Chapter 188: Berserk

And thus, the story would conclude.

Barbarians entering the city, hell on earth is created, Qiao Meng would get the reputation of an idiot, and he, Xu Bailong even though he ran from the city he would get the reputation of a great strategist

Xu Shu hated this kind of person the most.

They said that they are loyal from the mouth, but their action is only for the pursuit of fame, fortune and power.

Xu Shu sighed as he opens his eyes.

In front of his eyes is the Great Spear, his sword is raised and then he sighed.

Xu Shu who is ready to cut the rope that active the Great Spear put down his sword and shakes his head

"General, we could still try? This Great Spear even if it did not kill that person, could still create a lot of damage if we use it right now"

One of the captains said it to him as he saw that Xu Shu did not want to cut the strings. But Xu Shu shakes his head

"The only way for this to work was to kill that person"

Xu Shu saw Belarion killing Xiongba before and he knows that this man is the heart of the army of the Steppe warriors.

He could see that the steppe warriors on the northern gates listen to Belarion orders like a decree from god.

Belarion made his name known in that battle. Each victory he has increase the morale of the Steppe warriors.

And his failure would also consequently lower the morale of the Stepp warriors.

Then if he is dead.... the consequences of his death toward the morale of the Steppe warriors would be devastating

And Xu Shu knows that unless he kills Belarion, the siege on the northern side of the city could not be stopped

Xu Shu look around the hut, looking at the men that had followed him in this endeavour.

He looks at the faces of his men and sighed. And then he looks from the small hole of the window. He could see the chaos, the death and the killing

His heart is torn and then he shakes his head

"If I cut the rope right now, the Great Spear would fly forward and it might kill a few dozen men. It will not change the outcome of this battle. But it will change your life and my life. You are all my confidant. I know that we could die if we use this"

Xu Shu knows that if he had succeeded before, the hut would be exposed. When the Greta Spear flew this hut would also be taken with it

And if it kills Belarion, the Steppe warriors would surely be fuel with anger and tear them apart. And Xu Shu operating alone with only twelve men would surely die. But he could accept that trade off if he could kill Belarion.

Xu Shu do not care about Qiao Meng.

Or those leaders.

What he cares about is the people of the city.

Killing Belarion would probably made many more people of the city able to escape. And dampen the morale of the Steppe warriors.

As long as he could kill Belarion, then more people could be saved.

That was his intention.

And his intention is noble and pure and he would have sacrificed his life and even the life of his confidant to make sure this happens

Xu Shu is an honourable man. Before he asks them to follow him, he already told them the risk. Xu Shu is honourable and also righteous.

And people like him also only associate with such person.

Even when he had told them it is a suicide mission if they succeed, twelve of his men all decided to follow him.

They did not mind to die for the sake of honour and righteousness.

If their death could save so many people, they would not mind it.

And that is why Xu Shu is with his twelve men in this hut, determined to kill Belarion. And just a moment ago, the plan was about to be complete

But a roar and a shout broke this plan. And so, Xu Shu could not help but sigh.

Because of that shout and roar, Belarion is awoken and now, the position is not right. The position that Xu Shu is thinking about is the position in which the projectile on the end of the contraption could be shot to kill Belarion.

Once Belarion is not in the right position, even if Xu Shu released the projectile on the weapon, it would not be able to kill Belarion or even injured him. Because those with innate strength also have fast reflexes. It must be an attack so fast that he did not realize it for the weapons to have a chance to take down Suh a person who was born with innate strength

Having such a stationary weapon in a hut, no least.... made it very hard to lure Belarion.

The soldiers that are fighting Belarion and leading him closer to the hut all of them follow his order

But once Belarion awoken and did not come to the designated position, Xu Shu knows the chance has gone by.

And it could not be recovered. So, he could only sigh.

Now, if he shot this Great Spear and revealed themselves, he would not achieve what he had set out to do and he would sacrifice the life of his men for nothing

To die for a noble cause of saving the lives of the people is a death worth dying.

And his men who shares the same aspiration as him would not mind dying for such a reason

But who is not afraid of death? Who does not have people waiting for them to return home?

Xu Shu have someone waiting for him at home and so does his subordinate.

And to just kill a few insignificant Steppe warriors that would not change nothing with the traded off being the lives of his men...that is not worth it

So, he does not want to make this trade.

"We retreat" And then Xu Shu quickly lit the hut on fire, not leaving this weapon to the hands of the Great Steppe warriors.

As the smoke rises toward the sky, thirteen horses ride away from the hut escaping the city

Belarion did not know that he had just avoided death.

If Aeryon did not ride his horse and come forward to awaken him, there is a high chance, that the Great Spear would pierce him and even in the lucky circumstances that he did not die, he would probably be severely injured.

And that alone would sow the seed of fear among the Steppe warriors.

They would then think that the Yan is still strong. And such outcome is something that Aeryon dreaded

Because that would be counterproductive to Aeryon true intention for attacking the Aeryon attacked Nurshira not only because of resources but also to familiarize his men with the people of Yan and break the myth of invincibility of the Yan people

So, Aeryon must win the battle. And he must win it beautifully. Failure would not be tolerated.

Belarion is still laughing and then as he looks at those people that are running

"The Yan people is only this! Cowards! Today I will leave you with your life today! Weak! We Steppe people are strong!"

his words are simple and even slurred because of his excitement.

But these simple words coupled with the visuals of hundreds of men all over Belarion trail of destruction, create a very powerful impact

"ROAR!" All of the warriors of the Brolgadhr roars together, the roar alone seems to shake the Heaven and Earth!

He takes his glaive and then grab one of the horses that have no riders.

The horse was stunned for a while and wanted to throw him off but Belarion clamp the horse belly with both of his thighs and the horse like it could recognize the strength of the human sitting on top of him obeys almost immediately

Belarion grasped the reins and then with a glaive in his hand, he spins it, and a powerful surge of wind gathers around his glaive and then he swung to his right

The wind condenses and a curved like energy ripples out from the glaive and even though the glaive is a few feet away from the ground, the ground was cut by the gust of wind that was condensed

Aeryon saw this and could not help but gasp in amazement.

Belarion keep shocking him. It is clear from that demonstration that after Belarion expended most of his energy, instead of growing weaker, he has grown again in strength

"It almost felt like he is the one having the system and not me" Aeryon thought to himself.

Maybe this is why those with innate strength always like to fight. Because each time they fight, they become stronger

Belarion look on the battlefield that is now wrecked with all kinds of destruction.

There is fire everywhere and screams and shouts are so intermingled with each other it sounds more like a song

there is a sharp light in his eyes. He scans the battlefield and like always his instinct informed him which is the most optimal way to attack

"I will take revenge for my men" Belarion shouted. And his shout echoes all over, piercing the sky and push away the wind

Belarion eyes went red and a murderous aura rises up from him

Belarion went berserk!
