Chapter 234: 149: The Way to Save Yan Yan! The Villain Suo Lun!

Note: The first update of five thousand words is delivered. I’m going out for a bowl of rice noodles, then I’ll come back and continue to write. Brothers, your monthly votes must be cast for me, please beg you!

...

And just like that, Yan Nai’er left directly. Carrying Yan Yan’s crystal coffin, she walked toward the ground.

"Do not follow me, do not speak to me anymore, let everything end right here. Otherwise, it will be awkward for us both!"

As her unassailable words faded away, her figure vanished from Suo Lun’s sight.

And Suo Lun’s entire body, restrained by a powerful force, stood motionless in the underground chamber, unable to move.

...

Soon after, drumbeats resounded throughout the camp—a signal for the assembly of the entire army.

Then came the countless footsteps as the entire Silver Wolf Legion began to gather.

True to their reputation as the most elite mercenaries in the world, although it was late at night and nearly all the soldiers were still in deep slumber, in less than fifteen minutes over three thousand troops had already assembled, forming neat ranks on the training ground.

Thousands of torches blazed fiercely, thoroughly illuminating the entire area.

Yan Shuang, standing on the raised platform of the training ground, was clad in military garb.

In front of her lay a crystal coffin, inside which rested Silver Wolf Yan Yan.

Immediately, all the soldiers’ gazes were riveted on Yan Yan inside the coffin.

In an instant, it was as if the heavens had shattered and the earth had split asunder.

This was their Wolf King, their leader, their pillar, who now lay within a coffin.

The undefeated War God, the legendary mercenary, had... had fallen!

It was a bolt from the blue, shocking news that rocked the entire Silver Wolf Legion. The unit began to stir, to tremble, and even to disintegrate.

Yan Shuang’s gaze was ice-cold as she looked down at the Silver Wolf Legion and spoke in an extremely chilly tone, "There are four matters."

"First, as you can see, my father, Yan Yan, has fallen!"

"Second, the Silver Wolf Legion is in imminent danger. The twelve families of Tianye City have already plotted together to annihilate us, Silver Wolf."

"Third, anyone who wants to leave, I will not hold you back. Going home is okay, joining other mercenaries is fine, and even becoming my enemy is acceptable."

"Fourth, I will not sit and await my demise. I will strike first, seeking life amidst certain death. I need a Daredevil Brigade. The number doesn’t matter. With a hundred people, I will lead a hundred out to battle; with a thousand, I will lead a thousand."

In the night wind, Yan Shuang’s words carried no sorrow, only a chilling clarity.

Yet, hanging above the entire legion, was an atmosphere of utmost nobility and tragedy.

All eyes remained fixed on Yan Shuang, eagerly hoping she would speak further. Whether to retain them or to inspire their morale, even just another word would be welcome.

"I will not go to the Rage Wave Kingdom, nor to the Xiliang Kingdom, nor to the Night Orchid Duchy to become the Crown Princess Consort. I will only stay in Tianye City, fighting and battling to the end, even if it means being shattered to pieces, dying a gruesome death!"

"Those who want to join my Daredevil Brigade should think carefully—the battles ahead will be relentless, against enemies ten times our number, facing hunger, fatigue, bloodshed, and even a foregone conclusion of death."

"If the Silver Wolf Legion is fated to fall, then I hope to give it a magnificent send-off!"

Having said that, Yan Shuang carried the crystal coffin down from the platform, placed it on a warhorse, and then mounted a fierce Lion-Tiger Beast herself.

"Those who want to leave may do so now."

"Those who wish to stay can have this place. But remember, when we are surrounded and about to be annihilated by the enemy, do not come to our aid. And when you are surrounded and about to be annihilated, I will not come to your aid either."

"Finally," Yan Shuang solemnly drew her sword and declared sharply, "Those willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for the Silver Wolf Legion, those willing to follow me in seeking life from the jaws of death, take up your weapons, gather all the arrows, all the food, take all the warhorses, and follow me to carve a dawn out of the darkness..."

Then Yan Shuang spurred her Lion-Tiger Beast, accelerating as she continuously circled the Silver Wolf Army Camp.

Without any coercion, those willing to join her Daredevil Brigade mounted their horses and fell in line behind her.

Once they followed, they would face endless battles and ceaseless fighting, constant companionship with the desert, the stagnant water, fear, and death.

There were no promises, not even the illusion of victory.

The only message was to honor the Silver Wolf Legion with their deaths, to carve a dawn out of the dark night.

Yan Shuang rode the Lion-Tiger Beast tirelessly in circles, and the number of those following her grew more and more...

The first circuit, the second, the third!

Time was up; the time given to everyone to think had ended. To flee, to hold the fort, or to face death bravely?

Well over a thousand people joined Yan Shuang’s Daredevil Brigade, a group that had fought with Yan Yan for years, even decades. Many among them had watched Yan Shuang grow up from a young age.

These men represented the very elite core of the Silver Wolf Legion, the soul of the Silver Wolves!

Yan Shuang turned around and looked at the thousand-strong Daredevil Brigade behind her. Her frosty face broke into a smile for the first time as she said, "There are far more people eager to meet death than I had expected."

"Hahaha..." Immediately, the entire Daredevil Brigade burst into hearty laughter.

Yan Shuang’s smile disappeared as she said, "Then follow me, let’s raid their caravans, plunder their camps, wipe out any of their squads caught alone. Let our Silver Wolf Legion be reborn from battle and death..."
