Lord in the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 222: Shaking the Asia Server

Long Chen responded mysteriously:

"Zilong, take some men to gather part of the grain inside the city as three days’ rations.

Burn the rest to ashes!! After that, we’ll withdraw immediately!"

Zhao Yun accepted the order and left. Lü Bu stepped forward, puzzled:

"My lord, why don’t we take the grain with us instead of burning it all? Isn’t that a waste?"

Long Chen shook his head and explained slowly:

"It’s not that I don’t want to take the grain with us. It’s because our army is all cavalry.

Taking the grain would slow down our march."

"Moreover, in this operation, we only need to destroy Sakura Kingdom’s supplies."

Lü Bu nodded thoughtfully at Long Chen’s words, inwardly impressed by Long Chen’s meticulous planning.

Standing atop the city wall, Long Chen held his sword. The wind blew, scattering his long hair as his robe fluttered, exuding an ancient charm.

In the live broadcast room, many female fans were already astonished by Long Chen’s appearance.

After all, a charm value of 100 in looks was truly remarkable, akin to how a man might feel upon seeing the peerless Diaochan.

"Chenchen~ come to sister, sister will take care of you for life~~"

"Ah ah ah~~ Chenchen looks so cool like this!! His sharp facial features are like those crafted by God!" said a girl from the White Bear Country.

"Wow, so cute!!" exclaimed a female viewer from Sakura Kingdom.

Teacher Zeng raised the microphone with a smile and responded, "It seems our Dragon Team’s attractiveness transcends generations! Xiao E, are you feeling excited?"

Beside him, the female commentator Xiao E blushed shyly.

Back on the battlefield, frёeωebɳovel.com

Hell Ghost Eye led the remaining 80,000 troops out of the Imperial City, heading towards his main city, Hell Ghost City.

During their retreat, the troops under Hell Ghost Eye’s command maintained orderly formations, avoiding any confusion.

This left the "Imperial Sword," originally intending to chase them, frustrated and returning home despondently, silently praying that Long Chen would stay safe.

With only around 10,000 troops now, Hell Ghost Eye couldn’t do much to help.

He could only return to the city to recuperate and restore his fallen soldiers.

In the continental tournament format, the main city served as a respawn point; as long as the main city was intact, fallen soldiers would gradually recover over 24 hours.

This was why Hell Ghost Eye reluctantly let go of the Imperial City he was about to capture and withdrew all forces to his main city.

If Hell Ghost City fell, he would be like a drifting duckweed without roots, and his warrior army would suffer permanent losses.

Sakura Kingdom would instantly fall into a disadvantage.

Moreover, Hell Ghost Eye knew that Long Chen had brought only a small force, giving him a chance to reclaim his main city.

Therefore, retreat was necessary!

However, as they arrived at Hell Ghost City in a weary state, they found the city gates wide open and no one on the walls.

It was eerily quiet, like a true ghost city.

"What... what’s going on?!" (Sakura language)

A stout man named "Turtle Tendo," one of the five competitors from Sakura Kingdom, scratched his small beard in confusion and asked.

He was acting in tandem with Hell Ghost Eye.

"Turtle Tendo, why don’t you lead your troops in to investigate?" Hell Ghost Eye said calmly.

"No... no way!!" Turtle Tendo shook his head vigorously in refusal.

With the situation in Hell Ghost City unclear, entering rashly could lead to a sudden attack.

"Turtle Tendo, do you want me to repeat myself?!!"

Hell Ghost Eye glared at him coldly, slowly drawing his warrior’s sword from his waist.

The blade glinted with a chilling light, brimming with endless killing intent.

At the same time,

Three blood-red lotus flowers flashed in his pitch-black eyes.

Seeing the leader’s intimidating stance, Turtle Tendo trembled all over.

Damn it, please don’t let Hell Ghost Eye unleash his Sharingan technique; otherwise, he would be plunged into a bizarre illusion.

In this illusion, he would encounter the most terrifying things lurking deep within his heart.

Turtle Tendo’s crafty eyes darted around, quickly bowing ninety degrees and hastily replying:

"Hai! I’ll go right away! Lord Hell Ghost Eye, please calm down."

Several squads of shadow warriors followed Turtle Tendo into the deserted city.

Hell Ghost Eye narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists tightly, and thought to himself:

"Long Chen, I don’t know what trick you’re playing!"

"But even if there are ambushes you’ve set in the city, I can still lead my troops to break through them!"

It’s not surprising that Hell Ghost Eye would think this way. After all, Long Chen’s cunning was enough to make even him wary, especially since he had faced setbacks in front of Long Chen several times before.

Therefore, he handled the situation with extreme caution and care. However, what he didn’t expect was that Long Chen had already led his cavalry to retreat dozens of miles away.

The reason for leaving the city gates wide open and creating an atmosphere of solemn silence was to exploit the enemy commander’s psychology: not daring to believe that he would abandon Hell Ghost City so easily after capturing it.

In doing so, they would inevitably waste a lot of time outside the city.

Long Chen could use this time difference to move his troops to another location.

When Turtle Tendo emerged from the city again, his face was filled with an incredulous expression.

"My lord!! Hell Ghost Eye, inside... inside is empty, no one at all..."

Upon hearing these words, Hell Ghost Eye first froze, then after a long moment, overwhelming anger surged randomly within him.

"Baga yarou!!"

His slightly fair complexion suddenly turned red.

He... he had been played like a monkey, wasting so much time here in vain.

Ah... forget it, no matter what. Although he failed to chase and kill Long Chen’s Huaxia army, he finally reclaimed his main city.

Even though it was Long Chen who voluntarily exchanged it...

"Report!"

"My lord, all the grain and provisions in our city have been burned."

"In addition... the durability of the barracks in the city has also been reduced by half."

A black-clad warrior reported with his head bowed.

Hell Ghost Eye’s eyes were pitch black, revealing nothing of his emotions.

The "mmp" in his heart could no longer be expressed in words. All he knew was that once Long Chen fell into his hands, he would definitely make him experience the power of his Sharingan.

...

...

Night fell over the land, and the wind was strong. It stirred the weeds in the fields and also stirred everyone’s hearts.

Long Chen’s bold actions drove countless Huaxia fans and even many Sakura Kingdom residents crazy with excitement.

Long Chen’s ID name also made headlines in "Lord of Lords" that night.

Thunder flashed in the background, and the golden dragon swung.

One word, "awesome!"

Now, back to Long Chen returning to Dragon City, his main city.
