Free Web NovelChapter 1259: Chapter 1259: Major Upheaval—The Traitor Has Become a Loyal Defender of the City?
Before the Xiliang Soldiers could react,
their long spears had already pierced through the chests of the foremost Xiliang soldiers.
Bright red blood flowed out, drawing deep crimson lines across the snow-covered ground.
Cang Shike, who had been so calm, was now in utter panic.
He was shocked, glaring angrily at Yuan Zhen: "You are immoral, calling an ambush while colluding with the Emperor of Yan Country!"
Without further hesitation, Cang Shike immediately ordered a full-scale combat engagement!
All the Xiliang soldiers were aggressive and fierce but facing these Iron Cavalry, they were as vulnerable as tofu under a knife.
The ground was quickly stained with a sheet of red.
Yuan Zhen stood there hesitantly.
Their... reinforcements?
However, soon, some Iron Cavalry bypassed the Xiliang soldiers and charged directly at them.
Without saying a word, these Iron Cavalry raised their hands and struck!
Yuan Zhen, startled, immediately shouted: "Formations, quickly!"
No matter how well-trained the elite troops of the Regent King were, even the formidable Jingwei dispatched by Xie Yu,
couldn’t withstand the long spears of these Iron Cavalry!
They were like ghosts, agile in movement, whether on horseback or on foot, handling every situation with ease.
In fact!
Yuan Zhen’s longsword pierced the chest of one Iron Cavalry in front of him.
No blood appeared!
But with a punch, the Iron Cavalry shattered Yuan Zhen’s longsword into shards!
Before Yuan Zhen could react, he was lifted into the air by a long spear from that person.
Finally, he fell heavily to the ground.
"Ugh..." He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
He thought he had encountered a formidable enemy and was doomed.
However, the purpose of these Iron Cavalry wasn’t him.
After injuring everyone, they didn’t linger in battle and mounted their horses again to gallop forward.
Yuan Zhen’s ribs were aching, making it impossible for him to rise temporarily.
But in a flash at the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw two white figures soaring into the sky.
They looked like a man and a woman, dressed in white robes and wearing masks.
The man led the woman as they swiftly flew past.
They brought with them a gust of cold wind, as if even the snowfall was purposely for them, imposing and fierce.
Those Iron Cavalry seemed to receive some kind of order, swiftly urging their horses forward.
Yuan Zhen regained his composure and hurriedly climbed up: "Stop them, their target is the imperial palace!"
Xie Yu’s strong soldiers and the Regent King’s elite troops suddenly abandoned their battle with the opponents.
All of them grabbed their weapons, mounted horses, and chased after them.
The downfall of the nation wasn’t their mutual goal; the country’s leadership could change hands, but it must not fall to outsiders.
The previously opposing forces suddenly merged into one army.
Xie Yu was accompanying Xixi in reading when the Chief Eunuch rushed in: "Emperor, bad news!"
Xixi quickly lifted his head.
Xie Yu considered the child’s presence and coldly said: "Speak outside."
He stepped into the outer chamber, where the Chief Eunuch explained: "Unknown formidable troops are attacking the imperial palace!"
Xie Yu sneered: "Unknown? It’s that treacherous Regent King; just say so."
The Chief Eunuch shook his head repeatedly: "It’s not the Regent King! The Regent King and Heir Yuan Zhen are resisting these troops at the palace gates!"
This left Xie Yu momentarily stunned.
What’s going on?
Those who were supposed to attack them suddenly turned into the palace defenders?
Xie Yu immediately stepped forward, heading towards the palace gate.
The Chief Eunuch quickly followed behind: "Emperor! Wait, it’s dangerous!"
However, Xie Yu couldn’t concern himself with that anymore.
He needed to see the truth with his own eyes.
