Chapter 1273: Break Through!
The West Capital had been standing for 1000 years. Many people had gone through the four seasons here. Many people had lived and died here. This was something that they could not check and no one cared either.
Today, the West Capital was destroyed. Only ruins were left as most of the buildings had been reduced to rubble. Li Liang and the rest continued to kill the Jianghu Camp in the streets.
The Jianghu Camp had expected the battle to happen along the streets. They had even planned how they were going to use the houses to ambush the Imperial Dragon Soldiers. There were many more Jianghu Camp soldiers hiding than Li Liang had imagined.
No wonder Duanmu Huangqi did not want to leave the West Capital. He had created the perfect killing formation in the city.
But no matter whether it was Duanmu Huangqi or the commander of the Jianghu Camp, they had underestimated the Imperial Dragon Soldiers. Even when they had reached the limits of their imagination, they still underestimated the Imperial Dragon Soldiers.
Without Lu Shu, the Imperial Dragon Soldiers efficacy did not seem to be affected in the hands of Li Liang. He was not restricted to the streets by the buildings. Instead, he made Li Heitan lead the others and destroy all the buildings wherever they went.
To Li Heitan, this was not very difficult. In Li Heitan’s words, if they were reckless, they would be done for!
Thus, the street battle had turned into a demolition project. They passed through half the city and destroyed almost half of the city. There were many buildings and houses left, but these had nothing to do with them. The Jianghu Camp had no choice but to destroy them when they were being attacked.
Li Liang laughed coldly through the communication channel. “I know the commander of the Jianghu Camp. He is the son of an aristocrat family who liked to talk big. After he advanced to Rank One, he has not fought many battles. All he does is talk. He is an armchair strategist. He treats the Black Feather Army with disdain.”
While Zhang Weiyu was leading the Imperial Palace Soldiers to kill the master, he panted and laughed. “You seem to hate him a lot.”
“In the past, I had no chance.” Li Liang steadied his breathing and said, “After all, we were all from the West Region. But now, it is different. I will beat him up.”
They were both from the West Region, but the commander of the Jianghu Camp had attacked and belittled Li Liang. How could Li Liang not be angry?
Back then, he felt that it was fine even if he returned as a demoted official but he was then insulted by the commander of the Jianghu Camp. He definitely remembered this.
To be honest, Li Liang was very grateful towards Lu Shu. Many people forgot that Li Liang had a heavy grudge towards Duanmu Huangqi. He was once a commander, but he was thrown out onto the streets of the palace like a dog. This humiliation could not be eliminated without killing Duanmu Huangqi.
But Li Liang would not let his hate get to his head. He calmly observed the direction and distribution of the Jianghu Camp. He then laughed coldly through the communication function. “Heitan, trample all the houses in the southwest direction for me. There are definitely Jianghu Camp soldiers hiding there. Kill them!”
The communication channel was a great advantage to the Imperial Dragon Soldiers. This war was far too chaotic. The dust produced when the houses were collapsed could reduce their field of vision to five meters. They could not see anything beyond five meters. Although this only happened occasionally, this could determine the victor in a battle.
Furthermore, battle cries filled the air. The efficiency of commands was greatly reduced.
With the communication channel, Li Liang’s commands could be clearly transmitted to everyone. This was one of the keys to victory.
The other key was that the average strength of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers was much higher than the Jianghu Camp soldiers.
The Jianghu Camp had been created to imitate the Imperial Dragon Soldiers. But the Imperial Dragon Soldiers had lived in the mountains. When the Jianghu Camp fought the Imperial Dragon Soldiers at close quarters in the streets, they thought that they would be invincible in their attacks. But they soon realized that the Imperial Dragon Soldiers easily blocked their attacks.
They attacked until there were times when they did not know where their weapons were. The Jianghu Camp soldiers aimed many punches at the Imperial Dragon Soldiers and the Imperial Dragon Soldiers did the same. In the end, only the bones of the Jianghu Camp soldiers could be heard breaking.
The Imperial Dragon Soldiers had an average strength of Rank Two. They were invincible. The average strength of the Jianghu Camp was only Rank Three. No one helped to develop the Jianghu Camp and Duanmu Huangqi could not bear to give them any techniques that would allow them to train to Rank One. He also had not given them any meals that included refresher fruits!
All of these reasons resulted in the current strength of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers!
If the Jianghu Camp did not hide in ambush, and did not outnumber the Imperial Dragon Soldiers, this battle would have been incredibly one-sided!
Furthermore, Anthony had taken back the Deep Sea White Sand. It surrounded Anthony, the Bishop, and Johnson. They were like white sharks hiding underground, ready to assist the Imperial Dragon Soldiers at any time.
Lu Shu said that he needed everyone, but this was an exaggeration. Were there any wars where there were no deaths?
Was a war with no deaths still considered a war? It would be called a legend.
But Lu Xiaoyu wanted to help Lu Shu complete this legend. She wanted to help Lu Shu boast as much as he could!
If Lu Xiaoyu was not afraid that the mastermind would attack at any time, she would have controlled Anthony and started a massacre!
At that moment, Li Liang recalled the formation of the Jianghu Camp and thought about how to break through. Lu Shu was in the sky, but Li Liang knew that he was waiting, waiting for an even more dangerous figure to appear.
Furthermore, as the commander of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers, he had to finish this war quickly. This would allow Lu Shu to observe the entire situation with no worries.
Li Liang knew that there were no slaves in the Jianghu Camp. Thus, if the commander of the Jianghu Camp wanted to issue commands, he had to make use of tools… the military flag! That was right. The Jianghu Camp relied on drumbeats and flags to pass down commands. At that moment, they would not be able to hear the drumbeats. Then they would definitely be relying on flags!
Suddenly, Li Liang flew into the sky, and rapidly flew back to the ground. He shouted through the communication channel, “Heitan, come back. We will break through from the northwest direction. The commander of the Jianghu Camp is there. As long as we steal their flags, the rest of the soldiers from the Jianghu Camp will be disorganized. We will be able to kill them easily!”
The Imperial Dragon Soldiers suddenly stopped and rapidly ran to the northwest like arrows. Some soldiers from the Jianghu Camp wanted to stop and disturb them, but after an exchange of blows, they were beaten up until their brains spilled out.
There were soldiers in the Jianghu Camp but they were most proud of the formation where they used swords and spears as shields. They could attack and defend and they were prepared for both!
But Li Liang looked down on this formation as being prepared for attack and defense meant that you could not do both!
The Jianghu Camp had just set up their defensive formation in the streets but before they could reinforce it with swords, they heard a crash. Then, they were dispersed by the Imperial Dragon Soldiers. Li Heitan was more direct. He punched through a shield and then broke the ribcage of the soldier holding the shield.
While Li Heitan removed the shield, he curiously asked through the communication channel, “Old Li, were you discriminated against by them in the past?”
Li Liang almost vomited blood!
