Rumble!
The heavy sound of hooves pounded on the ground like thunder!
Despite traveling for many consecutive days, the formation of this army remained perfectly in sync, like a single entity, without the slightest disarray.
The most terrifying part was that, throughout this march, they hadn't leaked their movements; even as they entered the Northern Domain, no information had spread out.
By the time the two battling sides heard the thundering hooves, this iron cavalry had already charged into the battlefield!
Steel torrent!
In the night, the black torrent seemed ready to tear a gap in the heavens and earth!
"What is that?"
In an instant, whether they were deserters or humans, both sides were stunned by the sudden appearance of this cavalry, until someone recognized the identity of these horsemen from their black armor and exclaimed aloud, truly bringing everyone back to their senses!
"Changling Iron Cavalry!"
Everyone was astounded by the scene. Wasn't the Changling Iron Cavalry stationed at Jiangbei Camp?
It's important to know, the distance from Jiangbei to here is more than eight thousand miles!
Most crucially... the Changling Army virtually never intervenes in any affairs. Even if Jubei City fell or the entire Northern Domain was overrun, without the command of King of Changlin, the Changling Army wouldn't even spare a glance.
But... who could have known why the Changling Army would suddenly appear in the Northern Domain?!
Crazy!
Not just others, even the subordinates sent by Prince Yu were dumbfounded. This information, even Prince Yu didn't know!
Of course, regardless of what anyone thought, at this moment the Changling Army didn't care in the slightest!
Wherever their swords pointed, all were crushed!
A hundred thousand Changling Iron Cavalry, like an incredibly sharp butcher's knife, were frantically reaping lives on the battlefield.
...
"Retreat!"
An unexpected look flashed in Jing Yuan's eyes; even he couldn't have anticipated any of this. Yet, the moment he confirmed the identity of the Changling Army, he immediately issued the command to retreat!
This battle was no longer winnable!
The appearance of the Changling Iron Cavalry meant the situation would inevitably become one-sided. After all, the deserters couldn't handle both the Changling Iron Cavalry and the cavalry of Jubei City at the same time, at least... the current deserter army invading the Northern Domain was far from enough!
Only by swiftly retreating to the Extreme North Wilderness could they gather more deserters to resist the northerly march of the Changling Army.
Most crucially... the instant he saw the Changling Army appear, Jing Yuan immediately realized that this time, the real target of their northern march was not the deserters, but Yuan Shouyi!
As long as the deserters swiftly pull out, the blade of the Changling Army would point at Yuan Shouyi. If Yuan Shouyi truly could wield these riders, very soon, they would clash among themselves.
Moreover, for the deserters, this might not necessarily be entirely a bad thing!
The Changling Army wasn't here to exterminate the deserters, so they certainly wouldn't intervene in their attack on the Profound Moon Sword Sect.
Taking this opportunity to destroy the disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect and completely obliterate the sect wouldn't encounter any obstruction, which didn't conflict with Jing Yuan's plans!
Furthermore... if the speculation was accurate, these Changling Army might even directly target the Profound Moon Sword Sect!
Of course, all of this hinges on... whether Wang Junze is truly dead!
...
Just as Jing Yuan guessed, although the Changling Army charged onto the battlefield, their real target was not the deserters.
Su Yuwei didn't care if the deserters ran or not; she directed a main force straight towards Yuan Shouyi's position.
For the Changling Army scouts, possessing powerful reconnaissance abilities, finding Yuan Shouyi in the chaotic battle wasn't that difficult a task.
In less than a quarter of an hour, they located Yuan Shouyi, with Gao Hongliang personally leading troops to follow Su Yuwei in attacking Yuan Shouyi's personal guard.
When the Changling Iron Cavalry suddenly charged out, Yuan Shouyi was still commanding his guards to encircle Luo Qingxuan and Wang Junze.
It wasn't until that terrifying sound of hooves broke through the night that Yuan Shouyi's eyes finally showed a deep-seated fear!
He could never forget the words Su Yuwei said to him in the City Lord's Mansion before she left the Northern Domain.
This was also the reason he turned to the Four Symbols Sect and Prince Yu.
Especially Prince Yu; wasn't it rumored that this Princess Changlin was Princess Consort Yu?
He had already pledged allegiance to Prince Yu, so how dare she mobilize the Changling Army northwards?!
Was this woman truly mad?
"Yuan Shouyi, have you forgotten what I, Commandery Princess, said to you?"
In the Changling Army, Su Yuwei stepped forward, flying directly into the air, her cold voice suddenly resonating across the battlefield.
All the hatred seemed to erupt in that instant.
Even though she hadn't even seen Yuan Shouyi yet, she had just arrived at this battlefield.
"Su Yuwei, are you crazy?"
Yuan Shouyi shouted in a furious rage, "I have Prince Yu behind me, how dare you kill me?"
Yuan Shouyi didn't even bother to explain that Wang Junze wasn't dead, he directly invoked the name of Prince Yu.
He had no choice; he knew too well the depth of hatred between him and Wang Junze.
For him, Wang Junze being alive might be worse than if he had actually killed Wang Junze...
