Chapter 97: 100,000 Troops

"Keep watching, and you will know." Yao Ye said indifferently.

Yao Ye stared intently at the facial changes of all the soldiers on the field. She saw various negative expressions appearing on their faces one after another; some had crazy smiles, some showed anger, and others showed terror.

Various emotions like greed, anger, and ignorance intertwined, forming a very terrifying picture.

The soldiers on the drill ground soon began to slaughter each other. Some even harbored evil intentions toward Yao Ye, their faces showing evil expressions, as if they were thinking of doing something to her.

Yao Ye looked at the soldiers rushing toward her with evil on their faces, without the slightest expression. However, Liang Ye behind Yao Ye narrowed his eyes, his long spear flickered, and cold lights flashed; the soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

Liang Ye looked at the soldiers crazily slaughtering each other in front of him, his brows furrowed. He never expected that the power of this poison pill would be so terrifying.

Under the gaze of Yao Ye and Liang Ye, the soldiers on the drill ground became fewer and fewer. When the last soldier, unable to find a target, rushed toward Yao Ye again and was subsequently killed by Liang Ye, the drill ground finally became quiet.

However, those great families in the Imperial Capital had eyes and ears all over the city, so they naturally knew what these iron cavalry were going to do.

The Mittel Clan was a commercial family whose business spanned the entire Gama Empire. Merchants were always well-informed, so it was difficult to hide anything from their eyes.

"This... this!" Liang Ye looked at the corpses all over the ground in front of him, feeling somewhat terrified. He had only heard about it before, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he knew how great the harm of this poison pill really was.

The people of the Mu Family basically served as commanders of the empire's army, so no matter what war occurred in the Gama Empire, they couldn't hide it from the Mu Family.

These civilians living in the Imperial Capital had no channels for information; all news was passed by word of mouth, and of course, they believed whatever others said.

The Nalan Family had been busy dealing with the aftermath of Nalan Yanran and Nalan Jie recently, so they paid less attention to the outside world. After all, both the breaking of the engagement and Nalan Jie's serious illness had a huge impact on the Nalan Family.

"Hehe, what does this count as!" Mu Chen smiled.

"What's so strange about this? When has the Snake-People's attack ever stopped! You haven't been to Mo City on the eastern border. That is the city closest to the Taguer Desert, and it is attacked by the Snake-People all year round. Even if there is no war, you can smell the pungent blood there." The mercenary beside him said as a matter of course.

"So it was poisoning! But are those mercenaries all fools? How could they fall for a teenager's trick?" Nalan Jie still couldn't believe it.

"Do you still think I'm overreacting now?" Yao Ye pointed to the corpses all over the drill ground and said word by word.

Hearing Yao Ye's words, Liang Ye felt a sudden shock in his heart. He finally understood why Yao Ye had sent such a large force. Because once Nie Feng was allowed to escape, the entire Gama Empire would fall into an irrecoverable situation.

The appearance of these flying magical beasts attracted the attention of many. Some speculated that there might be another war, as the Gama Empire had many external enemies, such as the Chuyun Empire or the Snake-People Tribe of the Taguer Desert, or perhaps a sudden riot of magical beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

"Collect all the flying magical beasts in the city, and let the 50,000 Imperial Guards stationed on the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range. This time, even if we have to go to heaven or hell, we must find him." Yao Ye took out a gold token and handed it to Liang Ye to mobilize the troops.

"That's true, but no matter how they fight, they can't fight to the Imperial Capital, right!" The middle-aged man nodded and said indifferently.

The Imperial Capital had not seen war for many years. Now, the people living in the Imperial Capital were accustomed to a comfortable life, so they were not interested in war at all. After watching for a while, they lost interest and went about their own business.

"Hehe, I just received news that the Princess has also dispatched 50,000 troops, setting up a net, to deal with the teenager named Nie Feng." Mu Chen said with a smile.

"The three mercenary groups together have about 4,000 people! Can he, a mere Dou Zhe, kill so many people? Unless his mysterious master behind him takes action, that might be possible." Nalan Jie shook his head, somewhat incredulous.

"If he takes advantage of the soldiers in our camp resting and puts this poison pill in, tell me how many of my 50,000 iron cavalry will be left. If he is even crazier and throws the poison directly into the Imperial Capital, then everyone in the entire Imperial Capital will die." Yao Ye said with a gloomy face.

Liang Ye looked at the gold token in Yao Ye's hand, hesitated slightly, but still took it. Then he turned and drove a flying magical beast toward the Imperial Guard camp outside the city.

In a luxurious courtyard, an old man with a slightly arrogant face stroked his gray beard and said: "I didn't expect this little girl to have such courage, sending out all 50,000 Imperial Guards at once."

"To deal with a wet-behind-the-ears kid, is it necessary to make such a big move?" Nalan Jie said with disdain.

"It seems the old man still doesn't believe it! Why don't you introduce the terror of that poison to the old man!" Mu Chen smiled and said to Miteer Tengshan.

"Have you heard? Those disgusting Snake-People in the Taguer Desert have launched a major attack, wanting to occupy a piece of territory in the Gama Empire." A middle-aged man in the city looked up at the huge flying magical beasts in the sky and said to the mercenary-dressed person beside him.

"We can claim to the outside world that it is a Snake-People riot. Our war with the Snake-People has never stopped, so the outside world will not suspect anything. And we don't want to kill him; the cost of killing him is too great, and our Gama Empire cannot afford it. This time, we must either subdue him or make him voluntarily give up his hostility toward the Gama Empire. No matter how great the price..." Yao Ye exhaled and said slowly.

Liang Ye nodded. Although the scene was a bit big, he would just treat it as going out for training. Anyway, there would be no loss, and it could cover people's eyes and ears.

"But that mysterious master behind him, and the President of the Alchemist Guild, Fama, are both existences that cannot be underestimated." Liang Ye frowned and said worriedly.

"At first we didn't believe it either! So we specifically investigated and found that these people did indeed die at the hands of Nie Feng, but he didn't kill them by his own strength, but by poisoning." Mu Chen said indifferently.

"Could it be that there are other moves?" Miteer Tengshan and Nalan Jie looked at Mu Chen together.

Not long after Liang Ye left, nearly a hundred huge flying magical beasts appeared over the Imperial Capital. Their scales flashed with golden light, and they were all baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, with a menacing momentum.

"Old man, you have been recuperating from your injuries recently, so you don't know some things. The news I received last night is that the mercenaries of the three mercenary groups who went to deal with Nie Feng are almost all dead! And their deaths were extremely miserable; they died by slaughtering each other." Miteer Tengshan said slowly.

After a detailed introduction by Miteer Tengshan, Nalan Jie finally showed a look of realization.

"No wonder that girl was so determined to send so many people to deal with Nie Feng; it turns out she was afraid of retaliation afterward! The prestige of the Royal Family is going to be affected this time!" Nalan Jie laughed.
