they were only ordinary troops, and they did not have a marshal like Lu Lungan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the huge gap between them, a gap that was enough to compensate for the disparity in numbers…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, as Sikong Jing began to command, the situation instantly tilted in favor of the Soul Stealers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of his commands seemed to be perfectly timed to slaughter the opposing soldiers; soon the air was thick with flying blood, and the Luohun Road was littered with corpses—most of which belonged to the soldiers of Wang Hun State.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there were also many corpses of the newly joined mountain bandits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, Zeng Youhan began to panic, screaming, “Retreat, retreat immediately!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was in a frenzy; he felt as if he was facing a terrifyingly unparalleled commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that every one of his commands and strategies was so feeble, completely targeted and thwarted by his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the opponent’s gunners were even more terrifying, like Fierce Beasts wielding guns, embarking on a frenzied slaughter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retreat, retreat, retreat…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus the Wang Hun State Soldiers fled in complete disarray, while the Luohun New Thieves cackled maniacally as they pursued and butchered them; they were killing with delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Jing did not stop this but instead turned to look at the pale-faced Gongyang Ying, “Miss, how about my bargaining chips now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking violently, Gongyang Ying clenched her teeth and said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in her heart, she was utterly shocked; she had seen the command of the Soul Eater with her own eyes, it was mysteriously effective, absolutely terrifying—he was a very capable and mature commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was so wrong; the scattered bandits were turned into a fearsome weapon in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gongyang Ying silent, Sikong Jing then shouted, “Kill, chase down the Wang Hun State Soldiers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongyang Ying’s delicate face lost color as she cried out, “Wait a moment, let me think about it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Gongyang Ying stopped the pursuing Soul Stealers, intending at least to give the Wang Hun State Soldiers a chance to withdraw and catch their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Sikong Jing, he didn’t mind and directly announced, “Withdraw the troops back to camp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Luohun New Thieves were very unwilling to follow Sikong Jing’s order, they obediently complied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were well aware of how terrifying the Soul Eater Leader could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When all the Soul Stealers had returned to the cliff on Luohun Road, Sikong Jing looked back at Gongyang Ying and inquired, “Miss Gongyang, now that I have withdrawn my troops, how have you considered our position?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising her head slowly, Gongyang Ying resolutely said, “I’ve made up my mind, your stakes are still not high enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice, almost squeezed out between her teeth, was deliberately meant to infuriate Sikong Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She, Gongyang Ying, would not compromise!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha, hahaha…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what met her was the loud laughter of Sikong Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of a sudden, Sikong Jing pointed in the direction of the fleeing soldiers and said, “Miss Gongyang, Miss Gongyang, do you really think that by retreating, the Wang Hun State Soldiers can escape?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are too naive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you think I can’t guess your little schemes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The reason I withdrew the troops is because, for me, withdrawing them is no different from continuing the pursuit…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>or perhaps, the biggest difference is merely allowing Zeng Youhan to live a little while longer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words were incredibly arrogant, but the members of the 66th Army deeply agreed with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even the renowned War Soul Marshal Lu Lungan was no match for Sikong Jing, what chance did the likes of Zeng Youhan and the small Wang Hun State have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongyang Ying was provoked to anger, and she couldn’t help but let out a shrill scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Soul Eater Leader, you are too arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you think you are that strong just because you have some command abilities?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“City Lord Zeng Youhan will definitely seek reinforcements from the Imperial Capital, and the real War Soul Elite Soldiers will soon arrive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words were also deliberately uttered by Gongyang Ying to halt Sikong Jing’s intentions, just waiting for the reinforcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Sikong Jing remained unmoved and slowly raised his head to look towards the skyline, replying distantly, “The reinforcements from the War Soul Dynasty will arrive in about five days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What do you think I can do in these five days?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Sikong Jing looked again towards Gongyang Ying…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She, with a cold face, firmly retorted, “You can do nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five days is for the elite soldiers’ support…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but Wang Hun State is surrounded by three other states, and these states will immediately send troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as I am here, they will have to come to our aid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongyang Ying had thought it through clearly, Wang Hun State was not on the border, and naturally, there were other states nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Distant waters cannot quench a nearby fire, so she would seek the help of nearby waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the nearby waters were not that powerful, they would be enough to overwhelm and thoroughly inundate the Soul Stealers when combined from three states.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, other states might have made excuses not to help or sent a few people to cope with the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her, Gongyang Ying’s status was too high; therefore, the states would definitely not dare to neglect their duty and would surely come with full force to exterminate the threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If three million troops were not enough, then bring ten million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Jing sighed softly, then added, “Miss Gongyang, why must you make such a fuss?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just about a Thousand-year-old White Ginseng; is it really worth all this trouble?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Gongyang Ying sneered coldly and stopped talking, her expression resolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was no longer just about the Thousand-year-old White Ginseng; it was about the prestige of the War Soul Dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Soul Stealers were allowed to create havoc like this, even the War Soul Emperor might lose face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the situation were to be settled with a Thousand-year-old White Ginseng now, it would still be a loss of face for everyone in the War Soul Dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Soul Stealers must be annihilated!\u003C\u002Fp>",1429,"2026-06-06T08:52:00.587Z",1,"novelbin.me","0680bb49a71596afb576cc998b44b9facb477e66d5d5e64c4f489e3e8e92b08a","berserk-god-of-war-chapter-615","berserk-god-of-war-chapter-613",1881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fberserk-god-of-war-cover.jpg"]
