Chapter 69: Surprise Attack

This requires this elite force to have a top-tier War God and strong combat power and willpower.

Ensure this elite force does not collapse midway.

And now, fortunately, there is a War God who fully meets this condition and is volunteering.

Qin Qiong had a subtle smile on his face.

"Hehe, right!"

"Shu Bao thinks the same way."

The Spiritually Enlightened Stone Monkey understands transformations, knows the seasons, knows the geography, and can shift stars and change constellations.

Although Sun Wukong's amazing intuition faintly sensed something was off.

But Qin Qiong bore no ill will toward Sun Wukong.

Therefore, Sun Wukong didn't think anything was wrong; instead, he scratched his head and gave Qin Qiong a goofy hehe laugh.

"Just, letting Wukong lead an elite force forward is fine, but you must agree to a few conditions."

Watching Sun Wukong happily scratching his ears and cheeks on his mount, Qin Qiong's face darkened, and he took the opportunity to say to Sun Wukong:

"Hehe, you say, you say."

"As long as you let me, Old Sun, lead the team, I'll agree to whatever you say!"

"Don't talk about a few conditions; even dozens, I, Old Sun, would agree."

Seeing Qin Qiong agree to let him personally lead the troops to attack and seize territory, Sun Wukong was thrilled.

"First, this raid on Blue Mountain County City is a secret march requiring disguise, so Wukong, your golden armor and this Golden Cudgel cannot be brought."

Seeing Sun Wukong wearing golden chainmail armor, a phoenix-wing purple-gold crown, lotus-silk cloud-stepping boots, and shouldering a splendid Golden Cudgel.

Qin Qiong's mouth twitched; Sun Wukong going on the raid in this lavish gear, even a fool could tell something was off.

"Hehe, fine, fine, Old Sun will simply not wear this gear."

Looking at this gear on his person, Sun Wukong didn't mind; he wore it merely to satisfy his flamboyant personality, which had little impact on combat.

"Second, for this raid, Wukong, you cannot lead the troops; not only can you not command soldiers, you must also obey the orders of the raid's commander."

Thinking of Sun Wukong's impulsive nature, probably before his raiding force even neared Blue Mountain County City, he'd start shouting for everyone to charge shoulder to shoulder.

Just imagining that scene gave Qin Qiong a headache.

"Uh, that works, that works, Old Sun will comply."

Upon hearing that he couldn't lead the troops in this raid, Sun Wukong blinked, but didn't really mind.

What he originally cared about most was being able to slaughter widely in this raid; truly having him divert attention to manage those troops, he himself wouldn't be happy.

Although having one more person supervising him, compared to the importance of this raid, it's nothing.

"Third point, and also the last!"

When mentioning the third point, seeing Sun Wukong's face already showing a hint of impatience, Qin Qiong hastily spoke up.

"Finally, after successfully raiding Blue Mountain County, Wukong, you must by no means underestimate the enemy and rush forward."

"Remember, you must hold the gate and wait for General Shu Bao's army to arrive."

To be frank, Sun Wukong's monkey-like nature enduring to this point has already exceeded Qin Qiong's expectations.

So Qin Qiong quickly finished stating the last point, and only after seeing Sun Wukong nod did he allow him to leave to prepare for the raid.

In the faint light before dawn, a group of elite troops clad in armor, under the leadership of a Colonel, quietly approached the gate of Blue Mountain County City.

Their steps were firm and powerful, as if each step measured the distance to victory.

Among them mixed in was a soldier holding a dark iron staff; the long staff glimmered with a metallic sheen in the faint morning light, like a flickering flame, ready at any moment to ignite the battlefield's smoke.

"General Sun, General Qin has instructed that you should follow my commands."

Looking at Sun Wukong beside him, restless as if with ADHD, unable to stay still, face full of excitement.

The Colonel leading beside him anxiously urged.

After marching together with the vanguard army for so long, now the entire ten-thousand-strong vanguard army knows what kind of temperament this top-tier War God has.

Now, strict control surely won't work; this Colonel can only hope that after this Lord goes on a killing spree, he'll still remember the mission of this trip.

"Got it, got it, Old Sun knows."

"So annoying!"

Sun Wukong, face full of excitement, impatiently dealt with the Colonel's urging, his eyes fixed on the not-far Blue Mountain County City.

At this moment, Blue Mountain County City's gate was tightly shut, its towering walls faintly visible in the dawn, like a sleeping giant beast, oblivious to the approaching danger.

The air was filled with a killing aura, making the originally tranquil county seat tense and heavy.

Suddenly, a sharp horn blast shattered the morning's tranquility; it was the signal to attack, also a death-summoning talisman.

The assault troop hastily assembled from the vanguard army surged forward like a flood; in an instant, war drums and clashing armor resounded through the heavens.

"Hehe!"

"Old Sun is here!"

Sun Wukong, holding an iron staff, let out a skyward roar; his whole person was like a sharp sword, leading the elite troops straight for the gate.

His eyes flashed with determined light; facing the impending battle, he showed no fear.

The staff spun freely in his hand, sometimes swift like a violent storm, sometimes continuous like flowing water.

Each strike carried the force of thunder, as if it could tear the air, awe-inspiring.

At this moment, the Qi Zhou garrison before Blue Mountain City's gate appeared somewhat caught off guard by the sudden attack.

They held their weapons, strenuously resisting the fierce onslaught.

However, faced with the enemy surging like a tide and that peerlessly mighty staff-wielding War God, their resistance seemed utterly insignificant.

The battle entered a white-hot stage from the outset.

The defenders on the city walls began to react, arrows raining down like droplets, falling among the charging troops, accompanied by the soldiers' painful groans and wails.

At this moment, Sun Wukong, who was rushing at the forefront, had an ever colder gaze; he waved his long staff with increasing speed, each sweep accompanied by a shrill wind.

His figure moved freely across the battlefield, like an agile leopard galloping across the plains.

The defenders on the city wall began to waver, shaken by this fierce offensive.

Watching Sun Wukong display his divine might beneath the city wall, the Qi Zhou garrison was struck by that iron staff in close contact.

That truly meant a graze caused injury, a touch caused death.

On the battlefield, the staff‑hammer commander was invincible.

Especially in the hands of Sun Wukong, a War God born with divine strength.

His casual strike left the Qing Shan County defenders either with caved‑in chests or shattered skulls.

Some soldiers with weak resolve began to sneak away, fleeing this battlefield filled with death and bloodshed.

However, more soldiers chose to hold their positions, gritting their teeth and resisting the enemy's advance with their weapons at the cost of their lives.

"Ha!"

"All of you get lost, Old Sun!"

Suddenly, Sun Wukong, wielding an iron staff and rampaging beneath the city wall, let out an earth‑shaking roar; his figure instantly accelerated, he brushed aside the blocking defenders and charged straight for the gate.
