Chapter 1697

"Eternal Heaven!"

"If you were to give this Prince one more chance, this Prince would certainly not be careless, nor would he lower his guard. This Prince would surely lead his elite forces and turn this fertile vast grassland into the burial ground for that Living Yama!"

Langya Royal City.

Under the cover of night.

The Prince of Langya looked up at the star-filled sky, a suppressed wolf howl rolling from his throat.

Especially when he looked back, and the once-luxurious Langya Royal City—the place in all of Hexi that everyone yearned for—came into view, his heart felt as if it could no longer breathe.

Pain!

Too painful!

The Prince of Langya clutched his chest, looking at the Langya Royal City, which had only been restored to thirty percent of its former state after great effort and the mobilization of countless Xiongnu people in Hexi, a flash of heartache crossing his eyes.

During this time, he found it hard to sleep every night, always thinking of that night when the Da Qian elites, like an army of gods, slaughtered their way into Langya Royal City.

In this battle, his forces suffered the greatest losses, and his strength was subsequently severely damaged.

If Eternal Heaven has any pity for him, could it grant him a chance for revenge?

"Sigh!"

"All of this is ultimately just wishful thinking. That Living Yama is famously afraid of death; having missed the last golden opportunity, I fear he will never send troops again in this lifetime."

"This grudge... there is no hope in this life!"

The Prince of Langya picked up a pot of strong liquor, drank it down with a gulping sound, and staggered back to the royal tent.

The pungent liquor rolled down his throat, carrying that resentment he could not vent.

The Prince of Langya took another large sip of the liquor and looked toward a corner of the royal tent.

A Da Qian woman with a graceful figure, wearing a thin gauze dress, was huddled tightly in the corner of the tent, her eyes filled with terror as she looked at the Prince of Langya.

The Prince of Langya looked down at this Da Qian woman from his height, a flash of extreme cruelty in his eyes.

He drew a sharp dagger and held it before his eyes; the sharp blade reflected the Prince of Langya's cruel cheeks, and the scar on his face twitched, looking truly terrifying.

"No..."

"Don't..."

This frail Da Qian woman shook her head frantically, her whole body tense, tears of terror flowing uncontrollably.

"Rest assured, this Prince will let you die in extreme agony!"

The Prince of Langya held the dagger and approached step by step.

"Prince of Langya, you will die a horrible death! Sooner or later, my Da Qian iron cavalry will return to slaughter you, and Minister Gao will hang your head on the gates of Changancheng!"

Seeing no path to survival, this Da Qian woman also erupted.

The Prince of Langya's expression changed, his killing intent soaring, "You still dare to mention the Da Qian Living Yama in front of this Prince?"

"Good!"

"This Prince likes women who are so fiery and have such hard bones; otherwise, wouldn't it be too boring later?"

He held the dagger and approached step by step, like a demon from the depths of hell.

But just at this moment.

Giddyap!

Giddyap, giddyap!

A Xiongnu soldier was galloping wildly outside Langya Royal City.

Furthermore, to deliver the military intelligence at the fastest speed, this Xiongnu soldier had only rested for four hours in three days.

Finally, when Langya Royal City appeared before his eyes, this Xiongnu soldier could not hide his excitement.

He roared with the greatest volume he could muster in his life, "Report!"

"Urgent military intelligence!"

"Move aside immediately, those who block me die!"

The Prince of Langya's hand holding the dagger was just about to fall when he heard this voice.

His body suddenly stiffened.

What?

Urgent military intelligence?

Where did urgent military intelligence come from?

This Da Qian woman also suddenly stiffened, her heart full of expectation.

At this time.

This Xiongnu cavalryman quickly rushed into the royal tent, knelt on one knee, and said in a loud voice.

"Report!"

"Informing the Prince of Langya, urgent military intelligence!"

"Canglan Mountain Pass! The Da Qian Black Flag Army... has crossed the mountain again! I implore the Prince of Langya to quickly mobilize the Hexi elites to go and suppress them!"
