Chapter 3824: Truly Angry

Mengfei managed to protect herself, but the female soldiers on her team who caught up could not withstand such a dense barrage, and the entire squad was killed.

At this moment the other teams had already withdrawn, and no one could reinforce them. So both battlefields watched Mengfei use that protective light sphere to fend off the cave heaven Sixth Layer Martial Cultivator's attack.

At that moment Mengfei finally felt fear; she turned back to look at the comrades beside her, some Physical Bodies shattered by the blast, some shot into a sieve and fell behind her.

That Martial Cultivator kept attacking her protective light shield, and the shield likely could not hold much longer.

She instantly looked back in terror, pleading to Ye Liuyun for help. But Ye Liuyun didn't even bother to glance at her; not even the Magic Vine was revealed, and no one came to rescue her.

Everyone could see that Ye Liuyun was angry. Without his order, no one dared to rescue Mengfei. Mengfei also realized she had messed up again, so she didn't even have the nerve to ask Ye Liuyun for help.

At that moment, a "Boom—" exploded, tearing a huge opening in the city gate. Zhan Kong and the painter breached the city successfully.

"Attack!"

Ye Tiandao swung his blade, and the army finally surged forward, effectively breaking the siege around Mengfei.

The Martial Cultivator that attacked Mengfei reluctantly retreated. If it had lingered longer, Mengfei's protective light shield would have been blasted apart.

However, the enemy now launched a massive assault, and a Kuailei appeared on this side; it dared not stay in the fight and could only fall back. Mengfei thus escaped the disaster.

Yet she stood there dazed, even forgetting to deactivate the protective shield. She stared at the corpses of her comrades, not knowing what to do.

Though they had only just met, some had helped her break the encirclement in battle. Moreover, these people died because of her greed and recklessness, and she felt deep self‑blame.

"Yueying, send that foolish woman and that dragon to collect and bury the bodies of the comrades they killed, then have those few strip off their armor for punishment, and then make them scram!"

Ye Liuyun coldly ordered Yueying, then charged into the city with the main force, paying no attention to any of them.

"Liuyun..." Lan Ruo Bing used Transmission Voice, trying to say a few kind words to Mengfei.

But Ye Liuyun wouldn't let her speak, merely coldly instructed her: "From now on you need not stay with the Meng family; assign a Leader to coordinate those five hundred thousand soldiers. Also, remember to claim compensation from the Meng family for those dead soldiers."

After speaking, Ye Liuyun didn't wait for a reply and left immediately.

Lan Ruo Bing knew Ye Liuyun was truly angry.

A large number of female soldiers fell; Ye Liuyun already felt sorry for them, so he intended to lead them to a few victories and secure more resources, but unexpectedly ran into those two disobedient guys, causing many female soldiers to die in vain.

Under these circumstances, Ye Liuyun's outburst was normal, and not punishing them would make it hard to answer the female soldiers.

Ye Liuyun was indeed fuming now. He had recruited these people, so he bore responsibility.

So he vented all his fury onto the enemy.

"Kill, leave none!"

Moreover, he led from the front, brandishing his blade at the forefront.

The women and Monster Beasts also knew Ye Liuyun was truly angry, so no one dared to err; they obediently followed the main force into battle, preferring fewer fights rather than further aggravating Ye Liuyun now.

Outside the city gate, Yueying left behind a squad of soldiers and a Kuailei.

She first led people toward Mengfei. Mengfei had already been collecting the bodies of those female soldiers.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!" Mengfei, tears streaming, apologized to Yueying.

"Tell them! The Leader has ordered that you collect and bury their bodies, then they must accept punishment, be expelled from the army, and surrender their armor."

Yueying, though she also knew Mengfei hadn't acted deliberately, these female soldiers were sisters who had left the tribe with her, and her affection for those soldiers...

... was far deeper than Mengfei's.

So at this moment she forced herself to endure the sorrow, and after announcing it she left, fearing she might not be able to hold back...

On the other side, Wàn Xīnghǎi had now taken human form, and Jīn Biāo and Xiao Qing gave him the Healing Elixir. The Clone Puppet's slash was held back; otherwise that slash could have directly...

Xiao Qing and Jīn Biāo stood dejectedly guarding him, never expecting that their first battle would...

Yueying likewise came over, issued a command, then led the soldiers to keep a certain distance from them and began clearing the battlefield.

After Wàn Xīnghǎi recovered from his injuries, Xiao Qing and Jīn Biāo relayed Ye Liuyun's order to him.

Wàn Xīnghǎi, still a bit resentful, shouted at Yueying: "We've already been sentenced to punishment, why are we still being expelled from the army?"

"These are military regulations; if you disagree you can speak to the Leader. We expel you because, for the army, those who think only of themselves can sometimes be more frightening than the enemy."

Yueying paused, pointed at the broken corpses on the ground, and said to Wàn Xīnghǎi, "You are the example!"

"I... I just lost control for a moment..." Though Wàn Xīnghǎi regretted it inside, he still protested outwardly.

Suddenly, another blade flash appeared in the sky, heading straight toward it...

With a "Pop" sound, the blade struck Wàn Xīnghǎi's face. Though the cut was shallow and not fatal, it turned his face into a huge flower‑like mask.

Crucially, the slash carried corrosive venom, causing Wàn Xīnghǎi to writhe in pain on the ground.

Then a cold shout from the sky came from Ye Liuyun: "Collect the bodies of the soldiers you caused to die. Then strip off your armor and scram. Keep the scar on your face; otherwise, for every soldier you killed today, let your Clan Chief bring that many dragons to atone with their lives!"

Hearing this icy warning, Wàn Xīnghǎi trembled all over.

He also realized Ye Liuyun was truly angry, and since the matter involved the Dragon Clan, he dared not be defiant any longer!

"Yes, I will obey the Elder's command!" He endured the searing pain, bowed respectfully, then went to tend the female soldiers.

While collecting the bodies, he also apologized to them.

"I'm sorry, I caused your deaths! I'm sorry..."

It was Wàn Xīnghǎi's first time collecting bodies for others, his first close encounter with such wreckage. Seeing the gruesome deaths of those female soldiers, he truly realized he was the one who caused their deaths.

Xiao Qing and Jīn Biāo assisted nearby, watching the scene before them with...

Mengfei likewise, only by close‑up exposure to the battlefield's horrors did she truly grasp the cruelty of war.

The shouts of killing inside the city kept echoing; on a battlefield where one either kills or is killed, Ye Liuyun felt he was merely a pawn.

The battle finally drew to a close, the sunset blood‑red, and Ye Liuyun led the black‑armored female soldiers out of the city.

Wàn Xīnghǎi, Xiao Qing, Jīn Biāo, and Mengfei had already shed their armor, standing respectfully aside, their previous arrogance and coquettishness completely gone.
