Chapter 674: Jinling City

Not long after, the million-strong White Tiger Legion soldiers had all completed their realm-crossing.

Outside the vast Jinling City, the White Tiger Legion soldiers stood densely packed.

Even the two hundred thousand Japanese pirates who had originally been attacking Jinling City now seemed utterly insignificant before these million White Tiger Legion soldiers.

"I didn't expect we'd descend directly onto a battlefield. It looks like the soldiers in this city are in a bad way!"

After his vast divine sense took in the situation in Jinling City, Zhao Yun frowned and spoke.

In his divine sense's perception, the people in this city all seemed to be Huaxia commoners.

Immediately after, Zhao Yun looked toward the direction of the Japanese army.

"How dare they! Insignificant foreign tribes, daring to invade our Huaxia lands and slaughter our Huaxia commoners like this — they truly have some nerve!"

Upon seeing that it was foreign tribes ravaging Huaxia lands, Zhao Yun was instantly enraged.

One must know that among the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, there are many Huaxia commoners, Yan Huang Descendants, and these people share the same roots and origins as the people of the Han Dynasty.

Seeing that there were people of foreign tribes who dared to slaughter Huaxia commoners on Huaxia soil — how could Zhao Yun not be furious?

"White Tiger Legion soldiers, hear my command — leave not a single one of these foreign tribes alive!"

Furious, Zhao Yun roared at the million White Tiger Legion soldiers.

"Kill—!"

"Roar—!"

The White Tiger Legion soldiers, already burning with rage, summoned their mounts, the White Tigers, and charged toward the Japanese army in the rear.

As the divine beasts White Tigers appeared, tiger roars echoed across the entire battlefield.

"Baka! These ancient soldiers dare to attack the Imperial Army of Great Japan — kill them all!"

"Charge! Kill them all!"

Japanese Division Commander Sato Jianren, seeing Zhao Yun and the others actually dare to launch an attack against them, was instantly furious.

"Rat-a-tat-tat—!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom—!"

Following Sato Jianren's military order, the Japanese soldiers' rifles and cannons all fired at the charging White Tiger Legion soldiers.

"White Tiger Legion, defend!"

Seeing the Japanese army's gunfire and cannon attack, Zhao Yun gave a great shout, and a protective qi barrier condensed around his body.

The charging White Tiger Legion soldiers, hearing Zhao Yun's command, communicated through their hearts with their White Tiger divine beast mounts, and protective qi barriers condensed around their bodies one after another.

"Clang! Clang! Clang—!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom—!"

The Japanese army's bullets, the instant they struck the protective qi barrier, were deflected away.

As for the cannonballs, they were intercepted mid-air by the White Tiger Legion soldiers.

One must know that although the White Tiger Legion soldiers had never seen cannonballs like these, they did have Spirit Stone Cannons.

These cannonballs looked not much different from Spirit Stone Cannonballs, so naturally they treated them with full seriousness.

"Baka! This is impossible — how could such enemies exist!"

Seeing this scene, Sato Jianren, Ida Taro, and the others wore expressions of utter disbelief.

How could there possibly be people in this world who could intercept cannonballs with their own bodies?

Moreover, that layer of light shield around them could even deflect bullets — this was truly too incredible.

"Mr. Sato, these people are too bizarre — even cannonballs and bullets are useless against them. We'd better retreat first, and deal with them after we've figured out their background!"

Ida Taro, seeing this scene, hurriedly said to Sato Jianren.

At this moment, Sato Jianren had also begun to entertain the thought of retreat. Hearing Ida Taro's words, he immediately found an excuse to withdraw and hurriedly said to him:

"Mr. Ida speaks wisely — begin the retreat!"

Ida Taro, hearing Sato Jianren's words, immediately shouted to the Japanese soldiers:

"Retreat! Retreat at once!"

The Japanese soldiers, hearing the words of both Ida Taro and Sato Jianren, immediately began gathering their equipment and preparing to retreat.

However, their desire to retreat at this point had come far too late.

With the White Tiger Legion soldiers all possessing strength above Xiantian Six Heavens, the distance between the two sides was closed in the blink of an eye.

"Kill—!"

Facing the foreign tribes, the White Tiger Legion soldiers swung their blades down upon them without mercy.

Facing the immensely powerful White Tiger Legion soldiers, the Japanese army was instantly slaughtered by more than half.

The remaining soldiers all fled, crying out for their fathers and mothers.

"Demons! These people are all demons!"

Seeing this scene, Sato Jianren and Ida Taro were filled with terror, and ran frantically toward the rear.

But this scene shocked Yang Shouyi and the others in Jinling City no small amount.

"Heavenly Soldiers and Generals! These are truly Heavenly Soldiers and Generals!"

"These ancient soldiers aren't even afraid of cannons and bullets — the Japanese soldiers are nearly wiped out by them!"

"Hahaha, satisfying! Let them dare to invade our Huaxia — this is their retribution!"

"Hahaha, brothers, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals of our Huaxia have avenged you — you may rest in peace now!"

Watching the Japanese army fall one after another at the hands of the White Tiger Legion soldiers, everyone felt immensely gratified.

Half an hour later, the two hundred thousand-strong Japanese army had been completely annihilated by the White Tiger Legion soldiers.

When Zhao Yun led the White Tiger Legion to the foot of Jinling City, Yang Shouyi immediately opened the city gate.

"I am Yang Shouyi, Garrison Commander of Jinling City. May I ask, General, are you Heavenly Soldiers and Generals?"

Yang Shouyi looked at Zhao Yun riding Bai Hu and said to him excitedly.

Zhao Yun looked at the blood-soaked Yang Shouyi before him, could not help but nod at him, then said with a smile:

"This general, I am no Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. I am Zhao Yun, Commander of the White Tiger Legion of the Han Empire, and these are all soldiers of my White Tiger Legion of the Han Empire."

Meanwhile, half a horse-length behind Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Cao Hong, Xu Huang, and Zhang Tou also cupped their fists toward Yang Shouyi and said with a smile:

"We, Wei Yan, Cao Hong, Xu Huang, and Zhang Tou, pay our respects to General Yang!"

In their eyes, although Yang Shouyi's strength was not as great as theirs, the spirit upon him — that oath to die without fear, that loyalty to the Foreign Tribes' foe of rather dying to defend home and country — had earned their admiration.

And Yang Shouyi, upon hearing the names of Zhao Yun and the others, instantly widened his eyes and cried out in shock:

"Zhao Yun! Wei Yan…"

"Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong — one of the Five Tiger Generals of Shu-Han during the Three Kingdoms Period!"

Hearing Yang Shouyi's words, Zhao Yun smiled and shook his head. It seemed that in this world too, there was the same period.

Only, the present him was the Commander of the White Tiger Legion, one of the Five Divine Beast Legions of the Han Empire, and not some Shu-Han Five Tiger General.

"The Zhao Yun you speak of is not the same person as I — perhaps merely a case of sharing the same name!"

"General Yang, you should still let my White Tiger Legion enter the city first!"
