Chapter 1009: Chapter 232: The City Falls, Advance!

Bang—

Subutai threw a shriveled corpse in front of the Shaman Priest, who was leaning on an eagle-headed scepter, wearing a nine-feathered hat, and had a sheepskin drum hanging from his neck: "Wusun Shaman, I’ve brought back what you asked for."

Wusun Shaman complained with some dissatisfaction: "Be careful, this is precious ritual material, you can’t exchange it for its weight in gold, how can you treat it like this?"

Subutai puzzled: "This old thing is already close to the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, the corpse can’t just break from a fall."

"The paths monks take are varied and strange, these Fire Worship monks seek a path of transcendence of the soul, similar to Esoteric Monks, they do not cultivate the physical body..."

Wusun Shaman realized that Subutai looked confused halfway and retorted angrily: "I told you, you wouldn’t understand, yet you insisted on asking?"

The owner of this corpse was a caster who was just a step away from entering the Legendary Tier.

He was also the Jurisprudence Leader of the Isfahan region, the most respected elder figure.

Among the monks of the Fire Worship, those who know a bit of magic are not few, but they have never passed it down systematically.

This advanced caster from Isfahan was already considered one of the strongest casters among the Fire Worship clergy, even Bahram, the King of Kings of Sassan, had to pay homage to him during his annual visit to Isfahan.

Faced with Wusun Shaman, even someone like Subutai, a Tatar general who is usually unsympathetic, could only muster a slight smile: "I’m a rough person, only capable of fighting battles, no comparison to someone like you who can communicate with Longevity Heaven."

"Hmph."

The Great Shaman snorted from his nostrils, instructed several little shamans behind him to carefully collect the corpse on the ground, and then walked away.

"Subutai, don’t mind, Wusun Shaman is just that kind of person."

Seeing Jebe frown and approach, Subutai grinned and said: "Why would I mind such a small matter, if it weren’t for Wusun Shaman’s assistance earlier, my men and I would have been turned to ash by the Sassanids."

"I knew your mind is as vast as the sea."

Jebe chuckled, then said seriously: "Next, we need to hurry. A Sassan noble who surrendered from Isfahan told me that the Fulin are already advancing swiftly toward the western territory of the Sassanids, and they are just as fast as we are. Reportedly, they’ve already approached the Sassanids’ capital within these few days."

Subutai couldn’t help but be surprised for a moment: "The Fulin’s actions are so fast? Could it be that we’ve drawn away the Sassanids’ main forces, leaving their rear unguarded, allowing the Fulin to pluck fruit?"

Previously, he didn’t think the Sassanids were formidable in battle.

In the battle of Khwarezm, even the Undead Army, which the Sassanids took pride in, seemed far inferior to the Iron Pagoda of the Jin Kingdom in Subutai’s eyes. However, in this siege of Isfahan, the Sassanids’ desperate resistance left a lasting impression on Subutai.

If it weren’t for Wusun Shaman’s aid, he and his forces might have been completely wiped out.

"Perhaps, but regardless, we must pick up the pace."

"Jebe Nayan, the more impatient the wolf, the less likely it is to catch the sheep."

Subutai said in a deep voice: "The speed of the Fulin might be swift, but the Sassanids’ cities are sturdy. Isfahan is only the third largest city of Sassan, and it was difficult to break through. Tarsus and Baghdad will be even harder to conquer."

"I understand."

Jebe nodded slightly: "I was just a bit impatient."

At this moment, the Tatar soldiers who invaded Isfahan had already cleared the city’s resistance. They pushed and shoved the officials and soldiers captured from Isfahan, herding them to an open space with bows and blades.

Thousands of Sassanids were surrounded by Tatar Cavalry.

Seemingly anticipating their fate, a dense sound of chanting arose among the crowd.

As the center of the Fire Worship on the Persian Plateau, Isfahan had a very strong religious atmosphere, with most believers able to recite one or two substantial sections of scripture. When they chanted at this moment, it was quite imposing.

"Please don’t kill me, I advocated for surrender, I beg you to spare me, I can guide your Great Khan!"

Someone kept crying, their body collapsing like a rag.

"Brothers, don’t be afraid, don’t be lost. When we die, the sacred fire will send us to the Celestial Kingdom, while these non-believing savages will fall into the Fire Prison after death, never to be liberated!"

Someone raised their head angrily, glaring at the enemy.

Others shouted for their wives and daughters witnessing the execution not to watch any longer.

All of humanity’s various manifestations were fully revealed at the last moment of life.

The Tatars showed no mercy; in other words, they were very principled. Since it was said that resistors would be slaughtered, there was absolutely no chance of exemption.

These thousands of...

Sassanid troops, under the command of General Ali, were advancing in mighty formation towards Hades.

Jeanne said with a mysterious expression: "I was planning to find them, but unexpectedly, they delivered themselves to us."

"They want to sever one of our arms before the main force arrives."
