Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 538: Chapter 225: The Traitor of the Clan, King of Yan! Zhao Feng Hates Traitors Most! Orders No Survivors! (Part 2)

The ministers scolded angrily one by one.

At this moment, they were truly enraged.

For people of this era, betrayal of one’s own was a very serious offense.

Even in death, they were unwilling to bear such a notorious name.

Facing the angry scolding echoing throughout the court.

The King of Yan was thoroughly infuriated, waved his hand, and shouted coldly: “Rebellion, rebellion.”

“Since you seek death, I will fulfill your wish.”

“Take all these rebellious ministers who dare to offend me and execute them.”

This word “execute.”

Enveloped the entire court in a chill.

But even so.

None of the ministers who condemned the King of Yan flinched.

A large number of Imperial Guard Army rushed into the hall, seeing dozens of ministers inside the hall angrily condemning the King of Yan.

They were stunned too.

“The King of Yan is unrighteous, unworthy to be king.”

“Even in death, we refuse to be traitors to our kin.”

“Though we die, Ji Xi, for committing such a treacherous act, Qin will definitely tear you apart.”

“We are but preceding you, yet you as an ignorant king will bear a notorious name throughout history. Though we die, we can still preserve our reputation.”

…

Not a single minister feared death in the slightest.

Just like fearless historians, unafraid Imperial Censors.

Witnessing this scene.

Hundreds of Imperial Guards who rushed into the hall didn’t know how to handle it; they looked but hesitated to act.

Clearly.

They too had heard the deliberations of the court.

Their Great King had colluded with Foreign Tribes.

Withdrew the Frontier Army, wouldn’t that leave the Northern Frontier trampled by Foreign Tribes?

Upon thinking of this.

These Imperial Guards were also flesh and blood, and this aroused an unspoken anger in their hearts.

But facing royal authority, they dared not act excessively.

“What are you standing there still for?”

“Arrest these rebellious ministers!”

Seeing the unmoving Imperial Guards, the King of Yan frowned and angrily reprimanded them once more.

Just when the many Imperial Guards were reluctant but had to obey the royal decree.

“Report.”

“The Qin Army vanguard is already at the gates of our capital.”

“Appears poised to attack.”

A city-guarding officer rushed in briskly.

“Wasn’t it still twenty miles away? How is it so fast?” The King of Yan’s face changed dramatically.

Facing his own subjects, he could still rely on royal authority, but against Qin, he had no means, as Zhao Feng leading the troops came to destroy his so-called royal authority.

Outside Ji City.

Nearly a hundred thousand cavalry were already at the gates.

Under Zhao Feng’s command.

The cavalry arrived at Ji City in half the expected time.

“Three months, at Ji City.”

“Tomorrow, breach this city, capture the King of Yan.”

“The King of Yan can perish here.”

Looking at the city before him, Zhao Feng smiled.

“Senior General.”

“Now that our army has arrived, should we release a volley of arrows to intimidate the Yan Army?” Zhang Han suggested.

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment.

Just as he was about to agree.

“Report.”

“A secret report just arrived.”

A trusted aide rode up swiftly, holding a secret report in hand.

Zhao Feng took it and upon seeing its contents.

His face instantly turned livid.

“Damn it.”

“King of Yan Ji Xi, truly damnable.” Zhao Feng’s face showed unprecedented fury.

Zhang Han and the surrounding generals all had changes in their expressions.

They had never seen their own Senior General so furious before.

“Senior General, what happened?” Zhang Han cautiously asked.

Zhao Feng didn’t speak, simply handed the secret report to Zhang Han.

Zhang Han took it and upon reading, suddenly, Zhang Han’s face also turned livid.

“Outrageous.”

“How does he deserve to be king?”

“To actually dare collude with Foreign Tribes.”

“No wonder he retracted the Frontier Army guarding the Northern Frontier into Ji City, it was to allow Foreign Tribes to advance south.”

“Contemptible.” Zhang Han immediately cursed.

“What?”

“This King of Yan colluded with Foreign Tribes?”

“What audacity?”

“This traitorous beast, such a wretch dares to be king.”

“Senior General, give the order, we breach Ji City today.”

“When Foreign Tribes invade, all of Huaxia resists, this has been the rule since ancient times.”

“Now that Foreign Tribes advance south, there will undoubtedly be endless slaughter in Yan’s Northern Frontier, we cannot sit by idly.”

…

One by one, the generals eagerly requested to fight.

Each one with a face of indignation.

Though the Foreign Tribes’ southward invasion would slay the people of Yan, the generals had already regarded the people of Yan as Qin’s citizens.

The Foreign Tribes heading south would result in a scene of purgatory on earth.

Every general understood this.

And the King of Yan’s withdrawal of the Frontier Army, upon discovery by the Foreign Tribes, would surely lead them south, but the direct collusion with Foreign Tribes perhaps no one could have anticipated.

After breaching Yuyang, in just two months they reached Ji City, clearly indicating Zhao Feng’s rapid advance, the siege and assault along the way.

The aim was to quickly stabilize Yan, then fortify Yan’s Northern Frontier defenses, leaving no opportunity for Foreign Tribes.

But now it seemed it was still too late.

“Originally, I thought the King of Yan withdrew the Frontier Army for the sake of national defense, leaving room for redemption.”

“But he dared to collude with Foreign Tribes.”

“He has chosen the path of death.”

Zhao Feng said coldly, raising his head to look towards Ji City, an overwhelming killing intent already surging.

The uncivilized Foreign Tribes of this era, no matter how Zhao Feng hasn’t seen with his own eyes, but with the memory of his past life, Zhao Feng knew very well, the Foreign Tribes of this era were like beasts, no, more brutal and violent than beasts.

They would absolutely commit rape, plundering, and city slaughter.

The aftermath of Foreign Tribes’ passage would be an inferno on earth.

“Please order us, Senior General.”

Zhang Han bowed immediately.

“Please order us, Senior General.”

Many generals bowed to Zhao Feng.

“Wait.”

“Those guarding the city are the Frontier Army stationed in Yan’s Northern Frontier, I don’t believe they lack a conscience.”
