Zhan Long

Chapter 1049- Growth

Fresh blood dyed the maple trees and caused the leaves that were already originally red to become even redder.

The horse hoof sounds were really rushed. A bunch of people was like injured deers in the forest as they tried to flee. Their armor was torn and tattered and many of them even lost an arm or were covered in arrows. The flags in their hands had disappeared and the only thing they could do now was to try to flee.

"Surround them!"

Han Yuan gave an order and the Royal Army troops started to gather. Very quickly, these 3000+ troops were surrounded in a shield formation. Even if they tried to break out, they couldn't so they just gave up on fighting. All of them were filled with despair. In the crowd, one person's eyes were filled with rage, "Kill us if you want, end us quick!"

Lin Qiong walked forwards with his sword and asked, "Who are you, you really are asking for death!"

This losing general had a Major's emblem on his shoulder and his face had several sword wounds. However, he was still arrogant, "I am Dragonling Army's Major Liu Jun, kill me if you want!"

"Liu Jun?"

I was shocked. I walked forwards and looked at him calmly, "Liu Jun, do you recognise me?"

Liu Jun was astonished, "Li… Commander in chief Li…"

Lin Qiong laughed, "Now he is not only the Commander in chief, but he is also the Marshal!"

Liu Jun knelt down and begged, "Marshal… Since I was once a Royal Army Lieutenant please let me live. I had no choice!"

Han Yuan raged, "You betrayed the general and led Luo Xun's army to attack the Royal Army. Did you have no choice?"

Autumn Leaf pulled out his blade, "There is nothing to say to such a traitor, let me end him with one sword!"

I shook my head, "Stop, don't kill him!"

Autumn Leaf was shocked, "General, why?"

I squinted my eyes and smiled, "I have my reasons."

I looked towards the army behind Liu Jun and said, "Liu Jun, you have gone through many battles and you are a rare general. As a soldier, you are not afraid of death. Since you were once loyal to the empire, I will let you off this once. I will also give you face and not kill the rest. Bring them back to Waterfront City!"

Liu Jun kowtowed, "Thank you Marshal Li, thank you Marshal Li…"

I looked at Tan Taiyu, "General Tan, gather the defeated troops and let Liu Jun bring them back. We have killed enough so we don't have to go overboard."

Tan Taiyu cupped his fists, "Yes, Marshal Li!"
