Chapter 119: Troops Gathered Outside the City Walls

  At the sound of the swift horse's report, Jack was startled and asked hastily: "Speak clearly, what's going on?"

  Those two fast horses had already run to the front of Jack, and the man on horseback dismounted and knelt down. One of them said: "Report to General Commander, not long after you set out, scouts from Sunflower City brought news that the 80,000 Leopard Army is marching towards Chrysanthemum City! Not long after the news arrived, scouts from the east gate 100 miles away came again to report that the 80,000 Leopard Army has approached Chrysanthemum City!"

  Jack clenched his fist after hearing that!

  When he set out to find Li Xie, he was worried that it was the Sunflower City's Cheetah Legion that was behind it. After the chrysanthemum city barracks were burned down, the other side of Sunflower City had been too quiet, and the unusual calmness made Jack feel uneasy early on.

  Because Jack understood the crisis in Chrysanthemum City better than Li Xie.

  Li Xie thought he had a grudge against the Pansens and the Right Minister, and they all hated each other. But Jack saw more clearly that the Pansens wanted to get rid of Li Xie even more.

  Li Xie occupies the Chrysanthemum City, which is a thorn in the heart of the Pan Sen family. Once Li Xie's army takes shape, the 100,000 leopard troops of Sunflower City will be in danger. And once Li Xie is eliminated, the Pan Sen family can reconnect with the southern cities of the Doudun Dynasty as before, greatly increasing their threat to the imperial capital of Doudun and also increasing the chips in the hands of the Pan Sen family. Even if there is a change, owning this area in the south of the Doudun Dynasty, the Pan Sen family can even establish itself as a king.

  Li Xie was ambushed, Jack had thought that if it was the plot of the Cheetah Army, then they would very likely send a large army to force their way into Chrysanthemum City.

  Once they can confirm Li Xie's death, they can attack Chrysanthemum City under various pretexts.

  It has finally come true, which makes Jack somewhat at a loss!

  On one hand, his primary responsibility is to find Li Xie. On the other hand, Chrysanthemum City has Jack's younger sister Xiao An.

  Neither side is willing to lose, Jack.

  But Jack was clear that the 80,000-strong Leopard Army was attacking Chrysanthemum City. Even if Chrysanthemum City had 80,000 evil troops defending it, the evil troops were newly established and their strength was not as good as the Leopard Army. What's more urgent was that the evil army temporarily didn't have a general who could truly assist Jack in commanding. Without a leader, even with many soldiers, they would collapse at one blow. Moreover, the evil army couldn't be called a dragon for the time being.

  The 80,000-strong Cheetah Army will attack Chrysanthemum City. Without Jack's defense, it won't take two hours for the entire city to fall.

  "Commander, there's something else!" The messenger added: "The lord's warhorse has already returned to the city!"

  "Where's the adult?"

  "Reporting back to the commander-in-chief, the lord of the evil city did not return with the war horse. However, there was a note in the war horse's mouth that read 'Li Xie is safe'."

  "Blast it! Why didn't you say so earlier!" Jack cursed, this damned little soldier had worried him for so long. After cursing, Jack furrowed his brow: "Is the general unharmed? Then why didn't he return to the city with Zi Xuan? Is it a trap?"

  Zaynab asked beside him, "Can you see the grown-up's pet cat?"

  "Reporting back to Lord Hui Ze En, we didn't see him, but only the war horse of the Evil City Master."

  Zayn nodded with a smile: "Jack, don't worry, the adults will be fine."

  Jack was puzzled: "Are you sure?"

  Zain nodded: "When the adults flew away, let Meow sister take Zi Xuan to escape. Zi Xuan can return to the city, and it should be Meow sister's order that he will return to Chrysanthemum City. And the note in his mouth is not written by the adult, it must be written by Meow sister. Since Meow sister didn't follow Zi Xuan, she should be with the adult, it seems that the adult is safe and sound, it's Meow sister who took action."

  "What's with the cat?"

  "Don't underestimate her, she's mysterious, even I can't see through her! And don't go underestimating her strength either, if she makes a move, adults will definitely be no match for her!" Zaynarde recalled the time when he was capturing the demon beast, and Xiao Miao called him to hit Li Xie, and had long recognized that Xiao Miao was not simple!

  Jack shook his head, and at this moment, he suddenly felt that Li Xie was extremely mysterious.

  A heart-piercing blow can be survived, and the body can help a demon beast advance in rank. The follower by his side is actually the 9th-tier giant dragon Zaynarde! And that ominous creature, even Zaynarde says he can't see through it!

  What kind of person is he?

  Jack's gaze turned sharp, and he shouted loudly: "Since it's confirmed that the lord is fine, we must resolve the crisis in Chrysanthemum City! Evil One Army, listen to my orders, behead all enemies on the ground and bring their heads back, then return to the city at top speed!"

  Having confirmed Li Xie's safety, Jack now needs to resolve the crisis in Chrysanthemum City.

  Xia Yi Jun followed Jack's orders and beheaded the corpses on the ground one by one, then continued to sprint at full speed.

  Chrysanthemum City East Gate.

  The 80,000-strong Cheetah Legion Army is approaching the city!

  The youngest son of the Marquis Pansy, Larry Pansy, was in the front row, but he was not the leader. The two leaders looked similar to the Marquis Pansy, one of whom had only one eye.

  These two men were the younger brothers of Marquess Panseng, with the one-eyed man being Dis Panseng, second in line; and the other named Longdes Panseng, fourth in line.

  Two men rode fine horses at the forefront of the great army, while the 80,000-strong Cheetah Cavalry was fully equipped with weapons and even brought siege engines. It seemed that this time, taking down Chrysanthemum City was a must.

  The city of Chrysanthemum is now filled with anxious hearts.

  The common people did not understand why the imperial army looked like they were going to attack their own city; and the rebel army, without Jack in command, couldn't help but feel uneasy.

  They haven't gone through much bloodshed and baptism by fire, so they have an innate fear of the real battlefield. These aren't things that can be eliminated by simple training, unless they've fought in a bloody battle before.

  Now, in their first battle, they would face a regular army that was even stronger and better equipped than they were.

  They are all worried that they can only see the scorching sun at noon and will never have the chance to see the sunset glow again.

  It's okay, the Cheetah Legion stopped three miles outside the east gate of Chrysanthemum City, and Jack, the mainstay of the evil army of Chrysanthemum City, finally returned with 200,000 evil troops.

  Jack Ma rushed to the east gate of Chrysanthemum City and stepped onto the city wall, facing the 80,000-strong Leopard Army.

  "What do you mean?" Jack on the city wall, next to him was a proud golden-plumed war rooster, beside him was Vandy Sell with an angry face, and Zaynnaid with an icy face.

  Dui Yan's Des Pansong rode forward on horseback, shouting loudly: "We have received accurate information that the evil Duke was killed by bandits, and you are the masterminds behind the scenes, now occupying Chrysanthemum City with the intention of rebelling! My Leopard Army is a regular army of the dynasty, with the responsibility and obligation to quell the rebellion for the dynasty. Are you going to open the city and surrender, or do I have my Leopard Army attack the city and execute you on the spot?"

  "What's wrong with you!" Vandy Sell was furious: "You ambushed our lord and still dare to bite back!"

  "Vandy, don't be impatient." Jack smiled lightly, his voice spreading like thunder: "I wonder where Deputy Commander Dis got the exact news from? And how did he know that our Evil City Lord was really killed by bandits?"

  "Hmph!" Dis Panson coldly shouted: "Mind your own business, if Duke Ye isn't killed by bandits, then ask him to come out and let us see."

  Lundes Panzen hastily said, "Second brother, why bother talking so much nonsense with him? Let's just take down Chrysanthemum City directly. Can their evil army really withstand our Leopard Army?"

  "Take down Chrysanthemum City? Haha...!" Jack burst into laughter, suddenly thrusting his long spear against the city wall and shouting: "Nine-tiered Golden Feather War Chicken, armor transform!"

  Next to the golden plume war rooster let out a cry, transformed into golden light and attached itself to Jack's body. In an instant, Jack had on a suit of golden armor, which complemented his tall stature perfectly, making him look majestic and awe-inspiring!

  "Come on! Without any reason, you dare to attack Chrysanthemum City! Either you kill us all or I, Jack, swear to wipe out the entire Panson family!"

  "Kill!" Vandy Sael let out a furious roar, his body bursting with energy, instantly radiating golden light, and rising killing intent.

  "Kill!" The 100,000-strong evil army in the city responded with a distant call, shouting to kill and shaking the sky!

  Now they are facing a regular army with a commander, and the number of people is not less than that of the evil army. Would they be frightened by these few shouts?

  However, both Dais and Lund were somewhat shocked!

  Jack Rothschild is actually a 9th-level summoner!

  The strength of a 9th-tier summoner is still above that of a 10th-tier sword saint, and regardless of strength, their status cannot be mentioned in the same breath. In the cognition of the two brothers Pan Sen, there is only one 9th-tier summoner in the imperial court. If they can take him down, it would add another layer of consideration!

  Jack originally didn't want to expose his identity as a 9th-tier summoner, so he often kept Golden Winged War Chicken in the magical pet space, but now, he also had no choice but to reveal his true identity.

  In the face of the well-equipped and powerful 80,000-strong Leopard Army, the Ninth-level Summoner was clearly not yet at the level of turning the tide. However, for a kingdom to have even one Ninth-level Summoner was enough to increase its deterrent power and raise its status! If the Pansens really wanted to attack Chrysanthemum City, they would have to consider whether Mercedes VII would be thoroughly enraged by their killing of a kingdom's Ninth-level Summoner.

  Another point, Jack showed his strength, and let the Panson family know that if they really attacked the city today, if they couldn't kill Jack, then the Panson family would have a deadly feud with a 9th-level summoner.

  "Halt!" Jack waved his hand for the evil army to stop shouting, and then shouted loudly: "Throw me the head!"

  Those evil soldiers who were already listed on the city wall received the order and threw the severed heads in the direction of the Cheetah Legion.

  Thousands of heads flew together, what a shocking scene!

  "Your so-called bandit ambush on our lord is true!" Jack said coldly. "However, our lord did not die, and the bandits have all been eliminated by us. These are their heads! The commander-in-chief thanks the Leopard Army for their concern for our lord and our Chrysanthemum City, but since the bandits have been eliminated, there is no need to trouble the Leopard Army, please return!"

  Watching thousands of human heads fall, Dais Panson was shocked and shouted: "Quickly, go take a look!"

  What kind of people are these so-called bandits? Dais Panson knew it all too well. If these men were really "bandits", they would be his men!

  A team of soldiers immediately ran out to check the human head, and after a glance, they reported back to Deiss Panson: "Deputy Army Commander, yes! It's bandits!"

  Di's Panson's pupils constricted, and Lund's Panson beside him was shocked and whispered: "Second brother, could it be that big brother..."
