Chapter 110: Stay or flee?
Chapter 110: Stay or flee?
Once Bai Long decided to go back to the Zhu Kingdom's Capital City, he didn't waste too long enjoying the scenery on top of the mountain and rapidly descended it.
Ordering his two Yin Puppet Generals to allow the soldiers to rest for the day and continue marching towards the capital city tomorrow, Bai Long started running towards the capital city.
Going at a speed which was considerably fast, but not his best speed, Bai Long maintained the same speed since this allowed his body to recover which was expended by him, and therefore cut down on him having to rest and recover his Qi.
Due to this, other than spending the night to catch up on his well-needed sleep, Bai Long never once stopped and ran the whole time.
Therefore, Bai Long who left when the time was close to afternoon, arrived inside the capital city before noon.
The same as he saw through his ten Yin Puppets inside the capital city, Bai Long after entering the city saw chaos everywhere he looked at.
The people on the street were turning quite rowdy thinking about what would happen to the army that left the city. And what might happen if the army lost.
Regardless of whether it was their status which would be reduced, or if they would become prisoners to the Bai Kingdom, none of the individuals wanted that to happen.
Therefore, quite a lot were getting ready to leave the capital city and settle down in some other Kingdom.
Unfortunately, Zhu Zemin seemed to have expected this and gave down orders to lock down all exits and didn't allow anyone to leave the capital city.
Luckily they didn't stop anyone from entering the city, due to which Bai Long didn't have to sneak inside.
Paying attention to the situation inside the capital city for a while, Bai Long went to the room his Yin Puppets were in and started eating some food to satisfy his stomach which had been empty for a whole day.
As for making a move on Zhu Zemin, Bai Long wasn't in any kind of a hurry.
After all, he had already sent specific orders to Wenling and told her to inform him when any of the scenarios he told her to pay attention to happened.
...
Following Bai Long's orders, his Yin Puppets Sun Hai and Cao Hai after clearing up the battlefield marched towards the Zhu Kingdom's capital city.
However, they surprisingly didn't get too close to it or try to enter it.
They stayed quite a distance away from it and waited until Bai Long sent further orders.
None of the soldiers thought too much of this and patiently waited since they were very close to winning the war and conquering the Zhu Kingdom.
But the same couldn't be said about the situation inside the entire Zhu Kingdom.
It was no longer just the capital city which was in a state of suppressed chaos, but the entire Kingdom was now on the brink of collapse.
More than five days had passed since the army left the capital city, and there wasn't any news of what happened.
Did they win?
Did they lose?
Were they even fucking alive?
With such thoughts, the entire Kingdom was being plunged into more nervousness by the day, and this nervousness even started appearing on the face of Zhu Zemin.
After listening to his generals, Zhu Zemin thought that the war would really be won by their Kingdom.
However, with no information on what was happening for so long, Zhu Zemin no longer had the same confidence on his face.
Along with every passing hour that there was no information about what happened to his generals and army, Zhu Zemin who had sent more than a hundred soldiers to find out about what was happening felt more pressured than ever before in his entire life.
As for those hundred soldiers, they were obviously all taken care of by the huge army which was lying in wait for them.
By now Zhu Zemin understood that something had gone wrong. And that too very badly.
Therefore, he now had two options. One, expect that something bad happened and escape before the enemy arrives.
Or two, hope that everything was fine and what was happening right now was a simple hiccup and stay.
If he chose the first option and his army had won, no amount of regret would allow Zhu Zemin to change what he decided in a moment of fear.
But, if he chose the second option and stayed, and what was happening wasn't just a simple hiccup, Zhu Zemin wouldn't even be alive to regret his decision.
What to do...
Thinking over the same choice, again and again, Zhu Zemin felt like none of this shit would've happened if he had just come to a compromise with the one who visited him.
So what if he had to submit? All he needed was that treasure.
Treasure..!
Hastily getting up Zhu Zemin finally decided that it was better to be safe rather than sorry.
After all, even if he escaped right now and his army had won, it wouldn't be too late or much problematic for Zhu Zemin to come back and take control over the throne.
Having decided what to do, Zemin quickly left the throne room and started proceeding in a certain direction, but failed to notice that someone had seen him hastily leave the room.
...
"You've finally made a decision, you indecisive fat king. Thank god you did it before I was forced to launch a full-scale attack."
Sending his Yin Puppets ahead, Bai Long began making the hand signs for the Clones of Darkness.
With the increase in cultivation, Bai Long was no longer limited to being able to create a single clone. He could now create a total of ten Clones of Darkness.
Once his shadow split into ten pieces and moved in the same direction as the Yin Puppets, Bai Long muttered, "It's showtime."
