I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1808: 24.69 Sixth Violet Star - Spies

Mu Yao was talking nonstop and he poured all his feelings and hidden regrets, guilt and pain in his heart. While the old marshal kept quiet the whole time, no one knows how he feels at this moment.

The Mu Patriarch, Mu Yao said, ”It’s already enough to see the Old Marshal. Please be careful out there, Sir!”

The old marshal walks away without even looking back as if he never had any intention to give the man any chances. Even the Mu Patriarch believes that this might be the last time he can meet the old marshal and feels even more remorse in his heart. Who would have thought that by the door, the old marshal abruptly stopped. Even though he didn’t turn around to look at this former subordinate of his, his step had still halted at this moment.

Long Huang suddenly said before walking out of the door.

”Let’s talk again when I’ve returned.”

He didn’t wait for Mu Yao to answer and walked away and even though Mu Yao had raised his head and only saw his master’s fleeting back, his heart felt peaceful and excited at this moment. The old marshal had given him another chance.

After leaving the place of Mu Yao, the old marshal was welcomed by the soldiers who will be leaving this place with him and his two grandsons. Long Kian and Long Tian are there to send them off.

”Are all preparations done?” asked Long Huang.

Long Tian said, ”Everything is ready father.”

”I’ve also sent most of the things at the barracks near the boundaries of this city and the Barren Lands,” Long Kian said.

Long Huang asked, ”How about them?”

”The seniors said they will meet you at the Barren Lands and left ahead of time,” said Long Tian.

They are talking about the two ancient gods. The Ancient God of Chaos, Hunluan and the World Eater, An Shizhe.

The old marshal pats his sons’ shoulders and said, ”Good work. We will be back soon.”

After saying these words a group of people led by the old marshal had left the Marshal’s Palace and all headed to the barren lands. They had left in the middle of the night and only a few who had intentionally left some people to tail them had seen them leave.

In the middle of the night a few carriages were seen leaking from the Long Palace, and some spies all over the place had revealed themselves.

”That’s the two heirs of the Long Clan and another person covered from head to toe. Is that a bodyguard? I must report this!”

Before he can move out a soldier who was watching over him had stabbed his heard from behind and said,

”Spies as of this moment can only be killed! Marshal’s orders!”

Ugh!

The spy saw a man who used to be smiling and talking to him every day now looking at him coldly with an icy gaze. He knew that being a spy is not a good job but he couldn’t help it. At the last moment of his life he reached out his hand to this friend of his.

”Please... save...my family...Demon’s...Den... Pei...”

The man died in his friend’s arms. Even though the soldier had already expected this man as a friend it cannot be completely said that he didn’t feel anything for this person. Living in one place every day, eating together and training together. It would be hard to say that there wouldn’t be any brotherhood. Unfortunately, the Long Clan isn’t forgiving to any spies or traitors.

The soldier helped his friend close his eyes and said, ”Sleep well. When we raid the Pei Clan in the future I will try to find your family.”

Not far from them, floating in the sky Hunluan and An Shizhe are watching the whole scene. They only left the mansion ahead of time and watched the whole city from the highest point of the place. They had witnessed the clean up operation planned by Long Tian after the departure of his father and the two cubs.

The World Eater, An Shizhe asked, ”It is always good to have a bit of cruelty as the leader that rules its own race.”

”Indeed. If he is too kind like his father, this Long Clan would have long fallen,” the Ancient God of Chaos, Hunluan said.

The World Eater had looked through the whole human city and found a trace of something demonic and something familiar. It seems they had received a message from the God of Destruction saying something in the human city is making him feel a bit uncomfortable.

The Ancient God of Chaos, Hunluan asked his partner, ”Have you found it, A’Zhe?”

”Hm. There is indeed something evil yet not at the same time. However, Jing’er is right that it might be connected to our family. A lot of things were left behind after our deaths. Those fools might have used them for something. Anyway, we can just clean it up when they appear,” said the World Eater, An Shizhe as they disappeared together in thin air.

A lot of scenes were similar to this and most of them are spies from the Pei Clan. As for the other spies from the noble clans, these people tried to fight back and were killed in a worse way. In the morning, they were gathered and their heads were displayed in the main open field of the city to show how the traitors in the Long Clan were dealt with. The current marshal’s name had become even more feared due to this situation.

At the borders of the two lands...

Xie Yun, and most of his subordinates had come with him. But the second strongest after him, First, remains to protect the Killer Pavilion. He also left a backup in case First failed to protect their home while they were away. He was waiting for the Long Clan at the barracks which protects the borders from the beast clan.

A soldier comes reporting to Xie Yun who is overlooking the barren land just a step away from him. The clear line of fertile land and orange drying land can be seen at this border.

”Pavillion Master Xie, a news station from the main city said that the Old Marshal and the others are on their way here already. They should be coming over soon.”

”Thank you. I will wait for them outside,” Pavillion Master Xie said.

The soldier saluted him and returned to his post. There are soldiers patrolling the area. But due to the lack of beast eggs not all beastmasters in this area had signed a contract with a beast eggs. The old marshal planned to equip all permanent soldiers in this barrack with beast eggs when they came back. Because the commander of this barrack knew about the plans between the Long Clan and the Killer Pavilion that they are so welcoming of their presence.

Not long after, the group from the Long Clan had arrived. All the soldiers had gathered and fell in line. They are waiting for the old marshal and salute him as their former superior. As the old marshal and his two grandchildren arrived in the area, the soldiers all collectively saluted to the old marshal.

”Salutes to the Old Marshal Long!”

The old marshal, Long Huang, saluted them back and smiled. He pats the commanders shoulders as he is also among the common people who had reached to his current position thanks to the support of the old marshal. It can be said that he respects the old marshal with all his heart and he is also among the children that was helped by Long Huang but never betrayed him until the end.

”Thanks for your hard work everyone!” Long Huang said.

”Old sir, it’s good to see you be able to walk again! Congratulations!”

”Thank you! You have done so well and now a commander. Child, you’ve always worked the hardest among them.” Long Huang said. ”Don’t worry. I promise you. No matter how much beast eggs we are able to gather this time. I will definitely leave the most in your group.”

”Old sir. On behalf of all the soldiers under me, I give you our thanks for remembering us!”

”You are the forefront and the first line of defense of the human race. You have the hardest job and it is only right that you get the support that is meant for you. No need for thanks as this is our responsibility to you as your leader!”The old marshal said.

The commander, seeing the old marshal being able to walk on his own two feet, couldn’t help but shed a tear. They had all heard about the tragic ending their comrades and the old marshal had suffered from the ancient forest. Though they knew that the massacre was an attack of revenge against the human race for killing the beastmen cubs and eggs, most of those who died had nothing to do with that event at all. They only choose to fight to protect the other humans and die for it. For this reason alone they knew that revenge was not possible as they have no right for it.

Now hearing the promise of the old marshal, the commander and all soldiers in the barracks are all grateful to know that the old marshal they knew hasn’t changed at all. Though the current marshal is as friendly as the old marshal, everything that they are meant to receive as long as the Long Clan has it will be sent to them.

From food to weapons, armors to tents. It is just that beast eggs are simply too scarce that the ones that arrive to their place is only less than ten even so compared to the other barracks this is already the highest number of beast eggs they can receive ever since the scarcity of beast eggs had become a norm.

After a while the commander had accompanied the old marshal to meet Pavilion Master Xie and as planned they left with few more soldiers sent by the commander and these are soldiers who volunteered to help the group in their journey to the Barren Land.

”Time to leave. Let’s enter the Land of the barren!” Pavilion Master Xie said while leading the old marshal and his two grandchildren.
