You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 590 - 268: What’s So Bad About Being Sword Monarch’s Dog?

Chapter 590: Chapter 268: What’s So Bad About Being Sword Monarch’s Dog?

Riding on horseback, Mo Rigen held the reins with palms that had already turned icy cold.

Watching the Divine Martial Army’s soldiers ruthlessly slaughtering the Celestial Wolf Race’s warriors on the battlefield, that kind of overwhelming power made Mo Rigen fall into utter despair.

The cavalry charge tactics, which the Celestial Wolf Race prided themselves on, seemed so insignificant and laughable in the face of such inhuman strength.

The robust soldiers, with a mere swing of the sword, could cleave the Celestial Wolf Race’s cavalry, both horse and rider, in two. They moved with astonishing speed, outpacing even warhorses despite wearing heavy armor, and their mere collision could overturn the battle formations of the Celestial Wolf Race, making man and horse topple.

Yet what was most terrifying was the commander of the Divine Martial Army, that peerless warrior known as the ’Sword Monarch.’

The tales of the Battle of Anle had reached Mo Rigen’s ears, but he never believed them. After all, the legends were too exaggerated — a single rider defeating a thousand, taking the head of the enemy general amidst thousands of troops, was only good for storytelling, wasn’t it?

It wasn’t until Mo Rigen witnessed it with his own eyes that he realized the ’rumors’ were not exaggerated at all. In fact, the power Ye Qingzhou displayed was even more formidable than the legends!

As Mo Rigen was observing Ye Qingzhou, Ye Qingzhou was also observing him.

Ye Qingzhou looked around, seeing five pillars of qi towering into the sky, and among them, a giant wolf baring its fangs and roaring at the heavens.

"The Celestial Wolf Race implements a joint consultative system, comprising five divisions: Black, White, Red, Yellow, and Blue, ruling the Southern Desert Grassland with the Celestial Wolf as their Ancestral God. It seems these five pillars of light represent the Celestial Destiny of the Celestial Wolf Race." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

With a thought, Ye Qingzhou immediately unleashed his ultimate technique, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique.

This sword gathered the hearts and minds of the people and soldiers of Youzhou. As it was raised high, a vast surge of Power of Thought Ability came flooding in, its might towering and majestic, connecting heaven and earth in harmony.

"Slash!"

The resounding sword hum echoed across the sky, and with it, the five pillars of Destiny were severed with a single stroke.

The ’Heaven’ that the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique cut was not the Azure Heaven, but the Celestial Destiny.

Once the Celestial Destiny was cut, one’s fortune declined immediately, forsaken by heaven and earth. Even drinking cold water might result in a toothache as a minor consequence...

In the sky, five meteors fell, their radiant trails beautiful beyond compare.

Under the horrified gaze of the five Celestial Wolf Tribe chiefs — ’Heroic Ghost,’ ’Frost Blade,’ ’Blood Hand,’ ’Barbarian Bear,’ and ’Bow Fox’ — the meteors descended with sharp whistles, crashing fiercely into their camp.

Boom!

The violent impact made the earth tremble. The shockwave swept across, instantly killing tens of thousands of cavalry, while the rest were left in terror, completely losing the will to fight.

For those who worshiped spirits and deities, such a celestial calamity was akin to a ’divine punishment,’ marking heaven’s intent to annihilate the Celestial Wolf Race!

At this moment, another strange sight appeared over the battlefield.

A great mass of black clouds suddenly gathered, resembling a collapsing mud mountain, pressing down slowly from above onto the Celestial Wolf Race’s camp, turning the sky and earth murky, and casting darkness over a span of several hundred miles.

The Celestial Wolf warriors under the Five Great Clans were bewildered, their spirits already scattered. Facing the already invincible Divine Martial Army, they all lay prostrate on the ground, trembling as if fearing to be crushed to death.

"Mo Rigen!"

’Barbarian Bear’ Laxen of the Yellow Mane Division, with a dirty face, looked at his good brother and spoke with a teary voice: "Dead, Ereleheke, Daisen Dari, Daiqin, they’re all dead!"

"I know."

Mo Rigen’s face was ashen, his eyes devoid of their former luster. His proud wisdom and strategies were meaningless in the face of such earth-shattering power.

"Surrender."

The outcome of this war was already determined.

As Ye Qingzhou arrived with his sword, Mo Rigen and Laxen had completely given up resistance, prostrating before Ye Qingzhou, trembling and pleading: "Guilty minister Mo Rigen, begs for the mercy of the Upper Country."

"I gave you a chance."

Ye Qingzhou’s cold, ruthless words made Mo Rigen and Laxen shiver all over.

"What must we do to quell the Sword Monarch’s wrath?"

Mo Rigen spoke humbly, not daring to retort.

Ye Qingzhou stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent: "The Celestial Wolf Race initiated an invasion, a crime unforgivable. However, we of the Central Plains, as the Upper Country and a nation of etiquette, can offer you a chance to live."

"Thank the Sword Monarch for his mercy!"

Hearing there was a chance to live, Mo Rigen hurriedly agreed, fearing Ye Qingzhou might change his mind.

"Five years."

Ye Qingzhou held out his fingers, stating conditions in an unquestionable tone: "The Celestial Wolf Race’s territory will be annexed into Youzhou. The five divisions will be stripped of their titles and dissolved, the whole tribe reduced to slavery. However, with good behavior, after five years of hard labor, freedom can be restored. Those showing exceptional merit may even gain citizenship."

"We are willing to be slaves to atone for our sins!"

Mo Rigen was overjoyed, not at all feeling humiliated by Ye Qingzhou. Instead, he felt it a great honor for the Celestial Wolf Race to be able to serve Ye Qingzhou as dogs.

After all, the Celestial Wolf Race initially served as the dogs of the Donghu People before being driven to settle in the barren Desert North.

After Da Liang went to war with the Donghu, the Celestial Wolf Race served Da Liang, driving out the Donghu People and seizing the fertile Southern Desert Grassland, slowly growing stronger.

What pride could there be in a horseman?

What was so bad about serving as dogs to the strong?

In their eyes, to serve a peerless warrior like the Sword Monarch was indeed a splendid thing.
