Martial Hero Rebirth

Early in the morning of the second day, a high platform was placed outside the Hangzhou Courtyard.

With a sword in his outstretched hand, Lin Yi stood on the platform. He looked more serious than ever. The elders of the court lined up in front, all on horseback and wearing heavy armor. Perfectly still, like a terracotta army.

Behind them stood five hundred warriors of his personal guard, all with battle armor covering their bodies and heads, riding on steel-clad horses. They gave off an aura of death, they seemed to be creatures of flesh and metal.

No one dared to look at them directly; they only had the courage to take a rare sideways glance. Lin Yi watched with satisfaction. These two squads were worth his training and time.

A little behind there was another dense crowd. Huashan disciples are a thousand third-class experts, and ten thousand warriors without inner strength. They were not as impressive as the soldiers, but their bravery was also respectable.

By this day, the disciples of Huashan ceased to be caravan leaders and turned into strong warriors. They killed people, saw blood, and fought with honor.

Behind them stood the forces of forty-nine cities, answering the call. A total of more than six thousand people, including more than three hundred second-class experts, two thousand third-class, and more than four thousand experts without inner strength.

Total almost twenty thousand people.

Everyone stood silent and motionless, only the flags fluttered in the wind..

“Into battle!”

The voices of everyone in the square answered him:

“Into battle!”

“Into battle!”

“Into battle!”

Everyone within a radius of ten kilometers heard their roar..

“Let's kill them all!” the elders howled, drawing their blades.

“Let's kill them all!” repeated the crowd in one voice.

Lin Yi descended from the platform, climbed onto his war horse, and headed out. Hu De followed right behind him. Next is a team of twenty elders, then the soldiers, all third-class Court experts, Huashan disciples without inner strength, and behind them are the people gathered by the Hangzhou region. The army stretched out like a long snake and hurriedly headed towards Eagle Mountain.

They learned about this event like pigeon mail in Hangzhou. At that same hour, everyone heard that the Huashan army had gone after the bandits at the old site of the Eagle Cult.

.˙.

The bandit ran in, hitting the doors against the jambs, and exclaimed:

“Sir, I discovered the Huashan scouts at the foot of the mountain.!”

In the main hall, hundreds of bandits gathered in a tight group, dozens of second-class experts from Eagle Mountain stood with folded hands and gloomy faces.

Leader Su sat on the stone throne, he grinned:

“Get ready, suicides are coming towards us. I've been waiting for them for a long time, my beautiful hands are already itching! Second leader, the defense is ready?”

A gloomy man emerged from the group of Eagle Mountain bandits. Bowing, he said:

“Chapter, all ten levels of defense of Eagle Mountain are ready to meet the enemy. All that remains is to wait for them to come - death is already waiting for them!”

Ten levels of protection have existed since the time of the Cult of the Eagle. Thanks to them and their favorable location, it was very easy to defend.

This was one of the reasons why the camp lasted so long. Fighting them is not about destroying some bandits, but almost like a large cult.

One look at the many walls stretching from one sheer cliff to another was enough to feel hopelessness.

“Okay, I'll wait here. If this ugly Heavenly Sword dies before I come down, then bring me his head, I’ll make a goblet out of it!” leader Su laughed.

“Yes, head. My guys will definitely rip his head off and present it to you!” exclaimed the second leader, clenching his fists.

Leader Su snorted and glanced at the bandits from the camps who had fled to them.

“Get down, you fools. Now is your chance for revenge, so take it! If anyone dares to retreat, I will cut off their head!”

Hundreds of bandits roared:

“Don't worry, leader Su, this time the freak from Huashan has finished his game!”

“Yes, I will avenge this humiliation!”

“Revenge, revenge, revenge!”

“That's it, shut up!” Leader Su barked. “Stop scratching your tongue, let’s get to work!”

Everyone lowered their heads and left the hall..

.˙.

Lin Yi, with a majestic expression on his face, looked at the group of high mountains huddled together.

The rest of the army followed him.

People in it pointed to their goal and discussed how to approach it. Many people's faces were gloomy and worried..

“The battle will not be easy, the mountain is high and full of defensive structures, not to mention places for ambush. It’s not easy to climb something like this, and if you also have to fight at the same time...”

“Yeah. They say they have ten levels of defense there. They were built by the Cult of the Eagle hundreds of years ago, so it is very difficult to attack them. How many lives will you have to sacrifice to cross at least one?”

“Eh, one mistake and we're all done for.”

The second-class experts from forty-nine cities whispered with worry in their voices. Even the old fox Hu Dali looked worried. He couldn't find any good way to attack.

Hu De, listening to them, said:

“Big Brother Lin, the ten levels of Eagle Mountain are widely famous in Hangzhou.”

Lin Yi's eyes observed some depth unattainable to others.

Turning around, he said in a decisive tone:

“No matter how difficult it is, we must win. Only with the death of the Eagle Mountain bandits will the Hangzhou area know peace. My time here is limited; in less than a month I will have to leave the region. If you do not destroy them by that time, the bandits will take revenge for all the humiliation and suffering that they had to endure. Therefore, instead of waiting for them to come for your families, we must destroy them ourselves. Soon you will be the head of the Hangzhou Court, and I don’t want the heat to await you from the first day.”

“Big Brother Lin,” Hu De muttered, embarrassed.

But all these were half-empty words. In fact, Lin Yi wanted to completely exterminate the bandits in the territory to secure an escape route for the era of wars. He had long considered Huashan his property, if not his family, and therefore prepared plans in advance to save it.

If he just wanted to become a master disciple, he could have stopped after capturing forty-nine cities. To hell with them, there were a thousand ways to achieve excellent results without risking yourself.

But why become a master disciple if not for the sake of Huashan? And how could such a cunning person as Ouyang Ming miss the deception, even the most tricky one??

No, Lin Yi did not work for the picture.

Looking at everyone, he shouted:

“Listen to my order! Climbing the mountain!”

Several heralds conveyed the order throughout the army, which stretched out like a long river. Leaders from each of the forty-nine cities called their men and led them into battle themselves. More than ten thousand Huashan disciples silently followed them with their swords raised..

Five hundred soldiers dismounted, handed over their horses to the support students, and went forward. Then twenty elders followed Lin Yi.

The mountains were full of green trees, blocking the sky and hiding the sun. The path from the foot passed in almost night darkness. The cold wind left its mark in goosebumps on people's cramped necks and hunched backs..

Suddenly there was fog.

At one point, like a milk tsunami, it descended from the mountain and covered the entire forest..

“Can't see anything!”

“Why so much fog??!”

Serious and frightened voices of people were heard here and there, everyone tightly grasped the handles of their weapons and looked around.

Suddenly dark shadows appeared, like falling black stars in the white sky of fog.

“Ah-ah-ah!”

Screams of people struck by arrows were heard everywhere..

“Over there! They are there!”

The crowd chased after the spotted man like wasps from a disturbed hive, but they found no one. Gritting their teeth, the righteous warriors began to retreat back.

But as soon as they turned around, a black starfall fell on them again!

Dozens of people fell to the ground, struck by arrows and screaming in pain and panic..

The second class experts of forty-nine cities stepped forward, one of them shouted angrily:

“Stop running in circles, don't panic! Focus on defense!”

But this had no effect. Dark shadows appeared here and there, and new volleys of arrows made people run and scream.

Morale was falling by the second.

In just a few minutes, they lost hundreds of people, the morale of the people of forty-nine cities dropped so much that they could flee at any moment.

“Big Brother Lin, we can’t continue like this! We still haven't seen a single bandit, and we've already lost several hundred. What should we do?”

Lin Yi squinted his eyes slightly and suddenly remembered a name from his past life..

Haunted Forest.
