Chapitre 28: The Final Moment Is Here!
Éditeur: EndlessFantasy Translation
At this moment, Xu Mo was as stable as Mount Tai. He was happily sitting on the Sky-Splitting Demonic Ape's head!
The Sky-Splitting Demonic Ape had actually signed a slave contract with him and willingly became his mount.
If Zeng Rong and the others saw this when they went back, their jaws would probably drop to the ground in shock, right?
As Xu Mo thought about this smugly, a system notification suddenly rang in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully taming the Sky-Splitting Demonic Ape. Reward: [Life-Sacrification]!]
He had obtained another of the Chongming Bird's innate skills.
Xu Mo waved his fists excitedly. In an instant, the new skill was fused into his mind. Simultaneously, something seemed to have appeared in his body.
"With my current strength, it shouldn't be a problem for me to be Yanjing Fortress's governor, right?
While Xu Mo was thinking about this, the Sky-Splitting Demonic Ape had already arrived at the forest's outermost part. The tall city wall in front of it was becoming more visible.
*
"It's here!"
The moment the Sky-Splitting Demonic Ape appeared, Zeng Rong noticed it at a glance, and he instantly became nervous.
At this moment, although the monster was less than three meters tall, it had wings that were nearly ten meters long. It was more than enough to intimidate the soldiers on the wall.
Seeing the monster flying in the sky, everyone's faces turned pale.
Even though the monster had yet to start attacking, the despairing pressure approaching them made everyone on the city wall lose all their fighting strength.
"It really is a Platinum-ranked monster, and it's already here!"
"Oh my god, it's so big, and it even has wings. How can we fight it?"
"It's over, Yanjing Fortress is finished, our home is gone!"
*
Looking at the Sky-Splitting Demonic Ape in the air, almost everyone lost their will to fight.
When Zeng Rong saw this, he didn't say anything, nor did he scold his soldiers. In fact, his legs were also trembling. Facing such an opponent, there was no difference in whether he resisted or not.
For now, he could only hope that Lord Lang Mei could arrive in time to protect the civilians in Yanjing Fortress who had no combat power.
Zeng Rong was ready to fight to the death. The two lieutenants and the four leaders looked like they were ready to face death.
Even though everyone knew what they were going to do next was completely useless, however, since they were wearing military uniforms, there was no reason for them to retreat. Unless they died in battle, they would never retreat!
"Brothers, the final moment has arrived. Today is the day to sacrifice your lives for justice!"
Zeng Rong roared with all his might, his voice booming throughout the entire city wall.
The panicked soldiers finally calmed down when they heard Zeng Rong's voice. Everyone knew that the time to sacrifice themselves for the country had finally come.
At this point, there was only one way out if they didn't want to be a deserter. They were ready to die!
Under the respective people's leadership, everyone quickly gathered and entered their designated battle positions.
Zeng Rong jumped on top of the bastion, turned around, and shouted to his soldiers.
"Brothers, in today's battle, if you're willing to cut yourself into pieces, you may pull even the King of Hell down from his horse and come with me to kill the enemy!"
"Kill!"
When the soldiers saw their admiral standing at the forefront and shouting those words, their blood instantly surged. Their eyes turned red as they screamed hysterically.
*
"Hmm?" Xu Mo, who was sitting on the Sky-Splitting Demonic Ape's head, could not help but be shocked when he heard the sudden screams.
"What's the situation?" He stood up and looked toward the city wall in confusion.
"Admiral, something seems to be wrong."
At this moment, the Golden Phoenix Division's leader shouted at Zeng Rong.
"What is it?" Zeng Rong turned around in shock.
"Look on top of that monster's head. There seems to be a person standing there, and it looks like he's wearing our military uniform!"
"What?!" Zeng Rong was stunned as he looked further with his eyes wide open.
The Inheritors mostly received monster bloodlines. With their bloodline's support, their eyesight was much more extraordinary than that of a normal human's.
Zeng Rong saw at a glance that there was really a person standing on the Sky-Splitting Demonic Ape's head, and he looked very familiar!
"Th-That's… That's Xu Mo! He's not dead yet!"
Zeng Rong's eyes were wide as he shouted.
"What?! Lieutenant Xu is on top of that monster? He's still alive?"
"What's going on with the monster? Why did he come back with it? Could it be..."
"'Could it be', my ass. What, are you trying to say Lieutenant Xu signed a contract with that monster? Did a donkey kick your brain?"
"That's right, even if he signed a contract, do you think the monsters would let him stand on its head?"
"Then could it be that Lieutenant Xu tamed that monster? That's a Platinum-ranked one!"
"It seems that nothing is impossible with Lieutenant Xu!"
"Oh my god, if that's really the case, wouldn't we…"
*
The soldiers were both surprised and delighted. They looked at the monster that was getting closer and closer to the city wall, their eyes filled with hope.
"Don't move!" Zeng Rong raised his hand, signaling the soldiers who were ready to fight to calm down.
At this moment, Xu Mo jumped down from the Sky-Splitting Demonic Ape's head and landed on the city walls' other end.
"Admiral, everyone, that Sky-Splitting Demonic Ape won't attack the city wall. Don't be nervous!"
Everyone looked at him in disbelief.
"I've already tamed that monster. In the future, it will be one of us- no, one of our mounts…"
As his words reached everyone's ears, everyone's eyes widened. The city wall fell into dead silence.
There was only one thought lingering in their minds at this moment.
The fact that Xu Mo had tamed a Platinum-ranked monster and turned it into his mount!
After a long time, everyone finally recovered from their shock and cheered like crazy!
"Oh my god, Lieutenant Xu is awesome. He's really done it again this time!"
"Platinum-ranked monsters as mounts? Did Lieutenant Xu really tame it?"
"Is that monster really Platinum-ranked? Oh my God, is this real? Does that mean we're not going to die?"
"Too awesome, too powerful! Is Lieutenant Xu really only at 5-star Gold rank?"
"Yeah, didn't they say that only some Adjudicators can tame a Platinum-ranked monster?"
"I don't really care. In any case, we don't have to die. Hahaha… Long live Lieutenant Xu!"
"Long live Lieutenant Xu!"
The soldiers began to shout and cheer wildly, jumping on the wall out of joy.
Zeng Rong, Zhang Jun, Leng Qun, and the others all looked at Xu Mo in a daze. They stood rooted to the ground as if someone had cast a spell on them. Their minds were blank!
They could think of any possibility, but none of them could answer their confusion.
Wasn't that a platinum monster? Wasn't Xu Mo only at Gold rank?
Wasn't his strength about the same as the admiral's? So how was he able to tame that monster while the admiral almost died in the forest?
Was the green-furred monster fake?
