Chapter 998: Chapter 998 Town North King
Western Plateau.
The fierce wind kept blowing.
Though Gonzalez City had already felt the warm breeze, here the cold wind still pierced to the bone!
Looking west, one could faintly see the snow-capped mountains towering into the clouds.
Eight hundred miles further east stood the main altar of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, Demarco Mount.
Many residents lived on the plateau, but no one dared to approach its highest area.
There, a pastureland was frequently occupied by mysterious people shepherding.
Unlike the residents, these individuals wore blue garments.
The clothes were embroidered with stars.
And on their faces, they wore peculiar masks.
In the center of this grassland stood a building.
Inside the building, a huge human statue was carved.
Unlike ordinary statues, this one made of pure gold had thousands of faces.
The nearby tribespeople called it the Thousand Faces God.
And their leader was none other than the Night Fairy!
Even the members of the tribe had never seen the true face of the Night Fairy!
Every time they saw the Night Fairy appear, it was with a completely different face.
The only proof of identity was a blood-red blade.
An exclusive symbol of the Night Fairy, symbolizing the tribal leadership.
There was a great misunderstanding about this place from the outside world.
The Night Fairy was not an actual name but a title.
Every leader was called the Night Fairy.
Because of the many faces, tribespeople weren’t even sure how many times the Night Fairy had been replaced.
The successor was protected from a young age, not meeting with anyone.
After receiving the direct teachings of the Night Fairy, they would blend into the tribe behind a mask.
Only waiting to be summoned to complete the succession.
At that moment on the Western Plateau, the tribespeople were shepherding as usual.
But suddenly, a group of cavalry was spotted rushing from a distance.
The night was very dark.
Only when the ground started trembling did they realize it.
As usual, no outsiders were allowed to approach!
Woo!
Someone blew the alarm horn.
Many of the shepherding tribespeople pulled out long knives, glaring angrily at the distance!
The cavalry drew closer and closer!
The men were cloaked in black, their warhorses draped in black iron armor; in the darkness, they raced towards them like the grim reaper!
The warriors’ hands clutched uniformly black spears, filled with an ominous air!
"My god!"
The tribal sub-leader flipped onto his horse, brandishing a scimitar to meet the charging cavalry.
"Stop!"
When the two sides were less than a hundred meters apart, the sub-leader raised his long knife, "Who dares to intrude on the Night Fairy’s territory? Stop immediately!"
But the cavalry, instead of slowing down, sped up even more!
"Stop! You dare to trespass on the Night Fairy’s domain..."
Boom!
Hundreds of warhorses galloped past.
When the dust settled, the sub-leader had been trampled into unrecognizable remains.
Even his mount was reduced to a pool of blood.
On the plateau.
The tribe members stood dumbfounded.
They suddenly realized that danger was descending upon them!
"Quick!"
A group of people frantically picked up weapons and started to fight.
The Night Fairy’s branch belonged to the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance; no organization or individual dared to cause trouble there.
Moreover, with the Night Fairy’s formidable skills, many bosses sought their help in making masks.
But today, for the first time, someone raised the slaughter knife, chopping down towards their heads.
The panicked tribespeople had almost no resistance.
And one by one, they fell into pools of blood.
The black-clad cavalry extended their long spears, continuously reaping lives.
Blood ceaselessly splattered.
In the end, on the plateau, only the ownerless flock of sheep remained.
Bang!
Walking to the entrance of the great hall.
The black-clad cavalry dismounted from their horses.
The leader, clad in black battle armor, thrust his spear through the hall door!
Bang!
After the door collapsed, there remained the helpless tribespeople inside.
Many of them were women and numerous children.
They looked at the cavalry in fear, with pleading in their eyes.
"The Night Fairy sided with tyranny, even making masks for the enemies of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance’s lord. Now, by the holy order, we, the Wolf Cavalry, have come to exterminate the rebels!"
The leading general slowly waved his right hand, "Kill!"
"Ha!"
Spears uniformly stabbed forward. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Blood ceaselessly splashed onto the statue of the Thousand Faces Man.
Only after almost no one inside was left alive did the cavalry stop.
They turned and left.
Among the piles of corpses, a few children shivered all over, not daring to move.
"Town North King, why did we suddenly change our route, not going to Gonzalez City to assist the princess, but instead come to the Western Plateau to execute these people?"
A cavalryman voiced his query.
"It is the will of Elders Victor."
The general mounted his horse and donned a black helmet, "As a general, I merely follow orders. Anything that benefits The North Sea and aids in our quest for restitution is worth doing."
He looked at the blood-soaked hall and snorted lightly, "Night Fairy, in his wildest dreams, couldn’t have imagined that making masks for Elders Victor would eventually bring disaster upon him."
"Such actions by Elders Victor seem like repaying kindness with ingratitude..."
A cavalryman said in a stern voice.
"Ha, Elders Victor managed to consolidate The North Sea step by step and even forced Windy Johnson to sever his own claws, submitting under the princess’s command, all due to his cold-blooded ruthlessness!"
The general gazed at the black spear still wet with fresh blood, full of anticipation, "Back then, Wolf Cavalry raided thousands of miles, annihilating The North Sea! Today, we masquerade as Wolf Cavalry, slaughtering every member of Night Fairy’s alliance. I must admit, I do want to confront Wolf Cavalry head-on in a real battle!"
"Kill!"
Behind him, the cavalrymen, holding their spears aloft, cried out in unison.
"Wolf Cavalry? The sacred ruler has been missing for four years now, I suspect Wolf Cavalry can hardly wield a knife! Sooner or later, we’ll have a real battle with Wolf Cavalry and topple them from their horses!"
The cavalryman roared angrily.
"Sooner or later, that day will come."
The general raised his arm, looking at his own blood-stained hand, "If the princess is to ascend to the sacred ruler’s throne, Wolf Cavalry must be eradicated! By then, we will be the true Wolf Cavalry!"
"What’s our next move?"
Another cavalryman questioned.
"To Gonzalez City."
Town North King took out his cellphone, looking at the messages and shaking his head with a smile, "Elders Victor ran into some trouble in Gonzalez City. Our first batch of spies hidden in Gonzalez City have all been killed! Only the young master is left, not daring to make any rash moves."
"An unlucky start."
The cavalryman spoke with indifference, "Those people were merely good for nothing."
"Let’s go!"
The cavalrymen disappeared into the darkness.
Just as they had arrived.
Time passed unknown.
A person drove an SUV speeding towards the location.
Bang!
The vehicle’s front collided with the entrance of the great hall.
The two bright headlights illuminated the entire hall!
The first thing seen was the blood-stained golden statue.
Then, corpses scattered everywhere.
"Ah..."
A man jumped out of the vehicle.
He angrily eyed the gruesome scene, his fingernails digging deep into his flesh!
And his face kept changing!
Finally, it settled into a fixed mask.
Thud!
He knelt down in agony.
His hands covering his face.
"Night Fairy..."
A faint voice slowly came through.
The person swiftly looked up, doubting if he was hallucinating.
"Night Fairy..."
As the second voice came, he quickly rushed over.
Pulling a child out from among the corpses.
"Who did this!"
Night Fairy screamed angrily.
Her robe fluttering without any wind.
"They said... the sacred ruler... Wolf Cavalry..."
"They claimed you betrayed the sacred ruler and were sent to exterminate..."
Several children spoke fearfully.
"Wolf Cavalry..."
Night Fairy suddenly burst into a sly smile.
"Let’s go."
She crouched down, caressing the child’s head.
"To where?"
The child asked fearfully.
"To revenge!"
PS: I am now quite conflicted about something.
When I write, I include many details,
like this Town North King, mentioned in yesterday’s update, which most of you probably overlooked.
Every time you say you don’t understand, everything seems foggy, I wonder if these little details are helpful or not.
I have written as explicitly as possible now, almost wanting to directly reveal every mysterious person before they appear, fearing that you might say you don’t understand again...
If it’s really like this, I will write even more straightforwardly in the future, not setting any groundwork, nor writing those minor details.
If one or two don’t understand, I can consider that you are skimming too fast, ten lines at a glance, not noticing the clues I wrote.
But many people say that their heads buzz, which clearly means there’s a problem with my writing...
From now on, I’ll avoid detailing, making the plot clearer hopefully for everyone to understand...
I sincerely apologize.
Sorry.
I have seen comments lately, and I am adjusting continually, already telling you directly who’s who compared to a few days ago...
Those tiny details, I guess none of you noticed, so might as well not write them...
Feel free to express any opinions, I won’t adjust the plot, but the writing style can be mutually adapted.
I adapt to you, and you gradually adapt to my narrative.
Let’s consider it making friends.
I will consider it appropriately, but I can’t alter the plot.
This is my bottom line.
I won’t fall at the same place twice.
