Wang Geming's time to shine 1

¨Well, it seems that I need to go¨ The Chief wearing his wolf headdress spoke to Wang Geming, who against he had been fighting for a moment.

¨Wait what? Where are you going!¨ Wang Geming wouldn't let this guy just run away now that no one else was wanting to fight anymore, and so chased after the Chief booking it like everyone else in the Holy Coalition.

The Holy Coalition retreat had become a rout where one would survive if he or she got over to the treeline where they knew that the Hag had sprung the trap which would let them escape.

Wang Geming not noting how the trees were moving in the background, tried his best to catch up to the Chief. Yet he was still Body Shattering Realm, and so even with the Nectar of Haste, he couldn't catch up to a Body Reunion Realm cultivator running for his life.

Elsewhere, Xiao Fan was trying to scare one of the line soldiers shitless by banging the Rising Ruler against his tower shield like a maniac.

Behind the tower shield, the unlucky soldier was trying his best to calm down the man who he couldn't strike down, yet was trying to kill him.

¨Friendly!¨ He shouted from behind the shield slowly starting to feel the attacks coming from Xiao Fan shaking him.

'Kill, kill, kill' Xiao Fan was repeating the word kill over and over again as he tried to destroy the opposition in front of him.

The battle had taken a good amount of his mentality, and now he was stuck in a gear that wasn't needed anymore.

¨Mask! Stop!¨ Luckily Xiao Fan had come across a point in the line that was being commanded by the Second Guard Captain, whose voice Xiao Fan could detect as a friendly.

'Stop?' He had a simple thought, then started to look a little more closely what he was banging against. Taking a look, he saw that the tower shield he had banged against was blue, decorated with a golden one-headed eagle that was the insignia of the Bald Eagle Dynasty...

¨Sorry, sorry!¨ Realising that he was hitting friendlies he exclaimed and came to look at the man holding onto the tower shield he had almost destroyed with both of his hands.

¨Shit happens...¨ The soldier behind the shield didn't talk much, only this and then he sighed in relief while dragging himself and the tower shield now reduced in weight and area out of the line.

¨No, no¨ He couldn't let it go like this, and so he stepped to be next to the soldier ¨Here have this for your troubles¨ He gave the man a vial of Greenheart. That was the least he could do.

¨Thanks, this will come handy¨ The man seeing someone offering him a free vial of Greenheart was of course very happy. Greenheart was known in the army, but having a bottle at your immediate disposal? That was still unheard.

In a way, him obtaining this gave a shot at living after a serious injury.

¨Can I have one too?¨ Even the Second Guard Captain was a little interested in getting one.

¨You? After what you did to me before?¨ Xiao Fan would give this Guard Captain nothing after what he had done.

¨Ah, right... forget it¨ The Guard Captain realising this forgot any hope of obtaining a second vial of Greenheart. 'It would have been nice to have one for my self, but I sure did bring this upon myself' Of course, his vial of Greenheart was only to be used in the case that he needed to treat the Prince.

Even after months of Greenheart deliveries, the amount of Greenheart the Bald Eagle Dynasty had was too little. The agencies also needed to ask for more money from the central authorities if they wanted to purchase more in large quantities.

¨Maybe later when I trust you a little more¨ Xiao Fan spoke back, and he was speaking the truth.

¨Then I'll have to perform better¨ The man nodded.

This might have sounded like a bribe, but considering the situation where they were, neither of them had any mental power to plot such small things.

¨Where's the Second Prince? What are the casualties?¨ It was time to move onto the real talk.

¨The casualties are light since the fighting didn't last for long. The Prince? Last time I saw him, he was in the middle of the battle. That's where most of the higher level cultivators fought around¨ The Second Guard Captain explained the situation.

¨Good, we should get going then. Oh yeah, look, we have reinforcements!¨ During the second sentence, he pointed at the group of Yi Family cultivators in their family clothing behind him.

Of course, the Second Guard Captain had seen this, and if he didn't lie, he was worried for what this entailed, but then again they were here to help his Prince. Furthermore, the Guard Captains, him amongst them had slowly realised that the next genuine Guard Captain would be chosen soon, so he didn't complain.

¨I'll follow you¨ This in mind the Second Guard Captain was worried only for a moment before starting to walk between the two lines of defence the Bald Ragle Dynasty had.

As they did so, the other Royals waiting or recuperating inside the second defensive line noted what was happening, and they weren't too excited for what was about to happen. The mere fact that there were so many Yi Family troops suddenly marching amongst them made everyone smart enough to understand shiver.

Especially so when the Yi Family troops smiled at them or laughed amongst themselves.

Arriving at the middle Xiao Fan for the first time noted the bedrock spikes while looking around for his current liege ¨Wang Geming!¨ He also shouted for him a couple of times. Doing so he was appreciating the spikes and changed his opinion when it came to summoning songs 'Not every song type can kill so many men in an instant' He noted that the number of people skewered on those spikes wasn't small.

He got a moment to rethink his opinions when it came to sound cultivation before Wang Geming bathed in blood came in front of him.

However, before the Prince or Xiao Fan got a word out of their mouths the thousand or so men behind Xiao Fan kneeled in front of the man they had come to serve.

¨We have come to serve!¨ They all shouted now kneeling and gazing towards the ground before them.

Xiao Fan had already turned around when hearing all the armour clanking from them going onto their knees, and so he got to witness this awing moment of so many cultivators giving their fielty to one man.

On the other hand, Wang Geming realising what was going on laughed and laughed.

He laughed for such a long time that the other Royals got restless, scared of the possibility that Wang Geming would start purging them all right this moment.

Though that wouldn't happen now ¨It is great to see so many men of the Yi Family here!¨ He when ending his laughing, began to address the men, walking into their midst, speaking to them and to everyone else listening to him, so everyone ¨I don't know why or how you are here, but if things are so... Guess I'll just have to step up and lead you all¨ He laughed for a second or two more ¨Yet do not fret, for I will lead us all to Glory! Now rise! The men of the Yi Family rise!¨ He ended the speech in a tone that wasn't mild nor exclaiming; it was straight up shouting.

But shouting was what he needed here as the Yi Family soldiers got up from the ground like they had been commanded. When up they then started banging their swords to their shields, their spears to the ground, their twin blades together, all the while the standard beares flew their family banners high in the air.

If this wasn't a show of force, nothing was.

What could the other say to this? Absolutely nothing, they all stood there, watching how the Yi Family members celebrated and shouted for the glory of the Yi Family that was, in their words, above all others.

Even Xiao Fan, who didn't get excited from things like this couldn't but shout a few times, his body wanting to join this group and gain glory with them while his mind that was back to calculating fully encouraged these actions.

After having shouted enough, he heard Wang Geming next to him ¨Getting a little carried away are we?¨ He spoke loudly enough so that Xiao Fan could hear him amongst all the celebrating still going on around them.

¨A bit, but like you aren't excited for the future¨ Then he laughed.

¨I can't say that I'm not excited¨ Wang Geming then joined the laugh.

A moment later ¨So shall we go and see how my siblings are doing?¨ Wang Geming noted that they still had things to do.

¨Of course, they must be dying to see you¨ Xiao Fan agreed and then followed Wang Geming going towards the centre of the formation with the Second Guard Captain next to him and the Yi Family men following behind them.

Soon their massive group was over the other Princes and Princess still in inward shock from what has befallen them, though to the outside they were fine, particularly the Eleventh Prince was seemingly all fine, his face not showing a single negative emotion.

Starting this discussion, Wang Geming came up and took the head of the Chief he had slain off his waist and threw it onto the ground in front of the others coming to welcome him.

¨What is the situation?¨ While the head inside the helmet rolled over to them, Wang Geming asked this.

This was finally enough pressure and feeling of a gap in power to shake the Eleventh Prince ¨T-the battle is won... thanks to the Yi Family¨ There was a stutter in his speech.

¨Can we chase them?¨ Wang Geming kept up the act.

¨No, those trees or whatever block us from continuing. The casualty predictions I can get from us chasing them are too high¨ Likewise the Eleventh Prince kept acting.

¨Where did all of them come?¨ However, the Sixth Princess didn't keep the act up, and to break the act, she came out with the question everyone else was having on their minds. She was hoping to unite them against Wang Geming while they still had a shot in that.

¨Please explain¨

¨This can't be a coincidence¨

Luckily for her, the others got her idea and put the pressure they could onto Wang Geming, who even after this seemed to be totally fine.

¨My mother has always been so caring of me. She must have sent men to search for him¨ He then turned around towards the men from the Yi Family ¨Yi Yuan, come here¨ From there he called one of the cousins he knew to come forward.

When Yi Yuan had come closer ¨Why were you sent here?¨

¨Your mother is absolutely destroyed from you disappearing, and so she begged the family to send troops to look for you¨ Yi Yuan explained what he had been told to say by Yi Lin when coming here. Yi Yuan might not like being told to do something by a woman, even the Queen, but in a case like this... not so much.

High ranking position in the court after Wang Geming took the throne was a good incentive to lie.

¨Has anyone else sent anyone?¨ The first one to speak out after Yi Yuan's explanation was the Sixth Princess.

¨Pft! The other women laughed at Yi Lin for sending a group to look for the Second Prince¨ This time Yi Yuan didn't need to lie.

However, the other Royals might have been happier if this was a lie since with this being the truth they all realised that they were in deep trouble.
