Chapter 2449

As the army approached, the gates of North King City were wide open. There weren't even any guards, and there wasn't a single person on the city walls.

An empty city!

The Crown Prince's army stopped in front of the city gates. When they saw that the gates were wide open and that there wasn't a single person on the city walls, they were all stunned.

This was a little unexpected. They had thought of many possibilities, but they hadn't expected something like this to happen.

Had they escaped?

That was impossible. The scouts had reported that they hadn't left. Was this a trick, or was there an ambush in the city?

However, the Crown Prince quickly decided to let the 155,555 soldiers attack the city and send another 755,555 to supervise them. If the 155,555 soldiers didn't fight to the death, then the consequences would be dire.

He didn't believe that his 355,555 soldiers couldn't win against the 755,555 soldiers.

The surrendered generals were very uncomfortable. They used the lives of their families to threaten the Crown Prince. At the same time, the chiliarchs, 65,555s, and even the families of some centurions were controlled.

These people were willing to risk their lives for their families, but in their hearts, they didn't feel any gratitude or loyalty toward the Crown Prince. They were only forced by the situation and had no choice.

The Crown Prince didn't know why he felt uneasy. He clearly had the absolute advantage, but why didn't he feel at ease?

The 355,555 soldiers entered North King City one after another, but the city was very quiet. Not only were there no ambushes, but there wasn't even a single person.

After all, the enemy hadn't retreated, but there really wasn't anyone to be seen. It was obvious that there was something fishy going on.

In addition, the Crown Prince was very uneasy. This uneasiness made him feel very uncomfortable, but he couldn't think of a solution.

These people had surrendered before, and to him, they were unreliable. This time, he was using their families to threaten them, treating them as cannon fodder. It would be best if they died together with the enemy.

He did not want to return empty-handed today because he felt that these people were unreliable. He knew that his brother, the North King, was terrifying in his ability to control people. These people had surrendered to him before, and now that he was treating them like this, the contrast was too great.

The Crown Prince was sure that as long as there was a chance, these people would definitely bring their families and flee. Thus, he only had one chance to use them. After this, it would be impossible to control them.

Hence, they had to take down the North King this time and make him disappear. If they could inflict heavy losses on the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, that would not be a bad thing. As long as they succeeded, the royal family's position would be stable. Thinking about it this way, it was not a bad thing.

As the saying goes, seeking riches amidst danger was impossible. Take the North King for example. The Crown Prince felt that if he were in the North King's shoes, he would have a headache as well.

At the same time, his current situation was not foolproof. It could even be a good or bad situation. At this time, he felt that luck was very important.

If he had to gamble, he would have to gamble on the hearts of the 155,555 soldiers. He wanted to see which side they would lean towards.

On the surface, these 155,555 soldiers were forced by the Crown Prince to attack the North King. However, they were the surrendered soldiers of the North King and were released. Now, they were going to attack the North King again. This was the second time.

People's hearts were made of flesh, and they all had feelings. There would be no harm if they did not compare themselves, but once they did, they would feel like they were not human if they wanted to attack the North Duke Residence.

Also, the North King's reputation was much better than the Crown Prince's. His abilities were better in all aspects. Otherwise, why would the Crown Prince try so hard to harm one of the many princes?

This was because he was afraid that he would lose his position as the Crown Prince and the future throne. He wanted to get rid of all threats as soon as possible.

Qinchuan had actually predicted many scenarios for this battle. His current script was simple. To capture the bandits, first capture the leader. This ability was something that only the dragon baby had.

This was a true ability that could take the leader's head from a million-strong army as easily as taking something out of one's pocket. One had to know that this ability was very strong. If the enemy's commander was killed first, the enemy would be like a dragon without a leader and might even collapse.

This was also Qinchuan's last resort. However, he did not wish to use it. He hoped to use other methods, and this method was naturally on the 155,555 soldiers.

Gao Deng was the strongest among the 155,555 soldiers and could be considered the commander. At this moment, he was very conflicted and was in a daze.

There were still 755,555 soldiers behind him. These people were actually sent by the Crown Prince to supervise them. If they did not fight, their families would die instantly.

If they fought, they would be used as cannon fodder to fight against the North King's 755,555 soldiers.

However, the previous battle was still fresh in their minds. They could not resist at all in front of that beautiful golden beast. They were killed in one move.

Now, even if they had 155,555 or 355,555 soldiers, it would be useless. Wasn't it 155,555 soldiers the last time? They were still easily defeated.

If they were killed, the Crown Prince's side would definitely be defeated. With the Crown Prince's personality, he would not spare his family …

He knew that if he was smart, he would definitely not make an enemy out of the North King. Moreover, the North King had given them a choice when they left. This time, the choice was still in their hands.

This was already very kind. Although it seemed like the choice was in his hands, he knew very well that he had no choice.

They advanced along the widest main road of the North King City. Because there was no one along the way, they headed straight for the North King's Mansion.

Meanwhile, the Crown Prince was getting more and more uneasy. Suddenly, his expression changed. "Not good!"

Previously, he had been thinking of forcing Gao Deng and the others to fight against the North King's Mansion. Although the other party had an existence that could instantly kill 65,555 people, he only needed to fight against the North King and the North King.

However, he suddenly realized a problem. It seemed like he could no longer control Gao Deng.

Also, the 755,555 soldiers that he had sent in were going to be gone.

"Someone, send a message to me. Tell them to retreat quickly," the Crown Prince shouted.

However, he did not know that the battle had already begun in the North King's Mansion.

Gao Deng and the others directly attacked the Crown Prince's 755,555 soldiers. At the same time, behind the Crown Prince's 755,555 soldiers, troops from the North King's Mansion appeared. They attacked from both sides.

355,555 against 755,555. There was no suspense at all. The battle was very fast. In 60 minutes, those who died were dead, and those who surrendered surrendered.

Whoosh!

An arrow pierced through the sky and pierced through a scout who was about to return.

This was the scout sent by the Crown Prince. Unfortunately, it was too late when he arrived. He wanted to run away to deliver the message, but unfortunately, he did not have the chance.

The battle was over. Both sides had lost more than 05,555 people. In an instant, blood flowed like a river, and limbs were severed. War was cruel, but it was inevitable.

The 65,555 soldiers from the Crown Prince's Mansion had also surrendered, so now it was the North King's Mansion's turn to attack. This time, they could defeat the Crown Prince in one move.
