强制欢宠：我的温柔暴君

40

Seeing the culprit finally appear before him, Ye Li’s heart ached with hatred! All his years of planning had been ruined at the most vital point, and the youth in front of him had truly contributed to its catastrophe greatly!

He sneered before suddenly rushing forward to attack Mo Linyuan in rage.

When Yan Xu naturally saw this, he was taken aback. If something were to happen to Mo Linyuan in the Yue Country, it naturally won’t be a good thing if they were to ally the two countries. Yan Xu hurriedly shouted when he saw ye Li rush blindly, “Ye Li! If you resist any further, I’ll have to give the order to kill you!”

Slaughter them all?

It was a frightening command, yet Yan Xu’s words did not faze the irrational Ye Li one bit. Nevertheless, his hasty attack was futile as he was blocked by the expert guarding Mo Linyuan. So, he took two steps back and suddenly sniggered.

Afterwards, without preamble for all the arrows pointed at them, he amplified his voice with his inner strength, giving the chilling command, “Ye army, listen up! Kill him! Even if we die, we will not be cowards!”

He completely disregarded Yan Xu’s threat, even if he clearly knew he was no match for him; that his defeat was looming just around the corner. In his unacceptance of everything, did Ye Li want everyone to die here together with him?

Seeing that the other party was stubbornly adamant to resist, Yan xu could not give the order to shoot. Despite, he had shouted earlier that if Ye Li left him with no choice, he would be forced to rain the arrows on them all. At the growing complicated situation, the Second Prince finally intervened, raising his voice to exclaim, “Every one of you, listen! You have already lost this battle. Surrender and refrain from killing! What I want is Ye Li’s head! I, Qi Lian, swear upon the will of the gods and spirits that I will let you surrender without bloodshed!”

The Second Orince’s words were like a clap of thunder that fell on the people’s ears, causing the hearts of the Ye family army, who were originally determined to die for a cause, to waver. At this moment, the expansive battlefield suddenly quieted down, and other than Ye Li’s loyal old subordinates, no one else became willing to follow Ye Li’s command to a fight to death—rather, it was suicide at this point.

As expected, after those people stopped their attacks, Ye Li’s taut nerves finally broke…these people were once attached to him, his cause, and now, they actually dared to disobey his orders?

With a single slash of Ye Li’s sword, a few of his retreating soldiers were killed on the spot. As his fellow comrade’s blood splashed across the ground, the surrounding people could only see Ye Li finally succumbing to insanity. Everyone instantly avoided him like plagued, more convinced to leave.

But although they had finally refrained from attacking, they also didn’t dare to retreat completely…

“Stop! General, please stop!” An old general with a scarred face instantly cried out and rushed towards Ye Li.

“For us to have reached this point, we no longer have any regrets left… General, so what if we lose? These old comrades of yours will forever serve you; the rest—just let them live…”

The outcome of the current battle was clear as day; they had soundly lost. Rather than commit an act of genocide, it would be better if they committed suicide willingly so that the remaining people could have a chance of survival.
