My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World - Chapter 410

Chapter 410: Speechless
In the Feng Army’s garrison in Xiquan City, Pei Jinhuan hurried toward Mo Yuan’s room. He knocked on the door and waited eagerly.

A few seconds later, Mo Yuan’s calm voice came from inside. “Please come in.”

Pushing open the door, Pei Jinhuan stepped inside and spoke before even seeing Mo Yuan. “Brother Mo, they have made their move!”

Hearing this, Mo Yuan looked up from the book he was reading and saw Pei Jinhuan’s excited expression.

“Where are they right now?” Mo Yuan asked as he closed the book.

“Our men saw them gathering in the eastern district a quarter of a sichen ago. There are around two thousand Ji Army soldiers there, fully equipped,” Pei Jinhuan replied excitedly.

Mo Yuan listened to the report and pondered for a few seconds before asking, doubt lacing his tone, “They only managed to gather two thousand soldiers?”

Noticing the doubt in his voice, Pei Jinhuan said, “Brother Mo, with how well we have treated the Ji Army soldiers these few days, it’s already surprising that those generals managed to gather two thousand men. I guess the ones who joined them are either stupid, greedy, or overconfident.”

Hearing this, Mo Yuan asked again, “Do you know what they are going to do by gathering there?”

Rubbing his chin, Pei Jinhuan replied, “I’m not sure. It’s quite a bold move for them to gather like that in public. It seems they are afraid that we didn’t know they were coming.”

Seeing that Mo Yuan didn’t respond, Pei Jinhuan asked, “Brother Mo, should we deal with them now?”

Mo Yuan glanced out the window and saw that the sky had darkened. Standing up, he picked up his sword and said, “A dark night without wind. It’s a perfect time to kill.”

When Pei Jinhuan heard this, he shuddered and thought, ‘Although I have known Brother Mo since we joined the Feng Army years ago, I still can’t get used to his cold personality.’

Snapping out of his thoughts, Pei Jinhuan saw Mo Yuan walk out of the room and hurriedly chased after him. “Brother Mo, wait for me!”

Meanwhile, in the eastern district of Xiquan City, the generals stood before their neatly lined-up soldiers.

Clenching his fists, the tallest general said, “Out of sixty thousand Ji Army soldiers, only two thousand gathered here. Those white-eyed wolves! Just wait! When we take over the supplies and this city, this general will personally kill them all!”

Hearing his angry words, another general frowned. “Enough! We will talk about that after we deal with Mo Yuan and the Feng Army.”

Though dissatisfied at being scolded, the tallest general held his tongue.

Facing the two thousand soldiers, the second general shouted, “The Feng Army has taken our home and forced our families to work for them! If we don’t stand up, we will become their slaves! Brothers, it’s time to take back our city and our freedom!”

Raising his sword, he roared, “Who will come with this general?!”

The soldiers raised their weapons and shouted in unison, “Take back our city and our freedom! Take back our city and our freedom! Take back our city and our freedom!”

Seeing their morale rise, the generals exchanged glances, drew their swords, and mounted their warhorses.

Leading the charge, the tallest general shouted, “Kill the Feng Army!”

Following him, the other generals and soldiers rushed toward the Feng Army’s barracks while shouting, “Kill the Feng Army!”

As their voices echoed through the streets, the common people hid in their houses and locked their doors, praying that the Feng Army would end the chaos quickly.

Standing on the top floor of the watchtower, Mo Yuan was speechless as he looked at the dust rising in the distance.

“…” Are these people stupid? They clearly had a numerical and equipment disadvantage, yet instead of a sneak attack, they charged directly into the enemy’s camp.

Standing beside him, Pei Jinhuan was also speechless. “…”

After a long silence, he muttered in disbelief, “No, seriously. Are these people stupid? I thought they would at least sneak attack us, but look at them. They are charging straight in without any plans. Do they eat their brains when they are starving?”

Hearing this, Mo Yuan glanced at Pei Jinhuan and silently agreed.

While the two of them were baffled by the Ji Army generals’ intelligence, the tallest general spotted them from afar.

“Mo Yuan is there! Whoever takes his head will be rewarded handsomely!” he shouted, greed and ambition flickering in his eyes.

When the soldiers heard that, their blood boiled and their morale soared. “Kill! Kill! Kill!”

Watching from the watchtower, Pei Jinhuan muttered, “…. These people… Did they really think they could defeat us?”

Mo Yuan glanced at him and said, “Never underestimate your enemies, no matter how weak they seem.”

Hearing that, Pei Jinhuan coughed lightly and replied, “I know, I know. I was just saying.”

As the two calmly observed the Ji Army from above, the Ji Army’s generals noticed that only twenty soldiers stood about twenty meters from the garrison’s entrance.

Thinking that Mo Yuan was underestimating them, the tallest general gritted his teeth in anger and humiliation.

‘Bastard! How dare he look down on this general!’

Furious with the humiliation, the tallest general grabbed his bow and loaded an arrow. Drawing the bowstring tight, he aimed at Mo Yuan.

A moment later, he released it.

Swish—!

Seeing the incoming arrow, Mo Yuan calmly raised his sword and used its scabbard to deflect it.

Ding! Thud!

Without much surprise, the arrow stabbed into one of the watchtower’s wooden pillars.

Witnessing how easily Mo Yuan deflected the arrow, the tallest general gritted his teeth and grabbed three more arrows. Pulling the bow to its limit, he released them all at once.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

As the arrows flew toward him, Mo Yuan took a step back, drew his sword, and slashed horizontally at perfect timing.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

In one smooth motion, all three arrows were cut cleanly in half and fell to the ground.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

Sitting on his warhorse, the tallest general’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Impossible! How could he cut the arrows so easily?! What kind of sword is that?!”
