The Human Emperor (200-400)

C216: Aiding Vermilion Bird Peak

Di da da!

The White-hoofed Shadow galloped swiftly across the mountain. The rugged terrain couldn’t restrain its mobility in the slightest. Despite being a colt, it possessed capabilities that most mature war steeds couldn’t compare to.

The capability of an imperial steed was clearly shown by Little Shadow.

The colt dashed through the forest and uneven terrain. Wang Chong didn’t head straight for Azure Dragon Peak or Black Tortoise Peak. He had no idea which peak Wei Hao was currently on, and trying his luck may not be the best idea.

On top of that, the peak closest to White Tiger was Vermilion Bird, and Wang Chong knew quite a few people there.

“I wonder how Marchioness Yi and the others are faring.”

Wang Chong thought.

Marchioness Yi and Wang Chong’s second sister, Wang Zhu Yan, were peers. Even though Wang Chong had been done in by the both of them in the past, those were just small pranks.

Marchioness Yi wasn’t a bad person at heart. She even specially waited at the midsection of the mountain to warn him about Zhou Jue.

The colt’s hooves pattered on the ground, racing into the distance. Soon, the deafening roar of battle cries filled the air. Lifting his gaze, Wang Chong saw a gigantic vermilion bird statue towering above the mountain aerie. Beneath the crimson-colored statue, scarlet buildings stood nestled together while bright flames illuminated the surroundings.

However, the scene was exactly different from what Wang Chong expected.

On Vermilion Bird Peak, the Goguryeons and wolves were entirely stopped a certain distance beneath the mountaintop. Not only so, a ceaseless rain of arrows kept firing from the peak, aimed at the other mountains in all directions. They were actually trading shots with the enemy master archers, and from the looks of it, they seemed to have the upper hand even.

“This is way too exaggerated!”

The night wind blew in his face, and seeing this sight from the back of his steed, Wang Chong’s eyes felt like they were about to pop from his sockets.

There were only three master archers in Kunwu Training Camp, and at maximum, there should only be one master archer present on Vermilion Bird Peak. Yet, that overwhelming rain of arrows which seemed to blanket the entire sky… It was as if there were twenty or even thirty master archers on Vermilion Bird Peak, turning the region into nothing short of an impenetrable fortress.

But this should have been impossible.

“How many monsters are there on this Vermilion Bird Peak!”

Wang Chong muttered to himself as he subconsciously thought of Marchioness Yi and the other ladies.

If there was only one master archer instructor on Vermilion Bird Peak, then without a doubt, the other master archers had to be the female recruits. Furthermore, judging from the force of the arrows, they all had to be True Martial realm experts like Marchioness Yi.

Wang Chong didn’t know much about the female recruits in the Three Great Training Camps, and he didn’t pay much of an attention to them either. However, he did know of some basic differences among the female recruits and the male recruits in the training camp.

Most of the ladies detested physical brawling, so the proportion of them choosing archery was far greater than the males.

But even so, it was just the first day of the training camp, and Wang Chong didn’t expect their archery to have reached such mastery.
