Volume 5 Chapter 110
by Need_More_SleepVolume 5 + Chapter 110: A Direct Advance
“Charge!!”
“Defeat the White Night Sect Leader!”
“Purge the corrupt from the court, eliminate the traitors!”
Fenghua led the Restoration Army in a full-scale charge across the battlefield.
The soldiers of the Restoration Army fought with unparalleled ferocity.
Because just ahead lay the capital of Fox Hills, once it was taken, the war of restoration would essentially be won.
During this period, Yue Liu had abandoned the steady strategy of gradually eroding the northern territories, instead choosing the most aggressive approach, breaking through at full speed and marching directly toward the capital.
This strategy had raised doubts within the Restoration Army. Even Fenghua and Bai Yang had questioned it, suggesting it would be better to capture more cities, stockpile resources, and wait until spring next year to launch a decisive battle, thus ensuring absolute victory.
However, Yue Liu stood firm in her decision. She wanted to defeat the enemy as soon as possible and had no intention of dragging the war through the winter.
Though others held differing opinions, they ultimately obeyed the order to advance.
The entire Restoration Army became like a sharpened spear, tearing through the White Night Sect’s defenses and driving deep into their heartland.
At last, on this very day, they reached the outskirts of the capital.
Once the capital was reclaimed, everything would be settled.
“Rose Staff, manifest!”
Standing atop a mountain peak, Xia Yi looked down upon the battlefield and summoned her staff into her hand.
She chanted draconic incantations, pouring vast amounts of magic into the staff. Dark clouds gathered overhead, churning with blazing white lightning.
“Lightning Storm!”
Like massive serpents, bolts of lightning descended from the clouds, striking the capital’s walls. Thousands of arcs of lightning not only shattered the defensive magic but also demolished the walls themselves.
“That’s Dragon Clan magic, the Silver Dragon Princess is supporting us!”
Charging alongside the soldiers, Fenghua shouted loudly across the battlefield.
“Don’t miss this opportunity! Before they can rebuild their magical defenses, break into the capital!!”
“Kill!!!”
Like a surging tide, the Restoration Army flooded into the capital, weapons in hand, clashing in close combat with the defending forces.
“Her Highness’s magic is incredible!”
Elly gazed toward the frontlines in the distance, unable to hide her admiration.
“It feels like we won’t even need to step in anymore.”
“Indeed. The foxfolk Restoration Army alone is enough to defeat the capital’s defenders.”
“The defenders don’t seem to have any will to fight, they don’t even look like they’re trying to win.”
“Pathetically weak.”
Members of the Dragon Clan delegation voiced their opinions one after another.
“This should be the final battle, right? With Her Highness’s actions, this entire nation has been overturned…”
Karami spoke as he looked toward Xia Yi.
He noticed she didn’t appear happy at all, which struck him as odd.
“Your Highness, what’s wrong?”
“Karami, don’t you find this strange?” Xia Yi said.
“Strange in what way?”
“According to Fox Radish, the White Night Sect Leader is a high-tier king-level being, on par with the Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor. If he truly intended to fight, how could my spell just now have so easily shattered the capital’s magical defenses?”
Xia Yi felt something was off.
To put it plainly, it had all gone far too smoothly.
Aside from the first battle, where Yue Liu faced Bai Yang with some difficulty, every other fight had been a complete rout.
There hadn’t even been a single worthy opponent.
“Well…”
Karami couldn’t come up with an explanation either.
“Maybe the foxfolk are just that weak!” Elly said casually. “Otherwise, why have they always relied on tricks instead of confronting us dragons head-on all these years?”
“That’s not impossible, but…”
As Xia Yi spoke, she began walking forward.
“Your Highness, where are you going?” Elly asked.
“I want to help the Restoration Army take the capital as quickly as possible and end this war,” Xia Yi replied.
“Indeed, Your Highness’s decision is absolutely correct! In such a crucial battle, our Dragon Clan must also achieve results, only then will we have greater influence!”
Karami expressed strong agreement.
“Everyone, let us follow Her Highness into battle!”
“Yes!!”
The members of the Dragon Clan delegation unleashed their true forms, transforming into massive dragons and soaring toward the battlefield.
…
…
“It’s Princess Yue Liu, she’s returned!!”
“Princess Yue Liu, please save us!”
“The Fox God must have heard our prayers and sent Her Highness back to destroy the White Night Sect!”
Yue Liu led her forces straight into the capital, advancing without resistance.
The foxfolk civilians within the city gathered spontaneously, welcoming her return.
In their eyes, the shrine maiden of the Red Fox God had finally come back!
The last time she left the capital, she had fled in disgrace.
Now, after some time, she had returned at the head of an army, majestic and triumphant, her pride fully restored.
“Eradicate all White Night Sect followers! Clear the path to the royal palace, rescue my father from the Sect Leader’s control!!”
Yue Liu raised her weapon and pointed toward the foxfolk royal palace, shouting with fury.
“Victory is right before us!”
At once, the morale of the Restoration Army soared.
Upon seeing Yue Liu’s return, the palace guards of the foxfolk laid down their weapons, some even took the initiative to open the gates of the royal palace.
“You damned soldiers, what are you doing?! Why are you letting the enemy in, ah!!” shouted a high-ranking White Night Sect follower in rage.
Slash!
Before he could finish, countless ice blades rained down from the sky, cutting down a large number of White Night Sect members.
Yue Liu looked up and saw a familiar figure.
A silver-haired dragon girl leapt down from the back of a green dragon, landing beside the little fox.
“My destined rival, you’ve come!” Yue Liu smiled. “Come with me. Let us go and face the White Night Sect Leader together!”
“Mm.”
Xia Yi nodded at her.
Together, they passed through the gates of the foxfolk royal palace.
Along the way, the enemies that appeared were nothing more than rabble, easily defeated.
The White Night Sect followers fled in panic, scattering like monkeys from a fallen tree. Not a single one stepped forward to organize a proper resistance, they only cared about escaping in terror.
These insignificant foes were left to Bai Yang and Fenghua to deal with. Yue Liu’s priority was to find the Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor and defeat the White Night Sect Leader, bringing the war to an end.
With the support of others, Yue Liu and Xia Yi swiftly arrived at the grand hall of the foxfolk royal palace.
As they stepped inside, they saw a figure seated upon the throne at the far end of the hall…
As if he had been waiting for them all along.
“You… have finally arrived.”
