Chapter 562 - Battlefield
After eating dinner, Yuan retired to his bedroom with the other two ladies.
"Good night, Brother Yuan." Chu Liuxiang said to him after snuggling close to him.
Meanwhile, Meixiu took a seat a few meters in front of the bed and started cultivating.
Although she was already a Spirit Warrior and ahead of the majority of people in the world, she didn't want to lose to Chu Liuxiang, who was a Spirit Master.
Yuan fell asleep shortly after lying on the bed, as he was incredibly tired from training today— more so than usual since he wasn't used to training with polearms.
After falling asleep, Yuan found himself in his dream once again, but he was surrounded by a thick fog that blocked all of his vision.
"What is it this time?" Yuan's initial thought was that it was something caused by the handsome man that would often appear in his dreams.
But there was no response.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Yuan felt something fly past his head, but it was too fast for him to see what that thing was.
Then he felt something dripping down his face.
Yuan subconsciously lifted his hand to wipe his face, and to his surprise, he was bleeding.
Whatever just flew past his head had scratched his face deep enough to bleed.
And before he could make sense of what happened, the fog began clearing away, revealing to Yuan his surroundings.
"T-This is…" Yuan's eyes widened when he realized that he was in a plain.
He was also surrounded by people that appeared to be soldiers, and they were all heavily geared with silver armor and a spear.
Fortunately, they didn't appear to be hostile.
However, not far away from his location, there were thousands of individuals fighting each other in what appeared to be a war zone.
There also appeared to be two different factions. One wearing silver armor like those around him and the other wearing black armor.
"General. What is your command?"
Someone there suddenly said, causing Yuan to turn to look in that direction.
Yuan's eyes widened when he saw the handsome man standing no far away from him, but there was something different about the handsome man this time.
His demeanor and the aura he emitted were completely different from the handsome man he would normally see. In fact, it felt like he was a completely different individual.
After a moment of silence, the handsome man raised the spear in his grasp and pointed it at the battlefield.
"Slay the enemies and leave none of them alive!" The handsome man commanded in a profound voice.
The people around him began roaring with excitement, and shortly after, they started rushing towards the battlefield with intense bloodlust in their gaze.
"Kill! Kill them all!"
The soldiers in silver armor shouted as they rushed into the battlefield and began slaughtering the other faction.
Meanwhile, the handsome man remained standing in his original spot.
Seeing this, Yuan approached him and asked, "Where are we?"
The handsome man turned to look at him before responding in a calm voice, "Can't you tell? We're at war."
"I can obviously see that we're at war, but why are we here? What are you trying to show me today?" Yuan asked, thinking that this was one of the handsome man's schemes.
"Today? You're acting like we have met before." The handsome man said with a mysterious smile on his face.
"What?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.
However, the handsome man didn't continue speaking after that.
Instead, he turned to look at the battlefield for a moment before rushing into it himself.
When the soldiers wearing that black armor noticed the handsome man entering the battlefield, they immediately focused on him, quickly surrounding him.
However, despite their general getting surrounded by the enemies, the soldiers in the silver armor didn't try to help the handsome man. Hell, they weren't even looking in his direction, almost like they couldn't care less about his situation.
Shortly after surrounding the handsome man, the black-armored soldiers began their assault with all of them lunging at the handsome man from all directions.
The handsome man sneered in a cold manner before swinging the silver spear in his grasp in a full circle.
WHOOSH!
A single swing of his spear created a powerful tornado that instantly consumed the people surrounding him, tearing their armors and bodies apart with ease.
The tornado quickly turned red with how many people it killed in a short time, and it would make the battlefield rain blood and mutilated corpses, creating a gruesome scene.
When the soldiers wearing the black armor saw how the handsome man slaughtered half of their army with a single strike, they immediately dropped their weapons and began fleeing.
"There's no way we can defeat such a monster!"
"I surrender! Please! Spare me!"
A few of the soldiers even started begging for mercy after seeing their army crumble.
However, the silver-armored soldiers completely ignored their enemies' pleas and used their spears to finish off their enemies without mercy.
Once the battlefield was cleared of the black-armored soldiers, the soldiers there gathered around the handsome man and started celebrating their victory.
"Hahaha! Yet another easy victory for the Silver Dragon Army!"
"We'd even given them an hour to defeat our weakest squad!"
"You're simply too powerful, General! With you by our side, we will never experience a single defeat!"
However, the handsome man wasn't celebrating, and he shouted, "It's still too early to celebrate! Until we destroy their entire army and make their lord surrender, the war is still ongoing! Hurry up and get moving!"
The soldiers immediately stopped celebrating and saluted.
"Yes, General!"
The soldiers got on their horses and began chasing after the black-armored soldiers that fled the battlefield— all the way back to their own territory.
It was at this moment Yuan woke up from his dream.
'What was that all about?' Yuan wondered to himself, as the dream was too different from his usual dreams, and even the handsome man felt like a different person.
