"Kill!"
The soldiers shouted in unison, charging down the hill and straight into battle. Their battlecries were full of vigor, patriotism, and vengeance.
Nearly everyone had lost a loved one to the beast wars over the past decade. Now that they knew the Song Clan stood behind it all, they were committed to killing every last one of those bastards with no remorse.
Weapons fell upon beasts and Song clansmen alike as the army crashed into the battlefield, carving a path of slaughter.
Li Huxin and the captains fought desperately against the advancing beast wave, but there were simply too many of them.
"Father!" one of his sons shouted. "Grab Li Lian—we have to retreat!"
Li Huxin frowned. He didn't understand why the Heavenly Realm cultivator had fled the moment he ordered the beasts and Song Clan forces to attack. But now, with his army fully engaged and locked in combat, retreating was no simple matter.
Still, his priority was clear.
His children came first.
