Loser System and Berserker Me

Chapter 208: Yes, We’re Attacking Our Allies

“Darned grandson.”

“Yes, my son?”

“Tell me honestly. Are you an evil god here to devour this world? This doesn’t make sense!”

Miazova was suffering a mental breakdown.

Shu Yichao and Miazova were standing in the middle of the desert, and an incomparably huge army was gathered in front of them. This was also what Miazova struggled to make sense of.

What in the world happened?!

Miazova was planning to teleport to Beiting with just Shu Yichao. It was a risky maneuver to leave their army behind, but with Shu Yichao’s necromancy ability, he should be able to swiftly raise a huge army of undead after a few minor battles.

But what was this?

Miazova had no idea how it happened, but it had somehow teleported Shu Yichao and his entire army to Beiting!

Teleportation was, by no means, an omnipotent spell. Given its mana, there was no way it could have teleported so many people to such a distant place.

Yet, the impossible had been realized.

Bloody hell! Has Shu Yichao begun devouring this world’s laws too?

Yes, that has to be the case. This grandson of mine must be the incarnate of an evil god.

“Why are you going mental on me?” Shu Yichao was baffled by Miazova’s outburst.

Isn’t it normal in Beacons of the Otherworld for the troops to be teleported alongside their commander?

Just then…

Tak tak tak tak!

The sound of horse hooves echoed from afar.

Shu Yichao glanced at the minimap—moving red dots.

…

I’ll be reaching soon!

The Uyghur chief envoy whipped his steed. He had already prepared his speech.

Hmph, why did these Tangs arrive so late? They must have intentionally done it to make a laughingstock out of our khan.

Those lowly critters. I’ll put that Anxi Protectorate-General in place later on! I’ll make him kneel and beg me for mercy. If he doesn’t compensate me well…

Hmph.

The chief envoy was excited at the thought of the little fortune he would soon make.

“Those Tangs over there, listen well! You better—AH?!”

The Uyghur chief envoy was shocked by what he saw amidst the sandstorm.

My gosh. What are those things?!

Humongous armored war elephants snorted hot breaths through their long snout, looking like mobile metal fortresses. The ghost horsemen flew in the sky like deities from the high heaven. Terracotta warriors mounted on lions stood in formation, their killing intent palpable.

And surrounding them was a fog made of countless snickering, skull-faced specters.

It looked as if Ksitigarbha had returned to the mortal world with countless ghosts!

Is this the Anxi army?! This is different from what I heard in the rumors!!!

“Ah, this…”

The Uyghur envoys halted out of fear. Just as they were hesitating about whether they should approach or not…

Psh!

Blood splattered from their bodies, and their corpses fell off their steeds.

Shu Yichao lowered his metal whip.

“…” Miazova eyed the deceased. “They are envoys. Shouldn’t you at least hear them out?”

“What’s the point?”

“Violent as always, I see.”

…

In the Uyghur camp…

“It’s been a while now. Why is there no news?!”

The Chongde Khan was as nervous as an ant on a searing pot lid. His army had been pushed back again and again, but the envoys he had dispatched were still nowhere to be seen.

“Wait!”

The Chongde Khan suddenly thought of a possibility.

“Are those bastards busy extorting the Anxi Protectorate-General?!”

“Surely not!” His aides exchanged glances. “They wouldn’t do that in this urgent situation…”

“Why not?!” the Chongde Khan roared. “Do you think I don’t know my men? We’re all carved from the fucking same mold!”

Khan, did you accidentally insult yourself too?

The aides exchanged looks.

“They’re back!” one of the aides exclaimed in excitement upon spotting someone rushing over on horseback.

But the person was not an envoy they had dispatched but a messenger, and he had come with terrible news.

“Khan, the Tangs have begun their attack!”

The Chongde Khan rushed to a vantage point, tipped-toed, and looked in the distance. After rubbing his eyes, he realized that he was unable to see anything other than dust clouding the world.

So, he anxiously urged the mage beside him, “Quick, quick! Cast the spell on me!”

The mage hurriedly passed a potion over, which the Chongde Khan gulped down right away. The Chongde Khan murmured a few chants and squinted his eyes.

Amidst the raging sandstorm, he spotted fluttering crimson Tang flags!

…

“Shit, the Tangs are here! Flanks! Make sure to protect our flanks!”

It was only when they heard rumbles from their flanks that the Tibetans, much to their horror, realized that they had come under a pincer attack.

“Let the new ones show what they are capable of.” Shu Yichao ordered the war elephants to charge at the enemy formation.

Miazova cast Wrathful Gale on the hundreds of armored war elephants, allowing those slow-moving behemoths to charge at the panicking Tibetan army’s formation with unstoppable momentum.

It was also around then that the Tibetans realized that something was amiss.

“Wait, what are those things?!”

“Monsters! The Tangs have monsters!”

There was no way the Tibetan army stood a chance against the devastating charge of the armored war elephants. Their formation was gouged through, and their soldiers were crushed into minced meat.

It was a massacre.

“Hooray!”

“Long live the Khan!”

The overjoyed Uyghur army embarked on their counterattack.

“HAHAHA!” The Chongde Khan burst into laughter. “Heaven is on my side!”

“Congratulations, khan!”

With victory assured, the Chongde Khan’s aides quickly rushed forward to bootlick him, offering all sorts of compliments.

“Mmhm.” The Chongde Khan magnanimously accepted the crowd’s well wishes. He then turned to one of his military commanders and ordered, “Send a few people to the Anxi army to question them why they arrived so late. Hmph, they better give me a satisfactory explanation, or else…”

The Chongde Khan’s words trailed off when he noticed his military commanders stiffening in horror.

“Khan, something is amiss!”

The Chongde Khan hurriedly turned his head around, and his eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.

The Tangs’ armored war elephants, despite having decimated the Tibetan army, showed no signs of slowing. They had gone in a circle and now were charging toward their Uyghur army’s formation.

The Uyghurs didn’t expect the Anxi army to fail to distinguish between friend and foe, attacking anyone within their line of sight. Caught off guard, the Uyghur army’s formation collapsed faster than dominoes!

The armored war elephants proceeded to slaughter their way into the weakened Uyghur camp, trampling everything that stood in their way.

It was like hundreds of dumpster trucks were laying waste on the Uyghurs!

The Uyghur army was strong. In particular, their cavalrymen had proven themselves to be a formidable force when Great Tang borrowed their army for the first time. But if one were to pit those steeds against elephants…

…the battle was obviously going to be one-sided.

“What’s the Anxi army doing?!”

“Damn it!”

“Those bastards!”

The Chongde Khan was horrified.

“Khan!” a commander advised, “You need to leave right now! You won’t be able to escape anymore if you don’t leave right now!”

Their Uyghur army was clearly no match for the Anxi army now. They would only be torn to shreds if they continued to dawdle here.

“Damn it!” The Chongde Khan clenched his teeth.

Yes, I’ll have to flee. But the least I can do is to leave some threats behind so that I don’t look too cowardly.

“Anxi Protectorate-General, is it? Just you wait! I’ll report you to the Heavenly Qaghan! Let’s go!” (T/N: The Heavenly Qaghan refers to the Tang emperor.)

But there was nowhere to escape.

The armored war elephants were just the vanguard; there was also the specter army trailing behind and the ghost horsemen covering the flanks.

The Chongde Khan soon realized that he had been surrounded.

“Where’s the Anxi Protectorate-General?!”

Witnessing the massacre of his subordinates, the Chongde Khan realized that the Anxi army had no intention of sparing anyone, so he began howling anxiously.

“It’s a misunderstanding! Let’s sit down and talk things through, all right? I apologize if our envoys have uttered nonsense that offended you. I’ll make sure to punish them!”

Pah!

A gigantified terracotta warrior fell from the sky and flattened the Chongde Khan.

This battle ended so fast that Shu Yichao wasn’t even aware of the Chongde Khan’s presence.
