I Heard I've Been Dead For Thousand Years

Chapter 787 - Beheading and Capturing the King

On the city tower of Tianqi City, Wang Zhen is supervising the battle, overlooking the entire battle.

A man dressed in civilian court clothes came out from the side and reported to Wang Zhen.

"Lord Wang, it's time for morning court. His Majesty said you must come today no matter what!"

Wang Zhen, dressed in full military attire, nodded silently, reached out his hand and shouted to the side.

"Get me a Hundred-Year Bow!"

"Yes!"

In a short while, a large bow nearly half a zhang long and short was handed over to Wang Zhen, and a civilian with a moustache and wearing court clothes came to report to him, smiling bitterly.

"Is Lord Wang going to kill the enemy himself? You should stop joking with me and go with me to the court meeting. Don't waste time. Even if you do, the accuracy of the bow is still a problem."

"Huh!"

Wang Zhen raised his hand to pull the bow with a muffled grunt, his forehead veins exposed and his face reddened, apparently with great effort.

The so-called Hundred-Foot Bow, which is a bow that can shoot a hundred feet with one arrow, is the best kind of bow and arrow among the military equipment.

The Hundred-Foot Bow was mostly used by the archers and commanders in the army, but it was only a ten-foot bow for the ordinary archers.

As for special bows and arrows such as the Taicang bow that the first master of archery today, Eagle Eye Wang Xie, is equipped with, they are not included in this range.

The most popular story of Wang Xie's is the "Thousand Miles Archery" in Jianghu. It is said that when he drew his bow and shot an arrow at the Jade Peak Pass, he shot down the world's fastest bird, the sky-watching Xintian You, from a thousand miles away.

Wang Zhen, who was born as a civil servant, could not even pull a bow of a hundred feet, and his attainments in archery were very different from Wang Xun's. At that time, Wang Zhen's arms were shaking and he was able to shoot the arrow.

At this time, Wang Zhen shook his arms for a while before he held the bow steady and aimed it at Long Huying, who was standing below with many archers, drawing and shooting his bow, and said coldly.

"Although I was born as a civil servant, and my cultivation is in the realm of Earth Traveler, I can still pull this hundred-meter bow, though it is hard to pull it."

"You see, the following one standing in the bow troop, the handsome and unusual-looking man with sickly pale skin, is the leader of the band of rebels, Long Huying, and I'm going to shoot him a good arrow today!"

The civil official in court dress looked down for a while at the news, but Long Huying, who was dressed in standard armor, was just like an ordinary soldier, and he couldn't find Long Huying among the many bowmen.

He saw Wang Zhen's bowstring vibrate, and an arrow was shot at Long Huying with a fierce cracking sound.

As soon as the arrow was fired, Wang Zhen gave a loud order.

"All archers, shoot in unison at the enemy's archers' line in the direction of U.S.S. 3!"

After the Cloud Piercing Arrow, an overwhelming rain of arrows shot in the direction of Long Huying.

Lin Meng, who was charging forward, looked up at the direction these arrows were pointing, and his heart suddenly burst out in dismay.

"No good, I can't stop it!"

Lin Meng anxiously reined in his horse and turned back toward Long Huying's direction.

At this time, Long Huying also noticed that the rain of arrows was coming toward him and immediately ordered the group of archers to retreat with him.

But people could not run faster than arrows.

Long Huying and the archers did not have time to run before the rain of arrows flew in.

The eagle-eyed Wang Yi, who was the best archer in the world, had a sharp eye, and with his Taicang bow in his hand, he intercepted Wang Zhen's first arrow towards Long Huying in the air and shot it into two parts.

But there was nothing the king could do about the rain of arrows.

"Protect His Majesty!"

I don't know who among the group of archers who were fleeing in panic to avoid the rain of arrows following Long Hye-young shouted and the rest responded.

"Protect His Majesty!"

This group of archers fearlessly pressed down on Long Huying like a stacked lohan, using their own body armor and flesh and blood to block Long Huying's arrows, forming a human barrier.

One round of arrows rained down, and all the archers who jumped on Long Huyoung to block the arrows lost their lives, and Long Huyoung was only shot in the shin by a fish that escaped the net.

Before the second rain of arrows came, the veteran general Qi Xuan Wang Qi Wei, who was sitting at the center of the army, immediately gave an order.

"Quickly drag His Majesty out and bring him to the middle army to heal his wounds!".

Wang Zhen, who saw that Long Huying was still alive on the Tianqi City Tower, gave a cold grunt of dissatisfaction and turned around to follow the civil official to leave for the morning court.

At that moment, a commander in armor suddenly jumped on Wang Zhen's body with a shout.

"Your Excellency, be careful!"

"Whoosh!"

The arrow had arrived, but the sound of the arrow was half a beat too slow.

When Wang Zhen, who was pounced on and staggered, came back to his senses, he saw that the armoured commander who had jumped on him to block the arrow for himself had his whole head pierced by a feathered arrow and was nailed to the pillar of the city tower, even if he wore a helmet.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

Wang Zhen, still in shock, looked in the direction of the arrow's tail toward the person who shot the arrow.

He saw a mighty, one-eyed man with a white long bow in his hand, looking coldly at him from among Long Huying's allied troops of the four continents.

Wang Zhen shivered all over his body, and his gaze made him as cold as the netherworld.

Wang Zhen, a civil official, had never experienced such a moment of life and death, and almost fell to the ground as his legs went limp.

If it wasn't for the commander who blocked the arrows for him, he would have been the one whose head was nailed to the tower and couldn't be removed.

It was only now that Wang Zhen realized what a big taboo he had made.

Long Huyoung had always had the best archer in the world on his side, and it was easy to take his life, but he had never used such a sneak attack to behead him.

But he was so arrogant and cocky that he thought he had seized a golden opportunity to eliminate Long Huyoung in one fell swoop and shot arrows at his opponent in an attempt to behead him!

Wang Zhen had already understood that if he dared to climb the city tower again, Wang's arrows would instantly pierce his head.

That look in his eyes already said it all; there was only absolute coldness and pure killing intent in Wang's eyes.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang! Are you okay? Say something! Don't scare me. If you get scared, how can I explain to His Majesty?"

The civil official in court dress supported Wang Zhen and called out a few times without response.

Wang Zhen's brain was blank and hazy from the shock, but he nodded his head slightly after a while.

"It's fine, I'm fine, let's go to see His Majesty and go to the morning court!"

Wang Zhen held on to the wall and just wanted to go down the steps of the city tower, but a flippant foot rolled down, fortunately protected by a military uniform, otherwise it would have been necessary to fall and break his face.

"Oops! Lord Wang! It's the fault of my servant, I didn't hold you steady, so please don't blame your servant if you are generous.

The civil official was anxious and hurriedly ran down to support Wang Zhen, but Wang Zhen waved his hand to indicate that he did not have to support himself.

After crawling on the ground for a while, he slowly held on to the wall and stood up by himself little by little, still stumbling over his own feet.

The civilian officer, seeing the situation, gave a wink to his lieutenant general and called him to his ear, whispering.

"I'll take a carriage to the palace with Sir Wang to pay my respects to him, and the doctor will take a look at him on the way.

The deputy general took the order and went to do it, and the civil official hurriedly went to support Wang Zhen. chaptere
