Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1599

Chapter 1599: Chapter 1: The Grand Finale (Part 1)

Was it a spy from his side, or did the King of Jian deceive him?

The bright moonlight illuminated the ground...

"Whoosh—"

A feathered arrow appeared out of nowhere, piercing through a gap in the heavy shield, narrowly grazing the King’s nose, startling him into falling backward, nearly toppling the soldier holding the shield for him.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

Inside the "tortoise shell" of heavy shields, the deputy and guards rushed to support the King of Huangshan.

The King of Huangshan had no time to think, and without even getting up, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "We surrender! We surrender! I want to see the Emperor of Zhou!"

If they don’t surrender, his Huangshan army will perish here.

Surrendering... at least they can keep a life, and they will have to surrender sooner or later. It’s better to do it earlier so that fewer soldiers die, resulting in fewer widows and orphans.

Shen Liangyu didn’t expect the King of Huangshan to surrender so quickly. The archers had just been deployed, and the Bai family army had yet to fully unleash their potential, let alone reveal the true prowess of the Huying Army.

The rain of arrows stopped, and the Huangshan army laid down their weapons and surrendered.

The King of Huangshan, also emerging from the shield "tortoise shell" that had been shot full of holes, was helped to his feet, and the Huangshan army gathered in his direction...

After the unceasing arrow rain ceased, the mountain path was filled with the corpses of the Huangshan army.

On the high slope, a figure in silver armor emerged on horseback from the towering trees, holding a bow and arrow, looking down toward him.

The moonlight cast a silver frost upon her, and despite the distance, the King of Huangshan could feel the breathtaking beauty of the woman’s features, standing apart from the world in that sacred and bright light, yet appearing so high and aloof, exuding an air of nobility.

On March 26, the third year of Yuanhe, the King of Huangshan of Yan Kingdom led his troops out of the city intending to battle with Zhou, only to be ambushed on the Yuming Mountain path and suffer a crushing defeat.

On the 27th of the same month, the Dongyi Kingdom’s navy defeated Yan’s navy, landed on Yan territory, rapidly capturing two cities, and swiftly advanced toward the capital of Yan, news that quickly spread back to the capital, and everyone knew that Yan’s fate was sealed.

News of the King of Jian’s death and the King of Huangshan’s capture soon spread throughout Yan Kingdom.

The first to receive the news, the King of Yongjia, after much deliberation, understood the determination of the Emperor of Zhou to unify the world and, realizing he had no ability to resist Zhou, handed over military authority, taking his entire family with the Yan envoy to the capital, merely hoping to preserve their lives and wealth.

Within the vassal kings, the most powerful King of Xiping and King of Jian were already dead. Even if they resisted, the Emperor of Zhou would surely send troops to annihilate them. The entire Yan nation could not withstand Zhou; how long could they last? Ultimately, they might still end up with broken homes and fallen lives.

After receiving news of the King of Jian’s death and the King of Huangshan’s defeat in one night, the King of Yiling and the King of Tongqiu deliberated and decided to enter the capital of Yan together, abandoning any hopes of contending with Zhou.
