Flying Clouds in Another World

As Liu Feiyun walked down the city, he urged, "Everyone! The barbarian's rain of arrows is coming soon! If you don't have armor to protect you, you'd better hide in the houses in the city first! It won't be too late to come to the city wall to help us after we put on our armor!"

After hearing this, everyone looked outside the city. As expected, they saw that the Northern Wilderness soldiers had completely withdrawn from the valley outside the city. Now, a group of barbarian soldiers holding swords and axes and carrying ladders on their shoulders were pouring towards the city in the middle of the valley. On both sides of the valley, two teams of archers were also slowly advancing forward.

However, the valley was too narrow. In most places, no more than ten people could walk side by side, and there were many places where only one or two people could pass through. This cold wind outlet was built at the southern end of the valley. Although it was slightly wider near the valley, the area under the city gate where ladders could be placed was only a few feet wide. Soon the ladders were approaching the city wall, and the archers began to draw their bows and shoot arrows.

At first, the arrows shot from under the city were sparse, but soon they became denser and denser, turning into a continuous rain of arrows.

For a moment, only the armored soldiers were left on the city wall firing back with bows and crossbows, while the rest of the people retreated into the city to hide.

After getting off the city wall and leaving the range of the barbarian arrow rain, Liu Feiyun came to the warehouse where the spare armor was stored. He saw Liu Xiyao who was being helped by the female guards to put on the armor. However, Liu Xiyao was still a little thin. Not to mention the iron armor of the Iron Guards, even the smallest leather armor of the rural soldiers could not be properly put on. The anxious little girl burst into tears.

When Liu Feiyun saw this, he immediately got angry. He stepped forward and snatched the helmet from the little girl's hand, yelling, "You damn girl! Why are you still here! Didn't I tell you to go home and report the news? What are you doing here? Hurry up and leave!"

The little girl's eyes were red and tears were falling. Now that she was yelled at, her tears flowed even faster! She cried and said, "I knew you wouldn't leave now, brother!... Woohoo... I want to stay and help you!... Woohoo... I'm not a child anymore!... I'm already a cultivator!... I can help you!... Woohoo!..."

"Help me!?... How old are you... Cultivator Realm!... Is being a Cultivator Realm so great? You will only cause trouble for me if you stay here! It will distract me! You want to help me! Wait until you are a few years older and reach the Cultivator Realm! Deputy Commander Luo, you must strip her armor and take her away! If she refuses, tie her up! Knock her unconscious! You must take her away! Hurry up! Do you want me to do it myself?"

Deputy Commander Luo of the Xiliu Female Guard, who was also the only master among the female guards present, saw that the prince, who was usually kind to his servants, was rarely angry. He could only grit his teeth and forcibly strip off the loose armor that Liu Xiyao was only wearing half of.

Liu Feiyun no longer cared about the crying and making a fuss Liu Xiyao, but walked a few steps to the dozens of sets of armor he brought with him, and introduced them to Gu Qingya and the others who followed him: "This is a super simplified version of the spiritual armor that I made based on the spiritual armor formation knowledge I learned in the Miyun Sect's Kui Tian Pavilion. Of course, you can also regard them as a more advanced ordinary battle armor! Now please make do with them for now!"

Gu Qingya's eyes lit up, and she came to a set of armor and looked at it carefully, but she couldn't find any difference between these armors and other ordinary armors except for the shape. The guards she brought with her, especially the old woman, also looked puzzled after seeing the armor.

"Haha! The material of these armors is just ordinary iron armor, and the crystal array is much smaller than the real spiritual armor. If you don't look carefully, you won't find anything. Moreover, these armors are divided into several sets, each set is different and has its own characteristics! Senior Sister Qingya! This venerable senior! These sets are armors specially for women, and the crystal arrays are arranged larger and more. You two can try it!"

"Oh! There are also armors for women!?"

"There's no other way! I have too few martial artists now. Their cultivation is not high, and their combat power is not strong. Men and women alike have to make do with what they have. I can only think of ways to seek help from external forces!" Liu Feiyun smiled bitterly.

Then, he said to Song Tao who followed him: "You should also immediately count how many people are left who are able to fight, and have them put on their armor and prepare to defend the city! As for the wounded, you should also prepare to send them away immediately! Also, call those who have been rotated in, and send as many armored soldiers as possible. As for those without armor, withdraw them all from the city!"

Song Tao responded quickly, "Yes, sir! But! Of the dozens of people who came to Huanming Valley this time, most of them have died in the battle! There are also several seriously injured! The remaining people who can fight, except for the Tiemu brothers, are only about ten people! With just the few of us! How much use can we have! I think! Let's retreat first!"

"Hmm... retreat!? I mean escape! Are you scared?"

"No! Young Master! I, Song Tao, have killed people since I was eleven years old. I have been on the brink of death several times in the past few years! How can I be afraid of death! But! The Liu family cannot live without you! You can't put yourself in danger!"

"Alright, alright! No one's life is naturally precious! At least in the eyes of the King of Hell, everyone is equal! Wealth and honor are determined by fate! Life and death are determined by God! There is no need to be afraid of this or that! Go, go! Hurry up and work! The people of the Northern Wilderness will not give us too much time! Those who need to put on armor should put on armor, and those who need to retreat should retreat quickly! Don't delay!"

As Liu Feiyun spoke, he began to put on his armor with the help of a young man from Huanming Valley.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Liu Feiyun, Song Tao had no choice but to leave the armor warehouse to command and dispatch personnel.

As soon as Song Tao left, He Qingqing pulled Liu Xiyao, who had taken off her armor and still had tears on her face, to Liu Feiyun. Behind them, the Gao siblings, who had been hiding somewhere before, also came over with pale faces.

"Brother! Xiyao listens to you! I'll go home and tell you! Let daddy send a large army to support you! Don't worry, brother! I won't be willful anymore! I must practice hard like you in the future! Wait until I grow up in a few years! I learn real skills! When I'm as strong as sister Qingqing! I'll come to help you! Brother... wuwuwu... I'm leaving!" The little girl started crying again as she spoke! Finally, she stomped her feet, gritted her teeth, and ran out crying!

The female guards didn't even bother to greet Liu Feiyun and say goodbye, and hurriedly chased after him.

"The little girl is quite sensible! She stopped making trouble after a few words of persuasion! But you, as her brother, are a little too harsh!" He Qingqing chuckled.

Seeing the familiar yet strange smile, Liu Feiyun's heart was moved again: no matter which world she is in! Her smile is so beautiful.

However, an untimely tremor interrupted the beautiful memories that Liu Feiyun was about to awaken.

"Prince! This... this cold wind... mouth! Can we really not defend... defend... defend it anymore?"

Gao Jinda tried to remain calm, but still asked stutteringly.
