After Transmigration, I Traded a Coin for a Peerless Wife and Conquered the Chaotic World - Chapter 37:

Chapter 37: Reinforcements Have Arrived!

As soon as the blood wolf commander finished speaking, he swung his arm fiercely, releasing a surge of violent energy that sent Xu Chong flying. With a loud crash, Xu Chong slammed into the ground, blood gushing from his mouth.

“Deputy General Xu!”

Lin Feng immediately rushed forward to support Xu Chong.

“I’m fine. I can still fight!”

Their eyes met, and without regard for his injuries, Xu Chong charged at the blood wolf commander again. He knew very well that if the three of them fell today, there would be no more hope for Yan Pass.

Lin Feng gripped the Dragon Roar Blade tightly but remained still. The blood wolf commander had already seen through their tactic—Pan Feng and Xu Chong engaged him head-on to create an opening for Lin Feng to strike from behind. But he completely dismissed Lin Feng, a mere 4th stage Martial Warrior, as a threat.

A 4th stage Martial Warrior? Unworthy of facing him.

Clang!

The three clashed again. Gradually, Pan Feng and Xu Chong began to falter, their bodies covered in bruises and blood flowing freely.

At the critical moment—Lin Feng moved!

He activated the Heaven-Slaughter Blade Technique, his figure ghostly and swift as he dashed into the battlefield. His blade danced and slashed down at the blood wolf commander’s back.

The commander sneered. A 4th stage Martial Warrior dared to sneak attack him?

Even if he took the hit head-on, what could happen?

But the moment the blade landed, his expression changed.

Splash!

A spray of blood shot into the air. A massive gash, half a meter long, tore across the commander’s back, exposing bone.

“We did it!” Pan Feng shouted as he raised his axe and smashed it onto the commander’s face.

Even a 7th stage Martial Warrior couldn’t withstand such a blow. However, at that moment, the commander swung his bone club backward, striking Lin Feng square in the chest.

It felt like a mountain had slammed into him. Lin Feng flew backward like a broken kite.

“Lin Feng!”

“Protect the commander!”

Both sides charged forward without hesitation to retrieve their injured leaders and pull them back to their respective camps.

After the Yan Pass defenders carried the three men back inside, they shut the city gates tightly.

Inside the blood wolf army’s central tent, several centurions surrounded their commander. The sight of the deep, bone-revealing wound made even these brutish men tremble.

The army doctor quickly applied top-grade trauma medicine to the wound.

The blood wolf commander’s face twisted, whether from pain or humiliation at being ambushed by a mere 4th stage Martial Warrior.

One of the centurions cautiously said, “Commander, the scouts report that a Zhou reinforcement army is heading toward Yan Pass. You’re seriously injured. Perhaps we should retreat…”

“Retreat?”

The blood wolf commander sneered coldly and, without warning, smashed the centurion’s head with one punch, terrifying everyone around him.

He struggled to his feet, eyes blood-red, and shouted, “Anyone who dares speak of retreat will be executed!”

“Pass my order—continue the assault!”

“Once the city falls, kill everyone inside, regardless of age or gender! I will reduce Yan Pass to ashes!”

…

Woooooo—

As the warhorn blared again, the blood wolf army launched another fierce assault.

Inside the city, Pan Feng, Xu Chong, and Lin Feng lay against the wall, the sounds of battle echoing in their ears.

All three were severely wounded. They had fought driven by sheer willpower, and now that the adrenaline had faded, they could barely even move.

Pan Feng forced a bitter smile. “It wasn’t in vain. We killed so many of them. It was worth it.”

“Especially you, Lin Feng. That last strike was beautiful. Nearly skinned their commander alive.”

Lin Feng, knowing the city couldn’t be defended much longer, smiled with relief. “I owe it to the general for giving me the Dragon Roar Blade. It’s a pity such a fine weapon will fall into barbarian hands.”

At that moment, his thoughts drifted to his dear wife, He Caiwei.

Caiwei… I’m sorry. I can’t be with you anymore. Don’t wait for me in this life. In the next one, I’ll stay by your side from the very beginning…

BOOM!

With a deafening crash, the eastern gate burst open. Countless barbarians surged in, wielding savage blades.

The three of them propped themselves up with their weapons and stood.

If they were to die, they would die with dignity.

Just as all hope seemed lost, a rumble of hooves came from afar.

Then, someone shouted, “Reinforcements have arrived!”

The next moment, the once-arrogant blood wolf elites fled in panic like startled birds.

Outside the city, the sounds of battle surged.

The three men dragged themselves to the gate and looked out.

There stood General Yan Nantian, leading the army in person, horses thundering across the battlefield.

With overwhelming force, he swept through the blood wolf army.

After so many battles, the blood wolves were already spent. In just a few charges, nearly all the Northern Barbarian forces were annihilated.

Only a few centurions managed to help their commander escape.

“We won!”

Cheers erupted as General Yan Nantian led his army into the city.

Seeing the countless corpses of defenders and the ruined walls, even Yan Nantian felt a deep ache in his heart.

The remaining defenders gathered one by one.

Xu Chong counted the survivors. Including the wounded and crippled, only forty-three remained.

Pan Feng looked at Yan Nantian, tears streaming down his face.

“General Yan, I did not fail you. Yan Pass still stands!”

Yan Nantian knew this would be a brutal fight, but not this brutal. Tears welled in his eyes.

“Bury the fallen with honor. Heavily reward the widows of our brave warriors. Build a heroes’ monument. The Great Zhou will never forget your sacrifice today!”

His voice was hoarse with grief, yet full of pride and sorrow.

Then, his gaze fell on Lin Feng beside Pan Feng.

“Kid, I knew I wasn’t wrong about you. Well done!”

Lin Feng gave a bitter smile and muttered, “General Yan, if you’d been a bit later, it wouldn’t matter if you were wrong or not—you wouldn’t have seen me again.”

Lin Feng understood the cruelty of war. But nearly all three thousand comrades had died. How could he feel at peace?

Hearing this, Ye Kai, who stood beside Yan Nantian, growled, “Watch your tone!”

Yan Nantian waved his hand. “Don’t blame him. We were too late.”

He personally stepped forward to steady Lin Feng.

“Kid, if you have any wish, tell me. I’ll make it happen.”

Lin Feng’s chest heaved. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and said with a wry smile, “General Yan… I just want to go home…”

With that, he collapsed straight into Yan Nantian’s arms…
