Ace Of Terrans



Shi Lang was at the front dealing with the so-called rebellion. During these attacks on settling the border region, the Terrans found many things and facts but did not say anything to anyone and kept these things a secret. He did not wish for many people to know about this. 

He had skills and tactics that the people from the Immortal realm did not have. Terran civilization was not only technically advanced, but they were mentally smarter too. The young man had no problem dealing with things like this. He just wished to know what he could gain from this. 

He was sitting inside the tent with his eyes closed. The people thought he was cultivating, but he was thinking. His cultivation had reached a bottleneck after he reached the golden core realm. Although he had the method, he had yet to find the time and the resources needed for the cultivation. 

Sensing someone approach, Shi Lang opened his eyes and found the girl smiling before him. He asked, "What made you happy?" 

Shi Ning replied, "A messenger has come. We are summoned to the Imperial Capital." 

Shi Lang raised his brow and said, "You sure this is something to cherish and not to be worried about?" 

His words poured down a bucket of cold water on the enthusiasm of the young lady. She asked, "Why do you say we should be wary?" 

Shi Lang stood up from the ground and said, "Did you forget about our arrangement with the fourth prince?" 

Shi Ning opened her eyes wide in realization and said, "I really forgot it. Big brother, what should we do?" 

Shi Lang patted her head and said, "Let us go to the capital and see what the people are trying to do." 

Shi Ning nodded and said, "When shall we leave?" 

Shi Lang chuckled and said, "Right away, make the arrangements and hand over the charge to Commander Ang. We cannot make the King wait. What if he got offended?" 

The girl nodded and then left the tent to make the arrangements. She has become a very good soldier in the past few days, and even her commanding abilities have exploded. Shi Lang showed her the way, and the young lady walked on it on her own. 

Shi Lang came out of the tent, and the soldiers saluted him. In this entire camp, Shi Lang held the most prestige. If he were to point at the imperial palace and order the soldiers to charge, they would not hesitate. 

The death count in the past few months did not exceed twenty people. Shi Lang always devised tactics so effectively that the soldiers almost felt invincible. The death of the twenty people made them realize the threat. If Shi Lang was to say something as outrageous as, "Let us take the capital, and I promise that you all will live to see the day of a new empire." 

These people would not hesitate for even a breath and charge straight to the Imperial palace. Shi Lang walked around the camp for a few movements before he ensured everything was in order, and then the young man came to the stable area and found Shi Ning. 

The young lady had already prepared the best war horses. The two people did not talk much and left the military camp. They did not bring carriages to ensure they moved at the fastest speed possible. However, Commander Ang had arranged for a guard detail for the two. The war horses were tenacious. They could run for three days in one go and cover a greater distance. 

Shi Lang did not exert his horse too much. It could die if this beast were pushed beyond the limit. They rested twice on the way to the city. There was nothing much to discuss, but Shi Lang did not lose his guard. He was wary of the guard detail, and even more than that, he was cautious against the movements of the two princes. 

The sun rose on the horizon, and Shi Lang spotted the entrance gate to the Imperial Capital and said, "Let's go." 

Shi Ning nodded beside him, and the two rushed forward. The two people moved and entered the city. The horses slowed down upon entering the city, and they moved quickly. The people did not say anything, and it was common for soldiers to enter and exit the city. The group moved through the city, heading to the imperial palace. The soldiers guarding the palace entrance stopped them when Shi Ning provided him with the summon. 

The guards allowed Shi Lang and Shi Ning to move inside the palace premise. The palace was majestic, and the young lady could not help but look around with great excitement. Shi Lang remarked, "Ning, do not look around like this." 

Shi Ning immediately calmed down and whispered, "Sorry, Big Brother." 

Shi Lang shook his head as they walked to the building entrance. An old eunuch seemed to have been informed earlier and was waiting for them. The old man said sharply, "I am Xie Xiaoji. His Majesty is waiting for you in the courtroom." 

The young man nodded and said, "I have seen the Chief Adjutant." 

The eunuch raised his eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean by calling me Chief Adjutant?" 

Shi Lang smiled and said, "Your grace, from where I come, the right hand of the King is a person of respect and stature. This is why we call them the chief adjutant." 

The eunuch smiled and said, "Finally, someone with some culture and manners." 

Shi Lang smiled, and then he followed the head eunuch. Shi Ning was behind him, although she greeted the old eunuch but did not say anything to the man. She was subordinate to Shi Lang. 

The young man did not say much but calmly followed the head eunuch through the palace. Soon they reached the courtroom, and the eunuch gestured for them to stop outside as he went inside and informed the King. 

The two stood beside each other, waiting, but before they could be called inside, they heard footsteps approaching them. Shi Lang whispered, "Stay calm and silent." 

His voice was so low that only Shi Ning could listen to him. The young lady nodded silently, and soon they found the guards bowing as they said, "Greetings, First Highness and Second Highness." 

The two princes have arrived rather timely. Shi Lang followed the example of the two people and greeted, "Greetings, Your Royal Highnesses." 

The two young men smiled and said, "Raise your head, Commander Shi Lang." 

Shi Lang raised his head and said, "Thank you for the grace, Your Highness." 

The first prince said, "I wonder if the commander would grace me with his presence for dinner in the LingXue Pavilion." 

The second prince was smiling and did not say anything much. He was waiting for Shi Lang to react. The terran took a moment, but before he could answer, a calm voice sounded, "Young Friend Shi, I heard of all your glory." 

The people turned around they spotted Elder Yu walking over. The two princes clasped their fists and greeted the man, "Greetings, Elder Yu." 

The elder nodded indifferently and asked, "Your Highnesses, young friend Shi did a favor on me back in his city, and now that he is here, it is my turn to repay the favor. At least for the night, I hope you two will not snatch him from me." 

Shi Lang sighed in his mind and said, "Since Elder Yu has already issued a command, I shall follow it without fail." 

Elder Yu smiled and said, "Good, good, good. Young Friend Shi you are a good man." 

The two princes wanted to say something when they heard a loud noise from inside the court. Shi Lang and Shi Ning were summoned inside. Shi Lang greeted the two people and walked inside the court with Shi Ning in tow. 

The two people stood in the center of the court and bowed to the King. Suddenly, the minister from the left side shouted, "How insolent, don't you kneel to His Majesty?" 

Shi Lang stood up and then said, "I beg your pardon. Shi Lang has never been in the presence and does not know manners." 

The left minister said, "Since you know of your reality, then why do you not kneel now?" 

Shi Lang replied calmly, "Your Majesty, I am a cultivator and a man. I can only kneel before my parents or to the might of heaven. I will not kneel even if I face death right here and now." 

The court fell silent. Shi Ning looked at the young man's visage beside her and clenched her fists. She was in awe of the vigor and pride displayed by the man. She wanted to reach this level. 

The left minister said, "Someone, come and lock him away." 

Shi Lang gazed at the left minister and said, "Is the majesty of the Left Minister bigger than the King himself?"
