Guigou looked at the Royal City in front of him, deep in thought.
The Royal City, as expected of the Royal City.
It was like an ancient giant beast lying there. Even if it didn't make a sound, one could still feel its powerful and majestic aura. It was as if it would swallow everyone and everything that came here in the next moment. There was a sense of urgency in the air that suppressed everything. Those who came here for the first time couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
Because of the slave masters and Zheng Luo's description, Guigou had never liked the people here, especially those from the Royal City. He hated them. But he had to admit that the Royal City was indeed huge. It was not comparable to the cities they passed by on their way here. There was always a reason to be strong. Logically speaking, as the leader of a tribe, Guigou had to learn from this experience.
"This is the Royal City."
There were many people who had the same thought as Guigou. Many of them thought that the Flaming River Trading Point was already big enough. It was beyond their imagination. It was the biggest trading point they had ever seen in their lives. But now, they realized that they did not know how big the world was until they came here.
Guigou finally understood why Shao Xuan asked them to come to the Royal City. If they didn't come here, many of the Yanjiao people who were already full of themselves would not recognize reality. It was better to let them see it for themselves. Most of the people who came this time were born and raised on the other side of the continent. There was still a gap between them and Zheng Luo's group. They had learned a lot from this trip.
Yanjiao was moving too fast. Many people's ambitions could not keep up with their willpower. After they woke up, they still had a long way to go.
"Can our Flaming River Trading Point reach this scale in the future?" Ao asked.
"Our Grand Elder said we can," Tuo said confidently. The trading point was in the process of expansion. As the Flaming River Alliance continued to expand, the trading point would continue to expand. Although they also wanted to expand to the size of King City in one go, overestimating themselves would create a feeling of exaggeration. It was better to be solid and steady. The shamans had all said that military force, population, and the will of the people were all things that had to be considered. Even if he could not see that day, he believed that the day of Yanjiao would come.
Guigou smirked. "That's good. I think so too." With that said, he raised his arm and swung it down.
Crackle —
In front of the Royal City, on the open plains, six totem flags were carried forward in a row, fluttering in the wind.
Why six totem flags?
Back then, there were only three flags in Chao Qiu Cheng: Yanjiao's Double Horn Totem Flag, the Flaming River Alliance's Dragon Flag, and the Longboat tribe's Totem Flag. But this time, on the way to the Royal City, the Hui tribe, Mang tribe, and Eight Limbs tribe had gathered together and thought about it. No matter how they thought about it, they felt that they had lost out. Although not many of their tribes came this time, this was a good opportunity to use Yanjiao's power to make their presence known. It would be a pity to give it up.
However, the totem flag was not something that could be easily made. In the end, they thought of a compromise. They would not draw the totem flag in the name of their tribe, but in the name of a small group of people. There would be a difference in the production of the totem flag, but the slave masters and tribesmen here did not understand the rules of the tribes on the other side of the sea. As long as they let others see the totem flag, they would know that people from this tribe had come here before. It would not be in vain for them to come here with the Flaming Horns.
Ta held the Yanjiao totem flag and poked the flagpole into the ground. With a "bang", a large amount of dust and grass flew up from the ground. He let go of the flag, and the totem flag quietly stood on the ground.
Stretching his arms, Ta and Ao silently communicated with each other. As a team leader who led hunting teams into the forest all year round, Ta could clearly feel the hostility from the city gate. It would not be easy for them to enter the city gate of King City.
Was he afraid?
Of course not!
After stretching his arms, Ta grabbed the flagpole again and pulled it out from the ground.
The sound of the totem flag hitting the ground had also brought everyone back to their senses from the shock of seeing King City. However, at this moment, when they saw the totem flag fluttering in the wind, they no longer had any fear in their hearts.
Was the Royal City scarier than the Fearsome Beast Forest? They were not afraid of the Fearsome Beast Forest, so what was there to be afraid of in the Royal City? Plus, they all believed that one day, the Flaming River Trading Point would surpass the Royal City. Wherever the two horns pointed, they would succeed!
Perhaps it was because of the change in the Yanjiao people's mentality and morale, the other tribesmen also gradually adjusted their mentality.
Indeed, what was there to be afraid of? Plus, if anything happened, the Yanjiao people would take the lead.
The horn from the city gate sounded after a long howl. The people at the city gate had already begun to move. The Royal City guards' armour glowed with a golden light.
Seeing this, many people followed their leaders forward while stretching their arms and legs. The swords, axes, and hammers in their hands seemed to be thirsty for blood. Some people even roared excitedly as they moved forward. Looking at their posture, those who didn't know better would think that they were really going to attack the city.
Actually, it wasn't just the tribesmen who were shocked by the Royal City. The Royal City guards were also shocked by these people. Looking at the approaching group, they couldn't help but feel a layer of goosebumps. Even though there were many people in this group who might not be as strong as them in terms of martial prowess, at this moment, in this place, these people seemed to have twisted together into an aura that could sweep away a thousand soldiers in an instant! On this continent, perhaps only a trained army or a few tribes that lived far away in the mountains could achieve such a feat. This was the advantage of these tribesmen who had just merged with their fire seed. They were united and the influence of their fire seed was still present.
Among the guards at the city gate, Luming looked at the approaching group and gulped.
So many people?!
And where were the others from? Didn't they say only Yanjiao? Why were there so many flags with totems? If they didn't borrow the power of the Royal City, with just the Lu family and the Fox people, even if they could win, it would not be easy.
The Lu family was still hesitating, but the Fox people were already thinking of retreating. Even though the Yanjiao tribesmen only knew Shao Xuan, they were familiar with Yanjiao's fire seed aura and style. That was why when they saw the numbers, the cunning Fox tribesmen did not want to fight head-on. The Lu family should be the one to deal with the Flaming Horn tribe. It was a difficult task.
The armoured youth on the city gate tower looked at the approaching group and hesitated. He did not go down to greet them. It wasn't that he didn't dare, he just wanted to observe the situation first. Remembering his brother Ji Fang's words, the armoured youth searched the approaching group but did not find the person he was looking for.
Where was Yanjiao's Shao Xuan?
They said they were here to negotiate with Yanjiao. The most important person was Yanjiao's Shao Xuan. If not for Shao Xuan, Ji Fang would not be so afraid of Yanjiao.
Just as he was thinking, the cry of an eagle came from the sky.
It was not the ones in the sky, but an eagle flying from another direction. It swooped down towards the group heading for the city gate.
A figure jumped down from the eagle's back and landed at the front of the group.
The armored youth on the city gate tower noticed that when that person appeared, the troops heading towards King City fell silent. Even the roars stopped at the same time. The leaders also looked at that person, as if they were waiting for something.
"That's Yanjiao's Shao Xuan?" the armoured youth asked.
"That's him," someone beside the armoured youth replied in a low voice.
Shao Xuan's appearance lessened the pressure on Guigou and the others.
Scanning the group, Shao Xuan looked at the city gate not far away and gestured for them to stop.
It was not just the Yanjiao people. The other tribes, including the Long boat and the Mang tribe, stopped as well. None of them objected, and there was no dissatisfaction on their faces. This was not an act!
This discovery made the armoured youth squint his eyes. He looked at Shao Xuan and pondered.
Shao Xuan scanned the Royal City gate, and his eyes stopped on Lubi.
Although Yanjiao's group exceeded their expectations, Lubi did not care. His target was Shao Xuan, who had just appeared. His eyes were filled with hatred as he stared at Shao Xuan. The muscles on his face were twisted together, making him look ferocious. That day, it was Shao Xuan who stole his hammer in front of everyone and chased after him to beat him up. He was a famous genius of the Lu family in the Royal City. Today, he came with a vengeance. No matter what other people thought, Lubi's goal was clear. Revenge!
Shao Xuan naturally noticed the intense stares. He did not say anything and walked straight towards Lubi and the others.
There was no roar, no release of aura, and no change in the ground beneath his feet. Every step he took brought up a small amount of dust particles. This did not seem like an extremely dangerous Ferocious Beast approaching, but more like an ordinary person walking on the ground.
However, Lubi, who was facing Shao Xuan, felt as if there was a mountain pressing down on him. He wanted to roar, to release all his strength, to avenge his humiliation. However, he helplessly realized that it was useless!
He was like a torch that was about to burn, but the air around him was suddenly sealed. He had nowhere to release his aura, so he had no choice but to hold it back!
Lubi, who was standing there with his hammer that could shield him from the sun and rain, had his fierce aura suppressed. He wanted to activate the fire seed's power in his blood but he realized that the power seemed to be on strike. It was as if it was purposely avoiding something, unwilling to move.
"You … How is this possible …" Lubi's eyes were filled with disbelief. The hammer in his hand was even bigger than the one Shao Xuan took from the Gongjia family. However, it was only in Lubi's hand now. Lubi's arm trembled, causing the hammer to vibrate weakly.
So what if he could not swing the hammer?
Many people did not understand why Lubi was behaving like this. Wasn't he the one who wanted to teach Yanjiao's Shao Xuan a lesson a lesson a few days ago? Why was Shao Xuan standing right in front of him and Lubi could not even swing the hammer?
No one knew how Lubi felt. His scalp was about to explode. His back was drenched in sweat and he was terrified. He even wanted to run away.
He saw a ball of fire in Shao Xuan's eyes. A ball of white fire.
