When the military commanders heard those extremely tragic cries, they finally reacted. Immediately after, groups of soldiers led by the military commanders also gathered in the direction of the stone house from all directions.
However …
Just as they were about to reach the side of the stone house, all of them had no choice but to stop.
Because, in front of them, there were countless citizens of the Southern Mountain Range. Every single one of them had dark skin and wore various types of rattan clothing.
"Get out of the way!" One of the commanders immediately shouted.
"What is it? What do you want? " Hearing the commander's words, an old man around fifty years of age, wearing a hat with a feather on it and wearing rattan clothing and animal skin, walked out.
"So it's the settlement chief. Our general was ambushed, please ask them to move aside!" When the commander saw the old man in front of him, he recognized him as the settlement chief of the Thunderous Lion Main Settlement. His tone instantly became courteous.
"General Chen was ambushed? Then hurry and make a detour from the east! "When the settlement chief heard the commander's words, he instantly became somewhat anxious.
"Make a detour?!" The commander's face was filled with confusion and shock.
"That's right, I'm so sorry. We are currently holding a ceremony to pray for rain. This concerns whether we will have good weather this year, I hope that you will not interrupt us. You should know that the Southern Mountain Range has its own traditions, this prayer for rain …" The settlement chief explained very patiently.
"Stop! We are rushing to save our general, please make way for us. It won't be too late to hold the ceremony after we have passed through! "
"I'm afraid that's not possible. Our ceremony has already started. I also didn't know that your general would be ambushed. Once the ceremony starts, it cannot be stopped. The altar cannot be moved either. Otherwise, we will be punished by the heavens. When that happens, the Southern …" The settlement chief continued to express his stance.
"Okay okay okay. There's no need to say anymore. Brothers, make a detour! "
The few commanders glanced at each other. They really had no other choice. After all, their words carried little weight. They simply couldn't have any obvious conflict with the Southern Mountain Range for no reason.
The Southern Mountain Range was only a vassal state of the Great Xia. The ruler of the Southern Region could only be called a king, not an emperor, and had to pay tribute to the court every year. However, the Southern Region was not an ordinary vassal state.
The vast Southern Region, coupled with the ferocious warriors, could definitely be said to be the best support for the Great Xia.
Of course …
That was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that they did not have the time to continue wasting time here with the chief.
"Quick, go around to the back of the stone house from the east!"
"Yes!"
One by one, the soldiers moved quickly. All of them made their way to the east of the stone house. However, they did not know that there was an equally 'important' Sacrificial Ceremony taking place there.
…
Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chen Feiyu, who was jumping up and down continuously outside the stone house. A faint smile appeared on the edges of his mouth, and he even cheered from time to time.
"Not bad, this is a beautiful move!"
"Pay attention to the left, aiya … I told you to pay attention to the left!"
"There are two Silver Horned Wolves behind us that are about to launch a sneak attack, be careful! Sigh … What the hell? You believe the words of the enemy? Aren't you a little too indecisive? "
Fang Zhengzhi continued to give out instructions by the side of the stage, not at all anxious.
In Chen Feiyu's heart. Fang Zhengzhi's actions were naturally a risky sneak attack. However, in Fang Zhengzhi's heart, he had a completely different idea.
What was a sneak attack?
That was a sneak attack in someone else's territory!
Was the Thunderous Lion Main Settlement Chen Feiyu's territory? Of course not. Fang Zhengzhi, who controlled the chief, was the true mastermind of the Thunderous Lion Main Settlement.
Then …
The problem was, could this be called a sneak attack in one's own territory?
Of course not. At most, it could be called catching a turtle in a jar.
Chen Feiyu was really very frustrated at this moment. He gritted his teeth tightly. He tried his best to hold on for as long as possible, even though his entire body was already in excruciating pain.
However, he still believed that his soldiers would definitely rush over in time.
However, from the start of the battle until now, almost an hour had passed. Yet, not even a shadow of a single person had been seen.
Was he sleeping?
Chen Feiyu was indignant. He was really indignant.
Originally, he thought that he, who had attained the Supernatural State, should be standing on the peak of a mountain, looking down on the masses.
But in reality?
Was he going to be captured alive before he even had the chance to show off in front of the army? Furthermore, most importantly, he was being captured by a group of Southern Mountain Range soldiers riding on Silver Horned Wolves.
"One on one, I want one on one, I am of the Supernatural State!" Chen Feiyu shouted loudly.
"Sigh … how naive!" Fang Zhengzhi lightly shook his head. Then, he shot a look at Teng Shisheng. Instantly, the five hundred Silver Horned Wolves howled once again.
"Ah!" Followed by a tragic cry.
Chen Feiyu's hands and legs instantly bled profusely. Because, four Silver Horned Wolves were each biting on his hands and legs. At the same time, black metal chains were thrown into the air.
Being tied up like a dog wasn't enough to describe Chen Feiyu's current pitiful state.
His entire body was locked tightly by the black metal chains. If one didn't look closely, one wouldn't be able to tell that this was a living person.
"Take him away." Fang Zhengzhi casually waved his hand.
"No, Fang Zhengzhi, you can't do this to me. I am of the Supernatural State, I am number one in the combat examination!" Chen Feiyu struggled with all his might. But, he knew very clearly.
Even if he used all his strength to forcefully break free, he would still be beaten to the ground.
It was useless!
From the moment Fang Zhengzhi ordered the five hundred Silver Horned Wolves to attack him, he knew that everything was over. His dreams were shattered once again.
But, he really couldn't accept it.
Ever since he was young, he had never been the most outstanding. Every time, he couldn't attract the attention of others. He had been sulking, sulking for so many years.
He thought that this time, he could.
Because, he had broken through to the Supernatural State. This was the time to shine.
But …
Heaven gave him a heavy blow once again.
Just when he had calculated everything and was waiting to make a name for himself in front of the army, Fang Zhengzhi appeared behind his back.
His dream of making a name for himself was shattered once again.
Falling from the peak of the mountain to the ground. It was painful. It was really painful …
"Fang Zhengzhi, let's discuss, discuss … as long as you don't eliminate me, what conditions do you have? I can promise you anything! "Chen Feiyu still held onto his last hope.
"Really?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chen Feiyu with interest.
"It's true. As long as you return the Thunderous Lion Settlement to me and return my military power to me, I can promise you anything you want!" Chen Feiyu relented when he saw Fang Zhengzhi. His eyes instantly lit up.
"You are indeed very naive, take him away!"
"No! I will give you the Thunderous Lion Settlement, I don't want it anymore. Just give me the military power. "When Chen Feiyu heard this, his expression instantly changed and softened.
"Take him away!"
"I don't want the military power either, I don't want it all. I will find a way to make a comeback. I will give you silvers. Don't you like silvers? You can have as much as you want. I am a disciple of the Thirteen Constabularies, I am the Imperial Uncle of the current dynasty. I have silvers, lots and lots of silvers. "Chen Feiyu's tone was already somewhat close to begging.
He wanted to make a name for himself. He had waited for this moment for far too long. Now, he had to watch this opportunity slip through his fingers.
How could he be satisfied!
"The Imperial Uncle of the current dynasty?" When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, he was finally slightly moved.
"Yes, my sister is the Imperial Concubine of the current dynasty. She is very favored by the Emperor. I am the Imperial Uncle of the current dynasty. Fang Zhengzhi, if you dare to eliminate me, wait till I return to the Great Xia. I definitely won't let you off! "When Chen Feiyu saw Fang Zhengzhi's expression, he instantly had an idea.
"You still dare to threaten me? Beat him up, beat him until all his teeth fall out! "
"Ah … don't, I won't threaten you anymore. Fang Zhengzhi, let's join forces. With my abilities, I will definitely be able to help you. Really, you must believe me! "Chen Feiyu had really never seen someone like Fang Zhengzhi.
Knowing that he was the Imperial Uncle of the current dynasty, he still dared to beat him up?
Did he have to be so daring!
"Oh? How can you help me? "Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chen Feiyu with interest once again.
"I can challenge Wu Feng to a duel. Then, in front of the tens of thousands of soldiers, we will make a bet. Whoever loses will have to give up all their military power. All you have to do is to sit back and reap the benefits. How about that?"
"Then, you will obtain all of Wu Feng's military power and beat me up?"
"No, I won't go against you. After I obtain Wu Feng's military power, I will retreat to the Yan Ya and Shi Zun Settlements. I definitely won't go against you!" Chen Feiyu said with certainty.
"I understand." When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, he nodded his head slightly.
"You … you agree?"
"No, I just feel that this plan of yours isn't bad. I will reluctantly accept it." A trace of a smile appeared on the edges of Fang Zhengzhi's mouth.
"..." Chen Feiyu's eyes instantly widened. He stared fixedly at Fang Zhengzhi. His mouth opened and closed, but, not a single word came out.
"Take him away and lock him up. Remember to give him three buns for every meal. We can't treat our customers badly." Fang Zhengzhi said with a generous expression.
"Fang Zhengzhi … I, Chen Feiyu, swear that I will not coexist with you!"
"Imperial uncle? How can you be so naive … "Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chen Feiyu, whose face was flushed red as he screamed his lungs out and struggled along the way, and lightly shook his head.
Now, the Thunderous Lion Settlement had completely fallen into his hands.
Coupled with the over ten thousand military power in Chen Feiyu's hands, he could pull out an enormous army of ten thousand people. Then, what should he do next?
Should he unify the Southern Mountain Range, or should he majestically return to the Yan Capital and hide?
Fang Zhengzhi began to think about this question that he had never thought about before. As the saying went, the more daring a person was, the more productive he would be.
However, the problem that he had to solve now was still the matter of Wu Feng leading the troops to attack.
The plan that Chen Feiyu had mentioned sounded pretty good. Provoking Wu Feng into a one on one battle, then deciding the winner in a one on one battle.
This was a method that was commonly used in the combat examination of the Great Xia Dynasty.
After all, under normal circumstances, if it wasn't out of desperation, the possibility of two armies engaging in a real battle was extremely low.
This was actually just like the ancient times of his previous world. When two armies fought, the commander would first fight one on one. The side that won would have their morale greatly boosted, then, they would win.
It was a little brainless.
Fang Zhengzhi actually didn't want to use such a method. After all, it didn't have any technical content, and didn't have any noteworthy tactics to speak of.
Would Wu Feng lead the troops to attack?
Then …
What should he do?
…
Night. It was a silent night. However, it wasn't a peaceful night.
This night was destined to be extremely long. It was so long that people couldn't sleep, and it was so long that it made people excited and their hearts tremble.
In the darkness of the night, a young man sat on a horse that was covered in scales. The upper body of the horse was completely black, like ink. On its four legs, there were circle after circle of spiral-shaped jade-green ripples.
There was once an ancient saying that described a good colt.
That was, four legs treading on snow.
And the horse that the youth rode on had four legs treading on jade-like waves. It was known as the Jade Wave Beast!
The youth wore an exquisite jade-green armor and held a jade flute in his hand. His eyes were somewhat bright, and the corners of his mouth always curved into a confident smile.
After Wu Feng's plan to split his troops into two failed, he was actually very angry. He completely didn't expect Chen Feiyu to have such a brilliant strategy.
Attacking instead of defending?
It had to be said that this was indeed outside of Wu Feng's calculations.
Fortunately, he wasn't someone to be trifled with. Once he sensed that something was amiss, he instantly changed his strategy and attacked fiercely. Only then did he seize the opportunity and successfully cut into the back of Chen Feiyu's army.
This could be considered as saving some losses.
One wrong step would lead to many wrong steps. Wu Feng understood this very well. If this was a normal battle, under normal circumstances, he would first retreat and recuperate.
This was a very normal strategy.
However, would Wu Feng use a normal strategy?
Of course not.
Wealth came from danger. Achieving victory through unexpected means was the path that Wu Feng would take. Furthermore, his opponent was only Chen Feiyu, ranked twelve on the Rising Dragon Roll.
If he couldn't even defeat Chen Feiyu, he, Wu Feng, would really lose a lot of face.
Chen Feiyu specially sent two thousand troops to harass him along the way. He could naturally guess his intentions. This was to lure him to attack the Thunderous Lion Settlement!
He naturally knew how terrifying the fortresses of the four main settlements were.
Using defense against offense.
Wu Feng could be sure that if he forcefully attacked the Thunderous Lion Settlement, he would definitely be the one who lost.
"Not a bad plan, unfortunately … the person you met is me!" Wu Feng gazed at the retreating soldiers not too far away. The corners of his mouth curled into a faintly discernible smile.
With a command, over ten thousand troops marched majestically towards the direction of the Thunderous Lion Settlement, just like a huge black cloud in the night sky.
