Zhong Shan smiled strangely and said, "Ten cities, isn't that too little?"
In the distance, Guo Fen was still smiling mockingly. The moment he heard Zhong Shan's words, his face froze.
"Eh?" Guo Fen didn't react.
Ten cities was too little? One-third of the country was too little?
This Zhong Shan was really arrogant. Not far away, Yan Chongzhi's expression tensed up. Then, he looked at Guo Fen with a mocking smile.
Guo Fen's eyes widened, and his face turned slightly red.
"Then tell me, how many cities is too little?" Guo Fen stared at Zhong Shan and asked.
"It seems like you can't take out much. Fifteen cities!" Zhong Shan smiled casually.
Guo Fen sucked in a deep breath.
Fifteen cities? In principle, gambling land wasn't gambling with the dynasty. It couldn't exceed half of the country's land. However, Zhong Shan suddenly said fifteen cities. That was close to half of the country's land.
It was the same for the three dynasties. Zhong Shan reached the limit in one breath.
Guo Fen's face turned red from Zhong Shan's words. 'Fifteen cities it is!' He felt that it was too little. Was Zhong Shan crazy?
"What? Too little? "Zhong Shan looked in Guo Fen's direction and smiled mockingly.
"Hmph!" Guo Fen snorted coldly.
"Yan Chongzhi, what do you think of my suggestion?" Zhong Shan smiled and looked at Yan Chongzhi.
Yan Chongzhi looked like he was watching a show from the start. Zhong Shan turned his head and asked, but he was dragged into the battle circle.
Yan Chongzhi's expression changed slightly, but he still nodded with a smile and said, "I agree!"
I agree? Yan Chongzhi actually agreed to gamble with half of the country's land?
Zhong Shan looked at Yan Chongzhi with slight admiration. Regardless of whether Yan Chongzhi was capable or not, at the very least, his spirit was not something Guo Fen could compare to.
Sure enough, when he heard Yan Chongzhi agree, Guo Fen's expression immediately changed.
"Guo Fen, what do you think?" Zhong Shan looked at Guo Fen in the distance and smiled faintly.
Guo Fen's eyes were filled with uncertainty. Half of the country would inevitably cause Guo Fen to hesitate. After a moment of silence, Guo Fen's eyes seemed to have made up his mind. He revealed a fierce cold smile and said, "Alright, as you wish!"
"Alright!" Zhong Shan smiled.
The emperors of the three dynasties came to an agreement and each of them used fifteen cities as the wager. That was half of the country.
Forty-five cities were used as gambling capital for the three emperors to play against each other.
"Point City!" Guo Fen said to Zhong Shan.
"After you!" Zhong Shan smiled and let Guo Fen go first.
At this moment, a ceremonial official flew to the center of the Yin Maze Square from behind Guo Fen's dragon throne. He formed a spiritual spell, and a huge map was projected in the sky above the square.
On the map were the locations of all the cities of the three dynasties in the Forbidden Land.
Guo Fen reached out his hand and pointed at the map a few times. Instantly, fifteen cities turned red on the map.
These were the wagers for the game. Yan Chongzhi immediately pointed at fifteen cities.
Zhong Shan imitated him and pointed at fifteen border cities with a spiritual spell.
Once the cities were decided, they couldn't go back on their words. This was related to the reputation of the dynasties.
The ceremonial official who projected the map with a spiritual spell reported the names of the forty-five cities one by one. After making sure that everyone remembered the cities, he put away the map with a flip of his hand.
"The wager will be divided into two parts. You know the rules, right?" Guo Fen stared at Zhong Shan and asked.
"Of course!" Zhong Shan nodded.
The so-called wager was the game between the three dynasties, the game of overall strength, and the game of individual strength.
The game of overall strength was the ability of the army, and the game of individual strength was the life-and-death battles between the contestants.
"Wager Army, step forward!"
The ceremonial official who projected the map yelled.
Lin Xiao bowed to Zhong Shan and jumped off the Dragon Platform from behind. Then, he led 200,000 soldiers and slowly walked to the center of the Yin Maze Square.
Yan Chongzhi's subordinate, a general, stepped forward with 200,000 ghost soldiers.
Guo Fen's subordinates were 100,000 infantrymen and 100,000 wolf cavalrymen.
"The army of the Great Ying Dynasty will enter the Yin Maze Mountain Range from the south. The army of the Great Flood Dynasty will enter the Yin Maze Mountain Range from the west. The army of the Daikon State will enter the Yin Maze Mountain Range from the east!" the ceremonial official yelled.
The Yin Maze Mountain Range was enveloped by a powerful formation. Countless black mists covered the mountain range, greatly reducing one's vision. Moreover, one's Divine Sense would be greatly disrupted inside. More importantly, it was impossible to fly inside. It was just like the feng shui formation set up by the Clay Bodhisattva in the past. The sixty-four cities were shrouded in mist, and no one could fly inside.
Battles between armies were fought inside, regardless of life or death. The only way to win was to obtain the flag of the enemy commander or to slaughter the enemy.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject will lead the army into the mountains and will add another city to the Great Flood Dynasty!" the Great Flood Dynasty commander yelled to Guo Fen.
"Mm!" Guo Fen nodded.
The general obeyed and led 100,000 infantrymen and 100,000 wolf cavalrymen to the northwest, preparing to enter the mountains from the west.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject will lead the army into the mountains and will add another city to the Great Ying Dynasty!" the Great Ying Dynasty commander yelled to Yan Chongzhi.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Yan Chongzhi said.
The Ghost Marshal nodded firmly and led the two hundred thousand ghost soldiers towards the north. They entered the mountain from the south of the Yin Mi Mountain Range.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject will lead the army into the mountains and will definitely obtain the flags of the two commanders!" Lin Xiao bowed to Zhong Shan.
The two hundred thousand Daikon State soldiers also rubbed their palms together.
"Men, bring the Wine of Heroes. This Emperor wishes to toast Lin Xiao!" Zhong Shan suddenly said.
Toast Lin Xiao? Guo Fen raised his eyebrows, but Yan Chongzhi was slightly surprised. This Zhong Shan was trying to bribe Lin Xiao? Motivate the three armies?
Zhong Shan walked down the Dragon Platform, and Lin Xiao stepped out to the front.
Two servants walked to the front, each carrying a tray with two wine bottles and a jar of fine wine. Another person slapped open the clay seal and poured out the golden yellow wine from the jar into a wine bottle.
The moment the wine was poured into the wine bottles, the old man behind Yan Chongzhi's Dragon Throne, the red-nosed old man lying on the reclining chair and hugging the wine gourd, suddenly sniffed. Then, his eyes lit up, and he got up and stared at Zhong Shan below the Dragon Platform.
"Good wine ~ ~ ~ ~!"
The old man's face lit up with joy as he shouted. His body moved, leaving only an afterimage as he disappeared from the reclining chair. He quickly rushed towards Zhong Shan's wine jar.
He was too fast. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the wine jar.
"Hu ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
A breeze blew past, and the old man stopped in front of the person holding the wine. He didn't catch the wine, but was stopped.
A black figure stood in front of the old man.
It was Sha Po. The instant the old man rushed over, Sha Po moved. With an extremely fast speed, he blocked the old man's path.
The two's movements were very, very fast. The two emperors watching from afar were nervous. Especially the blood-faced man behind Guo Fen, who stared at Sha Po.
What kind of existence was Sha Po? Ultimate Emperor Realm, that was the pinnacle of the world. When the old man moved, he saw the direction he was moving in. Sha Po naturally did his best to protect Zhong Shan.
The old man was stopped by Sha Po, but his eyes narrowed. Then, he laughed and pretended to be crazy.
"What do you want to do?" Zhong Shan looked at the old man coldly.
"This is the best wine I've ever had. Your wine is so strange, I can't even smell what it's brewed with. Can you give me some to try?" The old man immediately laughed and said.
Brewed with what? This was a wine brought down from the Yang Realm. It was brewed with many fruits that could only be found in the Yang Realm. Naturally, it was rare in the Yang Realm.
Zhong Shan looked at Yan Chongzhi in the distance. Yan Chongzhi smiled bitterly.
Zhong Shan looked at the old man again. The old man was stopped by Sha Po and looked pitiful. However, his eyes were still staring at the wine, unwilling to give in.
"This is the Hero's Wine, wait for me to propose a toast!" Zhong Shan said and ignored the old man.
He held up a wine bottle. Lin Xiao also held up a wine bottle.
"I wish you a triumphant return!" Zhong Shan said loudly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Xiao also said loudly.
This was for the three armies to see. The two hundred thousand soldiers behind Lin Xiao looked on with anticipation. Their fighting spirit rose and their morale was boosted.
"Be careful when you enter the mountain. Give up if you have no choice. I don't want anything to happen to you!" Zhong Shan said softly.
Lin Xiao's ability to lead an army was indisputable. However, he had only been in the Yang Realm for a short time and was not familiar with some of the strange things in the Yang Realm. Zhong Shan was afraid that he would fail miserably. Zhong Shan would rather lose fifteen cities than lose Lin Xiao.
"Okay!" Lin Xiao nodded emotionally.
The two drank the wine. The old man's eyes lit up.
After drinking, Lin Xiao led the two hundred thousand soldiers and headed northeast. He was prepared to enter the mountain from the east of the Yin Mi Mountain Range.
Seeing Lin Xiao leave, Zhong Shan turned around and prepared to go up the Dragon Platform.
"Where's the wine?" The old man immediately called out.
Zhong Shan looked at the old man strangely. He waved his hand and Sha Po moved aside. The old man pounced on the wine bottle.
He hugged the wine bottle and returned to Yan Chongzhi's Dragon Platform.
Zhong Shan walked up the Dragon Platform and sat down. He saw the old man holding the wine bottle and drinking leisurely.
"The three armies will fight in the Yin Mi Mountain Range. Twenty-five cities will be destroyed. For the remaining twenty cities, each side will send ten people to fight." The ceremonial officer called out.
Each side will send ten people! This was the old rule. The twenty cities would naturally be a competition between the three dynasties. The final winner would be the winner.
In the distance, Guo Fen looked behind him. When he saw the blood-faced man, he seemed to say something to him. The blood-faced man nodded.
Following which, ten people walked down from Guo Fen's Dragon Platform. One of them was the blood-faced man. Guo Fen was determined to take down these twenty cities.
"I'll go, I'll go, I want to subdue him!" Xianxian, who was behind Zhong Shan, said excitedly.
Looking at Xianxian, Zhong Shan nodded and said, "Sha Po, accompany Xianxian to play!"
"Yes!" Sha Po respectfully replied.
With Sha Po here, Zhong Shan was not worried about Xianxian's safety. Because in this kind of battle, there would only be death. There was no surrender.
In the distance, behind Yan Chongzhi, Old Man Jiu was drinking wine while staring at Zhong Shan. When he saw Sha Po being so respectful to Zhong Shan, his expression changed. Then, he turned to Yan Chongzhi and said something.
Yan Chongzhi was surprised at first, then nodded.
Ten people also went down from Yan Chongzhi's Dragon Platform. One of them was Old Man Jiu. The other nine were Ghost Generals.
Ten from Great Flood, ten from Great Ying, and only two from Daikon State, Xianxian and Sha Po.
"Ha, Zhong Shan, you only have two people?" Guo Fen laughed.
