In this battle, the Qixi Protectorate had acted very inappropriately. As the protector of Qixi, it had failed to fulfill its duty. Instead of attacking when it should have been, they had come out to steal the credit of the battle. This was truly not the conduct of a true soldier.
Now that the original owner had appeared, all of them were naturally ashamed.
With the appearance of Wang Chong, time seemed to stop, and all was deathly still. All eyes gathered on Wang Chong, and in the center of the battlefield, that stalwart and tyrannical god-like figure had also come to a sudden stop. His hand on his saber, his eyes were bright as he quietly stood there.
His dignified and domineering gaze fell on Wang Chong, cold and emotionless.
"Wang Chong, you have rendered a meritorious service by assisting the Qixi Protectorate in attacking Ouzan. Once this matter is over, I will definitely present a memorial to the Imperial Court to commend you for your service!"
Fomonlința did not wait for Wang Chong to speak. His confident demeanor made it seem as if the one fighting with Ouzan for so long was not Wang Chong and the Wushang cavalry, but Fomonlința and his Qixi army.
"Lord Protector-General has rendered such a great service that Wang Chong might have to give Milord a gift. A few days ago, the Western Regions delivered a divine turtle. Wang Chong can give it to Milord. "
Wang Chong looked down from atop his White-hoofed Shadow, his eyes brimming with derision.
"Impudent!"
Wang Chong's words were met with a chorus of angry rebukes. Tortoises could stretch and shrink, and Wang Chong was clearly mocking Fumeng Lingcha and the Qixi Protectorate army for retreating at the crucial moment so that they could take the credit when the battle was over.
Fomonlința didn't say anything, but his eyes were blazing with anger. Wang Chong's status was far inferior to his, but at this time, he dared to mock and ridicule him. It was simply impudent.
"Wang Chong …"
Fomonlința's expression turned cold. Just as he was about to speak, his gaze suddenly swept past the two figures behind Wang Chong who were slowly walking over. His pupils shrank as if he had been pricked by a needle. All his anger instantly dissipated, and an indescribable sense of threat spread from the soles of his feet to his entire body.
For no reason at all, Fomonlința's entire body tensed up, as if there was a prick on his back.
"It's them!"
Fomonlința immediately recognized them. When Dusong Mangpoje had entered the City of Steel, he had sensed two powerful and terrifying auras erupt from the city. Even though he was very far away, Fomonlința had still been able to sense the dreadfulness and threat of these auras.
It was precisely for this reason that Fomonlința had sensed that the situation had changed, which was why he had immediately mobilized the Qixi Protectorate to enter the battlefield at full speed.
I didn't think that this brat would have such formidable figures at his side. Just how many more secrets does he have?
Fomonlința stared at the two figures, one black and one white, with a deep apprehension in his eyes.
Hmph, there's always a higher mountain. This fellow Fomonlința only knows how to take advantage of any opening, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. It seems like there are times when I have to show off my strength.
Wang Chong inwardly sneered. From his high vantage point on his horse, he could see through every change in Fomonlința's face. Inviting his master and the Chief Of Wushang had truly been a wise decision. Fomonlința was clearly wary of him.
"Wang Chong, what is the meaning of this! Do you really think that by bringing a few formidable people, you can act so impudently in front of me? Let me tell you, all of Qixi is under the control of me, Fomonlința! Wang Chong, do you dare to rebel in front of me? "
Fomonlința coldly said.
"Twenty years ago, if a little foreigner dared to speak to me like this, I would have killed him with a single slash of my saber!"
The voice of the Evil Emperor came from behind him, his voice cold and unhurried as he walked over with the Chief Of Wushang. Even in front of an Imperial Great General like Fomonlința, he made no attempt to hide his disdain, exuding an extremely domineering aura.
Given the Evil Emperor's status in the martial arts world, he had stirred up so many bloody storms, killed so many top-class experts, and made so many people pale at the mere mention of his name, a Saint Martial realm Fomonlința truly wasn't much in his eyes.
"Impudent!"
Fomonlința was enraged. No matter how patient he was, he couldn't accept these words.
"Disciple! Do you need me to kill him? As long as you nod, your Martial Uncle Fang and I will kill him right now! That Dusong Mangpoje ran fast enough that we weren't able to kill him, but a foreigner like him is nothing to us. Killing him is as easy as snapping a finger. "
The Evil Emperor said. His gaze was as sharp as a sword, and it immediately fell on Fomonlința's neck, the killing intent in his eyes obvious and undisguised. It was like Fomonlința was not a Great General that could intimidate the world, the Qixi Protector-General, but a chicken or a duck in his eyes.
On the side, the Chief Of Wushang didn't nod, but he also didn't shake his head.
He had seen all the effort Wang Chong had put into dealing with Ouzan, but Fomonlința and the Qixi Protectorate hadn't appeared when they were needed, only coming out to take credit after the battle. This was truly shameful.
"Bastard! This is preposterous! "
Fomonlința's face was red and his entire body was trembling. He was the mighty Qixi Protector-General, an Imperial Great General, and yet he was being humiliated in front of so many soldiers. This was simply too arrogant, showing no respect for him, the Imperial Protector-General.
Killing intent surged in Fomonlința's eyes as he tightened his grip on his saber, causing it to clack.
But a moment later, a gaze even colder than Fomonlința's came from across from him. Fomonlința's heart chilled, and he could no longer vent his anger.
This was not the first time that Fomonlința and Dusong Mangpoje had clashed in the north, and the two were evenly matched in strength. Even Dusong Mangpoje had fled like he had seen a fiend, so Fomonlința was certain that he was no match for them.
"Wang Chong, are you planning on attacking me?"
Fomonlința suppressed his anger as he raised his head to look at Wang Chong said.
"Haha, Protector-General, what are you saying? I was just joking with Protector-General. If Protector-General wants to take the credit, I have nothing to say. But I also have a few words for Protector-General. There are some things that burn your hands. If Protector-General wants to take them, you should think carefully! "
With these words, Wang Chong turned his horse around and rode back toward the distant City of Steel.
"Master! Let's go! "
After exchanging a few words with Fomonlința, the group quickly turned and left.
I still can't attack him right now! After all, he still has the status of Qixi Protector-General. But I really do have to think of a way to move him away from Qixi as quickly as possible!
Wang Chong quietly said to himself.
The battle quickly concluded, and Ouzan's army was utterly routed. Everyone fled in all directions like ants, which imperceptibly created a certain degree of difficulty in pursuing them.
Wang Chong hadn't brought many men with him in the first place, and if they were too scattered, it would be extremely dangerous for them to run into another army.
"Pass on my order! Have the army retreat! Don't pursue!"
Wang Chong's order was quickly passed down, and all the Wushang cavalry, under the leadership of Li Siye, began to converge.
But the Qixi Protectorate still had not withdrawn its soldiers.
"Marquis, this is ridiculous! The people of the Qixi Protectorate are too despicable! We're fighting to the death on the front lines, but they're just picking up the credit from the back! "
"That's right! The Qixi Protectorate camp is clearly right in front of us, but they refuse to come out. Just this alone is enough for Marquis to complain about them. "
"This is too much! Do they really think we don't exist? "
… …
Behind the silver-white steel walls, the soldiers were all gathered together, looking into the distance with furious expressions.
Up to this point in the battle, the Qixi Protectorate soldiers had treated them as if they didn't exist, brazenly and confidently trying to seize the credit. Some of the Qixi Protectorate soldiers had even intentionally blocked their path, intentionally ramming their horses into them. Their methods were truly despicable to the extreme.
A dog could bite a man, but a man could not bite a dog. The several thousand Wushang cavalry could deal with the Ouzan without batting an eye, but they could not do the same to the Tang Dynasty soldiers.
"Haha, it's just an itch. There's no need to worry about it. Let them fight for it! Fomonlința might think of this as a massive contribution, but to us, this is just a small contribution at the beginning. Compared to the contributions we'll make in the future, this battle is insignificant. "
Wang Chong waved his hand and indifferently said, his expression unconcerned.
"In addition, it won't be so easy for Fomonlința to steal the credit!"
"Reporting! Marquis, the people of the Qixi Protectorate have forced their way into our fortress. "
Just as they were speaking, a scout riding on a warhorse suddenly kicked up a cloud of dust as he hurriedly galloped in the direction of the group.
"Buzz!"
His words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Marquis, the fortress is full of craftsmen, and there are no Ouzan soldiers. What are they doing?"
"These bastards, are they coveting the steel fortress we're building? We're building it, but they're coming to steal it? How shameless! "
"They dare!"
… …
Cheng Sanyuan, Su Shixuan, and Xu Keyi all turned to Wang Chong. Now that Ouzan's forces had retreated, the fortress at the triangular gap was an extremely important military stronghold.
Given Fumeng Lingcha's style, if he dared to rush out at the end of the battle to take credit, then he would definitely try to take advantage of this City of Steel that they had spent so much manpower and resources to build. Fumeng Lingcha's actions were not out of the question.
"Marquis, they wouldn't really do that, would they?"
Xu Keyi looked up at Wang Chong, somewhat worried.
"That won't happen!"
Wang Chong calmly waved his hand, dismissing the worries of Xu Keyi and the others.
"Given Fomonlința's personality, there's an eighty to ninety percent chance that he's thinking of stealing this fortress from us. After all, this fortress would be the equivalent of a base for the Qixi Protectorate, making it much more convenient. However, he would only think about it. He would never actually do such a thing. A mighty Great General of the Empire would not be so foolish. "
