"Ah?!"
Won Shu-young was dumbfounded. He had never expected that the leader of the Gangke people would reject them so cleanly without even showing his face or meeting them.
"This …"
Won Shu-young turned to look at Wang Chong, not knowing what to say. The other party had clearly refused to make contact. No matter how many methods of persuasion they had, it was useless. Wang Chong also raised his eyebrows, but he was not too surprised.
"As expected of the arrogant King of Mercenaries."
Wang Chong smiled inwardly. He did not care too much. The King Of Gangke's arrogance was famous in later generations. Although the Gangke people were mercenaries of the Western Regions, not everyone would accept the offer. Everyone was dressed in Han Chinese attire. It would be strange if the Gangke people agreed to it for the first time.
"It's alright. These are for you. Mister Yuan, let's go."
Wang Chong smiled and waved his hand. Under Won Shu-young's stunned gaze, he turned and walked into the distance. Behind him, the five thousand soldiers of the Qixi Protectorate also slowly moved away from the Gangke Tribe.
"Marquis, are we really going to leave just like that?"
Won Shu-young had an embarrassed expression on his face, unable to let go of the grudge in his heart. He had been summoned by Wang Chong this time, thinking that he could provide some help. The name of Young Hou Zhongyi was well known throughout the world. Although Won Shu-young was much older than him, he still greatly admired this descendant of the Ninth Young Master.
However, he had not expected to suffer such a setback on his first apprenticeship.
"Don't worry, the Gangke people will definitely agree. However, haste makes waste. We've already conveyed our goodwill the first time, and that's enough. Next … we'll just wait and see. "
As he said this, the corners of Wang Chong's mouth curled up in a meaningful smile.
"Report!"
As soon as Wang Chong said that, a scout from the Qixi Protectorate arrived on a warhorse.
"My lord! There are more than two thousand targets up ahead, heading toward the territory of the Gangke. "
"Target?"
Hearing this, Won Shu-young looked confused, and subconsciously turned to look at Wang Chong. It seemed that Wang Chong had arranged more things than he had imagined.
"Haha, Mister Yuan, don't worry. Let's wait and see."
As Wang Chong spoke, he waved his hand, and the five thousand strong army immediately stopped several thousand feet away from the Gangke people's territory. In just a few breaths of time, everyone heard the dense sound of horse hooves in the next moment. Under everyone's gaze, a tribe of more than two thousand barbarians from the Western Region, with hooked noses, deep-set eyes, and disheveled hair, charged towards the Gangke people's territory while waving their swords, spears, and clubs.
This tribe of more than two thousand barbarians had obviously noticed Wang Chong and the rest when they were halfway there. However, they only laughed and continued to charge unscrupulously towards the Gangke people's territory.
"The Saka!"
Won Shu-young's eyelid suddenly twitched as he recognized them. The Saka were a very powerful nomadic tribe in the Western Region, and they were divided into many tribes. Their biggest characteristic was their tall physique, extremely thick bones, and extremely aggressive nature. The people of this tribe had a habit of using lime to draw an iron fork mark on the right side of their warhorses.
The Saka loved to bully the weaker tribes. In the Western Region, they had destroyed countless small tribes.
"My lord …"
"Let's continue watching."
Wang Chong smiled. He already knew what Won Shu-young was going to say.
In the distance, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. The two thousand Saka had already penetrated deep into the Gangke people's territory. A group of Gangke people quickly gathered and confronted the Saka. Due to the distance, it was impossible to hear what they were saying. However, it was clear that the Gangke people were very agitated. They were waving their arms and saying something, but their actions only made the Saka laugh loudly.
"Marquis, the Saka have always been domineering and like to enslave other weak tribes. They often kidnap the cattle, sheep, and horses of other tribes. The Gangke people have always been lacking in food. I'm afraid …"
Won Shu-young turned his head to look at Wang Chong. However, before he could finish, a shrill scream came from behind him. Won Shu-young's body trembled. He turned his head and saw several Gangke people being pierced by halberds. The Saka, who had just been laughing loudly, suddenly charged into the Gangke people's territory and began a massacre.
Xiu, xiu, xiu!
The Saka had clearly come prepared. Arrows rained down on the Gangke people. The others rode their horses and became one with them. They brandished their weapons, spears, and clubs as they slaughtered the Gangke people in a frenzy. The Gangke people were unarmed and starving. They were no match for the Saka. Screams rang out incessantly.
"Marquis!"
"Listen to my orders."
Wang Chong said calmly.
A moment later, an earth-shattering roar erupted from a tent in the center of the Gangke people's territory. The aura was terrifying. Before the Saka could even get close, they were sent flying with their horses. The aura was so strong that even Wang Chong and the others' horses, thousands of meters away, were frightened and neighed Neigh.
"So powerful!"
"Who is this? How can he be so powerful? "
"This person is at least in the Saint Martial Realm. I didn't expect the Gangke people to have such a terrifying expert!"
…
All the generals of the Qixi Protectorate beside Wang Chong were deeply shocked, their eyelids twitching. When they first met the Gangke people, they were dirty and smelly, just like beggars. They didn't think much of them, but no one expected such an expert to be hidden among the Gangke people.
"The King Of Gangke is finally here!"
Wang Chong narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, his eyes full of anticipation.
Wang Chong had some understanding of the relationship between the Saka and the Gangke people. Just as Won Shu-young had said, the two tribes had a slave and subordinate relationship. The Gangke people were small tribes under the Saka, and they often had to offer cattle, sheep, and horses to the Saka, and the Saka used this method to control the growth of the Gangke people.
But the Gangke people were not without a fight. Their leader, the King Of Gangke, was the biggest variable. He was an extremely terrifying, hidden Saint Martial Realm expert.
In the distance, as the aura exploded, the tent was torn apart, and a slender, heroic looking Gangke people wearing animal skins walked out. His eyes were piercingly cold and contained a murderous aura. The Saka, who were charging around unstoppably, immediately became as weak as ants in front of him.
"Qie Kryppa, enjoy this to the fullest, Qie Qie Qie …"
The King Of Gangke's eyes were like lightning, and his furious voice was like thunder, shaking the area for several li, causing the horses to neigh in fright. Even though Wang Chong already knew about the King Of Gangke, he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw his astonishing aura.
This was a real lion!
"What did he say?"
Wang Chong turned his head to look at Won Shu-young.
"The leader of the Gangke people is angry, and ordered them to retreat immediately."
Won Shu-young said, looking into the distance. This conflict had completely attracted his attention. Won Shu-young had traveled the Western Region in his early years, and had also come into contact with the Gangke people. But he had never known that they had such a formidable character. The Stellar Energy around the King Of Gangke was as dazzling as lightning, making him seem like a god.
"Asarilu, Kaliyesilila …"
On the other side, the Saka were completely unconcerned by the powerful King Of Gangke. Several of the powerful Saka leaders of Qixi surrounded the King Of Gangke and harshly cursed.
"Those Saka are threatening the Gangke leader. If he dares to attack, he will kill all the Gangke people."
Won Shu-young immediately translated.
The Saka's threat was clearly effective. The King Of Gangke appeared to be very apprehensive, and his boundless aura had been greatly restrained, as if he was afraid of harming the innocent.
"Pass on my order. We can begin."
Wang Chong faintly smiled and waved his hand.
"Rumble!"
There was a heaven-shaking boom, and a moment later, while the Gangke people and the Saka were facing off, the five thousand Qixi Protectorate behind Wang Chong moved out. Clangclangclang! Thousands of war halos shot out of their feet like the most dazzling of flames, and then the five thousand soldiers surged like a surging tide toward the territory of the Gangke people.
Five thousand fully armed people charged forward together. That kind of powerful killing intent immediately attracted the attention of the two opposing sides.
"It's the Qixi Protectorate!"
"What do they want to do? Have the Tang people forgotten the rules? What does the matter between us and the Gangke people have to do with them? "
"Have a few people go and negotiate with them. We've worked with the Tang people before!"
… …
The Saka immediately turned around and charged toward Wang Chong's group. They tried to stop the five thousand Qixi Protectorate, but what awaited them were sharp blades. Hiss! A cold light flashed, and blood spurted. The Saka opened their mouths, and before they could make a sound, their heads were separated from their bodies. They fell from their warhorses, and blood spurted all over the ground.
“！！！”
Seeing this, all the Saka were stunned. No one expected that the Tang Dynasty's army would actually dare to attack them, and to help the "filthy wild boars" of the Western Region.
"These bastards! They actually dare to attack us! "
"How dare they break the rules! Kill them!"
… …
The Saka's eyes were bloodshot. No matter how slow they were to react, they knew that the Tang people were coming for them. In just an instant, blood gushed up their heads, and their faces turned red. They waved their weapons, roared, and charged toward the five thousand Qixi Protectorate.
