After hearing Lan Ling's words, Nini An was about to explode in anger. She had never been humiliated like this before.
Her beautiful eyes turned cold as she looked at Lan Ling. "You should know that between you and Du Yan, we can only choose one. Since you gave up this chance, we can only choose Du Yan. "
Lan Ling's expression turned serious. "Alright, I promise you."
Ninian was stunned.
Then, she fell into a dilemma.
So what if Lan Ling agreed? It was just a verbal promise. What was the point?
"What proof do you have?" Ninian asked.
Lan Ling said, "I'll help you get rid of your brother without anyone knowing."
Ninian was shocked. She shook her head. "You know that's impossible. My father still has a few decades left. What I need now is to nurture people who are loyal to me."
Lan Ling smiled. "Then what do you have to prove others' loyalty to you?"
Ninian said, "When loyalty arrives, I can naturally feel it."
Lan Ling looked at her passionately. "Then do you feel my loyalty now?"
Ninian's expression did not change. Instead, she smiled. "A little. It would be better if your tone was more loyal."
With that, she stood up and left.
As soon as she left Lan Ling's tent, Ninian's expression turned cold. She felt that her intelligence had been insulted.
She had two weapons. One was her beauty, and the other was her scheming. She relied on these two weapons to capture men.
For example, Du Yan, Yang Gu, and Qiu Ju controlled nearly half of the entire tribe's military power. And these three people obeyed her orders.
She was good at reading people's expressions. She could tell what a person was thinking just by looking at their eyes and expression.
She could easily tell that her weapon was ineffective against Lan Ling!
…
Returning to Constantine's tent.
"How was it?" Constantine asked.
"We can't use him. We have to get rid of him," Ninian said.
"Why?" Constantine asked.
Ninian said, "I told him that I want to assist my father in conquering the surrounding tribes and become the master of this land. Then, she would replace her brother and become the female chief of the tribe. As long as he helps me succeed, I will marry him. In this thousand-mile area, he was only below one person and above tens of thousands. But I don't see any signs of him being moved. "
Constantine narrowed his eyes.
Ninian continued, "Anyone would be tempted in the face of such temptation. There are only two possibilities for those who aren't tempted. The first is that he has no ambition, and the second is that his ambition is too big. "
Constantine nodded. His daughter's conclusion was spot on.
However, it was impossible for Lan Ling to not have any ambitions, so it was the latter answer. His ambitions were too big!
Ninian said, "That's why we can't let him live. We have to think of a way to kill him."
Constantine nodded and said, "Then what do you think he wants?"
Ninian fell silent. She really did not know what Lan Ling wanted.
Constantine said, "Anyone would be tempted by your suggestion. Why isn't he tempted?"
Ninian said, "He once sneered and asked how many men you were going to betroth me to."
Constantine said, "In other words, he doesn't believe in our conditions at all. That's why he isn't tempted."
Ninian said, "Although it's impossible for me to marry him, it's true that he can become the leader of the foreign tribe army. Why isn't he tempted?"
Constantine said, "Because he feels that the leader of the foreign tribe army is already his. Suo Mo has already promised it himself."
Ninian said, "In short, this person is too scheming and unruly. I can't use him."
Constantine squinted his eyes and said, "Ninian, why do you dislike him so much?"
Ninian said, "Didn't you see what he did to me today?"
Constantine said, "You dislike him because he didn't fall for you. That made you feel defeated, so you want to get rid of him."
Ninian's expression immediately turned serious. She smiled sweetly at Constantine and said, "Father, even if that's the reason, there's nothing wrong with it."
Constantine nodded and said, "Indeed, there's nothing wrong with a demonic genius that I can't use. I have to get rid of him!"
"Then I'll go back," Ninian said.
When she walked out of the tent, Constantine said, "Ninian, what if Father really let you inherit the position of chief?"
Ninian said expressionlessly, "That's impossible. In the Wild World, martial prowess is respected. My martial arts skills are far inferior to my brother's."
Then, she left.
Constantine sighed. He was really conflicted.
His son, Constantine II, was his only heir. He inherited his father's viciousness and his martial arts skills were very high. However, he was not scheming enough and only knew how to be ruthless.
His daughter, Ninian, completely inherited his wisdom and scheming. Unfortunately, she was a girl and her martial arts skills were not as high as his son's.
It would be great if the two of them combined their strengths. But in that case, wouldn't he be exactly the same as himself?
…
Over at the Wild Horse tribe, the tribe's shaman high priest arrived. He was so old that his age could not be determined.
The chief told the old shaman about Lan Ling's miracle today.
"Then will our tribe's warriors feel fear when they hear his roar?" the old shaman asked.
The chief shook his head and said, "No, it's just that the warhorses are frightened and run away frantically."
The old shaman said, "This is a special kind of demonic bloodline. It has a strong deterrent effect on wild beasts and can summon the ancient memories of many wild beasts."
The chief said, "Is it very powerful?"
The old shaman said, "Very special."
The chief said, "Is there a solution?"
The old shaman said, "Actually, with his ability, he can only intimidate a dozen or so warhorses at once. It won't have much effect on large-scale battles."
The chief said, "Then is there a way to make our cavalry not fear him?"
The old shaman nodded and said, "Yes, when do you think a person is fearless?"
The chief said, "When he's drunk."
The old shaman said, "Yes, but when he's drunk, he'll be delirious and stagger when he walks. There's another kind of situation, when he's excited, he doesn't know fear or even pain. "
The chief said, "Elder, just tell me directly if there's a way to make our warhorses not fear that kid, or else we won't be able to fight this battle."
The old shaman said, "Yes, just mix it with boiling powder and mix it into the warhorses' fodder. After eating it, the warhorses will feel alert and excited, and they will be brave and fearless. But the consequence is that after two days, the warhorses will be very tired and depressed. "
The chief said, "Alright, then it's worth it!"
…
The next morning!
Constantine received a message from a black crow. He then ordered the army to retreat a few miles and set up camp on a hilltop.
The Wild Horse tribe's chief immediately laughed and led his tribe to make fun of Constantine, mocking him for being as timid as a mouse and retreating before the real battle had even started.
In this way, the gloom brought by Lan Ling's two duels yesterday on the Wild Horse tribe was swept away.
Anyway, this battle was started by Constantine, so the Wild Horse tribe was not in a hurry.
If they dragged on like this, and there was no result in the end, it would be considered the Chimera tribe's defeat, because he was the one who started the war.
But on the night of two days later, the Wild Horse tribe's chief received bad news.
"The 11,000 soldiers of the Akara tribe have left their tribe and seem to be marching towards the Wild Horse tribe."
All signs indicated that the 11,000 soldiers of the Akara tribe were heading for the Wild Horse tribe's lair.
Immediately, the Wild Horse tribe's chief felt his hair stand on end, and then he started cursing.
"Shameless Constantine, a bastard born from a butthole, how dare he be so despicable!"
"No wonder this old bastard dared to start a war with the 10,000 people of the Wild Horse tribe with only 8,000 people."
"No wonder after the war started, that old bastard Constantine didn't fight, but kept stalling for time."
The Wild Horse tribe's chief worried about everything, and in the end, he madly worried about Constantine's parents.
He was a straightforward person with a violent temper. When Constantine challenged him to a battle, he brought his army to fight without saying a word. He didn't expect Constantine to be so insidious. He had already conspired with the Akara tribe to divide the Wild Horse tribe between the two tribes.
"Bastard of the Akara tribe, isn't it afraid that after the army leaves the tribe, someone else will lead the army to raid its home?" The Wild Horse tribe's chief said angrily, "And now the Chimera tribe's lair is empty. Why not attack him, but me? Do they think I'm easy to bully?"
After cursing the Akara tribe for a while, the Wild Horse tribe's chief calmed down.
Things had already happened, and the danger had already arrived. There was no point in cursing anymore.
"How far is the Akara tribe's army from our lair?" the Wild Horse tribe's chief asked.
"Should be less than 300 miles," the scout said.
The Wild Horse tribe had to make a choice. Should they bring their army back to defend their home, or should they end the battle quickly with the Chimera tribe?
"Chief, if we bring our army back to our home at this time, the Chimera tribe will definitely follow closely and attack us from behind," a tribal elder said. A tribal elder said, "And the most frightening thing is that if we were to be attacked by the Chimera and Akara Tribes, then it would really be over. Our 10,000 people might be completely annihilated."
"Yes, the only way now is to end the battle quickly, defeat Constantine as soon as possible, and then return to the tribe," another tribal elder said. Another tribal general said, "Once we defeat the Chimera Tribe, the Ankara Tribe will also take the initiative to retreat. Otherwise, when they attack our tribe, we will directly attack from behind, and they will be attacked from the back. "
It seemed that ending the battle quickly was indeed the only way.
The Wild Horse tribe's chief gritted his teeth for a while, then decisively said, "Tomorrow morning, the entire army will move out and attack the Chimera tribe's army!"
…
Just like that, under Constantine's scheming, his 8,000 troops changed from being on the offensive to the defensive!
Moreover, his main camp was set up on the mountain, so they had a commanding position.
In this way, the 8,000 soldiers that were originally insufficient were now more than enough. On the battlefield, the Chimera tribe went from being at a disadvantage to an advantage, from being passive to taking the initiative.
Moreover, the 4,000 cavalrymen of the Wild Horse tribe could have been the trump card on the battlefield, but at this time, most of their combat power had been crippled.
This was because Constantine's main camp was set up on the mountain, and the slope was steep. It was very strenuous for the cavalrymen to charge uphill, and their combat power had been reduced by more than half.
At night, Chief Constantine held the final pre-battle discussion.
Actually, there was nothing to discuss. They just had to defend the camp and not let the Wild Horse tribe's army break through.
In the end, Constantine looked at Du Yan, Yang Gu, and Qiu Ju and said, "I'll remember my promise. This battle will decide the fate of our tribe. I'll betroth Nini 'an to the one who contributes the most."
As soon as he said this, the three of them felt their blood boil again, and they rubbed their palms together.
However, this was impossible, because in the end, there would definitely be two people with exactly the same military service. No matter what, it would be exactly the same.
…
The next morning!
The entire battlefield became extremely tense and intense, filled with the pressure of an impending storm.
The sky was still dark, but all the soldiers were already stationed at their positions.
The Chimera tribe's main camp was very simple. It only had two layers of walls.
These two layers of walls were made of wood, and were only three to four meters tall. The defending soldiers stood on the platform behind the walls.
Lan Ling's foreign army was used as cannon fodder, so of course they were placed on the outer walls. The 800 foreign soldiers had to guard the walls that were 500 meters tall.
The other troops of the Chimera tribe had reserve troops that could be replaced, but the foreign soldiers did not have reserve troops. If they all died, then so be it.
The first ray of sunlight had just shone when the entire battlefield rang with the sound of war drums.
Then, the 10,000 soldiers of the Wild Horse tribe began to gather, preparing to attack the Chimera tribe's military camp.
Both sides had come out in full force. This was going to be an extremely tragic and bloody battle, and it would basically end in a day.
Lan Ling checked his sword, bow, and arrows, as well as his backup longbow.
He carefully wiped his arrows with a piece of cloth. Previously in the human kingdom, he had used black gold arrowheads, but now he did not even have steel arrows. There were only a small number of iron sword heads, and a considerable number of bone arrowheads.
The foreign soldiers were too poor, and Lan Ling's demand for arrows was too great. He could not afford to buy so many iron arrows.
"Lan Ling, come out." Suddenly, Du Yan's voice sounded. He appeared in front of Lan Ling, dressed in bright armor and riding a tall horse.
"What's the matter?" Lan Ling said.
Du Yan said, "The real battle is here, and there is no room for you to display your perverted skills. Didn't you want to compete with me in terms of numbers and military achievements? "
Lan Ling nodded. "Yes, if I win, you have to kowtow to Uncle and admit your mistake. If I lose, I will not go near Dina. "
Du Yan said, "Add one more condition. If you lose, you have to kowtow to Miss Ninian and admit your mistake!"
Lan Ling was speechless. Du Yan, in order to curry favor with the chief's daughter, you are actually willing to go to any lengths.
Aren't you afraid that your brothers in the foreign army will have a bad opinion of you for proposing such a condition?
Lan Ling laughed. "Alright, since you've added a condition, I'll also add one. If I win, not only will you kneel to Uncle and admit your mistake, but the food and meat for the foreign army will also be increased by 30%. "
Du Yan's face twitched. This bastard Lan Ling, he never forgot to win people's hearts. Moreover, this condition was not something he could agree to.
Lan Ling wanted to mention that if Du Yan lost, he would be kicked out of the foreign army. But he could not mention this condition, as it would destroy the unity of the foreign army. Instead, it would increase the treatment of the foreign army and win the hearts of the people.
"Alright." Constantine said, "I agree. If Lan Ling's military achievements exceed Du Yan's, the foreign army's food supply will be increased by 30% in the future."
Constantine then said to Du Yan, "Lan Ling already has 23 military achievements. Do you feel any pressure?"
"His strength is worlds apart from mine. If it wasn't for seeking justice for Miss Ninian, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to compete with me." Du Yan sneered.
At this moment, the Wildhorse tribe's chief roared, "Go to war! Kill all of Constantine's lackeys!"
Then, the Wildhorse tribe's army of 10,000 charged forward.
The decisive battle began!
Lan Ling held his bow and arrow. The real opportunity to reap heads had arrived. It was time to create another miracle.
