The thirty thousand soldiers from the Dongting Protectorate were marching southward, their orderly footsteps shaking the earth.
A young girl in gorgeous silver armor stood at the forefront of the army. She wore a feathered helmet and a bright red cloak. She was sitting on a tall and strong white horse. The thick milky-white mane on the horse's neck fluttered in the wind.
She sat upright on the saddle, surrounded by her personal guards and flags. The horse's hooves moved forward step by step, leading the entire army forward.
At this moment, besides her guards and battalion officers, there were more than ten Army of God soldiers dressed in Victory Army uniforms, as well as more than twenty Xuanfu Xuanxiu soldiers dressed in Xuanxiu Daoist robes.
The neat military formation, the forest of spears, the same color of military armor, and the flags that kept flying in the wind. When they walked over, it was like a mountain or an ocean. This scene was extremely shocking.
Aikulu's expression was extremely unsightly. Not only did he feel threatened by the approaching army, but he also saw dozens of lights in front of his army that ordinary people could not see.
This meant that even if these people were not Tianxia's descendants, they had extraordinary strength like his priests.
At this moment, he actually felt an inexplicable sense of fear and dread.
He grabbed Kamo, who was still in shock, and roared, "Go to the altar. If necessary, I want to see 'Trotti'!"
Kamo seemed to wake up from a dream and said, "Yes, yes." He hurriedly called for the other priests to run toward the altar.
At the same time, the deafening war drums sounded in the camp. The entire Tough Claw Tribe, facing the pressure of the Protectorate army, hurriedly began to gather their forces. The two Suanni were also quickly led to the front. However, their senses were more sensitive than humans', and at this moment, they felt a grave sense of unease and were trembling, completely lacking their usual ferocity.
Aikulu cursed inwardly. After making arrangements for his subordinates, he pushed aside the people beside him and strode toward Zhang Yu's group.
When Zhang Yu walked out of the hut, he had already noticed the appearance of the opposing army. He also saw Yang Ying's figure at the front.
He thought about it. Before the academy arranged for him to pacify the Tough Claw Tribe, the Protectorate probably did not have any plans to send troops. This operation should have been decided at the last minute, or there was an unexpected situation. Otherwise, there was no reason for him to not know.
However, he felt that this was also good. In reality, it was much better for the Protectorate army to appear now than later.
At this moment, he heard a loud roar, "Tianxia's descendants, do you really want to fight with us?"
Zhang Yu turned his head and saw Aiku's figure walking over. He said, "Whether we fight or make peace, it's up to you."
Aikulu looked at him and realized that what Zhang Yu said in the hut was not a threat, but a real one. However, he did not want to see a war at this time.
There were only about ten thousand people from the Tough Claw Tribe on the plains, and half of them were still on the way. Even though the priests were all present and the altar had been built, the priests and gods on the other side were not just for show. If a war broke out, he could not bear the losses.
He said in a low voice, "Tianxia's descendants, I hope that your army can stop first. You know that fighting now is not good for us. We can slowly discuss the conditions."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and called Wu Shijiao over. He said, "Wu Shijiao, you are the most suitable person for this matter. You go to the front."
He could see very clearly that the army was not here to fight. Otherwise, they would not have rushed to send troops before the results of the negotiations were out. If they really wanted to fight, even if they prepared for a few more days, the strength of the army would be greatly different.
Wu Shijiao said, "Envoy, leave it to me." He pulled over a horse and held up the long banner that symbolized his identity as an envoy, and rushed forward.
Aikulu looked at the countless flags that fluttered in the wind. There were many Tianxia characters on them. He could guess that these flags represented the identity of the people who came. He asked Zanuitsa, but the latter did not know anything.
He pushed him away and said, "Tianxia's descendants, I want to know the people behind these flags and their identities. I hope you don't mind?"
As the envoy, Zhang Yu was responsible for communication. These flags were used to control his own troops and also to deter the enemy. It was not impossible to tell the Tough Claw Tribe.
He called Yu Mingyang over and said, "Mingyang, go over to them. You can explain the situation clearly."
Yu Mingyang clasped his hands and said seriously, "Yes, sir."
At this moment, in the front of the army, Yang Ying was holding a whip in one hand and reins in the other. She held her head high and steadily moved forward against the strong wind.
At the start of the journey, she was still a little nervous and uneasy, but when she got on her warhorse and led the army forward, all of her weakness disappeared and was replaced by excitement. At this moment, she had a feeling that with a wave of her hand, she could crush anything in front of her.
At this moment, she suddenly saw someone riding a horse out of the camp in front of her, holding something high in his hand.
The camp supervisor urged his horse to her side and said, "Captain, it might be the envoy. The Tough Claw Tribe is not far ahead. Should we stop first?"
Yang Ying now knew how to listen to other people's opinions. When she heard this, she immediately raised her whip and said, "Stop."
The personal guard immediately blew the horn to stop, and the military order was passed down layer by layer.
As the melodious bugle horn sounded, the long military formation from near to far came to a stop, and the weapons in their hands slammed down heavily. A moment later, the tens of thousands of soldiers had become silent, and only the fluttering of the flags on the plains could be heard.
At this moment, Wu Shijiao was coming forward. His horse was startled by such a situation, and it raised its hooves, almost throwing him off. He hurriedly grabbed the reins, and after calming it down, he slowly trotted forward.
At this time, two of Yang Ying's personal guards galloped out, and then one on the left and one on the right, sandwiched Wu Shijiao in the middle, and escorted him forward.
Not long after, the three of them arrived under the banner.
Wu Shijiao knew Yang Ying. First, he clasped his hands and was about to say something when Yang Ying suddenly said, "Sir is in front? Is Sir well? "
Wu Shijiao was startled, and after a while, he said, "Is it the envoy? Yes, the envoy is here. Captain, don't worry, the envoy is well. "
Yang Ying said happily, "I'm going to see Sir!" She lifted the scarlet cloak behind her, and with a flick of her whip, she galloped out. Behind her, the personal guards holding the banner and the other guards also urged their horses to follow.
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of shouts from the army.
Inside the camp, Aikulu was holding a spike in his hand. He saw the dozens of people with extraordinary strength suddenly rushing out of the army under the lead of a young girl, and headed towards his camp. His pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but growl to Yu Mingyang beside him, "What's going on? Are you going to start a war? "
Yu Mingyang glanced over and said, "Don't worry Chieftain, there are only a few people coming, they should be here to talk." He was also puzzled, there were less than 200 people, why was this tall and ferocious Chieftain so nervous?
At this time, there were also barbarians coming over to ask what to do. Aikulu's expression was uncertain, and he waved his hand and said, "Let them in." He understood that if these people were really here to start a war with him, then the fences and guards would be a joke, so he might as well be more generous.
Yang Ying saw the barbarians open up a path, and smoothly rushed into the camp. She immediately saw Zhang Yu, An Chuer and the others standing there, and her eyes lit up, revealing a happy expression.
After urging her horse closer, she jumped off and threw her helmet to the people behind her, and then clasped her hands together. Solemnly, she bowed and said, "Sir!"
Zhang Yu accepted this bow, and then clasped his hands together and said, "Greetings, Captain Aikulu."
The first bow was because he was a teacher, and the other party was a student. The second bow was because Yang Ying was the Captain Aikulu, the commander of this army, and he was the envoy appointed by the Governor-General.
At this time, he raised his head and looked at the Xuanxiu and Army of God behind Yang Ying. These people saw his gaze and nodded at him.
He knew that there were many Xuanfu and Army of God people in the Governor-General's residence, but in reality, these people only had one identity in these two places, and one way to obtain extraordinary power, but in essence, they were all trusted aides of the Governor-General's residence, and usually did not appear outside.
If there was a conflict between the two sides, they would not hesitate to stand on the side of the Governor-General's residence.
This was the situation left behind by the previous Governor-General.
After Yang Ying finished her bow, she turned to look at An Chuer, and went up to her, and happily said, "Chuer, are you okay?" She looked at the familiar faces around her, "Is everyone okay?"
An Chuer said, "We are all fine. Fortunately, Sir is here. "She smiled again, and playfully winked," Fortunately, Captain Yang, you are here. "
Yang Ying suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She waved her horsewhip, turned around, and said, "Sir, let's go back?"
Zhang Yu said, "The negotiations with the Tough Claw tribe are not over, I can't leave yet."
Yang Ying was a little nervous, "Sir, I, I didn't cause trouble for you, right?"
Zhang Yu said, "No, you came at the right time. According to my original plan, I'm afraid there will be a few more rounds. Now that you are here, I think the negotiations will be much easier."
"So, this time I helped Sir?"
Yang Ying heard this sentence, and her mood immediately rose, suddenly feeling that she was not so useless.
But she did not know that this time, she had personally led an army to deter the barbarians. At this moment, she was dressed in military attire, but in the eyes of the students, she was full of valiance and prestige, and attracted many admiring gazes.
"Who is that woman?"
Aikulu looked forward and asked Yu Mingyang.
Yu Mingyang said, "That is the Protector General's sister, Captain Yang of the Protector General's personal guards." At this point, he puffed out his chest, "She is my classmate, and also Sir's student."
There was a lot of information in this sentence, and Yu Mingyang directly translated some of it. Aikulu did not understand, so he could only ask Zanuitsa.
Zanuitsa said, "Great Chieftain, he said that woman is the King of Dongting's sister, and also the Tianxia god's descendant who negotiated with us … um, the successor."
He did not know how to translate Sir and student, but fortunately, he could understand it in the way a priest led an apprentice.
Aikulu looked at Zhang Yu with some surprise, he did not expect the latter's status to be so high, and could not help but feel that he was greatly respected. But he did not realize that in the past, he would not have such thoughts at all.
But when he looked at Yang Ying again, his face turned ugly, and in his heart, he completely rejected the idea of marrying this woman.
A woman who could lead an army was not what he wanted, and the key was that she was the successor of a god's descendant. In the future, it was very likely that she would become a high priest, with tribal power and the power of a god, how could this be?
If such a strong woman came to the tribe, who would listen to whom?
Would I still be the Great Chieftain?
