Yang Wu was no longer a three-year-old child. After going through many hardships, he had become an iron-blooded man. His wisdom had matured and he wasn't someone that Meng Helang could sway with just a few words.
He already knew that the barbarian army had surrounded the barbarian army. However, he didn't interfere and didn't care about it.
He already had some understanding of the barbarians. They were men of their word and wouldn't go back on what they had promised him. If the barbarians went back on their word and massacred more than a hundred thousand barbarians, he wouldn't let them off so easily.
He believed that the barbarians also knew how powerful he was and that he had the ability to do so.
It was precisely because of this thought that he calmly stayed here to cultivate.
No matter what the outcome was, he vowed to return to Monarch City. It was just a matter of whether he would return with glory or kill his way back.
Now, it seemed that the barbarians were keeping their promise. At the same time, Great Xia was starting to panic.
Meng Helang and the rest came to look for him. It could be seen that the barbarian army was putting a lot of pressure on Great Xia.
Meng Helang's mouth was dry, but it was useless. What Yang Wu wanted wasn't as simple as being reinstated. How could others understand the disaster that his Yang family had suffered and the blow that they had suffered? Especially his younger brother, who was a top scholar. Before he could realize his ambitions, he was forced to give up his official position and leave his hometown. That kind of pain was deeply ingrained in Yang Wu's bones.
His brother, who was as close as brothers, had become like this because of him. He wanted to take back what he had lost and give his brother a bright future.
Meng Helang couldn't persuade Yang Wu. He could only return to Monarch City quickly and report Yang Wu's request to the Emperor for him to make a decision.
The Emperor didn't have the mood to think about it. He immediately announced the release of Yang Zhennan and his wife and conferred the title of imperial envoy to Yang Wu. He was promoted to the position of lieutenant general and count, representing Great Xia to sign a peace treaty with the barbarians.
This imperial edict was quickly sent to the Wolf Smoke Mountain Range and read out to Yang Wu by Meng Helang.
After listening to the imperial edict, Yang Wu revealed a satisfied smile. He bowed slightly and received the imperial edict, "Thank you for your grace."
Yang Wu's acceptance of the imperial edict was a complete disdain for the Imperial Court and the Emperor. However, Meng Helang and the others didn't even dare to fart.
Yang Wu was already so powerful that even the barbarians listened to him and were willing to negotiate peace with him for ten years. This alone was something that no one in Great Xia could do. Even the War King of Death, who was once the strongest in the world, didn't have this ability.
Since Yang Wu had done it, he had the right to put on airs. After all, the imperial court was acting according to Yang Wu's wishes.
This was equivalent to having a high merit overshadowing the master, and it was easy to be feared by others. Yang Wu no longer cared about this. He was a person who had been in prison, on the battlefield, and experienced life and death. Why would he be afraid of those rumors?
He could clearly feel that once he had absolute power, even the Emperor would have to act according to his wishes.
If he hadn't been born in Great Xia and missed his family, he wouldn't have had to go through so many twists and turns. He could have left his hometown to cultivate in seclusion and come back to take revenge when he had unparalleled combat power.
Now, the official title given by Great Xia was not bad. He was directly promoted to count. The title of nobility was a symbol of Great Xia's nobility. Many people who had an official position might not have a title of nobility. They had to have been officials for three generations or had made great contributions before they could receive the title.
Yang Wu's father, Yang Zhennan, was originally a hereditary count. In his generation, he could only be a hereditary viscount. That was considered a symbol of nobility in Monarch City. Now that he could become a count, he wasn't any worse than his father.
Yang Wu didn't push his luck. Even if it wasn't a problem for him to become a marquis with his contributions and strength, things had to be done step by step. He couldn't be anxious.
"Yang Wu … Count, what do you think about the negotiation? Our people are running out of food. If this goes on, they will starve to death even if they don't get killed by the barbarian army, "Meng Helang said.
"Alright, let's go." Yang Wu said and waved his hand in a direction. A beauty riding a Dragon Blooded Horse appeared, followed by a tortoise and a tiger. Both of them emitted the strong aura of a Demon King.
Meng Helang exclaimed in his heart, "Yang Wu has really made a name for himself."
Before this, he had already regarded Yang Wu as a dead man. In his heart, he was optimistic about Yang Wu. He believed that Yang Wen would eventually come back after going through hardships and ascending to a high position. But now, Yang Wen hadn't done anything, but Yang Wu had already caused such a huge commotion. Furthermore, his strength had already reached such a high level. Meng Helang was filled with regret. If he hadn't helped Yang Wu in the Mountain Prison, or if he hadn't set up obstacles for Yang Wu, perhaps Yang Wu wouldn't be so estranged from his uncle.
Yang Wu and Meng Bingxue rode the Dragon Blooded Horse together and slowly headed towards the barbarian army.
Many of the generals in the barbarian army had already been captured. It could be said that they were like a group of dragons without a leader. Moreover, they were surrounded by the barbarian army. Whoever dared to break out of the encirclement would be killed on the spot.
They had a lot of people, but without a powerful King, they couldn't fight against the barbarian army. They could only obediently stay where they were and wait for the imperial court to send someone to save them.
"So many days have passed. Why hasn't anyone come to save us? Could it be that the imperial court has already given up on us?"
"I'm so hungry. I want to find something to eat. Otherwise, I'll die."
"Let's just fight it out with those barbarians. If we can kill one, it'll be one. If we can kill two, we'll have profited."
"Why are all of you quarreling? Our generals have all been captured by the barbarians. What right do we have to fight them? Let's just wait. The imperial court will definitely help us out."
"What are we waiting for? Let's fight it out with the barbarians. Rather than waiting for death here, we might as well fight it out with them."
…
As time passed, a portion of the Great Xia soldiers couldn't help but become restless. Someone even took the lead and charged towards the barbarian army.
The barbarians had always been at odds with the Great Xia soldiers. The barbarians surrounded the Great Xia soldiers but didn't kill them. It wasn't because they were merciful, but because they were forced to follow orders. That was why they suppressed their anger and didn't kill the Great Xia soldiers. Now that someone dared to attack them, they could finally raise their weapons and slash at the Great Xia soldiers.
"How dare you prisoners be so arrogant? Kill all of you!" a barbarian general shouted.
One by one, the barbarian soldiers attacked the Great Xia soldiers without hesitation.
Both armies were impulsive.
The Great Xia soldiers were starving. They were prepared to fight to the death and kill as many barbarians as they could.
The barbarian soldiers already had enmity with the Great Xia soldiers. They were full of energy and had astonishing brute force. When they killed, they wouldn't show any mercy.
The barbarian kings here had already noticed the commotion, but they turned a blind eye to it. It was also a good thing to let the soldiers vent their anger.
Following the start of the small-scale killing, both armies started to become restless. The Great Xia soldiers thought that the barbarians were going to kill them, while the barbarians thought that the Great Xia soldiers were going to kill their way out. Naturally, they wouldn't let the Great Xia soldiers succeed.
Just when both armies were about to riot, Shi Shafeng, as the great general, couldn't let the situation turn out like this. He soared into the sky and roared, "Everyone, stop!"
Unfortunately, his words could only intimidate the soldiers of his own race and couldn't suppress the Great Xia soldiers.
"Since we are going to die anyway, why don't we kill two more barbarian thieves?"
"That's right, let's fight it out together. We won't die cowardly deaths."
"Kill! I'm going to go all out today."
…
The threats of the barbarian kings were no longer effective. The Great Xia soldiers completely rioted and wanted to fight to the death with the barbarians.
It was a mess.
It was a complete mess.
The strength of both armies started to compare. Although the barbarians had the upper hand, they had some misgivings. If they really went on a killing spree, they would be completely disobeying the orders of the patriarch and the three guardians. If that happened, they would be punished.
"Stop these Great Xia soldiers, stop them. Don't be heavy-handed." Shi Shafeng started to get anxious. He ordered loudly and at the same time, he swooped down onto the battlefield and knocked down the Great Xia soldiers one by one.
However, with so many people rioting, it was impossible for both armies to not have casualties. Some of the Great Xia soldiers were killed, and some of the barbarians were also killed. Screams and sounds of killing shook the sky, causing the battlefield to be in chaos.
"Bastards, I told you to suppress the Great Xia soldiers, not to kill them." Huangfu Dalong had been holding the line. After seeing the situation going out of control, he couldn't help but roar.
He hurriedly asked the other barbarian kings to take action together and do their best to suppress this riot. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain when Yang Wu appeared.
Even though these barbarian kings took action, it was of no use. Like Shi Shafeng, they could stop their own soldiers, but they couldn't stop the Great Xia soldiers.
"What should we do now?" Huangfu Dalong was extremely depressed as he shouted in alarm.
He couldn't just stand by and watch. With a few ups and downs, he knocked down wave after wave of Great Xia soldiers, displaying his Heaven Realm combat strength and suppressing everyone.
The three guardians and Huangfu Zhanxiong who were behind the barbarian army had already sensed the chaos.
"Who told them to start a war? How are we going to explain to Brother Yang Wu when he returns?" the barbarian bull demon shouted.
"These children are really insensible. It's fine if we just surround them. How can we make such a big fuss? Brother Yang Wu doesn't like to see this," the tigress also said in dissatisfaction.
The Celestial Phenomenon demon said to Huangfu Zhanxiong, "Patriarch, go and settle this matter immediately. We can't let Brother Yang Wu be unhappy."
"Guardians, the Great Xia soldiers couldn't take it anymore and started the fire first. Our Lang 'er was forced to resist," Huangfu Zhanxiong explained.
"No matter what, we must not kill the Great Xia soldiers. Peace is the most important thing," the Celestial Phenomenon demon said solemnly.
"I understand. I will try my best to make them stop." Huangfu Zhanxiong nodded deeply and ordered the generals beside him to settle this matter as soon as possible.
As for the Great Xia generals who were not far away, they heard the conversation between the three guardians and Huangfu Zhanxiong. All of them were shocked. They wondered if they had heard wrongly. The three Celestial Phenomenon demons seemed to be on Yang Wu's side. Even Huangfu Zhanxiong didn't dare to go against their wishes. What was going on? Was Yang Wu really that capable?
At this moment, Yang Wu arrived late. He immediately rushed to the sky and shouted, "All of you, stop!"
