Chapter 354 (2/2)
”Princess, Fang Zhengzhi had taken the Thunderous Lion Settlement, the Yan Ya Settlement and the s.h.i.+ Zun Settlement. Furthermore, his current military strength has expanded to almost thirty thousand people.” As the soldier spoke, his forehead dripped with sweat.
He had sprinted all the way here.
Of course, that wasn't the main reason he was soaked in sweat.
The main reason was that he was truly frightened. How many days did these incidents take to happen? Three main settlements were now all under Fang Zhengzhi's control.
This was simply terrifying.
It felt as if an wolf had leapt into a flock of sheep. Isn't this a little too extreme?
When Princess Shan Yu, who was lying on a golden coloured animal skin chair, heard this news, her initially casual and indolent expression turned into one of shock.
If it wasn't for the fact that the soldier was present.
She might have almost rolled off her chair in shock.
Her body, covered in white animal leather, began to tremble and her chest rose and fell rapidly. Her wheat coloured skin also turned somewhat flushed with red.
This was extreme surprise and delight. She had really never imagined that Fang Zhengzhi would be able to achieve this.
Furthermore…
He had done so in such a short span of time.
”This guy, really caused me to… be very shocked!” Princess Shan Yu murmured softly as her dark eyes flashed with light. ”Tell me in detail how did this guy do it.”
”Roger!” After hearing Princess Shan Yu's words, he immediately acknowledged and began to describe in great detail how Fang Zhengzhi had taken down Chen Hao's Thunder Light Settlement, then set up a trap within the Thunderous Lion Settlement to ambush Chen Feiyu and Wu Feng.
When the soldier finished his words.
Princess Shan Yu's expression changed again.
Her initial delight and surprise became somewhat awkward. When she thought of the scene in which Fang Zhengzhi tricked away Wu Feng's clothes and jade flute, she couldn't contain herself and scolded.
”This guy is just as shameless as before in his acts!”
”Princess, what arrangements do we need?”
”You can withdraw and rest for now, I will naturally have my own plans.”
”Roger.”
Within the Southern Mountain Range, on the peak of an extremely ordinary mountain, at the entrance of a certain concealed mountain cave, there was also a black figure, standing under the broad daylight. He seemed somewhat in a hurry.
”What is it that needs to be reported in the day?” When a man in black robe standing at the entrance saw this black figure, he immediately walked out from the side and blocked in front of the mountain cave entrance.
”Urgent matters!”
”Domain Chief is currently taking his afternoon rest, come again at night!”
”No, I must report this to Domain Chief right now. I wish that you will allow me to report immediately, else, if military intelligence is kept back and delayed, you will be responsible!” The black figure spoke with a cold expression.
”You… wait!” The black-robed man didn't speak any further, turned around and entered the cave. A moment later, he walked out. However, there was an additional bright red palm mark on his face.
”Enter!”
When the black-robed man spoke, his tone sounded clearly somewhat grieved.
”Thanks.” When the black figure saw the palm mark on the black-robed man's face, a faint sense of pity flashed across his lips. However, he didn't dare to delay any further.
Within the cave, Bai Xing lay on a glittering and translucent black stone. A faint icy aura was given off by the stone, causing the entire cave to feel somewhat chilly.
A blood-red demon eye was embedded on Bai Xing's forehead, adding a blood-like mystery to this chilly atmosphere.
”What?” Bai Xing's tone didn't sound very happy.
”Domain Chief, Fang Zhengzhi had taken down the Thunderous Lion Settlement, and defeated Wu Feng and Chen Feiyu. Now, he controls the Thunderous Lion Settlement, the s.h.i.+ Zun Settlement and the Yan Ya Settlement. Furthermore, he has almost thirty thousand soldiers.” The black figure felt the aura emitted from Bai Xing's body and didn't dare to beat around the bush. He cut straight to the point.
”What?! How can things happen like this?” Bai Xing's initially calm expression was finally broken.
”I heard that Fang Zhengzhi tricked Chen Feiyu and Wu Feng into entering the Thunderous Lion Settlement, then, set up an ambush.” The black figure instantly reported everything he knew.
”Well done Fang Zhengzhi, a few days ago, he is still within Princess Shan Yu's tent. Now, he already has control over three main settlements? This is truly somewhat unexpected.”
”Domain Chief, what should we do now? Should we make an early move?”
”There is no rush. The more troops Fang Zhengzhi has in his hands, the faster he dies. This time, he cannot run anymore! However… in order to prevent the unexpected, insert a few more people inside!”
”Understood.”
”You can leave.”
”Roger!”
The black figure quickly left.
On the other hand, Bai Xing didn't seem to have any further intention of sleeping. Instead, he slowly rose from the black stone and paced back and forth within the cave.
”Based on time calculations, Young Lord should be reaching by now.”
Fang Zhengzhi didn't know about the reactions of people from each side after eliminating Wu Feng.
In reality, he didn't even figure out that he was already in control of three main settlements. Only when General w.a.n.g reminded him on purpose, he seemed to realise that at this moment, he…
Seemed to have some bragging rights!
Within a short span of time, he had already controlled three of the four main settlements. The military force in his hands had almost reached thirty thousand troops. He was filled with power. All he had to do was to stamp his feet for the entire Southern Mountain Range to shake.
”Don't tell me that this is the legend about how intended actions never lead to good outcomes, but unintended actions result in great results?” Fang Zhengzhi raised his head to the sky and felt like a lonely champion without a worthy challenger.
Hence…
The next question was raised.
Where should he go and stamp his feet?
Fang Zhengzhi knew that the four main settlements were extremely dangerous. The Southern Mountain Range had already arranged for soldiers to be placed within the four main settlements. However, after possessing strong military forces, this feeling became somewhat different.
If it was said that the Fang Zhengzhi of before was a tiny sailboat in the middle of a tempestuous stormy sea that could flip at any time, now, he was riding a deluxe wars.h.i.+p.
Whenever he saw somebody he didn't fancy, he didn't have to speak anything more than one word…
Die!
