Shulitu was greatly shocked
Compared to most people in the Norland, he had read many books and received a short but excellent education He kne to use his status to win the hearts of the people with a carrot-and-stick approach However, the Dragon King’s risky on King was trying to turn fear and doubt into awe and obedience, but his opponents this time were the minds of tens of thousands of people
When he looked at the thousands of indecisive glances, Shulitu felt as if he were standing next to a newly captured beast, an untah silence, ready to open its iventhe thirty or so thousands of horsemen, there were several thousand soldiers that had been left to hiroup of people, Shulitu felt that they were unfamiliar and had little faith in their loyalty, not to roups, which only roup of soldiers who firmly believed that the Khan had ascended to heaven as the Fire God and that it was his ascension that was causing the Devil Bird to wreak havoc in the prairie
Shulitu did not even dare to touch this topic for fear of causing unnecessary anger to engulf him He hoped that time would alleviate the superstitions of the soldiers and that the soldiers would slowly transfer their deification of the Khan to hi broke this rule Not only had he raised a controversial issue in public, but he had also tried to change the people’s e bird that everyone feared from ‘devil’ to ‘God’
Shulitu had never been so nervous in his life before As he gripped the reins, he looked up at the sky like those dazed soldiers, fearing that the Devil Bird’s co that it would soon fall from the sky to conquer the heart of the soldiers
But no bird came The confrontation of the two ar ago
In fact, no one really understood the e whistle They had simply assumed that it was connected to the Devil Bird
As the whistle died down, the Dragon King urged his horse to trot to the shaht that he didn’t have to follow the Dragon King over there He had to admit that truthfully, he was still only twelve years old and couldn’t keep his coleaned froh to cope with the current situation
A son King One of the patterned with a red raven, the sy Fanyun and the other swords Snow Mountain had heard the whistle before When the Dragon King was trying to unify the Five Peaks, he had repeatedly whistled like this to summon the red-crowned roc to subdue the residents of the snow mountain
Unlike the Norland people, however, although the swords Snow Mountain feared the roc, they also respected it er of God
Therefore, when the Dragon King’s whistle ceased and the roc did not appear, the swordsmen felt that it was actually a call to them
Gu Shenwei hadn’t expected the roc to appear immediately He just wanted to create a mysterious and tense atmosphere, which would be better for what he was about to do next
As he expected, several shamans seemed to have fallen into a panic in front of the two armies The Great Shaman lost his cool and even wanted to ride back into the ar from the sky, he finally stopped his horse and wheeled around Though, he still did not dare stray too far away froroup of men who had just seized the rave ns of cowardice
Gu Shenas no stranger to the strategy of purposely s, and he had benefited a lot from it Meanwhile, he ell aware of its limitations It could be used to quickly conquer people’s hearts, but would never be able to sustain it
It was benefits that could do that; all kinds of benefits acted as a slower, butpeople
The calmness of the commander was also a benefit, as it implied responsibility and protection, which was related to the life and death of his soldiers
This hy he had pro Snow Mountain and e with that of the swordse of the Dragon King at all tin of fear
How could a man blessed by Heaven’s will shoardice before a mortal force?
The shamans had made a serious mistake, and Gu Shenwei decided to seize this rare opportunity
Gu Shenwei, together with the forty swordsalloping more than 70 of the distance between the two armies
This was yet another hint
The Great Shaman, who had already recovered from his panic and becohtless decrepit bird and said in an indistinct, gruff voice, “The Devil Bird has possessed this young ner has betrayed the Khan’s trust”
Then he turned his horse around and faced the large Black Horse e in a low voice
The Great Sha shaon King intodown fro, your trick has already been seen through How dare you send soenerals in the camps of the Court Attendants Army Hand over the crin to spare your life”
Gu Shenas very close to the Court Attendants Aruards, he could even see clearly the blankness and panic on the faces of the ordinary soldiers, all of whom looked exactly the 30,000 or so horseon King to hand over the criminals and confess his tricks because they couldn’t quite convince the soldiers to believe them The prophecy they had seen in the flaiant bird later, all had a tremendous effect on the Court Attendants Army No matter how abundant the proof was, the soldiers still believed these were miracles caused by the Khan
So the last resort of the Great Sha to confess in public
“Noabove the chanting of the Great Shaman “You are not qualified to er continue praying, the Great Shaon King, he raised his arms and snapped quickly, his voice so hoarse that the people around him could hardly hear him clearly “The Khan has endowed me with divine power He wants to see the death of the traitor through my eyes Court Attendants, follow the orders of the Khan, and prepare to release your arrows”
The other shamans jumped off of their horses too With their arms raised, the feathers on their bodies rattled They were like large flightless birds
A dozen paces away, nearly a hundred guards nocked their arrows first, with the 100,000 soldiers behind following son King and the swords Snow Mountain die, but the shamans ere close to each other would also die
