328 Chapter 328 Become my Subject and Break Your Arm (1/2)
In front of 170 thousand elite armored soldiers, a giant bright yellow umbrella was raised. Below it was a large carriage. It wasn't the one that Zong Shou had people craft for him recently but one he took from people nearby. However, it was still luxuriously decorated.
However, in front of this huge army formation, no matter what, it didn't fit in.
Roughly 40 thousand feet in front was huge stone bases built up to 300 feet. One couldn't see how thick it was or how many soldiers there were within. One only knew that there were many crossbows and bows were placed above, making one's heart turn cold.
Logically speaking this 40 thousand foot was within the range of those eight-arm energy destroying crossbows.
However at this moment with Hu Qianqiu, Qiu Wei and the many other Xuanwu ancestor experts standing beside the golden umbrella, no one thought that these normal weapons could harm the person beneath it. It would just be a waste of arrows.
Zong Shou sat within the carriage, his hand holding onto a silk paper, his expression solemn.
On it wrote many names, this letter naturally came from Ruo Shui.
”As expected!”
Sighing slightly, Zong Shou placed the silk paper preciously into his heaven and earth-bag.
Ruo Shui had arranged many spies within Weining and Shende Provinces. They were either cleaned out or went missing or surrendered to the enemy. The scouts that Hu Zhongyuan sent from the army suffered heavy injuries. With just martial ancestor realm experts alone, the number of deaths reached a high number.
...With just the strength of Yunxia and Blazing Flame Mountain, it would be tough to achieve. It must be those sects who interfered who were able to create such a firm lockdown of information.
It blocked off all information of Huling Hill and interfered in the judgment of Hu Qianqiu and the others.
”After this matter ends, these people will get compensated…”
When Ruo Shui heard that, she immediately got down the soft mattress and kneeled solemnly towards Zong Shou. Her expression was surprisingly silent.
Zong Shou mocked himself, Zong Weiran didn't have a single simple opponent.
So nearly was Feng Nu and Xiong Ba able to turn the tables.
Qiu Wei who was solemn waiting at the side seemed to know his thoughts, turning around his head and looking into the carriage, ”The ruler doesn't need to care so much. If you see more of this death and injury matters, you wouldn't be so affected anymore, it is normal. In a chaotic time, it is like that. As for that Xiong Ba and Feng Nu, they are intelligent. As expected from mighty lords. However, as compared to you they aren't much. In the end, both of them still lost to you.”
Zong Shou couldn't help but laugh, he wasn't feeling sad because of such small amounts of losses.
He just felt a little emotional about how difficult it was to conquer the world. With just one small piece of land, he had 2 opponents who were so difficult to handle. One can imagine how strong the other rulers in the 5 continents and 12 islands would be.
Who knows how that future god-emperor was able to unify the cloud world…
He should just focus and pay attention to cultivating and perfecting his sword path.
Hu Qianqiu seemed to get a little impatient as he waited, feeling slightly curious,” Ruler, you said that Feng Nu and Xiong Ba will take the initiative to find you, however, till now there were no signs of them. Are they tricking us? With their personalities, they definitely wouldn't take the initiative to ask for peace unless they were in a dead-end.”
”Uncle Hu please don't be impatient and wait a little more…”
Just as Zong Shou said that it stopped in his sentence. He looked afar behind those stone bases, where suddenly a group of people popped out. The leader was Feng Nu.
In just a moment another group of roughly 5 thousand cavalry also galloped over. The one in front whose body looked exceptionally majestic was Xiong Ba.
In a short moment, the 2 of them had merged and traveled over together towards Zong Shou's carriage. They stopped roughly 20 thousand feet away, looking coldly and curiously over.
However, Zong Shou didn't speak and just smiled over.
In the end Feng Nu couldn't take it as he opened up,” Feng Nu is here to meet city lord Zong to seek peace. What is going to take for us to stop this war?”
”This war was started by you, so what do you say I should do?”
Zong Shou stood up, sizing up these 2 people. In the previous time on Psychic Island when they met he only had a hurried glance at them.
At this point, he was slightly interested and took a closer look.
In the future in the game, in the era when the god-emperor era began, these 2 people weren't around anymore. He also had close to ten thousand years more knowledge than the two of them.
However, without a doubt, these 2 people were indeed strong foes. If he didn't destroy their cloud ships it would be really difficult to obtain victory in a head-on battle.
Hu Qianqiu was at a loss. Feng Nu really could take the humiliation, really asking for peace. And a moment later a group of cavalry surged over and whispered a few words in his ear.
Hu Qianqiu laughed out loud, his voice shaking the heavens. So Zong Yuan had already arrived, he had just arrived on the battle formation. His attacks were just so sharp and clean.
Feng Nu glanced at him, his face dark and sunken before turning back to Zong Shou, ”I will use gold to ask Lingyun Sect and Mysterious cloud spirit Sect to guarantee. We will give up Weining Province in exchange for a 5-year ceasefire. Within those 5 years, if anyone breaks it, the sects will join hands and strike. Is City lord Zong agreeable to that?”
