775 Cool As A Cucumber (2/2)
If the Taoist Faction won, then this Great Yue Ruler could naturally save a lot of effort. However, if Zong Shou won, then he would flee immediately.
However, at this moment, there were dozens of square formations in front of the city. They were all on full alert, killing intent charging into the clouds. They obviously didn't think that the Ruler could survive the tribulation.
After Yuan Weiling said this, Zhang Huai was just sitting high up on the walls in a relaxed manner, showing no intention to reply to him at all.
His expression instantly became really unpleasant. He didn't say much else, calmly looking at Zhang Huai once more.
”Let's hope half a day later when the knife and blades are on your body that you can still be so calm…”
After saying this, he rode the horse back in the direction of his main camp.
Zhang Huai's eyes flashed and then he felt a little interested.
”It is still unknown whether or not I will be faced with blades and sabers. On the contrary, you are the one invading my country so what kind of logic is this? You are starting a war, aren't you afraid the people will blame you?”
”For no reason?”
Yuan Weiling's body stopped as he also halted the footsteps of the War Beast below him.
”Your Gantian Mountain went against the path and used that new policy; killing gentries, disregarding birth and status and treating the people brutally? My Great Yue is asking for an answer, so why are we wrong? Just looking at the southern cities and one can tell. The people have suffered so badly under your Gantian Mountain! I remember that two years ago your Ruler Zong Shou used those ten million civilians as an excuse to occupy Huizhou. So, you can allow your Ruler to start a war, but not me for solving their problems?”
”You can do so!”
Zhang Huai laughed when he heard this, ”However, the price to pay isn't small! I hope that Ruler is mentally prepared…”
Yuan Weiling was too lazy to reply, scoffing coldly. He continued to ride his mount back in the direction of his camp.
However, in the next moment, he heard a cold horn sound out from behind him.
Following this, the earth trembled and the mountains and rivers shook.
Yuan Weiling's expression changed slightly. The mount under him followed his mind and flew up to 1,000 feet high. He looked out into the distance.
He saw that dozens of miles away, there was a giant army that was marching from behind.
Leading the army were the 50,000 Big Dipper Sword Soldiers and the Big Dipper Crossbow Soldiers.
Behind them were an extremely Elite Army. Looking out, there were 300,000 of them. None of them was below Grade-3!
At this moment, not only Yuan Weiling, the many generals within the Great Yue army were all filled with disbelief. The entire army was terrified.
A dark glow flashed in Yuan Weiling's eyes.
Before attacking Huizhou, he did think that this might be a trap.
Thus, only after confirming that Gantian Mountain's elites moved north and that half of them boarded ships did he make up his mind.
After coming to shore, he prepared really carefully. He sent out scouts to search hundreds of miles around. There were troops housed at the few important paths.
Logically speaking, it was impossible that the enemy troops would reach their backs without them knowing.
However, how did this army appear here?
They were like troops descending from the heavens as they appeared in front of him?
He looked left and right and could see 2 battalions of 200,000 soldiers each moving forward. They were also an Elite Army.
Zhang Huai laughed out loud, ”I might not die, but today it will be tough for Ruler to escape alive!”
Yuan Weiling's eyes constricted. He then calmed down, as cool as a cucumber.
There was not much for him to worry about today. He just needed to wait quietly for the results from Gantian Mountain.
