Ha Chilie was so embarrassed, and he didn’t think that fortune yed a trick on him: he was fighting with Dragon King a quarter of an hour ago, but after that, he had to yield to Dragon King for help.
There were many tribes in Wushan, of which the rtionship was intricate. They could be divided into two different groups. One believes that their ancestors were born and had lived there, Ha Chilie belonged to this category. The tribes that associated with him were basically kin to him. The other group had no ancestors to show off. They were mostly outsiders, attracted by rich mineral deposits, andpeted with locals for territory and interests, so they were nicknamed “mine thieves.”
Those who suddenly appeared behind the tribe’s coalition forces were the mine thieves.
The number of mine thieves was small, and there were about eight or nine hundred people, but due to themunching an attack from the back, the tribes were caught unprepared. It was difficult for them to swiftly turn around the army to fight the enemy, so they had to retreat to the bottom. In such short and narrow road, the losses were heavy.
Ha Chilie originally thought that these mine thieves had been bribed by Dragon King. However, when they found that the army of the Great Snowmountain did not move, he realized that this matter had nothing to do with Dragon King.
There was little time and choice left for him. The coalition forces had to either fight with the mine thieves in the narrow valley and only then deal with the threat of the Great Snowmountain or surrender to either party out of the two.
The mine thieves were the enemy of the native tribes. For this reason alone, Ha Chilie would rather bow to Dragon King. The battlefield was in chaos, so there was no way to solicit ideas from all, but these tribes were organized by him. It was also up to him to make the final decision.
“Dragon King.” Ha Chilie raised a long-saber and shouted for help towards the hillside. “I volunteer to offer my weapons. Please forget previous ill and lend a helping hand to the tribes in distress!”
The coalition forces were attacked immediately, but it was a godsend for the army of the Great Snowmountain, which was almost equivalent to another Land of Fragrance which failed without fighting.
But Gu Shenwei did not want to send troops to rescue them.
The army of the Great Snowmountain had just entered Wushan, and was unfamiliar with the ce and the people. Therefore, It was necessary to offend another party for one party.
“Let your peoplee up, and I can protect your safety, but you have toy down your weapons.” Gu Shenwei’s sound was not big enough, but it was enough for the people at the bottom of the valley to hear clearly.
The requirements of Dragon King were very demanding, and contained a hint of insult. Ha Chilie was pale and turned to look at the situation on the battlefield. He sighed and ran to the chiefs of tribes and shouted: “Go up the mountain! Go up the mountain!”
Without the persuasion of Ha Chilie, everyone heard the words of Dragon King and had already rushed to the mountains. They were between a rock and a hard ce, so in their views, the party that had not fought against them was a safe haven.
As soon as they entered the defense line of the army of the Great Snowmountain, soldiers immediately confiscated the weapons of tribes’ soldiers.
The mine thieves even chased after them and they also went up the mountain.
The vanguard units of the Great Snowmountain was prepared for a real battle, and hundreds of savage guard troops bent their arrows and set their their arrows against the strings at the back. Long Fanyun, the young chief of Canopy Peak, was asked to sound the horn, and then said loudly: “The Dragon King of the Great Snowmountain is here, stop your paces.”
Seeing aplete victory, the mine thieves did not follow his order to stop.
Hundreds of arrows were shot at the same time, falling behind the mine thieves, which was more effective than a thousand words of warning.
The mine thieves backed up a few paces and kept a distance of an arrow from the army of the Great Snowmountain. However, they still refused to escape. They discussed for a while and then elected a negotiator.
The man was short and strong, holding two sabers in his hands, and shouted towards the mountain: “Who is the Dragon King? Let me take a look.” The tone was arrogant. Although facing the army of 10,000 soldiers, he wasn’t trembling.
Numerous sabers and swords kept falling at the same time, which made the sound of the gale blowing the water. The double-saber mine thief stared at them, waved his weapon, and refused to yield to them.
Gu Shenwei admired the courage of this person, so he went out of the crowd and stood on a prominent stone, “I am the Dragon King, speak out your name.”
The two-saber thief looked at him up and down, “My name is Ge Ying, also called ‘Audacious Twin des.’ Are you really the Dragon King?”
Gu Shenwei was very young and his face looked pale and weak even in the sun, which made people who met him in the first time surprised. So did Ge Ying. Ge Ying looked him over again and obviously didn’t take him seriously, “Dragon King, why are you protecting them. You are fighting them and so are we. It is a help for you, why are you doing this?”
Ge Ying was not courageous, but reckless. Gu Shenwei immediately realized that Ge Ying was only regarded as a gun to use and he was not a real leader, so his face turned dark, “Let your leadere out to speak.”
Ge Ying really deserved the title of “Auadcious Twin des”. He put the two-saber in front of his chest, “You can talk to me, because they all listen to me…”
Gu Shenwei suddenly jumped off from the stone. Afternding, he used his toes to click the ground slightly, and then popped up quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed to the front of Ge Ying, and then jumped three times and returned to the original ce.
Ge Ying had no time to react until the crowd burst intoughter, he touched his head, and then realized that the bun had gone, leaving only the hair roots that was less than an inch long.
Ge Ying’s ‘courage’ was not enough. He opened his mouth wide and couldn’t say any words. His hands began to tremble slightly with two sabers.
One of the mine thieves broke the deadlock and said: “Since the Dragon King have said that, we should give him a face. Let us retreat.”
People were not as rash as Ge Ying. Seeing so many soldiers who had been fully prepared, they wanted to retreat early and then said, “Yes, let’s give the Dragon King a face.””He is the head of a military, so we should retreat.”
They were about to retreat when the horn sounded again on the mountain. The voice of Dragon King rang in their ears, “Others can go, but several people have to stay there.”
Although the name of the mine thieves had a word of “mine”, they actually never mine, but seized the site by sabers and swords and then sold it at a high price. There was little difference between the real bandit and them, because they were all aggressive. If the Dragon King didn’t say anything, they could makepromise, but now felt despised, so they all turned around to brandish their weapons and shout. They hardly blinked an eye at tens of thousands of soldiers.
Gu Shenwei’s original idea was not to offend any force in Wushan as much as possible. At that time, he changed his mind and nodded to Long Fanyun that had been behind him.
The Dragon King was humiliated, which made Long Fanyun very furious, so he had been waiting for this order.
A thousand vanguards, encouraged by the horn, took the initiative to attack the mine thieves.
The mine thieves were also like bandits who pretended to be brave and aggressive. When the Dragon king meant business, they immediately yield to him. Ge Ying who was bald said, “Wait. Dragon King, you should distinguish between enemy and friend. We are not here to challenge the Great Snowmountain today, so we shouldn’t fight with each other. ”
Gu Shenwei didn’t respond immediately. When the vanguards took dozens of steps and was very close to them, the mine thieves suddenly looked afraid. Gu Shenwei ordered to stop, “our enemy is only Golden Roc Fort, and we have no intention to be enemies with other people. You can escape unscathed, but the spy of Golden Roc Fort among you have to stay there.”
The mine thieves looked at each other and did not understand what he meant. Ge Ying said loudly: “Dragon King, you have made a mistake. We are a group of people who make a living from mining and have nothing to do with Golden Roc Fort and Supreme King.”
“You have been deceived. When I just arrived in Wushan, someone told me that the spies had entered…”
He hadn’t finished his words when five people jumped out of the ranks of the mine thieves, and then ran to the hillside that originally was upied by the coalition forces of tribes. The mine thieves were even more surprised. These five people were their acquaintances who had known each other for at least half a year. Unexpectedly, they were indeed the spies of Golden Roc Fort, but they did not understand what the Supreme King coveted a group of mine thieves in the mountains.
Gu Shenwei quickly guessed the truth. Of course, it was not because some people blew the gab, but the mine thieves acted contradictorily. These people were mostly like Ge Ying, audacious but reckless unintentionally. However, they couldn’t n such a meticulous n to sneakily attack the coalition forces, so there must be capable people behind them.
Then he recognized a killer of Golden Roc Fort. It was not the killer’s face that betrayed him, but the assassination skills he almost used.
While Gu Shenwei rushed to Ge Ying to cut off his bun, which was just a momentary matter, most people did not realize it. Behind Ge Ying, a thin man took a step towards Gu Shenwei. However, the Dragon King acted so swiftly that he no choice but to stop his attempt at assasination and return to his original position.
It was merely a simple movement, but it showed the obvious style of Golden Roc Fort: do everything possible tounch an attack on the side and back of an enemy.
Gu Shenwei was not good at attacking others at the back even when he was an apprentice. However, he could see the enemy’s intention at a nce.
All five spies of Golden Roc Fort were swindled by the Dragon King, and then fled as soon as possible.
Gu Shenwei didn’t order soldiers to chase them, but looked at their figures.
The five spies had already ran to the hillside, and would disappear across the peak of the mountain. However, they suddenly fell down one after another like drunken drinkers, or they were downed by the Dragon King’s eyes and lost all strength in an instant.
All bystanders, including the army of the Great Snowmountain and the mine thieves, were stunned by this strange sight.
Thest spy fell down. Finally, there appeared a pretty figure, and then the figure disappeared with a khaki mantle shing. No one could find her.
Because Maid Lotus had already ambushed before. Although the training she received in Golden Roc Fort was the same as the five people, her Kung Fu was much better than that of them, so she could easily beat them who didn’t choose the right way due to panic.
She knew that the Dragon King wanted the spies alive, so they just lost their strength and fell unconscious.
Before the soldiers of the Great Snowmountain began to act, dozens of mine thieves dashed up to catch those spies and then sent them to the front.
Ge Ying kicked them in the body, “son-of-a-bi**h, you have cheated me for so long time…”
After they were caught, the spies were silent and even refused to look up at the Dragon King.
“I just want to know one thing. The Supreme King was so enthusiastic and helped me to deal with the tribes of Wushan. What is his reason for this?”
A killer could run away or fail, but wouldn’t easily confess.
Gu Shenwei waited for a while. After Long Fanyun got an indication, he pulled out the patronus’s saber and killed the first person. Pausing for a moment, he killed the second person.
No one spoke, and only soundless killing had been going on.
After four people were killed continuously, thest spy decided to speak. He was deliberately left by Gu Shenwei. Among the five spies, only this person looked a little flustered. Expectedly, he immediately told the truth, “Dragon King, please let me go. I am the machetemen hired by Golden Roc Fort, and not the killer of Shangguan family.”
Gu Shenwei nodded and asked him to continue his words. His initial question hadn’t yet been answered: Why did the killers of Golden Roc Fort help the Dragon King to attack the coalition forces of tribes?
“Two… two reasons.” the machetemen said nervously, “I hoped to take the opportunity to join your army, and then seize the chance…to assassinate you, or leave the Dragon King in the mountains as long as possible and have more time to seal the way out of the mountains. ”
