After seeing Liu Guanfeng on his carriage, Guo Xiaotian slightly nodded, secretly admiring: What a fine young general in white armor. This youth's aura and mindset are far superior to what I had at his age. I truly wonder whose young general this is; it would be wonderful if I could recruit him under my banner.
At that moment, Willy, who was sitting on Little Black, lost his composure. After all, he had only fought Liu Guanfeng once that fateful night when he was ambushed and injured, so he would not forget this person.
Willy pointed at Liu Guanfeng and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty. This young man is the one who led the ambush against my Southern Tiger Emperor's camp that day. He even managed to injure me; it's him."
Guo Xiaotian cast a disdainful glance at Willy and then said to Guo Huai beside him, "Guo Huai, go ask the young man on the black mount over there who he is."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Guo Huai rode a common warhorse to the front lines of both armies.
Knowing that Guo Xiaotian favored Liu Guanfeng, Guo Huai did not dare to be overly arrogant: "To the young general in the middle over there, my lord wishes to know who you are. Would you be willing to surrender to our Guardian Nation? My lord will surely value you highly."
At that moment, a soldier who had seen Guo Huai approached Liu Guanfeng and whispered a few words. Liu Guanfeng smiled lightly while sitting on Little Black: "You must be Lord Guo. Previously, you were ordered to go to the Eastern Dragon Empire to hand me over to His Majesty. Now that I am offering myself up, you don’t recognize me?"
Guo Huai was taken aback: "You are Liu Guanfeng?"
Liu Guanfeng nodded with a smile: "Lord Guo, what do you think? Does Guo Xiaotian still want to recruit me?"
However, Guo Huai quickly responded: "Liu Guanfeng, our lord is not a petty person. As long as you hand over what His Majesty needs, everything can be resolved peacefully. The lord merely wants to teach the arrogant Shangguan Ji a lesson; he can certainly pardon other commoners. What do you say?"
"I grew up in Starfall Kingdom; my ancestors were all from the Eastern Dragon Empire. You dare say in front of me that you want to teach our lord a lesson? That’s truly laughable. How can the territory of the Eastern Dragon Empire be trampled upon by others? As long as there is an Eastern Dragon man alive, I will never allow enemy iron hooves to step onto our land." With that, Liu Guanfeng forcefully drove his Fang Tian Hua Ji into the ground.
Liu Guanfeng's imposing presence was something someone like Guo Huai could not withstand, causing him to retreat several steps in fear.
Finally, Guo Huai pointed at Liu Guanfeng and said angrily, "You... just wait. Soon you'll know our strength."
Liu Guanfeng swiftly drew his bow and aimed it at Guo Huai: "If you don't leave now, I'll show you my strength right here."
Upon hearing this, Guo Huai dared not linger any longer and hurriedly scrambled back to his own camp.
Liu Guanfeng and Guo Huai's words were clearly heard by Guo Xiaotian. He knew that the game he desired the most, The Game of the Supreme God, had been taken away by this kid, and it seemed he possessed more than one. This made Guo Xiaotian even more eager to capture Liu Guanfeng and reclaim the game's components.
"Who among you will go out to test the strength of the opponent?"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go," said an Advanced Knight from the Southern Tiger Empire, who was around forty years old and had just advanced to the rank. Guo Xiaotian nodded slightly, and the Advanced Knight patted his Mount and swung his Great Axe as he charged forward.
"Liu Guanfeng, if you have the ability, come out and fight me for three hundred rounds; if not, surrender immediately. Otherwise, when we break in, we will leave no one alive."
At this moment, Hank Niu could no longer sit still. To him, Liu Guanfeng was like a second father; he was the only person who had truly cared for him since childhood. Now that someone had called him out, how could Hank Niu remain calm? Without even greeting anyone, he urged his Mount, the Trihorn Earth Dragon, and charged forward.
Standing before the opponent, he thundered, "If you dare to speak of my master, you are seeking death." As soon as he uttered the word "death," Hank Niu's massive Wolf Tooth Club came crashing down.
Seeing such a gigantic Wolf Tooth Club, the opponent dared not take it head-on and quickly turned his Mount to evade the blow. However, even though he dodged it, the wind from the club still caused him great pain.
As Hank Niu charged forward, his Mount, the Trihorn Earth Dragon, was not idle either. It swung its enormous tail and struck at the nearby Advanced Knight. The knight was completely unprepared for this attack from the Mount and was sent flying over two meters after being hit by the Trihorn Earth Dragon.
When he stabilized himself, Hank Niu launched a second attack. This time, his target was not the Advanced Knight above but rather his Mount. The Advanced Knight rode a Seventh-Stage Soaring Leopard known for its speed and jumping ability.
When this soaring leopard saw the Wolf Tooth Club coming towards it, it leaped into the air with all its might. Its jump reached a height surpassing that of Hank Niu sitting on the Earth Dragon. Just as the Advanced Knight thought he could evade danger with this leap, the Trihorn Earth Dragon also jumped up. Although its height barely reached one meter, that one meter was still deadly.
After Hank Niu's initial sweep missed its target, the Trihorn Earth Dragon leaped up. Hank Niu immediately raised his Wolf Tooth Club high in the air and brought it down on the Advanced Knight like swatting a fly. With Hank Niu's brute strength combined with the momentum of the Trihorn Earth Dragon, this blow sent both man and beast flying over twenty meters away.
After landing, the Advanced Knight did not move at all; it was clear that he had been killed by Hank Niu's strike. Soldiers from the Southern Tiger Empire quickly moved in to carry both him and his Mount back.
Just as they were taken away, five individuals charged out from the Southern Tiger Empire's camp. All five were Intermediate Knights serving as Minor Generals, led by none other than the recently slain knight. They brandished their weapons and rushed towards Hank Niu.
Hank Niu was in high spirits from his recent kill; upon seeing these five emerge, he turned his Trihorn Earth Dragon towards them and charged forward. As soon as they clashed, Hank Niu swung his massive Wolf Tooth Club horizontally at them while five other Mounts continued to gallop forward. The knights on those mounts were all swept away by Hank Niu's strike.
Five bodies lay quietly on the ground; after their riders were killed, their Mounts ran off but soon returned when they realized their masters were gone. Hank Niu was willing to do them a favor and swung his club again to send all five Mounts back to their fallen riders' sides.
The battlefield fell silent under the simple yet effective strikes of Hank Niu, who had slain an Advanced Knight commander and five Intermediate Knight Minor Generals. The last five kills were particularly clean and efficient.
Seeing that the time was right, Liu Guanfeng raised his Fang Tian Hua Ji and shouted, "Brothers, charge with me!"
With that, he led fifty thousand soldiers forward. At this moment, Guo Xiaotian's expression was extremely grim; he had not expected to be so thoroughly defeated by a single brute.
However, given the enemy's overwhelming momentum, Guo Xiaotian decisively ordered a retreat. Meanwhile, Hank Niu rode his Trihorn Earth Dragon and was the first to charge into the Three Kingdoms Alliance's ranks. The soldiers had already been terrified by Hank Niu's performance, and now no one dared to confront him directly. They all scrambled to escape, wishing they had been born with two more legs.
After a fierce battle, Liu Guanfeng reined in Little Black and said, "Let's clean up the battlefield and head back."
Liu Guanfeng led his army back to Dragon Glory City. When Shangguan Junpeng saw Hank Niu again, his eyes were filled with excitement. Although he usually thought highly of this giant, as an Advanced Knight, he had not taken Intermediate Knights seriously. However, after witnessing Hank Niu crush an Advanced Knight and sweep away five Intermediate Knights today, his perception of Hank Niu changed dramatically.
If he were to face those opponents himself, he believed he could win; however, achieving such effortless kills as Hank Niu did was beyond him. Thus, Shangguan Junpeng's attitude towards Hank Niu underwent a complete turnaround. He approached Hank Niu and looked around for a while before finally managing to grasp one of Hank Niu's large hands with both of his.
Hank Niu had no idea what Shangguan Junpeng wanted to do. He glanced at Liu Guanfeng, who smiled and said to Hank Niu, "Hank Niu, don't worry; the Sixth Prince just wants to see the fierce warrior from earlier. He means no harm."
Hank Niu nodded blankly and said, "Oh," allowing Shangguan Junpeng to hold his hand endlessly. After a long while of looking at him, Shangguan Junpeng finally let out a breath and exclaimed loudly, "What a fierce warrior! Truly a blessing for our Eastern Dragon!"
Hank Niu also stared at Shangguan Junpeng for quite some time. Once Shangguan Junpeng finished speaking, Hank Niu shouted back loudly, "I'm really starving!"
Everyone burst into laughter except for Hank Niu; he didn't understand why they laughed at his honest statement when he was genuinely hungry.
Shangguan Junpeng immediately ordered that they treat Hank Niu well today. They specially roasted several sheep for him and prepared a variety of fruits and foods.
Hank Niu took great pride in the roasted lambs, devouring two whole sheep by himself. Everyone was so captivated by his appetite that they forgot to eat themselves. His capacity for food was truly extraordinary; fortunately for him, his master was Liu Guanfeng, who had plenty of resources.
In Dragon Glory City, there was joy celebrating their great victory while dark clouds loomed over the Three Kingdoms Alliance. Willy from the Southern Tiger Empire became the scapegoat once again; after all, the last five Intermediate Knights had disobeyed orders and were swept away by the enemy's strikes, completely burying the already low morale of the Alliance.
This time Willy was punished with fifty military lashes and then carried back to the Southern Tiger Empire's camp. With the Grand Marshal severely injured and needing rest and the Vice Marshal killed in an ambush, Willy could only send a trusted officer to command the troops in his stead and report to Guo Xiaotian for further orders.
After venting his anger for a while, Guo Xiaotian looked at Du Jin and asked, "Du Jin, Grand Marshal, do you have any other solutions?"
"Your Majesty, the defeat today has its reasons, similar to your punishment. If it weren't for those five Minor Generals from the Southern Tiger Empire rushing out, we wouldn't have been suppressed like this. So if we want to win, tomorrow when we go into battle, we won't engage them in single combat; we'll charge directly. I believe that with the number of our soldiers, we can definitely crush their troops outside the city. At that point, we can take advantage of the situation and storm into Dragon Glory City."
Guo Xiaotian finally smiled, "Not bad, Du Jin, Grand Marshal. You truly deserve the reputation of a wise general. I did not misjudge you this time."
"Your Majesty, you flatter me."
"Tomorrow, all Advanced Knight generals and Intermediate Knight Minor Generals from the three empires must go into battle. We will take Dragon Glory City in one fell swoop."
"Yes, I will obey your command."
"You all may return now. Du Jin, stay behind. I have something to discuss with you."
"Understood."
Once all the military generals had left the Tent, Guo Xiaotian looked at Du Jin and asked, "Du Jin, what is your opinion on this battle?"
After thinking for a moment, Du Jin replied to Guo Xiaotian, "Does Your Majesty want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"What do you mean by truth? And what do you mean by a lie?"
"If Your Majesty wants to hear a lie, then it would be that as long as you arrive, our Alliance's morale will soar, and flattening the entire Eastern Dragon Empire is just a matter of time. With Your Majesty leading us, we will be invincible in battle."
