Chapter 855: Preparing a meeting gift |
Saint Light Hall was a religion, so everyone firmly believed in the cause.
Belief was worthy of respect and was the cornerstone of many societies.
But after going through the apocalypse, Ye Zhognming knew some information. He knew that those gods were just murderers in different realms!
He scoffed at such gods.
But he wouldn’t underestimate people and armies with such faith.
That was because they would be much better fighters than ordinary people.
“Saint Hall Cavalier Squad. Looking at the mark, it should be their Bright Cleansing Division, around 500 of them.”
Hong Xiang looked at the clear video. He said those things, but his heart was in shock.
For a race that relied on torches to light their nights to see a technological product. He might be a level eight king, but he would also be shocked if he were a level nine expert.
Saint Light Hall understood the Posthumous people, and the Posthumous people understood Saint Light Hall. They might not understand them as much, but they had some information about most things.
For example, their army system.
Three days had passed since Cloud Peak Alliance had set off. At the start, Hong Xiang was searching for opportunities to flee, but when he crossed the mountain and saw a Saint Light Hall army traveling, he calmed down.
He knew that it wasn’t the time.
Even if he had never treated the other tribes as humans, when he saw the army sweeping the camp and leaving corpses, sadness rose in his heart.
He knew that Ye Zhongming was right. Saint Light Hall was here to wipe them out. During the previous few wars, they didn’t wipe out small tribes with a few hundred people.
So, he became very well-behaved and told Ye Zhongming everything he knew. His heart was leaning fully toward working with Ye Zhongming.
Saint Light Hall had found their way here, and there was no room for negotiation. If they worked together, they could have one more ally. If they didn’t, would Ye Zhongming join the other side?
Hong Xiang wasn’t much of a person, but he knew how to make a choice.
But, when Ye Zhongming suggested following the army and wiping them out, Hong Xiang was terrified.
Normally, Posthumous people would only dare to attack when they had five times more people than the Saint Light Hall. Although this army had only 500 people, they would only attack when they had 2500. He had enough people if they included Ye Zhongming’s group. If they only counted the Imperial City army, there were only 2000. He... didn’t have the courage to charge. What if Ye Zhongming used him as cannon fodder?
Ye Zhongming ignored his thoughts. He only wanted to destroy this army.
He had a habit of only considering victory. He first considered how to get back when he entered the Secret Realm. There were only three paths, and two of them had been proven.
One was the Gate of Blessing, and the other was the Saint Pool.
If the Siant LIght Hall hadn’t invaded, with Ye Zhongming’s relationship with the Imperial City, they wouldn’t let him leave through the pool. So, he would have to use some methods.
That would be difficult, and he would have to pay a high price.
As for the Gate of Blessing, that wasn’t a part of his consideration. A level nine person was guarding it, so would he just go there to die?
But the heavens were helping him. The Saint Light Hall decided to attack them at the end of winter!
This gave him a chance to leave through the Saint Pool!
He was going to work with them to fight Saint Light Hall.
He dared not lead his own people to face the level eight Yangos and level nine Saint Father. But if he had the entire Posthumous race, he dared.
But he knew how tough it was to negotiate with them. After all, he wasn’t as strong as them. The kings in the Imperial City were all level seven, and there were at least three level eight kings. The protector was someone he had met, and he was the strongest person apart from the level nine Saint Father.
Why should they work with you? Because you held Hong Xiang hostage? This was just the brick to negotiate. He planned to give them a big gift to make them accept him in his next series of actions.
What was better than killing a small army?
So, with the help of some people, he repaired the Exquisite Floating Ball. He used its speed to scout the area and found this army.
Ye Zhongming was impressed with them. After having this scouting weapon, he saw that the Saint Light Hall army was very coordinated. Their various squads worked perfectly with each other. Ye Zhongming followed them for a day before getting this opportunity. As this 500-man squad attacked the tribe, they were further from their allies, which gave him a chance to strike.
“King Hong Xiang, watch how we fight.”
Ye Zhongming smiled and controlled the Exquisite Floating Ball to charge at the cavalier squad. At the same time, the Cloud Peak forces on the ground received the order. Thousands of them sped up and dashed.
Saint Hall Cavalier Squad was a cavalier squad. According to Hong Xiang, there were 50,000 of them split into five divisions, and Bright Cleanse was one of them.
Although they weren’t the strongest squad, they were in the top three. Moreover, each cavalier was nurtured since birth and learned one of their ten secret skills—Light Strike. It was a powerful battle technique that dealt blows to the Posthumous people.
But Hong Xiang didn’t expect this guy to charge even though he had already said such information in detail.
Usually, things wouldn’t be like that.
At this time, the cavalier squad that was moving slowly noticed the metal ball in the sky.
