"It really is a minotaur!"

Zhang Lin had truly broadened his horizons; after the New Era, anything could turn into a person...

Unlike the ratmen, the minotaurs look incredibly impactful.

Standing three or four meters tall, with bulging muscles all over his body and bronze skin, he seemed to blend into the massive rock, reflecting light like metal under the sun.

A massive bull's head sits atop its enormous body, its pair of ferocious horns radiating a chilling aura.

Zhang Lin had no doubt that if he stood in the way of the minotaurs' charge, even when he had a physique of over 100, he would have been pierced through by their horns.

"Find a way to contact the people inside and attack from both sides. These minotaurs won't be a problem!" After observing for a while, Zhang Lin said decisively.

The minotaurs looked very powerful, but there were only a few dozen of them.

The people of the Tang Dynasty must have been trapped by the Minotaur while they were resting. Because the terrain was not advantageous, a rash breakout would result in too great a loss, so Li Tianfang chose to contact the city lord.

It's estimated that Li Tianfang and Zhang Lin had similar ideas, also thinking of attacking from both inside and outside, so as to kill these dozens of minotaurs with minimal losses.

How can I contact you?

Peng Yong asked from the side.

"How should I know?" Zhang Lin glared at him and said, "I'm leaving this to you. Contact Li Tianfang before noon to confirm the timing of the pincer attack."

In just over a day, Zhang Lin, who was not a good person to begin with, also realized that Peng Yong had ill intentions. At this point, he naturally wanted to put Peng Yong in a tough spot.

He could have teleported there instantly, but he didn't.

Peng Yong's face darkened, and he hurriedly said, "The only passage is guarded by the minotaurs, we can't get through, Captain Zhang, this matter..."

"You can't even handle this little thing, what are you doing here?" Zhang Lin mocked without any politeness, "Wasting food?"

Peng Yong was speechless, his face turning red with frustration. After a long while, he finally said in a stiff tone, "Fine, I'll go and contact Li Tianfang."

He thought to himself, "If there's no good opportunity to sabotage the mission, then I'll make the most of it. The city lord will know who contributes the most, and maybe he'll even promote me..."

Therefore, Peng Yong immediately gathered his men to discuss how to break through and agreed with Li Tianfang to launch a pincer attack from both inside and outside to eliminate the group of minotaurs.

After much discussion, Peng Yong finally decided that it would be better to avoid a direct confrontation with the Minotaur for the time being and instead sneak up on Li Tianfang's camp from above the valley.

He began to survey the terrain.

After looking around, Peng Yong finally chose a location that was relatively easy to infiltrate.

The valley is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, almost vertical, making climbing nearly impossible, which is why the people of the Tang Dynasty were trapped.

But it's much easier to go in from top to bottom.

So, Peng Yong had someone find a long rope, and then had one of his men buff him with "Feather Fall Technique" and "Light Body Technique" before he himself went down the mountainside.

He could have easily found a subordinate to do this, but after thinking it over, he decided to do it himself.

He risked his life to personally contact Li Tianfang, and in the end, they attacked from both sides and wiped out the Minotaur. When he returned and told everyone, it was immediately clear who had made the greatest contribution.

and……

Now that Li Tianfang is trapped, my going there would be a timely help, and I might even earn Li Tianfang's gratitude.

Therefore, Peng Yong felt it was better to go himself.

He should seize the credit he deserves. Even if he can't sabotage Zhang Lin's mission, he can still gain the city lord's favor with his outstanding performance when he returns.

"I wonder if Li Tianfang still acts like an emperor..."

Zhang Lin watched Peng Yong's figure disappear, feeling very curious.

Logically speaking, Li Tianfang is currently trapped, and he came to seek refuge with the city lord, so he shouldn't act like an emperor and offend the people of Hope City.

but!

Can someone who can become emperor in the 21st century be a normal person?

This is also why Zhang Lin was unwilling to go there.

If Li Tianfang still acts like an emperor after this, then he will inevitably have a conflict with Li Tianfang.

After all, he certainly wasn't willing to submit to Li Tianfang, even if it was just an act.

With so many people watching him take on the mission, he didn't want to go back carrying Li Tianfang's head. Failing his first mission would be incredibly humiliating.

That's why Zhang Lin gave the job to Peng Yong.

He thought this was an opportunity for him to show off, but in reality, Zhang Lin was just using him to test the waters.

Peng Yong couldn't think of that.

But he had the same idea as Zhang Lin.

You, Li Tianfang, are trapped here. I'm here to rescue you. Are you still going to act like an emperor?

But Peng Yong was still naive.

When they arrived at the gate to meet the enemy, and were led before Li Tianfang by several armored men, Li Tianfang still gave him a severe lesson.

"Who are you and who are you? Why don't you kneel before me?"

Li Tianfang, in his forties, sat on a chair inside the tent, wearing a bright yellow robe and a crown, and reprimanded with great authority.

Peng Yong was stunned.

You're not a normal person, are you?

They're all trapped here to die, and they're still acting like emperors? What the hell?! Are they out of their minds?!

For a moment, Peng Yong cursed inwardly, his vocabulary as rich as that of Chen Zibo's little brother, Xiao Wang.

But on the surface, Peng Yong dared not reveal his true feelings.
