"How arrogant!"
"He claims to have a million soldiers, and anyone who enters Yanluo Mountain will die. Humph! Such arrogance! If he truly had that strength, would he need to say such things?"
"Just bring a million troops and attack!"
"Playing tricks and bluffing! Is that all Qin Ze is capable of?"
Wu Kui's face flushed red, and he shouted angrily.
Dan Yi remained silent.
Wu Shuang immediately echoed:
“Your Majesty is right! If Qin Ze really has a million soldiers, he can march south openly and honestly. Why hide here in Yanluo Mountain and keep a low profile?”
"Hmph, that's easy for them to say. They claim they want us to retreat because they don't want to fight us. I think they know they're outmatched, so they're just bluffing to scare us away!"
"This boy is indeed just like his father, deeply scheming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Miao frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Qin Ze just openly said that he has a million soldiers in Yanluo Mountain. That is indeed suspicious."
"However, the fact that he dared to say such a thing means that he still has some troops at his disposal."
Wu Kui, his face flushed with anger, waved his hand and said angrily:
"Qin Ze did not engage in battle with them today when we entered Yanluo Mountain, just to bluff and create the illusion that there were a million soldiers lying in ambush in Yanluo Mountain."
"His plan might have some use against others, but to us, it's utterly ridiculous!"
"You think you can scare us away with just a few words? Do you really think our barbarian tribe is invincible?"
"Times have changed! My barbarian tribe is stronger than before, while his Crimson Flame Army has long since passed its glorious days!"
"Tomorrow, the entire army will be mobilized and storm Yanluo Mountain!"
"As long as he's still in Yanluo Mountain, we'll dig three feet into the ground to find him and kill him completely, leaving not a single one alive!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Shan Yi's voice rang out.
The voice was loud and clear, and it was truly awe-inspiring!
"Your Majesty! Please do not be angry!"
"When anger gets to you, you lose your rationality and make wrong judgments!"
"The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, so we must remain calm! We must not let anger cloud our judgment!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Kui's eyes widened suddenly, his tiger-like eyes becoming like copper bells, and his chest heaved violently.
But soon, he took a deep breath, gradually regained his composure, and said coldly:
"Qin Ze is too arrogant; he's seriously underestimating us!"
"If you don't dare to fight, you just don't dare to fight. Saying things like 'I hope you cherish peace' is too high-sounding and utterly disgusting!"
The generals below the stage had different expressions, and Wu Shuang and his nephew Wu Rui nodded in agreement, both showing resentment.
Hong Lun, on the other hand, was deep in thought, resting his chin on his hand.
Bai Miao frowned, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
The other three Tiger Fangs crossed their arms and simply watched Wu Kui, waiting for his order to be given before carrying it out.
Dan Yi remained calm and then spoke up, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is false for Qin Ze to have a million soldiers, but it is not an exaggeration to say that he is just bluffing."
"The generals I saw before him were no ordinary men. With so many generals, how could there be no large army?"
"However, I think his forces are probably not that many. He must have realized that our forces are stronger than his, so he made these threats in an attempt to make us retreat so that he could go and fight a large army."
Just then, Bai Miao suddenly spoke up:
"By the way, General Shan, you've just returned to camp and may not know that the imperial army has arrived today."
"There were quite a few of them, about one or two hundred thousand."
Upon hearing this, Shan Yi was taken aback, then his eyes flashed, and he smiled:
"Imperial troops, that's wonderful!"
Then he turned to Wu Kui and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, all's fair in war!"
"Given Qin Ze's behavior today, no matter what tricks he's up to in Yanluo Mountain, we'll have to go in eventually."
"If Qin Ze is not eliminated, we cannot take over Beiliang. If we cannot take Beiliang, how will we conquer Daqian in the future!"
"Since the Emperor of Da Gan has also sent troops, let them go with us to Yanluo Mountain!"
"No matter how eloquent Qin Ze is, he can't withstand our solid military strength!"
Wu Kui's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and he nodded slightly.
Wu Shuang chuckled and said, "General Shan is right. Letting the imperial troops go with us will relieve some of our burden."
"We've only been at Yanluo Mountain for a few days, and the imperial army has followed closely behind. I'm afraid Qin Ze didn't expect there to be so many troops."
"Looking back now, he took advantage of the danger of Yanlu Mountain to hide here, thinking that he could persuade us to retreat with a few empty words."
"Little do they know that he's like a turtle in a jar at Yanluo Mountain, just waiting for us to go in and catch him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Rui raised the iron hammer and laughed loudly:
"Haha! Good, Uncle is right!"
"Like a turtle in a jar! What a brilliant use of the phrase!"
"He's hiding in Yanluo Mountain, like a turtle in its shell. Watch me smash him to pieces with one hammer! Smash him to pieces!"
At this point, Wu Rui brandished his iron hammer, his face contorted with a fierce expression.
Wu Kui nodded slightly and looked at the generals, saying, "Well? Are there any objections to advancing into Yanluo Mountain together with the imperial troops?"
Everyone shook their heads.
At this moment, Bai Miao spoke up, "Will the imperial army agree to enter Yanluo Mountain with us?"
"The Emperor of Da Gan ordered us to suppress Qin Ze. On the surface, isn't that just using someone else to do his dirty work? Even if they send troops, I doubt they'll go willingly."
Dan Yi nodded, "That's right! But things are different now!"
"Anyang County has been seized by Qin Ze. This is a vital town, and they are much more anxious than we are!"
