Chapter 645: Clear Insight

The Lord of Xiliang City, Zhuma, belongs to the Grassland Horse Tribe, so Xiliang City has no shortage of war horses.

With the support of the Alliance, he organized an iron-clad cavalry, called the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, with a total of 2,000 cavalry.

The 2,000 heavily-armored cavalry gave him the capital to devour the human tribe and embark on the path of becoming the King of Man, and it was also one of the sources of his ambition.

At this time, the 2,000 Iron Cavalry had been reorganized at the West City Gate, and the long team stretched from the city gate to the main street in the city.

Zhuma was burly and handsome, and his iron armor was painted with bright brown paint, which looked extraordinary and mighty.

He came out of the City Lord's Mansion, whipped his horse slowly, letting it move forward at a steady pace, his own body moving in rhythm with the horse, as if he had become one with the horse.

This was his sixth horse. Of the previous five, three died in training and two died on the battlefield.

He was a horse chaser and a well-deserved general who had fought in many battles. He had fought in White Lion City and Barbarian Bull City.

Since he came to power, he had conquered countless small tribes.

Therefore, when he put on his armor and stepped out of the City Lord's Mansion, the tribesmen cheered for him and the warriors looked at him respectfully.

"Clang."

Every time he walked a distance, he would knock on the broken leaf armor on his chest with his right hand wearing an iron glove to salute his Xiliang Iron Horse.

"Clang."

All the knights who could see would respond in unison, responding to their leader.

He walked all the way from the tail of the team to the front, he pulled his warhorse, turned around and looked at the cavalry officers gathered here.

There were two thousand captains, four five hundred captains, eight twenty-five captains, twenty centurions, and the newly promoted horse slave was also here. He was the thousand captain who led the team personally.

"Clang."

The cavalry officer saluted Zhuma respectfully. This was a etiquette that originated from the earliest teams of the alliance, and it was performed with loud and powerful voices.

"Clang."

Zhuma returned the salute, looked around again, and then spoke slowly.

"The enemy is something we have never seen before. Even if they are unarmored, they can defeat ten of us with one."

What he stated was a fact, information that all warriors and officers knew.

Although there were only 5,000 enemies, their combat power was very strong, as can be seen from the performance of those hateful thieves and robbers.

"They are going to attack the city. If Xiliang City falls, what will happen to our tribe?"

Zhuma scanned these officers with a serious look: "Slaves, they will become slaves, their wives, children, and the elderly will all become slaves and be sold in batches."

The emotions of the Iron Cavalry officers were mobilized. They all had status in the tribe, with many wives and concubines and countless maids.

These were all rewards given to them by Zhuma. They would not allow others to take them away, let alone take them away by force.

Because all of this was taken by them by force.

Looking at their red eyes, Zhuma nodded with satisfaction. He did not say anything else. At this time, the morale was high. Saying more would weaken the momentum. He

beat his chest twice with his right hand and shouted: "Western Liang Iron Cavalry, there is no retreat until the battle is over."

The officers immediately followed suit and beat their chests twice, shouting: "Western Liang Iron Cavalry, there is no retreat until the battle is over."

The cavalrymen behind him also began to shout along. The voice of "Western Liang Iron Cavalry, there is no retreat until the battle is over" spread throughout the city, and many tribesmen and children also shouted along.

"Return to the team. This battle is tough. Let's encourage each other."

Zhu Ma waved his hand and asked them to return to their own team.

"Yes."

The officers beat their chests in unison and then retreated.

"Ma Nu, come here."

Zhu Ma waved his hand and stopped Ma Nu who wanted to turn around.

Ma Nu was puzzled, but there was no abnormality on his face. He just walked forward ignorantly.

Zhu Ma didn't say anything to him in front of the team. He just rode his horse into the doorway and asked the warriors in the doorway to leave before he spoke slowly.

"The enemy is strong and this battle is tough."

Zhu Ma said in a deep voice.

He had seen those thieves and robbers who were captured, and even fought with them. Fighting

alone, he was no match for them.

These people can use a magical power that can make their bodies emit a gray light.

This power is different from the power of totems. It is more condensed than totems and can make these people stronger in combat.

They call it fighting spirit, and the fighting spirit of the self-proclaimed thieves is not good at fighting. The armored soldiers outside are the ones who are really good at fighting.

"I swear to kill the enemy to the death."

Ma Nu bowed and immediately expressed his position.

He just saw Zhu Ma driving away the others, and he always felt that he wanted to say more than that.

"In this battle, if I die, you don't have to fight to the death. Return to the city quickly, reorganize the army and wait for the arrival of the alliance army to help Xiliang resist foreign enemies."

Zhu Ma's voice was dull, and it echoed rumblingly in the city gate.

But at this time, Manu didn't care about these echoes. He only felt his head getting hot and his face almost lost its composure. Manu

looked at Zhuma. Through his eyes, he was sure that Zhuma didn't deceive him, but he still couldn't guess how Zhuma found him.

Was he the only one who was found, or everyone?

It's impossible to find everyone. The spies were all connected by a single line. Even if one was caught, it would be impossible to uproot them.

Thinking of this, Manu felt relieved.

"Duke, Manu will swear to protect..."

Before Manu could reveal his true feelings, Zhuma waved his hand and interrupted, "You don't understand."

Ma Nu showed confusion on his face.

"You are a member of the Alliance, it's easy to see, there are more than one Alliance member in Xiliang City, you are very special, it's not difficult to recognize you."

This made Ma Nu silent, he still didn't understand how he and others were exposed.

"Slave nature."

Zhu Ma didn't hide his meaning: "You don't have slave nature, your self-confidence can't be hidden by lowering your head and kneeling, my eyes are not blind."

Ma Nu was silent for a while, then understood what Zhu Ma meant.

The Alliance members have been taught since childhood that destiny is in their hands, and the Alliance has been promoting the concept of equality for all.

Although there is still slave nature, it is different from the slave nature cultivated by the complete slave system in Xiliang City.

This is indeed easy to see in the eyes of those who are interested.

"How long have you known about this?"

Ma Nu no longer bowed and knelt, and spoke frankly.

"I knew it the first time I saw ambition in your eyes."

Zhu Ma said with a smile: "The ambition of the Xiliang people is full of violence, and that is an ambition that can tear itself apart, while the ambition of you allies is rational, and that is an ambition to control everything. It is different."

Ma Nu thought about it and nodded in agreement.

The Alliance also advocates passion, but first of all, we must be rational, face everything rationally, get rid of bestiality, let our brains control our bodies, instead of doing things with passion.

Passion, the Alliance members prefer to use it in their ideas.

For example, the witches and leaders of all generations were full of passion for the tribe, but not for ambition.

The Alliance does not oppose ambitious people, but it extremely despises purely ambitious people, and believes that this kind of selfish ambition is destructive to the Alliance.

"Why don't you drive us away?"

the horse slave asked in confusion.

"Why should I drive you away?"

Zhuma asked back, which made the horse slave speechless for a moment.

"You didn't harm Xiliang City, and even contributed your strength to Xiliang City."

Zhuma touched the head of the warhorse he sat on. It moved a little uneasily, probably because it felt the murderous aura outside the city gate.

The enemy built a siege machine under the city gate, and it would launch an attack soon.

"Wells, buildings, and many infrastructures are all thanks to you. Even the system of Xiliang is different from that of the other three cities. This is all thanks to you."

Zhuma smiled and looked at the slave, saying, "When I was studying in the alliance, I longed for your system. The witch can handle government affairs with peace of mind, and the leader, as a general, can use all his talents in war."

The war horse became more obedient under Zhuma's comfort, but the horse's hooves were still stomping on the ground, making a rhythmic clacking sound.

"My talent is on the battlefield, and my political talent is very weak. My teacher once said this."

Zhuma said with a smile.

"Is it Teacher Bo?"

the slave asked.

Zhu Ma nodded, he smiled happily, and said: "Teacher is Shao Wu's direct disciple, I am actually Shao Wu's second-generation disciple, it's a pity that I was not born in the alliance, otherwise I must win the position of marshal."

Manu laughed after hearing this, and said: "Then you can't outlast Marshal Li."

Zhu Ma was stunned, and then laughed loudly again.

He laughed very generously, which best showed his personal charm.

"Indeed, I can't outlast him."

Zhu Ma said.

Marshal Li is famous for his longevity in the alliance. Now he is the oldest person in the alliance, and he doesn't look old. It seems that he can outlast the human kings of the same generation.

"The alliance said that in terms of judging people, the duke is the first in the human tribe."

Manu praised, this is sincere.

"Knowing people is also the key to administration. I know there is a saying in the alliance, which is that governing a country starts with governing officials."

Zhu Ma nodded without being humble, "So the people arranged by your alliance are all important in Xiliang City."

Manu nodded with a smile, and then said seriously: "The enemy is so strong, why do we still want to attack?"

"Which is the strongest team in Xiliang City?"

Zhu Ma asked.

Manu was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "Is the Duke afraid that he won't have the opportunity to use it in the end?"

Zhu Ma nodded and said: "It is better to let these people fight first than to let them go up the city wall. At the very least, it can scare the enemy and buy time to wait for the arrival of the alliance army."

"But if the Duke dies on the battlefield, it will be a loss for Xiliang City."

Manu said.

"My death can inspire the troops and be useful for delaying time."

Zhu Ma said.

"Does the Duke take the enemy so seriously?"

Manu frowned and asked.

After all, he felt that there were only 5,000 enemies, so he didn't take them seriously to such an extent. He wanted to fight to the strongest and inspire the troops with his death.

"It's not me who takes it seriously."

Zhu Ma sighed, and seeing Manu looking at him in confusion, he said, "It's the Alliance that takes it seriously."

Manu listened and nodded heavily.

It's the Alliance that takes it seriously. Among the four cities outside the human tribe, only Xiliang City has been constantly sent spies, and the other three cities have not received this treatment.

Not only that, wasn't the Xiliang Iron Cavalry also built with the help of the Alliance, and wasn't it for this time?

"In that case, I will obey the Duke's orders."

The manu bowed and said seriously.

Zhu Ma nodded, waved his hand to let him return to the team, and calmed himself down and returned to the team.

A bloody battle was about to begin.
