"really?"
Czech stared wide-eyed, clearly taken aback by the news.
Sydov looked shocked and was equally surprised.
"I have heard about the mystery of Eastern martial arts, and I have also witnessed Eastern martial arts practitioners who can leap across rooftops and walk on walls."
The count's expression gradually became serious. "As for their other methods, I have not seen them."
"Now, judging from Lord Jax's words, it's true that Eastern martial artists possess mysterious powers?"
"The people of the ancient Eastern country have always been incredibly intelligent, and their ancestors left behind many amazing things."
Kjes's tone was somewhat low, and his eyes slowly became unfocused, as if he were recalling something.
Without realizing it, he began to mutter to himself, "It's like something called a 'formation'."
It is said that the most famous battle formation in ancient Eastern times was called the Long Snake Formation, which involved arranging troops into a long, continuous formation and changing it according to the situation.
The Long Snake Formation is derived from the habits of snakes, and there are three variations of the Long Snake Formation.
With these three changes, the Long Serpent Formation operates like a giant python striking, its attacks fierce and powerful.
Enemy troops trapped in the long snake formation could only be annihilated.
The most terrifying are the strong among the Eastern martial artists. They possess magical powers that they can use to create predicaments and trap their enemies to death.
Our ancestors encountered powerful martial artists, and he could never forget, even in death, the way these Eastern masters could crush all enemies with a mere wave of their hands…
"Lord Jax, is everything you're saying true?"
Czech swallowed hard, feeling like he was listening to a myth.
Sydov remained silent, deeply shocked, and couldn't help but look at the person next to him.
The Count was also hearing detailed information about the powerful figures from the East for the first time.
He didn't doubt that Jacks was exaggerating; he had vaguely heard about it before, but he hadn't taken it seriously.
He took a deep breath. "Lord Jacks, do you mean that De Niro is very likely to encounter a powerful figure from the East?"
"You should know that the Eastern woman that De Niro has his eye on is a disciple of the Emei Sect, which is one of the ancient sects in the East."
Jacks' eyes showed regret. "It's all my fault for forgetting about this. Otherwise, I should have reminded De Niro not to underestimate his opponent, and at least he wouldn't have lost his life."
Sydov asked, "Lord Jax, do you mean that the Eastern woman's sect has a powerful figure?"
"Of course there is."
Jacks replied decisively, "Don't underestimate the major sects in the ancient Eastern country. They have been passed down from ancient times to the present. In addition to their superb martial arts skills, they also have many magical methods."
Now I finally understand why the high-ranking officials of this ancient Eastern country would send a young woman to Xiangdu.
After all, this place belongs to our territory.
Having operated for nearly a century, the higher-ups of this ancient Eastern country must understand that to eliminate forces like ours, they need powerful and capable individuals.
In my opinion, the sect and powerful figures behind this Eastern woman are their greatest reliance, enough to make her invincible in Xiangdu.
"Lord Jacks, are we just going to surrender?"
Czech frowned. "Even if the Eastern experts are very powerful, we are not much different. Why should we be afraid of them now that we have weapons and guns?"
"One strong person is not scary, but what about ten, or a hundred?"
Jacks glanced at him, then his gaze swept over the others. "The ancient Eastern Kingdom doesn't just have one Emei Sect; there are several other sects passed down from ancient times. Who knows how many powerful experts are hidden among these sects?"
The count, a foreigner, inquired, "So, Lord Jax, what you mean is..."
"Since the Eastern woman has a powerful protector by her side, I think we should avoid provoking her in the future."
Jacks said in a deep voice, "Even if we have the ability to deal with this woman and the powerful people around her, don't forget the sect behind her. I don't want to touch this Eastern woman and attract more powerful people."
The powerful figures of the ancient Eastern kingdoms are extremely protective of their own. If you touch someone they care about, you're inviting endless trouble, which will eventually draw out countless powerful figures to take action.
Then our fate will be the same as our ancestors'—we'll all be reduced to dust.
Is that really the case?
Kejie muttered to himself, still unable to believe it.
After all, he was proud, and he was invincible in Xiangdu.
Hearing that there were still powerful figures in the ancient Eastern kingdoms whom he could not resist, a sense of resentment rose in his heart.
"The fact that we were able to seize this ancient land in the East and become its rulers a hundred years ago is enough to demonstrate the strength of our ancestors."
Jacks ignored him and continued, "Moreover, with eight countries besieging us, we swept through the enemy lines with unstoppable momentum. Our ancestors plundered countless riches. Although the dynasty at the time was incompetent, it also shows that our ancestors' allied forces were invincible."
Ultimately, the allied forces of our ancestors all withdrew from the ancient Eastern country. Do you know why?
As I just mentioned, the powerful figures from the ancient Eastern kingdom have made their move.
Terrified, the entire allied force was forced to flee the area with all their gold and silver treasures.
Sydov asked again, "Why didn't we know?"
"Because our ancestors didn't want to say it."
Jacks gave him a deep look. "What happened a hundred years ago is both a source of pride and a disgrace for our ancestors."
After all, only 30% of the people managed to escape back then.
The remaining 60 percent remained in the ancient Eastern country, while 10 percent remained in the vast ocean.
Therefore, we, the younger generation, only know their glorious side, while the other side is buried in the truth of that time.
