If the Yi tribe retreats at this point, their remaining strength will inevitably be devoured piece by piece by the Zhang and Huang tribes, and the Yi tribe's doom will come.
Therefore, Lady Lian had no choice but to gather her last remaining forces and fight the Zhang Huang clan to the death in Xiaoque City. Even if the Yi clan was destroyed, she wanted to severely weaken the Zhang Huang clan. If she could make Commander Lang back down and take the initiative to cease hostilities, that would be something Lady Lian would be more than happy to do.
Sure enough, when Commander Lang raised a hand, the Zhang Huang tribe's army immediately ceased their attack.
"Lady Lian, I've said it before, the Zhang Huang clan has no hostility towards your Yi clan. Why did you run away? It caused all your daughters to perish in the chaos of battle. Alas, I feel sorry for you." Commander Lang said slowly as he stepped forward.
"You've won this battle, and I'll admit defeat. You don't really think that winning this battle gives you a chance to wipe out my Yi clan, do you?" Lady Lian replied.
"No, no, when did I ever say I wanted to annihilate the Yi clan? Even if our two clans go to war, it's not my idea." Commander Lang hurriedly shook his head.
"Then why don't you withdraw your troops? Little Sparrow City has already been destroyed by you. Even if I wanted to invite you to dinner here, I wouldn't be able to," Lady Lian said coldly.
"So, since Little Sparrow City is already destroyed, you might as well just give it to my Zhanghuang Clan. We Zhanghuang Clan are not as particular as your Yi Clan, who require a mother nest to build a city. We are more casual; as long as we have clansmen, we can build a city," Lang Shuai chuckled.
"Don't even think about it! My Yi Clan army is right here in Xiaoque City. You try attacking Xiaoque City? Even if you manage to take Xiaoque City, your Zhang Huang Clan will no longer be the number one clan in Dongchuan," Lady Lian said angrily.
"Sigh, you shouldn't be so hot-tempered as you get older. Don't be impulsive, okay? I don't want to wipe out your Yi clan, and I don't even want to think about Xiaomei City. My Zhang Huang army is only going to fight a Xiaoque City that's already half-destroyed. Do you think that's difficult? How many of your sleeping guards are left?"
"Let me tell you, the forces here are less than half the strength of my Zhanghuang clan. It's just a small sparrow city. Why be so persistent? Don't lose sight of the bigger picture and cause the clan to be wiped out. If your Lady Lian is forced to become a long-term guest of my Zhanghuang clan then, that won't be fun."
"Moreover, after this battle, even if your Yi clan no longer has Xiaoque City, there should be plenty of land available. You don't need to worry about your daughters having nowhere to settle down, right? I've gone to such lengths to get Xiaoque City from my wife, is that too much to ask?"
Lang Shuai smiled and offered his advice.
"Commander Lang, you are the dignified patriarch of the Zhanghuang clan, a leading figure among the eighteen clans of Dongchuan. How could you go back on your word? You deserve to be ridiculed by all the clans of the Holy Domain!" Lady Lian said coldly.
"What do you mean?" Lang Shuai asked, taken aback.
"On the battlefield, everyone heard what your ceasefire conditions were. Did you even mention my Little Sparrow City? You said you'd give me tens of thousands of men, pay reparations, and return my Yi Jing—all lies! Your Zhang Huang clan has completely gone back on their word!" Lady Lian declared vehemently.
“Lady Lian, you are already so old, how can you still be so naive? You did not listen to my good advice and attacked Nanhe. How much damage did you cause to my Zhanghuang clan? Taking Xiaoque City from you is already a consideration for the generations of good relations between my Zhanghuang clan and your Yi clan. I will not make a big deal out of it.”
Coach Lang chuckled and shook his head.
"Since you don't want the Zhanghuang clan to suffer further losses, then my Yi clan will also make a concession. We don't want any compensation or anything like that. It would be best to stop the war here. After all, this war was started by your Zhanghuang clan. It was your Zhanghuang clan that provoked us by attacking my Xiaoque City and Xiaomei City."
Lady Lian remained calm and continued negotiating with Marshal Lang.
"My Zhanghuang clan attacked your Yi clan without authorization, causing such an undeserved disaster for both of us. I will give you an explanation sooner or later. But we need to discuss the current matter first. My Zhanghuang army is already at the gates of Xiaoque City, and taking it will be a piece of cake."
“If your Yi clan continues to fight, you may face the danger of extermination. At this time, I believe you, Madam, should know very well what is more important. Besides, my Zhanghuang clan has mobilized such a large force and gained such an advantage. If we do not take Xiaoque City, I, the commander, will not be able to explain to the various people in the clan.”
Marshal Lang continued to gently persuade Madam Lian.
"I don't care! If you, Commander Lang, can't even control your subordinates, that's your problem. I was in Muyi City properly entertaining your special envoy, but I didn't expect your Zhang Huang clan to suddenly launch an attack, destroying the sleeping guards of the two buildings in Muyi City, and also destroying my Xiaoque City and injuring my Xiaomei City."
"Now you actually have the nerve to ask for my Little Sparrow City? I have never suffered such humiliation in my entire life. You want my Little Sparrow City? Absolutely not! Come and fight me if you want. Let's just perish together!" Lady Lian said angrily.
"The Sleeping Guardians who destroyed two of your buildings? What happened then?" Lang Shuai's eyes widened in surprise.
"Young Master, don't waste your breath on this wicked woman. This ant is most likely stalling for time while waiting for reinforcements. Let's strike while the iron is hot and take Xiaoque City in one fell swoop! Then wiping out her Yi clan won't be difficult either. Don't you all agree?"
The Second Elder beside Commander Lang suddenly shouted, and his words were met with agreement from all the powerful figures of the Zhang and Huang clans.
"Delaying time? You think you can finish this in one fell swoop? What a joke! Since that's the case, then bring it on, Zhang Huang clan! Although my Yi clan consists of orphans, widows, and women, we have never been afraid of you Zhang Huang thieves!" Lady Lian shouted angrily upon hearing this.
"Come on then! Your Yi clan isn't afraid of my Zhanghuang clan, but do you think my Zhanghuang clan is afraid of your Yi clan? Brothers, charge! Today, my Zhanghuang clan will crush Xiaoque City in one fell swoop!" The Second Elder shouted, and the Zhanghuang army surged forward, and the battle resumed.
