Chapter 1620 I’ll ask you if you dare
The 50-kilometer mountain road is difficult to walk on, and we have to take various detours.
As we approach the grassland, each mountain has a guardian: Greedy Snake, Crocodile, Angel, Iron Wall...
Including White Wolf, we encountered a total of 7 guardian forces, with a total number of around a thousand people.
Except for the White Wolf who was killed, the other six guardians almost all chose to surrender unilaterally. One reason was that Lei Zhen's side had more people and more power, and the other was because of Lei Zhen's dominant level strength.
In a place where whoever has the bigger fist is the boss, everyone follows the rule that strength is king, so it is very easy to surrender.
First, the army approaches, and then Lei Zhen performs a full combat mode, allowing the opponent to feel the dominant aura on his body and then he can basically call it a day.
And as the number of people increases, it becomes easier.
When the team of nearly 10,000 people arrived at a place about 10 kilometers away from the grassland, the guardian in charge of the place led everyone to kneel on the ground to greet them.
The power of the sun is so strong that no one can go against its will.
Just five kilometers away from the grassland, when they arrived at a spacious valley, Lei Zhen saw that the opposite side was full of people.
There was a cavalry of a hundred men, and a phalanx of archers.
The Black Emperor has arrived to suppress the rebellion.
Seeing the cavalry, Lei Zhen couldn't help but frown.
In cold weapon combat, cavalry is a steel torrent composed of tanks, and facing infantry, it is a meat grinder and has almost no natural enemies.
Moreover, the enemy's number was much greater, both guardians and plunderers, and their number was several times greater than their own.
What's more, there were hundreds of archers, so there was no chance of victory at all.
"The boulder! The snake! The crocodile! The angel... are you guilty of betraying me?"
The deep voice echoed in the valley with the aura of a king.
"You know your crime!"
"You know your crime!!"
“Know your crime!!!”
Countless people roared, shaking the snow and making the several guardians of the boulder tremble with fear in their eyes.
Lei Zhen took a small step forward.
It was this one step that calmed the emotions of Jushi and the others.
"Lord Black Emperor, we are now following the Sun Lord..."
"Hahaha!"
Loud laughter rang out, and then tens of thousands of people formed a wide path.
A middle-aged man in black armor and with wildly flowing black hair rode out slowly on a black warhorse, giving people a sense of being unrivaled in the world.
"Damn, this guy is pretending to be awesome!"
Lei Zhen couldn't help but admire and gave a thumbs up without hesitation.
As expected of the leader-level Black Emperor, his appearance is full of arrogance, especially with the black armor, black hair and black horse. The effect is simply invincible, and he can be regarded as a model of pretentiousness.
As expected, it was a duel of cold weapons, and the show-off in front of the battle was unparalleled.
It's nothing like a war with hot weapons. Not to mention jumping out to show off, even if you hide in the trenches and say something crazy, you will be blown to pieces by howitzers in the next second.
"Black Emperor——"
Lei Zhen made a sound, and the momentum followed the sound.
A hundred meters away, the Black Emperor on horseback was startled and looked cautious.
He could tell that this person was at least a leader on par with himself. He just didn't know when such a strong person would appear in the Exile Land.
"You don't want to lose a third of your troops, do you?" Lei Zhen said as he walked forward. "Losing a third of your troops will significantly weaken your strength, leading to serious consequences. You'll be at a disadvantage in the competition, and your voice will be weakened."
He is professional in analyzing the real situation.
As a veteran on the battlefield, he had already analyzed the Black Emperor's military strength and knew exactly where the opponent's weaknesses lay.
Who would be willing to lose one-third of their troops due to internal friction?
To reach the leadership level, strength is only part of it, wisdom is also essential.
"There are five leaders, fighting openly and secretly among themselves. If you are weak, you will inevitably be devoured by the others, or even replaced."
"Everything you have will vanish into thin air, your children will be killed, and your women will become spoils of war. Is this what you want?"
"Troops are your foundation. I think you can already imagine the horror of losing one-third of your troops..."
The Black Emperor on horseback looked serious because what Lei Zhen said was true.
Once one third of his troops are lost, it is equivalent to a serious loss of vitality. Although the tens of thousands of troops on the opposite side are not elite, he only has more than 30,000 people.
"Where are you from? Maybe you don't know enough about the Exile Land. We are all under the command of the Lord of the Bright Moon, and we get along well with each other." said the Black Emperor.
"You're kidding me! If you could just get along, you'd have launched a thousand arrows at once. Why are you still talking nonsense to me?" Lei Zhen said disdainfully, "I've fought more battles than you've eaten meals. How can you be so insignificant? I can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops with just a single word. I can tell at a glance how many troops you have."
This is called professionalism!
After having enough massages, you can tell at a glance which one can be taken out; after drinking enough tea, you can tell whether it is new tea or old tea at a glance.
By the same token, after fighting many battles and having a little information, you can basically infer the enemy's total troop strength, weapons and equipment, the situation they are in, etc.
Lei Zhen never believed that there were no contradictions between separatist forces, because the essence of separatism was the checks and balances imposed by the leaders on them.
If they are in harmony with each other, the leader will stir up their conflicts; if the conflicts deepen, the leader will help them ease the conflicts.
This is a check and balance, and also a way to control subordinates.
If the east wants to rebel, it has to think about the other parties; if the east and south are preparing to rebel together, they have to think about the north and west parties. In addition, they have to consider whether the other party is reliable, etc.
All in all, Lei Zhen became more and more interested in the Lord of the Bright Moon.
I thought it was just barbaric management, but I didn't expect it to be separatist management. Although it is not the best model, it is definitely the best choice in exile.
"I, the Sun Lord, am giving you a chance—" Lei Zhen said, standing in the center, pointing at the opponent. "If you can defeat me, you can withdraw one-third of my forces, and I will follow your lead. If you can't defeat me, just tell me one thing."
Hei Huang didn't say anything, just stared at him.
It’s not that I’m afraid, but I vaguely smell an unusual scent, which does give me a sense of dominance.
But there is only one master here, how could another one appear?
This guy must have come from an evil land, and it is impossible for a master to appear in an evil land.
"If you're a man, fight me one-on-one. Don't be so fussy." Lei Zhen shouted, "The winner is king, the loser is a bandit. War between men is so refreshing. Don't let your warriors look down on you! I just want to ask you, do you dare to fight me one-on-one?"
Without waiting for the other party to speak, he continued to ask.
"Do you dare to wage a man's war?"
"Just ask if you dare?"
"Dare or dare not——"
Each shout was louder than the last, and the momentum was rising steadily, causing everyone on the Black Emperor's side to show fear, because those who were facing the plunderer could vaguely feel the breath of the master.
