Chapter 3136
Gongsun Po clearly wasn't happy either.
And he was obviously a bit angry.
"You're asking me what I'm here for? Whatever you're here for, I'm here for that too! I originally thought we were really going to fight the werewolves, but my scouts told me that the defensive zones on both my sides were completely empty, and a large number of werewolves had escaped. Turns out the two of you ran over here."
Wang Xiao said, "What's it got to do with you that we came here? Just mind your own business!"
Gongsun Po snorted, "Didn't we agree to deal with these werewolves first and then take on the White Tiger Regiment together? What do you mean by moving early? Trying to hog it all?"
Jin Xin said at this point, "Alright, alright, stop the nonsense. Since you're here, you'll get your share, but Yao Feng and Zhao Chi both belong to me."
Gongsun Po said discontentedly, "Both belong to you? How can they both belong to you? Fatty Wang, you agree too?"
Wang Xiao raged, "You little pretty-boy sell-out, who the hell are you calling fat? I agree, so what?"
Gongsun Po cursed, "Are you looking to die? Or have you become Jin Xin's lapdog? If they all go to her, the two of us get nothing!"
Jin Xin said, "Don't worry, I'll have Zhao Chi release the tech authorization. No one will be left out."
Gongsun Po didn't believe it at all: "Sign the agreement in the system right now. I don't trust you people."
Wang Xiao roared, "If you don't trust it, then get lost!"
Gongsun Po said coldly with a laugh, "Wang Xiao, your Wang family is also a respectable great noble house. Why are you acting like Jin Xin's dog? This time when the imperial elite returned, weren't there any from your Wang family? All dead?"
Wang Xiao raged, "You son of a bitch, it's YOUR family that's all dead! Seven of ours came back!"
Gongsun Po said, "Then why are you acting like you have no backbone? You believe her without even an agreement? I don't trust it. There must be an agreement, otherwise I'll help the White Tiger Regiment."
"You son of a bitch, are you insane?" Wang Xiao's teeth were about to crack from clenching.
Gongsun Po said, "I don't have one, then none of us get one!"
Wang Xiao was about to say more, but Jin Xin immediately stopped him, saying, "It's already been sent over. Take a look."
Wang Xiao was a bit surprised at this point: "Sent over? Your Highness Jin Xin, you've already written the agreement?"
Jin Xin sighed, "It's just a draft document."
Wang Xiao said discontentedly, "No... you really gave it to him? Even a draft is more useful than a verbal agreement, right? You gave Gongsun Po one but not me?"
Jin Xin said displeasedly, "The two of us are together. Gongsun Po is an outsider. You don't trust me?"
"Rather give it to an outsider than me? No way! I want one too, give me one too!"
Jin Xin had no choice and also sent Wang Xiao a copy.
Wang Xiao was secretly angry.
Jin Xin had clearly written it long ago. If he hadn't agreed, she would have pulled it out.
But since he agreed, she didn't give it to him.
Without system constraints, Jin Xin could break the agreement at any time.
Although the system isn't all-powerful, it does have binding force when it comes to tech authorization.
Although angry, he could only let it be.
Wang Xiao looked at the agreement carefully. Although the terms favored Jin Xin, at least the basic agreements were all there.
At least ten thousand times better than a verbal agreement.
Jin Xin stared at Gongsun Po: "How about it, Gongsun Po? The tech is shared among the three, but the people belong to me. Deal?"
Gongsun Po nodded: "Deal. So how do we fight now?"
Jin Xin said, "I'll handle Yao Feng and Zhao Chi personally. I'll definitely capture them properly. The two of you will deal with the other high-ranking lords of the White Tiger Regiment later. As for him..."
Jin Xin looked toward Imagawa Chisa.
"Each of you two send a deputy captain to deal with him!"
"Me?" Imagawa Chisa looked back in terror, hoping so badly that Jin Xin was talking about someone else.
But behind him were all his subordinate lords. There was no one else.
Jin Xin was talking about him!
Imagawa Chisa pointed at himself: "J-Jin... Your Highness Jin Xin, this is a misunderstanding, right? Why are you taking me on?"
Jin Xin completely ignored him.
Wang Xiao turned to a tall, thin lord beside him and said: "Wang Yuan, take two squadrons and go up."
"Yes!"
Gongsun Po beckoned: "Gongsun Li, you take people up!"
"As you command!"
Imagawa Chisa was about to go crazy.
Today really was an unlucky day.
Ran away three times and was driven back three times, only to die in the end anyway?
"Your Highness Wang Xiao! Your Highness Wang Xiao! Didn't you say you'd let me go? I've already left you the spoils of two squadrons. Why won't you let me go?"
Wang Xiao said coldly with a laugh, "That was then, this is now. Now we have enough people, so of course we can't waste a single bit. Stop the nonsense. Wang Yuan, get up there now!"
"Yes!"
The next moment, Wang Yuan vanished.
Imagawa Chisa clearly still wanted to say something, but he also immediately vanished.
He was connected by Wang Yuan and forcibly pulled back to his territory.
Gongsun Li and the many noble lords, as well as the werewolf lords, all vanished rapidly.
In just a moment, they had all been teleported back.
The first battlefield erupted.
At the same time.
When Gongsun Po appeared, Yao Feng was already discussing countermeasures with the many lords of the regiment headquarters in the system.
But there really was no good way.
Friendly forces had already engaged battle; pulling out now was simply impossible. The fastest would still need one to two hours to finish fighting, and adding travel time, the earliest arrival here would be over two hours.
Sow discord among these three nobles?
If there were more time, it could indeed be done, but with battle imminent, driving a wedge between them at this moment was nearly impossible.
Although there were clearly conflicts among them, their current objective was aligned. Yao Feng could not possibly split them apart at this time.
They could only fight head-on.
Zhao Chi also sent text, asking Yao Feng if he had a plan.
Yao Feng shook his head.
He sent a streak of light that struck Zhao Chi.
【Character】Zhao Chi
【Status】Swift Speech Art: greatly accelerates speaking speed and text communication speed.
There's this kind of spiritual technique?
Probably similar to the mind-link used when inside Gu Qing and the others' bodies?
A functional-type spiritual technique.
Yao Feng【Sigh…we just discussed it for a long time, but for now there's still no good plan】
Zhao Chi【Can we use a Truce Talisman to stall until our friendly forces finish fighting and come support us?】
Yao Feng【Against werewolves it would work, but not against nobles. They definitely have the formation energy of Central Zone 1; Zone 1's formation has the highest authority and can bypass Truce Talismans. We can try it later to test, but those few of them can't possibly overlook this point】
Zhao Chi【Zone 1's formation can bypass Truce Talismans? Even long-duration ones don't work?】
Yao Feng【Zone 1 is the core of the core, with the highest authority. Before, they probably didn't have the spare capacity to take extra formation energy from Central Zone 1, but now the imperial clan has returned and the pressure on Zone 1 is lessening. If they've spoken to the imperial clan in Zone 1 about this matter, then they can certainly bring out some of that capability】
Zhao Chi【I thought Truce Talismans were "invincible"】
Yao Feng【Yeah, in the vast majority of cases they're very useful, but this item is just an ordinary item, far from invincible】
Zhao Chi【How about…calling Zhao Quan over? Zhao Quan doesn't seem to be with them?】
Yao Feng【We already discussed this just now. Zhao Quan won't work either. Although Zhao Quan is relatively more rule-abiding by comparison, there's no essential difference between him and them. Zhao Quan definitely won't pass up this kind of opportunity either. Bringing him in would make things more complicated, and overall it would favor the nobles rather than us】
Zhao Chi【But if he comes, the variables will be huge. What if there's a chance? Maybe we could snatch something from the fire, fish in troubled waters】
Yao Feng【Don't underestimate the nobles. Treat them as the smartest opponents, don't treat them as fools. Don't try to rely on "luck" to solve problems. Zhao Quan is a noble, in the same camp as them—never hold any expectations for him. His methods are also extremely sharp】
Zhao Chi【Then there's no way?】
Yao Feng【Fight them head-on. The good news is we have those tokens. Although it's extremely difficult, it's not a certain-death situation】
Zhao Chi【If only we hadn't given those tokens out to the others back then】
Yao Feng【Can't be helped, no one could have foreseen this…it's mainly my responsibility. I guarded against everything, but failed to guard against the nobles at a moment like this. If I'd known, I shouldn't have let that outer batch of people withdraw; I should have kept them on outer perimeter defense and reconnaissance】
Zhao Chi【It's not your fault. After all, battle has already started, so we definitely have to consolidate all forces to fight. And if the nobles want to come, they must have a way to bypass their reconnaissance. The nobles should be able to do that very easily, right?】
