Chapter 818

Zhao Huang asked: "If we keep wiping out the vassal forces of the Heavenly King Army, won't Jiang Yang bring the Heavenly King Army to take revenge? They're known to repay even a single grievance."

Zhao Qizong said: "Jiang Yang and his men aren't in a good situation right now either. They've wiped out several clans in Xijiang County and seized a lot from them. Now they're being jointly hunted down. They won't outright lose, but they're in a sorry state. They have no spare strength to deal with us."

Zhao Cang asked: "So, we're going to cooperate with the Yizuye Society and take the initiative to march out?"

"Yes." Zhao Shizhang nodded.

Zhao Huang sighed: "It's not actually that bad, then. Since we can't avoid it, let's fight. At least if we win, there's plenty of loot."

"Loot?" Zhao Qiye snorted. "Those Yizuye want 50% of the loot from us."

"50%! On what grounds?" Zhao Huang clenched his fist and slammed the table.

He spoke for the hearts of most of the lords.

But there was nothing to be done; he could only slam the table to vent his anger.

Zhao Huang immediately let out another heavy sigh.

Reality was the heaviest burden.

When one had to bow one's head, one could only bow it.

Zhao Shizhang said: "We've secured 7 days. After all, the fighting only just ended not long ago, and no one has recovered their vitality yet. During these 7 days, everyone should digest the loot from last time as quickly as possible."

Zhao Jing asked: "Grand Elder, how strong will our next target be? Compared to those bandits we fought this time, is it stronger or weaker?"

Zhao Shizhang said: "A bit stronger. But those Yizuye Society will also strike, so overall the difficulty should be about the same, right?"

Hearing this, everyone's hearts sank.

The Zhao clan suffered heavy losses in the last battle. Whether in deaths or lost territory, the Zhao clan lost 9 lords.

There would definitely be losses this time too.

At this rate, the Zhao clan would only grow weaker and weaker.

Zhao Chi couldn't help but ask: "Grand Elder, last time I heard you say our village also recruited 3 allied forces? How is their situation now?"

Zhao Shizhang heard this and sighed deeply once more.

"Don't count on them anymore. One was a clan, already wiped out. One was a mercenary band, already absorbed by the Yizuye. And one actually came back to beg our village for help... The rest can't even look after themselves. Now we really can only look after ourselves, each relying on their own ability."
