Chapter 739: Victory of the Weak over the Strong

~7 min read 1,349 words

The entire scene was, at this moment, terrifyingly silent.

They found it hard to believe that the fierce tiger "Weilong," which had been majestic and invincible among the Wolf Pack just moments ago, had begun to move with agonizing slowness.

The cleverness of this Wolf Pack was, at this time, once again displayed to the fullest.

They began to continue their assault, continuing to use their sharp teeth to tear at the wounds already on the tiger's body.

And so.

Its wounds went from small to large, from large to nearly the entire tiger hide being stripped away.

This scene was absolutely shocking, absolutely striking a powerful blow to one's sight and soul.

It was even shocking to the point that Xie Fang, as well as that Lao Zhang, forgot to even curse.

Awoo, awoo.

The tiger was still crying out, but its strength was growing weaker and weaker.

Awoo, awoo.

The pack of wolves continued their attack; it was clear that they, having intentionally conserved their stamina earlier, were the ones standing at the end!

"Awoo!"

The leg-broken alpha wolf finally let out a long howl toward the sky, launching the final all-out attack.

The tiger Weilong, which had been invincible just moments ago, finally collapsed to the ground amidst the horrified gazes of the people.

The air at the scene seemed to have completely frozen at this moment.

The pack of wolves did not make another sound.

The tiger was already on its last breath.

The people did not cheer, nor did they curse.

They only felt their scalps go numb, and everyone could not help but gasp. They all seemed to recall that remark made by Vice Minister Liu just moments ago.

"Natural selection, survival of the fittest."

In the face of true life and death, what kings of the mountain, what imperial families, were all nothing.

There is only the Method to survive.

There is only the Method to defeat the opponent...

When the pack of wolves achieved victory, the people also suddenly realized Liu Zheng's attitude at this time.

Facing Xie Fang's provocation, he had no fear whatsoever.

He was telling Xie Fang.

The era is developing, and civilization is developing. But the instincts of human nature actually have similarities with beastly nature. When a person is faced with life and death and has almost no choice, they will not care about what imperial family or not; they only want to survive themselves, using every possible means to survive!

Therefore, the silence at the scene actually included people's fear of Liu Zheng's attitude.

Xie Fang was so angry that his whole body was trembling.

The tiger was dead.

This meant that in the land of Liaodong, his status as Crown Prince was not useful! Not only was it not useful, but it was also very easy to become a target for everyone!

However, he still could not say anything.

Because the Wolf Pack had truly defeated the tiger.

"Good!"

"Impressive!"

"Hahahaha, Lao Zhang, how about that? How is my precious Wolf Pack?"

The first to let out an exclamation was still Xiang Chengfeng.

Yes, he finally could not hold it back! Because in this battle, he had earned a full fifty thousand taels!

Lao Zhang's complexion was also ashen.

"Good, spectacular!"

"Truly great!"

"I really didn't expect it, a wolf actually killed a tiger!"

The people began to discuss it heatedly.

Compared to the unclear and ambiguous atmosphere between Liu Zheng, the Prince of Yong, the Prince of Wei, as well as the Crown Prince and Xie Ming at this time, they valued the explosive effect of the scene even more.

"Continue! Continue!"

"Fight again! Fight again!"

The scene boiled over once more. These wealthy men from all the great provinces of Longyan, at the top of their lungs, waving the gold and silver in their hands, hoarse and spitting, slammed this gold and silver fiercely onto the table in front of Pei Qianyun. Some wanted to buy wild beasts to fight this Wolf Pack! Some wanted to place bets.

In short, the scene was incredibly lively.

A merchant as shrewd as Xiang Chengfeng was naturally not stupid. His precious Wolf Pack was already injured, so facing Lao Zhang's challenge again, he hurriedly had people take the Wolf Pack away, intending to replenish his forces and fight again tomorrow.

Next.

Was a battle between a brown bear dragged out of hibernation and a group of lynxes!

The charge of the Ottoman, the magnitude of its power and the intensity of its momentum, were no worse than the brown bear.

The third time the two sides charged, it was still the slaughter and being slaughtered that people expected.

The Liangzhou Army was still in a wretched state, seemingly having gained no experience from the previous two charges on how to counter this Sipahi Cavalry. They even threw away their helmets and armor faster, and the whole scene turned into a one-sided crushing by the Ottoman Sipahi Cavalry. Those Sipahi Cavalry were laughing arrogantly and cursing.

They seemed to feel that fighting this bunch of weak Longyan was truly a waste of their time and a detriment to the honor of their Knight status!

And so.

The fourth charge was still the same.

Every time the two sides charged, the Longyan side suffered a loss of about ten thousand soldiers.

This made those generals of the Six-Nation Allied Forces begin to wail and howl to the heavens.

In the end, even they could not help but begin to question Zhai Shiqing as to what exactly she wanted to do.

Zhai Shiqing nodded and answered them honestly: "I am calculating the gap between their charge speed and the speed of our Cavalry."

These people all went mad along with her.

At a time like this, what is the use of calculating that?

When this fourth charge once again ended in a miserable defeat, a group of people could no longer hold back, one after another demanding to retreat with their own troops.

Who would have thought that at this moment, Zhai Shiqing laughed out loud: "I have it! Honorable generals, believe me, this fifth charge, we will certainly achieve victory!"

This group of generals listened and looked at each other in dismay.

Was she not crazy?

Their Cavalry only had fifty thousand men left!

And the opposition?

They still had eighty thousand!

This was not just a difference in quantity, it was a chasm in quality! Under these circumstances, you say we are certain to win?

Seeing that everyone did not believe her, Zhai Shiqing smiled slightly and drew her sword: "Honorable generals, please give me one more chance! If we do not win this time, Zhai Shiqing shall commit suicide on the spot!"

This statement frightened quite a few people.

One must know, this Zhai Shiqing was a general from the Celestial Empire of Longyan! To let her commit suicide, they feared they still dared not.

"Fine!"

"One more time!"

"General Zhai, we have an agreement; if it does not work this time, we must withdraw the army!"

"Fine!"

Zhai Shiqing smiled faintly.

After speaking, she spurred her horse out a few paces, clearly intending to personally command this battle.

The crowd changed color and tried to persuade her otherwise.

Zhai Shiqing, however, was very stubborn; regardless of what others said, she had already ridden onto the battlefield. Looking at these Liangzhou Army soldiers, who were full of decadence and despair, she smiled slightly: "Brothers, I have just signed a Military Order before the generals; this time, if we do not win, I shall commit suicide on the spot!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers all raised their heads.

Those who were just incredibly decadent now had eyes that turned fierce one by one.

Since the general had said as much, what else could they say?

Fight!

Continue to fight those barbarians!

Zhai Shiqing said no more; dressed in her military uniform, she looked straight ahead: "This time, spearmen charge, Archer units on the flanks!"

"Artillery! Listen to my command!"

"Yes!"

The entire field roared in response.
