Slaughter (2)

One person's strength is limited after all. Unless special methods are used, it is impossible to fight against a large army. If it were possible, then as long as those Heaven-Rank Experts are dispatched, the entire world could be conquered.

Furthermore, the emperor must also be Heaven-Rank Expert, otherwise how could he suppress these experts?

This can actually be well illustrated when Ye Lang and the others fled Soaring Sky Empire. At that time, there were quite a few experts among them, at least two of whom were at the Heavenly level, and many more were close to the Heavenly level. Yet, when faced with a large army, they still had to flee.

Everyone gets tired sometimes, and there are times when their energy is completely depleted...

Li Yue didn't speak, but just stared coldly at the general. She wasn't frightened by the situation. "Am I easily scared?"

The Little Devil Girl received military-style training from a young age. No matter how powerful the enemy, she would remain calm. That's why she said she had never used the Heavenly Mechanism Armor, even if her life was in danger.

One of the soldier's duties is absolute obedience!

Whom should we obey? For now, it's our confused superior, Ye Lang!

"To be honest, your five thousand men are not bad; you can surround and kill Li Yue. However, don't forget that you will also suffer heavy losses, with most of you being killed by Li Yue! Have you thought about this price?" Ye Lang's calm voice rang out at this moment, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.

"Cost..."

The general suddenly stopped, as if he had just realized the cost. He had only thought about completing the task and achieving the goal, but he hadn't considered what he would lose in the process.

Now, thinking about it carefully, if we really had to fight Li Yue, how many of our five thousand men would be left? Judging from the methods she just displayed, we would lose at least half of them.

In that case, you'll get the credit, but your subordinates won't. Is it worth it?

Not worth it!

But can this matter just be left like this?

It seems that's not possible either!

"Actually, this matter is completely pointless. You shouldn't make unnecessary sacrifices. We're just passing by and won't have any impact on you. If anyone should be dealing with scum like you, it's Zhao Yarou who should handle it," Ye Lang said casually.

"..." Li Yue fell silent, thinking to herself: My young master, can you not be so direct? Even though they are scoundrels, you can't say it so bluntly. At least when you want someone to stop, you shouldn't do it like this.

"Scoundrel?"

"Zhao Yarou?"

Who is this kid? He speaks so arrogantly, directly addressing the Emperor as Zhao Yarou, and even calling us scum in front of us.

"How dare you!! You dare to address the Emperor by his name, this is utterly rebellious!!" Although the general still didn't understand who Ye Lang was, and he wasn't really that nervous about someone offending Zhao Yarou, he would still habitually show his loyalty on the surface.

"What's so rebellious or audacious about this?" Ye Lang said blankly. "Ever since she became emperor, I've always called her Zhao Yarou. I'm not under her jurisdiction, so I don't need to call her Emperor."

"What about before she became the emperor?" Li Yue suddenly asked. Ye Lang was clearly referring to the fact that he had another name for Zhao Yarou before she became the emperor.

Everyone present could understand the subtext and wanted to figure it out, because it would directly reveal Ye Lang's identity and clarify the relationship between Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou.

"Before she became emperor?" Ye Lang thought for a moment, seemingly unable to recall anything, and casually replied, "I think I called her Eighth Princess..."

"..."

This statement seems to have no meaning at all; it's as if everyone calls each other that, except that his later use of the name Zhao Yarou was somewhat unusual.

"Who exactly are you?" the general asked again, as he really had no other way to approach the question.

"Didn't I say my name is Li Gui, and she's my older sister..." Ye Lang said casually.

"Please don't say 'older sister'!" Li Yue said somewhat reluctantly, not wanting to hear the word "older sister".

"Oh, okay, she's my older sister."

"..." Li Yue remained silent. The word "big" was also a way of declaring that she was older than him, and it sounded rather unfriendly.

Many people can call her "Big Sister"!

"Forget it, you should just use your older sister's!" Li Yue said.

"Okay, sis. Would you like some more rabbit meat, sis?" Ye Lang put away the roasted rabbit meat, tore off a piece, and ate it himself.

Li Yue replied readily, "Give it to me! I'm just letting you use it, not telling you to use it in every sentence!!"

"Yes, sis! Here you go, sis! Here you go, sis!" Ye Lang nodded and tore off a piece of rabbit meat for Li Yue.

"..." Li Yue was speechless. She took a big bite of rabbit meat and chewed it fiercely to vent her dissatisfaction. She didn't dare to say anything to Ye Lang, because she knew that saying anything to Ye Lang would only make her more depressed.

"You guys are really taking it easy!!"

As the general watched Ye Lang and his companion begin eating the roasted rabbit, he felt ignored, and a sense of humiliation rose within him, fueling his anger.

What's going on now? You're surrounded by our army, and we just had our first major battle. Now you're acting like we don't exist, as if we're on a picnic.

This is blatant humiliation!!

"Yes, I believe we would be more relaxed without you!" Ye Lang nodded, unfortunately adding fuel to the fire in the general's heart.

"Damn it, I'll take you down even if I die!! Brothers, kill these two bastards!!" the general roared. At this moment, he felt that even if most of his men died, he would not regret his decision.

These two are challenging the dignity of the Gray Wolf Unit; this is a very serious issue!!

Actually, he had another idea in his mind, a very secret one: even if many people died, he himself would be fine and would even get credit, so why not do it!

"Since you're courting death, then I have no choice. Li Yue, these people are not good people. You've already investigated them, so kill them without worry!" Ye Lang said calmly. And without anyone knowing, a magical power began to flow from beneath his feet, drawing Alchemy Array on the ground.

This is something Ye Lang always does: he ensures his and Li Yue's safety, makes all the necessary preparations, and exerts his strength at the most crucial moment. This is also why he has been able to save Li Yue at the most critical moment every time.
