"Is that an elephant?"
Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Gongsun Zan's eyes.
As a typical northerner, he had never actually heard of elephants before, but seeing one now truly shocked him.
This thing is just too huge. No wonder the messenger needed to find a ship to send it over. This thing weighs at least 10,000 kilograms. It would be quite a challenge for a regular warship to send two of these over.
But here's the question: why did the emperor send his lord two such large items?
There's something fishy going on here!
"Snort!"
A cold glint flashed in Wang Yue's eyes as he frowned and said, "My lord, what does Li Anlan mean by this? Why is he sending you these two things? Is he trying to intimidate you?"
He was a little annoyed!
As the top guard of the Crown Prince, and in charge of the Lord's Net, it's quite embarrassing that he was frightened by two beasts.
I initially thought they were two monsters, but they turned out to be elephants.
He glanced at the messenger, his eyes filled with undisguised malice. This Great Ning was truly courting death, daring to provoke their lord. Did they really think they wouldn't dare kill them?
Xun Yu shook his head and laughed, "Haha, the emperor is probably implying something. He's telling our lord not to be a mayfly trying to shake a mighty tree, overestimating his own abilities."
Everyone's faces instantly darkened. This wasn't someone here to deliver an imperial decree; they were clearly here to cause trouble.
No wonder they insisted on bringing the elephant over; only then did the messenger arrive. These two bastards are the real protagonists, there to humiliate their lord.
"A mayfly trying to shake a giant tree?"
A fierce glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, and he sneered, "This Li Anlan is comparing himself to an elephant and me, Lin Yi, to dust. He's really quite confident."
"Damn it, this elephant is so arrogant, daring to humiliate our lord! I've heard there's a king of tigers on Great Yu Mountain, I'll go catch it and show these bastards the might of Xiliang!"
Qu Yi was furious. This Emperor of Great Ning was simply courting death. Did he really not know how powerful our lord was?
They think they can ride on our lord's head just because they brought two elephants? Don't even think about it.
Looking at the hot-tempered Qu Yi, Lin Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes and said irritably, "What king of tigers? Even the biggest tiger is useless. On land, apart from dinosaurs, there seem to be very few elephants bigger than it."
"Dinosaur?"
The crowd was baffled. What kind of dinosaur was this, so awesome that it was even bigger than this elephant? They had never heard of it before.
"My lord, why don't we just kill that elephant? That way, those two dead things won't be able to swagger around!" Zhang Liao said with a gloomy face.
Now that our lord is such a person, it would be a huge joke if his dignity were trampled on by two beasts. He absolutely will not allow this to happen.
No matter how powerful the monster was, with his own Formation-Breaking Camp, he was more than capable of killing these two elephants.
Lin Yi shook his head. Although he was somewhat displeased with Li Anlan's approach, he was still very interested in elephants.
This thing would be quite good as a mount; it's at least a high-end mount.
However, Li Anlan's betrayal, mocking himself for being like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, is somewhat disgusting.
You just wait!
You, Li Anlan, sent two elephants, are they really that big? One day, I, the Crown Prince, will go out to sea and capture a blue whale, so you, this dog emperor, will know what real size is!
Seeing the approaching delegation, he said calmly, "We'll talk about that later. Their angels have already arrived. Let's first see what their purpose is; they won't let this go so easily!"
He was a powerful emperor after all; how could he compromise so easily? Li Anlan probably wouldn't hand over this imperial edict so easily!
His gaze fell upon the envoy behind the elephant, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. It was still unknown who was trying to intimidate whom. Now that I had an army of 400,000 men under my command, what gave you the right to control me!
court death!
On the other side, Tan Cheng, the angel, felt a jolt in his heart. In that instant, he felt as if he were being watched by countless wolves and tigers, and his eyes immediately became wary.
"Sir, is something amiss?" Wei Tong, the guard beside him, whispered.
Tan Cheng shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, although Lin Yi's strength is not what it used to be, he would never dare to kill me, a Ninth Minister. Even if he and his son join forces, they are not yet at the point of shaking the Great Ning!"
In his view, Lin Yi only had 150,000 troops, and more than 100,000 of them were new recruits, so only 30,000 of them were capable of fighting.
These troops are fine for dealing with Tuoba Yu's defeated soldiers, but if they were to take on the Great Ning Dynasty, they would be inviting humiliation.
Hearing his confident words, Wei Tong couldn't help but twitch his lips and mutter, "I was just as confident last time, confident that I could control everything with the help of the Great Ning Guard. Now I'm just a guard."
He was the commander of the Great Ning Guard, a figure comparable to the Nine Ministers, yet he was now being punished to serve as a guard, all because he had been too confident in his previous actions.
That Heir of Northern Liang doesn't play by the rules. He's so arrogant and confident now that the Tan Cheng over; he might end up suffering a great loss.
I'm already a guard; if I'm demoted again, I'll probably only be able to guard the gate.
"What did you say?" Tan Cheng looked at him, his brows furrowing slightly.
"It's nothing, it's nothing!"
Wei Tong waved his hand. This time, he wasn't the one leading the charge. Whatever problems arose, he would naturally have to Tan Cheng and take responsibility. It was better for him to play dumb.
Tan Cheng, he said in a deep voice, "Follow these two sacred elephants closely. Ahead is the former Northern Ning Prince's Mansion. Lin Yi is inside now. Finally, we can see this Heir of Northern Liang who has wreaked havoc in the north!"
He was very unhappy with Lin Yi. As the head of the clerk's office, he was in charge of these ethnic minorities in the border areas, which already had a lot of work to do. In addition, this father and son were like troublemakers, which made him extremely disgusted.
It's a pity that this kid is already showing promise; otherwise, I would have definitely crushed him here!
The convoy slowly made its way towards the Prince of Northern Ning's residence, attracting a great deal of attention.
The common people stared in disbelief at the two enormous creatures; they were simply monsters, things they had never seen before.
Now that the Emperor had actually bestowed this upon the Crown Prince, they couldn't help but feel curious.
"What is this thing? It looks like a gift from the Emperor to the Crown Prince. Is it a monster?"
"What terrifying creatures! These two monstrous things are going to crush this street. They're absolutely horrifying, like ferocious beasts!"
"What does His Majesty mean by giving these two wretched things to the Crown Prince? Are they meant to be his mounts, or are they meant for him to eat?"
"The young master seems to have called this an elephant. It's huge! It's probably enough to feed our whole family for a year."
"Ugh, you two are fucking geniuses! You actually want to eat a monster like that? I think you're starving!"
