The man was wearing an extremely luxurious animal skin outfit.

He is of average build and appearance, and doesn't stand out in any particular way.

But his appearance was rather peculiar, with clearly wolf-like eyes and a hooked nose.

Judging from his appearance, this person is a very shrewd and calculating individual.

This was Yuan Futong, the leader of the rebellion of the North Sea Seventy-Two Feudal Lords.

Those seated below were naturally the leaders of other feudal lords, as well as their military advisors and generals.

Of course, several leaders were killed in the daytime battle.

Several of them were temporary leaders who had just been internally elected.

These people gathered here primarily to discuss the direction of the upcoming battle and what they should do.

Yuan Futong remained silent, and naturally, the others dared not speak out of turn.

"Brothers, things are different now than they used to be."

"That incompetent ruler of Chaoge, whether in terms of his demeanor, his boldness, or his abilities, is extraordinary."

"That tyrannical ruler dared to appear in the North Sea; he must have some real strength."

"It's said that guy has been making a lot of big moves lately, not only killing bandits and eliminating thieves all over the world, but also distributing grain throughout the land. Some time ago, he even forcefully subdued the Dragon Clan."

"This guy is not someone to be underestimated. We brothers must work together, otherwise he might wipe us out in one fell swoop."

"After all, Grand Tutor Wen, the pillar of the Yin Shang Dynasty, has already been rescued by him."

"Their current troop strength has reached six or seven hundred thousand, which is not far behind ours."

Therefore, we must be extremely cautious going forward.

Upon hearing Yuan Futong's words, the other leaders all fell silent.

They were naturally aware of today's major battle.

Some people participated in the war personally, while others, though not personally involved, overheard many things indirectly.

They had heard a great deal about some of the methods employed by the current Human Emperor.

Their impression of that tyrannical ruler had clearly undergone a significant change.

Yuan Futong is right.

Since that guy dared to appear in the North Sea, he must have special abilities.

In particular, when that guy led an army of 200,000 to appear in the North Sea for the first time, he gave them a taste of their own medicine.

They not only killed several tribal leaders in succession, but also caused them heavy losses.

This battle cost them nearly two to three hundred thousand men.

What does this mean?

In this rebellion, they amassed an army of just over a million men.

That's a loss of one-fifth.

This was clearly unbearable for them.

"Boss Yuan said is right. That guy is definitely not a pushover. He flicked a few strands of hair in the air, and he actually made those Yin Shang fight like their lives depended on it, resulting in a crushing defeat for the North Sea Coalition Army. He certainly has some skills."

"And those two women beside that tyrant are no pushovers either. A dozen of us brothers attacked him at the same time, but those women easily stopped us. Perhaps those two women are the tyrant's true strength."

"That's true. Those soldiers were originally just a bunch of cowards, but I never expected them to be so fierce when they went berserk."

"When they went berserk, they attacked our warriors from the North Sea like cutting melons and vegetables, slaughtering us mercilessly. Men and horses were thrown into chaos. Even the combined forces of the Qiongqi Tribe Scarlet Flame Clan, the Qiongqi Clan, the Jiu Ying Tribe Kui Ox Tribe, the Demon Wolf Clan, and many other races were no match for them. They are truly not to be underestimated."

"I don't know if these tribes are too weak or if their rulers are too incompetent—"

These words immediately drew angry glares from the dozen or so tribal leaders.

"Stop spouting nonsense. You're only safe from a direct confrontation. If you were, you'd probably be in even worse shape."

His memories were of the leader of the Qiongqi Tribal Community.

The Qiongqi Tribal Community is almost infamous.

However, their combat strength is indeed formidable; they are fearless and invincible throughout the entire North Sea.

Although they were routed, they quickly regrouped and charged ahead once again.

Now that someone was mocking their tribe, it naturally infuriated him.

This guy dares to mock their Qiongqi Tribal Community? Isn't he courting death?

The Kui Ox Tribe on the other side was equally furious.

"You're shameless, your words are really Earthly Dao."

"If you can't trust other races, can't you trust our Kui Ox Tribe?"

"In a head-on confrontation, our Kui Ox Tribe didn't gain the slightest advantage; in fact, we were easily defeated by them."

"While we were risking our lives fighting the Qiongqi Tribal Community on the front lines, you were still sleeping soundly with your woman in your arms, and you actually have the right to laugh at us?"

The speaker was Tian Kui, the leader of the Kui Ox Tribe.

His younger brother Lei Kui, died at the hands of Zhang Kui, and he is still deeply resentful about it.

To be ridiculed like this naturally enraged him.

Mocking the Qiongqi Tribal Community is one thing.

How dare they mock their Kui Ox Tribe?

How could their Kui Ox Tribe be compared to ordinary tribes?

Among the North Sea Seventy-Two Feudal Lords, their Kui Ox Tribe could at least rank in the top ten, or even the top five.

Being ridiculed like this naturally enraged him.

I wish I could kill this foul-mouthed bastard right now to vent my anger.

The leader of the Demon Wolf Clan on the other side was also burning with rage.

He also suffered a great loss in this battle.

He fought Zhang Kui for hundreds of rounds.

The match remained undecided.

Later, he was ambushed and almost died a horrible death.

Now that he's back and has been ambushed by these guys, he's naturally getting angry.

"Ignore him, that old bastard doesn't know anything."

"Next time, just let them charge ahead in battle. Not only have they made no contribution, but they're also spewing nonsense here."

These leaders, who had suffered heavy losses, were all furious and spoke out one after another.

Their tribe had suffered heavy losses this time, and now they were being ridiculed by others, which naturally enraged them.

The leader who had spoken earlier, seeing that he had stirred up public anger, was also furious.

These guys are actually coming towards me?

"You bunch of stray dogs, you've been scared out of your wits by others, and you actually dare to bark and howl at Laozi here? Do Laozi really think I'm afraid of you?"

These words further fueled public outrage.

Especially the twenty-odd leaders who appeared on the battlefield.

Everyone was furious.

They were defeated, and naturally they were extremely frustrated.

I can't believe this guy dared to ridicule me like that!

That's practically suicide.

More than twenty leaders stood up, ready to kill the man.

This guy also had some close allies who stepped in to stop him.

In an instant, the entire camp descended into chaos.

The Seventy-Two Feudal Lords were certainly not a united front.
