One Palm, One Dragon; One Dragon, a Hundred Lives
On the left is a cavalry force of ten thousand mammoths and elephants.
These mammoths were four to five meters tall and seven to eight meters long, with tusks alone exceeding two meters in length. What terrifyingly enormous creatures they were!
The sight of tens of thousands of mammoths charging forward is clearly unimaginable, especially since each of these mammoths is ridden by a towering warrior.
Each warrior was clad in heavy armor, wielding a ten-meter-long spear, and carrying a terrifying two-handed greatsword four or five meters long on their back.
At this moment, this incredibly terrifying cavalry was charging towards them.
On the other side, hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry charged towards them.
Although this cavalry unit may appear somewhat ordinary, they are clearly exceptionally skilled and brave warriors.
The tall horses and the warriors seated on them were all clad in heavy armor and wielded long spears.
The charge of hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen took only a moment, and countless men and horses were thrown into chaos, killed or wounded.
The Eastern Evil King was completely stunned by the scene and could not believe it at all.
Each of these cavalrymen possessed terrifying strength, and they could easily cut down his warriors, killing countless of them in the blink of an eye.
One glance was enough to make his eyes widen in fury.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty— King Yueji has ordered the army to retreat! Your Majesty, please retreat quickly too!"
A soldier stepped forward to tell Eastern Evil King that although he was unwilling to accept the situation, he ultimately ordered a retreat, as the enemy cavalry was simply too powerful.
Now that the enemy has launched an attack, it is clearly at a great disadvantage for them, and they have no choice but to retreat immediately.
On the city wall, Marquis of the East Jiang Hengchu watched as hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry from Chaoge launched their charge, instantly annihilating tens of thousands of enemy troops.
His jaw nearly dropped in astonishment; he had never imagined that the army led by His Human Emperor would be so formidable.
To him, the Eastern Yi Clan were already extremely fierce, yet these ferocious Eastern Yi Clan were no match for the Yin Shang soldiers?
Having witnessed the power of the Chaoge soldiers firsthand, Marquis of the East Jiang Hengchu was now brimming with confidence.
But deep in the plains, dozens of kilometers east of Jiaozhou City.
The retired leaders of the Eastern Yi Clan gathered together and engaged in heated discussions.
Seven or eight leaders had been discussing the matter, but they could not reach a consensus.
Some people, however, believed that a strong attack was necessary. They argued that Jiaozhou City was a tough nut to crack and would have to be cracked sooner or later. Once this tough nut was cracked, they could advance unimpeded.
At that time, whether they devour half of Eastern Lu or plunder it, it will be up to them.
However, some people do not think so. Jiaozhou City was originally a formidable pass, and the elite troops of Chaoge, commanded by His Majesty the Human Emperor, are currently stationed in Jiaozhou City.
Taking Jiaozhou City would obviously be extremely difficult; besides, they were not good at siege warfare.
A direct assault on Jiaozhou City would result in devastating losses, so they suggested a different approach: invading from the weakest points of the Yin Shang dynasty.
While this would bypass the formidable Jiaozhou City, it would also involve taking many detours and wouldn't guarantee the acquisition of sufficient supplies.
This puts us in a dilemma.
In particular, the two leading figures, the Eastern Evil King and the King Yueji, have also developed a disagreement.
The Eastern Evil King believed that Jiaozhou City had to be destroyed; only by destroying the Jiaozhou City could they control it.
Taking down Jiaozhou City was a monumental achievement that would benefit future generations.
But King Yueji wanted to move.
This led to a fierce conflict between the two sides.
However, the majority of the Eastern Yi Clan still decided to launch a full-scale attack.
The Eastern Yi Clan is currently at its peak, and if this city cannot be captured now, there may never be another chance.
Ultimately, they decided to launch a full-scale attack. After establishing this general strategic policy, they began discussing other strategic deployments.
"What exactly is this mammoth cavalry? How could they be so terrifyingly powerful?"
Someone raised the question, and the others immediately fell silent.
This was the first time they had ever seen such ferocious cavalry; both the knights and their mounts were utterly invincible.
They had always believed their cavalry was the most valiant, but the appearance of the Chaoge cavalry immediately routed them.
It's truly hard to imagine.
"Leaving aside the 10,000-strong mammoth cavalry, the other cavalry units were also quite valiant."
"Each knight possesses immense strength, especially the leader, whose power is terrifying; with a single palm strike, a giant dragon can be unleashed."
"One palm strike, one dragon; at least a hundred will die or be injured."
As this person spoke, everyone present fell silent once again.
Just as these leaders were discussing the matter...
Suddenly, someone came to report from outside the tent.
"Your Majesties, an envoy from the Shang Army has come to request an audience."
The leaders were immediately taken aback. What was the Emperor of the Great Shang doing sending an envoy at this time?
A conflict just occurred during the day, and now they're sending an envoy? Are they here to die?
Soon, a robust middle-aged man entered, led in by a servant.
This man was burly and had a dull appearance; he didn't seem to have anything particularly outstanding about him.
But everyone present was taken aback.
This guy is no good.
He was one of the leaders of the cavalry unit from the daytime.
This guy rode a tall horse at the very front, carrying no weapon, yet he killed the most people.
One palm strike, one dragon; one dragon, a hundred lives.
Upon seeing this person arrive, the leaders present all gasped in shock.
They all immediately revealed unfriendly expressions.
"What did the emperor of the Great Shang send you here for? Was he sending you to your death?"
The robust middle-aged man remained unfazed.
This person was none other than Wang Yong, who had mastered the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms.
Wang Yong's face revealed an arrogant expression. His gaze swept over everyone, and finally he took out a piece of paper.
"This is what His Human Emperor instructed me to deliver to you kings."
"Please, Your Majesties, take a look."
At this moment, a leader sitting next to him got up and took it, only to see several large characters written on it in gray and red.
"Border tribes, do you dare to fight tomorrow?"
Upon seeing these large characters, everyone present was taken aback.
This is actually a challenge?
They were clearly the aggressors, yet the wounded emperor sent them a declaration of war—wasn't that a humiliation for them?
Did that damned, incompetent ruler really think the Yin Shang was invincible?
The faces of the leaders present were all extremely grim.
Especially the Eastern Evil King, who was looking at Wang Yong standing still.
A cold smile flickered in his eyes.
"You lackey, go back and tell that tyrant that tomorrow my Eastern Yi Clan will personally lead a large army to fight you to the death."
"Tell your emperor to wash his neck clean and wait for me to kill him."
This boundless anger had brought them to the brink of collapse; they had never been so scorned before.
Wang Yong received a reply and grinned broadly.
The two enormous hands clasped together in a gesture of respect.
"In that case, let's meet on the battlefield tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned around and left the main hall, transforming into a streak of light and flying away.
He had already cultivated to the Heavenly Immortal realm, possessing extremely formidable combat power. Flying, a simple skill, was naturally not difficult for him.
Seeing this, the faces of many Eastern Yi Clan turned even uglier.
