The Qixi Protectorate army had acted very improperly in the battle. Even though they were supposed to defend Qixi, they had not carried out their duty. When they should have attacked, they hadn’t, and when the battle was over, they had swooped in to take the credit. This was not how a true soldier should have acted.
Now that the actual person had appeared, they naturally felt ashad.
The mont Wang Chong appeared, ti seed to stop, everything going still. All eyes focused on Wang Chong, and even that divine and despotic figure in the center suddenly stopped, one hand gripping his saber, his eyes shining with bright light as he stood unmoving.
That severe and tyrannical gaze coldly and emotionlessly stared at Wang Chong.
"Wang Chong, you have done well in assisting the Qixi Protectorate army in attacking Ü-Tsang. I will definitely report your achievents to the Imperial Court!"
Fung Lingcha got ahead of Wang Chong, imdiately speaking in a bold and righteous tone. If soone had arrived at this mont, this attitude would have convinced them that it was Fung Lingcha and his Qixi army that had fought a fierce battle with the Tibetans, not Wang Chong and the Wushang Cavalry.
"For Lord Protector-General’s enormous achievents, Wang Chong might send Milord a gift as well. A few days ago, Wang Chong was gifted a divine turtle from the Western Regions. Wang Chong will gift it to Milord."
Wang Chong looked down from the White-hoofed Shadow, his eyes full of derision.
"Impudent!"
Wang Chong’s words imdiately triggered a storm of rebuke. Turtles could stretch out and retract into their shells, and Wang Chong was clearly accusing Fung Lingcha and the Qixi Protectorate army of acting like a turtle, only reaching out of their shells when the danger had passed.
Fung Lingcha said nothing, but his eyes were spitting fla. Wang Chong was of far lower status, and for him to so coldly ridicule him like this was impudent to the extre.
"Wang Chong..."
Fung Lingcha’s expression chilled, but just as he began to speak, his eyes suddenly flitted past Wang Chong and onto the two figures walking up from behind him. His pupils constricted as if he had been poked, and all his anger dissipated, replaced by an indescribable sense of danger that started at his feet and spread to his entire body.
Fung Lingcha’s entire body went tight, and he felt like there was a knife at his back.
It’s them!
Fung Lingcha imdiately recognized this pair. When Dusong Mangpoje entered the steel fortress, Fung Lingcha had sensed the sudden ergence of two powerful and terrifying auras. Even from such a long distance, he had been able to tell how dangerous and frightening they were.
It was precisely because he had sensed them that Fung Lingcha realized that the situation had changed and imdiately ordered his Qixi Protectorate army to enter the battle.
I didn’t think that this brat would have such formidable figures at his side. Just how many more secrets does he have?
A deep apprehension appeared in Fung Lingcha’s eyes as those two figures ambled over.
Hmph, there’s always a higher mountain, Wang Chong inwardly sneered. This fellow Fung Lingcha sees a gap and tries to stick in a needle. He only knows how to bully the weak. It seems like there are tis where I have to show off a little power.
His perceptive gaze had instantly noticed the changes in Fung Lingcha’s complexion. It had truly been the wise course of action to invite his master and the Wushang Village Chief for this operation, as it now seed like Fung Lingcha was finally acting a bit more cautious.
"Wang Chong, what is the aning of this! Do you really think that you can act impudently in front of after inviting a few formidable individuals over? Let tell you, in Qixi, only Fung Lingcha’s words matter! Wang Chong, do you dare rebel in front of ?" Fung Lingcha icily said.
"Twenty years ago, if a puny foreigner dared to speak like this in front of , I would have killed them with a single blow of my saber!"
The Demonic Emperor Old Man’s icy voice ca from behind Wang Chong. His gaze was filled with contempt, his manner threatening. Even when facing a Great General like Fung Lingcha, he made no effort to hide his power.
The Demonic Emperor Old Man was a supre figure of the martial arts world who had stirred countless storms of blood and killed countless supre experts. Many people trembled in fear at the slightest ntion of his na. A Saint Martial realm Fung Lingcha was nothing in his eyes.
"Impudent!"
Fung Lingcha was fuming, and even at his most patient, he would have never accepted such words.
"Disciple! Do you need to kill him? Just nod, and Martial Uncle Fang and I will go and kill him right now! That Dusong Mangpoje was able to run rather fast and we weren’t able to kill him, but this foreigner is nothing at all! I can kill him with a snap of my fingers."
The Demonic Emperor Old Man spoke, his eyes as sharp as swords as they settled on Fung Lingcha’s neck, his killing intent exposed for everyone to see. In his eyes, Fung Lingcha was not so Imperial Great General who could awe the world, not the mighty Qixi Protector-General, but a chicken or duck.
Next to him, the Wushang Village Chief didn’t nod, but he didn’t shake his head either.
He had seen the efforts Wang Chong had made to deal with Ü-Tsang, and he had also seen that while Fung Lingcha and the Qixi Protectorate army had not appeared when they were needed, they did appear after the battle to take the credit. It was truly too shaless.
"Bastard! I can’t believe my ears!"
Fung Lingcha’s face was red and his body was trembling. For the mighty Qixi Protector-General, an Imperial Great General, to be so publicly humiliated in front of his soldiers was a blatant disregard for his status.
Fung Lingcha’s eyes were awash with killing intent, and his fingers instantly began to tighten their grip on his saber.
But then a gaze even colder than Fung Lingcha’s locked onto him, and he instantly suppressed his anger in fear.
Fung Lingcha had fought against Dusong Mangpoje more than once, and he knew that their strengths were on a similar level. If even Dusong Mangpoje had to flee this pair like he had encountered so vile god, then Fung Lingcha was well aware that he was no match for them.
"Wang Chong, are you planning to attack ?"
Fung Lingcha pushed down his anger and looked up at the mounted Wang Chong.
"Haha, Lord Protector-General, where did this idea co from? This was just a joke. If Lord Protector-General wishes to take credit for this matter, I have nothing to say. But there is one word of advice that I have for Lord Protector-General. So things are too hot to handle. Lord Protector-General should think carefully before grabbing them!"
With these words, Wang Chong turned his horse around, riding back to the distant steel fortress.
"Master! Let’s go!"
After exchanging a few words with Fung Lingcha, the party quickly left.
It’s still not ti to move against him! Wang Chong told himself.He still has his status as Qixi Protector-General, after all. However, I really have to think of a way to get him away from Qixi!
......
The battle was quickly brought to an end, with the Tibetans utterly crushed. All of them had fled like ants in every direction, presenting sowhat of a challenge for the pursuers.
Wang Chong didn’t have many soldiers in the first place, and further scattering them would be extrely dangerous if another army appeared.
"Pass on my order! All soldiers, retreat! Cease the pursuit!"
Wang Chong quickly gave the order, and the Wushang Cavalry quickly gathered together.
But the Qixi Protectorate army remained mobilized.
"Lord Marquis, this is absurd! The people of the Qixi Protectorate have no sha! We fought with our lives on the line, and they just sat back and took the credit for free!"
"That’s right! The Qixi Protectorate army’s camps were just nearby, and yet they refused to co out. Just this alone is enough for Lord Marquis to rebuke them."
"It’s too excessive! Are they treating us like we don’t exist?"
Behind the steel walls, the soldiers had gathered together and were currently aiming angry looks at the distant Qixi Protectorate army.
The Qixi Protectorate soldiers had acted like they didn’t exist, boldly and confidently snatching the credit for themselves. So of the Qixi soldiers had even run their horses in front to block their path, even going so far as to intentionally ram the horses into each other. Their thods were truly lowly and despicable.
Dogs could bite humans, but humans couldn’t bite dogs. The several thousand Wushang Cavalry could hack away as they pleased at the Tibetans without blinking an eye, but they could do nothing against other Great Tang soldiers.
"Haha, it’s just a minor itch. Don’t worry about it; let them take it! Fung Lingcha might treat this as so incredible feat, but for us, this is only a minor accomplishnt made to set the foundation. In comparison to our feats in the future, this battle isn’t even worth ntioning." Wang Chong waved his hand unconcernedly. "Besides, it’s not as easy as Fung Lingcha thinks to steal credit!"
"Reporting! Lord Marquis, the soldiers of the Qixi Protectorate army are pushing their way into the fortress."
A scout suddenly rode in, leaving a trail of dust behind him as he rushed to the gathered officers.
Buzz!
These words instantly grabbed everyone’s attention.
"Lord Marquis, the fortress only has craftsn and no Tibetans. What are they up to?"
"These bastards, are they after our steel fortress? We built it and they steal it? That’s simply too shaless!"
"They would dare!"
Cheng Sanyuan, Su Shixuan, Xu Keyi, and the other officers looked to Wang Chong. With the Tibetans retreating, the fortress on the triangular gap now had incredible strategic significance.
Given Fung Lingcha’s conduct, if one allowed him to take an inch by allowing him to rush in at the end of the battle to claim the credit for himself, then he would take a foot and snatch that steel fortress that they had paid such an enormous price to build.
"Lord Marquis, would they really do this?" Xu Keyi worriedly asked Wang Chong.
"Certainly not!"
Wang Chong was rather calm, imdiately casting aside the worries of his officers.
"Fung Lingcha definitely thought about taking this fortress. After all, this fort could be a base for the Qixi Protectorate army and make their operations much easier. However, the most he would ever do is think about it. He would never actually realize his thoughts. A mighty Great General could never be so senile."
"Ah?!"
The officers glanced at each other, stunned by this judgnt.
