"Shut up!"
Lena glared at Black Python.
"Are you crazy?"
Black Python walked towards Lena, roaring angrily, "How can a foreign woman like you insult our noble king? If you continue to be rude, I will not be polite to you."
"This is outrageous!"
"Presumptuous, too presumptuous!"
"Guards, guards!"
A group of King Sunset's trusted generals also stood up. While accusing Lena, they called for the guards, showing their loyalty and love for the king.
"A bunch of stupid pigs."
Lena was not afraid at all.
She was no longer a little wildcat but had completely transformed into a shrew, spitting and shouting, "Without the support of our allied nation, your Sunset Kingdom is a refugee camp, and you are all dog dung."
"Nonsense!"
The Grand Tutor Black Python continued to roar, "We are in an alliance, but we are not your puppets. Go back to your allied nation. You are not welcome here. Get out."
"Get out."
"Damn it, too arrogant."
"Drive her away."
The generals all supported the Grand Tutor's words.
"Your Majesty the King!"
Lena pointed at King Storm again and roared, "Don't you know that our allied nation is your strongest backing? Without us, your country will be reduced to ruins. You stupid pig, do you understand?"
"Go to hell!"
The king was finally enraged.
Of course, he knew that his country dared to provoke Dragon Country only with the backing of their allied nation. However, as the supreme ruler, he could not swallow the insult from a woman in front of his subordinates.
Slap!
The king slapped Lena.
"Guards, beat her."
The Grand Tutor directly issued the order.
More than a dozen guards rushed forward and pounced on Lena. The guards did not hold back. They rained down blows, causing the beautiful woman to cry out in pain.
"Damn it, damn it, ahhh!"
Lena shielded her head with her hands and cried out.
"Throw her out, throw her out."
The Grand Tutor angrily ordered the guards.
And so, the envoy from the allied nation, for insulting the king, was beaten by the Grand Tutor and thrown out of the royal palace. She would soon be expelled from Sun City.
In the king's office.
Storm smashed things for five or six minutes before gradually calming down. He sat on the sofa, cursing, and his mind became calmer, but he suddenly felt a little nervous.
"Will the allied nation abandon us?"
Storm knew he might have acted impulsively.
"No!"
Black Python, standing by, said calmly, "The allied nation has invested heavily in our country over the years and has established many military bases. They will never abandon us."
"How many people has Ye Zixiao brought?"
The king finally took Ye Zixiao seriously.
"Roughly estimated, there are three hundred thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand? So many!"
"Your Majesty, you really don't need to worry. Ye Zixiao is an expeditionary force, and not even regular troops. They won't have much heavy firepower, so they won't be able to break through our national gates."
"That's good, that's good!"
After hearing the Grand Tutor's confident words,
King Storm let out a sigh of relief.
All the generals looked at the Grand Tutor, because in such important matters of warfare, it was always the Grand Tutor who strategized. Even the attack on North Sea City was planned by the Grand Tutor.
Why did the Xiao family suffer a devastating defeat?
First, because the Dragon Country army was too fierce.
Second, because of Ye Zixiao's methods.
But there was one more crucial point: the Sunset Kingdom's army, under the Grand Tutor's command, never launched a proper offensive. Only the Xiao family attacked, while the Sunset Kingdom's army just watched.
Regarding this.
The Grand Tutor's explanation was.
It was to preserve strength!
Yes, now that Ye Zixiao had brought his troops, the King and generals of the Sunset Kingdom trusted the Grand Tutor's words even more. If the Grand Tutor hadn't preserved their strength, there would hardly be any city defense forces left.
"Your Majesty!"
Black Python looked at Storm and said solemnly, "Divide our forces into four parts and defend the four crucial passes. You must immediately order reinforcements from nearby cities, and also contact Wu Country."
"Will Wu Country send troops?"
"I think they will!"
"What if we can't hold them off?"
"The allied nation will intervene."
"Esteemed Grand Tutor, do you mean that we should not ask for the allied nation's help unless it's absolutely necessary? This way, it shows that we are not completely dependent on them?"
"You are truly a wise king."
The Grand Tutor flattered him with a lewd smile.
"Hahaha, I understand!"
The king, flattered, became more confident. Leaning back on the sofa, he said, "I think Ye Zixiao is just putting on a show. For a woman, would he really attack a city?"
"He won't!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, he won't."
"After all, attacking with three hundred thousand troops requires extremely high military expenditure. A mere woman is not worth him doing that, unless Ye Zixiao is a complete imbecile."
"Hahaha."
"Hahaha..."
The tense atmosphere was dispelled by the Grand Tutor's few words. The king and the generals thought more and more that Ye Zixiao was just bluffing, and they all believed he wouldn't attack.
In fact.
This idea was plausible.
The reputation of the Lone Wolf Legion was known throughout the world. Important figures from all countries knew that this private army was not to be trifled with. However, would a private army fighting for money fight a losing battle?
The answer was no!
Dragon Country would not easily attack Sun City.
Because negotiations were about to take place.
At such a crucial moment, would Ye Zixiao, the boss who had somehow taken charge, allow a private army to attack the city? Didn't he know that it would cost a fortune?
That night.
Sun City divided its forces into four routes.
Each of the four direction passes had approximately eighty thousand troops defending, with various anti-aircraft armaments in place. The soldiers were enthusiastic, shouting slogans like "If Ye Zixiao dares to come, we will crush him."
That night...
The Grand Tutor's prediction came true.
Ye Zixiao did not attack. He even divided his forces into four routes, blocking the four passes of Sun City. Although the east gate had the largest troop deployment, it was still only a little over a hundred thousand.
One hundred thousand attacking.
Eighty thousand defending.
In principle, it was possible to hold the city.
This way.
The soldiers of the Sunset Kingdom gained even more confidence.
The night passed without incident...
The next day, upon receiving the king's orders, over a dozen military bases in the Sunset Kingdom began marching towards Sun City, totaling about two hundred thousand ground troops.
Simultaneously, Wu Country, which bordered the Sunset Kingdom, ordered the Mountain Cat troops, over thirty thousand strong, to march to Sun City, under the guise of supporting their allies and vowing to eliminate Ye Zixiao.
This kind of news could not be hidden.
Ye Zixiao soon learned of it.
Inside the army's command center, Zheng Tianhong said with a serious expression, "We must quickly capture the East Gate before the enemy's reinforcements arrive. We are isolated troops and must not be encircled."
"Old Zheng, no need to rush."
Ye Zixiao suddenly spoke.
"Hmm?"
Zheng Tianhong was a bit confused?
The other officers were also bewildered?
Ye Zixiao, who usually did not participate in battles, suddenly said something like this? No matter how little he understood about warfare, he should know that speed is of the essence, especially with massive reinforcements on the way!
"We won't attack tonight, we'll attack tomorrow."
Ye Zixiao said with great confidence.
"Why?"
Zheng Tianhong asked very seriously.
"I don't care how we attack, but I want to give the enemy forces in Sun City a false impression, an impression that we are just showing off our strength and have no intention of attacking."
"Commander, I understand what you're saying. You mean to make them lower their guard, right? But you must know that once the enemy's reinforcements arrive in large numbers, we will be caught between enemies and unable to attack with peace of mind."
"The enemy reinforcements will not arrive."
"Why?"
All the officers asked simultaneously.
"They definitely won't arrive!"
Commander Ye raised his head proudly.
