“Not good, Khan! Doku, with ten thousand reinforcements, went to support the Zhuo Cheng Tribe, but he was ambushed on the way. Now, the entire army has been annihilated!”
Inside the Khan’s tent, a soldier rushed in, interrupting Ulko’s moment of leisure.
“What did you say?”
Ulko, who was enjoying fine wine, immediately threw down his cup and rose to question:
“How is it possible? Doku went with a whole ten thousand reinforcements, how could they all be wiped out?”
The soldier, with a face full of disbelief, confirmed the grim reality:
“Khan, it’s true. Not only was Doku’s entire force annihilated, but the ambushing troops are now heading toward our tribe!”
“I didn’t expect them to dare to come here themselves. Immediately gather all the soldiers. Whatever their numbers, we will kill as many as they bring!”
“Kill them all!”
Before Ulko could finish speaking, the sounds of battle and shouting from outside filled the tent.
Ulko furrowed his brow and asked, “What’s going on?”
The soldier hurried outside to check. The sight that greeted him was shocking.
“Khan, the Chu soldiers are attacking our tribe!”
Ulko was enraged, his face turning red with fury. He grabbed his special Khan’s blade and stormed out, shouting:
“Chu soldiers, how dare you be so bold! Wu Lie Tribe, kill them all!”
Unexpectedly, before Ulko could finish his command, a general clad in silver armor and holding a Dragon Spear appeared behind him, pressing the spear tip against his waist.
The general coldly said:
“Ulko, if you don’t lay down your weapons immediately, we will raze the entire Wu Lie Tribe to the ground!”
The man was Zhao Yun, who had been waiting for Ulko to appear.
The Dragon Spear was now less than half an inch from Ulko’s vital spots, capable of ending his life with the slightest movement.
Ulko felt the threat of death and, swallowing hard, managed to steady himself and said slowly:
“Brother, the grassland is so vast. Why must you hold a grudge against us alone?”
“If you have any demands, the Wu Lie Tribe will never refuse, but such methods are truly despicable to us grasslanders.”
Not far away, Yao Guangxiao approached with a smile:
“I wonder what is despicable. Is it that the Wu Lie Tribe’s strength is insufficient to withstand our assault, or is it that you, Khan Ulko, refuse to be captured by us?”
Yao Guangxiao, dressed in black, walked with a certain sinister aura, befitting his title of Demon Monk.
Many Yunzhou soldiers also gathered around.
The situation was so sudden that many Wu Lie Tribe soldiers hadn’t yet reacted. The Yunzhou soldiers had completely surrounded their Khan, and the remaining Wu Lie soldiers did not dare to make a move.
Seeing the increasing number of people around him, Ulko’s emotions turned calm. He said:
“Your ambush was indeed unexpected, but if we were to face off on the grassland, you Chu soldiers would not be a match for our Wu Lie Tribe soldiers.”
Ulko paused and then raised his head:
“You may do as you wish, whether to kill or mutilate, come on, I, Ulko, am not someone who fears death!”
Many Wu Lie Tribe members, moved to tears, shouted:
“Khan must not die!”
“Khan, you still need to lead us to fight Chu Country.”
“Khan, let’s fight them!”
……
Ulko looked at them, their faces full of anger, with some already subdued by Yunzhou soldiers but still yearning to fight back.
Ulko said:
“See, our grassland warriors never fear battle. We will not be intimidated by your few words or by being held captive.”
Yao Guangxiao took out a long knife and drew a map on the ground.
Ulko looked closely and saw the positions of the Wu Lie Tribe, Zhuo Cheng Tribe, and Tu Man Tribe.
He furrowed his brow and asked, “What do you mean by this?”
Yao Guangxiao calmly replied:
“My team consists of only seven thousand men, but we wiped out Doku’s ten thousand troops on the way.”
“And our casualties were fewer than twenty. If we fought you head-on, I believe your remaining Wu Lie Tribe would fare no better.”
Ulko frowned deeply, examining the Yunzhou soldiers around him. They appeared full of spirit and energy, showing no signs of having just fought a battle.
However, the light scratches on their armor betrayed their recent combat experience.
Yao Guangxiao continued:
“Doku’s counterattack did not pose any threat to us. If you persist in your delusions, I believe my seven thousand Xuan Armor Troops are enough to annihilate your Wu Lie Tribe. Do you want to test that?”
Ulko found it hard to believe Yao Guangxiao’s words, but the situation left him no choice but to accept the truth.
The news of Doku’s ten thousand troops being wiped out had already made him suspicious.
Now, faced with such a heavily armored force, he felt Yao Guangxiao’s words were indeed true.
Yao Guangxiao then added:
“However, Khan Ulko, there is no need to be anxious. We are not here to destroy your Wu Lie Tribe but to take you with us to the heart of the grasslands for further conquest.”
“Conquest of the grasslands?”
Ulko’s brow furrowed, and he became wary, asking:
“Have you Chu people set your sights on the grasslands as well?”
Realizing this possibility, Ulko’s expression darkened:
“That is impossible. The men of our grasslands will never be humiliated by you Chu people.”
At this point, Zhao Yun’s Dragon Spear pressed even closer, making Ulko’s life hang by a thread.
Yao Guangxiao smiled faintly:
“You are mistaken. We are not fighting for Chu Country, but for our prince, the Seventh Prince Ye Chen of Chu.”
“You must know that the Tu Man Tribe’s ten thousand troops were wiped out in Yunzhou. That was done by Prince Ye Chen with only five thousand Yunzhou troops.”
“What?”
Ulko’s face showed disbelief. He never expected that the ten thousand troops, who had been annihilated, were completely defeated by a prince with just five thousand men!
Yao Guangxiao continued:
“Moreover, the prince’s five thousand troops suffered little loss, as he himself took the enemy leaders’ heads.”
“Prince Ye Chen had the heads of Aye Lin, Aye Sa, and Batu’er tied to his waist, causing the Tu Man soldiers’ morale to collapse.”
As Yao Guangxiao spoke, all the Yunzhou soldiers displayed proud expressions, as if fighting for Ye Chen was an honor.
Ulko’s brow tightened as he pondered over this information.
