Chapter 204: Chaotic Internal Strife
The night was dim, but not dark. Today, the banquet was over, but it will continue tomorrow.
In Heavenly Dragon Village’s Council Hall, the big shots were gathered, sitting on two sides. Wu Batian alone was sitting upright on the platform, guarded by Yuwen Chengdu and Pan Feng. Steady as a Dog, Fan Chou and the three foolish lackeys were on the sidelines, while maids respectfully served tea.
Wu Batian said: “Everyone here is not a fool, I mean, you all should understand it.”
Someone yelled: “We understand, but…”
Wu Batian’s eyes shone with pallid light as he asked: “Oh, Village Chief Yu, dare I ask, but what?”
The name of the person who yelled before was ‘I Won’t Die Young’ (Yu Wushang). He was also a lord of a village force in this West Flower Region. Although his power was no match for Twin Dragons Village and Heavenly Dragon Village, he was also a powerhouse with some reputation. His village had also reached the standard of level 4.
I Won’t Die Young had even subdued a B grade historical NPC, Wei Xu, who was his biggest trump card. However, speaking about it, in history, Wei Xu was a general under Lu Bu. He was known as one of the eight masters under Lu Bu. However, he also was the key person, who betrayed Lu Bu and surrendered to Cao Cao in the end.
I Won’t Die Young took a sip of tea, and that mighty figure standing behind him was Wei Xu.
I Won’t Die Young said: “It’s also not a big deal. Heavenly Dragon Village is a big force. When we join hands to deal with Twin Dragons Village, we naturally want Alliance Leader Heroic Overlord to take the lead. However, this force is also not the force of Heavenly Dragon Village alone. I just want to ask and make it clear, after this is achieved, how to divide the profit?”
Wu Batian sneered and asked: “Remaining gentlemen, are you all also worried about this?”
The atmosphere suddenly became cold and no one said anything for a long time.
At that time, a figure stood up. He was a man with some bearing, named ‘Capable Monarch’. He then said: “Alliance Leader Heroic Overlord, men die for wealth as birds for food. Numerous brothers with prestige in West Flower Region have gathered here to discuss an important matter. This is also enough to give you a face. Merely, if you want us to exert ourselves for nothing, then that is not something a face of Alliance Leader Heroic Overlord can settle. I hope Alliance Leader Heroic Overlord can clearly see the situation.”
Wu Batian laughed heartily, clapped, stood up and said: “Correct, very good, very good. In this world, everyone should clearly see the situation. Everyone! I might as well make the situation clear now. Submit to me and prosper, or oppose me and perish, who agree, who oppose?”
Everyone present was shocked. Capable Monarch obviously hadn’t expected that Heroic Overlord Under Heaven would actually dare to be so arrogant and despotic. He looked around and saw that many people were angry, and that I Won’t Die Young was calmly sipping the tea with a leisurely smile.
Capable Monarch had a plan in his heart and said: “Heroic Overlord Under Heaven, since you take the road to your doom, don’t blame other people.”
He slammed on the table, jumped up in anger and shouted: “I oppose!”
“I also oppose it!”
“Me too!”
Instantly, the sounds of opposition erupted, almost drowning Heavenly Dragon Village’s Council Hall, which made Wu Batian very unhappy. On one side, Yuwen Chengdu was neither angry nor happy. Pan Feng was as dumb as a wooden chicken. Steady as a Dog was laughing cheerfully. And Fan Chou was staring with anger.
Everyone was noisy for a while.
Wu Batian laughed wildly and yelled: “Like I said before, submit to me and prosper, or oppose me and perish. Since you all oppose me, you all will die today. Kill!”
“Bang!”
A wave of soldiers rushed out from both sides of the Council Hall. They were knights holding sharp swords and wearing shining armor. They were all elites.
Capable Monarch sneered, would he dare to come here to negotiate without any preparation?
Outside the Council Hall, several hundred troops immediately put on a yellow scarf around their head. Their physique was burly and they looked ferocious. They immediately rushed in, and wherever they went, they swept away all obstacles. The elites of Heavenly Dragon Village were utterly routed, and numerous people that came to join the banquet got the time to take a breather, hiding behind these troops.
Capable Monarch said: “Everyone, don’t fear, this is the trump card of my village——Yellow Scarf Warrior.”
Yellow Scarf Warrior was a kind of fighter that learned special skills. After the baptism of the skills, the Yellow Scarf Warriors’ attack, defense and HP would be greatly strengthened. Their attack power could reach the level of an ordinary knight, and no need to mention the strong defense and HP of a fighter.
Under the same equipment, just a Yellow Scarf Warrior was enough to break the besiege of several ordinary knights.
However, Yellow Scarf Warriors were also not without shortcomings. The speed of these Yellow Scarf Warriors was even slower than ordinary fighters. Even the slowest strategists could run faster than Yellow Scarf Warriors. Therefore, in a spacious battlefield, Yellow Scarf Warriors could only be used as the vanguard to break the opponents’ frontline, but they couldn’t effectively prevent the cavalry from attacking, moreover, they also couldn’t play a good role in protecting the back row.
I Won’t Die Young was surprised upon seeing the appearance of Yellow Scarf Warriors, but he chose to not speak nonsense here when they share a common enemy.
I Won’t Die Young ordered: “Wei Xu, bring the head of Heroic Overlord Under Heaven!”
“Yes!”
Wei Xu’s figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
This was his skill. He was good at capturing the enemy leader during the chaos. It was a skill named –-Binding and Capturing Skill. This skill could be used on the target with any profession, and it could only be used once a day. Once this skill was successfully used, the target would be forcibly confined and get captured alive.
Merely, the success rate of this skill was different for the people of different professions. The success rate for the commander profession was the highest. After this skill reached level 10, the success rate was practically 100%. The success rate was lowest for the fighter profession. Even after reaching level 10, the success rate would still be low.
Wei Xu quickly arrived not far away from Heroic Overlord Under Heaven.
“Still not close enough!”
His skill also had a distance limitation. If the target was too far away, then the other party would be out of reach.
Yuwen Chengdu had a keen intuition. He swept through the chaotic crowd and discovered the trace of Wei Xu.
“What does he want to do?”
Yuwen Chengdu held a halberd and frowned, making Wei Xu feel a chill.
Pan Feng, who stood at one side, noticed the change in Yuwen Chengdu’s expression, and soo, he also saw Wei Xu’s sneaking figure. ‘Eat this General’s blade!’ Pan Feng rushed forward and swung his fiery blade with unstoppable momentum.
“Damn it!”
Since his trace was revealed, Wei Xu hastily retreated, but in a hurry, he forgot that a pair of steady eyes, that was not far away, had long been locked on to him.
“In front of me, no one can come and go as pleased.”
Steady as a Dog pulled out his sword. The sword glimmered with cold light and the sword blade trembled, creating a ‘hmmm’ sound. Soon afterward, he stepped forward and skillfully appeared behind Wei Xu and stabbed the back of Wei Xu. His speed was so fast that there was no time to dodge.
“A dog is a dog, still calling himself what stable as a dog? Ridiculous!”
On one side, there was a man wearing silver armor, and holding a silver sword. He also had a silver jade hanging on his waist. He pushed Stable as a Dog aside with a single swing and swung his sword three more times. The first one stabbed the back of the hand, the second one stabbed the sole of the foot and the third one stabbed the center of the forehead. Not a single one failed.
