Chapter 498: World Border Journey (12)
I found out after searching!
Wang Yao's domineering words immediately caused an uproar among the hostile defenders on the city wall.
"Damn it! That's so arrogant! You're clearly looking down on us by saying that!"
"There are only six of them. How can they have the guts to say such things?!"
"It seems they don't know how powerful Lord Khan's arrows are!"
There was a lot of curses on the tower, and even Ling Jingsi and others who were on guard subconsciously glanced at Wang Yao. Although the man was indeed very handsome in the eyes of everyone, was he really not joking to challenge the garrison of an entire city?
Such behavior is like knocking on the door of the Great Wall as an enemy, and then making absurd demands that all the Great Wall troops raise their hands and leave the city in surrender! Such provocation is intolerable to anyone.
"Do you think you can come in and go out as you please with just one word from you?!" Genghis Khan's forehead was visibly bulging with blue veins. "I'll say it again, leave now, or don't blame me for being ruthless with my arrows!"
But what is strange is that Genghis Khan just drew his bow but did not shoot from beginning to end. He seemed to be full of momentum, but in fact he was just talking.
On the other side, Wang Yao, the opponent, remained calm. He glanced at the arrow one meter in front of him and said meaningfully, "It seems you have no choice."
At this moment, Genghis Khan, who seemed calm, began to sweat unconsciously on his hand holding the arrow feathers.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway; the soldiers' ranks are too low to understand the real situation. But Genghis Khan is different. He has just scanned Wang Yao's whereabouts through his skill 1 [Eagle Eye], and the result is shocking. A total of 8 heroes have come!
For a single, relatively fragile shooter hero, the enemy is fully capable of crushing him! So even though Genghis Khan's team has tens of thousands of people, the enemy has only 6 people. When the fight really starts, facing the arrival of up to 8 heroes, 1 soldiers are not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth!
This is also the reason why Genghis Khan did not fire the second arrow for a long time, and even the first arrow was only shot on the ground as a warning.
But is it time to hand over the city that we had finally taken control of after half a year of rule?
Genghis Khan didn't believe Wang Yao's nonsense about "helping the soldier find his relatives", but then again, if he really wanted him to surrender on the spot in such humiliation, that would be absolutely impossible! The dignity of a hero and the family emblem would not allow him to do so. The worst that could happen would be a fight to the death!
Just as Genghis Khan secretly made up his mind and aimed the arrow at the forehead of the heterochromatic man a hundred meters away again, preparing to shoot -
From a distance, Wang Yao suddenly spoke again: "Before shooting, I hope you will think carefully about whether you really intend to go to war with us. I have already said that I do not want to provoke a dispute. As a hero, you should also know that you have no chance of winning. In this case, in order to be fair, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it."
The muscles in Genghis Khan's arms relaxed slightly, and he subconsciously asked, "What suggestions?"
Wang Yao said, "Next, neither of our heroes will intervene in the battle. Let the soldiers fight fairly. I will only send out 5 people, and you can send out 50 people. Both sides will fight equally. If we lose, I will leave immediately and guarantee that I will not harm anyone! But if we win, you have to let us enter the city to search. How do you think that is?"
"Are you serious?!" Genghis Khan widened his eyes slightly, even suspecting that he had heard it wrong.
5 vs 50! A full tenfold difference! If the opponent was a hero unit, it would be easy to defeat them. Not to mention 50, even 500 or 5000 could be easily wiped out! However, the opponent only sent 5 soldiers to fight?
The unexpected development made Genghis Khan feel a little bit unreal, but at the same time, he also saw a glimmer of hope. Fearing that the other party would go back on their word, he immediately raised the stakes: "Okay! If our soldiers lose, not to mention coming in to search, I am willing to hand over the entire city!"
"Then it's a deal." The two sides reached a pre-war agreement.
Wang Yao turned around and glanced at the soldiers. Ling Jingsi's face was slightly pale, and the others were not much better.
Apparently, the hasty decision to let five of them deal with 50 enemies scared them a little.
"Calm down, there are only 50 enemies." Wang Yao stared at them calmly and said, "You all have resurrection armor, so you can't die. Go and apply all the tactics I taught you, and that will be enough to deal with those enemies."
For some reason, looking at Wang Yao's resolute gaze, the soldiers seemed to feel endless strength in their hearts! This man seemed to have always had this magical leadership talent. His words and actions could always easily inspire the fighting spirit of the surrounding soldiers.
"Yes!"
Ling Jingsi and the other five nodded vigorously, and then formed a 212 formation in tacit understanding and began to move forward. In front of them, as the city gate opened, 50 tall and strong enemy soldiers slowly walked out accompanied by the sound of swords and armor colliding.
All front-row melee soldiers.
They were all the best soldiers selected by Genghis Khan in the city, and they were extremely brave. At this moment, the enemy soldiers with evil smiles on their faces looked at Ling Jingsi and the other four, just like hungry wolves staring at a group of helpless lambs.
"Hey! Those two women at the back seem to be pretty good looking!"
"Brothers, kill those men, but don't kill the women!"
"Attack! Let them see how powerful we are!"
With excited shouts like wild beasts, 50 enemy soldiers charged forward at full speed, pouncing on Ling Jingsi and others who were waiting for the opportunity like wolves and tigers!
The battle lasted about 14 minutes and 20 seconds before it ended.
"Yeah drink!"
With a low roar of anger and interference from Zhang Ji's arrows, Ling Feng found the right opportunity and swiftly swung the Thunder Blade in his hand, easily cutting the neck of the last enemy at an extremely tricky angle, and blood splattered out in an instant.
The enemy soldier, who was a head taller than him, just stared with his eyes wide open, covered his neck unwillingly and retreated repeatedly, finally falling to the ground with a bang.
The enemy army was completely wiped out!
At this moment, the small battlefield was littered with corpses, but only this group of Great Wall soldiers, like an iron wall, remained standing!
On the city wall of Genghis Khan's side, the soldiers who witnessed the entire 5-on-50 battle were all pale and dumbfounded. The fierce battle just now really shocked them deeply!
In this world, normally there wouldn't be much difference in strength between soldiers. After all, they were all mortals. How could one be stronger than another? Only when heroes appeared could they form an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield. However, today they witnessed with their own eyes that only five soldiers showed extraordinary and terrifying combat capabilities. They were all just soldiers, but they could easily crush and destroy enemies that were several times their size!
Such a result is nothing short of horrifying.
Throughout the whole process, they were like an inseparable whole, advancing and retreating in a measured manner, cooperating well, and pushing their collective damage and defense to the extreme. Even though there were enemies who repeatedly tried to break their rhythm, they were eventually resolved one by one with their near-perfect coordination. It can be said that this battle has completely overturned the soldiers' previous understanding of battles of the same level!
As for Genghis Khan, the ruler, his face was livid at this moment, full of unwillingness and astonishment; he originally thought that victory was certain, but he could never have imagined that not only could his 50 soldiers fail to defeat a mere 5 people on the other side, but in the end they were even collectively killed!
This is simply a shame!
But despite this, after a brief moment of resentment, Genghis Khan reluctantly put down his longbow, because he knew that the situation was hopeless.
The enemy already has as many as 8 hero units, and now even the combat effectiveness of our own soldiers is far less than that of the enemy's soldiers. What's the point of fighting?
Afterwards, the city gates were opened, and Wang Yao led Ling Jingsi and others into the city. Along the way, several soldiers kept talking excitedly in low voices.
“It’s unbelievable that we actually did it!”
"Ha, so it's just like that!"
"I feel like we should be able to defeat a hundred of them now!"
Compared to Wang Yao's steadiness and maturity, the soldiers were still immersed in the joy of victory; after all, this was the most amazing feat they had ever accomplished in their military careers over the years, almost defeating 10 people per person and still remaining unscathed!
Such an impressive record inevitably made them feel a little proud.
In response, Wang Yao simply said, "The reason why you were able to defeat them was largely because you had equipment, so in a sense, your victory was unfair. Is this a record worthy of your pride?"
Looking at Wang Yao's indifferent yet somewhat stern eyes, Ling Jingsi and the others immediately lowered their heads in shame. After the battle just now, they were completely convinced of the man in front of them.
"After all, they are no different from you. Therefore, you should first learn how to respect your enemies and opponents. You should not be afraid of them just because they are strong, and you should not look down on them just because they are weak! Remember, arrogance and ignorance will only make you die faster."
After teaching a few soldiers a lesson, Wang Yao's tone softened a little: "Now, go to the city and find out if there is any news about your family. I will only give you two hours."
"Yes!"
The soldiers responded with full energy, and then went to the urban area to ask the original residents about their families.
As for Genghis Khan, the last descendant of the Canglang, who was defeated, he kept his promise and prepared to leave the city. It was not because this shooter who had been fighting alone for many years was very trustworthy, but because of the reality, that is, the existence of 8 hero units, he could not go back on his word.
But before leaving, he still went out of his way to find Wang Yao.
"Are you really just trying to find the families of those soldiers?" Until now, Genghis Khan still couldn't understand Wang Yao's behavior. "What's the point of doing this?"
"Isn't it meaningful in itself to reunite the separated people?" Wang Yao asked.
"But they are just ants, their lives are worthless. As a hero, shouldn't you be ambitious and fight for great achievements? Like me, I entered the desert to seize cities, win over lone heroes, and build my own great tribe! Isn't this what heroes like me should do? Why should we care about the lives of these lowly soldiers?"
"To me, they are no different from us. You said that over the past thousand years, many ambitious heroes and major forces have fought countless wars for land resources and power. In the end, they got everything they wanted after sacrificing countless soldiers' lives, but they would soon be eliminated in a new round of power struggles, and finally they would be defeated and killed, or surrender and surrender, until they lost everything. The Yangtze River rolls eastward, and the waves wash away all heroes. In the end, what is the meaning of everything you say and do now?"
Genghis Khan was speechless for a moment, and at the same time he began to realize that the man in front of him seemed completely different from other heroes he had met in the desert.
"Your soldiers are amazing. But I still don't quite understand why a hero like you can't just go down and fight. Wouldn't that help resolve the battle faster?"
"Of course, but that wouldn't be fair to the soldiers in the city."
Genghis Khan was stunned for a long while, then he began to admire him. "In fact, you don't need to make any bet with me before the battle. I know that many of your companions are still lurking outside the city. So I don't understand why you didn't come together when you clearly had the strength to completely crush us from the beginning? That way, your soldiers wouldn't have to take the risk of fighting against my 50 soldiers."
Wang Yao finally looked at Genghis Khan seriously and said, "That wouldn't be fair to you either."
Outside the city, the desert wind gently rose, like a god's hand gently brushing across this disaster-stricken land, but the seemingly gentle wind easily rolled up the dust and sand all over the sky.
At this moment, Genghis Khan felt goose bumps all over his body. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning, as if he had suddenly been enlightened, and as if he had suddenly witnessed a completely new world that was different from the past. The inexplicable excitement and excitement made him a little obsessed and intoxicated.
At this moment, the descendants of the Canglang seemed to see something in Wang Yao that had never appeared in this desert.
Was it equal treatment? Or fairness? Or some kind of firm belief in creating a new river in history? Genghis Khan could not describe it accurately, but he knew that it was something great.
Completely impressed by Wang Yao's courage, Genghis Khan bowed his head respectfully: "Sir, can you tell me your name? No matter where I go in the future, I will always remember your name."
"Wang Yao."
"The king with three horizontal lines and one vertical line, the Yao with power and majesty."
