"Are the Yan people trying to cut us down to size?"
Displaying such a grand spectacle without actually engaging in battle is naturally for intimidation.
This kind of tactic is quite common in the desert. Sotis, when two tribes have conflicts, the stronger tribe often chooses to send their own warriors to form an army and parade around the opposing tribe. If the power gap is too wide, the opposing tribe will likely choose to back down.
Ke Yan Mu shook his head, quickly and quietly responding to his son:
"No, do you think this Southern Marquis of the Yan people is so idle with nothing better to do, just to co here and show off? You should know that he is on equal standing with that Lord North.
He's especially backing soone, backing that Lord at Snow Sea Pass. It's said that lord is his confidant, and it seems that's true.
As a master, he is actually willing to co out specifically to support his subordinate and stand up for them.
If we think about it this way, when we reach Snow Sea Pass and flatter that Yan Lord well, our tribe's days shouldn't be too difficult."
"Backing soone?" Brother Dong was montarily stunned. After all, he was still young and couldn't react to these matters as quickly as his father.
"Creak... creak..."
The gate of the military camp was opened.
"By the order of the Prince, summon the leader of the Keyan Division for an audience!"
A ssenger rode by on horseback.
Ke Yan Mu and the others stood up, lined up, and entered the military camp.
A marshal's flag stood in the center of the camp,
On the western side of the flag lay a dignified Pi Beast,
And beneath the flag,
Sitting on a marshal's chair was a majestic man clad in gilded armor.
The man originally had his eyes closed,
But when he opened his eyes and his gaze swept over,
Even the proud and ambitious young Ke Yan Dongge couldn't help but panic and fear.
This aura, this majesty,
His father,
Couldn't even compare to the opponent!
Ke Yan Dongge rembered seeing the Barbarian King before and thought that perhaps only the Barbarian King wouldn't be outmatched in aura by this Yan Southern Marquis.
Most importantly, Ke Yan Dongge was aware that the Yan Southern Marquis before him was not only unparalleled in leading troops into battle but also a true strong warrior!
Even without deploying a single soldier, if he wanted to kill him, it would be easy breezy.
Ke Yan Mu imdiately bowed:
"The humble Ke Yan Mu from the desert greets Prince Jingnan."
As he said this,
Ke Yan Mu knelt again in worship,
But this ti,
He used the five-body prostration thod.
No one among the Keyan Division nobles dared to grumble or show the slightest dissatisfaction,
They also followed suit,
Performing grand gestures of respect to Tian Wujing.
"Ke Yan Mu."
"The humble one is here, please instruct , Prince."
Tian Wujing stood up and slowly walked over.
Every step he took was like a heavy hamr striking everyone's chest, bringing an incredibly terrifying pressure.
And the sight of his white hair flowing outside the helt was enough to chill one's heart.
When the Keyan tribesn migrated, they had seen the wild n's cairns along the Wang River and the Chu people's mass graves beneath Jade Plate City,
These,
All were created by the man before them!
Finally,
When Tian Wujing walked up to Ke Yan Mu,
Sweat was already trickling down Ke Yan Mu's face, and his son Ke Yan Dongge beside him was even worse, unable to stop trembling.
Fear,
This was true fear,
The most primordial fear!
Just like how a flock of sheep on the desert fears a wild wolf,
In front of this man,
The desert warriors suddenly felt they were the truly weak and powerless lambs.
Tian Wujing stood with hands clasped behind his back, lowering his gaze slightly, looking at Ke Yan Dongge kneeling beside Ke Yan Mu, and said:
"Is this your son?"
"Pa!"
Being ntioned,
Ke Yan Dongge slumped directly to the ground, and when he tried to kneel back up, he fumbled awkwardly, resulting in a truly embarrassing scene.
However, none of the Keyan Division nobles around dared to laugh at him, as they themselves were trembling with fear.
The Yan Southern Army soldiers continued to stand tall with their weapons, exuding a genuine and sharp killing aura.
Only the Pixiu, lying there relaxed and yawning as if no one else was there.
It knows,
Here,
It isn't just the relentless aura from tens of thousands of battle-hardened Yan Southern Army,
Its master,
Has also deliberately released the terrifying aura of a Third Rank pinnacle martial artist,
Under the dual pressure,
How could these Barbarians possibly bear it?
The Pixiu stuck out its tongue and licked its lips, as the mount, it naturally is closest to its master.
Yet admittedly, right now it felt a bit jealous of the one at Snow Sea Pass.
"In response to the Prince, this is indeed my son, Ke Yan Dongge."
"Oh."
Tian Wujing nodded, continuing:
"My camp lacks so military officers; I've always heard that the Barbarian warriors are valiant and skilled in battle, and I've always envied that."
Upon hearing this, Ke Yan Mu,
While others hadn't yet reacted,
He directly replied:
"It's a blessing cultivated over three lifetis for Ke Yan Mu to follow the Prince, Ke Yan Mu and all the Keyan tribesn present are willing to beco the Prince's wings, to lay down our lives in service!
As for the Keyan Division, it should be fine with my son leading them to Snow Sea Pass. Although my son is young and lacks prestige in the tribe, he is rigorous in handling matters. Please rest assured, Prince!"
First, he supported the Lord at Snow Sea Pass,
Then asked about my son,
Then ntioned his own side lacked people,
Ke Yan Mu already understood the aning.
This was for him to stay here with the tribal nobles, leaving the tribe, while the tribe continues to Snow Sea Pass under his son's leadership.
In this way, the Lord at Snow Sea Pass would find it convenient and easy to annex and control the Keyan Division.
This is an overt forced annexation,
But you simply cannot say no,
You even have to take the initiative to cooperate with them to accomplish this sche!
Because,
You simply have no other choice!
Tian Wujing nodded in satisfaction,
And said:
"Good."
With this single "Good,"
All the Keyan Division nobles present heaved a long sigh of relief.
But since this Yan Southern Marquis didn't let them stand up, everyone still continued to kneel nervously.
"Ke Yan Dongge, lift your head; let take a look."
Ke Yan Dongge imdiately lifted his head,
But didn't know whether to show a fawning expression or a serious one,
In any case,
His expression was rigid, noticeably twitching due to excessive fear and tension.
This young leader of the Keyan Division was truly crushed in presence by the Yan Southern Marquis, rcilessly rubbed in the dirt repeatedly. Such a simple initial eting was enough to embed a lifelong shadow in his heart.
"Prince... Prince..."
"Tell the na of the Chief Commander of Snow Sea Pass."
"Zheng... Zheng... Zheng Fan."
"Heh."
Tian Wujing chuckled.
Ke Yan Mu imdiately turned to glare at his son.
Fortunately, at that mont, it was truly like a heart-to-heart connection between father and son, or maybe under the terrifying pressure, Ke Yan Dongge's mind started working much faster.
"Pa! Pa! Pa!"
Ke Yan Dongge slapped himself hard three tis,
Not holding back at all,
His nose started to bleed, and his mouth also cracked,
Yelling:
"The humble one was ignorant, dared to directly address Lord Pingye by na, the humble one deserves to die, the humble one deserves to die, ask the Prince for forgiveness, ask Lord Pingye for forgiveness!
The superior of the humble one... no,
No,
The master of my Keyan Division,
Is the Chief Commander of Snow Sea Pass, Lord Pingye!"
