Just as Tedun had drawn his handgun, his wrist was pierced directly by an iron nail shot by the opponent. For a mont, Tedun knelt on the ground, his body beginning to tremble violently.
"You... you... what have you done to ?"
Up until now, Tedun still didn't realize that it was Ding Fan who had shot an iron nail through his wrist.
"General Tedun, it's futile to provoke a wizard; you should quickly admit your mistake to the wizard," Wali said, frightened enough to kneel directly.
Wali also did not see the iron nail Ding Fan shot out. In his view, Ding Fan had simply waved his hand and pierced the opponent's wrist directly, which was simply the most formidable witchcraft in this world.
Thump thump... At this mont, footsteps ca from downstairs.
Boom... The door to the second-floor room was kicked open, and then four fully-ard guards rushed in. Soon after, these people pointed their guns at Ding Fan.
It must have been the scream of agony from Tedun just now that alard these guards.
"You lot, back off right now, do not be rude to the Great Sorcerer!" Wali hurriedly said to these guards.
"Don't listen to him," Tedun burst into rage. "Shoot and kill him for , kill him!"
Click click... For a mont, the guards pulled their gun bolts repeatedly.
Utterly obstinate!
A frown flickered across Ding Fan's brow. He had not taken Tedun's life earlier because he did not want to escalate the situation. But now it seed that until he showed Tedun a bit of his might, the other wouldn't be intimidated.
Imdiately, Ding Fan dispatched a Wind Blade which directly struck.
Before those four guards could react, the Wind Blade had already made its lethal cut.
In just an instant, blood and viscera were scattered across the floor, and even the steel guns in the hands of these four people were sliced neatly into two.
"How... how... how is this possible?"
At this mont, Tedun was directly stunned; he truly hadn't expected things to turn out the way they did now.
With just a wave of his hand, he had cut four fully-ard soldiers in half.
Originally, Tedun thought Wali was ridiculous for believing that wizards actually existed in this world, but in just a few minutes, he had beco firmly convinced that Ding Fan indeed possessed supernatural powers, and he was definitely a wizard...
"Shall we talk about the issue between us now?" Ding Fan said indifferently to Tedun beside him.
At that point, Tedun felt a chill surge throughout his body...
"rcy..."
Thump, Tedun directly knelt down.
Ding Fan did not pay attention to Tedun at this mont; he simply pulled over a chair and sat down, looking rather at ease.
It was as if Ding Fan was not in a foreign command center, but in his own ho.
"I will have my n withdraw now; I won't let my troops invade your territory anymore," Tedun said on his own, no longer waiting for Ding Fan to prompt him.
"Whose troops are you, and why did you co to Mali Island?" Ding Fan asked indifferently.
For years, Mali Island had been a paradise for drug lords. Due to its geographical location, although three countries had claid sovereignty over it, none had ever stationed troops there.
Now that troops had suddenly invaded, it had disrupted the balance here, and naturally, Ding Fan wanted to know the intentions of those who ca to Mali Island.
"Great Sorcerer, we are troops of Hauge from Myanmar. The civil war in Myanmar is becoming more intense, and we are short on funds. Recently, we heard that a vein of Gold Ore was discovered on Mali Island, so General Hauge sent us here to mine gold..." Tedun explained without any concealnt.
Gold...
With yearly civil wars in Myanmar, the financial consumption was trendous; without funds, the war really couldn't carry on.
"How many people did you bring?" Ding Fan asked.
At this mont, Tedun, wanting to save his own life, did not dare to hide anything; he truly feared that with a wave of his hand, he might be cut in half by Ding Fan directly.
"We brought a total of five warships to Mali Island this ti, plus a regint, over three thousand soldiers in total."
Over three thousand people...
Ding Fan rembered that after he took over Harry's territory, and after reorganizing the army, the total number was only about three to four hundred people at most. Myanmar was quite ruthless, dispatching more than three thousand people right off the bat.
"Great Sorcerer... This Tedun, when he ca to control Mali Island, did not say it was for your gold veins. If I had known, I would definitely not have cooperated with them," Wali hurriedly said from the side.
Ding Fan did not doubt that Wali was lying; the impact Ding Fan had on Wali last ti was quite significant, and he believed that Wali wouldn't dare to pull any tricks on him.
"Take your people and get lost, far away. If you invade us again, I guarantee you won't have a place to be buried," Ding Fan said indifferently to Tedun on the side.
"Yes, yes... I'll take my n and leave now, I'm leaving right now." Tedun got up from the ground and then ran out without turning his head, trotting all the way.
"Great Sorcerer, I will also arrange for my n to withdraw now," Wali said from the side.
"Wait..." Ding Fan called out to Wali at this mont.
Seeing that Ding Fan had called for him, Wali dared not move carelessly. "Great Sorcerer, do you have any other orders?"
"Your cooperation with the people of Myanmar has led to the invasion of quite so territory, hasn't it..." Ding Fan said this, his eyes indifferently watching Wali across from him.
Wali was no fool. In a place like Wali, swarming with dragons and snakes, if one did not have thods and high emotional intelligence, they would have been eliminated long ago. "Great Sorcerer, I will cede half of the territory I have invaded to your side..."
Having said that, Wali stood up, tore a map from the wall, gave it a quick glance, then took a pen and drew a line directly on it.
"Great Sorcerer, this side of the line is mine, and everything on the other side is yours..."
Ding Fan looked at the line Wali had drawn. If it ca to territorial division, he would probably end up with more than what Wali had taken.
However, Ding Fan didn't say much, he just nodded his head. "Alright, starting from tomorrow, I will arrange for soone to take over the administrative rights of these regions."
At this mont, Ding Fan was not representing himself. Many people had staked their lives on him, and he would certainly not make any foolish decisions based on subjective impressions.
What should be fought for, must be obtained as much as possible.
This was a law of survival, it's just that Huaxia Country had been peaceful for too long, and people's positions had long since changed. What was often talked about there, was more about emotional ties.
In fact, national interests were always paramount.
And now, it could also be said that Ding Fan was leading a small nation of his own...
After determining the boundaries, Wali left without another word.
Ding Fan put away the map in his hands and hurried back to his own territory.
After being scolded by Ding Fan, Tedun had indeed beco much more well-behaved, and his troops had all withdrawn orderly, while Wali also kept his word, and his army also pulled out in an orderly manner.
Ding Fan then went straight back to his own territory.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Ding Fan used the Invisibility Technique. If he were to be mistook and attacked by his own n, that would indeed be quite embarrassing...
At this mont, inside a wooden house.
Huang Can was intently studying a map.
"Deputy Commander, the enemy is a regular army. With the small number of people we have, I'm afraid we really can't hold out."
"Yes, the scout we sent out this morning said they seem to have armored vehicles, we simply cannot match the enemy."
Huang Can's expression beca solemn. "Whatever you all said before, I didn't care. But from now on, if anyone speaks of things that could shake the military's morale, I will punish them without rcy."
Huang Can's face darkened, and indeed, no one in the room complained any further.
Huang Can looked at the map, then said, "Gather all the n and take them to Lookout Cliff."
"Deputy Commander, this is the highest strategic point within our jurisdiction. Do you plan to make a stand here?"
Huang Can nodded. "If sothing happens on our side, I believe General Ding Fan will definitely know about it. He will surely co to our aid. As long as we reach Lookout Cliff, even if the enemy has an entire army, we can still hold out for a month or two..."
After hearing that Ding Fan would co to their rescue, everyone was relieved and did not doubt his words.
After Haji had just died and Wali was preparing to invade, wasn't it Ding Fan who, with his own strength, had blocked Wali's army?
"We don't need to go to Lookout Cliff." Just at this mont, a voice ca from outside the door.
Upon hearing this voice, Huang Can's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked over. The person who ca in from the outside, if not Ding Fan, then who else could it be?
"General!"
"General!"
Instantly, everyone in the command post saluted Ding Fan.
Huang Can had been an officer of Huaxia Country after all, and he had ample experience in leading troops. From what everyone could see, during the ti Ding Fan was away, Huang Can must have made the army very disciplined.
"General, you're finally back..." Huang Can's eyes couldn't help but redden a bit.
You must understand, they had been besieged for a week and couldn't hold on any longer. This was exactly why Huang Can thought about taking everyone to Lookout Cliff.
Huang Can had run out of options and was preparing to use the terrain of Lookout Cliff to hold out for a while longer.
"All of you, leave us. I need to speak with the General," said Huang Can to the people around him.
They were all sensible and exited one after another.
"General, you must have seen everything on your way back. We are surrounded by a battalion of regular troops, and also assisted by Wali's forces. Without a good plan, we will definitely be devoured by the enemy," said Huang Can after everyone had left.
The reason he had everyone leave was because Huang Can was worried that his words would shake the morale of the troops.
"What plans do you have?" Ding Fan did not directly say that the enemy had already retreated. Instead, he wanted to see what Huang Can had planned.
"My plan is to occupy the high ground, transport all resources to Lookout Cliff, and hold out defensively... If... if we truly have no external assistance or solution, then I am prepared to send soone to contact the warlords in Myanmar, inform them of the presence of Gold Ore veins here... and thereby hinder General Hauge's troops," Huang Can said.
Ding Fan nodded in approval.
Clear-headed with a firm grasp of the situation. This Huang Can was indeed a rare talent for military governance.
Logically speaking, with the small number of people they had, there was no way they could confront General Hauge's troops. According to Huang Can's idea, to muddy the waters could indeed give them a chance of survival...
