At this moment, the closest areas to the outside were filled with various sizes of barbecue grills, on which the roasting meat sizzled with oil, emitting a fragrant aroma that permeated the air, resembling a 'feast for the army' on the city wall.
Li Mo held a skewer, squinting as he surveyed the black cloud pressing down on the city.
The vast horde of people and horses approached with a wild and brutal aura, suffocating all who perceived it.
To be honest, it was impossible for Li Shaoxia not to be nervous, as he had never experienced such a scene before, but the soldiers were all looking at him now; in their hearts, he was the beacon of victory...
He had to step up!
"Come, come, eat and drink." ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"Everyone, there's no need to worry. Those attacking the city are merely my defeated foes!"
Li Mo raised his skewer and took a bite.
The soldiers didn't understand what this was all about, but since Li Shaoxia was on the front line with them, sharing life and death, why should they hesitate?
"Damn it, a man dies facing the sky! With Li Shaoxia here, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Hahaha, even if we're wrapped in horsehide later, we can't go to meet the King of Hell on an empty stomach."
So, one by one, the soldiers, though feeling as if a great enemy was upon them, followed the pre-arranged plan and ate the barbecue without a trace of fear.
Wu Lang squinted at the army besieging the city and took a fierce bite of his skewer:
"I wonder how much time Li Shaoxia's plan can buy us."
Qu Sheng slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi:
"As much as we can, even if it's just a moment; half an hour is good, if not an hour."
"As long as the opponent isn't a hothead, anyone who thinks deeply will hesitate when they see this formation."
If he were attacking the city and saw the opponent's gates wide open, looking completely undefended, he would also be stunned for a while, then gather his generals to discuss and try to ascertain the reason for such an action.
This was not a strategy to retreat, but a delaying tactic.
He was also prepared for the opponent to see through it; the city gates could be closed at any time.
Greenwood City only appeared undefended; it was not truly undefended.
"I will try my best to prolong the effect of this plan."
At this moment, the Genius strategist Li Shaoxia slowly stood up.
All the generals looked over at the sound.
Qu Sheng inquired, "How will you prolong it?"
Li Mo picked up another skewer and revealed a profound smile:
"Actually, I am an actor."
"The winner of the first Golden Statue Award for Best Actor is none other than myself!"
"!"
Qu Sheng and the generals didn't know what kind of award this was; they had never even heard of it.
But Li Shaoxia was usually low-key, never even boasting about his nickname despite being on the Qianlong Ranking.
Now, however, he was introducing this Golden Statue Award with such solemnity.
Its prestige was evident!
It sounded very impressive.
At the same time.
Below the city.
"What smells so good?"
"Damn, barbecue? Don't they know we're coming to attack? They're openly eating!"
"Damn it, what are they grilling? Why does it smell so good?"
"Is there a possibility they want to starve us to death with envy?"
"The city gates are wide open, let's just charge in directly, and Greenwood City will be taken, won't it?!"
For a moment, the buzzing discussions were like rolling thunder, and sounds of suspicion and uncertainty arose among the enemy forces.
Especially around Han Zhen, those Wuling, Disaster Beasts possessing human bodies, roared and howled, unable to resist rushing into Greenwood City to feast.
"Silence! I haven't given the order yet."
Han Zhen's heavy voice drowned out the clamor.
The Wuling fell silent, suppressing their inner agitation and looking at him.
"Great Shang National Teacher, why don't you let us charge in at such a heaven-sent opportunity?"
"Hmph."
Han Zhen let out a cold snort.
The Hall Master of Hundred Beasts pondered for a moment and said:
"Greenwood City isn't deaf or blind; they must have already received military intelligence. Even if they haven't, as the city deepest into Nanguan (Southern Pass), it's impossible for them to be in this state."
"I have fought against Qu Sheng, the Great Commander of Greenwood. His military discipline is extremely strict, and he is a difficult opponent."
"He will definitely fight to the death. With the city gates wide open like this, could it be... an ambush?"
Hélián Wù's eyes also flickered as he spoke.
What they said was exactly what Han Zhen was thinking.
More than a hundred thousand troops, numerous Disaster Beasts besieging the city; once the city was breached, not a blade of grass would remain.
But they had traveled a long distance, and the Greenwood City they saw was not on high alert, nor were the defending soldiers trembling with fear...
They were just eating?
In this situation, you can still eat?
And it smells so good? It makes people's mouths water just looking at it?
Something is wrong.
Nine parts out of ten, something is wrong!
"So, what should we do next?"
Great Wind, possessing a human body, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and asked.
"We first..."
"Oi, old geezer!"
Before he could finish speaking, a voice filled with laughter came from the top of the city wall.
Han Zhen: "?"
The one who then stood on the city wall was none other than our first Golden Statue Award Best Actor!
Li Mo held a skewer in his hand, a calm expression on his face, even smiling as he looked down at the city below.
"Last time I let you live, yet you knew I was here and still dared to come and die."
"Do you dare to come out and fight me for three hundred rounds?"
"......"
Han Zhen's eyelid twitched.
This was another unexpected turn of events for him.
They say a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Li Mo must know that this army pressing on the city was there for him.
But not only did Li Mo not hide, he brazenly stood on the city wall?
And he was even holding a skewer, pointing and gesticulating?
"Come here!"
"Today, I will make a white blade enter and a green blade exit, I will stab your gallbladder!"
"And then again, a white blade enter and a yellow blade exit, I will stab your bowels!"
"!"
Hiss...
The three armies gasped, the barbecue smell even fading a bit, and their hearts grew more curious about what kind of sauce was on the barbecue to make it smell so good...
The Wuling, Incarnations of Disaster Beasts, even leaned back in a tactical retreat.
The Great Shang National Teacher.
The former Seventh Realm, a Controlling Mystery expert.
In his prime, even a monarch of a nation would treat him with respect, yet now he was being pointed at and insulted by that kid.
Even though Han Zhen had good self-control, his face was ashen, and although he cautiously didn't order an attack, he couldn't help but retort:
"You..."
"I don't want to hear your barking."
Li Mo brazenly turned his back.
???!!!
That kid provoked him, and then actually turned his back!
He cursed, and then wouldn't let anyone retort?
Moreover, with two armies /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ facing each other, he just casually turned around, with his back to more than a hundred thousand troops, wasn't that treating them like a bunch of insignificant commoners, completely ignoring them!
Are they not human?
Are they really not human?
"Li Mo actually turned his back on us?"
The Hall Master of Hundred Beasts widened his eyes, even more bewildered by this display.
"Great Shang National Teacher, he... he's insulting you, Great Shang National Teacher?" Hélián Wù exclaimed.
Han Zhen's body was trembling slightly with anger at this moment.
If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but this person was his mortal enemy. It was because of Li Mo that he lost his Blood Phoenix Essence.
Could he tolerate this?
He actually could.
The more he was provoked, the more he felt something was amiss.
That day, Li Mo's strike didn't hit him but was a feint to shatter the Secret Realm. He knew then that this kid was definitely not a brainless fool.
So Han Zhen suppressed the anger in his heart and ordered, his voice resounding: fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"This brash young man is doing this on purpose, trying to provoke me into ordering an attack so I fall into his trap."
"There must be an ambush within this city."
"Scout first, and ascertain the truth!"
After speaking, Han Zhen looked to the side. There was a middle-aged man wrapped in black crow feathers, his pupils blood-red.
The crow-feathered middle-aged man nodded slightly, and piece by piece, the feathers on his body transformed into black ravens, flapping their wings, flying by the hundreds and thousands towards the city.
It wasn't just him.
Several types of avian Disaster Beasts unleashed their Bloodline abilities, scouting Greenwood City.
On the city wall.
Li Mo frowned.
The intensity of this scouting was greater than he had expected.
Indeed, a world like Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, possessing mysterious power, cannot be compared to his previous life...
