Chapter Thirty-Eight: Provocation
In the Holy Continent, no troops are allowed without a title, and violators are beheaded all over the house. The number of troops is linked to the rank of the knighthood.
Among them, the number of troops of the marquis were: 1,000 third-class marquis, 2,000 second-class marquises, and 3,000 first-class marquises;
The number of troops of the duke was 5,000 for the 3rd duke, 7,000 for the 2nd duke, and 9,000 for the 1st duke.
Of course, the real strength of the prince is not absolutely proportional to the number of troops, but mainly depends on the cultivation of the warriors and soldiers in the force. There will be a very big difference in the strength of the same title between each other, just like the martial artists of the same realm are also superior.
The Yan family is a first-class duke with 9,000 troops. They are all six-legged war horse heavy cavalry, and most of the soldiers are high-level Qingtian Realm martial artists, and several adjutants are even mid-level Star Refining Realm martial artists. It has the power to dominate Dragonbird City.
Among these 9,000 soldiers, some of them are stationed in Longque Ridge all year round, and their daily work is to kill the brute beasts in the mountains, and then transport the various resources they have captured back to Yanfu. It is precisely because of this logistical support that the Yan family has a resource reserve that is difficult for ordinary forces to reach, at least within the scope of Dragon Bird City.
"Rongbo, I have a question. "Long Hao Heavenly Dao.
"Oh, what's the question?"
"As you said, the Yan family has 9,000 soldiers, and there are even soldiers stationed in Longque Ridge all year round to ensure logistics resources. It stands to reason that the Yan family has a completely dominant advantage over the surrounding forces. Then why don't you strangle these so-called eight families in the cradle, but let them develop and grow?"
"Alas!" Rong Hua sighed, "Do you think that Lord Guogong is unwilling? The reason why he hasn't attacked them yet is mainly because the Yan family has been in short supply of talents in recent years. The only ones who can really lead troops to fight are the third and fourth sons.
"In addition, those forces are far away, and the terrain is extremely dangerous. Moreover, in their family, there are also powerhouses of the Flame Heaven Realm. If you want to eat it hard, I'm afraid you will really have to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself! And you don't know the situation in Dragon Bird City, but the Cheng family has been eyeing us all day long, so Lord Guogong didn't go to them for trouble in the first place. Unexpectedly, they rose rapidly!
"Haotian, don't you know that the recession of the children and grandchildren of the younger generations has seriously affected the judgment of the Guogong, and many things seem indecisive. If there are a few more people like the third and fourth sons in the family, let alone the seventh son, how can there be eight families now!"
Rong Bo couldn't help but fall into deep thought as he spoke, as if he was very worried about the future of the Yan family.
Long Haotian didn't bother him when he saw this, he didn't have too much affection for the Yan family, so Ronghua's worries didn't infect him. At this moment, he spread out his spiritual power and observed every move of the two sides of the duel in the center of the final battle.
"Beautiful!"
There was another tsunami-like cheer, and the center of the decisive table once again decided the winner. Just look at a strong man covered in blood being carried off the field, his face is like ashes, and he is afraid that his life will not be guaranteed. The victor raised his arms and roared to the sky, receiving the applause of the crowd.
I heard thousands of people in the audience shouting in unison: "Mad dog, mad dog, mad dog!"
"Mad dog?" Long Haotian was stunned.
"Mad Dog is this man's nickname!" said someone behind him.
"Ah, Brother Linyuan!" Rong Hua raised his head, "Why are you here?"
"Lao Rong, I heard that the guy said that you are here, so I will come and have a look. The person who spoke was none other than Zhao Linyuan, the owner of the Holy Star Tower in Dragon Bird City, and he looked at him holding Rong Bo's hand and smiled, "This one, isn't this the eighth prince of Lord Guogong?"
"That's right!"
"Sure enough, there is the wind of a father!" Zhao Linyuan admired.
At this moment, a head poked out of a room not far away, and said loudly to Zhao Linyuan: "Brother Zhao, who are you talking to?
"This ......" Zhao Linyuan hesitated slightly.
"Hey!" the man seemed to recognize something, and hurriedly added, "Brother Zhao, that red-haired one, could it be someone from the Yan family?
There was endless arrogance and provocation in this man's words. Zhao Linyuan was obviously a little embarrassed, but Ronghua relieved him: "Brother Linyuan, since this friend is so enthusiastic, you can introduce us to him!"
"Okay!" Zhao Linyuan nodded and brought the two into the room.
It's a spacious, luxurious suite that's filled with people. As soon as he took a step, Long Haotian immediately felt more than a dozen pairs of eyes casting a sharp gaze at him and Rong Bo, and the atmosphere in the entire suite was extremely solemn.
"Brother Xiong," Zhao Linyuan introduced, "This is my friend, Brother Ronghua, he is an old housekeeper of the Yan family, as for this is the eighth son of the Yan family, Yan Hao!"
"Oh, Yan!" the voice said.
As soon as the words ended, the tense atmosphere in the room rose again, almost making people feel a little suffocated. Needless to say, they can guess that these people must all belong to the Eight Great Families, and they are also very hostile to the Yan family.
"Since you're here, let's sit down!" is still the person just now, this person's name is Xiong Feng, and he is the head of the Flying Bear Fort Bear family. Just look at him with a disdainful tone of greeting Long Haotian and Rong Bo, as if he was greeting two subordinates.
"Wait!" another voice said, "This place is for the strong, but it is not something that can be sat on by virtue of your son-in-law's identity!"
"Brother Chi," Zhao Linyuan's face sank like water, "I advise you to speak respectfully." After all, this is Dragon Bird City, not your Chiyan Villa! The eighth prince is a distinguished guest of my Zhao someone, and I don't allow you to be disrespectful to him!"
"Heh! Lord Zhao Lou is really inclined to the flames, this is not like the consistent style of your Holy Star Tower! Isn't your Holy Star Building always ignorant of even the Emperor Lao Tzu?"
Indeed, according to the status of the Holy Star Tower, there is no need to bow to any of the princes. However, in the vast majority of the time, they will choose to cooperate with the big forces in various places to achieve a win-win situation. In Dragon Bird City, the Holy Star Tower and the Yan family have always had close contacts, so Zhao Linyuan is towards the Yan family after all.
"Presumptuous!" Zhao Linyuan scolded, don't look at the gentle appearance just now, and suddenly a terrifying fighting spirit erupted from his body. He was actually a sixth-level powerhouse in the Flame Heaven Realm, and his strength was definitely not to be underestimated.
"Lord Zhao Lou is angry," Long Haotian smiled, and then turned at the man, "What do you call this one?"
"I am Chi Xingwen, the owner of the South Chiyan Mountain Villa of Dragon Bird City!"
"It turned out to be the owner of the Red Village, disrespectful! I-"
Before Long Haotian finished speaking, he heard a young man next to Chi Xingwen cheering: "Dad! That mad dog has won again, and he has won ten games in a row! This guy is really a rare talent!"
"Okay! what a mad dog!" Chi Xingwen glanced at the middle of the field, and then pointed at the mad dog and pointed at Long Hao Tiandao, "Eighth Prince, do you see? This is the strong man who has won ten games in a row, and only he is qualified to sit here!"
"Ten wins in a row?" Long Haotian smiled, "Is it difficult?"
The new book is 100,000 words, and there will be more 100,000 words.
