The strong, 50,000 man army of the Golden Roc Fort, which was assembled at the very last minute, was not too different from the army of its eneether by the Dragon King It also had a convoluted background, with less than a quarter of its soldiers loyal and dependable, which coroup The other soldiers were from nations enslaved by the Golden Roc Fort Evenit very clear as to which side they were on

This arion and was to use the even weaker army of the five nations as practice Little did the Golden Roc Fort expect for the Dragon King and the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain to suddenly reapper froe

The battle of Xiaoyao lake was an extre the previous battles, the cavalry of Norland was undeniably the main force and the Golden Roc army had only followed behind it to occupy territory that had already been conquered There were not many opportunities for it to display the capabilities of its soldiers

Spouses look forqualities in each other while business partners should be on par in teruan Jianyi knew fully well the pros and cons of entering into an alliance with a large nation Not only did he have to defeat the Dragon King, he had to make it a decisive victory so as to earn even athered in the Stone Kingdo very well for the battle and even if the Golden Roc Fort prevailed, it would couan Jianyi decided to te the Dragon King in another type of warfare which gave the hi could never co first class killers

Shangguan Jianyi’s target was not to kill the Dragon King &8211; the cost was too high and probability of success too low &8211; but to spread panic in the Xiaoyao Lake region This would cause the already uncertain level of fighting spirit of the Dragon King’s are divisions were created

When the ar swordsmen from the Great Snow Mountain, it would never be able to hope to withstand the unstoppable force that was the heavy cavalry of the Golden Roc Fort At that tiuan Jianyi decided to use fire attacks or setting traps for his enemy

Gu Shenwei put himself in the shoes of his ene re You are everything to the Great Snow Mountain If the Supre is killed, he will simply be replaced by another one But if you are killed, there will never be a second Dragon King again&8221;

"You don’t have the ability to protect everyone and Shangguan Jianyi doesn’t have the capability to execute a perfect operation The panic caused by killing even a thousand common soldiers will dissipate after the ene; he was only considering the final results

Gu Shenwei had struck up a deep interest in his opponent, who had so far kept hiuan Jianyi was different fro willing to sacrifice hundreds of spies to determine the authencity of the two supply depots It was hard to find a pattern in the actions of such an opponent

Gu Shenwei had to ‘create’ the pattern for Shangguan Jianyi

There were bound to be a few people he wanted to kill theand the princess was to take place three days later Zhong Heng had already tried his best to cut down on the activities during the cerements could not be overlooked If they were, it would be insulting to her

News of the wedding created the wonderful effect of easing sost the locals Firstly, the people of the Stone Kingdo possesively, for exa that is worthy of the princess…&8221;

The soldiers fro in the barracks did not necessarily beco, but at the very least, they were no longer worried if the Dragon King was planning to massare them The tension felt by the soldiers frohtly

The veterans of the Dragon King’s arrowing significantly

Taking advantage of the general good u Xian as the General of the Left

As the Dragon King’s second-in-cou Xian would have various reponsibilities, such as restructuring, training and the selection of battle strategy Other than not being able to move the troops around at will, he was practically the Commander of the entire army

Each faction had exactly opposite reactions to the appointment

The soldiers and officers of the five nations trusted the Dragon King even u Xian used to be their Commander and had tried to wipe out the Great Snow Mmountain many times in the past If he could be pardoned, so could they

Other parties were indifferent, except for the swordsmen from the Great Snow Mountain and the ya, who vehemently opposed the appointment

The chiefs led dozens of swords Some of them even drew their heavy swords and waved them around To a casual onlooker, it looked as if they wanted to fight the Dragon King

Gu Shenwei knew them well They were uncouth and direct but si their swords was only a way for the their fans As such, he was not angry, but patiently explained his decision to theeneral and bore no hatred or ill will toward the Great Snow Mountain The Xiaowan Kingdou Xian’s faes; he had been forced to work for the Golden Roc Fort
