Why is it like this? It’s completely different from what he imagined. He thought this matter would end with his sister’s departure, but he didn’t expect so many complicated things to arise.
Ye Tiancheng never dreamed his sister would say such things.
As someone who desperately wanted to become a peak-level slacker.
If asked what was happening in this world, he would stick to his own ideas.
This might very well be the last time, but it wouldn’t hinder his progress.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Preparations were complete.
The work of attacking Caishi City, everyone was eager to make a big splash. Although they had reservations about the city lord, they still believed he could lead them to the future. After all, everyone has some flaws, some aspects that others find disagreeable.
Things had reached this point. If he gave the signal, the force of over a thousand men would launch an attack on Caishi City.
“What do you all think we should do?” Ah, he suddenly asked this question often. Everyone found it inexplicable, and they exchanged bewildered glances.
“I mean, how can we minimize casualties…”
Hearing Ye Tiancheng’s words, everyone finally understood what he meant.
Many people actively offered suggestions. Sometimes, the method of using earth arches for excavation was proposed, which could avoid the enemy’s projectile attacks.
He considered this method. Of course, it was a good method, but it had a fatal flaw: its efficiency was too low.
Since ancient times, speed has been paramount in warfare.
If Shuixiang City learned that Ye Tiancheng was attacking Caishi, they would immediately organize troops to cut off his retreat. At that time, Ye Tiancheng would be caught between two forces.
If he were lucky, he might escape. If he were unlucky, he would likely die there. This would become his eternal nightmare.
This was also something Ye Tiancheng did not want to see.
Therefore, he immediately rejected this suggestion.
This suggestion was truly impressive.
Ye Tiancheng smiled, a smile filled with immense danger.
Hong Hu, seeing his smile, felt like he was about to explode.
No matter what, what he wanted was entirely an act of recklessness.
This also cast a dangerous omen over the current situation.
But Ye Tiancheng felt it was good, at least it was exciting.
“I’ll take five people. The rest will wait for news. Once the signal flares are launched, you will storm the gates of Caishi City!” Ye Tiancheng said to everyone after thinking.
Upon hearing this news, everyone’s faces showed astonishment.
They didn’t understand why Ye Tiancheng would risk his own life.
The City Lord himself was going to be the assault leader.
What if he died?
But no one was worried about whether he would die.
Perhaps, if he died, it would be good for the Duogongna city-state.
This person… was too dictatorial; he was not their ideal City Lord.
Seeing everyone’s expressions, the system chuckled, “It seems you are truly disliked. They are indifferent to your life and death.”
“So what? They flatter you on the surface but want you dead in secret? I don’t want such hypocrisy. People are all like this, so don’t expect too much from others. Those articles that flatter you on the surface and treat you as important have brainwashed so many naive people, and they believe it. In reality, people are animals who act for themselves.”
Upon hearing this, the system was about to explode.
This person was truly disliked by him.
It was a bit too dark, truly not good.
In this way, in the future, it would be very unlucky…
But then it could only be up to him. This system could do nothing, absolutely nothing.
Thus, it was sorrowful.
Immediately, five members were selected.
These five people were actually the Wu brothers.
Their appearance was ferocious, almost like centaurs from Greek mythology.
These people were called mixed-blood warriors.
Their physique was incredibly imposing.
Within a certain period, their explosive combat power was terrifying, and it was even rumored that they could achieve a state of invulnerability.
But Ye Tiancheng had never seen these Wu brothers achieve invulnerability.
Therefore, he was very suspicious of these Wu brothers.
However, it was only their skills that he doubted.
He did not doubt their loyalty.
So, this time he took them, the five of them.
The five people were named Zhao Yi, Er, San, Si, and Wu.
Names that were easy to remember.
Presumably, their parents were also simple, making naming their sons very easy.
Ye Tiancheng looked at the five Zhao brothers, filled with anticipation.
The five brothers looked at Ye Tiancheng, their eyes filled with fearless expressions.
They viewed life and death lightly and were ready to fight anyone who dared to challenge them.
Let’s go, us!
This was the answer in their eyes.
Some people, without speaking, answered all questions through their expressions.
Those who did not follow Ye Tiancheng naturally mocked the five as fools.
They believed that they would surely die in Caishi City this time.
Therefore, they thought Ye Tiancheng would also die there.
As for whether he died, it didn’t matter to them. Ye Tiancheng was a dispensable person.
Whether he was the City Lord or not, they remained the same. Whether he was not the City Lord, they also remained the same.
As people living at the bottom of the Duogongna city-state,
It didn’t matter who became the City Lord.
They remained themselves, still unable to turn their fortunes around.
These people were only following him for a meager living. To be honest, they would not wholeheartedly fight for Ye Tiancheng’s will.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng did not expect anything from them.
Most of them were there to survive and receive their meager military pay.
Otherwise, what do you think?
Everyone is like this.
One exists for oneself, and all selfish thoughts are justifiable.
Even if you understand, what can you do? What is unchangeable will always remain unchangeable…
So, when these things become lessons, then you will pay a price you cannot comprehend. In all these consequences, a large part will be spent in regret.
Once you understand what you want to understand, everything will be presented to you completely.
Because regret and pain are also a part of being human.
When you understand these things, everything will become the most perfect manifestation.
Regardless of whether others are willing to accept this condition.
All causal factors will also become the results you wish to achieve.
“Isn’t that right?” Zhao Yi asked.
Zhao Er smiled, “It doesn’t matter. We view life and death lightly and are ready to fight. We should trust the City Lord.”
“But he is a dictatorial person.”
Zhao San pouted.
Zhao Si smiled, “We shouldn’t think too much. Any City Lord should have their own ideas. An evil City Lord, a righteous City Lord, a god-like City Lord. After experiencing so much, finding a role model? That’s very difficult, as one appears only once in a thousand years. We demand too much from others but very little from ourselves. Don’t you find that ridiculous?”
Zhao Si’s words suddenly made everyone feel as if they had been cleansed.
Perhaps, this feeling would disappear.
But it was very moving to the heart.
Since it could be moving, then what would all of this become?
This is still difficult to explain.
Since it is difficult to explain, there is no need to explain it.
Most people felt endless emotion due to this flaw.
Roughly speaking, he then clearly felt what it meant to view life and death lightly and be ready to fight.
Waiting is always long.
Half a month passed quickly.
Around the end of the month, the battle entered its final moments.
Xiao Huzizi arrived.
He asked Ye Tiancheng with great interest, “I heard you’re going to be the assault leader?”
“Not heard? It’s confirmed…”
“You will die.”
“No, I will live. After all, I don’t want to die.” Ye Tiancheng smiled.
Xiao Huzizi laughed heartily.
Then he said, “I’ve prepared what you need.”
“Then thank you!”
“Thank me? That’s a bit unbelievable.”
“Why shouldn’t I thank you? Because provisions are the first thing before any military action.” It seems that the quartermaster is a very important official position.
It was naturally something Ye Tiancheng would value. So, even though it seemed like everything could come to an end, it would eventually develop into your endless nightmare.
In the final moment, what Ye Tiancheng loved most was killing, killing, killing…
Only in this way could he maintain his final thought.
This thought is actually very simple, which is to eliminate those guys one by one.
Then he would proceed according to his preferred pattern.
Although this thought is very evil, for Ye Tiancheng, it is a necessary element.
Entering darkness, one can also glimpse the power of darkness.
The power of darkness is also a form of energy.
As long as it is used well, one can easily defeat the opponent.
Being able to defeat the opponent is a pleasant and joyful thing for that person.
Soon, he set off with five people.
The remaining 1000 people waited ten miles outside the city gate.
The various strategies discussed earlier had been rejected.
Ye Tiancheng was taking a great risk this time. He might die in Caishi City.
Because the plan had been decided long ago, all they could do was let Caishi City know that he had arrived with five people.
Caishi City thought this was a rumor and not worth believing.
The City Lord of Caishi City, Xiao Ran, could only watch the soldiers from Duogongna city-state in the distance from atop the city walls and smile.
“I knew it. How could Ye Tiancheng dare to sneak attack with just five people? He must be an idiot.”
“Yes, I think they are just spreading rumors to make us guard against small enemy raids, thereby making us careless about the city’s defenses.”
A deputy general, flattering Xiao Ran, said with a smile beside him.
The deputy general’s brain was truly sick.
The art of war is about deception and reality. How could it be so clearly revealed that you wouldn’t die?
In this way, it seemed quite self-righteous.
Unfortunately, they had completely miscalculated.
Ye Tiancheng had arrived.
He arrived on auspicious clouds of five colors…
“Report to the City Lord, the granary is on fire! The supply depot is also on fire…” a soldier ran up the city wall in a panic, panting.
Xiao Ran’s face immediately turned pale.
After a long while, he recovered.
“Quick, take people to put out the fire!”
In fact, what he should have done now was defend the city, not lead people to put out fires.
What was the use of putting out fires?
The provisions were already burning. They could only fight to the death.
Going to put out fires would not recover the losses.
Rather than losing both, it was better to secure one and obtain what one desired.
But people are not that intelligent. Underneath it all, they always make wrong judgments.
This wrong judgment could cause you to lose everything.
But people whose blood rushes to their heads almost never think.
Xiao Ran was that simple. Therefore, although Caishi City was strong, its City Lord was not very good, like an idiot.
This destined Caishi City to become Ye Tiancheng’s meal.
In this way, it meant he would become a prisoner of war.
Seeing soldiers attacking, Ye Tiancheng said to Zhao Yi and the others, “Quick, get out of here.”
“What? Get out?”
It was clear they hadn’t had enough fun.
Now, they still wanted to fight.
“Let’s go, you idiots!”
His eyes were filled with killing intent.
In this way, he would be completely in a state of perverse behavior.
Then, it would make his mood exceptionally bad.
“You’ll have plenty of opportunities to fight later. They have more people now, what the hell are you playing at?” After speaking, he led Zhao Yi away.
Zhao Yi was dragged along, completely like a dead dog.
Zhao Yi’s brothers immediately dared not defy Ye Tiancheng’s words.
