Chapter 1212: 540: Shameless Lanling! War, war!_2

This woman’s figure is so enchanting, it devours not only men’s gazes but also their souls.

Alfonso sighed, "Yin Ji, how could I not know this? But now is absolutely not the time to start a war, it would be all harm and no benefit."

This shamaness named Yin Ji was Chief Alfonso’s most trusted person.

Shamaness Yin Ji said, "Godfather, you must consider one thing: you don’t want to fight, and even more so, Constantine doesn’t want to fight. So only he can retreat, not you."

Alfonso asked, "What do you propose?"

Shamaness Yin Ji replied, "We should put on an overbearing appearance, continue advancing, pressuring Constantine to come to the negotiation table, forcing him to pay us to retreat."

Alfonso asked, "How many gold coins should we extort from him?"

"At least fifty thousand gold coins," Shamaness Yin Ji said, "That way, even if we don’t fight, we can still gain enormous benefits."

Alfonso pondered for a moment and said, "Makes sense, let’s do it."

Thus, Alfonso’s army continued to advance, approaching Constantine’s camp!

...

Suo Mo and Du Yan raced at lightning speed, covering two hundred seventy miles in just over three hours, reaching Constantine’s military camp.

Chief Constantine personally came to greet them.

"Haha, my old friend, at such a critical time, if you aren’t by my side, my heart is truly uneasy." Constantine patted Suo Mo’s shoulder and said, "Now that you’re here, I have no fear, even if it comes to war with Alfonso, I won’t be intimidated."

Suo Mo, expressionless, said, "You flatter me, Chief."

Suo Mo’s arrival indeed relieved Constantine.

He was genuinely worried that Suo Mo might lead a rebellion, although he could return with his army promptly to quell it. However, in such a case, he wouldn’t know what kind of compromise to expect from Alfonso; at least eighty to ninety thousand gold coins, if not more, would be required.

Now that Suo Mo had voluntarily come to his side, it indicated he had no ulterior motives and no intention of rebelling, which aligned with Constantine’s assessment.

Suo Mo was a person so upright it bordered on rigidity, unlikely to instigate a rebellion.

Just then, a rumble of horse hooves suddenly resounded from the north, raising clouds of dust.

"Report to Chief, Alfonso’s army is closing in on us, less than eight miles away." The scout came to report.

Constantine’s face changed drastically; was Alfonso mad?

...

An hour later!

Alfonso, the Ankara Tribe chief, led ten thousand troops to arrive, confronting Constantine’s army from the north, with less than three miles separating them.

The atmosphere between the two armies was extremely tense, like a massive powder keg ready to ignite at any moment.

"This is extortion, blatant extortion." Constantine said coldly as he looked at Alfonso’s army.

Thus, both armies fell into a standoff, neither advancing nor retreating!

Alfonso’s side aimed to force Constantine to compromise first and personally approach for negotiations.

Meanwhile, Constantine wanted to gain the upper hand in negotiations, hoping for Alfonso to take the first step.

The two armies hurled insults and provocations from afar, yet neither made a move to attack.

The situation reached a stalemate!

...

At this moment, Suo Mo was also burning with anxiety!

He had to inform Lanling as quickly as possible that he was no longer in the Chimera Tribe and couldn’t lead the Barbarian Army in rebellion, so Lanling should prepare early.

Filled with rage, he shouted towards the Ankara army, "Alfonso, whether you fight or not, whether you retreat or not, what on earth do you mean?"

Suo Mo’s cultivation was so astonishing that this shout was loud enough to carry several miles, making sure Lanling could hear it clearly.

At this moment, within the Ghost Realm World Energy Shield, Lanling was sitting cross-legged, eyes closed, awaiting the right moment.

Upon hearing his uncle Suo Mo’s voice, he suddenly awoke with a start!

The worst situation had occurred!

Constantine grew suspicious and summoned his uncle Suo Mo to his side, removing him from the Barbarian Army Camp.

A leaderless Barbarian Army could not possibly rebel.

Lanling even suspected that it was Du Yan who warned Constantine, leading to the emergence of this scenario.

This despicable traitor truly deserved to be flayed and have his sinews pulled out.

However, even the worst-case scenario was within Lanling’s plans.

He was someone who strategized comprehensively, leaving no potential issue unconsidered.

Now there was no other option but for him, Lanling, to lead the Barbarian Army in rebellion.

Lanling took a deep breath and stood up!

Looking out from a high place, Constantine and Alfonso’s two armies were only three miles apart, seemingly on the brink of erupting.

If Lanling wanted to successfully lead the Barbarian Army in rebellion, two prerequisites must be met.

The first prerequisite was that Constantine and Alfonso must actually go to war.

This place was too close to the Chimera Tribe, and Constantine’s cavalry could return to the Chimera Tribe at the fastest speed at any time. Only after he fought with Alfonso’s army would his forces be tied up, unable to aid their stronghold.

However, getting them to start a war was very difficult.

Despite their war cries and threats, both armies were absolutely unwilling to fight.

Ninety-nine percent, they wouldn’t actually fight.

Therefore, Lanling had to devise a way to force the two armies into a direct battle!

And regarding this point, Lanling had long planned.

...

In the Ankara army camp.

Alfonso, in a state of agitation, said, "Perhaps I should send someone to negotiate with Constantine."

"No way." Shamaness Yin Ji said, "At this point, whoever initiates negotiations first shows weakness and will fall into a passive situation."
