Chapter 1595: Cooperating with the Barbarian Empire

To preserve oneself in such a situation is the greatest skill.

However, in the blink of an eye, the soldiers of the two strongest empires, the Black Armored Empire and the Brocade Empire, had suffered widespread casualties. Only the Barbarian Empire remained completely still and utterly unharmed!

As expected, soon, the two generals from the Black Armored and Brocade legions immediately cast their stern gazes upon the leader of the Barbarian Legion. The man rode a strong, robust yak-like beast, with two throwing knives, each over a meter long, connected by an adamantine chain on his back. This leading general was covered in various engravings, making him look no different from a wild mountain man. However, from Xu Yang's observation, this individual's inherent strength appeared to be the greatest among the three generals.

“Haha. My duty is to guard the border regions of the Barbarian Empire, not to join forces with your two empires and engage in a show of strength. As long as that big fellow up there doesn't cross the line, I have no intention of making an enemy of him! Can't you two dimwits tell when you're outmatched? His strength is such that he could probably kill both of you with a single fart. To so recklessly and foolishly provoke him is truly overestimating yourselves.”

As soon as he spoke, Xu Yang and the hundreds of thousands of warriors from his Professor Legion behind him burst into laughter. After all that, it was the Barbarian Empire's general who proved to be the most sensible.

As expected, after receiving such an attitude from him, Xu Yang had no intention of giving the Barbarian Empire's army a show of force. After all, Xu Yang had always held a relatively favorable impression of this faction. Now that he had received such an attitude from the opposing leader and general, Xu Yang became even more determined to maintain good relations with the Barbarian Empire.

“Interesting. Those who know the times are heroes, and this general speaks wisely. Although we are outsiders, labeled as invaders by you, we have no intention of harming you. On the contrary, you immediately gathered here, intending to encircle and annihilate my beast comrades. Since your Second Divine Temple World is so exclusive, then you can't blame me. This battle ends here today. Each of you, go back and report and summarize the battle situation here. I'd like to see what kind of attitude the three most renowned empires of this Second Divine Temple World hold towards us invaders. And we, in turn, will decide how to proceed with our journey based on the feedback from the three empires. Also, a word of advice: if you truly intend to be our enemies, your mere tens of thousands of soldiers are not enough for me to slaughter alone, let alone the hundreds of thousands of elite warriors behind me! My words are finished now. All warriors who have not yet lost their lives, remove your armor and equipment, and get out of my sight immediately. I will not repeat myself. If you have not made any move after ten breaths, then don't blame me for unleashing a new round of slaughter.”

Xu Yang's voice, like the divine sound of a god from the heavens, spread across the battlefield below. It deeply shook the soul of every warrior below. Faced with such terrifying might, how could these mortal beings possibly have the confidence to act presumptuously before such a god-like figure?

They almost entirely disregarded their generals' commands, immediately stripped off their armor, and frantically fled into the depths of the three towering mountains behind them. These three peaks actually served as the most distinct barrier marking the borders of the three empires. The mountain on the left was the border of the Black Armored Empire, the one in the middle naturally belonged to the Brocade Empire, and the one on the far right marked the border of the Barbarian Empire. Both the Black Armored Empire and the Brocade Empire, each with 50,000 soldiers, suffered heavy blows and were the two forces that experienced the most severe defeat and flight.

It is worth noting that the leading general of the Brocade Legion and the team of three thousand cultivators in black robes did not withdraw immediately. Instead, they calmly remained in place, quietly observing the situation. In contrast, the Black Armored Empire, which bore the brunt of the attack, had little left to lose at this point. Only the cunning Black Armored general remained with a few hundred of his personal guards, barely managing to uphold the dignity of the Black Armored Empire as the foremost empire. After all, given his faith as a general of the Black Armored Empire, if he were to flee in such a defeat, his head as a general would likely not be spared.

Only the Barbarian Empire on the far right, which had brought about ten thousand Barbarian warriors, was remarkably calm, showing no intention of retreating in defeat. It wasn't that they dared to defy Xu Yang's command; rather, the leading Barbarian general, wielding two great sabers, seemed to have something he wished to communicate to Xu Yang.

“I have been observing for a while now. Your power is immense, and although I am unsure for what reason you entered the Kunlun Domain and subsequently our Second Divine Temple World, our Barbarian Empire's civilization does not permit any form of life within the Second Divine Temple World to face exclusion. Even though the hundreds of thousands of powerful beast lifeforms behind you are inherently dangerous, I still desire to forge a more intricate cooperative relationship with you. As you have led hundreds of thousands of beast legions into the Second Divine Temple World, I presume you haven't even found a suitable foothold. Hiding yourselves in a place like this would be nearly impossible. However, our Barbarian Empire might be able to help you resolve this issue.”

These words were conveyed by the Barbarian Empire's general to Xu Yang through a special mental power technique. Little did he know, these were precisely the words Xu Yang most wanted to hear at that moment.

“I was just wondering how to make such a request to you. Now that you've extended an olive branch, as the leader of these hundreds of thousands of beast legions, how could I not consider their fundamental living needs? I believe we can now discuss the details of our cooperation further.”

When Xu Yang's mental power flowed back into the mind of the Barbarian Empire's general as a response, the other party suddenly burst into laughter, looking up at the sky.

“Hahaha! Interesting. Since you are such a straightforward person, our warriors of the Barbarian Empire should naturally extend our hospitality and demonstrate our sincerity.”

As soon as the Barbarian general finished speaking, he suddenly gave a look to the bald, muscular men behind him. Those powerfully built men, dressed like deputy generals, immediately issued a highly unusual command to the more than ten thousand warriors behind them. It was a secret language of their Barbarian tribe, completely unintelligible to the soldiers of the other two empires, who could not decipher the meaning conveyed by their strange tones.

Unfortunately, by the time they understood the true intentions of the Barbarian Empire's general, it was already too late.
