"So, we're a couple of idiots then," he said.
Lin Zhan was stunned. "Damn, let's not compete with Old Ying and Haoran for that title. When we get back, I'll have these 500 people follow you, and I'll be in charge of the elders."
"That's acceptable."
Lin Zhan looked at the satisfied little Taoist priest and couldn't help but think to himself: Sigh, he's still just a kid. What's the use of him leading people? They still have to listen to me. As long as I guide him well, isn't that enough?
On the battlefield, the lizardmen's Kaiwei Legion and twenty thousand Swamp Giant Lizards were all killed within 500 meters of the city walls.
Lin Zhan's 5-kilometer-long graveyard had successfully buried 300,000 elite troops of the lizardmen and 20,000 Swamp Giant Lizards.
Mark Borg and Zach Borg led one million elite soldiers of the Borg clan and once again launched an attack on the fortress along the path cleared by the Kaiwei Legion.
"My sons, General Kaiwei was a great warrior. The Kaiwei Legion used their blood and flesh to clear a path for us. We have a responsibility to avenge the Kaiwei Legion, kill all the humans, and avenge our comrades."
Mark Borg stood on the head of a dead Swamp Giant Lizard and shouted loudly to the advancing troops.
Ying Buzheng, standing on the city wall far away, said to Leng Ao beside him, "Old Leng, shoot another arrow directly and send this brat back home too."
Leng Ao looked at Ying Buzheng as if he were an idiot.
"Old Wai, are you stupid? This guy is a quasi-king of the clan, stronger than me. If you can, shoot him."
The Golden Legion, led by Mark Borg and Zach Borg, quickly advanced to within five hundred meters of the city walls.
Mark Borg roared, "Assault team, prepare for javelin attacks, clear the minefield."
As soon as the words fell, 3,000 Diamond-level lizardmen surged forward. Javelins, imbued with the powerful energy of Diamond-level lizardmen, were hurled towards the minefield ahead.
The area-of-effect attacks of Diamond-level warriors could cover hundreds of square meters. After a few rounds of javelins, the Borg family's assault team had completely cleared the minefield ahead.
Looking at the large pits blasted open below, Lin Zhan pouted, his face filled with pain.
"Damn it, all my Type 2 landmines are wasted. These things cost money!"
He then said to the staff officer beside him, "Tell the troops of the Hundred Battles Legion engaging the enemy to retreat and bring up the Ancestral Court Guard of my Great Shang Dynasty."
The 8,000-strong Ancestral Court Guard immediately ascended the city walls upon receiving the order, replacing the engagement troops of the Hundred Battles Legion.
Mark Borg and Zach Borg finally led their Golden Legion to the foot of Lin Zhan's city wall.
Zach Borg said with a sinister grin, "My sons, it's time for revenge."
"Assault team, get onto the wall immediately and engage the enemy, opening a path for our brothers behind."
The 3,000 Diamond-level assault team members, looking at the nearly hundred-meter-high city wall, leaped up without a word.
Before the 3,000 lizardmen could even establish a foothold on the wall, they saw a powerful hand emerge from within the wall and pull all 3,000 Diamond-level lizardmen inside.
In a short while, lizardmen heads were being thrown out.
It wasn't that the assault team was too weak, but that the Great Shang Ancestral Court Guard was too strong.
The assault team members were, on average, at the early Diamond stage, while the lowest standard for Lin Zhan's guard was the late Diamond stage.
Furthermore, it was a two-on-one situation, with one person grabbing and the other decapitating, so the outcome of the battle was this easy, with no suspense.
Mark Borg and Zach Borg, the brothers, stared blankly at the assault team heads thrown down, utterly bewildered about what to do next.
After a few seconds, Mark Borg finally reacted and shouted at the Golden Legion, "All units attack! Even if we have to pile them up with bodies, I want you to crush them!"
Lin Zhan looked at the frenzied brothers below and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Guard unit, retreat. Hundred Battles Legion, prepare to engage. All city defense weapons, unleash full firepower. All long-range units, begin comprehensive suppression of the enemy's long-range attacks."
Davy, who was far behind, watched as the Borg clan's assault team was wiped out by Lin Zhan, and his heart trembled.
"Order all troops to advance, merge with the Borg clan's Golden Legion, and let's take the human fortress in one go."
Upon Davy's command, the remaining 700,000 lizardmen moved out, preparing to launch an attack on the fortress.
The two hidden emperors of the lizardmen could no longer afford to stall Xuan Shang and the other three. They quickly found Davy and said,
"Davy, you cannot lead the troops in this attack. We miscalculated this time. The human strength is too great. If anything changes, you will be the first to be brought away."
Lin Zhan, standing on the city wall, noticed the commotion in the lizardmen's camp and chuckled, "Damn it, this kid has finally fallen into the trap."
Lin Zhan said to Tie Lao Si beside him,
"Fourth Brother, send a message to Ancestor Xuan Shang and tell them to let those two hidden emperors of the lizardmen go and just kill those two Nine-headed Dragon Lizards."
Tie Lao Si looked confused. "Why? Even if we brothers don't make a move, Xuan Shang and the other three are enough to deal with those two fools."
Lin Zhan shook his head, a mischievous smile on his face.
"If those two old bastards are killed, who will testify for Davy? If Davy doesn't bring his troops next time, who will I trick?"
Tie Lao Si, this giant panda,'s eyes lit up when he heard Lin Zhan's words. "Damn, you're still so wicked. You can only trick this one person."
Lin Zhan was stunned and said to Tie Lao Liu, "Alright, Sixth Brother, I'll take that as a compliment. Besides, aren't I doing this out of good intentions? I also want to cultivate a qualified commander for the lizardmen."
"You can stop it. You're planning to exterminate their race, what kind of commander are you cultivating?"
Lin Zhan watched as the wolf fangs and night yaks smashed down, killing a large number of lizardmen with each strike.
He chuckled and said to Lin Hai and Lin Shan, "Second Grandpa, Third Grandpa, you two have to work a bit harder later and go out to chop up those two brothers of the Borg clan."
Lin Hai and Lin Shan nodded and said to Lin Zhan, "It's a small matter, Zhan'er, wait a moment."
With that, the two old brothers were about to jump off the city wall. Lin Zhan quickly stopped them.
"Damn, Second Grandpa, Third Grandpa, didn't I say to wait a moment? There are nearly two million lizardmen below. What are you two going down for? Pick out a group for yourselves?"
Lin Shan pouted, "What's the big deal? When Big Brother was still around, the fighting was even fiercer. We brothers would charge in whenever we said so."
Lin Zhan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, completely stunned. "Damn, now I finally know why our family is so small."
