Ranking Of Kings: My Land Is SSS Rank - Chapter 101
Chapter 101: Internal Strife in the Alliance
The White Tiger Nation Lord was a muscular man. He rarely spoke and had a fierce look on his face. He looked extremely difficult to deal with.
At this moment, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, “The ambush has already failed. The overall strength of the demon army is much stronger than ours. I suggest that we immediately withdraw our troops and prepare for another battle at the next location.”
When the other country lords heard this, their eyes lit up, and they all agreed, “That’s right! I’ve checked just now. The overall quality of the demon army is too high. The combat strength that our country has nurtured is probably easy to be wiped out by a small team of demons. Even if we have a lot of mixed types of soldiers, it’s useless.”
“That’s right. Soldiers are valued for their quality, not their quantity. No wonder the Demon Country Lord only sent a hundred thousand troops. But these hundred thousand troops are all elites!”
“I saw that there are cavalry and mages in the demon army. The intelligence I received did not include these two types of soldiers.”
Lin Tao’s expression was extremely unsightly.
He actually did not want to directly confront the demon army, but in order to satisfy some unbearable desires in his heart, he gathered these country lords to plot against the Demon Country.
But this reason could not be brought out, let alone said.
“Do you think that you can cower now and survive? Since the demon army has already arrived, then the entire Region 0032 will be under the demon army’s attack. Either submit or die. Do you want to submit?”
Lin Tao shouted sternly.
…
He planned to use this to rouse everyone’s courage, but unfortunately, he didn’t have such charisma and strength.
“If they submit, so be it. Those who submit to the Demon Country Lord are all lords now. I’ve heard that they’re more comfortable than before. They don’t have to worry about being attacked. Other than being taxed and conscripted, they don’t have to worry about anything else. What’s wrong with living in peace?”
A small country lord standing at the back of the crowd muttered in disdain.
However, this stronghold was extremely quiet. After everyone became the country lord, their strength increased in all aspects. Even with a small voice, everyone could hear it clearly.
After many of the country lords heard this, their eyes flashed with a touch of excitement.
Killing intent flashed in Lin Tao’s eyes. A long sword appeared in his hand and instantly slashed toward the small country lord.
“No!”
“Stop!”
Everyone was shocked.
Lin Tao was too overbearing. He had only said a few words from his heart, and he wanted to kill him to establish his authority?
This was not a common soldier but the leader of a country. If he did that, what sense of security do they, as leaders have.
Since they had a common enemy, the other country lords almost instantly moved to stop him.
Lin Tao said angrily, “What are you doing? This person spouted nonsense and shook the morale of the army. Shouldn’t we kill him?”
The small country lord who spoke was also shocked by the sudden change. His face turned slightly pale, and his body trembled slightly.
He didn’t expect that he would be attacked by Lin Tao after telling the truth casually. The anger in his heart was instantly ignited.
“Lin Tao, you f*cking tried to kill me? Why did I bring the army here? Didn’t you f*cking bring the army here to buy time for those lackeys of yours? Don’t talk so high and mighty. In fact, which one of us here doesn’t know that you have a dirty and shameful goal?”
Although everyone knew Lin Tao’s goal, the threat of the Demon Country was real. That was why the alliance was formed and they agreed to send troops.
The goal was to make the Demon Country retreat or to give the other party a hard blow, and after they knew how powerful they were, they would withdraw.
However, when these words were made clear, as the strongest country lord in the alliance, this reason was too shameful for Lin Tao.
Lin Tao’s face was flushed red as he glared at the small country lord, his killing intent fully revealed.
“I’m going to kill him today. Whoever tries to stop me will become my enemy. You guys can choose!”
The tall and thin man from before, the country lord of the Vermillion Bird Nation, sighed softly and shook his head when he saw this. He thought to himself, “We’re still in the midst of a great battle with the Demon Country, and the internal department is already on the verge of collapse due to a small matter. With this kind of alliance, what capital does it have to resist the attack of the Demon Country?”
Lin Tao’s strength was the strongest after all. At this moment, when he made his move, many of the country lords immediately began to hesitate.
Just as he was about to make another move, an explosion came from the distant land.
The earth trembled slightly.
“The Demon Country has launched an attack!”
Someone exclaimed.
The speed of the Demon Country’s attack was too fast.
“Cavalry, it’s cavalry!”
At this moment, Lin Tao didn’t have the mood to target that small country lord anymore. He turned his head and looked over.
He saw thousands of demon cavalry charge out of the army and charge over.
These demon cavalries were much stronger than the cavalry they had seen before. Not only were the knights tall and big, but even the warhorses they rode were also a head taller than common warhorses. There were even flames burning on their four hooves, and it was an extremely shocking sight.
Everyone activated their scouting skills one after another. As a result, everyone could see the attributes of the Dread Fiend Cavalry.
[Dread Fiend Cavalry]: S-Rank. The Dread Fiend is the knight, and the Nightmare Warhorse is the mount.
Level: 1
Defense: 300
Constitution: 500
Speed: 800
Attack: 500
“Hiss –”
“How can they be called cavalry? Every single one of these cavalrymen is a mini-boss, right?”
All the lords, including Lin Tao, felt their scalps go numb when they saw the attributes of these Dread Fiend Cavalry.
“This is only level 1, but its attributes are already so insane. What will happen if it reaches level 10?”
“How can we fight this battle? The Demon Country’s army is too insane.”
“Did you guys notice that Li Xiang did not come with them? The one commanding the battle behind is a hero unit called the Demon Warlord! However, the level of this Demon Warlord is too high, so his attributes couldn’t be seen. But as a hero unit, to be able to command such a large army, his attributes must not be low!”
The people on this side hadn’t even exchanged a few words when the Azure Dragon Nation army that was facing the demon army had already shot out terrifying bolts.
However, the Azure Dragon Nation Lord Lin Tao’s expression didn’t look too good.
If it wasn’t for the fact that there wasn’t enough time, he would definitely withdraw his army.
But now it was too late. He could only watch helplessly as his army faced the attack of the Dread Fiend Cavalry.
“No matter what, with so many bolts of my own, I should be able to cause some casualties to the demon cavalry, right?”
In his heart, there was both unspeakable regret and a trace of anticipation.
Even though the idea was good, the reality was cruel.
The moment the ballista shot out, a magical light suddenly lit up behind them.
Five hundred Demon Mages took action, and a large amount of buffed light appeared on the Dread Fiend Cavalry.
“Bang Bang Bang…”
Dozens of huge ballista arrows shot onto the bodies of the ten or so riders at the front. The light shone, and with a slight pause, the ballista arrows were sent flying, and then they charged over again.
“This…”
The group of country lords’ eyeballs almost popped out.
“A natural disaster has erupted in our country. I’ll take my leave first. Farewell!”
