”Lord Marquis, has your cultivation finished?”
A hint of surprise flashed through Li Siye's eyes as he noticed that Wang Chong was loosening up.
”Mm.”
Wang Chong nodded.
”How much time has passed? Has anything happened on the other side?”
”Lord Marquis only began to meditate a few moments ago. Not even twenty seconds have passed,” Li Siye said. ”As for the Tibetans… nothing yet.”
”Oh?”
Wang Chong was dazed as he now understood why Li Siye had appeared surprised. Although he felt like a long time had passed, it had actually been just twenty seconds… In Li Siye's eyes, he had barely sat himself down.
But the flow of time in the mental space had always been different from the flow of time in reality.
Bwoooom!
As they were speaking, a plaintive horn blared from the Tibetan army, echoing across the battlefield. Unlike the previous horns, this horn carried with it a stifling pressure.
Buzz!
The earth began to tremble, and even the grass in front of Wang Chong and Li Siye started rustling.
Wang Chong's expression turned grave and he immediately stood.
”Pass on my order for all soldiers to get ready! Dayan Mangban is about to attack!” Wang Chong sternly said.
Sensing the gravity in Wang Chong's voice, Li Siye quickly took off. The moment he left, buzz! A powerful aura emerged from the Tibetan army two thousand zhang away, clear and distinct. Looking over, Wang Chong saw the black tide of the Tibetan army split apart, allowing a snow-white steed with crimson hooves to trot out.
A familiar figure was mounted on this warhorse, its eyes locked onto Wang Chong. Even at this distance, Wang Chong could sense that chilling killing intent and the fiendish air around him.
Is the attack finally beginning?
Wang Chong had immediately recognized Dayan Mangban.
Although he had defeated Dayan Mangban twice, Wang Chong was not the slightest bit relaxed. Dayan Mangban was a famous general of Ü-Tsang, a brave, fierce general, and Ü-Tsang's 'Asura War God'.
In those previous two incidents, Wang Chong had used schemes or group attacks to deal with Dayan Mangban, but they had never once engaged in a proper cavalry battle.
More importantly, Dayan Mangban was the sort of person who would learn from each experience, and with no white fog of barley powder, Wang Chong wouldn't be able to use another dust explosion to deal with him.
'Brat, your death is certain!'
Although Dayan Mangban had said nothing, Wang Chong could clearly see the murderous intent in his eyes. Bzzt! Dayan Mangban raised his right hand, giving the signal for a different force of cavalry to trot out.
Every soldier of this force was riding an extremely muscular horse, larger in every aspect than the surrounding highland steeds.
Their bulging muscles contained an explosive strength.
And their riders were also different from the rest of the Tibetan cavalry.
Owing to the environment of the plateau, the majority of Tibetans were shorter than the average Han, but each of these riders was extremely tall, and their eyes were dark and cruel. Just by standing in their ranks, they exuded a murderous and baleful aura that soared into the skies and exerted an intense pressure.
No ordinary cavalry could exude this kind of intense aura. The only force that could compare to them across the entire plateau was Wang Chong's five thousand Wushang Cavalry.
”The White Braves!”
In the distance, several officers from the Qixi Protectorate army narrowed their eyes as they whispered out that name. Heba Ye was particularly affected, his pupils shrinking into pinpricks.
No one had a deeper impression of the White Braves than the Qixi Protectorate army. It had needed the deaths of five thousand soldiers and General Pulan He to learn the power and ferocity of the White Braves under Dayan Mangban's command.
To the Qixi Protectorate army, that event was a nightmare. Although there had been only around two thousand White Braves, each of them had been like a demon out of the underworld.
Although the soldiers of the Qixi Protectorate army had charged into the fray, they were thrown to the sky like ragdolls before the White Braves. Although they had gone up in groups, they had completely failed to stop the advance of the White Braves.
This impressive strength, the frightening techniques, and callous heart… Even the veteran Qixi soldiers trembled in fear at the might of the White Braves.
