Chapter 130 Deployment of Troops
The three Elders of the Manor held such high positions within the Southern Border Army.
Apart from the late Old Southern Border King, there wasn't a single person in the entire Southern Border Army that could elicit such an action from the three Elders of the Manor!
Even the current Southern Border King was in no position to do so!
Yet now, the three Elders of the Manor stood respectfully before Ye Ling, with a humble demeanor.
Seeing the three Elders of the Manor behave in such a way, the Hidden Qi King and his three companions immediately realized something.
It was indeed true that Miyamoto Musashi had personally visited the Southern Border Army's main base half a month ago to challenge the Southern Border Army!
And this Northern Liao King was indeed a true War King powerhouse, otherwise, with the proud nature of the three Elders of the Manor, how could they be so reverent toward him.
"When the Southern Border King previously sent someone to convey his royal edicts to the various pseudo-kings, the Medicine King, Tianling King, and Jade Mountain King outright stated that the Southern Border King was not worthy of their personal audience,"
"Regarding this matter, do you three have any opinions?"
Ye Ling looked at the three Elders of the Manor in front of him, and asked.
Upon hearing this, the faces of the three Elders of the Manor darkened.
The eldest elder immediately spoke, "These three do not understand respect and hierarchy, defy the royal edict, and according to the law, should be executed!"
Ye Ling possessed the strength of a War King; his personal visit to the Southern Border was clearly to ensure the Southern Border King could firmly re-establish his position as king of Southern Border.
The three Elders of the Manor were not fools, they naturally understood Ye Ling's intention, and without hesitation, they chose to side with Ye Ling.
Even though they had some unsavory dealings with the Medicine King before, now everyone tacitly avoided mentioning those past events, and naturally, the three Elders of the Manor would not take the initiative to mention them either.
"Very good!"
Ye Ling nodded slightly and then looked towards the Southern Border King to speak, "Please issue your command, Southern Border King!"
Upon hearing this, the Southern Border King looked at Ye Ling with gratitude.
If it weren't for Ye Ling in the Southern Border, how could these three Elders of the Manor be so obedient to his command?
The Southern Border King cleared his throat and then spoke, "Medicine King and the other two have scorned my authority. Today, I will lead troops to the Medicine King's estate and reassert the military might of our Southern Border Army!"
"Three Elders of the Manor, four commanders, heed my command!"
As these words were spoken, the three Elders of the Manor and the four commanders, including Wang Tiezhu who had been silent all this time, all said in unison, "We are present!"
"The four commanders shall immediately gather three thousand troops from the Southern Border Army and accompany me to the Medicine King's estate!"
"His strength is at most on par with ours, yet he still dares to lord it over us like he used to, truly thinking he's still the Southern Border King who once shook the Southern Frontier?"
Although the Jade Mountain King did not speak, his face was also full of disdain.
The three once again drained their glasses, and afterward, the Jade Mountain King, with a hint of worry on his face, spoke, "I'm not worried about that Southern Border King causing much trouble, but that Northern Liao King gives me some pause..."
Upon hearing this, the Medicine King's expression changed, for the Northern Liao King was a being capable of slaying Miyamoto Musashi, a war realm powerhouse.
If he really was willing to lend a hand to the Southern Border King, their open defiance against the Southern Border King might leave them with no way out but death!
Seeing the panicked look on both men, the Jade Mountain King shook his head with a smile and then said, "What's there to panic about? The Northern Liao King is already in no position to protect himself, let alone care about the Southern Border King."
"Oh? Does the Jade Mountain King have some news?"
The Medicine King raised his eyebrows and immediately looked towards the Jade Mountain King.
The Jade Mountain King swiftly turned his gaze on him as well.
Facing the stares from both, the Jade Mountain King said with a light laugh, "The elders of the Guiyi Dao Sect are greatly infuriated by the death of Mo Tianwen."
"The powerhouses of the Guiyi Dao Sect have already declared that there is no need to wait for the Northern Liao King to personally visit the Guiyi Dao Sect."
"The Guiyi Dao Sect's strongest fighters will take matters into their own hands, to end the life of the Northern Liao King!"
Hearing this, both the Medicine King and Jade Mountain King revealed looks of joy.
Although the fighters from the Guiyi Dao Sect may not necessarily succeed in killing the Northern Liao King, if a few more elders from the Guiyi Dao Sect were to die,
the former Sect Master of the Guiyi Dao Sect would definitely come out from seclusion to seek revenge from the Northern Liao King personally!
With this, no matter whether the Northern Liao King could defeat the powerhouses of the Guiyi Dao Sect, what awaited him was a certain death situation!
"Good! The Northern Liao King really thinks the Southern Frontier is his Northern Cool to act so recklessly in the Southern Frontier. He's finally hit a wall now! Hahaha!"
The Medicine King laughed heartily, his words filled with satisfaction.
Before the three could celebrate for long, a hurried voice suddenly came from outside the house: "My Lord! Disaster has struck!"
Hearing this, the Medicine King's brows furrowed, and he immediately said, "Come in!"
As the words fell, a martial artist dressed in black training attire entered the room.
"What happened? Why such a panic, making such an unseemly spectacle!"
The Medicine King said in a deep voice.
