The Minister Wu was very satisfied with the envoys that were able to provoke the Fengjue Country. After all, in the battlefield, the people from the Fengjue Country would definitely be fighting much more fiercely and Li Yuangu would have a much higher chance of failure.

Although, if this was the case, then their Great Lu Dynasty might have to pay an even greater price during the negotiations, but, the Minister Wu did not care, it was not him who caused that, and the Emperor himself would definitely blame him. At that time, he would only blame Li Yuangu who lost the battle, and as for the price he had to pay, it would have nothing to do with him, he was not the Great Lu Dynasty's emperor.

And right now, the more they suffered from Fengjue Country's body, the more they would suffer. At that time, when he extinguishes Fengjue Country's arrogant arrogance, their contributions would naturally increase as well.

Therefore, no matter how he thought about it, it would only bring him benefits.

And because of this, the smile on Minister Wu's face became even more ardent. He wished that the people of Fengjue Country would send the army of the Great Lu Dynasty into a huge defeat right now.

And at the same time, at the border of the Great Lu Dynasty, there were layers of battle clouds. Whether it was the Great Lu Dynasty or the Fengjue Country, they were all sending troops here.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the two nations had a different mindset now. On the other hand, the soldiers of the Fengjue Country were more relaxed, they had grown up on horses, and in their country, they had always respected the law of the jungle, so, to them, battles were a very common thing, a very common thing. Furthermore, for the past ten years, the war between them and the Great Lu Dynasty had never stopped, the only difference was the size of the war.

On the other hand, the soldiers on the side of the Great Lu Dynasty were in a completely different mood, they were all more or less nervous, because, over the years, these soldiers at the border had fought with the people at the Fengjue Country a lot. So, knowing the power of the people at the Fengjue Country, they often suffered losses on the battlefield, and the number of times they lost was even more countless.

Thus, in their hearts, the people of Great Lu Dynasty were afraid of fighting with the people of Fengjue Country.

However, the border was now overcast with dark clouds. Everyone knew that a great battle was about to break out, so even if they were not confident, they could only bite the bullet and charge forward.

"Uncle Niu, I heard that the people from the Fengjue Country all have two heads and four arms. Even if they cut off one of their heads, they won't die, is that true?" On the border of the Great Lu Dynasty and the Fengjue Country, a fifteen to sixteen year old brat asked the uncle beside him curiously and fearfully.

The uncle beside him was smoking. Hearing the kid's words, he smiled and said, "That's right, they are very fierce. Moreover, they like to eat human flesh, especially the tender flesh of a child like you. They like it the most."

Ah!" The few soldiers by the side looked over, but the kid did not notice at all. At this moment, the phrase that had been echoing in his head the entire time: "People of Absolute Wind Empire like to eat human flesh, especially children like him.

The child did not doubt the uncle's words, because in the stories he heard, there were many people who said that the Fengjue Country people were terrifying, that they only ate raw food, and were bleeding. If he heard that they liked to eat human flesh, it was very possible.

"What is it? Are you afraid? " Uncle Niu laughed and said.

Having been in the army for many years, he had experienced many battles. Although he hadn't received any promotion, he had his own way of surviving on the battlefield, which allowed him to survive many times on the battlefield.

"Causing... "Afraid." He was still young, but when he heard how terrifying the people from the Fengjue Country were, he was naturally afraid.

"If you're afraid, then go back and play with the mud." Uncle Niu said.

"This won't do. The lords above forced me to come. People as big as me from our village have all come. The lords said that if anyone dares to run, they will be exterminated." The child said

The smile on Uncle Niu's face gradually disappeared as he looked into the distance and sighed deeply.

As a veteran, even if he was still a soldier, he still knew a lot of information. He knew, this time, both the Great Lu Dynasty side and the Fengjue Country side valued him very highly, because there were already over a hundred thousand troops coming from the Fengjue Country side, and the numbers were still increasing, and there were only less than two hundred thousand troops in the entire Fengjue Country, yet they had actually sent the vast majority of the troops over.

At this critical moment of the negotiation, the Great Lu Dynasty had also placed importance on this matter, and Uncle Niu knew that there was a high ranking official who came from the capital, a position like that was rarely seen, and now, he had actually come to the front lines, showing how much importance he had placed on this matter. Furthermore, the Great Lu Dynasty was constantly increasing their numbers, and when all the soldiers in the vicinity had been mobilized, he had recruited farmers from the surrounding villages and towns to join the army.

This wasn't the first time something like this had happened, so the adult males from the nearby villages had all been recruited. The higher-ups paid a lot of attention this time, so they called some of the weaker and older males into their group. However, Uncle Niu looked at the little kid in front of him who still had a runny nose, and in his heart, he had no confidence in this team's fighting strength.

Just now, although Uncle Niu was purposely scaring this child, the strength of Fengjue Country's army was indeed very strong. Many of Uncle Niu's comrades had died under the hands of those people, and if he knew some way to protect himself, he would have died countless times over already.

And this time, the people of the Fengjue Country still attached great importance to it, so Uncle Niu did not have any confidence in this battle at all. In his heart, he was already wondering when it was time for him to "retreat", and Uncle Niu also knew that in the army, there were many people who had the same idea as him, so no one wanted to face the people of the Fengjue Country.

"Eh?"

Just as Uncle Niu was looking into the dark distance, his brows suddenly jumped. It was as if there was something terrifying in that darkness.

After which, his ears twitched, and he seemed to hear a sharp whistling sound. After which, he saw that there seemed to be many shadows approaching in the air.

"Not good, the people from Fengjue Country are attacking the city!" After that, he wanted to lie on the ground and hide.

However, luck was not on Uncle Niu's side this time. Just as he finished speaking, seven to eight arrows pierced through his throat, chest, and head. Uncle Niu's entire body stiffened, and then he continued to fall as he got used to it.

"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"2

Arrows flew to the top of the city like wasps. The city was in a mess. Some of them were running, some were being shot and some were lying on the ground trembling.

The people from Fengjue Country are here!

The soldiers of the Great Lu Dynasty on the city walls had all realized this and were thrown into chaos. They had thought that the people of the Fengjue Country would come, but they had never expected that it would be so sudden and that they would launch an attack on him in the middle of the night.

The Great Lu Dynasty soldiers who were unprepared were instantly taken aback.

In fact, from this, it could be seen how weak this temporary gathering of troops was. The people of Fengjue Country had already started gathering troops, and would arrive sooner or later, but the people of Great Lu Dynasty were not completely prepared yet, and in the past, the people of Fengjue Country would attack during the daytime, so they did not pay too much attention to it at night. After all, there were very few soldiers who would attack at night, which was not good for the defense of the city, but it was also not good for the offense.

Only, the people of the Fengjue Country seemed to have confidence in their own strength. As soon as they were ready, they started attacking, regardless of whether it was night or day, and the effect was indeed not bad.

The young man who was talking to Uncle Niu just now was lying on the ground, his entire body trembling as he listened to the screams around him, not daring to move at all. Beside him, Uncle Niu, who was talking to him before, was completely lifeless.

The youth who had personally witnessed Uncle Niu's death was extremely afraid. He, who was originally afraid of the people from Fengjue Country because of Uncle Niu's words, was even more afraid now that he had personally witnessed Uncle Niu's miserable death.

The noise outside the city became louder and louder. After a few rounds of arrows, the Fengjue Country's soldiers outside the city seemed to have started to attack the city, and the people inside the city, at this time, already knew the truth behind the attacks.

And after a few rounds of rain of arrows, most of the soldiers on the city walls were already dead, only a few were still alive, and that young man was actually one of the lucky ones. Not only was he not killed by the rain of arrows, he did not even receive any injuries.

Only, this time, he didn't feel the slightest sense of relief, because the battle had just started. He didn't even have the chance to leave the city, and was pulled into the team to participate in the defense of the city.

The great battle between the Fengjue Country and the Great Lu Dynasty had suddenly erupted on this pitch black night. Moreover, it had directly entered a white-hot state from the very beginning.
