I really became a king.

Chapter 345 Game within a game
In this way, Jiang Yi stood on the small hill, and behind him were dozens of people including Dong Chengyang who were still in meditation.

Further out, there were hundreds of thousands of troops including the Eight Tribes of the Sun and the Moon and the Blood-Clothed Guards. With them forming a circle in the middle, the entire scene was silent, and everyone was waiting silently.

Waiting for the final moment to arrive, the whole place was filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

"coming!"

Jiang Yi suddenly looked towards the sky, and saw a group of dark figures emerging out of thin air among the starry sky. They were all wearing red armor and carried a murderous aura.

It was as if there was an invisible staircase, descending from the sky step by step. The team was in perfect alignment, and every step made a neat sound.

Tens of thousands of soldiers in red armor came from the sky with a condescending momentum, just like the legendary heavenly soldiers and generals. They gave people a great sense of pressure and fear of the unknown.

"This way of appearing..."

Jiang Yi's face was solemn. The scene before him reminded him of the mythological world of his previous life, which was beyond his understanding of this world.

Although this world also has ancient legends, they are just legends after all. But the scene before him made him believe that those legends are true.

Compared with the tens of thousands of red-armored troops before them, neither the secular martial arts nor the secluded sects claiming to have immortal methods are worth mentioning at all.

He could even clearly feel that when these tens of thousands of red-armored troops descended like heavenly soldiers and generals, the army formation under his command, which had originally had unparalleled fighting spirit, began to waver.

Although the army's morale had not yet been broken, its momentum had been cut in half.

"I'm afraid this will really be a fierce battle..."

But Jiang Yi did not show such emotion. Instead, he signaled to Ding Ren, and then a burst of exciting and rapid horn sounds were heard. After hearing the horn, the hundreds of thousands of troops who were guarding tightly under the hill automatically made way for a passage.

Jiang Yi gently shook the reins in his hand, and the bullfighting beast under his crotch slowly ran down the mountain.

Qin generals such as Ding Ren and Wang Daniu who were beside him wanted to stop it, but in the end they did nothing. They just patted their mounts lightly and followed closely behind him.

In this way, Jiang Yi walked all the way from the back to the front line of the military peak, and a large black flag moved slowly forward with him.

This large black flag is not the Sun and Moon Battle Flag, but a new flag. Apart from the black background, there is only a large character “Yi” on it.

This was the new flag that Jiang Yi set up for himself after he was granted the title of prince and gained the power to establish his own government.

This was also the first time that the "Yi" character flag appeared in public, and the first appearance was a fierce battle!
Jiang Yi knew in his heart that no matter how difficult or brutal this battle was, the flag with the word "Yi" on it must not fall, so when the army's morale was in turmoil, he chose to go to the forefront of the battle.

The leaders of the Eight Tribes of the Sun and Moon, the leader of the Blood-Cloaked Guard Lu Fan, the flag bearer Ding Ren and other brave generals present also understood this, so when the flag with the character "Yi" moved forward, they all rode their horses slowly to the forefront of the military peak.

As the flag with the character "Yi" on it slowly moved, the army's originally turbulent morale gradually stabilized and momentum began to gather again.

By the time Jiang Yi arrived at the forefront of the military peak, the vanguard of the opposing army of tens of thousands of red-armored soldiers had already landed from the air and began to reorganize and prepare for battle.

Seeing this, Jiang Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that the other party would launch an attack directly from the air, in which case his side would be passive.

It would also intensify the panic of the soldiers under his command. After all, an entire army launching an attack from the sky was unprecedented in the wild continent.

Now that the other side also needs to regroup and prepare for war on the ground, it gives me an opportunity to boost morale.

Jiang Yi also thought about whether he should launch an attack while the enemy was not yet fully assembled, but after looking at the huge cloud in the opposite sky, he gave up in the end.

Moreover, in a battle between two armies, strength is certainly the decisive factor, but momentum is equally important, and sometimes can even determine the final outcome of the battle.

Therefore, the top priority is to boost the morale of the army.

Jiang Yi turned around and faced the army of more than 100,000, glanced from left to right, then lifted the reins in his hand, and the man and the horse began to gallop on the long front line.

Ding Ren took over the flag with the word "Yi" on it and followed closely beside him.

All the soldiers were watching, their eyes following the flag with the character "Yi" on it, because they knew that their commander-in-chief, Prince Yi, was riding under it.

Jiang Yi did not say anything, but just rode his horse back and forth at the forefront of the army. In the silence of the army, the "thump-thump" sound of horse hooves was particularly obvious and clearly reached everyone's ears.

Jiang Yi was dressed in a prince's battle robe, with a bright red cape fluttering in the wind, echoing with the black commander's flag, and catching the eyes of the hundreds of thousands of troops.

Unconsciously, the army's morale, which had been somewhat turbulent, began to calm down again. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers stared motionlessly at the commander's flag fluttering in the wind, and their fighting spirit began to gather again.

This was the closest they had ever been to their own prince, and also the time they saw him most clearly.

After running back and forth along the long Bingfeng Mountain, Jiang Yi stretched out his hand, took the flag with the word Yi in it from Ding Ren's hand, pulled the reins sharply, and jumped onto a towering rock.

Jiang Yi stood holding the reins, holding the general flag with the word "Yi" in his hand, and stopped on the boulder. Here, he was high above, and every one of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers could see him clearly.

He slowly scanned the entire army and said, "I know that when they descended from the sky, many of you were afraid..."

The army of hundreds of thousands was silent, all listening attentively.

"I am afraid too. If someone can come down from the sky, could he be a heavenly soldier or general?"

"But you see, they are not heavenly soldiers and generals. Like us, they will eventually fall to the ground and even need to regroup and prepare for war!"

Having said this, Jiang Yi placed the Yi character flag in his hand on the boulder, and then continued:
"I'm sure many of you have questions in your mind, why are we fighting this battle?"

After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed at Dong Chengyang and others behind the army, and shouted: "Are you fighting for them? I can tell you for sure, no!"

"You all should know that I have been to the Yinshan Secret Realm, but do you know what I saw there?"

"This king has seen humans being enslaved and slaves, as worthless as grass! They are even like livestock, being hunted and kept in captivity by those foreign races..."

Jiang Yi briefly recounted what he had seen and heard in the Yinshan Realm, and his voice gradually became more excited.

"Why is this happening? Because we humans are too weak!"

"Do you know that those powerful foreign races can practice both immortality and martial arts, so they are extremely powerful! But we humans can't, and can only survive under their hunting..."

"Why is it so? Because those foreign races in the wilderness, in addition to the ways of immortality and martial arts, also have the ways of literary cultivation! This is the only thing that makes them different from us humans!"

"What are the masters of literature? I can tell you clearly that it is them, the book craftsmen in your eyes!" "They are the hope of mankind's masters of literature!"

"If Emperor Wenzong does not come forward, mankind will never rise again!"

“After these book craftsmen wake up from their meditation, I don’t know whether they will be able to open up the path of cultivation for mankind, but I am willing to take a gamble!”

"Because once they awaken to the Way of Wen Zong, we humans will never be the same again! Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, I will fight a great battle, just to ensure that we humans will no longer be slaves!"

"Otherwise, when the foreign races from the Yinshan Secret Realm descend on the Wilderness Continent one day, we will be enslaved!"

“So, you are not fighting for these book craftsmen, but for yourself, for your loved ones, and for future generations!”

"Fight for humanity!"

At this point, Jiang Yi's voice became a little low.

"In this battle, the outcome is unknown, life and death are unpredictable, but this king is not afraid of life or death. As long as I can find a glimmer of hope for humanity, I will die with no regrets!"

At this moment, the tens of thousands of red-armored troops that were rumored to have completed their preparations for battle, and the sound of war drums pierced the sky.

Jiang Yi looked back at the Red Armor Army that had begun to slowly advance, and then looked back at the entire army: "They are coming... In this battle, are you willing to go with me?"

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers knelt on one knee and responded loudly: "We are willing to go with you, my Lord!"

The army's morale is united and their fighting spirit is unparalleled!
Jiang Yi knew that the time for a decisive battle had come. He threw the flag with the character "Yi" on it to Ding Ren and slowly drew out the sun and moon wheels behind him.

The half-moon is shining, the light is flowing, and the dark green light is shining in the night sky.

As if it was a signal, the moment Jiang Yi drew out the Sun and Moon Wheels, the sound of "clang" was endless, and the entire hill was shrouded in a green light.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred. The cloud that was originally floating quietly above the red-armored army on the opposite side suddenly sounded like thundering war drums, and then nearly 100,000 red-armored soldiers descended from the sky.

Just like before, he stepped down into the air step by step, and without reorganizing his army on the ground, he fell directly behind the tens of thousands of red-armored soldiers in front.

On top of a distant mountain, two mysterious shadows watched this scene with satisfaction.

"You have thought it through carefully. But why did you send out hundreds of thousands of red-armored troops?" the shadow of the old woman's voice asked curiously.

You know, before the stone plate was officially activated, they all thought that there were only thousands of soldiers guarding the scholars of mankind, and there was no need to mobilize so many troops.

Deploying tens of thousands of people was beyond her expectations, but her companions simply came out in full force.

The mysterious man smiled bitterly, but did not say much. He just said, "It was purely an accident..."

The shadow behind the old woman's voice said with a knowing tone: "You even hid it from me? You want to deal with those scholars and then get rid of Prince Yi and his Sun and Moon Army at the same time, right?"

The man did not deny it and replied, "Yes, this Prince Yi is too dangerous, and he has 100,000 Sun and Moon Dual Wheels under his command. If he really came to Western Xinjiang, I'm afraid it would affect our layout."

"But I didn't expect that before I could go find him, he came in by himself, which saved me the trouble of a long trip..."

The mysterious old woman looked a little solemn, and said: "This Prince Yi is probably not easy to deal with. I don't know what he said. The morale of the army of hundreds of thousands was greatly boosted. He is a tough nut to crack."

The mysterious man also felt a little regretful, because this precious stone plate could only transmit real-time images but could not hear any sound.

But he didn't care and smiled: "As long as we can deal with this Prince Yi and his 100,000 Sun and Moon Army, everything will be worth it."

"It doesn't matter if all these red-armored soldiers die. At most, they can be trained again. After all, the last thing this wild continent lacks is humans..."

"What if you fail? You should have a backup plan, right?" The mysterious old woman suddenly asked as she looked at the scene on the stone plate.

The mysterious man glanced at her and said with a smile, "It's okay even if he fails. I'm afraid there won't be many troops left under Prince Yi. Someone will naturally deal with him then!"

The old woman's expression changed and she asked, "Have you contacted the Dali Imperial Capital in advance?" She felt a little unhappy that she was not informed of such a big thing.

The mysterious man didn't care at all and said with a smile: "After all, there are people who are just like us, hoping for Prince Yi's death, and they are also very envious of the Sun and Moon Wheels... In this respect, we are natural allies!"

"Originally, I thought that after killing these scholars, the Red Armor Army would make a long raid to Kongtong Mountain, and then the enemy would take advantage of the heavy damage to Prince Yi's Palace to seize power and take back the Sun and Moon Wheels."

"If we follow this plan, there might be some changes along the way, but now Prince Yi has fallen into the trap, saving a lot of trouble."

The mysterious man didn't seem to notice the old woman's unchanging expression, or maybe he noticed it but didn't care at all, and continued to laugh to himself: "Haha, no matter what, this Prince Yi will never come to Western Xinjiang..."

"Humph, whether you really want to exile yourself or establish your own clan, Xijiang is destined to no longer belong to your Dali royal family... and it can no longer accommodate the bloodline of the Dali royal family!"

The mysterious old woman looked even more unhappy, and she secretly sighed in her heart, what a game within a game! If nothing unexpected happens, this Prince Yi will probably never be able to come to Western Xinjiang again.

Not only will he be unable to come to Western Xinjiang, but after tonight, all his wings will be clipped in one fell swoop. Even if he is lucky enough to survive, without the 100,000 Sun and Moon Wheels, it will take him an unknown amount of time to make a comeback.

This game within a game is simple and crude, but effective.

Once defeated, the opponent will be beheaded, everything will naturally end ahead of time, and Prince Yi's Palace on Kongtong Mountain will disappear into thin air.

If they win, it will surely be a pyrrhic victory, with their strength greatly damaged, and the outcome will be similar, or even worse. I'm afraid that as soon as they return to Wusheng Ridge, someone will seize power at lightning speed.

If things go wrong, you might end up being a prisoner, where life would be worse than death.

There is no solution to this game within a game!

Unless the opponent can secure victory in this battle at a small cost and his army remains unscathed, he will naturally have the capital to resist others from seizing power.

But is this possible? It is impossible. She knows the terrifying combat power of the red-armored army trained by her companions.

Seeing her companions' secretly smug expressions, the mysterious old woman was also unhappy, but she didn't say anything. She just said in a cold voice: "The war is about to begin. I hope your red-armored army will not disappoint us..."

The entire mountain top thus returned to calm again, and the two mysterious shadows immediately focused their attention on the actual scene.

The old woman suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did you deliberately leak the operation of Wushengling to Zhu Wuyan?"
