Words Strategize for the World

200 meters, normally takes less than 30 seconds. When running desperately, it can probably break the record, reaching the destination in just over 20 seconds.

Now it's time for Fang Hao and all his soldiers to break the record.

Although they only ran about a mile, there was no time to think about anything else when they were escaping for their lives; they had to fight desperately. As a result, almost everyone felt like their lungs were about to explode.

The sound of heavy breathing filled the air, yet they still couldn't widen the distance between themselves and the cavalry behind them.

The army of the Hegemon Kingdom truly deserves to be called the strongest army in the entire Yongping Continent.

The cavalry charged with incredible speed, like a torrent, unstoppable.

The cavalrymen, clad in black armor, had sharp eyes and a chilling aura. Looking at the Chi Kingdom soldiers fleeing like prey, they wanted to annihilate all 300 of them.

In ancient battlefields, cavalry was almost the nemesis of infantry, let alone the large number of troops in the Hegemon Kingdom's army.

In order to keep an eye on the more than 300 soldiers, Fang Hao, Lai Fengwu, and the mounted scouts did not run too fast.

"what……"

Suddenly, a scream rang out, and the last soldier was killed by the Hegemon cavalry. Only a scream was heard; no other sound followed.

The Ba Kingdom's army was already behind them, and at this moment they were still at least 200 meters away from the mountains and forests.

We cannot allow the Hegemon's army to continue its relentless slaughter, otherwise it will be impossible for us to enter the mountains.

There are almost no capable people available now, so Fang Hao gritted his teeth and decided to take it upon himself to hone his skills.

Swords have no eyes, and Fang Hao had no choice but to take this risky move out of desperation.

"Lai Fengwu, you quickly lead the men into the mountains, I'll cover the rear."

He turned his horse around and charged towards the Ba Kingdom's army behind him.

During the process, Fang Hao's brushstrokes moved like dragons and snakes, forming a dragon in an instant. A 5-meter-long golden dragon roared and attacked the foremost cavalrymen of the Hegemon Kingdom.

After the golden dragon took shape, Fang Hao did not stop. He continued to write, and soon three more golden dragons charged towards the Hegemon Kingdom.

"There's a refined gentleman nearby, everyone be careful..."

A soldier from the Hegemon Kingdom was shocked to see Fang Hao instantly write a dragon. He shouted, but before he could finish speaking, the dragon had already attacked.

"Bang, bang, bang"

Four consecutive sounds rang out as the front-line cavalry of the Hegemon Kingdom were struck by the golden dragon, and then the soldiers and their horses all fell to the ground.

"Hissing sound..."

There are no dragons in this world. Whether it is the soldiers of the Hegemon Kingdom or their warhorses, they are all terrified when they see a golden dragon.

Cavalry relies on speed to charge. Now that the cavalry at the front has fallen, it directly affects the cavalry behind. Many cavalrymen who are following closely behind are tripped up by the fallen warhorses and soldiers.

In an instant, the entire army of the Hegemon Kingdom was thrown into chaos and had to halt their charge.

The only one who stood out was a very capable military officer.

As the golden dragon attacked him, he cleaved it to pieces with his longsword. When the cavalrymen on both sides of the Hegemon Kingdom fell to the ground, he pulled on his warhorse, and the horse neighed loudly before rearing up.

When the warhorse's front legs touched the ground, he and the warhorse were unharmed.

Fang Hao reined in his horse and stopped in place, watching the opposing general's domineering and elegant horse control skills with envy. At the same time, facing a large cavalry force from the Hegemon Kingdom alone, Fang Hao was also very panicked, but he forced himself to remain calm and his expression was normal.

Just as he was racking his brains for a solution, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind. Fang Hao turned around and saw that it was Lai Fengwu riding up on horseback.

"Feng Wu, with this crisis at hand, why did you come?"

"My lord's affection for me is as solid as a mountain. How could I abandon him and flee for my life alone? I cannot do it."

Since he was already there, Fang Hao figured he might as well accept it. Having subordinates who would follow him through crises and hardships showed that he still had some personal charisma, and it would also increase their loyalty.

Upon seeing the elegant young general in his white battle robes standing alone in front of them, blocking their path, the Ba Guo cavalry, unable to continue their charge, had no choice but to stop.

Soon, the more than 300 people who had fled had entered the mountains and forests, and a person followed the young man.

The general of the Hegemon Kingdom glanced at the two men, feeling somewhat disdainful. Although one of them was a refined scholar, he was not a threat at all. He hadn't even taken the 300 who had fled seriously, let alone a young scholar.

"A refined scholar? Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect that the remnants of Liangjiang County in this Blazing Kingdom would still have a refined scholar. Very good. If you surrender now, I may spare your life."

Fang Hao was somewhat displeased by the contemptuous tone of the general from the Hegemonic Kingdom. However, he also knew that the initiative was currently in the hands of the other side, so his words were not unreasonable.

You may lose the fight, but you must not lose your spirit; you can be weak in terms of physical strength, but you cannot be weak in terms of morale.

"Who are you? If you want me to surrender, beat me first."

The general of the Hegemon Kingdom was slightly taken aback by Fang Hao's words, not expecting that this young, white-robed scholar would have the audacity to speak like that.

"Hahaha... Interesting. I am Zhao Jun, the Loyal and Trustworthy Colonel of the Hegemon Kingdom. You seem to have quite the courage. State your name, for I do not kill nameless ghosts."

A captain is at least a county-level official. Fang Hao was a little worried, but having come this far, any retreat would only invite ridicule from the world.

"Hahaha, I am Fang Hao, a refined scholar from the Blazing Kingdom. How can the warriors of the Blazing Kingdom be cowards? How can we know the outcome without fighting?"

Zhao Jun was somewhat angry. Knowing that he was a general-level scholar, how dare he challenge him? He was truly courting death.

"Alright, alright, I'll give you that chance. If you can beat me, I'll let you go; if you lose, then you'll become a ghost under my blade."

After speaking, Zhao Jun was about to step forward when he heard a voice behind him: "Commander, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? How can a mere scholar be a match for him? Let me teach him a lesson."

Upon seeing that the speaker was his capable subordinate, Chief Yang Qiangkun, Zhao Jun nodded and said, "Alright, go and teach him a lesson, let him know what his place is."

Yang Qiangkun, holding a long spear, took two steps forward and pointed at Fang Hao: "You call yourself a greenhorn? You think you can get a captain to deal with you? Today I'll show you what true power is."

Yang Qiangkun ignored Fang Hao's reaction and spurred his horse to charge towards him.

The sound of horses' hooves thundered, and spears pointed in all directions.

Yang Qiangkun wielded his spear with incredible speed, reaching Fang Hao's side in just a few breaths.

Fang Hao guessed that the other party was probably a martial artist of about the general level, so he was not afraid at all.

The army of the Hegemon Kingdom flooded the two rivers, causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in the city. Such a heinous act is no different from a massacre. Now, we have challenged their general to a duel; we must dampen their spirits.

Therefore, he absolutely cannot lose.

As Yang Qiangkun began his charge, Fang Hao started writing the character "防" (defense) in seal script. With defense secured, Fang Hao continued writing the character "定" (steadfastness).

Just as the character "定" (ding) took shape, Yang Qiangkun rushed to Fang Hao's side. He brandished his spear, ready to thrust it out, but the character "定" shattered, and he stood motionless in place.

When two people fight, their warhorses charge at extremely high speeds, and to stop, one must first slow down before being able to come to a complete halt.

But Fang Hao's word "fixed" brought the other party to an instant, without any inertia whatsoever. This completely violated the laws of physics.

The immense power of words is evident.

This is the charm of the power of words, and the source of the strength of the refined scholar.

After Yang Qiangkun was immobilized, Fang Hao continued to write the character "dragon". When the golden dragon took shape and attacked Yang Qiangkun, he was able to break free from the immobilized character, but by then the golden dragon had already attacked.

The five-meter-long golden dragon was incredibly beautiful. If Yang Qiangkun were hit by it, he would undoubtedly be defeated.
