Words Strategize for the World

Lai Fengwu was stabbed in the abdomen by a spear, which greatly alarmed Fang Hao. Fang Hao had no choice but to rush to Lai Fengwu's aid, disregarding the ongoing battle with Li Tianyi, but this action made Li Tianyi feel insulted.

"Hmph, you look down on me so much, I'll see just how much you're worth."

After speaking, Li Tianyi immediately picked up his heavy knife and chased after them.

Fang Hao hadn't run more than a few steps when he heard heavy footsteps behind him, so he quickly turned around. Just then, the character "dragon" he had written took shape. And so, a five-meter-long golden dragon, with overwhelming momentum, attacked Li Tianyi.

Li Tianyi had never seen a five-meter-long golden dragon before. Just in case, he quickly stopped and assumed a defensive stance to withstand the dragon's attack.

Seeing Li Tianyi stop, Fang Hao quickly wrote the character "dragon" again and attacked the soldiers next to Lai Fengwu.

With two loud "bangs," Li Tianyi took a big step back, while all the soldiers who were close to Lai Fengwu were knocked away.

The injured Lai Fengwu was given a precious chance to catch her breath.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Fang Hao rushed to Lai Fengwu's side and shielded him behind him.

"My lord, I..."

Lai Fengwu felt very guilty. He had failed to protect Fang Hao and had instead become a burden to him.

"No need for further words. Since we came to this banquet together, we must leave together."

Fang Hao's clean and concise words filled Lai Fengwu, who was feeling somewhat down, with renewed confidence.

"Very well, it is my honor to fight alongside my lord. I will fight alongside my lord to the very end."

Fang Hao glanced at Lai Fengwu and saw that he was full of confidence and high spirits, so he felt relieved.

"Alright, Feng Wu, let's kill them together."

Fang Hao waved his hand, and the golden sword and shield flew over.

"Kid, you're trying to run away before our fight is even over?"

Li Tianyi caught up quickly, deeply resentful that Fang Hao had abandoned his fight to rescue Fengwu.

"Outnumbered and powerful, how shameless. But don't worry, we'll definitely have another chance to fight."

Lai Fengwu was seriously injured. If they could buy some time for Yuan Kang and his men to break in, that would be best. Therefore, Fang Hao didn't mind chatting with Li Tianyi a little longer.

Outside the hall, the faint sounds of battle shouts were getting closer and closer; they must be arriving soon.

"Hmph, don't say I didn't give you a chance. You either beat me and I'll let you go, or you surrender. You have no other choice."

Li Tianyi's words were extremely arrogant, which made Fang Hao furious, wishing he could knock the other man to the ground immediately. But he had to stay calm; the situation was very unfavorable for them.

"Yes, Fang Hao, you'd better surrender now, and I can still plead with Commander Li to spare your life."

Before Fang Hao could reply, Prefect Liu stepped forward and spoke up.

"Hmph, you're a weasel-faced coward. You're a mere county magistrate, what a disgrace to you! You're nothing but a turtle and a bastard."

After saying that, Fang Hao turned to Li Tianyi and said, "Fine, since you want to fight, then I'll beat you down first."

Just as Prefect Liu was about to say something, Li Tianyi stopped him, took two steps forward, and said, "Hmph, do you think I'm afraid of you? Do you think you can defeat me just because you won a small victory? You won't have another chance."

Li Tianyi's arrogant attitude displeased Fang Hao, so he took a few steps forward and came to the middle of the standoff between the two sides, ready to fight him.

No matter how powerful the other party is, just his arrogant and haughty demeanor makes you want to beat him up.

"Bang!"

Before Li Tianyi could make a move, the hall door was kicked open.

A group of people rushed in and surrounded everyone in the hall.

Tian Ming and Xu Feng quickly approached Fang Hao and said, "My lord, we are late."

"Good, we're here. Let's break out right away."

With Tian Ming and Xu Feng arriving, Lai Fengwu will be safe. Besides, having backup will make it much easier to break out.

Fang Hao could finally relax.

Seeing Tian Ming and Xu Feng storm in, Li Tianyi said calmly, "If you want to fight your way out today, you'll have to get past me first."

"Hahaha, Commander-in-Chief Li, the situation has reversed now, and I won't let you leave. You, Commander-in-Chief, can go to hell. Kill them."

As soon as Fang Hao gave the order, Xu Feng's sword and shield squad immediately launched an attack.

The hall, which had quieted down somewhat, was filled with shouts of battle once again.

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals; as everyone else moved, Fang Hao moved too. He used his consciousness to control the golden sword, swiftly attacking Li Tianyi.

"Alright, let's go then, and see who kills whom first."

After saying that, Li Tianyi charged forward with his heavy sword in hand.

Li Tianyi's heavy sword moved with wide, sweeping strokes, constantly parrying Fang Hao's golden sword attacks, and slowly approaching him.

Fang Hao used his consciousness to control the golden knife and kept a distance from Li Tianyi, which thwarted Li Tianyi's plan to kill Fang Hao quickly.

As Fang Hao deliberately kept his distance, the battle between the two quickly became intense.

Shouts of battle and screams of agony echoed throughout the hall. Soldiers under Liu Juncheng were falling down every moment, as were Fang Hao's men.

When Liu Juncheng's soldiers were killed, they suffered a setback, which led to a drop in morale. When Tian Ming and Xu Feng arrived, seeing that there were more than 200 people, their morale plummeted even further.

Tian Ming and Xu Feng, on the other hand, were eager to protect their leader and were in high spirits. In comparison, the battle became one-sided.

Soon, the soldiers who were putting up a stubborn resistance were all killed, leaving only the staff to protect Liu, the Prefect, and hold out against the enemy.

The scholar-looking advisor was indeed a skilled man, showing no mercy when it came to killing.

Seeing that several of his own soldiers had been killed by his staff, Tian Ming quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow at him.

The arrow flew swiftly from the bow towards his advisor, who was busy fighting the enemy and had no time to dodge before being struck by the arrow.

Upon seeing his advisor, who was protecting him, die from an arrow wound, Prefect Liu shouted and then sat down heavily on the ground.

"It's over, it's over..."

Once this matter was resolved, only the battle between Fang Hao and Li Tianyi continued.

Li Tianyi focused his efforts on attacking Fang Hao, but he couldn't get close to Fang Hao.

The more Li Tianyi fought, the more alarmed he became, because the longer it took for Fang Hao's reinforcements to arrive, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

When Tian Ming and his group finished their battle, Li Tianyi stopped as soon as he saw that things were not going well.

"Commander-in-Chief Li, you're all alone now. What do you think I should do with you?"

As soon as Li Tianyi stopped, Fang Hao said to him with a hint of sarcasm.

"Hmph, even if I'm the only one left, you can't catch me. If I want to leave, you can't stop me."

Li Tianyi's words make a lot of sense. With his strength, no one but Fang Hao can really stop him, unless Fang Hao orders people to pile up on him.

Fang Hao secretly made a hand gesture to Tian Ming, signaling him to be ready to fire an arrow at any moment.

Now is not the time to be soft-hearted.

The Ba Kingdom's army is nearby. If Li Tianyi is allowed to leave, then all 280 of them will have to stay in Hexia County.

"I never thought Commander Li would be afraid. He just called Prefect Liu a turtle, but it turns out Commander Li is a turtle too, a cowardly one at that, haha..."

In order to buy Tian Ming time to prepare, Fang Hao planned to provoke him first.

"You... Hmph, fine, Fang Hao, right? I'll remember you. I'll definitely cut your head off someday."

Li Tianyi was completely unaffected by Fang Hao's provocation. As soon as he stopped speaking, he immediately activated his Fire Refining Steel Body technique and turned to flee.

"Release the arrows."

Seeing Li Tianyi flee, Fang Hao shouted to fire arrows. Tian Ming and the others were also fast, but the accuracy of the arrows they fired in their haste was not guaranteed.

Amid the chaos, several arrows struck Li Tianyi, but he deflected them with his taut muscles.

Upon seeing this, Fang Hao immediately wrote the character "定" (ding).

But Li Tianyi, focused on escaping, moved very quickly and arrived at the entrance of the hall in just a few breaths.

Seeing that Li Tianyi was about to escape from the hall, Fang Hao was extremely anxious. If Li Tianyi escaped, how would they escape from Hexia County?
