CHAPTER 1023: CHAPTER 1023: KING, PLEASE LET ME GO TO BATTLE

Xiao Zheng ordered the Sky Net soldiers to gather the war horses scattered on the battlefield. After counting, they found there were a total of ten thousand horses.

If not for the fact that in the earlier battles, many horses had their hooves severed by Sky Net warriors, this number could have been even larger.

However, at that time, everyone was focused solely on driving the enemy back, naturally disregarding other matters.

After Long Qie and others had collected all these horses, they came to ask Xiao Zheng how they should be distributed.

Xiao Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Divide these war horses into two parts, give five thousand to Brother Dugu’s Futu Army, and select five thousand elite from my Sky Net troops to distribute the rest."

Dugu Baitian was surprised and said, "You’re giving five thousand war horses to me?"

Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "Your Futu Army is the strongest in combat among us. Giving the horses to you will enhance your combat power, increasing our chances of victory."

Dugu Baitian sighed, "The Evil God has an extraordinary magnanimity."

Everyone has a selfish side.

Dugu Baitian, within the Sky Net’s army, can only be considered an ally, not one of their own. Yet Xiao Zheng is willing to give him five thousand war horses; achieving this requires great vision.

Xiao Zheng merely laughed heartily, then instructed everyone to rest for an hour before gathering a group of generals. He called Gongsun Wuliang and said, "Bring the map of America."

Xiao Zheng unfolded the map and said to everyone, "Look, this is the terrain of the American Continent. We are located here, on the west coast of the American Continent. Ahead, the terrain starts to become complex, with a huge mountain range where peaks rise steeply, full of various valleys and mountain paths, the terrain is exceptionally complex."

"Beyond this large mountainous area is a plain, albeit a small one. Beyond this plain lies a vast primal Ice and Snow Jungle. Although it’s summer, this jungle is covered in ice and snow, cold, dangerous, and terrifying!"

"Moreover, it’s worth noting that the location of this Ice and Snow Jungle is very high in elevation, almost a mountainous region itself, only covered by those towering old trees."

"Now that it is summer, with the ice and snow melting, heading south from this Ice and Snow Jungle, countless tiny streams converge to form a magnificent large river, winding down, almost comparable to our Hua Country’s Yangtze River and Yellow River."

After introducing all these, Xiao Zheng said in a deep voice, "Mountains, plains, jungles, large rivers, such a vast and complex terrain, is precisely our battlefield. What ideas do you have?"

Titan suggested, "Mr. Xiao, I have an idea. Since we arrived on this American Continent ahead of the Demon Shield Bureau, we can enter the mountains and ambush on both sides of their necessary path. If their army attacks, we can strike from both sides, causing them heavy losses!"

Gongsun Wuliang frowned and said, "In the Demon Shield Bureau, Steel Man, Iron Wolf, and Sikureijeman are all remarkable figures. They will definitely notice our ambush traces, we must be cautious."

Titan grinned and said, "I will willingly be the bait to lure them into the trap."

Everyone looked at Titan in surprise.

Long Qie, with a heavy expression, advised, "In the previous battle at the Sky Net Camp, you killed an unknown number of biochemical warriors from the Demon Shield Bureau. Now you’re probably the most hated by the entire Demon Shield Bureau, aside from Mr. Xiao! If you go as bait, although it may succeed, if they pursue in rage, you too will be in great danger! This is risky."

Titan laughed heartily, filled with heroic spirit, saying, "As long as I can kill the enemy on the battlefield, what is a little danger worth?" Titan stepped forward, half-kneeling before Xiao Zheng, loudly saying, "My king, please permit me to go to battle!"

Xiao Zheng pondered for a long time and said, "Alright!"

Titan rejoiced.

Long Qie and others, seeing that they could not dissuade Titan, could only give up.

An hour later, Xiao Zheng ordered everyone to head towards the front mountain area. The mountain range extended endlessly, with complex terrains, only a single road passed through, and other places were natural barriers, covered with ice and snow, difficult to traverse.

Xiao Zheng and the main army rumbled past, quickly arriving at a large valley. Xiao Zheng looked around and said, "This is a good place, we can attack or defend from here, let’s set our ambush here."

He ordered Dugu Baitian to lead five thousand men to ambush on the left side of the valley, while Xiao Zheng and Long Qie led five thousand to ambush on the right side. The ten thousand war horses couldn’t climb up, so Xiao Zheng ordered Gongsun Wuliang to take these horses and the remaining Sky Net soldiers to wait on the plain ahead.

Titan led three thousand men, stationed outside the valley, waiting for the Demon Shield Bureau’s army to attack.

Before long, Titan felt the ground slightly tremble. Looking ahead, he saw dust rising in the distance, an immense army slowly approaching.

"They’re here." Titan took a deep breath.

The Demon Shield Bureau has now changed their combat strategy, determined to implement a decapitation tactic! So at this moment, several S-grade masters are gathered together rather than leading the troops. The task of leading the army was handed to those under their command, the A-grade, B-grade masters.

Sikureijeman was the overall commander of these armies. Although not strong, his commanding ability was amazing. Leading over a hundred thousand troops posed no problem.

Leading the army, they moved slowly. At this moment, his complexion was unpleasant because he had just gathered some remnants and learned that Xiao Zheng had defeated their assembled cavalry here, capturing many war horses.

While pondering, Sikureijeman suddenly saw Titan leading his army, blocking him ahead. Furious, Sikureijeman gritted his teeth, "Titan, you dare appear before me again!"

Titan laughed, "Why wouldn’t I dare? You are an old fool, my defeated foe. Shouldn’t you be the one who dares not appear before me?"

"Defeated foe?" Sikureijeman was so angry that he laughed, "Last time was just your luck, this time it’s different, you have no chance!"

Titan, voice booming, laughed mockingly, "Is it? Then come and try."

Sikureijeman said no more and immediately ordered ten thousand troops to charge at Titan’s army. Titan roared, meeting them.

The two armies clashed fiercely, the sky darkened, bodies littered the ground, rivers of blood flowed, it was extremely brutal.

Sikureijeman saw Titan fighting a death battle against ten thousand troops, and a thought struck him, "Ah, Xiao Zheng and his men have escaped beyond the mountain range, leaving this Titan to block my Demon Shield Bureau."
