Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1071

Chapter 1071: Chapter 1065: Governing with an Iron Fist

The black sail and white python flag of Zhou flapped wildly in the snow-laden cold wind. Behind the masked man was a vast and endless army of Zhou’s black-armored cavalry, majestic and imposing, like a giant beast awakening in the wind and snow, revealing its claws and fangs, daring no one to oppose its might.

Sal Khan clenched his fist and slightly raised his chin to look at the sudden black line on the horizon. In the midst of the blizzard, he seemed to hear the uniform marching of Zhou’s army. He was unsure of Zhou’s intentions, and a sense of anxiety suddenly arose in his heart.

Although today is the Four-Nation Alliance, there’s no guarantee that Zhou and Yan might not unite to launch an attack.

Such weather is not favorable for the Elephant Army to fight. Elephants fear the cold and have never experienced battling in snow before, perhaps they might not cooperate.

"Prepare for battle!" Sal Khan shouted loudly.

Before the soldiers beside Sal Khan went to relay the order, Sal Khan saw the man leading the troops in front raise his hand, and instantly tens of thousands of soldiers stood still, like black stones in the wind, unmoving and synchronized.

Sal Khan called back the soldiers preparing to pass on the command for defense, looked deeply at them, and instructed, "Order quietly, prepare for unexpected events."

"Yes!" The soldier quickly jogged off to deliver the message.

Zhou has come prepared!

Sal Khan clenched his fist. He had read "The Complete History of the Yan," "The History of Jin," and "The Political History of Xiliang." He knew that on this land, whenever there was an alliance between nations, soldiers would cease fighting as a basic moral principle.

Yet now, Zhou had arrived with a heavy military presence, forcing Sal Khan to be on guard anew, even as their Elephant Army hibernated in the unfavorable weather.

Not long after, from the west, heavy-armored cavalry, overwhelming the sky like a dark cloud, also began to appear. The black bird and blue sparrow flag of Yan flapped fiercely in the wind as Yan’s Great General Xie Xun led the troops out like a black tide, stopping not far away, grand and magnificent.

This is the Four-Nation Alliance, but it was different from what Sal Khan anticipated, and it was not quite the same as recorded in history.

In historical alliances, each nation’s monarch would bring troops, but never had the armies been so close.

Seemingly in an instant, Sal Khan felt the pressure coming head-on. Zhou... Yan, neither seemed easy to deal with.

Still wishing to maintain a leading position, Sal Khan instructed the cavalry beside him, "Send some people to both sides, invite Zhou and Yan’s emperors to the tent, and tell them... it’s very warm inside."

Two groups of cavalry took the orders and galloped towards the west and north. Sal Khan turned to look at the Great Shaman’s disciple, speaking to him, "Today’s formation seems unlikely to happen a second time, you must observe clearly... which of the emperors of Yan and Zhou truly rules this land."

The Great Shaman’s disciple bowed respectfully to Sal Khan, "Rest assured, Your Majesty! It’s just... even if we figure it out today, considering Zhou and Yan’s formation with their troops, it won’t be easy to make a move!"

"Not being able to act today isn’t the problem. What matters most is to know who it is so we can prepare for the future!" Sal Khan replied.

Li Tianfu, after grooming her eyebrows, donned a fiery red fox fur cape and emerged from the tent, heading towards the alliance tent. Seeing Sal Khan standing outside waiting for Bai Qingyan and the young emperor of Yan, she went straight into the tent where the fire burned vigorously.

The carriages stopped, and Zhou’s soldiers escorted Liu Rushi and Shen Jingzhong, as well as Shen Tianzhi, off the chariot. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
