"This time, it's not going to be easy." Someone commented.
The others nodded in agreement.
In the arena, Hua Ruge did not plan on using any tricks, as soon as he entered the arena, he raised his hand slightly, and all the soldiers stopped on their horses.
Gu Lin urged his horse forward, and asked: "Does the viscount have any plans?"
"On standby. Train the soldiers." Hua Ruge said.
Gu Lin was startled. "Practice now?"
Hua Ruge nodded his head, "Since Shang You Qing's entire nation is involved in this gamble, he's definitely nervous. Since we haven't shown ourselves for a long time, when they have been on tenterhooks for too long, they would naturally panic."
"The viscount is wise." Gu Lin loudly agreed.
The soldiers started to practice as they got closer to Hua Ruge to complete the drills.
Hua Ruge laid down on a tree branch and casually picked up a leaf and carried it in his mouth. He observed his training and gave pointers at the right time.
The spectators were all stunned. Wasn't it a bit too late to train troops after this match?
Although it would take some time for Shang You to reach here, it shouldn't take long for Hua Ruge to accept the challenge.
The emperor of Great Zheng frowned and could not help but ask Tuoba Yu: "What is she doing?"
Tuoba Yu thought for a moment, then said, "Reporting to royal father, this son does not know."
Although he was the one who recommended her, Hua Ruge did not say anything before he went up on stage.
The emperor's gaze was solemn as he clenched his hand tightly under the dragon robe.
The fourth prince, Tuoba, said, "It's not that she can't make it. This is going to affect twenty-eight cities."
"Could it be that Fourth Imperial Brother is confident enough to make it out personally?" Tuoba Yu was still as gentle as jade, but his words were not as friendly.
This kind of person who stood there and spoke without feeling anything was especially annoying.
"I'm not sure, and I wouldn't gamble so much land." Tuoba Ze snorted.
Tuoba Yu's face was a little ugly, but he had always had a good life ahead of the emperor. He calmed the displeasure in his heart and said calmly, "Let's take a gamble.
"So what if we bet? What does royal brother want to bet?" Tuoba Ze said with a fearless expression.
"I bet that the Lord of The Wah will return victorious. If she loses, I am willing to give my three cities' fiefdom to Fourth Brother." Tuoba Yu said indifferently.
The manor of the prince of the Great Zheng was the largest. It consisted of three fertile cities.
Tuoba Ze's eyes lit up. "It's a deal."
Because Tuoba Yu was the direct descendant of the Empress and had a more respected identity, the feudal fiefdom was better than his. He had always been jealous, but he never thought that Tuoba Yu would actually be willing to take it out to gamble.
Therefore, he added, "If she wins, I'll give you my three cities as well."
"No need." Tuoba Yu shook his head slightly, stared at him and said word by word: "If younger brother luckily wins, I can only hope that royal brother will take the lead in going up to congratulate Lord of The Wah when it's time, and also hear someone discussing about Lord of The Wah from today onwards. I have to praise her, and can't avoid them."
To him, it was much more important to vent his anger on behalf of his friends than to the other three cities.
Tuoba thought for a moment and said, "Alright, it's a deal."
Su Nianxia who was sitting in the back seat was woken up by the two. After hearing what was said, he said to Tuoba Yu, "We will definitely win. Let's see what kind of behavior that guy has."
Tuoba Yu nodded, he had confidence in Hua Ruge as well.
Looking at the troops that Hua Ruge was leading, the possibility of winning was very low. Once he lost, not only would he win Tuoba Yu's land, his future prestige would also be very high.
As for the lost land in the country, he wasn't worried about it, since there was Tuoba Rui in the Great Zheng Empire. Although their royal uncle didn't really care about expanding his territory, he didn't want his country to suffer losses, so when the time came, he would take back all the lost land.
On the other side of the field, Hua Ruge watched the soldiers practice for a while. After he saw these soldiers with decent physical fitness had mastered the techniques, he said, "It's time to go into hiding."
Therefore, the soldiers put away their crossbows in unison and began to disguise themselves as more soldiers.
Hua Ruge was lying on the branch the whole time, looking relaxed.
The soldiers were very confident and in good shape when they saw her.
The soldiers on the other side, who had been ambushed, hid themselves in the woods. Their bodies and their branches immediately surrounded them. However, their camouflage was still not realistic enough because of the short amount of time they had.
Of course, Hua Ruge would not give them the chance to get any closer.
Upper Nether Realm knew that Hua Ruge had a lot of tricks up his sleeves, so they marched the entire way. They did not want to give Hua Ruge a chance to prepare, so they kept on sending their horses up to investigate.
Hua Ruge laid on the tree branch. As soon as he saw the stallion peek out, he immediately shot a silver needle at it. The stallions all fell down their horses and died.
Since Upper Nether Realm could not obtain any news, they could only continue forward with their faces covered.
Shang You's general was not an idiot. He knew that the morale of the troops couldn't be messed up and had to end the battle quickly. Thus, he quickly made his way to the battlefield, preparing to clash head-on with Hua Ruge.
From afar, the flag of Upper Nether was approaching, and more than a dozen stallions were galloping over.
Hua Ruge hid his body amidst the leaves, watching the situation below and pondering.
Because they were very close, now that they had killed the scouts, the troops from Upper Nether Realm would definitely be able to see them. If they didn't kill them, the scouts would be able to see traces of hoof prints and people's existence.
She narrowed her eyes, brought her two fingers together, and slightly raised her hand.
The soldiers behind them had long known that Hua Ruge was hiding there and were all staring at him, waiting for him to move his finger.
When the horses were within a hundred steps, Hua Ruge's eyes squinted, with the release of the Golden Soulcast, a dozen of silver needles flew towards the horses.

The horse's alertness was very high, but it didn't have the slightest ability to retaliate against these types of attacks. It didn't even let out a cry before falling to the ground.
The high-ranking officer from upper hell saw the horse fall and immediately waved his hand, "Stop, send someone to take a look."
The soldiers of Upper Nether Realm also saw this scene and were slightly frightened. After all, they didn't even see the person who attacked them. If these scouts were killed, then how could they be sure that they were not the next to be killed.
"Everyone, don't panic. This place is so big. We've been walking for so long, we must have reached the edge. They must be here." The high-ranking officer comforted them.
The soldiers gripped their spears tightly as they stared at the forest ahead.
The man who had been sent forward realized that only the horses were left and that all the men were dead. He shouted in panic, "All dead!"
The nervousness in Shang You's heart increased, and before the general could speak to comfort him, Hua Ruge swung his two fingers forward.
Taking advantage of when you are sick and want your life, it has always been Hua Ruge's motto.
"Kill!"
In the forest, whether it was the horses or the men, all the men and women were surrounded by tree branches and leaves. The men and horses rushed out, their heavy and heavy horses' hooves leaving deep hooves on the ground.
