Chapter 150 The Extremely Arrogant Lord of the Tiannan Region
Chapter 150 The Extremely Arrogant Lord of the Tiannan Region
Fifteen days blinked by.
Because the King's Order had been issued, from the third day of receiving the order, the Southern Territory Lords started to arrive one after another. By the fourteenth day, several Lords had already reached the Southern Territory Base Camp.
The Lords of the Nine Domains of the Southern Territory usually wouldn't stay at the Base Camp unless there was nothing else to do, and they only gathered there for discussions of serious military and national matters.
However, what shocked and infuriated Sima Zhantian and Xiao Chuanqi was that the King's Order had been issued, and even after the fifteenth day—the deadline—had passed, three of the Lords of the Nine Domains still hadn't followed the order to appear. To them, this was simply unimaginable.
Had this been the Northern Border, after the Northern King issued a King's Order for the Twelve Banners' Flag Leaders to come to the Base Camp for a meeting, by the next day, all twelve of them would have arrived on time without fail, unless they had extremely compelling reasons not to.
Because this was the King's Order!
Yet in the Southern Territory, there were actually several Lords who had failed to show up—this was truly inconceivable!
Xiao Chuanqi couldn't help but sneer, "Indeed, throughout these years, with the Southern Territory showing weakness, each Lord of the Nine Domains has harbored their own scheming thoughts. Today proves it beyond a doubt!"
Xia Lengchan said with a wry smile, "Not just the Lords of the Nine Domains, even the leaders below them all have their own little calculations. Otherwise, when the Northern King descended upon the Southern Territory, people like Yang Bugui wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant."
Sima Zhantian humphed, "In the Northern Border, no matter what the Lords think, I would've chopped their bloody heads off right away! And just look at those who have arrived; each one of them is so damn insufferably arrogant. If this were the Northern Border, I'd definitely beat them down!"
Xiao Chuanqi couldn't help but laugh, "Calm your rage. This is the Southern Territory, not our Northern Border. Besides, I noticed that the Lords who arrived all have masters by their side, and among them are those with strength not inferior to ours. We must not act rashly. Let's wait for our Lord to finish his seclusion!"
On the morning of the fifteenth day, the Lords who had arrived were already impatient, sitting in the council hall, waiting all morning without seeing the King of the Southern Territory show up. They even started to curse out loud.
"Damn it, we were summoned here ten days ago with talk of discussing important military matters. Now, I've been waiting for ten whole days and still haven't caught sight of a single shadow of Dugu Ming. What kind of farce is this? Are they playing us for fools?"
One burly middle-aged man cursed loudly, his voice bold and full of brash arrogance.
When Sima Zhantian saw this, he became furious and couldn't help but want to burst into the council hall.
Xia Lengchan could only give a wry smile and said, "Lord of Tiannan Region, truth be told, this brother Sima Zhantian is a Legion Commander under the Northern King, and his position is not low either."
"Under the Northern King? So he's not even from the Southern Territory? When the hell did our Base Camp here in the Southern Territory start taking orders from people from other regions?" the Lord of Tiannan Region grew even angrier after hearing this.
At that moment, another sitting Lord added with an odd tone, "Really, a Legion Commander from the Northern Border daring to be disrespectful to our Lords of the Southern Region; isn't that too presumptuous and disrespectful to us here?"
"Exactly!"
The Lord of Tiannan Region stood with hands on hips again, pointing at Sima Zhantian's nose and said, "This is the Base Camp of the Southern Territory; it's not your place, people from the Northern Border, to issue commands here. Get the hell out immediately, and before you do, kneel down and admit your error. Did you hear me, kneel down!"
"How presumptuous!"
At this point, Xiao Chuanqi also got angry, stepping forward in a rage, bellowing, "Such arrogance, daring to ask our Legion Commander from the Northern Border Army to kneel, where do you get your confidence? I'll have you know, the King's Order from fifteen days ago was issued jointly by our Northern King and your Southern King.
In other words, we, as Legion Commanders from the Northern Border, also have enough qualification and reason to stand here!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Lords present burst into laughter, filled with mockery and disdain.
"Damn it, wasn't I clear enough, or are all your ears deaf? This is the Base Camp of the Southern Territory; I don't care about your Northern King, Western King, or Eastern King!"
The Lord of Tiannan Region, with his mouth wide open, said word by word, "Kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake right now, otherwise, I'll have my followers paralyze you both. Do you believe me or not?"
"Try it if you've got the guts!" Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian promptly stood their ground.
Your next chapter awaits on empire
"Good, do it, cripple them both for me!" The Lord of Tiannan Region gestured vehemently, and the two followers lunged forward.
However, just at that moment, a resounding voice suddenly came from outside, "The Southern King and the Northern King have arrived!"
