Chapter 157: Ill Intent
Meanwhile, on the other side, relying on their superior mobility, the cavalry unit quickly rode far away from the Iron Wall Tribe’s camp.
Their speed then slowed, even for cavalry, maintaining a high speed charge was very physically demanding, especially without saddles and stirrups.
After traveling a bit further, the cavalry unit’s deputy caught up on horseback.
“Chief, it seems someone is following us…”
Hearing this, the cavalry chief, riding at the front of the formation, glanced back with the corner of his eye.
“Is it someone from that tribe?”
“Not sure.”
“I understand.”
As he spoke, the cavalry chief scanned his surroundings.
“Increase speed!”
“We’ll circle back from that high ground ahead and ambush them!”
Before his words faded, the entire cavalry unit’s movement speed surged again, catching Zhang Yisheng and his followers off guard.
“Damn it! I’ve been discovered?”
Before he could think further, a dense sound of hooves suddenly came from behind him.
Zhang Yisheng’s face instantly changed as if he realized something.
“Circling around to ambush? So decisive?”
As he spoke, Zhang Yisheng’s face turned completely green as he watched the cavalry unit, already raising a cloud of dust, appear in his sight.
Frightened, he hurriedly shouted.
“Don’t attack!”
“We’re allies! We’re allies!!”
Hearing this, the cavalry chief’s brow furrowed slightly, and a flicker of thought crossed his eyes.
Finally, he raised a hand.
“Surround them!”
At his command, the cavalry behind him immediately split into two groups, encircling Zhang Yisheng’s entire troops in the blink of an eye.
Then, the cavalry chief, looking down from his horse, said.
“Who said we’re allies?”
Facing such a formation, Zhang Yisheng’s expression stiffened, and he quickly forced a dry laugh.
“It’s me! The one from the battlefield earlier! Didn’t you just save me?”
“Oh, so it was you.”
The cavalry chief’s sudden realization made Zhang Yisheng feel awkward.
Just as he was about to say something more, he heard the cavalry chief speak again.
“I didn’t intend to save you.”
“I just wanted to cause some trouble for the guy on the other side.”
‘So, you and I are not allies, understand?”
Faced with this answer, Zhang Yisheng’s facial muscles twitched, but he still forced a smile.
“But the enemy of my enemy is my friend, isn’t that right?”
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend?”
The cavalry chief had clearly never heard this saying before.
After a brief contemplation, he couldn’t help but nod.
“That’s an interesting idea.”
“Haha, right?”
Zhang Yisheng chuckled twice, then quickly pressed on while the iron was hot.
“Look, you’re his enemy, and I’m his enemy too. Since that’s the case, how about we join forces?”
“Join forces? With you?”
As he spoke, the cavalry chief’s gaze, seen through his bone mask, swept over the group of battered soldiers.
To be honest, this group gave him no sense of fighting capability.
After all, if he hadn’t charged out when he did, this group of people would have been completely wiped out by that guy, wouldn’t they?
Thinking of this, the cavalry chief’s thoughts drifted to Luo Ji, and he thought to himself.
“I really want to see that guy’s expression right now…”
Sensing the cavalry chief’s disdain and casual attitude, Zhang Yisheng immediately felt irritated.
“Damn it, this native is quite arrogant, isn’t he?”
Of course, he had no real intention of joining forces with this native to seek revenge on Luo Ji, because his own forces had indeed suffered heavy casualties and had no fighting strength left.
So, his true purpose in secretly following them was to see if he could persuade a cavalry unit to join him.
Since he didn’t manage to seize the copper mine resources, taking a cavalry unit back would be good too.
The cavalry unit was not something that could be established just by wishing for it.
First, you needed warhorse resources.
Players whose starting locations randomly placed them in mountainous areas, for example, couldn’t get warhorses in the early stages, which makes cavalry a luxury.
Now that a cavalry unit had finally appeared before him, how could he just let them go?
He hadn’t expected to be looked down upon by this native right from the start.
However, he felt he had to try harder.
“My forces are indeed suffering heavy casualties right now from just having experienced a battle, but with enough time, they’ll quickly regain their combat strength…”
“Not interested!”
Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, the cavalry chief directly interrupted Zhang Yisheng.
His intuition told him that this guy had ill intentions and was probably plotting something.
“Don’t follow us again!”
With that, the cavalry chief pulled his rein, preparing to lead his men away.
At this, Zhang Yisheng couldn’t help but feel anxious.
He couldn’t force them to stay, but the warhorse resources he had yearned for were right before him.
How could he willingly give up?
With this thought, he hurriedly took two steps forward.
“Wait, wait a moment!”
“We don’t have to join forces, but can you tell me where you got the horses you’re riding…”
Before he could finish, Zhang Yisheng’s voice suddenly ceased.
A drop of cold sweat slid from his temple.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but regret that he had indeed been too impulsive just now.
At this very moment, the tip of the stone spear in the cavalry chief’s hand was already pressed against his throat, and his eyes radiated a cold killing intent.
Simultaneously with this action, both sides instantly became tense and ready for a fight!
“You truly have ill intentions!”
Maintaining the spear-thrusting posture, the cavalry chief glanced at Zhang Yisheng’s soldiers.
Although they were a group of battered and defeated troops, if they were to fight now, some of his own men would likely be injured.
This would be a meaningless battle, offering him no benefit.
Thinking this, the killing intent in the cavalry chief’s eyes slightly lessened.
“This is the final warning!”
“If I encounter you again next time, this stone spear in my hand will pierce your throat!”
“Let’s go!”
Watching the cavalry unit ride off, Zhang Yisheng touched his neck, killing intent flickering in his eyes.
The hand holding his longbow unconsciously tightened a bit, but he eventually relaxed it.
His rationality told him that if he were to shoot that arrow, whether he could kill the cavalry chief with one shot aside, this matter definitely wouldn’t end well.
If the two sides started fighting, he would be the one to suffer heavy losses in the end.
“I’ve really had the worst luck today!”
“Not only did I fall into a player’s hands, but now I’m being threatened by a native?”
“Damn it!!”
However, the furious Zhang Yisheng overlooked one thing, if this cavalry unit hadn’t appeared, he and his forces would probably have been completely annihilated by Luo Ji’s encirclement.
