Chapter 539 Everyone has their own plans
At this time, behind the anti-king coalition, Li Mi stood on a high slope, his eyes piercing through layers of smoke, fixed firmly on the wild cavalry that were wreaking havoc in the Daxuan army. There was an unprecedented light flashing in his eyes, a complex look mixed with greed, envy and desire.

He had never seen such a powerful army on the verge of collapse, and he had never imagined that Xuanyuan Po, a discarded pawn who came from a humble background and rose to power not much earlier than himself, could possess such terrifying power.

As far as he knew, Xuanyuan Po's rise was not much earlier than his own, and he was an abandoned child without any powerful background.

Where did such advanced things as Taoist soldiers come from!

"Alliance Leader Xuanyuan really opened my eyes!"

"Who exactly is this Dao Bing Fa Xiang? How did the leader of the alliance build up such an elite army?"

There was a hint of undisguised flattery in Li Mi's voice. He slowly walked towards Xuanyuan Po, but his eyes never left the barbaric cavalry.

When Xuanyuan Po heard this, his eyes flashed slightly. He knew very well that Li Mi was a man of deep character and thought, and he must have some ulterior motive behind this flattery.

“Haha, where do you think this kind of army comes from, Brother Li?”

However, he did not directly answer Li Mi's question, but asked it back calmly.

"I see the appearance of this army, it is very consistent with the totems of the tribes in the southern barbarians, could it be..."

Li Mi was stunned, then laughed.

"Haha, this group of barbaric cavalry soldiers originated from the Southern Barbarians. They are the result of the faith of me, my many subordinates, and the various tribes of the Southern Barbarians. They represent the common will of me and my many tribes of the Southern Barbarians."

Xuanyuan Po shook his head slightly, and his eyes became deep.

When Li Mi heard this, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

He originally thought that Xuanyuan Po would reveal some specific origins or secrets, but he did not expect to get such a high-sounding answer.

"Leader Xuanyuan really has extraordinary background."

"The Great Xuan Dynasty is now so powerful. If the kings like us cannot unite to fight against it, I am afraid that we will be defeated one by one sooner or later."

"In my eyes, the leader's barbaric cavalry is so powerful. With such elite troops, the coalition forces have a much better chance of winning."

However, he did not give up, but continued to test the Tao, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to tie this Taoist army to the position of the coalition forces.

Xuanyuan Po looked at Li Mi and was secretly alert.

He knew that Li Mi was a very cunning man, and although his words seemed sincere, they actually harbored evil intentions.

He pondered for a moment, and finally spoke slowly: "Li Mi, what you said makes sense. However, this Savage Iron Cavalry is not something I can control alone. There are complex totems and belief systems behind it. Only those who are truly recognized by it can master its power. If you really want to contribute to the coalition, you might as well put aside your selfish thoughts and work with me for the victory of the anti-king coalition. When the time is right, I will reveal more secrets about the Savage Iron Cavalry to you."

"What the leader said is absolutely true."

"We are all members of the anti-king coalition and should work together for victory."

Although Li Mi felt unwilling when he heard this, he also knew that Xuanyuan Po was not someone who could be easily fooled. He could only grit his teeth secretly, but a smile appeared on his face.

Xuanyuan Po looked at Li Mi, and a barely perceptible coldness flashed in his eyes.

Li Mi was an ambitious man. Although his words seemed to be compromising, he was actually still plotting in secret.

"Brother Li, rest assured. I, Xuanyuan Po, always keep my word. As long as you contribute to the coalition, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."

However, he did not directly expose Li Mi's disguise, but nodded calmly.

The conversation between the two came to an end.

However, the two of them did not stop calculating. Li Mi lowered his eyes, secretly thinking about how to further explore the secrets of the Savage Iron Cavalry.

After finishing the conversation with Li Mi, Xuanyuan Po's gaze returned to the battlefield, which was a Daxuan army that had fallen into chaos and defeat.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he had made up his mind.

This moment was not only a major blow to the Daxuan army, but also a critical moment for Xuanyuan Po to demonstrate his strength.

"Pass the order down, the entire army will attack immediately, and don't give the Daxuan army any chance to breathe!"

Xuanyuan Po's voice echoed in the cold wind, like a sharp blade in the ice, revealing unquestionable determination.

His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by every Savage Iron Cavalryman, making them seem as if they were driven by an invisible force. They all emitted earth-shaking roars in response to Xuanyuan Po's orders.

As the order was given, the Savage Cavalry swept in like a storm, and the figures clad in rattan armor flickered in the smoke and fire, like ghosts in the dark, silently shuttling across the battlefield.

Every charge was accompanied by the wailing and collapse of the Daxuan army. The iron hooves under their crotch trampled the earth, as if they wanted to bring all this land under their control.

The pursuit lasted for several days.

Along the way, the flags of the Daxuan army fell one after another, the soldiers threw away their weapons and armor, and the army was defeated.

They tried to organize an effective resistance, but under the fierce attack of the barbaric cavalry, all efforts seemed so pale and powerless.

The generals of the Daxuan army showed despair on their faces, knowing that this time, they had encountered an unprecedentedly powerful enemy.

Xuanyuan Po sat on his warhorse, watching all this coldly, without any sympathy in his heart.

Until they met Yang Jian, who relied on several strong passes, reorganized his troops and defended the city.

When the coalition forces led by Xuanyuan Po stopped, they had already occupied five or six rich counties in the south of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

These large counties were once important granaries and sources of finance for the dynasty, but now they have fallen into the hands of the anti-royal coalition.

Xuanyuan Po looked at the land in front of him, and an indescribable sense of pride and ambition surged in his heart.

At this moment, he clearly felt that he had finally taken the first official step towards his goal!
He rode forward and arrived at the gate of Dajun.

The city gate was in ruins, obviously having been the scene of a fierce battle.

Looking up, I saw the flags of the anti-king coalition hanging on the city walls, fluttering in the wind.

"Hahaha, Leader Xuanyuan, the results of this battle are brilliant. The strength of our anti-king coalition has increased a lot!"

A rebel king walked forward excitedly, his face full of joy, as if he had seen the dawn of victory in the future.

There was excitement and pride in his eyes, as if at this moment, all his efforts had been rewarded.

Xuanyuan Po smiled faintly, his eyes swept across the newly conquered land in front of him, and a feeling of pride and ambition surged in his heart.

But he knew that this was just the beginning and the real challenge was still to come.

“This is indeed a good start, but the Great Xuan Dynasty has a deep foundation, so we still need to act with caution.”

"The resources of these large counties must be integrated as soon as possible to enhance our military strength."
