Chapter 620: Halberd Corps Enters the City

The three of them walked into the inn, which was already bustling with activity. Warriors from all walks of life were either sitting or standing, sharing their experiences and observations of the day.

They found a quiet corner and sat down. The waiter quickly brought them hot meals. The aroma temporarily dispelled the day's fatigue.

"Lord Su Ye's move is not only to select warriors, but also to lay out a big chess game."

"I heard that not far from this conference, Lord Su Ye also built a school called Jixia specifically for the various schools of thought and talents."

"The establishment of the Jixia Academy is one of the links, which aims to gather talents from all over the world to work together for great achievements."

Jia Fu picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and looked through the crowd, as if thinking about something.

As the son of Jia Xu, and a man of both civil and military talents, Jia Fu was naturally more sensitive to this aspect.

"Yes, the ways of civil and martial arts complement each other."

"With the Jixia Academy, Lord Zhenguo will be able to get assistance from a large number of wise men. The situation is set!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yuan also looked solemn and was deeply impressed by the ambition of the Duke of Zhenguo.

It was late at night and outside the inn, a bright moon was hanging high in the sky, casting its silver light all over the earth, adding a touch of mystery and peace to the quiet night.

At the same time, on the other side, Su Ye was sitting quietly in the extremely luxurious study in the Tianheng City Lord's Mansion.

The walls of the study are inlaid with precious jade, and the bookshelves are made of rare red sandalwood, filled with various ancient books and scrolls.

Exquisite glass lamps are hung on the ceiling, the light is soft and warm, making the whole space bright and cozy.

A huge cashmere carpet is spread in the center of the room, embroidered with intricate totems. Every step you take on it seems that you can feel the weight of history and the accumulation of years.

Su Ye was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and had a calm expression. Behind him, Jing Wei, who was wearing a tight black suit, stood quietly like a ghost in the dark night.

Her figure under the black clothes is graceful and curvy. The tights perfectly outline every inch of her tight and powerful muscles, exuding an indescribable charm and power.

His face was cold and his eyes were sharp, and he only became gentle when his gaze stayed on Su Ye in front of him.

"Zhao Gao, Lan Dushou, how are you observing the contestants of this martial arts tournament?"

Su Ye gently leaned on Jingwei behind him, closed his eyes and rested, then slowly asked the two people who were bowing their heads below.

"Don't worry, my lord. We have already arranged personnel to closely monitor the dynamics of various forces to ensure that we can obtain the latest intelligence as soon as possible."

Zhao Gao, one of the rulers of Luowang, dressed in a blood-red robe and with a sinister face, bowed slightly and answered.

"Also, I have selected a list of warriors with great potential and whose identities have not yet been determined. They are just waiting for the Lord to decide."

Lan Dushou, who was standing beside him and had an equally sinister look on his face, was also wearing a blue robe and bowed in a flattering tone.

"Those three giants who wield the Yu King Divine Spear, Zhuge Kunlong, and the grassland aliens Tiger Fang and Tiger Seal, are quite powerful. If we can use them, it will greatly enhance our strength."

"Let Ju Wuba, Ruan Zhongweng, and Wu Wenhua, who are still in the city, go. They are all giants, so it may be easier for them to get closer to each other."

Su Ye nodded, turned his gaze to the deep night sky outside the window, pondered for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

As early as before when Ju Wu Ba came out, Su Ye planned to form a giant group. Therefore, Wu Wenhua, who was originally stationed in Qizhou with Bai Hu, was directly transferred by Su Ye.

"My lord is wise. As we are all extraordinary people, the three generals Wu Wenhua may be able to gain the trust of those three people more easily."

"Besides, the strength of the three generals should not be underestimated. They are enough to deter those who have different intentions."

When Zhao Gao heard this, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes, and then he responded respectfully.

"But my lord, we still need to consider how to avoid interference from other princes."

"After all, all the lords and forces are eyeing us covetously during this martial arts tournament, and they all want to take advantage of the opportunity to strengthen themselves."

Lan Dushou also nodded in agreement and proposed at the same time.

"That depends on our means and sincerity."

"Zhao Gao, you are responsible for intelligence collection and transmission to ensure that we can grasp the dynamics of all parties in a timely manner; Lan Dushou, you collect and analyze the personalities and weaknesses of those warriors, and recruit them based on these!"

Su Ye smiled slightly, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

You're already in Tianheng Mansion and you still want to run away?
Even if he has to tie them up, he has to tie them here!
"Okay, that's it. Now let's bring in the second round of surprises!"

There was a barely perceptible smile in Su Ye's words and he gently patted Jingwei's shoulder behind him.

Jingwei nodded slightly, then turned around, and like a shadow in the night, he quietly retreated to the side, ready to greet the upcoming "surprise".

At this moment, Tianheng Mansion looks even more solemn under the moonlight. The towering city walls are made of bluestone and remain strong despite the wind and rain. There are intricate totems carved on the walls, and every brick and tile reveals the vicissitudes and glory of history.

At the city gate, two heavy iron doors slowly opened, making a dull creaking sound, as if it was the whisper of ancient times, welcoming unknown secrets.

As the city gate opened, a heavily armored and imposing army came into view - it was none other than Su Ye's now famous Halberd Corps.

He was wearing specially made heavy armor with a cold metallic luster, which looked even more majestic under the moonlight.

Each soldier held a giant halberd that was more than ten feet long. The tip of the halberd was extremely sharp and shining with cold light, as if it could pierce the night sky.

Their steps were heavy and powerful, and every step they took on the ground made a deafening roar, as if even the earth was shaking, demonstrating their unrivaled fighting power and oppression.

Zhang He, the commander of the halberd corps, led the charge, riding a tall warhorse, wearing dark heavy armor, also holding a halberd, with a stern face and eyes as sharp as an eagle.

Under his leadership, the Halberd Soldiers entered the Tianheng Mansion in an orderly manner. There were no extra words, only uniform steps, demonstrating the army's iron discipline and extraordinary combat effectiveness.

Their arrival instantly made the atmosphere in Tianheng Mansion tense and solemn.

Even those warriors who were already accustomed to the flashing of swords and sabers, most of them looked solemn as they felt the powerful aura emanating from the Halberd Corps.

The moment the Halberd Warriors entered Tianheng Mansion, it was like an unstoppable torrent that instantly swept away the attention of the entire city.

However, they did not stay for long on the bustling streets of the city, nor were they attracted by the hustle and bustle of the surrounding city life. Instead, they were like a precision-operated war machine, with clear goals and decisive actions.
