In order to save himself, the prince summoned 100,000 dragon riders at the start.

"You've chosen to deploy the entire army, yet you haven't left any soldiers to protect you! You've committed a cardinal sin in military strategy!"

"Watch me head straight for your central army and teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Guo Ming sneered.

It seems I overestimated Lu Yuan!

Anyone who is well-versed in military strategy would never make such a basic mistake!

.......

outside the city.

Lu Yuan originally thought everything was settled, and yawned as he waited for the system's reward announcement.

Who knows.

In his boredom, he suddenly saw a thousand elite cavalrymen heading straight for him!

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? So there are some smart ones on the other side, they even know to capture the leader first?"

But soon, Lu Yuan realized that his words were somewhat inappropriate.

Who would describe themselves as a thief?

but.

It seems the other party came specifically to target me because they saw I had few people around me?

A hint of mockery appeared on Lu Yuan's face.

Ha ha.

indeed.

There are indeed very few people around me right now.

Xu Chu, Li Sandao, Yu Xiang, and the seriously injured Luo Yi and the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun.

There were only twenty or thirty people in total.

But don't forget.

There aren't many of them, but their cultivation levels are quite high!

Anyone you randomly pick is at least a half-saint!

of course.

Apart from Lu Yuan.

Besides!

Hidden in the surrounding shadows were three hundred shadow guards, all above the Martial King level!

If the enemy had sent 100,000 men, perhaps Lu Yuan and his group could have temporarily avoided their attack.

But a thousand... you've come here to deliver your own head in a surprise attack?

"How brave!"

"My lord, I think the leader of the other side is a half-saint!"

"Let me go and test his skills against him, and see what he's really made of, daring to launch a surprise attack on us!"

Xu Chu was so angry he almost laughed. He impatiently stepped forward and volunteered to fight!

Since Li Sandao was released, Xu Chu has rarely had the opportunity to make a move.

On weekdays.

They all stayed by Lu Yuan's side, protecting his safety!

This almost made the battle-loving Xu Chu burst with pent-up energy!

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan rubbed his chin.

Originally, he wanted Li Sandao to take action and wipe out these ignorant fools.

But then I thought about it.

Li Sandao is a martial saint.

Even if I manage to eliminate this group, the luck points I gain will be reduced by more than half by the dog system!

Some losses outweigh the gains!

Under Xu Chu's expectant gaze, Lu Yuan finally nodded and said:

"Alright, this time you can go warm up!"

"Yingmo, dispatch one hundred Shadow Guards to assist Xu Chu in his operation!"

"My lord, I don't need it!"

Xu Chu was about to refuse when Lu Yuan glared at him, stopping him in his tracks.

"What do you mean you don't need to?"

"If you say another word, I won't let you go!"

Xu Chu almost panicked and quickly said:

"Alright, alright, then let a hundred Shadow Guards come with me, but no more than that!"

"This little bit of meat isn't enough for me!"

Xu Chu muttered under his breath, then hurriedly stepped forward with his sword without turning his head.

He was afraid that if he walked too slowly, Lu Yuan would call him back!

"This Xu Chu is truly a tiger fanatic!"

Lu Yuan smiled helplessly.

Lu Yuan had his own reasons for sending out a hundred shadow guards.

The leader of the thousand-strong elite force rushing towards him was clearly a semi-saint level expert.

He also had several Martial Emperors and Martial Grandmasters assisting him!

Although Xu Chu was at the peak of the Half-Saint realm, Lu Yuan felt it was better to play it safe!

Otherwise, if we accidentally crash and burn, it would be a huge loss!

"Li Sandao, be careful later."

"If anything unexpected happens, you take action immediately!"

Lu Yuan felt it was still a bit risky, so he turned around and whispered a word of advice to Li Sandao.

The saying "better safe than sorry" applies here; you can never be too cautious!

"Yes! Lord!"

Upon hearing this, Li Sandao immediately drew his long sword, his eyes gradually sharpening.

They looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy!

Seeing this, Lu Yuan shook his head slightly.

Although Li Sandao was not good with words.

But given his taciturn nature, he is destined to carry out his orders diligently!

but.

Isn't this a good thing?

"You little thief! Your grandpa Xu Chu is here!"

Xu Chu was finally able to fight with all his might, and he roared excitedly.
