The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

Meanwhile, the military camp was bustling with activity. The third leader, who was in charge, had a furrowed brow. He couldn't understand why this group of people were stationed here.

"Third Master, this is the group of soldiers. We only have a hundred men. When should we make our move?"

A henchman standing nearby looked at the third leader and spoke, his voice trembling slightly.

"Don't panic. Judging from their relaxed expressions, they probably don't expect us to launch a surprise attack here. Let's make a big show of it and scare them to death."

The third leader spoke with an innocent expression.

But these words left the subordinates standing nearby completely bewildered.

"Third Master, are you sure you can do this?"

The henchman next to him was speechless, feeling that he really didn't have much confidence in himself.

"What are you afraid of? I'm just trying to show them that we're not easy to bully either."

The third leader spoke with an arrogant expression, not believing that the soldiers brought by a prince from the capital could be that powerful.

After everyone had finished getting ready, they immediately launched an attack.

Yang Ling had already noticed the group from afar and had instructed his personal guards to inform those inside to make preparations.

The group rushed forward, but before they even reached the military camp, they saw a hail of arrows raining down from within.

"Third Master, we've been ambushed."

The henchmen standing nearby were dumbfounded by what they saw; it was completely different from what they had imagined.

……

On the northern mountain, the chief sat in the main seat, holding a piece of meat in his hand, eating with great gusto.

At that moment, his men suddenly rushed in, their faces full of anxiety.

"Boss, this is terrible! The Third Boss's entire army has been wiped out; not a single one survived."

The subordinate knelt on the ground, and everyone could feel the trembling in his voice.

"what!"

The leader stood up in horror, his face filled with disbelief.

"Boss, there's someone outside the gate who wants to see you."

……

Upon hearing this, the leader's lips twitched slightly.

These officers and soldiers are really going too far!

When the leader and his men arrived at the main gate, they saw Yang Ling looking at them with a smile.

Behind him, Li Tianba stood there, holding two broad axes.

"Boss, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Yang Ling looked at the leader in front of her with a smile, a hint of sarcasm on her lips.

"Who are you, daring to trespass into my Black Wind Stronghold?"

The leader's face turned cold, and he already knew the identity of the person in front of him.

In the entire Liangzhou region, aside from Yang Ling, there's little else who could command the loyalty of someone like Li Tianba.

"It seems you are the Ninth Prince. My Black Wind Stronghold has no grudge against your Longxi City, so why are you sending troops to attack my Black Wind Stronghold?"

The leader's face was full of resentment, but as soon as he said those words, Yang Ling burst into laughter.

You are a bandit, I am an official. I led my soldiers to suppress the bandits. Is that wrong?

"I thought the chief was a knowledgeable person, but after meeting him today, I realize he's just a greenhorn."

Yang Ling's face was full of mockery, as if she were watching a joke.

A look of shame and anger appeared on the leader's face; the Ninth Prince's words had truly infuriated him.

"Your Highness is joking."

The leader took a deep breath to calm himself down, but Yang Ling's next words left him completely stunned.

"How many civilians have your bandits killed? How many people have they robbed? How many families have been torn apart because of your presence?"

Yang Ling's words left the leader completely stunned.

"Is Your Highness judging me?"

The leader retorted upon hearing this, his voice tinged with anger.

However, after glancing at him, it seemed that Yang Ling only brought one person with him when he came up the mountain. If I were to have someone tie up Yang Ling now, could I force him to withdraw his troops?

“Your Highness, this mountain is not your backyard where you can do whatever you want. I’ll give you a chance. Go down the mountain now, and I’ll pretend nothing happened.”

……

As soon as the leader said that, Yang Ling burst into laughter.

"It seems you're threatening me, Li Tianba. Go and take his head off."

Yang Ling's voice was tinged with indifference, and Li Tianba, who was standing next to her, rolled up his sleeves upon hearing it.

The leader frowned deeply upon seeing the two's actions, wondering if they had some kind of backup plan.

That's why they're so fearless!

"Of course, I am still willing to give you a chance. As long as you can lead your men to submit to me, I guarantee you will have food and drink in the future, and I will reward you with the position of a centurion."

……

The leader was stunned when he heard this.

The more than three thousand brothers under his command were the result of his hard work and countless difficulties.

How could they possibly let Yang Ling take them away with just a few words?

"Your Highness, I'm afraid your men don't have that ability yet."

The leader's voice was cold; he didn't believe Yang Ling could so easily wipe out his Black Wind Stronghold.

"Is it?"

With a wicked smile, Yang Ling immediately instructed Li Tianba to throw the package he had deliberately left behind onto the platform.

The package was thrown in front of everyone, and the leader opened it with some confusion.

When the contents inside are fully revealed before your eyes.

He was completely stunned.

"Boss, this is the head of the third boss."

One of the underlings walked up to the boss and spoke somewhat cautiously.

"You...you actually killed my third brother!"

The leader looked at Yang Ling with a look of horror, and deep in his eyes was a hint of anger.

When Yang Ling heard this, she didn't seem to care at all.

"He's just a lowly bandit leader, so what? Can't I kill him?"

Yang Ling's words stunned the head of the gang.

This guy really doesn't care about human life.

"Since you killed my third brother, don't blame me for showing no mercy."

As soon as the leader finished speaking, his henchmen surrounded Yang Ling.

Yang Ling was not alarmed by this scene; instead, she smiled slightly.

"Since you're so eager to die, how could I not grant your wish?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Ling produced a signal flare. As he launched the flare, three thousand armored soldiers at the foot of North Mountain charged up the mountain.

When the leader heard the noise, his face instantly turned to terror.
