I switched allegiance to Zhang Han and rebuilt the Qin Dynasty; Liu Bang was heartbroken.

The crowd looked at Divine Sword Duke's army with shock and scrutiny, yet also with anticipation.

During the period when the Peacock Kingdom was conquered by Alexander the Great, Peacock culture and Greek culture underwent a dramatic fusion.

The slave system in the Peacock Kingdom was perfected from the Greek slave system.

Furthermore, by incorporating the local bloodline theory of the Peacock Kingdom, it became even more terrifying!

A slave who has risen to such a high position must be incredibly powerful!

The envoy, who was familiar with the situation, continued, "This person is also known as one of the strongest swordsmen in the Peacock Kingdom. He once won one hundred consecutive victories in the arena!"

For the sake of profit, the arena cannot keep arranging fights between people with vastly different strengths.

Achieving a hundred consecutive wins means this person has defeated many strong opponents!

Only those who survive are the victors.

This man's hands are stained with countless drops of blood!

However, the delegation members became even more excited.

They have achieved their current status and endless enjoyment by parasitizing slaves and sucking their blood.

They then understood even more clearly the baseness of slavery, as insignificant as dust.

In an environment like this, peacocks can undergo a magnificent transformation.

Could this person actually be someone with real ability?

Everyone, including Antioch, was carefully observing the battlefield.

Even though the Qin army didn't openly intend to stop them, none of them said they wanted to leave voluntarily; they all wanted to witness the Qin army's war firsthand.

At this moment, their gaze shifted from the loyal guards, who exuded a fierce aura like a pack of hyenas about to pounce, and settled on the soldiers of the Divine Sword Legion.

At least in terms of sheer power, they could barely hold off the Loyal Guards.

It looks quite professional.

Someone blurted out instinctively, "Perhaps the peacock really does have a chance to stop the Qin army?"

This is only King Xingda's army. It is said that the Peacock Kingdom will mobilize thirty-three legions, hundreds of thousands of men, to fight against the Qin army. They are not expecting the Qin army to counterattack. As long as they can hold the Qin army here, they can wear down the Qin forces.

Qin's occupation of this region was too short-lived, and its foundation was not stable!

Divine Sword Duke is a vicious beast that bites people, capable of tearing a chunk of flesh from Qin's body.

Under the rising sun, just as a sense of hope arose in everyone's hearts.

The devil's whispers shattered their expectations.

"Rest assured, everyone, the Peacock People cannot stop the Qin Army. In ten days, I will invite you all to a victory banquet in Sodra City."

Everyone instinctively turned their heads and saw Qin Anxi Grand Commander, Wu Rui.

His expression immediately turned sour.

The crowd showed no sign of panic. They needed to witness the might of the Qin army and would not act rashly.

The others were also quite sensible and did not openly provoke Qin.

After Wu Rui spoke, he remained silent.

Who would be at ease knowing that the Qin army would win the war against the Peacock?

If we can win in ten days, that would be terrifying.

Some people felt a twisted feeling in their hearts.

The fact that Divine Sword Duke, a slave, could rise to such a high position suggests he must be a madman.

Surely a madman has a chance against these madmen in the Qin army?

Wu Rui didn't care about the reactions of the crowd, but praised with a smile, "Divine Sword Duke is indeed very powerful."

This surprised everyone.

Is Wu Rui praising her opponent?

Then why are you still so confident?

"How about I make a bet with you all?"

“I know that after witnessing the Qin army’s formidable strength, you have all been trying to win over the Peacock to help us counter the pressure from the Qin.”

"However, I still maintain that Qin is a peace-loving nation!"

"Since entering the Great Xia, we have always been forced to fight back!"

"Qin will not launch an attack on the enemy."

"Including the Peacock People, it was after King Xingda invaded the territory of Qin that Qin was forced to retaliate!"

"If the Qin army can capture the capital of King Xingda within ten days, then you will officially acknowledge the Qin's rule over the currently occupied territory. What do you say?"

Everyone's hearts pounded; they never expected Wu Rui to choose to confront them.

See the picture poorly.

State their plan directly.

However, the Qin army was always known for its ferocity, and despite their shock, everyone remained calm.

Everyone was thinking that the bet proposed by Wu Rui seemed very fair.

The Qin army was indeed very strong, and no one doubted that the Qin army would be the victor in this war.

However, ten days is far too short.

The Qin army was still somewhat reckless!

If Qin can fulfill this bet, they will have to acknowledge Qin, meaning they cannot openly oppose Qin's rule over this region and legally recognize Qin's Anxi Governor's Office.

This bet was acceptable to most people, as the era did not place such importance on the clear legal demarcation of territory at any cost.

The envoy from the Kingdom of Bendu asked with great interest, "What if the Qin army was unable to do so?"

Wu Rui smiled jokingly: "The Qin-Kong agreement can still be negotiated."

The crowd curled their lip in disdain; who cared whether the peacock lived or died?

Even if it can be negotiated, how much can be reduced?

The Qin army attacked the Peacock City, forcing the entire nation to mobilize. If they were to lose, such a small loss wouldn't matter.

The envoy from Bendu continued, "If the Qin army fails to do so, then they must not continue their attack on Peacock!"

This bet came at just the right time.

Perhaps it can thwart the Qin army's plans.

After a moment's thought, Wu Rui slowly shook her head: "If we fail to do so, then the Qin army's target will only be King Xingda, not the entire Peacock Kingdom!"

The group exchanged glances, their eyes conveying their excitement for the bet.

King Antiochus III gave Wu Rui a deep look, but ultimately did not object.

Everyone happily signed the betting agreement with Da Qin.

"The bet is established. Each faction's envoy must sign a separate agreement with Qin!"

Wu Rui smiled with great satisfaction!

The Qin Dynasty unified the eastern part of the entire landmass, but this was perhaps the first time in history that it had directly interacted with the west!

Let the world hear the voice of the Qin Dynasty, starting from this moment.

With a formal legal basis, the Great Qin was the rightful and unshakeable ruler of the Great Xia region!

Even if other countries were to attack Qin at that time, that would be an invasion!

Even with the collapse of the Spring and Autumn Period's rites and laws during the Warring States Period, wars between states still required a just cause.

Nominal, that is, justice.

Might makes right.

With truth and justice, there is a hegemon!

The Qin Dynasty could become a hegemon amidst the struggle for supremacy among the various powers in the East.

It's entirely possible that we could become the world's hegemon amidst the struggle for supremacy among the world's heroes!

Wu Rui had already been considering this matter when she learned that the Great Qin would hold a grand military parade to mark the 10th anniversary of its restoration next year.

Let's set a small goal first: to dedicate the position of world hegemon to the Qin Dynasty!

After the bet was made, the members of the military observation group watched the battlefield with even greater anticipation, and even considered whether to secretly contact the Peacock People again.

If they can hold out for ten days, that will be a victory for them.

Antioch sighed helplessly. Everyone was blinded by the bet and overlooked one thing.

The Qin army did not rely on the current force to capture Sodora City.

However, that Qin army only had about a thousand men. Could they really have conquered the city of Sothara?
