C388 To see the Field Marshal.

Lei Sheng reined in the horse in front and looked at the two men carefully.

It was impossible to see each other's faces clearly. However, judging from the size of each other's body, their shoulders were broad and tall, so they should be two men. One of them had a body that was definitely on par with his, and even seemed a bit stronger.

As for the other person, he appeared to be very thin and skinny. He looked to be about the same size as Gongsun Ze Tian, but he was far from being as valiant and robust as Gongsun Ze Tian! This thin man looked more like a scholar. Even though he was cloaked in a cloak, he couldn't conceal his delicate feeling. If there was a strong wind, he would be blown away by the wind in the next moment.

From the position of the two, the slightly thin person should be the leader of the two, because the tall and sturdy man retreated a step back and stood respectfully behind the thin man like a loyal guard.

At the same time, Lei Sheng had already tightened his grip on the long-hilted axe in his hand. After all, it was better to use a long-hilted weapon since the weapon was more convenient to use it when riding on horseback. Firstly, it would attack from a distance, with a large range, and secondly, it could borrow the inertia caused by the horse's movements to increase its attack power. Thirdly, if Lei Sheng used the double-edged axe now, what would do? And no third hand to control the horse!

Lei Sheng's voice was loud like a bell, he shouted towards the people in the way: "Who are you? Why are they blocking our way and injuring our men? Whether they are friends or foes, please enlighten me! If you are friends, please explain your purpose for coming here and open up a path. If you are enemies, then please draw a path.

Lei Sheng also wanted to charge forward and hack the two of them alive, but at this moment, he felt that it was a little strange. Not only was it strange, he could only stand there as if nothing had happened after he had beaten up the two of them, and he wasn't afraid or nervous at all. It must be known that what he was facing wasn't the few people lying on the ground, nor the dozens of personal guards that Lei Sheng had brought along.

"This great general must be General Lei Lei Sheng. The name 'Thunder Lord' is indeed well-deserved!" The thin and frail looking man spoke, but his tone did not seem to be disrespectful at all. Instead, it was sincere in his praise.

"Since you've heard of me, then you must know my temper. I don't want to waste words with you guys, immediately move to the side, don't affect the advance of the army, otherwise ?" Lei Sheng's tone also eased up a bit, but his voice was naturally loud, even though his tone lacked enmity, it was still loud.

"Humph, not a big shot, not a small one!" The tall man beside the thin man suddenly interrupted in a displeased manner. If he didn't say it then it would be fine, but if he did, it would be like igniting a barrel of gunpowder. Oh, no, it would be equivalent to igniting the ammunition depot!

"You ?" Could it be that the two of you came here today just to cause trouble? Then don't blame me, Lei Sheng, for being impolite! " Lei Sheng's fiery temper was immediately ignited by these words, he glared angrily at the two and asked coldly.

"General Lei, don't be impatient. We have no ill intentions and our purpose in coming here is to see the new Grand Marshal! Please let me know! " The thin and frail looking man gestured to the man beside him before asking in the same gentle tone.

"Marshal? What Marshal, it has been a long time since the Empire has had a 'Marshal' position. We don't have any 'Marshal' here, I am the leader of a troop! Just look for me if you need anything! Also, what do you mean by injuring these people? This is also called 'without malice'? Are you trying to trick a ghost? " When Lei Sheng heard him mention the word 'Marshal', his heart skipped a beat, but his mind raced, and he immediately rejected the idea. He even craftily cut in on the topic, interrogating the other party as if he was the first to complain.

"Hmph, they are the ones who attacked first. If it wasn't for the Marshal, we would have already killed them. We are only injuring them and not crippling them. That would be letting them off easy!" The tall man once again opened his mouth and coldly snorted as he replied. It was as if killing people who were crippled were a common occurrence, and this time it was considered an exception.

"What big words! In other words, you were the one who hurt him, right? I, too, would like to experience your skills and see what kind of capital you have to be so arrogant! " Hearing that, Lei Sheng became enraged, shouted loudly, and urged his horse to rush out.

"You overestimate yourself!" The tall man replied in disdain. Then, his figure flashed and he disappeared from where he stood.

"The world! "Have mercy!" The thin man also only had time to say this.

A few short words were uttered at an extremely fast speed. However, before his words could fade away, the two men had already clashed with each other.

Lei Sheng rode his mount and rushed forward, waving his long axe in his hand. The wind was strong and cold, as though the movements of the axe had sucked all the air away, making it hard for people to breathe. Lei Sheng was a general who had experienced a lot of battles, hence, his killing intent was dense and imposing, causing people to be intimidated. This could be considered a type of attack method to gain momentum first, and adding to the strong inertia from the charging horses, when Lei Sheng used this momentum, the strength of his axe would far exceed ten thousand kilograms.

Lei Sheng was riding a horse, but he was walking, and the two of them were actually running into each other at the center.

As the burly man moved, his cloak fluttered in the wind, as if something was pulling at his cloak from behind. A cold light flashed, revealing a huge sword, but the sword was as light as a feather, it was easily wielded by the burly man.

"Boom!" A loud sound was heard, as if a meteorite had fallen from the sky. The sound of metal striking metal and the ear-piercing friction made people feel as if they were 'deafening'.

But in the next second, all of the guards who came with Lei Sheng were all struck dumb, as if they had seen something unbelievable. And those unbelievable things were like seeing an arm-sized snake eating an adult elephant in one gulp, or seeing an ant easily lifting a ten thousand year old tree up.

However, before the guards could react, they started to scream in pain. Because after the two of them clashed heavily against each other, they only felt that their vision had turned black, and then they were knocked upside down by two objects. These two objects were none other than General Lei Sheng and his mount, who had been sent flying backwards.

To be able to knock back the charging horses and men by himself, what kind of person would be able to do that? At least, this person had extraordinary strength! He then looked at that person, who seemed to be standing in the middle of the arena as if nothing had happened. It was impossible to tell from the red of his face that the hat on the cape worn by this person had always been on his head. Even though he was out of breath, he could still hear that his breathing was normal. There was no fluctuation in his breathing, no forceful suppression. It was smooth and smooth, just like a normal person's breathing.

Lei Sheng did not receive any injuries, but this fall caused his entire body to ache, and it was all thanks to the opponent's leniency. When he exchanged blows with the opponent, Lei Sheng clearly felt that the other party had retracted a bit of his strength, and using force to lift himself and his mount, as well as the cushion of a personal guard on the ground, caused Lei Sheng to not receive any serious injuries.

Lei Sheng clenched his teeth as he stood up. At this moment, he had nothing to say, not because he really did not know what to say, but because he was afraid that if he opened his mouth, his subordinates would let out miserable groans.

At this time, the guards had already left quietly. The enemy was so strong that they could no longer handle it, and could only report it to the Marshal and Chief Elder Cui Ziyi. With the Marshal's intelligence and the Great Clan Elder's skills, they believed that the two of them would definitely retreat if they knew the difficulties!

After going through many reports, the news finally reached Cui Ziyi, but Cui Ziyi felt that this was a little strange, although he was confident that he could force the other party to retreat, but he could not fight a battle without reason, furthermore, it was very strange that the other party wanted to see the Grand Marshal.

There was no such thing in the outside world, but the army had been marching in the mountains all this time, so the possibility of it being leaked was not high. Other than the people within the army, there was only His Majesty the Emperor and the President of the Council who knew about it, but was it possible for them to publicize it to the outside world? After all, it wasn't an official appointment, so the possibility wasn't very high. If that was the case, then how did they know about it?

Cui Ziyi felt that this matter was too outrageous, so he immediately ran over to find Gongsun Ze Tian, and dragged him towards the front of the army.

? ?.

It was only on the way that Gongsun Ze Tian finally understood what was going on. When he heard that Lei Sheng's charge was actually repelled by his opponent's attack, he became interested, as he was curious about the identity of the two of them.

Cui Ziyi brought the other four clan elders, along with Gongsun Ze Tian, a total of five people, and galloped at full speed along the path of the great army! Gongsun Ztian looked at the other four elders. Other than the white-robed elder, the rest of them seemed to be filled with the excitement of wanting to fight. This caused Gongsun Zaitian to subconsciously increase the distance between them and silently curse the 'Battle-Maniac' in his heart.

Of course, in the eyes of these old men, Gongsun Ze's talents were the real 'war maniacs'. He was able to make the entire army operate more efficiently, more conveniently, and more precisely, which was not something any of the famous generals could achieve. Furthermore, in a short period of time, he had raised the combat prowess of the elite troops to a whole new level. At the same time, the classic battle examples that Gongsun Zaitian mentioned made all of these old guys even more shocked. If such a person wasn't a 'war maniac', who was?
