The Human Emperor (200-400)

C300: Duel Between the Two Tigers!

The feeling this Hu young man gave Wang Chong was very different from the others around him. The others only viewed him with enmity, but in this one, he could feel animosity.

This wasn't just at the level of differing views, something must have happened between them in the past.

But Wang Chong couldn't recall seeing this person before.

Wang Chong had never really come into contact with the Hu in the capita. But even so, he had an inkling of the other party's identity.

There is a strict requirement that limits those who can enter Kunwu Training Camp. On top of that, there aren't too many Hu who dare to provoke me despite knowing my identity.

Wang Chong had some guesses as to who the Hu young man before him was.

Ignoring the Hu young man, Wang Chong walked across the group and to Chen Burang's side. Squatting down, he placed two fingers on Chen Burang's neck to check his condition.

"... Chen Burang has fainted from his severe injuries. We want to bring him out, but those group of people obstructed our path," Gao Feng and Nie Yan spoke in shame.

"We came here right after hearing the news, but it seems like the other party was intentionally luring us in to blow up the matter. Right after we arrived, they brought in even more reinforcements and overpowered us."

Chi Weisi added. Judging from his swollen face, he had also suffered quite a bit under the Hu.

"Gongzi, be careful. I recognize this man, he is Abutong, the second son of Great Hu General Abusi. Those men beside him are the elites of the Tongluo Tribe. From birth, those from the Tongluo Tribe choose a colt to accompany them for life. They treat their horses just like their closest kin, so their horses also gain human traits. As such, the Tongluo horses are known to be untamable by anyone except for those from the Tongluo Tribe. The Tongluo are famed to be the strongest cavalry in the world. These people won't be easy to deal with!" Zhuang Zhengping whispered with a grim expression.

The Chi Clan was known for their steel guards, whereas the Zhuang Clan was known for their steel cavalry. Naturally, he had a good grasp of the various elite troops in the world.

But even the elite steel cavalry which the Zhuang Clan took pride in couldn't compare with the elite cavalry of the Tongluo Tribe.

The Tongluo cavalry had to adhere to an extremely strict regimen and discipline, and in terms of how they treated their war steeds, the Zhuang Clan couldn't even begin to compare to them.

For one, every single Tongluo steed grew up with a Tongluo youth, and the both of them shared a very strong relationship. On top of that, their steeds were dressed in a close-fitting armor which shielded them from head to toe.

Just the cost of these armors in itself could easily range up to tens of thousands of gold.

Not even the Zhuang Clan could afford such an expenditure.

Before allying with Great Tang, the Tongluo Tribe served as mercenaries, and the money they earned was devoted to crafting such armor for their steeds.

At the same time, members of the Tongluo Tribe were also very adept at battle. The first food that newborn members of the Tongluo Tribe ate was raw food dripping with blood.

At seven years old, they would be expected to hunt wild wolves alone.

Their entire tribe took pride in combat, and it was a glory in itself to die in battle!

Furthermore, the members of the Tongluo Tribe also had a unique set of fighting and cultivation techniques. These were further refined over several millennia years of battle, and they were only passed down within their group.
