Chapter 1080 - 490: Engaged to Dina! Hellish Training!_2
Suo Mo, his temper flaring, grabbed a jug of water and drank it in one gulp, then said: "And you speak of going out on your own, establishing your own tribe. Do you have any idea how dangerous the outside world is? Fierce beasts roam everywhere, and countless tribes glare at each other like predators. I can guarantee that if we establish a tribe, the next day there will be a dozen tribes attacking us, slaughtering every one of us. This is not like your Tianshui City; all you need to do is comfortably inherit the position of City Lord, without any bloodshed, without any wars, and simply enjoy the rewards. You are still young; you don’t understand anything yet. Things aren’t as easy as you make them out to be. Don’t aim high while underestimating reality."
Lanling took a deep breath and said quietly: "Uncle, four years ago, when Father died, I lost the Tianshui City Territory. My sister and I fled like stray dogs, homeless and destitute. Yet in just over six months, I led a thousand troops to reclaim my Tianshui City. Then, Shaojun Zhi Li of the Rage Wave Kingdom mobilized all their forces to campaign against me. Using only the five-hundred-mile Tianshui City, I fought against the Rage Wave Kingdom’s territory that spans ten thousand miles. In three years, my forces waged three major wars. With the armies of Tianshui City, I killed over six hundred thousand enemy troops. Over those three years, I defeated Shaojun of the Rage Wave Kingdom, crushed all feudal lords, all warlords, and all aristocrats. With the power of just one city, I paved the way for my fiancée, Princess Zhi Yan, to ascend to the throne as Queen of the Rage Wave Kingdom. With merely a five-hundred-mile city, I conquered a kingdom spanning ten thousand miles."
Upon hearing Lanling’s words, Suo Mo and Dina were completely stunned.
Suo Mo didn’t know what Lanling had gone through; he thought Lanling’s exile into the Barbaric Wilds was merely due to a minor conflict or personal grudges.
Because Lanling’s martial prowess was weak, Suo Mo assumed that before his exile to the Barbaric Wilderness, he was just a boastful, over-confident nobleman.
"Then... then why did you end up here?" Suo Mo asked.
Lanling replied: "Because the blood in my veins provoked relentless hunting across the Human World. My wife... killed me with her own hands!"
At those words, Dina’s tears surged out uncontrollably.
Suo Mo asked: "Then, your family, your Tianshui City—what happened?"
