The onlookers were all shocked by this scene, unable to utter a word.
They thought that with 200 people from Yu Village facing over 1,000 people from Mang Village, they would surely be at a disadvantage. Little did they know, Mang Village's people were instead beaten without any ability to fight back, completely contrary to everyone's expectations.
Mingbei stared blankly at the battlefield ahead, murmuring, "No wonder before coming out, Lord Witch Doctor repeatedly urged me to build good relations with Yu Village, not to provoke trouble."
The battlefield ahead offered no opportunity for their intervention. Mang Village's supposedly elite force of over a thousand warriors became one-sided prey.
Was it that he didn't wake up today, or did Mang Village's people suddenly become useless?
Mingbei knew clearly that Mang Village's people couldn't suddenly become useless.
It was just that the people from Yu Village were too powerful.
This reversal left Mingbei and the others dumbfounded. Even Mang Village's residents were bewildered; those in the front who had their heads swiftly harvested remained clueless about what had happened.
"How... is this possible..."
"Retreat, quickly retreat!"
The Mang Village people who realized what was happening panicked and shouted.
Yu Mang sneered, "You want to escape? Not so easy!"
He leaped from the crowd, scanned the surroundings, found Mang Dou with his gaze, exchanged a silent smile, and jumped towards Mang Dou.
Mang Dou, the most brave warrior of Mang Village for many years, felt fear for the first time just from a gaze.
*Bang!*
Yu Mang's big knife cut Mang Dou's weapon in half, and Mang Dou was shaken backward.
Yu Mang's second move was already in front of him. Weaponless, Mang Dou could only awkwardly dodge. In the next moment, he saw the knife slashing towards his face.
It's over!
Just when Mang Dou thought he would become a soul under the blade, a voice saved him.
"Yu Mang, spare his life."
After this voice descended from the sky, Yu Mang's knife stopped just in front of Mang Dou's nose, a step away from splitting him in half.
Mang Dou's legs softened, sitting on the ground, scared to the point of urinating.
Yu Mang looked at him with disdain, sheathed his knife, and said, "Really useless. Hurry up and clean yourself up, don't dirty other people's eyes."
Mang Dou panted heavily, full of fear, not caring about cleaning himself up.
Yu Mang clicked his tongue and ignored him, turning around and looking up at the sky. He joyfully shouted, "Brother Yu Su!"
Others quickly looked up to the sky, seeing Yu Su and Lu Yan hovering. The warriors of Yu Village were used to this scene, but for others, it was their first time.
This scene greatly shocked Mingbei, and his knees felt weak.
Is this a person or a god?
Yu Su and Lu Yan descended with their flying swords, walking towards this side.
The fighting had already stopped. Mang Village's people looked at Yu Su and Lu Yan, retreating in fear. Many were trembling.
"Brother Yu Su, the people of Mang Village want to capture us. We were forced to fight them." Yu Mang quickly came over to explain.
The warriors of Yu Village also said, "Yes, yes, Lord Yu Su, it's really not our intention to fight. Mang Village's people are too wicked; we were forced. They bullied us."
Others: "???"
Listening to what Yu Mang and the others said, Mingbei and the others almost doubted life.
Who was bullying whom in this situation was really hard to say!
Yu Su walked in front of Mang Dou, standing six or seven steps away. "Are you the new village chief of Mang Village? What's your name?"
Mang Dou, who had lost his previous domineering attitude, saw Yu Su approaching and was so scared that he supported himself with his hands and elbows, retreating in fear.
At this moment, hearing Yu Su's question, he stammered, "Mang... Mang Dou."
Yu Su said, "So you're Chief Mang Dou. Why did you lead people to block our road construction team from Yu Village?"
Mang Dou had long regretted his decision. He regretted not heeding the advice of Mang Village's witch doctor, thinking he was smart in leading people to block Yu Village's team, only to end up in such a situation.
If he had known it would be like this, even if given ten guts, he wouldn't have come!
"I-I-I just came to take a look, I didn't mean to do anything." Mang Dou stuttered.
Yu Mang sneered, "Do you think we're fools? We all remember what you said just now. Come clean, or I'll chop off your head!"
Mang Dou choked, "I beg you, don't kill me."
Trembling, he confessed the intention behind bringing people.
Yu Su, puzzled, asked, "Is this really Mang Village's territory?"
Mang Dou, now cautious, hastily shook his head and said, "No, no, no. I made a mistake. This isn't Mang Village's territory."
Yu Su said, "So it's a misunderstanding."
Mang Dou vigorously nodded.
Yu Su smiled, "But you caused trouble with your people, injuring my warriors from Yu Village, frightening the villagers from Sanhe Village and others. We can't let it go just like that."
Mang Dou inquired fearfully, "What do you want?"
Yu Su replied, "At least Mang Village should compensate for medical expenses, mental distress, and lost wages."
Mang Dou, bewildered, didn't understand exactly what Yu Su meant, but he got the idea that he had to compensate for something. "As long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to give you money!"
Yu Su chuckled, "Since Chief Mang Dou agrees, it's settled. Yu Mang, escort Chief Mang Dou and his people back to the village and bring back their compensation."
Yu Mang's eyes lit up, "Got it!"
Before leaving, he asked Yu Su, "Brother Yu Su, can I empty their treasury?"
Yu Su thought for a moment, "Don't take too much, leave some."
Yu Mang grinned, "Alright!"
Leaving something behind meant leaving at least one coin. Yu Mang, with over two hundred people, cheerfully escorted Mang Dou and the others back to Mang Village.
Mang Dou and his group returned with dejection, looking disheveled.
After they left, Mingbei and the others felt awkward, not knowing how to greet Yu Su.
"Lord Yu Su, Leader Lu," Mingbei and his group approached, bowing in salute.
Yu Su helped him up, smiling gently, "Are you all okay? I'm sorry for scaring you."
They hurriedly shook their heads, "It's okay, we're fine."
Mingbei explained, "It was Mang Village bullying us, Captain Meng and his team protected us."
Yu Su said, "That's good. When they bring back the compensation from Mang Village, we'll share it with everyone to ease your minds."
Mingbei quickly said, "No, we don't need it."
Yu Su insisted, "Don't be polite. Mang Village's compensation shouldn't go to waste."
Mingbei nodded, "Alright, we'll follow your lead."
Did Yu Su's witch doctor have a different plan than he thought? Yu Su said, "By the way, please help bury these bodies to avoid leaving them exposed in the wilderness."
Mingbei nodded quickly and led his people to bury the bodies.
After having something to do, everyone felt relieved and approached to help.
...
Yu Mang and his group returned near evening.
The reason for their delay was that they drove a batch of wild horses, each carrying several large sacks. The sacks were filled to the brim with good things.
"Brother Yu Su, I brought back the compensation from Mang Village!"
Yu Su took a glance. There were over two hundred large sacks. Did Yu Mang and his team really empty Mang Village's warehouse?
Mingbei and the others were also stunned, thinking that Mang Village was truly in trouble with so many things.
Yu Su cleared his throat, "Well done. Give some to the villagers who helped with the road construction. They were also frightened."
Mingbei and his group were astonished but nodded in agreement.
Yu Mang snorted, "Do you think we're fools? We all remember what you said just now. Come clean, or I'll chop off your head!"
Mang Dou whimpered, "Please, don't kill me."
Shaking with fear, he confessed his intention of bringing people.
Yu Su, puzzled, asked, "Is this really Mang Village's territory?"
Mang Dou, now cautious, hastily shook his head, "No, no, no. I made a mistake. This isn't Mang Village's territory."
