As the commander-in-chief of the Holy Sword Mercenary Army, Yeshma was the undisputed leader of this region. Nobody had dared to challenge him.
But now, the Li family had risen and seemed to be challenging the Holy Sword Mercenary Army.
"It's just a tiny mercenary army and you want Holy Sword to fight?" Yeshma scoffed coldly. "You want me to lower myself and fight the Li family army? What a joke!”
The Holy Sword Mercenary Army had 50,000 men!
There was no other army like his in the Middle East. The second and third place armies had to combine themselves to match up to the Holy Sword Mercenary Army.
If he went out there to destroy the Li family army, he would look like he was bullying them.
"I was wrong! The Li family army isn't worth the effort of Holy Sword!" responded the subordinate.
If they made an attack, it meant that they were acknowledging that the Li family army was powerful and had been noticed by the Holy Sword Mercenary Army. That was doing the Li family army a favor instead.
"But I don't like them," continued Yeshma before his subordinate could finish what he wanted to say.
The subordinate's mouth was still half open but he didn't know what to say now.
This change happened too quickly.
"They've made me upset and it's affecting my sleep," said Yeshma. "I have to punish them."
"Please send orders!" his subordinate said respectfully.
He didn't want to guess what Yeshma was thinking about anymore and just waited for orders.
"Take 20,000 men and destroy half their army," said Yeshma quietly but murderously. "No need to wipe them out, just half."
This was just a warning, so it didn't look like the Holy Sword Mercenary Army was bullying them.
"Yes, sir!" the subordinate responded.
Destroying the entire Li family army with 20,000 men wasn't a problem. Destroying only half meant that they had to show some mercy, which was even harder.
