Chapter 379: How Beautiful is the SaintessChapter 759 Iron Wolf Guard

Outside the city gates, flags fluttered at the Yingke Pavilion.

After stepping down from the carriage, Dantai Jing bowed to Su Zhen'ting and said with a smile, "General Su, how are you"

"Good sir."

Facing Dantai Jingzhi, Su Zhen'ting also showed great respect.

After the greetings, Su Zhen-ting took the initiative to bring up the topic: “I heard that Mr. has been busy with the construction of the academy today. Is there any progress”

"Speaking of this, Dàntái Jìngzhī immediately beamed with joy: "With the full support of His Royal Highness the Prince, the progress is very fast. The first batch of students should be able to enroll this summer."

"That's great."

Su Zhen Ting nodded and said, "His Highness attaches great importance to the construction of the academy. He has made sufficient preparations in terms of funding and personnel. This academy is sure to be renowned throughout history, and as the first dean, sir will also be praised by posterity."

Waving his hand, Dantai Jingzhi said: "Fame and fortune are like clouds to me. Moreover, if we're talking about merit, the greatest credit should go to Your Highness. If it weren't for his importance placed on this matter, none of this would have been possible, let alone progressing so quickly."

Flattery and attributing accomplishments to superiors are, after all, politically correct practices in official circles.

Su Zheting nodded and said, "Yes, yes."

The two chatted absentmindedly for a few more words. At the end of the official road, a Liao flag appeared first, followed by a cavalry detachment of about a hundred men escorting several carriages in the middle of the procession.

Over a hundred cavalrymen, each clad in black armor from head to toe, towered over everyone else. Every single one stood at least five foot nine or taller. The standardized black armor they wore was top-notch, even by the standards of the Qin Empire's capital. Ordinary troops wouldn't have been allowed to wear such fine equipment.

These cavalrymen were most notable for the curved swords they wore at their hips and three-meter long spears they carried on their backs. Their face masks, which covered their faces except for their nostrils and eyes, each had a wolf head branded on their foreheads as a mark.

More than a hundred cavalrymen, their number wasn't large, but as they moved, they were disciplined and controlled. Every soldier's pace was the same, the distance between them in all directions remained nearly constant.

If they were infantry, it wouldn't be surprising to see such well-trained soldiers marching in this manner.

But these were cavalry, their mounts nothing more than animals at heart, yet still trained to such a degree. It showed the elite level of this cavalry unit had reached, a terrifying level indeed.

Looking at the approaching cavalry from afar, Su Zhen'ting's face was as dark as water.

As the commander of the Qin Empire's military, he knew all too well that these cavalrymen came from the Liao Kingdom's most elite Iron Wolf Guard.

Even though the average person in Liao was capable of riding horses, with the whole country literally carried on horseback, the number of Tie Lang Wei soldiers amounted to only 30,000.

And these three thousand men were the elite of Liaoning's elite, the top-tier aces.

Over the years, this Iron Wolf Guard has slaughtered countless soldiers of the Qin Empire.

During the Yueya Pass incident, a cavalry force of two thousand men from the Iron Wolf Guard managed to break through the Qin army's formation of thirteen thousand soldiers, slaughtering six or seven thousand.

This battle was a disgrace that the Qin Empire will never forget.

"Father, this squad of Iron Wolf Guard are fully armed and prepared for battle. At any moment, with a single order, they can draw their charging spears from their backs and launch an assault. Ordinary guards wouldn't be equipped with such weapons; they're here to intimidate us." Su Pingbei, the eldest son of General Su Da. He just returned from a victorious battle; I believe you must have heard of him”Li Peipei softly said, “General Su is impressive at a young age. Peipei ha...
