When Lin Tian learned of this matter, he did not object.
However, his army of 150,000 did not wait for the 300,000 strong army but set off first, heading for the Peacock Kingdom.
In Lin Tian's opinion, the subsequent 300,000 troops were for cleanup.
Since they were for cleanup, they naturally had to wait until the battle was over.
Therefore, it was completely fine for them to go a little later.
Lin Tian was not the only one with this idea; even the 150,000 strong army shared the same thought.
They all believed that the 300,000 troops were following behind them, responsible for the cleanup.
However, even so, they still felt a sense of crisis.
They felt that the 300,000 troops were eyeing their position, constantly wanting to replace them and charge at the very front of the battlefield.
This was something they were unwilling to see.
Because of this, they decided that once they reached the Peacock Kingdom, they would unleash all their combat power.
They would not give anyone else any opportunity to replace them.
This resulted in Lin Tian's 150,000 strong army setting off with great momentum and high morale.
Meanwhile, the people of the Peacock Kingdom were unaware that a powerful army was rapidly approaching them.
At this moment, they were still immersed in their own country, knowing very little about the outside world.
"Has anyone caused trouble recently??"
"Reporting to the King, someone was indeed dissatisfied and incited the people to cause trouble, but they were quickly suppressed!!"
"Oh? How were those troublemakers dealt with?"
"According to our previous method, they were hanged on the banks of the Ganges River in front of everyone!"
"Hmm! Not bad!!"
"However, the frequency of troublemaking has been a bit high recently. Someone causes trouble every so often. Are they dissatisfied with my rule??"
As he said this, the King of the Peacock Kingdom raised his eyelids.
Although he was asking, his eyes were full of disdain.
At this time, the Peacock Kingdom had a very clear class distinction.
In their view, only nobles could be considered human.
And only rules were worthy of communication with them.
As for the common people, they were just slaves, just livestock.
Even those with a little power could not be called ordinary people, but should be called lower beings.
Such people could be killed or dealt with as they pleased.
As for their opposition, it was more like a joke to them.
When the King of the Peacock Kingdom asked this, the minister who replied even let out a laugh.
"What right do those livestock have to resist the King?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as our army is still here, they will have no power to resist!!"
"After all, our elephant cavalry can easily crush them!!"
"No matter how powerful a person or army is, they cannot be an opponent of our elephant cavalry!!"
In the Peacock Kingdom, there was indeed a formidable army.
This army was the elephant cavalry, composed of elephants and soldiers.
They tamed wild elephants and then relied on the elephants' size to crush their enemies.
To ordinary people, the elephant cavalry was an invincible existence.
Just a few elephant cavalry could easily crush their defenses.
Even when encountering a powerful army, they could rely on their mighty elephant cavalry to break through the enemy's ranks.
Therefore, the people of the Peacock Kingdom were very confident in their elephant cavalry.
And the King of the Peacock Kingdom nodded upon hearing this.
He naturally knew about the most powerful force under his command.
The existence of the elephant cavalry was also something he was immensely proud of.
Therefore, he was extremely confident in his position.
However, he still did not want people causing trouble every day.
So, he opened his mouth and reminded:
"Tell those below that they cannot let them cause trouble every day!"
"Once troublemakers are found, hang them along with their entire families and friends. Only then will these people feel fear and dread!!"
"If they are afraid, then no one will cause trouble!!"
To quell those people, the King of the Peacock Kingdom did not hesitate to be ruthless and did not hesitate to kill more people.
The minister did not find this strange at all, nor did he speak in opposition.
Instead, he strictly followed the King of the Peacock Kingdom's orders.
After these orders were carried out, more people died in the Peacock Kingdom, and more people resisted.
However, due to the existence of the elephant cavalry, no matter how much those people resisted, they were easily suppressed.
This suppression also gave the upper class a different kind of pleasure.
They felt like they were crushing ants, and with a gentle squeeze, those people would all die.
This peculiar pleasure was very addictive.
Therefore, regardless of how those people resisted, they were still killed.
After killing them, many of them burst into laughter.
"I knew those livestock were useless. My elephant cavalry stepped on them, and they were crushed. They had no power to resist at all!!"
"Indeed, it's too easy to deal with them. We can kill them whenever we want!!"
"People like this dare to cause chaos in our Peacock Kingdom. They must have eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard. This group of people deserves to die. Killing them is killing them, and there's no need for any hesitation!!"
"Hmph! They are nothing but ants. If such people appear again, I will kill them!!"
Many of the elephant cavalry were the sons of nobles, and they completely looked down on ordinary commoners.
Even ordinary soldiers were, in their eyes, only slightly higher in status.
In the hearts of these elephant cavalry, they only respected the King of the Peacock Kingdom; they wouldn't even spare a glance for others.
This led to them being surprised when Lin Tian's army appeared before them, but their eyes still held disdain.
"Hmm? Where did this army come from? Why are there so many of them??"
"Not only are there many people, but they also have many horses. I feel like they are a group of nobles. Could it be that they intend to attack us??"
"Nobles? I think they are just a group of lower beings. Do people like this deserve to attack us? Pass down the order, gather our elephant cavalry, and crush them!!"
Although Lin Tian's army was numerous, the Peacock Kingdom's elephant cavalry had never fought against them.
Because of this, those people believed that Lin Tian's army had very little combat power.
Coupled with their long-standing arrogance within their own country.
Upon seeing Lin Tian's army now, they did not hesitate and directly ordered their men to charge.
