The people of Yutang had always thought that the Nine Supremes Lords were omnipotent and omnipotent, but they would never have thought that this was a ninth level mystical beast! Even if it was one of the Nine Supremes, how could he command such a high-level mystical beast?
After reading the letter, Shangguan Lingxiu frowned slightly. After a moment of contemplation, she ordered decisively, "Stop the ship at once, drop the anchor, and wait here. We'll wait here to communicate with the Empire of Ziyou's people. "
"Yes!"
The sails were lowered.
The ship slowly stopped moving until it was still on the water.
Whitey Two stood up and shook its fur, wagging its tail as it looked at Shangguan Lingxiu with a docile gaze.
"Awooo …"
Shangguan Lingxiu felt like she had fallen in love with this psychic leopard in a short amount of time. She asked reluctantly, "Little leopard, are you leaving now?"
The subordinate beside her rolled his eyes.
Little leopard?
How was it little?
That big guy could swallow three people in one gulp!
The lady usually had good eyesight. Why did it seem like her vision was blurred now?
"Awooo …"
"Why don't you have something to eat before you leave? I have a lot of delicious meat here. "Shangguan Lingxiu asked," Can you rest here before you leave? "
Whitey Two's eyes shone when it heard her. It looked at Shangguan Lingxiu hesitantly and turned to look at the road before lowering its head to look at its flat belly. "Awooo …"
"Alright! Bring it here immediately. Not only will we provide you with your fill, we'll also provide you with enough to eat! "Shangguan Lingxiu was overjoyed and ordered for a pile of meat to be brought over immediately.
Whitey Two was delighted to see its prey and began wolfing down the food. However, no matter how fast it ate, its movements were filled with a genuine elegance.
Whitey Two eventually sat on the ground with its legs crossed and opened its mouth wide, stuffing dozens of catties of meat into its mouth. It chewed twice before lowering its head to eat again.
It ate until its stomach was round. Only then did it lift its head to look at the leftover meat in front of it and howled reluctantly; its meaning was self-evident – I'm full! I can't eat anymore!
Shangguan Lingxiu's eyes were already glazed over for a long time. What am I seeing? This leopard had eaten more than six hundred kilograms of meat!
My goodness!
One meal was more than six hundred Jin of Xuan Beast meat.
One jin of Xuan Beast meat cost at least one silver tael. To raise such a fellow, three meals a day would cost at least 1,800 taels?
This was a super big eater. Who could afford to feed him?!
The well-fed leopard paced slowly on the deck, looking up at the sky. Shangguan Lingxiu knew that she could not make him stay any longer, so she could only wave goodbye reluctantly.
Whitey Two leaped into the air with a whoosh and cried out excitedly, "Meow, meow, meow …"
This shout immediately caused the people below to be thrown off their feet!
My God!
You're a leopard!
It was a top-grade Xuan Beast!
How could he make such a sound?
It was simply … a complete destruction of one's worldview and moral integrity!
Whitey Two seemed to have realized its mistake. This could easily expose its identity, right?
Thus, he hurriedly tried to salvage the situation. He raised his head and howled, "Ahwooh, ahwooh …"
After shouting like this a few times, he left as fast as lightning.
Shangguan Lingxiu stood on the deck in a daze, her mind still muddled.
Meow, meow, meow?
This sound … Why did it sound so familiar?
Yun Yang had a few cats in his house … That was probably how they called out … Those cats seemed to be … white as well …
Was this a coincidence?
Wasn't it too much of a coincidence?!
…
"Stop the ship at the Lunar River and turn the bow of the ship. Approach the dense forest on one side. Be on guard day and night, be cautious in everything. This way, we can attack and retreat. Once we encounter danger, abandon the ship and go ashore. Retreat into the dense forest and disperse. Our priority is to stay alive. "
"Even if we encounter the most perilous situation, do not enter Zilong City to hide!"
"Zilong City is a trap, a death trap set specifically for us!"
Shangguan Lingxiu pinched the letter with a slight frown.
Supreme Wind's letter had arrived. She had followed Supreme Wind's instructions and docked the ship at the entrance of the dense forest, hundreds of miles away from Zilong City.
However, there was still quite a distance to their destination. How could they accomplish their goal this time?
Shangguan Lingxiu had long planned for the trap on the other side. The other party had directly revealed their trump card of wanting to destroy their ancestor's remains – their bottom line was already known – they were not going to be easy to deal with. However, Granduncle Wudi's remains had been left in Ziyou for too many years. The Shangguan Family of Generals really wanted to welcome him home and bury him in the ancestral grave. Even when they knew that the other party was treacherous, they had still gone forward bravely, never to return!
However, the current situation seemed to indicate that their goal could not be accomplished. At least, Shangguan Lingxiu had yet to think of a way to bring their ancestor back. What worried Shangguan Lingxiu more was that the other party would really destroy their ancestor's remains in a fit of rage when they saw that she had not entered the trap. Not only would both sides suffer, the Shangguan Family of Generals' long-cherished wish would be hard to fulfill.
"Let's see what the Empire of Ziyou is up to. If it really doesn't work out, I'll only bring a few guards and sneak into Zilong City. I'll do my best to retrieve my ancestor's remains no matter what."
Shangguan Lingxiu frowned and made up her mind.
…
A few days after Yun Yang's arrival in Zilong City, the entire continent's situation suddenly changed drastically.
The Empire of Yutang's Board of Military received numerous alerts, like snowflakes falling from the sky.
Dongxuan's six-hundred-thousand-strong army had officially departed in the midst of the heavy winter snow. They were only a thousand and five hundred miles away from Dongxuan's Fortress of Resilience!
According to Dongxuan's Shadow Cavalry's estimation, the distance of a thousand and five hundred miles could be covered in less than three days. In addition, they could still maintain their full combat power. In other words, the war could break out in three days at the earliest!
The rest of Dongxuan's troops would arrive in eight days as well!
The extreme war would begin in full force after nine days at the latest!
It was the middle of winter, and it was freezing cold and snowy. The attacking side would never delay the battle. Every additional day of delay was equivalent to driving their own warriors closer to the grim reaper. Naturally, their attacks would be as fast and as ferocious as they could be!
It was foreseeable that the battle this time would be unprecedentedly extreme and tragic!
Han Sanhe took command personally, mobilizing all the troops in the country. The Empire of Dongxuan had already issued a conscription order.
It was said that Dongxuan's emperor's promise to Han Sanhe for this war was, "Marshal, don't worry about the frontline. I'll guard the rear and gather the rations and soldiers myself! The war this time will be in the middle of winter, the conditions are unprecedentedly tough. However, I promise here that not a single grain of rations will be missing! Not a single silver coin will be missing! Not a single military supply will be missing! There won't be any worries at all! "
"The tiger talisman and dragon sword are in your hands. Marshal Han can handle everything as you wish! During the war, wherever the marshal is on the battlefield, it'll be as if I'm there personally! "
"When you're at war, if there's any accusation in the imperial court, no matter the reason, it'll be dealt with as treason. The entire family will be executed, not even the fowls and dogs will be spared!"
"When you're at war with Yutang, your six-hundred-thousand-strong army will be the vanguard. I promise that the subsequent three million reinforcements will arrive in batches and rush into the battlefield as quickly as possible!"
Han Sanhe's answer was, "This official would rather die in service of the country, swearing to create a great cause for Your Majesty! If this war fails, Han Sanhe can only die on the battlefield and repay it with his own life! "
In the Nation of Dongxuan, the call to unite the world for generations to come suddenly shook the imperial court, spreading to every corner of Dongxuan's territory.
"The war this time is the time to unite the world! Every man of Dongxuan should wield his saber on the battlefield to earn fame, to lay the foundation of Dongxuan's eternal dominance and to shine for generations to come! "
"Twelve transformations of Strategical Merit! With the merit, you'll rise to the top! "
All the men of Dongxuan were fired up when they heard the announcement, their blood boiling as they eagerly signed up to enlist in the military.
The empire's eternal dominance began today; a man's lifetime of fame, riches, and honor could be obtained immediately!
Beheading one level would result in one transformation of military merit; beheading three levels would result in three transformations of military merit. Once the world was at peace, those who signed up could at least earn the rank of a county constable when it came to rewards! This was a solid official's position!
Beheading four levels would allow one to become a military officer; above six levels, one would be a deputy general, a deputy general, or a subordinate general …
The division of military merit that was clearly stated this time was extremely detailed!
Dongxuan's emperor made an oath to heaven during the war ceremony, "This war is different from the rest. Anyone who has military merit, embezzlement, false report, or impersonation will be punished the same as a commoner even if the prince breaks the law! Once it's verified, the officials, secretaries, and those who participated will not be pardoned and their families will be executed! "
The entire Nation of Dongxuan was boiling with excitement in the face of such an imperial edict.
When Han Sanhe departed, Dongxuan's emperor sent him to the city gate in his military attire, pouring him fine wine and sending him off with a bow.
"When the emperor returns in triumph, I shall personally lead the civil and military officials to welcome you from a thousand miles away, to congratulate you on your meritorious deed!"
…
As the explosive news spread, Yutang's imperial court was shaken as well.
