The next morning, a large group of influential figures gathered in the inn to discuss how to deal with the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. The people who expressed their opinions the most were Jianchen, Jianchen, and the King. Qin Ji also chimed in occasionally. As for the ten Imperial Advisors and three generals of the Qin Empire, they did not say anything. Their mission was only to contribute their strength. As for how to deal with the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, the decision was still in Jianchen's hands.
At this moment, a soldier of the Eastern Sword Legion ran in and knelt on one knee, "Reporting to the General, the Eastern Sword Legion's five hundred thousand troops have all been assembled."
"I didn't expect them to be assembled so quickly. It's much faster than I expected." Qin Ji chuckled.
Qin Wuming looked at Jianchen and said, "Imperial Protector, what should we do next?"
Jianchen stood up and said, "Set out immediately!"
Next, a group of people rode out of Lore City on their magical beast mounts. This time, the army was accompanied by the ten Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire, Qin Wuming and his sons, the Third Prince Qin Ji, Changyang Ba, Jianchen, Princess You Yue, Ming Dong, Dugu Feng, as well as Doctor An and Yun Zheng, who had just arrived not long ago.
In addition, the King of the Kingdom of Gesun had also personally led the army. Along with him were two experts from the Kingdom of Gesun. They were the Dean of Kargath Academy, Kafir, and Ye Ming, who had stayed behind to guard the palace.
The group of people left Lore City. From afar, they could see that a large group of people had already gathered a few kilometers away from the city. A vast aura filled the surrounding space. Even though they were far away, they could clearly feel a huge pressure that affected Lore City. All the mercenaries and merchants entering and leaving Lore City couldn't help but look sideways. Endless discussions could be heard, but very few people dared to go over and take a look.
A group of people, led by Jian Chen, all rode their magical beast mounts to the front of the army. They saw the five hundred thousand soldiers of the Eastern Deity Sword Legion standing in a neat square formation. Every one of them was expressionless, but their gazes were piercingly cold. Beside every soldier, there was a huge green wolf that was over three meters long lying on the ground.
The Qin Empire had a specialized breeding ground for magical beasts. As one of the most elite legions of the Qin Empire, every soldier of the Eastern Sword Legion was equipped with a magical beast. These magical beasts had only arrived through the Spatial Gate.
Seeing this scene, Jianchen's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect that in such a short period of time, not only had the five hundred thousand soldiers arrived through the Spatial Gate in advance, but they had also brought along so many magical beasts. What surprised him even more was that the Qin Empire was able to train these savage magical beasts into such obedient mounts. He couldn't help but admire the methods of the Qin Empire from the bottom of his heart.
The Deputy Commander of the Eastern Sword Legion, Qin Wuming, came to the front of the army and shouted, "All soldiers, get on your mounts and set off!"
The five hundred thousand soldiers of the Eastern Sword Legion didn't say a word. They jumped onto the magical beast mounts lying at their feet in an orderly manner. Then, they were led away by Jianchen and the rest. The entire army marched toward the border of the Kingdom of Gesun in a grandiose manner.
At this moment, a large group of people had gathered at the gate of Lore City. Everyone's eyes were filled with curiosity as they looked at the army in silver-white armor. They were whispering to each other.
"Who are these people? How can they emit such a powerful aura? Even I feel a chill down my spine!"
"Could this be some large-scale mercenary group doing something big?"
"How is that possible? Let's not talk about the fact that our Gesun Kingdom doesn't have such a powerful mercenary group. Even the surrounding kingdoms don't have such a large mercenary group. Look at this long line, there must be at least a few hundred thousand people."
"This should be an army, but since when did the Gesun Kingdom have such a valiant army? Just the aura they're emitting is enough to make me tremble in fear. They're like ferocious beasts. An army like this is too frightening."
"The Kingdom of Gesun doesn't seem to have such an army. Look at their flag. It's not the flag of the Kingdom of Gesun at all. However, there is the word 'Qin' on the flag. Recently, the Imperial Advisor of the Qin Empire appeared in the Kingdom of Gesun. Do you think this is the army of the Qin Empire?"
"Do you see the magical beasts riding beside them? They are all Class 2 and Class 3 magical beasts. I even noticed quite a number of Class 4 magical beasts. Oh my god, just these magical beasts alone are enough to make them a terrifying force."
"Look at the few people at the front of the line. Isn't that man in a white robe the King of the Kingdom of Gesun? His Majesty is leading such a large army into battle. Is he going to deal with the allied army of the four kingdoms? "
"A few days ago, the experts of the Kingdom of Heavenly Eagle came to the Kingdom of Gesun and destroyed a large part of the palace. I think His Majesty is leading the army to deal with the Kingdom of Heavenly Eagle!"
The advance of an army of five hundred thousand deterred everyone. The gates of Lore City were completely blocked, and there were already over a thousand people gathered here to watch the soldiers of the Eastern Divine Sword Legion slowly leave. Discussions could be heard everywhere, incessantly ringing in the ears.
On the city walls, the city lord of Lore City, the members of the other three clans, as well as many other people of status, had all gathered here. Everyone stared blankly at the vast army in front of them. Their faces were slack.
At this point, everyone understood in their hearts that the Kingdom of Gesun was able to climb up to the Qin Empire because of the Fourth Young Master of Changyang Prefecture. Now that they had the support of the Qin Empire, the Kingdom of Gesun would soon become the dominant figure in this region.
The army of five hundred thousand began to speed up after they got on the official road. As everyone was riding on magical beasts that were good at speed, they ran like the wind and lightning. Wherever the army passed, a large amount of yellow dust would be kicked up from the ground. Smoke and dust filled the sky and covered the sun. If it were not for the fact that the Eastern Divine Sword Legion was a group of well-trained soldiers, just the extremely high speed of the army would have caused chaos in the formation of the army. How could they still be in such good condition?
This time, Jianchen and the fifteen Heaven Saint Masters in the army gave up on flying. Instead, they all rode on magical beasts. With Jianchen in the lead, they quickly led the army to the south in a triangular formation.
The Kingdom of Heavenly Eagle was to the south of the Kingdom of Gesun. The army had to pass through the southern fort to reach the Antiles Kingdom. After that, they would have to pass through the territories of two kingdoms to reach the Kingdom of Heavenly Eagle. The journey was extremely long. Even with the speed of a Heaven Saint Master, it would take them two days to reach the Kingdom of Heavenly Eagle. On the other hand, the army would need ten days to reach the Kingdom of Heavenly Eagle.
After two days of rapid travel, the army of five hundred thousand arrived at the southern fort. When the general in charge of the fort received the news, he had already led his men to wait ten kilometers away.
The army rested for a while at the southern fort. Then, another army of five hundred thousand from the Kingdom of Gesun joined in. They mingled with the Eastern Divine Sword Legion of the Qin Empire. Within the army of a million, two flags flew. One was the flag of the Qin Empire, while the other was the flag of the Kingdom of Gesun.
This was something that the king of the Kingdom of Gesun and Jianchen had discussed long ago. This was also to announce to the outside world that the relationship between the Kingdom of Gesun and the Qin Empire had reached a level of closeness. This action was also to intimidate the surrounding kingdoms.
The million-strong army headed south, approaching the Antilles Kingdom in the south. Wherever the army passed, the merchants and mercenaries would make way for them, leaving behind all sorts of discussions. At the same time, all sorts of information was passed into the hands of the various factions in the surrounding kingdoms.
The king of the Antiles Kingdom also received news that the army of a million from the Kingdom of Gesun was heading towards his kingdom as soon as possible. When he saw the flag of the Qin Empire fluttering in the wind, the king immediately paled in fright. His entire body trembled, and he immediately called for a meeting with his ministers.
In the imperial palace of the Antiles Kingdom, several dozen ministers and civil and military officials were gathered in the discussion hall. The atmosphere was extremely heavy.
"I never thought that the relationship between the Kingdom of Gesun and the Qin Empire would be even closer than we imagined. They've actually sent an army to reinforce the Kingdom of Gesun. According to the information we've gathered in the past two days, five hundred thousand of them belong to the Qin Empire. They're the most elite troops. Every single one of them has a powerful magical beast as a mount. They're extremely powerful, and we don't know how many Heaven Saint Masters they have. Everyone, what do you think we should do?" The king of the Antiles Kingdom sat on his throne and spoke with a heavy voice. His face was extremely solemn, and his brows were furrowed with worry.
"Your majesty, there's no need for us to worry. We've already surrendered to the Kingdom of Gesun in the war back then, and we've even given them a large amount of compensation. It's basically a perfect solution to the problem. The Kingdom of Gesun won't be able to cause us any more trouble. According to the information we received from our spies in the Kingdom of Gesun two days ago, the Kingdom of Gesun is most likely going to deal with the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. Our Antiles Kingdom just happens to be between the Kingdom of Gesun and the Antiles Kingdom, so I'm certain that the Kingdom of Gesun wants to go through our Antiles Kingdom to reach the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, "said an old general in armor.
"Your majesty, I completely agree with Old General Mu's opinion. The experts of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom caused trouble in the Kingdom of Gesun a few days ago. Not only did they destroy the palace, but they even captured the king of the Kingdom of Gesun. Without a doubt, this is a vicious slap to the face of the Kingdom of Gesun. As a result, I also believe that the Kingdom of Gesun is going to deal with the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom and not our Antiles Kingdom, so we can be at ease."
Hearing the two's words, the Andles Kingdom's king sat on his throne and pondered for a while before nodding, "My two beloved subjects, your words are very reasonable. Right now, the relationship between the Gesun Kingdom and the Qinhuang Kingdom is as close as brothers. We absolutely cannot afford to offend them. Since they want to go through the Andles Kingdom to the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, then the Andles Kingdom will open our doors wide and let them pass."
