After traveling for a day and a half, the army of a million from the Kingdom of Gesun and the Qin Empire finally arrived at the fortress on the border of the Andles Kingdom. Just when the army was twenty kilometers away from the fortress, they saw a large group of people gathered in the distance. Several flags of the Andles Kingdom were planted in the ground, fluttering in the wind.
Seeing the situation up ahead, Ming Dong rode over to Jianchen's side on his magical beast. He pointed up ahead and said, "Brother, look. There are actually people from the Andles Kingdom over there. Don't tell me they think we've come to attack them."
Jianchen had already observed the situation up ahead with his soul. He gently shook his head with a smile and said, "No, no. They've come to receive us."
"Receive us?" Ming Dong was slightly surprised, but he soon understood. "Hehe, that makes sense. Looks like the deterrence of the Qin Empire's army really is extraordinary. They've actually scared the Andles Kingdom so much that they've come to receive us ten kilometers away from the fortress."
"Hehe, of course. The Qin Empire is one of the eight great nations of the Tian Yuan Continent. Their strength is unquestionable. A tiny kingdom like the Andles can't even compare to our Kingdom of Gesun, so how can they not fear the Qin Empire? I believe that the king of the Andles Kingdom will be among the people who've come to receive us this time." The king of the Kingdom of Gesun chuckled as he walked behind them. His face was filled with indescribable pride.
As they chatted and laughed, they arrived ten kilometers away from the fortress of the Andles Kingdom very soon. They were only a hundred meters away from the group that had come to receive them.
The king of the Kingdom of Gesun had guessed correctly. The group that had come to receive them were all royalty, ministers, and armored generals of the Andles Kingdom. There were over a hundred of them, and the leader was an old man in his sixties. He wore a crown and a dragon robe. He was the king of the Andles Kingdom. All of them looked exhausted. It was obvious that they had rushed over from the Imperial Palace and did not have time to rest.
The Andles King stepped forward with a solemn expression, cupping his hands towards the army and saying, "This King is the Andles King, leading all the civil and military officials of the Qinhuang Kingdom to welcome the distinguished guests of the Qinhuang Kingdom. My Andles Kingdom warmly welcomes the distinguished guests of the Qinhuang Kingdom." As he spoke, the King of the Antilles Kingdom was also sizing up the crowd. Jianchen, who was walking at the front, naturally caught his attention at first glance. He thought to himself, This person must be the person with the highest status in the Qin Empire. Immediately, King Arles looked at Jianchen with undisguised respect.
The advancing speed of the million-strong army gradually slowed down, and they finally stopped when they were 20 meters away from the Antilles Kingdom.
No one spoke. Jianchen pondered for a moment, then turned to the king behind him and said softly, "Your Majesty, you go and negotiate with him."
"Good, good, good!" The King's face was full of smiles, and he was incomparably happy. Jianchen's actions were clearly raising his status.
The King rode a rank 3 magical beast, the Golden Lion, and slowly walked forward to negotiate with King Andles.
Seeing Jianchen's actions, King Andles was even more certain of his thoughts. The young man walking at the front was the leader of this group, and his status in the Qin Empire had to be extremely high.
The two sides quickly finished negotiating. The King did not appear to be very friendly with King Andles, and he only calmly stated that the army was going to pass through the Antilles Kingdom and head towards the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. King Andles had already guessed this. Not only did he not refuse, he even agreed. His attitude was so enthusiastic that it was as if he could not have asked for more.
The King did not exchange too many pleasantries with King Andles. He then returned to the army, and the army continued to advance towards the fortress ten kilometers away.
Seeing that the army had already passed by him, King Andles had an anxious look on his face. He quickly ran up to Jianchen, who was walking at the front, and said respectfully, "Your … Your Majesty." King Andles knew that Jianchen represented the Qin Empire, and his status was probably even higher than the Imperial Advisor of the Qin Empire. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for such a person to come to the Andles Kingdom. He wanted to get closer to Jianchen, and try to climb up the tree of the Qin Empire, just like the Kingdom of Gesun.
However, he did not get his wish in the end. Jianchen did not even look at him. He gradually increased the speed of his magical beast mount. His shouts were quickly drowned out by the deafening sound of hooves, and he was left behind by the rapidly advancing army.
Looking at the army that belonged to the Kingdom of Gesun and the army of the Qin Empire mixed together, King Andles let out a long sigh. He felt very fortunate that he had made the decision to surrender to the Kingdom of Gesun in time when the Kingdom of Gesun was at war with the Kingdom of Gesun. He had also given them a large amount of compensation and resolved the matter a step earlier. Otherwise, this army of a million wouldn't be advancing towards the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, but would be directly attacking the Andles Kingdom instead.
Although the Andles Kingdom had an army of over ten million, the strength of its army was far from comparable to the Qin Empire, one of the eight great nations of the continent. Even this army of five hundred thousand would be difficult to stop.
Although many ants could bite an elephant to death, an elephant only needed to stomp a large group of ants to death. If one wanted to kill an elephant, who knew how many ants they would have to pay with their lives? This was especially so when they encountered a group of ferocious elephants. The price they would have to pay would be even more disastrous.
The gates of the Andles Kingdom's fortress were already wide open. Jianchen rode his magical beast at the very front, leading the army of a million into the Andles Kingdom's territory with the deafening sound of hooves. They then headed south, heading straight for the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom.
At this moment, within the palace of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, the king was sitting leisurely in the garden, playing chess with a white-haired old man with a ruddy complexion.
At this moment, a personal guard hurriedly ran over from afar. He knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, this is an urgent secret letter from a spy."
The king's gaze was fixed on the chessboard, not moving at all. He said, "Give it to me!"
The personal guard immediately handed the letter to the king. The king casually tore open the seal and took out a piece of white paper with words written on it.
A moment later, the king's expression changed drastically. The hand holding the letter trembled slightly. He muttered absentmindedly, "How is this possible? How is this possible?"
Noticing the king's expression, the ruddy old man also hesitated. He asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, what happened? Why are you losing your composure like this?"
The king's face was slightly pale. He said in a deep voice, "Bad news. The relationship between the Kingdom of Gesun and the Qin Empire is even closer than we thought. The Qin Empire has already sent out an army of five hundred thousand to join forces with the Kingdom of Gesun to form an army of a million. They are currently rushing towards our Heavenly Eagle Kingdom."
"What!?" The old man sitting across from the king turned pale with fright. He immediately shook his head and said, "Impossible, this is definitely impossible. The distance between the Qin Empire and the Kingdom of Gesun is over a million kilometers. It would take at least half a year for an army to get there. How could they arrive so quickly? Could it be that the Qin Empire already sent an army to the Kingdom of Gesun half a year ago?"
"I'd rather believe it than not. Although it's a little exaggerated, the Qin Empire is still one of the eight strongest countries on the continent. They are also the strongest of the eight, second only to the three empires. Who knows, they might have some special method that we don't know of to transport an army over. No, this is no small matter. It concerns the life and death of our Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. I'll go ask Senior George to personally investigate this matter and see if the Qin Empire is truly involved." The king of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom no longer had the mood to play chess. He hurriedly left.
Within the Antilles Kingdom, the combined army of the Kingdom of Gesun and the Qin Empire had already passed through the center of the Antilles Kingdom after two days of travel. They were not far from the border fortress of the Antilles Kingdom.
The army of a million was currently resting on a large plain. They formed a circle in groups of three to five and ate rations to fill their stomachs. They had occupied an area of several dozen kilometers. The Kingdom of Gesun had sent a hundred-man squad to a city twenty kilometers ahead to purchase rations. This was to provide for the daily needs of the five hundred thousand soldiers of the Kingdom of Gesun.
Every soldier of the Qin Empire's Eastern Divine Sword Legion was given a Space Belt. There was a large amount of rations and water stored within, enough to last them for half a year. The Kingdom of Gesun was not as wealthy as the Qin Empire. They could not afford a Space Belt for each of their five hundred thousand soldiers, so the rations they could bring with them were limited.
After resting for two hours, the army set off once more. Very soon, they left the Antilles Kingdom's borders and walked through a barren land.
At this moment, a gleam of light flashed through Jianchen's eyes. He raised his head slightly to look at the sky. All he saw was a vast expanse of whiteness. Thick layers of clouds had completely blocked out the sun. There was nothing but whiteness.
The dozen or so Heaven Saint Masters behind Jianchen seemed to have sensed something. They all raised their heads to look at the sky. Their calm eyes suddenly sharpened.
Jianchen sneered, "It's the people from the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. Looks like they've come to investigate our situation. Xiaotian, go invite them down."
"Yes, sir!" Xiaotian replied. He immediately rose into the air and shot into the sky like a bolt of lightning. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared into the vast expanse of white clouds.
"Boom!"
However, in the next moment, a heavy rumble rang out from the sky. Surging waves of energy wreaked havoc in the surroundings, dispersing a large portion of the thick clouds in the surroundings. Flames filled the sky, causing it to be dyed red.
After the clouds dispersed, the scene in the sky appeared before everyone's eyes. A red and a blue speck of light that was even smaller than an ant collided with each other in the sky. Every time they collided, there would be a heavy rumble.
After a few rounds, the blue speck of light fell from the sky. The red speck of light was hot on its heels. Very soon, the two specks of light gradually became clear. They were two figures.
As soon as the blue figure fell, he stabilized himself in mid-air and then suddenly accelerated, charging towards the million strong army below.
