Over a dozen Heaven Saint Masters stood in front of the army. Their tremendous presence surged forward like a tidal wave, forming an extremely great deterrent. The blue figure that was originally charging toward the army came to a sudden halt.
Xiao Tian, whose body was exuding the power of fire elements, had already caught up from behind and engaged in a fierce battle with that figure once again. Every time the two of them exchanged blows, a powerful energy shockwave would erupt, shaking the heavens and the earth.
After a dozen or so short exchanges, the blue figure was injured by Xiao Tian. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell from the sky once more. In the end, he heavily crashed into the empty ground a hundred meters in front of the army, creating a huge crater.
Xiao Tian shot through the sky like a fire-red meteor. In the end, he hovered ten meters above the ground. His eyes were sharp as he stared at the figure below emotionlessly. He did not continue to attack.
A series of coughs rang out from the man's mouth. The expert that had been struck down by Xiao Tian climbed up from the ground with some difficulty. His gaze toward Xiao Tian was filled with some fear.
The dozen or so powerhouses hovering in the air also descended one after another, sitting back down on their magical beast mounts. Jianchen controlled his mount to slowly advance. In the end, he stopped ten meters away from the expert. He looked at him with a smile, "Sir George, I never thought that we would meet again so soon. Looks like we really are fated."
George stared at Jianchen sternly. His face was filled with fear. What had happened in the imperial palace of the Kingdom of Gesun was still fresh in his mind. His Saint Weapon had been effortlessly destroyed by this young man.
"The fourth young master of the Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Shōten," George said with a heavy voice. His face was extremely ugly.
Jianchen chuckled, "Correct, that's me. I never thought that sir George would recognize me."
George looked at Xiao Tian behind him and the Heaven Saint Masters who had returned to their mounts. He said with a heavy voice, "Changyang Shōten, I've come this time to see the representative of the Qin Empire. Please move aside!"
"Sir George, do you think you have the right to do that?" Jianchen faintly smiled as he looked down at George from his mount.
George's expression changed slightly. He said, "Of course I don't have the right, but it's not up to you to decide. What right do you have to stop me?"
Jianchen looked at George with a mocking expression. He smiled, "If sir George refuses to accept this, why don't we fight again? Let's see if I have the right to do that."
George's face paled when he heard Jianchen's words. His chest heaved up and down. Clearly, he was quite angry. This was the first time he had been looked down upon by someone of the younger generation. Even though he was furious, he did not dare to show it. He had already witnessed Jianchen's strength in the imperial palace of the Kingdom of Gesun. He was definitely not Jianchen's opponent. If he acted rashly, he would only be asking to be humiliated.
George directly ignored Jianchen and looked at the army behind Jianchen. He clasped his hands and said, "I am George, and I represent the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. I hope to speak with the representative of the Qin Empire."
No one replied to George. The ten Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire, Qin Wuming and his sons, and the third prince, Qin Ji, did not speak. This was because the representative of the Qin Empire that George spoke of was right in front of him. It was just that he did not know about it.
Princess You Yue finally could not hold back her laughter when she saw this ridiculing scene. Her bright eyes were already curved into crescents as she stared at Jianchen's imposing figure in a daze.
Jianchen also chuckled, "Sir George, you should go back and inform the king of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. Tell him to prepare himself and see just how powerful the most elite soldiers of the Qin Empire are."
"The most elite soldiers of the Qin Empire!" George's heart sank. He looked at the majestic army in front of him in disbelief. He never thought that the Qin Empire would not only send out an army, but also the most elite one.
George stood there with a gloomy expression. In the end, he turned around and left without a word. His heart was extremely heavy.
"Let's continue on our way!"
The army continued to advance. They quickly marched through the endless plains for an entire day. By noon of the second day, they had arrived at the second kingdom they had to pass through — the Persian Kingdom.
The Persian Kingdom, like the Antilles Kingdom, had long since received news that the Qin Empire's army was going to pass through. The king had led a group of nobles and officials to wait at the border fortress for a long time. Moreover, the welcoming ceremony was much grander than the one held by the Antilles Kingdom. The tall walls of the fortress were decorated with lanterns and colored banners. Below, there were thousands of people beating gongs and drums. They formed a three-kilometer-long welcoming line along the main road.
The million-strong army of the Kingdom of Gesun and the Qin Empire slowly slowed down. In the face of the warm welcome from the Persian Kingdom, Jianchen only smiled and left the negotiation to the king of the Kingdom of Gesun. It was most appropriate for him to appear in such a situation.
The attitude of the king of the Kingdom of Gesun toward the Persian Kingdom was much warmer, unlike the cold attitude of the Antilles Kingdom.
The negotiation between the two kings was very simple. It was nothing more than a few pleasantries. During the conversation, the king of the Persian Kingdom stated that he wanted to form an alliance with the Kingdom of Gesun. His attitude was very sincere. However, the king of the Kingdom of Gesun smoothly rejected the offer. Now that the Kingdom of Gesun had climbed up the big tree that was the Qin Empire, their status could be said to have soared. Their future was just around the corner. Normally, the king of the Kingdom of Gesun did not pay much attention to them.
After the negotiation between the two sides, the king of the Kingdom of Gesun once again set out with the army. They passed through the borders of the Persian Kingdom and headed straight for the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom.
In the palace of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, the injured George had already returned. He was currently recounting what he had seen to the king.
"Your Majesty, the news can't be wrong. That really is the army of the Qin Empire. Moreover, it's the most elite army of the Qin Empire. There are even a dozen Heaven Saint Masters accompanying them. The situation is very bad," George said with a solemn expression. His brows were tightly knitted together.
"Sigh!" The king of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom sighed. "It's all because I was too impulsive back then. Minister Che's information was wrong. Not only is the relationship between the Kingdom of Gesun and the Qin Empire completely different from what Minister Che said, their relationship is extremely close. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent their most elite soldiers to assist the Kingdom of Gesun."
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? Should we surrender to them or fight to the death? If we fight to the death, we don't have enough Heaven Saint Masters. We won't be able to stop the enemy's experts at all. Moreover, the Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire are all very powerful. Last time, they were able to utterly defeat ten of our experts with just six of them. Almost none of them made it back. This time, there's Changyang Shōten in the army. Although he's still young, the mysterious energy in his hands is definitely the bane of all Heaven Saint Masters. Last time, in the palace of the Kingdom of Gesun, he defeated me in less than five moves." George's face was filled with worry. As soon as he mentioned Changyang Shōten, a deep fear appeared in his eyes. The strength and terror of the sword spirits had already instilled fear in this Heaven Saint Master.
The king gently shook his head and rubbed his temples. He said weakly, "Surrendering is definitely not a solution. The Qin Empire's army came from so far away. If surrendering could make them retreat, they wouldn't need to bring their army over. They could just send a few of their most powerful Imperial Advisors. Why go through so much trouble? It looks like the Kingdom of Gesun wants to destroy our Heavenly Eagle Kingdom this time."
"We can't stop them, and surrendering isn't a solution either. What should we do?" George sighed.
"Senior George En, go and inform the experts in the kingdom. Tell them what happened and have them all rush to the stronghold. I will think of a way to make the Qinhuang Kingdom retreat." The King lay on the dragon throne tiredly with his eyes closed.
George hesitated for a moment before nodding in the end, "Alright, I'll go inform them right now."
After George left, His Majesty slowly opened his tightly shut eyes again. He looked at the resplendent hall and muttered, "I didn't expect that a wrong decision back then would cause me to lose this empire. The empire that my ancestors had painstakingly built with so much effort has to be given to someone else."
The king closed his eyes in pain. After a long while, he said, "Men!"
"Your Majesty!" A personal guard quickly ran up to him.
"Go and inform senior Long Chen that I agree to their request. They need to help our Heavenly Eagle Kingdom overcome this crisis." After saying that, the king seemed to have lost all his strength. He was paralyzed on his throne.
In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. By now, the news of the Gesun Kingdom and Qinhuang Kingdom's alliance preparing to attack the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom was known by many. This news had spread far and wide within a hundred thousand li radius, becoming a hot topic of discussion. Discussions about the Gesun Kingdom and Heavenly Eagle Kingdom could be heard everywhere in the surrounding kingdoms.
During this period of time, the atmosphere in the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom had become extremely tense. Although the Gesun Kingdom and Qinhuang Kingdom only had a million soldiers, which was nothing in front of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom's army of over ten million, everyone knew that the Qinhuang Kingdom's army was much stronger than the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom's. Even if the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom only had five hundred thousand soldiers, they would still be able to deal a heavy blow to the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. If the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom dared to destroy the Qinhuang Kingdom's army of five hundred thousand, then the Qinhuang Kingdom's next army might be a million soldiers, or even more.
In the face of the Qin Empire's army, the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom clearly had no intention of surrendering. They had been mobilizing their troops for the past few days, gathering their elite troops from the other three directions to the fortress that the Kingdom of Gesun and the Qin Empire's army was about to reach. After a few days of preparation, the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom had already gathered six million soldiers at the northern fortress. Almost half of the kingdom's strength was placed here. In addition, all the experts of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom were present.
At the northern fortress of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, a dozen experts and a few armored generals stood there with serious expressions. They stared ahead with bright eyes, as if waiting for something to arrive.
