Four months later, there was still one and a half months until Zhong Shan's promise to the Grand Xuan King was fulfilled.
The last city of the twelve cities, Grandpond City. Standing on a mountain peak far away from Grandpond City, Zhong Shan smiled indifferently.
"Commander, it's the final battle!" said Shui Wuhen excitedly.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the city gates will open immediately!" said Zhong Shan.
"The city gates will open?" asked Shui Wuhen doubtfully.
Narrowing his eyes, Zhong Shan stared at the city in the distance and said, "The meeting has begun. This city will be the easiest to open among the twelve cities."
"Eh?" Everyone looked at Zhong Shan in surprise, then at the tightly shut gates.
Nian Youyou didn't look at the gates, but at Zhong Shan. The twelve cities had been following him all this time. His speed in conquering the cities was too shocking.
More importantly, his method of subduing the surrendered soldiers was truly like turning his hand over to summon clouds and turning his hand over to summon rain. She had witnessed all of this in front of her eyes. Everything seemed so unreal, but it had truly happened.
Looking at Zhong Shan, Nian Youyou sighed slightly. Then, a strange light appeared in her eyes, as if she had thought of something very important.
"Raise the war drums!" ordered Zhong Shan.
Dong ~ ~ ~ ~
"Dong ~ ~ ~ Dong dong ~ ~ ~ Dong dong ~ ~ ~ Dong dong ~ ~ ~ ~"
Within Grandpond City. City Lord's Mansion.
"City Lord, what should we do? That Zhong Shan is really attacking. This, this speed is too fast," said a general worriedly.
"Four and a half months to break through eleven cities in succession. Four and a half months, and that includes controlling the soldiers of eleven cities. This, this Zhong Shan is so fast? Too fast, "said the Grandpond City Lord with a bewildered expression.
"City Lord, quickly make a decision. Once the Dragon Race draws the flood, our city will truly be hopeless," said the general worriedly.
"Reinforcements, where are the reinforcements?!" said the City Lord anxiously.
"King Julu's reinforcements … At the very least, we still have to wait for half a month. However, the city will be gone in half a month," the general said in fear.
"That's right. Half a month later, there will be nothing left. Zhong Shan brought five hundred thousand soldiers back then. Why is it that after subduing eleven cities, there are still five hundred thousand soldiers left?" the City Lord said with a depressed expression.
"Zhong Shan has subdued the generals of the Eleventh City. He left some of them in the Eleventh City. The rest followed him to attack the city," the general said angrily.
"Fate! Oh, God! "The City Lord looked up to the sky and cried out in grief and indignation.
"City Lord, what should we do now?"
"Dong ~ ~ ~"
"Dong ~ ~ ~ Dong dong ~ ~ ~ Dong dong ~ ~ ~ Dong dong ~ ~ ~ ~"
Suddenly, the sound of war drums could be heard from outside the city.
"City Lord! It's starting, it's starting! "The general said anxiously.
The city lord's expression turned serious. "The city cannot be saved, but I cannot let down the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty. Pass down the order. All soldiers are to prepare their luggage and follow me out of Great Pool City. At the very least, we must preserve a million soldiers for the king."
"City Lord, you are saying that we are going to escape?" the general said in shock.
"Defend? We cannot defend. When the time comes, it will be the same as the other cities. Half of the army will be subdued by Zhong Shan. It is better for me to bring all the troops and treasures to preserve a portion of the Great Yu Empire's strength." The city lord sighed.
"Yes!" The general sighed and quickly left to organize the troops.
Sitting in the main hall of the City Lord Manor, the city lord was at a loss.
The Twelve Waterfront Cities, the natural stronghold of the Twelve Cities, had such a huge flaw. It was fine if they did not want it. Once they reached the inner cities of the Divine Prefecture, they would see how the East Ocean Water was drawn.
The sound of war drums shook the clouds.
The generals waited patiently. No one was dissatisfied with their commander Zhong Shan. They were all filled with admiration.
At this moment, a scout flew over and reported, "Commander, the Great Pool City Lord is leading the army to retreat from the west gate."
"En!" Zhong Shan nodded.
"Commander, did we scare the Great Pool City Lord and his army away?" Zhao Chuan asked in disbelief.
The natural stronghold of the Great Yu Empire, with its army of a million, actually turned around and fled after seeing Zhong Shan's banner? This … this can't be, right?
Zhao Chuan was shocked, and so were the others. This … this was too inconceivable. They fled? They did not want this city anymore.
"Scout again!" Zhong Shan ordered the scout.
"Yes!" The scout immediately flew away.
"Zhong Shan, it seems that the Great Pool City Lord is really scared by your name!" Nian Youyou said with a smile.
Zhong Shan smiled but did not reply, as if he was waiting for something.
"Commander, now that the Great Pool City Lord is leading his army away, it is the best time for us to chase after them. I am willing to lead the troops to chase after them," Shui Wuhen immediately said respectfully.
"Chase after them? There is no need for that." Zhong Shan shook his head.
"But, this is such a good opportunity." Shui Wuhen was somewhat unwilling.
"Hehe, how many soldiers do you have?" Zhong Shan asked with a smile.
"Eh?" Shui Wuhen immediately shut his mouth.
That's right, how many soldiers do I have? Most of my direct subordinates are in the other eleven cities, and all of my subordinates are the surrendered soldiers of the Great Yu Empire. Should I lead 300,000 surrendered soldiers to chase after a million regular soldiers of the Great Yu Empire? Am I going to deliver food to them or what?
If the surrendered soldiers were to rebel, I might not even be able to make it back alive.
"Commander, the soldiers on the city gate tower have also begun to retreat." Liu Wushuang pointed at the soldiers on the city gate tower in the distance.
"Zhong Shan, did you already know this would happen?" Nian Youyou immediately looked at Zhong Shan and asked.
"Eh? What makes you think so? "Zhong Shan laughed.
"The West Poison Emperor still hasn't arrived. Then Hao Meili won't come either. If Hao Meili doesn't come, the dragons of the East Sea won't come either. Did you already know the outcome? "Nian Youyou stared at Zhong Shan.
"Hehe, Youyou is still the smart one. That's right. The Grandpool City Lord is indecisive and cowardly. He also put on the appearance of a loyal subject of the Great Yu Empire. After the pressure of me breaking through the eleven cities, he naturally packed up and fled. As for the West Poison Emperor not coming, you are wrong, "Zhong Shan said.
"Wrong?" Nian Youyou looked around with a look of disbelief.
"The West Poison Emperor and Hao Meili are already waiting for us at the Grandpool City Lord's Mansion," Zhong Shan said with absolute certainty.
"They went in?" Nian Youyou was surprised.
At this time, at the eastern city gate in the distance.
"Clang!"
The eastern city gate slowly opened.
A dozen people who looked like commoners opened the gate, walked out, and performed a military salute of the Daluo Heavenly Dynasty.
"This …? Did you arrange this? When? "Nian Youyou looked into the distance and asked in surprise.
"A year and a half ago," Zhong Shan said.
A year and a half ago? Did that mean that Zhong Shan had already planned this and had already sent his subordinates to secretly infiltrate the cities?
Nian Youyou looked at Zhong Shan in disbelief. The surrounding people who heard Zhong Shan's words were also shocked. So, the Twelve Waterfront Cities were already under the Marshal's control a year and a half ago. It was just that the Marshal didn't collect them before and used half a year to do so.
Zhao Chuan swallowed his saliva. The Grand Xuan King had told him to pay attention to Zhong Shan's every move. If he reported this to the Grand Xuan King, would the Grand Xuan King believe him?
"Enter the city!" Zhong Shan said with a wave of his hand.
"Roar!" The army roared in unison.
Together, they headed toward the last city, Grandpool City.
High spirited. The army was currently in high spirits.
Grandpool City had been taken down without spending a single soldier. They had taken it down by beating the war drums. What kind of great victory was this?!
Even after entering the city, the army still felt that it was unreal.
Under Shui Wuhen, Zhao Chuan, and Liu Wushuang's continuous management, they quickly took over the various strongholds of Grandpool City.
Then, they executed Zhong Shan's policy of consolidating the people.
Grandpool City was bustling.
Zhong Shan brought Nian Youyou, Ah Da, and Zhi Huo to the City Lord's Mansion.
On the floating island's plaza of the City Lord's Mansion, the West Poison Sovereign and Hao Meili were waiting.
"Zhong Shan, you're finally here," Hao Meili said indignantly.
"Brat, you're really good at leading troops to battle." The West Poison Sovereign shook his head and sighed.
"It's all thanks to senior and the beautiful Miss Hao Meili," Zhong Shan replied immediately.
"Where are the things?" Hao Meili immediately stretched out her hand.
With a wave of his hand, he took out the remaining six Immortal Steles from his storage bracelet and placed them on the plaza.
Looking at the six Immortal Steles, Hao Meili smiled and put them away.
"Hmph, at least you know your place," Hao Meili snorted.
"At the same time, I have something to give you!" Zhong Shan said with a solemn expression.
"Oh? You're so generous? "Hao Meili said in disbelief.
"I asked someone to find this at a great cost. I think it's more appropriate to give it to you. Although you haven't seen him, I'm sure you've seen the projection he left for you. You should know his appearance. It's him! "Zhong Shan said solemnly.
"Who?" Hao Meili frowned.
With a wave of his hand, an ice coffin appeared in front of Zhong Shan. Before anyone could take a closer look, Hao Meili's eyes widened and she put it away. She stared at Zhong Shan and took a few deep breaths.
"How did you get it?" Hao Meili said coldly.
"You can ask the horned dragon that carried him," Zhong Shan said.
"It was already cursed to death by me!" Hao Meili said directly.
"Sorry, I have my ways. I'll give it to you now as a reward for your help," Zhong Shan said.
"Old man, let's go!" Hao Meili immediately called out to the West Poison Sovereign. She was clearly in a very bad mood.
The West Poison Sovereign looked at Zhong Shan and waved his hand. A cloud carried him and Hao Meili away quickly.
"Zhong Shan, what was that just now?" Nian Youyou asked doubtfully.
"Something that belongs to Hao Meili," Zhong Shan said. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
