Zhong Shan was overseeing the Red Mist City.
Although Zhong Shan was just an outsider, with Zhong Shan's ability and the support of the old officials who controlled the court, Zhong Shan quickly made all the military arrangements.
The various troops were also deployed according to Zhong Shan's instructions.
Zhong Shan had been temporarily staying in the east gate tower to avoid suspicion of stealing the country. He didn't enter the palace at all.
In a large hall on the east gate tower, Zhong Shan sat at the commander's desk with a group of people from the Red Mist Dynasty standing in front of him.
"Emperor Zhong, you're really amazing. How did the troops you deployed just happen to face the Taisui Celestial Dynasty's flanks? Although there were victories and losses on both sides, we finally managed to slow them down. Our dynasty can finally counterattack! "a general said excitedly.
"That's right. This is the first time we've stopped the Taisui Celestial Dynasty. This has never happened before. With this victory, the morale of the army will definitely be more stable," Wei Gong, the old man who went to invite Zhong Shan, said.
"No, these are all small problems. The real war is about to begin!" Zhong Shan said solemnly.
"Oh?"
"The scouts reported that the Taisui Celestial Dynasty's main army is marching toward the Red Mist City. They'll arrive here in five days!" Zhong Shan said solemnly.
After Zhong Shan finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
"This … With Emperor Zhong overseeing it, there shouldn't be a problem, right?" Wei Gong said.
"That will depend on whether you're united or not!" Zhong Shan looked at everyone.
"United, of course we're united. How can we not be united when the country is about to fall?" Wei Gong immediately said.
"Mm, then replace the people at the four city gates with your most trusted subordinates, the people closest to you!" Zhong Shan said solemnly.
"Eh? The four city gates? "Wei Gong was surprised.
All of a sudden, a letter appeared in Zhong Shan's hand and he threw it forward. Eunuch Wei immediately caught the letter and read it quickly with a puzzled expression. As he read the message, Eunuch Wei's expression turned solemn and he became even angrier.
"Preposterous, preposterous! How dare you betray the enemy! "Wei Gong said angrily.
"Eunuch Wei, what's that letter?" Someone beside him asked.
Just as Eunuch Wei was about to say something, Zhong Shan immediately interrupted, "You guys go out and settle it. This is your internal matter!"
"Yes, thank you, Emperor Zhong. We'll leave right away!" Eunuch Wei immediately said respectfully, and then led everyone out of the hall quickly.
"Your Majesty, this …" Zhao Suxiang knitted his brows.
"Old Zhao, let the Iron Spear Battalion rest. There may be a tough battle in a few days. Don't be stingy with the Spirit Stones and Dans that I gave you before. When we reach the Daikon State, you can have as many of these things as you want!" Zhong Shan said.
Five days later, Crown Prince Chongtian arrived at the east of Red Mist City with an army of 1.5 million soldiers. He looked at the distant city with a faint aura of destiny.
"Report!" A scout quickly ran over.
"Speak!" Soaring Sky Crown Prince, who was riding on a gigantic Devil Nightmare, said in a deep voice.
"The seven flanking armies were all ambushed. Only two of the generals managed to escape and are now running towards the main army!" The scout reported.
"Bastard!" Soaring Sky Crown Prince angrily shouted.
The scout quietly retreated to the side.
Wang Chen, who was riding on a Devil Nightmare, came along with him.
"Wang Chen, you have a good adoptive father. In just a few days, he has already defeated eighteen of my flanking armies. His plan is flawless. Regardless of victory or defeat, he captured all of them?" Soaring Sky Crown Prince revealed a mocking expression.
"Seventh Crown Prince, please be careful with your words. Wang Chen will emphasize that I no longer have any relationship with Zhong Shan. If you link me to Zhong Shan again, don't blame me for falling out with you!" Wang Chen said in a deep voice.
"Hmph!" Soaring Sky Crown Prince angrily snorted.
From a distance, they could see the city gate tower.
Looking at the row of people standing on the city gate tower, Soaring Sky Crown Prince's eyes turned cold. When he saw Zhong Shan among them, his eyes lit up.
"Good. Since you keep saying that you no longer have any relationship with Zhong Shan, why don't you take it? Go and bring me Zhong Shan's head now! "Soaring Sky Crown Prince said coldly.
Wang Chen was silent for a moment.
"You don't dare? Hahahaha! "Soaring Sky Crown Prince suddenly laughed.
"Is this a military order?" Wang Chen said in a deep voice.
"Yes, it is a military order. Wang Chen, I order you to be the vanguard. Lead the army to take down Red Mist City and bring me Zhong Shan's head!" Soaring Sky Crown Prince ordered. He stared coldly at Wang Chen.
"Understood!" Wang Chen replied.
Wang Chen clamped his legs together and sat down on a Devil Nightmare. He stepped out of the army. At the same time, he waved his hand and about five thousand soldiers in bright red clothes followed him out.
This was Wang Chen's private army. Their purpose was to be the vanguard to take down Red Mist City and bring me Zhong Shan's head.
They had to face what they had to face. Wang Chen rode his horse forward. He slowly walked into the center of the battlefield. He looked like he was asking for battle.
In the distant city tower, Zhong Shan held the railing and looked at the army in the distance. Zhong Shan had received the news from the scouts a long time ago.
Soaring Sky Crown Prince? Wang Chen?
Zhong Shan saw Wang Chen from afar and recognized him at a glance.
Zhong Shijiu? The adopted son that he doted on the most? Unfilial son?
Zhong Shan's heart was heavy when he saw Wang Chen leading the vanguard into the center of the battlefield to ask for battle.
Father and son actually met in such a way. It was unique and filled with mixed feelings. Could it be that he had misjudged him?
Zhong Shan remained silent and did not say anything.
In the distance, Wang Chen led the army out and looked at Zhong Shan on the city tower. He stared at Zhong Shan without any emotion in his eyes.
Soaring Sky Crown Prince looked on coldly. He was already unhappy with Wang Chen. Not long ago, he suddenly found out that Wang Chen was Zhong Shan's adopted son. This made things much more interesting.
"Emperor Zhong, Emperor Zhong …" The ministers kept calling out to Zhong Shan.
Zhong Shan was stunned.
"Yes!" Zhong Shan came back to his senses after being called.
"What should we do now?" Eunuch Wei asked worriedly.
Zhong Shan didn't answer, instead, he took a deep breath and looked at Wang Chen in the distance. Zhong Shan's heart was filled with complex emotions. He thought that when he saw his unfilial son again, he would be impulsive and angry. But when he saw his unfilial son again, Zhong Shan's heart was filled with mixed feelings.
"Zhao Suxiang!" Zhong Shan called out immediately.
"Yes, Sir!" Zhao Suxiang replied.
"What do you think?" Zhong Shan asked in a deep voice.
"According to the information we've gathered these days, Wang Chen is very talented and his cultivation speed is very fast. He reached the Form Synthesis Stage not long ago. Form Synthesis Stage, I'm also in the Form Synthesis Stage. Your Majesty, please allow me to go to war and capture him alive!" Zhao Suxiang said confidently.
"Haha, capture him alive? It won't be that easy! "Zhong Shan shook his head.
"I won't let Your Majesty down!" Zhao Suxiang said stubbornly.
"No, it's not that I don't believe in your abilities. Even an Ultimate Emperor Stage cultivator might not be able to do anything to you. But I still have to remind you!" Zhong Shan said suddenly.
"Oh?" Zhao Suxiang was surprised.
The people around him were surprised. Zhao Suxiang was in the Form Synthesis Stage? He could deal with an Ultimate Emperor Stage cultivator? What kind of joke was this? How was this possible?
"Wang Chen's original name was Zhong Shijiu. He was my adopted son!" Zhong Shan suddenly said.
"Eh?" Zhao Suxiang was surprised.
"Eh!" The ministers around him were dumbfounded. Was this for real?
Zhong Shan's adopted son?
"Of course, he didn't recognize me as his adopted father nearly a hundred years ago!" Zhong Shan said bitterly.
"Unfilial and treacherous!" Zhao Suxiang said angrily.
"Haha, no matter what, I have to remind you that you can't underestimate Wang Chen's strength. I, Zhong Shan, have more than a hundred adopted sons. Wang Chen's talent is the best. Moreover, Wang Chen is very intelligent and very capable, just like me! "Zhong Shan said calmly.
Wang Chen's talent is the best? Wang Chen is very intelligent? Very capable?
These were enough to raise Wang Chen's status very high. In fact, Wang Chen was indeed so. In a short time, he had gained a firm foothold in the Sky-splitting Crown Prince's camp and had a high status. This ability could not be underestimated.
However, what Zhao Suxiang was most concerned about was Zhong Shan's words, "just like me!"
These three words were enough to overturn everything Zhong Shan had said before. The words "just like me" showed Wang Chen's strength.
Just like Zhong Shan? Wang Chen's ability was self-evident.
How strong was Zhong Shan? Wang Chen was like Zhong Shan?
"I know!" Zhao Suxiang took a deep breath and dared not underestimate him.
"You take the Iron Spear Battalion to meet him! Take care of yourself! "Zhong Shan said in a low voice.
"Yes!" Zhao Suxiang nodded.
Then, Zhao Suxiang left the crowd and went downstairs to organize the troops.
Zhong Shan, on the other hand, looked at Wang Chen from a distance.
Zhong Shan looked dignified. No one knew if it was because of the relationship between the two, or because of the gains and losses on the battlefield, or something else.
"Beat the drums and show the might of the army!" Crown Prince Chongtian laughed in the distance.
The drummer at the side quickly beat the war drums.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The drums shook the sky, and a boundless murderous aura shot toward the distant Red Mist City. Some of the cowardly officials in the Red Mist City trembled.
"Under the orders of the Deputy Commander, take down the Red Mist City and take Zhong Shan's head!" Wang Chen shouted.
"Roar!"
The army behind Wang Chen roared in unison. Together with the war drums, the army was filled with the aura of war.
Zhong Shan turned his head and looked at some of the officials whose legs had gone soft. His expression tensed up as he said, "Since ancient times, evil has never triumphed over good. As long as we uphold the righteous spirit and defend the city, how can we not win? Beat the drums and meet the enemy!"
"Yes!" Those fearful officials immediately put away the fear in their hearts and looked into the distance with impassioned expressions.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the drums sounded, the city gates opened. Zhao Suxiang, wearing white robes and holding a silver spear, led the Iron Spear Battalion out to meet the enemy.
