"Attack!"
Two million vanguard soldiers charged out in full force.
Once they did, they would launch an all-out assault! Ye Zichen didn't want to waste even a second with Huo Xie.
He had to conquer the empire as quickly as possible.
The vanguard soldiers brandished their weapons and charged towards the city gates.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed … "Your Excellency."
Seuss walked up to Ye Zichen, his expression dark and unsightly.
"We can't break through, can we?"
During this time, Ye Zichen kept an eye on the situation.
Huo Xie was determined to defend the city and not leave.
The city's walls were harder to break through than they'd imagined. The city guards stood atop the walls, refusing to come out to fight.
Just like that, they held their ground.
In the end, this wasn't a solution. Ye Zichen could tell that Huo Xie was waiting for something.
But even now …. Ye Zichen still hadn't figured out what he was waiting for.
Reinforcements?
He'd already purged the outer cities. The only one still stubbornly resisting was the capital city of the empire.
If they wanted to fight a war of attrition …
Ye Zichen couldn't tell that they wanted to fight a war of attrition.
"That's right."
Seuss frowned and let out a long sigh.
"They won't leave the city at all, and our people can't get in either. I've already ordered them to surround the entire city.
But that won't be much of an improvement. "
"What do you want to do?"
"I want to personally lead a million soldiers on a spaceship and fly over the city walls. We'll fight them inside."
Seuss gazed at the towering city walls.
The way he saw it …. This was the best solution.
If he let his soldiers attack the city on their own, the city guards would be prepared, and they'd inevitably suffer casualties.
What they wanted in this battle was a complete victory.
Every soldier's life was a precious asset to the Upheaval Alliance.
As the commander, Seuss absolutely wouldn't let his soldiers make meaningless sacrifices.
They rode on a stealthy spaceship.
The guards on the city walls did not know about the existence of the spaceship, and they did not have any means of detection. Such a sudden attack was the best way to ensure that the people inside the city would not be harmed, and it could also catch the guards inside the city unprepared.
"Alright!"
After a brief moment of hesitation.
Ye Zichen nodded at Seuss's request.
"I'll arrange it right away."
"Wait."
Ye Zichen let out a deep breath. "I'll go with you."
"City Lord!"
Seuss couldn't help but ask with widened eyes.
"Just leave this to us. You can just wait for our triumphant return. Why do you still want to go to such a dangerous place?"
"There's an old saying where we come from, 'Lead by example'."
Ye Zichen smiled at Xius, then stood up from the rock and stretched lazily.
"As the City Lord, I should be at the forefront!"
"Moreover, I must personally deal with Huo Xie."
The grudge between Ye Zichen and Huo Xie had been there for far too long.
It was time to settle this grudge! "Then this subordinate will send 50,000 people to follow you."
Hugh spoke.
"No need!"
Ye Zichen laughed. "None of you are as strong as I am. You sent fifty thousand people to follow me, not to protect me, but to increase my burden.
Do what you have to do. Remember, if possible, try not to kill those whose hearts have been devoured by the flame imprint.
Of course, if our people are in danger, don't be soft-hearted. "
Ye Zichen didn't want to kill them.
That was because Ye Zichen knew that they were Huo Xie's puppets. They might not want war to happen in the first place.
They were pitiful people.
However, if Ye Zichen had to choose between their lives and his subordinates' lives, then there was no reason for him to not care about his subordinates.
"This subordinate understands!"
Seuss nodded heavily.
"I will do my best to deal with Huo Xie and reduce your pressure."
"Yes, City Lord!"
Hearing that, Seuss immediately went to make arrangements. Gradually, people started to retreat from the surroundings of the capital in an orderly manner.
"Sire!"
At the capital of the empire.
An old man with the appearance of a treacherous official scrambled into the kingdom's bedchamber.
The king of the Empire was still urging his father to act.
Huo Xie sat in the room without saying anything.
"Your Majesty, great news!"
The old man shouted. "The people attacking the city outside have retreated. Our people have been holding the fort. They can't attack from the outside, so they seem to have retreated."
"Really!"
The king was overjoyed.
He looked towards Huo Xie, who was resting on the throne with his eyes closed.
"Grand Imperial Advisor, look … They've all retreated. Do I still need to urge my father?
This planet is a fief that my father gave me. I didn't manage it well, so I kept urging my father to come. This also affected my image in my father's heart … "the king's voice suddenly became softer and softer.
In the end, there was no sound at all.
Because he saw Huo Xie's gaze, which was emotionlessly glancing at him.
"Did you not hear me clearly?"
"I told you to get your father here!"
"But … Those traitors have already retreated from our city," the king frowned.
The king frowned. "If the Empire is not in danger and my father is here, he will definitely punish us."
"Are you going against my arrangements?"
Huo Xie asked.
"Of course not, Grand Imperial Advisor," the king sighed.
"It's just that I think …" "I don't need you to think, I want me to think!"
Huo Xie squinted his eyes at the old man in front of him. "You said they retreated?"
"Y-Yes …" "Oh!"
All of a sudden, a ball of fire ignited in Huo Xie's hand, which he chucked onto the old man.
The old man screamed miserably as he was burned by the flames.
The king trembled as he stood nearby and watched his loyal servant get burned alive by Huo Xie's flames.
"Alright."
"No one said that they retreated now. Your Majesty, please treat it as if they didn't retreat."
Huo Xie looked at the king with a smile.
The king subconsciously gulped.
"Yes, Grand Imperial Advisor!"
What Huo Xie didn't know was that Ye Zichen definitely wouldn't retreat so easily.
The grudge between the two of them … would definitely not end until one of them was dead! Retreat.
I don't know what they're up to. If I don't go find the old king now, then what are they going to use to defend when Ye Zichen attacks?
At that moment, Huo Xie placed all of his assets on the old king.
He's back.
It's naturally a happy ending.
If he doesn't come back … No … He will definitely come back! At that very moment … Before Huo Xie could close his eyes …
"Not good!"
"The enemy has entered the city!"
