"Victory! Victory! "
There was laughter in Xiping Prefecture. Feng Jixing held the letter in his hand, his face almost blooming with joy. He said loudly, "This is great! This is really great! Let these bastards from the Demon Realm continue to be arrogant. Now that Yu has stepped into the Mahayana Heavenly Dao, who can stop his Holy Martial Power!? "
QianFeng, Ding Xi, and the others laughed.
Outside, Xiang Yu walked in wearing the Marshal's cloak and said blankly, "What's wrong, General Feng?"
Feng Jixing raised the letter and said with a smile, "There's a letter from the eastern battlefield!"
"Oh? What news!? "
"In short, Yu is invincible!"
Xiang Yu: "…"
QianFeng said with a smile, "Duke of the East, Lin General has ascended to the Mahayana Heavenly Dao and obtained the Holy Martial Power. He defeated Zhou Binlong's 350,000 troops in the Cold Smoke Wasteland and captured nearly 170,000 people. Now his troops are probably at Scorching Han City. Having lost the Terminus Earth Army, Scorching Han City cannot stop Lin General. Once Scorching Han City falls, the 14 provinces of the Celestial Empire will no longer dare to fight against the Qin Empire. The 14 provinces will naturally be ours!"
"So … the battle on the eastern battlefield is about to end? That's great! "
Xiang Yu was ecstatic. His hair had already turned white. After fighting for so many years, he was also old. He no longer had the lofty aspirations of the past, but he hoped to live some peaceful and stable days.
Feng Jixing said, "Lin General and Her Highness Yin have ordered me to defend Xiping City to the death. As long as we restrain Chen Yu's Terminus Heaven Army in Xiping City, Lin General will soon lead the army from Scorching Han City, pass through the Forest of No Return, and directly attack the Terminus Heaven Army. At that time … no matter how omnipotent Chen Yu is, I'm afraid he will not be able to defeat Lin General's army."
"It is indeed a joyous occasion!"
Xiang Yu laughed and said, "General Feng, I can almost imagine us returning to Lanyan City, receiving our rewards and returning to our fiefs to live a carefree life like Xiaoyao, hahaha …"
Feng Jixing could not help but laugh. "That's right, that's right. However … we should be even more cautious at this moment. Pass down the order, all the armies are to be on guard against any sneak attacks from the enemy. No one can be careless."
"Yes!"
…
On the 28th day of the sixth month, a light drizzle was falling from the sky. The hooves of the horses stepped on the grass that was gradually sprouting, making pitter-patter sounds. The thirty thousand light cavalry took the lead and were already less than ten miles away from Scorching Han City.
Lin Muyu took the lead with Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi by her side. Wei Chou, Si Kongyao, and the experts of the Dragon League followed behind. They were determined to win this battle.
"Commander Zhou."
"Your subordinate is here. Lin General, please give your orders!" Zhou Binlong's face was full of respect. He had already changed into the commander's armor of the Qin Empire. He represented 170,000 surrendered soldiers and his status was not to be underestimated, at least in the current situation.
"Do you think the current General of Scorching Han City, Zhang Xing, will stop us?"
"Your subordinate has already written a letter to Zhang Xing, ordering him to give up the city … but he did not reply. Your subordinate does not know what happened in Scorching Han City, so naturally, I have no confidence."
Lin Muyu laughed. "I hope Zhang Xing will not resist stubbornly. Otherwise … enough people have died."
"Yes, General is merciful."
At this moment, the messy sound of horse hooves came from the front. It was a group of cavalry holding the flag of the Celestial Empire. There were about a hundred of them, and they stopped far away. One of them walked over and said respectfully, "General Zhang Xing welcomes Lin General into the city!"
Si Kongyao laughed. "A wise man submits to circumstances. General Zhang Xing is a smart man!"
Zhang Xing's face was a little ugly. He looked up at Zhou Binlong and did not say anything.
In the evening, Lin General led 5,000 light cavalry into the city, and the rest were stationed outside. At this point, Scorching Han City, the capital of the Celestial Empire, had fallen. One day later, Situ Sen led the Longdan Army Camp, Bai Ze Mercenaries, and the main force of the prisoner camp to Scorching Han City.
In the middle of the night, Lin Muyu ordered the dissolution of the 120,000 people in the prisoner camp and ordered them to return to their homes to farm, leaving only 50,000 troops to be reorganized into the Longdan Army Camp and Bai Ze Mercenaries.
The war in the Celestial Pole Continent was about to end, so there was no longer a need for so many troops. With more troops, there would naturally be more turmoil. Letting the people live and work in peace and contentment was the best policy for a ruler.
…
On the third of July, Lin Muyu led 250,000 troops to attack the Huoyuan Province.
In the middle of the night on the second day, the army passed through the mountain range. After passing the Forest of No Return, they would reach the border of the Huoyuan Province.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The mountain range was very quiet, and only the sound of the marching army, the sound of horses' hooves, and the scraping of armor could be heard. Lin Muyu rode Treading Snow and walked among the crowd. He tried his best to calm down. He had gradually felt that after becoming a Titled Martial God, he needed to calm down to eliminate the killing intent in his heart. Otherwise, he would easily fall into a state of killing, and perhaps fall into the demonic path soon.
Between good and evil, he became even more cautious after seeing through the Mahayana Heavenly Way.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd in front. Someone shouted, "Ambush, there's an ambush!"
"What's wrong!?"
Lin Muyu stepped into the air and unsheathed his longsword. He shouted in a low voice, "What's going on?"
A group of demonic spirits flew down from the mountain range and fought with the soldiers of the Longdan Army Camp. They were the people of the Monster Thearch, Nü Shi.
Lin Muyu raised his hand and activated his Sacred Martial Power. The soldiers of the Longdan Army Camp on the ground had their battle prowess increased by several times, and it was not a problem for them to fight against the demonic spirits. At the same time, Lin Muyu looked at the pitch-black mountain range with his clear eyes and shouted, "Nü Shi, don't you want to come out and see me?!"
A graceful figure appeared on the mountain range. It was the Monster Thearch, Nü Shi. She was dressed in a white robe and was still hugging her pipa. She looked exactly the same as when they first met.
"I'm here to congratulate King Qin for becoming a Titled Martial God," Nü Shi said calmly.
Lin Muyu frowned and flew up the mountain. She stood in front of Nü Shi and said, "Why can't you get over this hurdle in your heart? Why can't you turn back? "
"I've gone too far. I can no longer turn back." Nü Shi's eyes were bright.
"Do you still want to kill my people and force yourself to go deeper?" Lin Muyu said softly, "The Mahayana Heavenly Law has already started to rise. I can sense that there will be more and more Mahayana Heavenly Law Gods appearing in the future. Since ancient times, evil has never prevailed over good. The Demon World is destined to fail. Do you really not want to turn back? As long as you're willing, I'll protect your life. "
Nü Shi was startled. She looked at him deeply and said, "How are you going to protect me?"
"I want you to cultivate by my side. I'll cleanse your evil aura and redeem your past mistakes. As long as you're by my side, no one will be able to harm you. I'll protect you even if I have to sacrifice my life."
"Cultivate by your side?" Nü Shi could not help but laugh, "King Qin, stop joking. I'm a Demon God. You're a Mahayana Heavenly Law Martial God. Do you really want a Demon God by your side?"
"Why not?" Lin Muyu said proudly, "I'm the one who let down the Demon Spirit Race. Our redemption is one. Only by keeping you by my side can I atone for my past mistakes."
"What if I don't agree?" Nü Shi asked with a smile.
"Then I can only use force."
Lin Muyu grabbed Nü Shi's hand. He did not use much force, but Nü Shi was unable to break free. Blood-colored lightning appeared around her. Her righteous aura caused Nü Shi's body to tremble. She suddenly burst into tears and hugged Lin Muyu tightly. Her body trembled as she cried, "I'm already impure. Is King Qin not afraid of being dirty by keeping me by your side?"
"It's okay. I've seen many whores. Compared to them, you're not only not dirty, you're simply pure. At least you fell for revenge and not for other dirty things. This is my mistake. I'll redeem myself with you and forget about the past. If you feel that your body is tainted, I'll think of a way to change your body, as long as you're willing."
"I … I …" Nü Shi cried bitterly. She was speechless.
Lin Muyu held her hand and flew down from the mountain. Si Kongyao smiled from afar and said, "Congratulations brother, you've hooked up with another girl …"
"It's nothing!"
Lin Muyu hurriedly explained, "I'm just … keeping Nü Shi by my side. It's me, the Qin Empire, who did her wrong."
Qin Yin giggled, "I understand. You don't have to explain, idiot."
Tang Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Then do you still want to march?"
"Yes, continue."
"Okay!"
…
After daybreak, the army marched out of the Forest of No Return. They set up camp on the flat ground outside the forest. After a short rest, they were ready to attack Huoyuan City.
At the same time, Huoyuan City was filled with anxiety and unease. The news of Zhou Binlong, the commander of the Earthly Terminus Army, leading an army of three hundred and fifty thousand men, suffering a crushing defeat in the Frost Smoke Wastelands had already spread throughout the army. Everyone knew that Lin Muyu had become a Titled Martial God and was unstoppable. His army had already entered the Huoyuan Province.
In the depths of the mansion in Huoyuan City, Emperor Chen Yu had become truly isolated. A group of generals were silent, and some even suggested surrendering.
An old official with white hair said, "Your Majesty, Lin Muyu's two hundred and fifty thousand elite soldiers should have already crossed the Forest of No Return and will reach Huoyuan City in a few days. In the west, Feng Jixing's five hundred thousand soldiers are still there. They have a total of seven hundred and fifty thousand soldiers, while we only have two hundred thousand soldiers. This war … it's impossible to win."
Chen Yu squinted his eyes and said, "Marquis Anle, what do you mean?"
"Why don't you … surrender? I heard that Qin Yin and Lin Muyu are both kind people. Even a traitor like Zhou Binlong was rewarded. If Your Majesty surrenders, I'm sure you'll at least be given the title of Duke."
"No!"
Wei Qiyang suddenly raised his hand and said, "Qin Kingdom's General Xu Jiantao is Lin Muyu's favorite general. Lin Muyu has already placed the blame for his death on Bugu Mountain on Your Majesty. Now that Song Liangcheng's head has been sent here, if Marquis Anle suggests surrendering, won't you be sending Your Majesty to the guillotine?"
"I have no such intentions. Your Majesty, please consider this clearly!"
Marquis Anle hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
"You may rise, Old Marquis." Chen Yu said lightly, "There's no need for further discussion. Write a letter to Yangshang immediately and tell him that I'm willing to surrender and request for Yangshang to send troops from the north to attack Lin Muyu's troops. This is the only way to protect the two kingdoms."
"Yes!"
