"What is it?" A group of demon generals asked in surprise.
QianFeng opened the space bag, and suddenly, items were displayed in front of him. They were armors and battle robes. There were a total of ten custom-made white robes made by Imperial Forest. The purple flower rust on them was very fine. They were all carefully made by the palace servants in Ze Tian Palace. In addition, there was a golden collar robe, which was exactly the same as what Lin Muyu had worn before. It was a king's cloak.
"This … What does this mean?" Lan He asked.
QianFeng looked at the robes and said, "It's probably … probably a hint from Her Highness Lin Muyu, but I don't quite understand what it means?"
Lan He said, "Isn't there another letter?"
"Oh."
QianFeng hurriedly opened the letter. There were lines of calligraphy on it, and it was written by Lin Muyu. Although his calligraphy was not a master, the vigor and strength revealed by his ten years of military career was enough to explain everything. The handwriting was clear, and the lines of words were reflected in the eyes of QianFeng and a group of demon generals — —
How can it be said that there is no clothing? Together with my son. The king sends troops to repair my spear. Together with my son!
How can it be said that there is no clothing? Together with my son. The king sends troops to repair my spear and halberd. Together with my son!
How can it be said that there is no clothing? Together with my son. The king sends troops to repair my armor and soldiers. Together with my son!
… …
This was a poem from the Pre-Qin Dynasty's "Wind of Qin", "Without Clothes". Lin Muyu used this poem to describe the current situation. The invasion of the Tian Ji Bandits was like a calamity that swept across the vast land that the Qin Empire and the Demon Race relied on for survival. The poem was impassioned and filled with the same hatred for the common enemy!
The Devil Race generals were dumbfounded, each and every one of them recalling the crushing defeat in the northern snowy plains. The Devil Race Emperor Feng Yuan and the two Princesses had died together, and even ended up with their heads separated from their bodies. This was a disgrace to the Devil Race, and also a disgrace to the entire God Race.
Lan He's eyes were red, and tears came out of his eyes. He said in a trembling voice, "Lin Muyu … Does he really think of us as comrades?"
QianFeng clenched his fists and murmured, "These robes and armors represent Her Highness Lin Muyu's heart. Do we need more proof? Come, all Captaincy level generals, put on the clothes of the empire. We are fighting for the god race and also for the Qin Empire. Since our king has passed, let them welcome our new king. She is Qin Yin, the true master of this Shattered Cauldron Realm! "
"Yes!"
The group of generals put on the white robes and armors of the imperial forest one after another. As for QianFeng, he put on the rusted golden robe that had been prepared for him. He mounted the horse and pulled out the sword from his waist. After that, he growled at the crowd, "Retreat! Retreat to the second pass! Send the remaining 5,000 Armor Demons to hide in the jungle on the left side of the second pass. Listen to my command. Once they arrive, 100 Wing Men will launch magic crystal attacks from the air to attract the attention of the dragon knights. At the same time, the Armor Demon Legion will charge out and crush the Tiger Leopard Cavalry that they are so proud of. I want the Tianji Empire to know the power of the god race!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
The sounds of battle rose into the sky. Under Qian Feng's command, a battle of race and glory was being carried out in an orderly manner.
The fierce battle lasted until late at night. Both sides suffered losses and withdrew their troops.
…
In the starry night, the ten miles of land outside the Sky Gorge was the camp of the Liuji Army. In the central tent, a group of dancers from the Tianji Empire were dancing gracefully, while Beiming Huan was drinking with a group of generals. Although he had stepped into the God Realm, as an Emperor God, Beiming Huan had never given up the pleasures of the human world, and it was precisely because of this state of mind that he continued to serve as the Marshal of the empire.
"Report!"
A messenger flew into the tent and reported respectfully, "Reporting to Marshal, the army that attacked the Heaven's Gorge has returned."
"What's the result?"
Beiming Huan held a beautiful concubine in his arms and slowly moved his hands on her snow-white legs. He asked without looking up.
"Both sides suffered losses. The former general reported that they killed more than 40,000 of QianFeng's men in the Sky Gorge."
"What about us?"
"More than 11,000 were killed, and 20,000 were wounded."
"A bunch of trash!" Beiming Huan suddenly threw the wine cup on the ground and said angrily, "A mere Sky Gorge, and they still couldn't take it down after three days, and even lost tens of thousands of my men. What a bunch of trash. Is QianFeng even more powerful than Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing?"
The messenger was so scared that he was trembling, and did not dare to say anything else.
On the side, Gong Shangming said respectfully, "Marshal, please calm down. We need to think about this further."
"Think about what further?" Beiming Huan was already angry. "Back then, we got the news that the demons under QianFeng were beaten back by Lin Muyu and Wei Chou. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been almost wiped out by us in the Frozen Polar Ground. An inferior demon that was almost wiped out actually managed to hold out for so long. What is this?"
Gong Shangming's eyes were calm as he said, "Marshal, you may not know this, but in fact, QianFeng is not a simple person. As far as I know, eight years ago, when the demons were at their peak, the Armor Demon army led by QianFeng defeated Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing, and almost forced the Qin Army to surrender. If not for Lin Muyu's efforts to turn the tide, I'm afraid our only opponent now would be the demons. QianFeng's strategy is not below Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing's, and his reputation among the demons is like the sun in the sky. With him personally guarding the Tongtian Gorge, his defensive ability naturally cannot be underestimated."
Beiming Huan was shaking with anger. "Mr. Gong, it's easy for you to say. Did you know that His Majesty sent me a letter yesterday, ordering me to wipe out Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing as soon as possible, and take down all the eight provinces that the Qin Army has occupied. But now, North Ridge Province, Seven Seas Province, Cangnan Province, Tian Shu Province, Earth Star Province, and Ling Dong Province are all still in their hands. I've only occupied Cloud Province and Sky Reaching Province, and that's not all. Just the dragon knights alone have died in battle, and if we can't take them down after a long time, how can I explain to His Majesty when I get back?!"
Gong Shangming held the fan in his hand, looking at Beiming Huan quietly.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Beiming Huan was a little uncomfortable.
Gong Shangming smiled. "That will depend on how the Marshal plans on accomplishing this feat."
"Why do you say that?"
"You also know that our army is just an expeditionary force that has traveled thousands of miles to come here, and our logistical supplies are far inferior to the other side. The reason why we can stand in Sky Reaching Province now is that we have plundered their food reserves and forcibly taken from the people. But now, as you can see, the food reserves of the thirteen prefectures in Sky Reaching Province have almost been used up by us, and the original residents are also loyal to the Qin Family, not to the Tianji Empire. The forced expropriation has led to a huge loss of population. If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid that Sky Reaching Province will soon become a province without people. Commander, conquering the Broken Cauldron World and the Qin Army is far more difficult than we thought. We have to calm down first, and then we can make our opponents panic. "
Gong Shangming's words were like pearls of wisdom. Beiming Huan frowned and said, "Alright, then what do you want to teach us, Mr. Gong? What do you think we should do now?"
"It's very simple. Farm and rest. The whole East Sea is under our control, and we can send endless supplies from the Tianji Empire. In the long run, in a year at most, the supplies in the Sky Reaching Gorge will be used up, and QianFeng's troops can only wait for death. In addition, we can contact the Blackstone Empire, and attack the Bronze Helmet Mountain Range controlled by Lin Muyu from the south, cutting off the source of iron and food for Winter Frost City. Then, we won't have to worry about Lin Muyu not being defeated. Once Lin Muyu is defeated, the Lingdong Province will be under our control. In this way, we can open up all the provinces in the east, and join forces with the Blackstone Empire, and slowly push forward. How many heads does Lin Muyu have for us to chop off?"
Gong Shangming smiled and continued, "But all of this needs time, at least a year, at most a decade. It all depends on whether you have the patience to wait for the victory to come."
"Yes! Yes! "
Beiming Huan also smiled, "Sir, your words are very enlightening. Thank you for your teachings. Come, let me toast to you!"
"You are too polite, General."
Gong Shangming narrowed his eyes, and suddenly said, "General, someone sent us a message tonight. Dragon Knight Xu Xiao and Dragon Knight Wang Hu were killed when they were patrolling the steel wall. It was most likely Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi. In my opinion, we need to punish them. I suggest you write a letter to his majesty, asking him to send an edict to Sikong Ming, ordering the Tianji Martial School to send a group of powerful warriors to the Shattered Tripod World. If possible, if Sikong Ming can come in person, then the result will be set!"
Beiming Huan nodded, "Alright, I will do it tomorrow!"
…
At this time, in the Devil Palm Mountains thousands of miles away, it was all quiet. The meeting hall was brightly lit, and a group of people were sitting there, but they were not drinking and playing like usual.
On the captain's throne, Liu Buyi was wearing a soft armor, with the Bai Ze emblem on his chest. That was the emblem of the Bai Ze Mercenary Band. Right now, Liu Buyi was no longer the same as before. His eyes were calm and composed, and an unprecedented confidence appeared on him. Beside him sat the beautiful Si Kongyao, wearing a delicate soft armor with the same emblem on her chest.
"Say it again." Liu Buyi said lightly.
A mercenary with a protruding mouth and monkey cheeks said, "Captain, the latest news is that the Cloud Province of the Shattered Cauldron Realm has fallen. The Northern Duke, Luo Xin, has died in battle. He was killed by a Battle Angel called Dora. In addition, including the Clear Sky Province, the Eight Desolations Province, and the High Sky Province, the Qin Army of the Shattered Cauldron Realm has already successively been occupied by four great provinces!"
"How could this be … His Highness shouldn't be so weak!" Liu Buyi was a little distraught.
"Big Brother won't be defeated so easily."
Si Kongyao's bright eyes shone with a cold light as she said, "It's just that the disparity is too great. Bu Yi, let's start attacking the surrounding counties tomorrow. The Bai Ze Mercenary Band already has a hundred thousand people. We have the ability to attack the counties. In any case, most of the troops of the Blackstone Empire have gone to the Shattered Cauldron Realm. The ones left behind will be guarding the imperial capital and the borders with the Celestial Empire. "
"Yes." Liu Buyi nodded and said, "Young Miss, is there any news from the Celestial Empire? His Highness said that he had a secret agreement with the Second Prince of the Celestial Empire, Chen Yu. Now that the Shattered Cauldron Realm is in danger, Chen Yu shouldn't just sit by and watch. "
Si Kongyao nodded and said, "Yes, Chen Yu has stationed a million soldiers at the border, and he's forced the Tianji Empire to send the majority of the two great armies, the Lanji Corps and the Yanji Corps, over there. Even Big Sister Shang Qian's maternal grandfather, Old General Zhang Cheng, has gone to the border as well. Chen Yu must be waiting, waiting for the news of Big Brother's defeat to arrive, and then he'll launch an attack. I just don't know if he'll attack the Tianji Empire first or the Darkstone Empire first."
"Then … when are we going to cause trouble?"
"Cause trouble?"
"That's right. If they don't cause trouble, why would they start fighting? Beiming Yuan and Chen Yu are both calm people. They won't use their weapons. As long as we are willing to cause trouble, there's no need to worry that they won't start fighting. "
However, Si Kongyao pouted and said, "I won't do this."
"Why?" Liu Buyi didn't understand.
"No matter what, I'm a citizen of the Tianji Empire. I can lead troops to attack the cities of the Blackstone Empire, but I can never make a move against the army of the Tianji Empire." Si Kongyao was unhappy and said, "The only thing I'm worried about is that His Majesty Beiming Yuan will order Grandfather to go to the Shattered Cauldron Realm. If Grandfather makes a move, Big Brother will …"
"Don't worry." Liu Buyi smiled faintly and said, "Old Master Sikong Ming is one of the top God Emperors. He has eyes and ears everywhere. Do you think he doesn't know that you have such a good relationship with His Highness? I think that the old master definitely won't personally kill the person that his granddaughter likes. After all, he doesn't want you to hate him for the rest of your life. "
"I … I didn't …" Si Kongyao's face was completely red.
Liu Buyi glanced at her and said, "You don't even know how to lie. Learn more from me in the future! However, since Big Miss isn't willing to cause trouble, then let me do it. However, I need to use the people that you've roped in from the Tianji Sect. Otherwise, ordinary Bai Ze Mercenaries won't be able to complete that kind of mission. "
"Mm, that's up to you. You're the leader, so you can deploy them yourself. Tomorrow, we'll attack the cities first. I want to cause chaos in the Blackstone Empire from within and then collapse them! We'll do our best to help Big Brother reduce the pressure on the Shattered Cauldron Realm! "
"Alright, that's exactly what I'm thinking!"
