Empire Calendar, Year 7742, on the Zilu Plain of the Southern Barbarian Land, the sound of horse hooves resounded through the nine heavens. The overwhelming army of the Yihe Empire began to meet the enemy, and the enemy was the army of the Blackstone Empire that came from the sea. Banners fluttered in the wind, and Lu Yan also began to arrange his troops. Both sides were like two colorful clouds that would soon collide.
"Roar roar roar …"
In the sky, the roars of dragons were incessant. The Blackstone Empire had dispatched sixty thousand troops, of which ten thousand were beast cavalrymen, mainly tiger leopard cavalrymen. In addition, there were twenty dragon cavalrymen supporting them.
Qin Yi stood on the war chariot as he looked from afar at the appearance of the enemy army in the distance, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It wasn't luck that the Darkstone Empire's army was able to defeat famous generals like Ding Xi and Long Qianlin, and they could indeed be called an elite army. However, an elite army like this with a force of 200,000 was still defeated at the hands of Lin Muyu and Qin Yin. It was extremely difficult to imagine exactly what sort of freaks these two foster nephews and nieces of mine were to even be able to defeat an army like this?
The enemy was too strong.
Qin Yi couldn't help but waver. Was the plan of his people really worth it? So many people had died, but in the end, the gap between him and the enemy was getting wider and wider!
"Commander?"
A general holding a saber turned to look at Qin Yi, seeking his opinion.
Qin Yi gently nodded and said, "Let's fight."
"Yes!"
He raised his saber high and shouted, "Let's fight!"
The war drums thundered, and the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Yihe Empire launched an attack, charging straight at the enemy's phalanx. At the same time, the army of the Blackstone Empire also launched an attack. Countless dragon cavalrymen and tiger leopard cavalrymen roared as they charged.
The ground was in chaos. Both sides stood together, and it was impossible to distinguish between them. The only thing that could be seen was the dragon cavalrymen continuously spewing flames in the air, as well as the roars of the tiger leopard cavalrymen. Tiger leopard cavalrymen were a type of predator level existence, and warhorses were originally the prey of tigers and leopards. How could they withstand the intimidation? One by one, the Yihe Empire cavalry no longer dashed forward, and in the blink of an eye, their heads were chopped off by the tiger leopard cavalrymen. Their severed necks sprayed hot blood, and one life after another disappeared in this southern wasteland.
…
This battle continued from dawn until dusk, and in the end, both sides withdrew their troops hastily. The Darkstone Empire's army still maintained a practically perfect formation as they withdrew from the battlefield of Zilu Plains, but the front, middle, left, and right armies of the Yihe Empire had suffered severe losses. The ground was covered in corpses, and most of them were the soldiers of the Yihe Empire.
Night fell, and dew continuously dripped from the branches. Qin Yi looked at King cavalrymen, and he of King That the Empire. Of King Qin Dynasty. Plain.

"Help me back," Qin Yi said weakly.

Fifty kilometers to the west of Zilu Plain, the Yihe Nation's crude tents stretched for nearly ten kilometers, and Qin Yi's tent was in the center. Qin Yi heaved a sigh of relief after entering the tent. The oppressive feeling of death had almost suffocated him. It had been too long since he had experienced such a battle, so much so that Qin Yi felt that the scene during the day was like a nightmare.
Before long, the Yihe Empire Returned. Of course, there were some who didn't return, but at least Qin Huan returned. Qin Yi couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
After a long time, the tent was full of Yihe Empire Returned.
Qin Yi sat there quietly. The meat and vegetables in the golden cauldron on the table had already cooled, but he didn't even move his chopsticks. At this moment, he didn't have any appetite.
"They're all back?" Qin Yi asked.
"Yes, Commander. They're all back." A general cupped his fists and said, "Except for those who couldn't."
"What about the corpses? Are they done counting? "
"They're done." A general with a full beard said, "Commander, do you want to hear it?"
"Speak."
"The clerk who collected the corpses reported that our army lost more than thirty thousand men, and thirty thousand are missing. According to the accounts of the soldiers who left, we killed more than twenty thousand enemy soldiers, and killed nearly ten Dragon Riders." His voice trembled slightly.
"Is that so?" Qin Yi raised his head, his eyes slightly red, and said, "I don't want to listen to your clichés. I want to hear the real numbers. How many corpses were there in total?!"
"Reporting to Commander, the corpse collection team reported … they received a total of sixty-three thousand five hundred corpses from our army …"
"What about them?"
"The Blackstone Empire left behind five thousand two hundred and forty corpses. The other ten thousand corpses should have been taken away by them."
"Bullshit!" Qin Yi slammed the table and stood up, roaring angrily, "Do you all think I'm blind? I saw it clearly. The Blackstone Empire didn't take away a single corpse. They … they only used five thousand people to exchange for nearly half of our army! Nearly half! Even if you're all scarecrows, how could you let them kill so many people in a day?! Soldiers are trained for a thousand days to be used in a single day. Is this how you repay the Yihe Empire? Don't you all usually claim to be veterans of hundreds of battles, possessing both courage and wisdom? What happened now? In front of the Blackstone Empire's army, you're like three-year-old children, unable to withstand a single blow! Unable to withstand a single blow!! "
As he spoke, Qin Yi's body suddenly trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Commander!"
"Imperial Father!"
Qin Huan and the others hurriedly stepped forward to support Qin Yi. He seemed to be in a state of panic.
"This general is incompetent!"
All the generals uniformly knelt on the ground, but this was how war was. In the face of such a great disparity in strength, they could only accept their fate.
After a long while, Qin Yi finally caught his breath and slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was somewhat blurry as he said, "I … I really miss my Commander Long and Commander Ding … why … why does the heavens treat me like this?"
Qin Huan: "…"
All the generals were speechless. True famous generals were naturally talented and unconventional. Every one of them wanted to become a famous general of their generation, but the majority of them could only become stepping stones for famous generals.
…
The next morning.
Qin Yi slowly woke up, but he heard hurried footsteps outside the tent. That person was pacing back and forth.
"Who's outside?"
"Reporting to Commander, it's General Zhao Da."
"Let him in."
"Yes!"
Zhao Da opened the tent flap and entered. His expression was somewhat ugly as he said, "Commander, the Blackstone Empire has sent an envoy. He says he wants to discuss matters with you."
"Oh?" Qin Yi said, "What kind of person did they send?"
"A Dragon Rider General named Fu Yun."
"Why does this name sound so familiar?"
"His elder brother is Fu Yu of the Blue Flame Army, the person who killed Commander Long!"
"Preposterous!"
"Commander, please calm down. Do you want to see this person or not?"
"Bring him to the central tent. I'll be right there."
"Yes!"
In the central tent, Fu Yun had already handed his sword to a general of the nominal Nation of Peace, but his entire person was still dignified and imposing, standing in the center of the tent like a mountain. This kind of aura was not something an ordinary person could have. Only someone with absolute confidence and strength could exude such an aura.
When Qin Yi, Qin Huan, and the others entered the tent, Fu Yun cupped his hands and smiled. "Blackstone Empire's envoy, Fu Yun, pays his respects to Your Highness, Commander!"
Qin Yi slowly sat down and raised his hand. "Dispense with the formalities. Come, have a seat."
"No need."
Fu Yun said, "The Blackstone Empire's soldiers are used to standing. Many thanks for Commander's kind intentions."
"May I know why Lord Fu Yun has come this time?" Qin Yi asked.
"Naturally, it's for the good of both our armies." Fu Yun smiled and said, "Our Blackstone Empire and Yihe Nation have a common enemy, and that is Qin Yin and Lin Muyu. So why should we fight to the death here? My goal this time is to form an alliance with Yihe Nation. In addition, I'll also form an alliance with the Eighteen Tribes here. "
Qin Huan couldn't help but say angrily, "Yesterday was a battle to the death, and today you want to form an alliance? Fu Yun, aren't you going too far? We still haven't settled the matter of you killing my Yihe Nation's Commander Long! "
Fu Yun raised his brows. "You must be Young Master Qin Huan? As expected, heroes come from the young. But you're not young anymore. You've suffered so many losses at the hands of famous generals like Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing, but you still haven't learned your lesson. Why haven't you learned how to speak human language? "
"You!" Qin Huan was furious and was about to draw his sword.
Fu Yun smiled faintly. "Do you want to fight? Don't think that I'm afraid of you just because I came alone. It's not that I look down on Yihe Nation, but none of you can keep me here. If you don't believe me, you can try. But the result will be your destruction. In less than two days, my Blackstone Empire's army will bathe this place in blood! "
The veins on Qin Yi's forehead throbbed. "Lord Fu Yun, since you're here as an envoy, there's no need to be so angry. Let's talk about the details of our cooperation!"
"Haha, Commander is a wise man."
Fu Yun said, "It's very simple. We'll establish an alliance and choose a day to set out on the northern expedition. The Yihe Nation will attack the Bright Mountain Province, while our army will attack the Lingkong Province. This will catch the Qin Army off guard. In addition, Commander is the landlord of this place. I want to recruit soldiers here. I'll only leave after I get at least a hundred thousand soldiers. As for armor and weapons, Commander will need to provide them for my new army."
"What did you say?" General Zhao Da's face was full of anger. "You want us to provide the equipment for a hundred thousand soldiers? You're clearly trying to rip us off. Fu Yun, what do you mean by that?"
Fu Yun smiled faintly. "Why do your words sound so unpleasant? This is assistance between allies. It can't be considered ripping us off, right? Commander, everything depends on your discretion. "
Qin Yi's face paled. He knew that Fu Yun was the kind of person who would do what he said. How could he not lower his head when under low eaves? Being extorted for a hundred thousand sets of equipment was much better than being completely wiped out.
"A hundred thousand sets, so be it!"
Qin Yi muttered. "I hope that Lord Fu Yun will restrain your army when you return. You must not offend my Yihe Nation's army. Otherwise … this alliance will cease to exist."
"Yes, I'll definitely do as you say!"
Fu Yun respectfully clasped his hands and said, "I wonder when the new soldiers and equipment will be ready? I'll send someone to collect them."
"These need to be prepared slowly."
"No, it can't be slow. You must select twenty thousand new soldiers and twenty thousand sets of equipment every day. I'll send someone to collect them. Commander, you must do this. "Fu Yun raised his eyebrows and smiled." This is the condition of our alliance. It's not negotiable. "
Qin Yi's eyelids twitched. "I understand. Lord, please return."
"Thank you, Commander!"
… …
When Fu Yun walked out of the tent, everyone was in an uproar.
"Bandits! They're practically bandits! "
"Despicable people from the Blackstone Empire! Why don't they just die!"
"Commander, you absolutely cannot agree to this!"
"The dignity of the Yihe Nation is about to be gone!"
Qin Yi swayed as he walked out of the tent. Suddenly, he fainted.
