The Great Zhou Country. Mirror Sea.
On the city wall, the Lord of the Mirror Sea City, Li Kangnian, gazed into the distance and said in a cold voice, "When I was stationed in the Sharp Peak Ridge, I had a lot of dealings with the Peacock Kingdom. Even their Ghost Dancer Corps, which was boasted to be an invincible army, I have experienced it before. They did not gain the slightest advantage in my hands — —"
The corners of his mouth twitched, a look of contempt on his square face as he said disdainfully, "Ying Boyan is getting more and more arrogant. It's fine if he boasted about his daughter in the Peacock Kingdom, no one would dare to expose him anyway. But he dares to appoint her as the commander of an army, does he really think it is easy to lead an army to war? Today, I'd like to see what's so special about Princess Qiandu, who has been rumored to be a god. I am looking forward to how she will lead the army to take my Mirror Sea City — — "
"City Lord, you must not be careless. That Ying Qiandu has been invincible since the beginning of the expedition. Up until today, he has already taken seven cities …" The strategist Liu Wu Xu reminded, "Although Ying Boyan is arrogant and conceited, he is extremely cautious when it comes to using troops. If his daughter does not have any real ability, how would he dare to let her come out and take risks? "
"Strive for merit and establish a will!" Li Kangnian had a wise look on his face as he said with a smile, "Ying Boyan has no son, only a daughter, Ying Qiandu. Therefore, the entire divine continent knows that the girl will be the Empress of the Peacock Imperial Court — — A girl as the Empress is a taboo. Even the pressure inside the Peacock Imperial Court will not be small. "
"It's naturally too late for him to have a son now. If he wants to smoothly push his daughter to the position of Supreme, he naturally needs to dress her up well … Be magnanimous, dignified, kind, and wise. If she can achieve outstanding military service in this war of nine nations, I'm afraid that those obstacles will be easily solved."
"Do you think those victories were commanded by that girl? Do you think those cities were taken by her? Look at the people around her — — Mu Qiang, Zhang Kai, Zhu Rong and the others are all good generals, especially Mu Qiang, whose talent is far above everyone else. He is more than qualified to be the commander. With so many talented generals assisting her, how could she lose? "
"City Lord is right. That Ying Qiandu has an undeserved reputation."
"How could a delicate princess have the ability to lead an army to war? I'm afraid he'll faint at the sight of blood. "
"Since she wants our Mirror Sea City, we'll leave this little princess behind … and offer her to the crown prince. He'll definitely be very happy. Didn't the late Emperor go to Ying Boyan to propose marriage? It's just that Ying Boyan didn't know how to appreciate favors and tactfully refused the late Emperor's good intentions … "

Liu Wuxu didn't have a good impression of these people who tried to flatter him. It was just that City Lord Xu Kangnian was determined that Ying Qiandu wasn't a match for him. This was the biggest taboo of the battlefield … underestimating the enemy.
"City Lord, it is always good to take more precautions. As General Wang Chi said, if we can capture the little princess of the Peacock Imperial Court and present her to His Highness the Crown Prince, it will be a great merit."
Xu Kangnian nodded and pointed at the only path leading to Mirror Sea City. He said, "My Mirror Sea City is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there's only one path that leads to Mirror Sea City. Place more iron thorns and traps outside the city gate. We only need to close the door and defend. If there's an enemy attack, we'll use fire arrows. Don't tell me they can descend from the sky? "
After a pause, he remembered that the one who came this time was the little princess of the Peacock Imperial Court, a member of the imperial family. The important figures of the Peacock imperial family had the help of the Peacock army, and the Princess Royal had three thousand Peacock army around her.
"Even if they descend from the sky, we will never let them gain any advantage. I have asked Lord Mo Ju to set up three restrictions for Mirror Sea City. It will not be easy for the Peacock army to break through Lord Mo Ju's restrictions. "
"What's more, there are many experts in the Mirror Sea City — — all for today's battle. The Peacock Imperial Court dares to attack our seven countries at the same time, do they really think we are eating rice? This time, let's teach them a painful lesson. "
Xu Liangnian's eyes were fierce, but his face was bursting with confidence. "I want them to return this time."
"City Lord — —" The general beside him exclaimed.
"What's the panic?" Xu Kangnian said with a displeased expression. He had just made such a strong declaration, shouldn't the generals around him say something along the lines of 'City Lord is mighty', 'just so', and so on? Why did they move on to the next topic without any hesitation?
"City Lord, look — — above — —"
Xu Kangnian also noticed the abnormality above his head. He looked up, following the direction of the general's finger. In the sky above the Mirror Sea City, there was a huge white figure flying over.
Thunder and lightning, black clouds roiling.
"That's — —" Xu Kangnian's pupils widened, his face filled with astonishment.
"Dragon!" Someone replied.
Before the voice faded, the huge white dragon had already opened its mouth in the sky, and a ball of fire with a strong corrosive aura descended from the sky, like a falling sun.
Boom — —
The city walls of the Mirror Sea City were torn apart, and the Mirror Sea City was plunged into a sea of fire.

Inside the big tent, the intelligence officer was urgently reporting the military situation of the various armies.
"On the seventh day, her highness broke through the Mirror Sea City. On the fourteenth day, her highness broke through Qian Jiang, Chen Zhou … … After resting for three days, her highness broke through Le Zhou, Tong Zhou … … Now, her highness is arranging the army at the Yellow River Crossing. As long as we cross the Yellow River and break through Jin Zhou, we can go straight to the Great Zhou Country's imperial city … … "
Peacock King Ying Boyan waved his hand to signal the people to leave, then turned to look at Imperial Tutor Ying Wuyu and said, "Second Uncle, this girl … … is ahead of us."
"What? Is it uncomfortable to be surpassed by your own daughter? "Ying Wuyu said with a loud laugh.
"The student surpasses the master, why would I, as a father, be jealous of my own daughter? It's just that, I feel that there's something fishy … … "
Ying Wuyu nodded and said, "There is indeed something fishy."
"After that brat Li Muyang went to Qiandu's side, he only said 'I'm here for everything', what does that mean? With him, we can sit back and relax? What exactly happened to Qiandu, but he didn't say a word … … Tell me, what happened to Qiandu? Also, that brat Li Muyang … … is he trustworthy? "
