After the morning court, Qin Wudao, along with Jia Xu and Lv Bu, returned to the East Palace to discuss their battle plan.
In truth, the strategy for war had already been deliberated at court, yet it required further refinent. Tactics had to be adjusted in response to changing field conditions and battlefield situations.
Moreover, this war surpassed any previous conflict in its sheer scale and the number of troops deployed. It demanded ticulous planning, as any oversight was unacceptable. This posed a massive challenge to everyone involved.
Wars had to be paid for with human lives!
A single oversight could result in colossal losses of soldiers.
"Your Highness, we could do this..."
In the main hall of the East Palace, a map hung, detailing the topography, towns, and fortifications of the nine great realms.
Jia Xu stood by the map, feather fan in hand. The ruthless stratagems he described were so chilling that anyone from other factions present would undoubtedly have been struck with horror.
Qin Wudao and Lv Bu listened attentively, occasionally nodding in agreent.
As Jia Xu finished speaking, several towering pillars of blood suddenly erupted outside the Imperial Capital, shooting into the sky. Their dreadful killing intent caused the temperature within a radius of dozens of miles to plumt, transforming the area into what seed like a lifeless land of death.
The horrific might and lingering murderous aura perated the sky, shattering the clouds!
"One Saint Realm aura, eighteen Semi-Saint Realm auras, and tens of thousands of Fasang Realm and above auras!"
Lv Bu, the strongest among them, could sense the auras outside the city even from a hundred li away, and he spoke with a tone of admiration. What he admired wasn’t the strength of the martial artists outside the city, but the iron-blooded aura they exuded.
A person who can exude such an aura is undoubtedly a top-tier commander! An army that can exude such an aura must be an invincible legion, conquering all before it, undefeatable in battle, and unstoppable in attack!
"Did Zhao Yun and his n erge from the Martial Practice Field? Wonderful! With this, this king will have more confidence in unifying the nine great realms within a short ti!" Qin Wudao stood up, speaking excitedly.
Wasn’t he keenly aware of the Qin Empire’s shortcomings?
Although rumored to be an army ten million strong, the number of legions capable of spanning the realms for battles was limited. In terms of combat strength, they were no match for the Lin Family or the Changeable Mansion.
However, now things were different!
With Zhao Yun’s ergence, the Qin Empire had two top-tier warriors!
Yan Yun’s Eighteen Riders could also compensate for the deficiency in core strength.
The 50,000-strong Qin cavalry would beco a sharp dagger, ruthlessly piercing the enemy’s chest.
"Congratulations, Your Highness!"
"Congratulations, Your Highness!"
Jia Xu and Lv Bu promptly congratulated him.
"Let’s go and take a look at the camp!" Qin Wudao said, unable to contain his excitent. Using a movent technique, he sped towards the outskirts of the city.
「Fifteen minutes later」
The three arrived at the military camp. He saw the Qin cavalry arrayed in neat, orderly ranks. Enveloped in a blood-red aura, they exuded a dense, murderous intent, resembling a legion from hell.
Zhao Yun stood at the forefront, a shining silver spear in his hand, dressed in white armor, and emanating a fearso aura.
Standing behind him were Yan Yun’s Eighteen Riders, motionless as statues, yet their explosive aura was not to be underestimated.
"We pay our respects to Your Highness!" Zhao Yun respectfully greeted Qin Wudao loudly upon seeing him fly over.
His resonant voice spread in all directions, creating echoes that lingered for a long ti before dissipating.
"Please rise!" Qin Wudao landed, extending his hand to help Zhao Yun up. A smile of satisfaction appeared on his face as he looked at the transford army.
As expected of the Martial Practice Field! To cause such drastic improvents in their strength in just two months!
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Everyone stood up, their eyes sharp and focused.
"Your Highness, who is this person?" Zhao Yun asked upon standing up, his eyes filled with a strong battle intent as he scrutinized Lv Bu. From Lv Bu, he sensed power no less than his own, along with a sense of familiarity.
It feels like a friend I’ve yet to et!
"Zi Long, let introduce you. This is Lv Bu, from your hotown!" Qin Wudao said mysteriously.
"Lv Bu!"
Zhao Yun was stunned. He recalled that distant era when, before he himself had beco famous, there was already a brilliant star of a general who had overwheld all the heroes of the Nine Provinces.
No wonder it felt familiar! We’re from the sa era!
As Zhao Yun scrutinized Lv Bu, Lv Bu was also evaluating Zhao Yun. Their eyes t across the distance, sparks seeming to fly, causing the Void itself to tremble, as if it might shatter at any mont.
"Get to know each other and prepare for the upcoming battles!" Qin Wudao instructed solemnly, seeing the battle intent in both their eyes and choosing not to dissuade them.
"Battles?"
The ntion of battles instantly energized both n, making them incredibly excited. Zhao Yun, who wasn’t privy to the specifics earlier, asked with particular urgency about the reason.
Qin Wudao explained once again and solicited Zhao Yun’s opinions.
After the discussion, Qin Wudao decided to split the troops into two forces. The first, led by Lv Bu, would head north to attack the Skyfire Realm, Changeable Realm, and other such domains. The second, led by Zhao Yun, would attack the Purple Lightning Domain, Forest Realm, and other such domains.
Yan Yun’s Eighteen Riders would act as a mobile unit to deal with unforeseen dangers.
「Two days later」
The massive machine that was the Qin Empire slowly began to turn. Armies were mobilized and dispatched to the borders, filling the air with a grim atmosphere of impending war.
「anwhile, at the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect!」
After several days of hard work, Sect Leader Hua Nianshen, mobilizing all the disciples of the sect, finally managed to lay out the ’Great Formation of Ten Thousand Immortals’—given by the Impermanence Saint—according to the formation diagram. A potent, bloody aura shrouded the mountain peak.
"Ancestor, sothing feels off!" Hua Yourong said, standing atop a mountain and looking at the vast pool at the center of the formation, her brow furrowed in unease.
"Nonsense! How can there be a problem with a formation bestowed by the Saint?" Hua Nianshen’s eyes flashed as she rebuked her irritably. She had now beco completely loyal to the Impermanence Saint and trusted his every word without question.
Hearing this, Hua Yourong sighed inwardly. She knew that no matter what she said, Hua Nianshen wouldn’t listen. She chose to remain silent, inwardly praying that her suspicions were unfounded.
BOOM!
At this mont, a trendous pressure descended from the heavens. The Impermanence Saint stood in the Void and announced loudly, "Disciples of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect, activate the formation!"
"We obey the Saint’s command!" Hua Nianshen saluted. Her figure then flickered, and she appeared at the formation’s eye, her face full of anticipation. How powerful is the ’Great Formation of Ten Thousand Immortals’? Could it even contend with a Saint?
"Activate!" Saint Yu Wuchang spread his hands, and countless blood-red formation patterns manifested, intertwining and radiating a terrifying power that enveloped everything, obscuring the Azure sky.
"Hahaha, such powerful energy!" Hua Nianshen was ecstatic as she sensed the terrifying power. It felt as if she were experiencing the power of a Saint, where her every action could destroy heaven and earth. But in the next instant, her expression froze.
Because... she felt the terrifying power inside her surging towards the pool in the center of the formation!
