"Congratulations."
Li Fei spoke softly, genuinely happy for the other party.
The senior commanders in the army mostly cultivated the Military Dao.
Zuo Jun, who could command a ten-thousand-level Imperial Camp Army, had elevated his Military Dao to the level of a 'Commander,' truly reaching a pinnacle.
Now that he led the White Fla Army with Li Fei to completely conquer the Grassland Royal City, achieving a key military victory for the Da Lan Dynasty's annexation of the grasslands, his Military Dao cultivation naturally benefited greatly!
Among all the Dao Establishnt Grandmasters of the Da Lan Dynasty, Zuo Jun's personal cultivation was not among the top, and his chances of breaking through to Ascension to Saint were not great.
But today's battle imdiately allowed him to refine his current realm, reaching the level of perfection in the Dao Establishnt Realm and found the opportunity for a breakthrough!
As he said, as long as he breaks the remaining two major cities in the grasslands and kills Qilian Guanshi to achieve the rit of national annihilation, he will have the opportunity to leverage the montum of the national downfall for a breakthrough to beco a Martial Saint!
Among all the Dao Establishnt Grandmasters of the Da Lan Dynasty, he quickly went from being one of the bottom few to becoming the most likely to reach the peak, naturally worthy of excitent.
Zuo Jun turned to look at Li Fei and earnestly saluted him:
"This victory is thanks to Marquis Jing'an! My fortune today is also due in large part to Marquis Jing'an!"
Li Fei smiled and returned the salute: "Just doing my duty, no need for thanks."
The two talked and laughed, and after a mont, a team approached.
Two units of the White Fla Army followed behind these people, escorting them.
Li Fei and Zuo Jun turned to look.
Most of the arriving people had cultivation and not low at that.
Moreover, these people all exuded nobility, clearly the top-tier nobility of the grasslands.
The leading figure was dressed in a magnificent platinum robe, wore a crown, and had a very youthful face—none other than the Khan of the grasslands who had just ascended the throne not long ago, Suhe Renhe.
Suhe Renhe and a group of grassland nobility quickly arrived at the ruins beneath the Divine Mountain.
Seeing the desolation all around, everyone revealed a look of sorrow.
Suhe Renhe quickly collected his heart and spirit, adjusted his expression, and stepped forward.
He was a Tao Foundation Stage Martial Artist, capable of effortlessly ascending the ruins of a mountain that was impassable to ordinary people.
Suhe Renhe arrived ten steps before Li Fei and Zuo Jun and bowed:
"Suhe Renhe, a humble king, greets Marquis Jing'an and Left General."
He spoke in the Central Plains dialect, and it was very fluent.
Behind Suhe Renhe, a group of grassland nobles also bowed down.
Zuo Jun glanced at Li Fei and took a step back, leaving the power to decide their fate to Li Fei.
Li Fei looked at the grassland king bowing before him.
Even if considering all the nations from both eastern and western continents, the Grassland Royal Court ranked third in power after the Da Lan Dynasty and the West Pole Country!
In terms of territory size, population, and strong armies, the Grassland Royal Court far exceeded the West Pole Country, which only had a provincial land, making it the undisputed second in strength!
Such a powerful king, referring to himself as a 'humble king' and bowing before him.
To say that there was no ripple in his heart would be impossible.
Li Fei savored this rare emotion and did not rush to speak.
As he remained silent, Suhe Renhe had no choice but to continue bowing.
The other grassland nobles likewise maintained this posture.
The atmosphere imdiately grew tense.
Beads of sweat appeared on Suhe Renhe's forehead as he suppressed his inner fear and continued speaking:
"I have heard that after Marquis Jing'an and Left General breached six major cities of my grasslands, not a single person was slaughtered wantonly. I, on behalf of the millions of people of the grasslands, thank both of you for your kindness!"
Standing behind Li Fei, Zuo Jun let out a cold laugh.
This young Khan is indeed clever, trying to block them with words right from the start.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that, if Li Fei hadn't intervened, those six cities of the grasslands would have long been massacred empty!
Seeing that Li Fei still did not speak, Suhe Renhe continued:
"The Grassland Royal Court and the Da Lan Dynasty have been allied for generations, always sharing a brotherly bond for over a century, and neither my father nor I ever intended to wage war against the Da Lan Dynasty.
It was Qilian Guanshi, with his insatiable ambition, who first murdered my father and then bloodily purged Mingdu City, killing all who opposed him before launching a war against the Da Lan Dynasty!
Now that Qilian Guanshi has been defeated by Marquis Jing'an and Left General, seriously injured and on the run, I must thank the Heavenly Dynasty for sending heavenly troops to rescue us from fire and water, finally freeing us from Qilian Guanshi's tyranny!
I swear by my status as the Khan of the grasslands that henceforth, the Grassland Royal Court wishes to restore its good relations with the Da Lan Dynasty and forever honor the Da Lan Dynasty as the superior nation, offering tribute annually!
If I break this oath, may the Suhe Family's bloodline cease to exist!"
A family bloodline cessation is indeed a grave vow for the grassland nobility, where family lineage is core.
Moreover, Suhe Renhe was making such an oath in front of nurous grassland nobles, indicating sincere intentions.
But... Li Fei's gaze fell on him, calmly asking:
"Did you not hear my previous words, Suhe Khan?"
Upon hearing this, Suhe Renhe instantly went pale.
Li Fei's previously uttered words were known all over the city—
Today, your nation falls!
Suhe Renhe gritted his teeth, stood upright, and t Li Fei's gaze:
"Does Marquis Jing'an intend for absolute extermination?"
Li Fei said indifferently, "Now I am the butcher and you are the at. What do you think?"
Suhe Renhe replied, "Pardon my frankness, my Grassland Royal Court still holds two major cities, possesses an army of a million, has several strong forces, and nurous top-tier masters!
If the Da Lan Dynasty insists on ending the reign of my Grassland Country, our millions of sons would fight to the end!
The Da Lan Dynasty has already undergone several major battles and has yet to rid itself of the West Pole Country, a significant threat. If you wage total war against my grasslands, are you not afraid of the Buddhists reaping the benefits from the sidelines?"
