"Form the array!!"
Li Tianyu raised his right hand and issued the military order.
Racing all the way without stopping to reach Xuanji City, more than two thousand soldiers of the Imperial Camp Army were actually extrely exhausted, and their Sha Qi was greatly depleted.
But with Li Tianyu's order, everyone without hesitation stimulated their Qi-Blood, force, and spirit, and in the blink of an eye, two military formations were activated. The black Evil Qi transford into two flood dragons, soaring into the sky!
The flood dragons ascended into the air, glaring nacingly at the city below.
Over Xuanji City, amidst thick smoke, a giant claw covered in crimson scales extended out.
The atmosphere turned murderous!
Wang Xingmin straightened his posture, his expression becoming serious:
"What does Special Envoy Li an by this?"
Li Tianyu put away the Imperial Decree and gripped the spear in her hand:
"Within ten breaths, if you do not open the city and surrender, I will order an assault on the city!"
Wang Xingmin imdiately changed color and said sharply:
"What is the aning of this?"
Li Tianyu did not answer, she simply started the countdown:
"Ten!"
"Even if we were truly to surrender, such conduct from your country is indeed disheartening!"
"Nine!"
"Can we not sit down and talk it over?"
"Eight!"
"Admiral Qiu, Special Envoy Li, we are truly sincere, why not enter the city for a discussion?"
"Seven!"
"Being so aggressive, are you not afraid of ruining the friendship between our countries and spoiling the grand plans of the Emperor of Great Lan?"
"Six!"
"Do you think you can breach my Xuanji City with just a re two thousand n?!"
All the good words were said, yet Li Tianyu did not give an inch of face, and Wang Xingmin also beca angry.
"Five!"
Li Tianyu's tone did not change in the slightest, nor did her gaze waver.
"Our Xuanmo Country may surrender but cannot be humiliated. That's all I have to say—if you insist on proceeding, go ahead and try!"
Wang Xingmin adopted a tough stance.
On the city wall, soldiers drew their weapons!
"Four!"
In the two military formations of the Imperial Camp Army, soldiers also drew their swords, ready to charge.
Wang Xingmin spoke no more.
"Three!"
Li Tianyu's countdown continued without interruption.
"Two!"
She herself retreated into the military formation, while Qiu Zian rose into the air, about to release the Martial Arts Domain.
"Special Envoy Li, is there a need to be so aggressive?"
A mighty voice suddenly resonated from within Xuanji City, echoing across the world.
Wang family's true helmsman, and currently Xuanmo Country's biggest decision-maker, the top Grandmaster on the Heavenly List, Wang Chengze, finally appeared.
A figure rose from within Xuanji City, landing on the city wall like a shooting star.
"Father."
Upon seeing the newcor, Wang Xingmin saluted and decisively stepped back.
Wang Chengze looked far younger than his own son, wearing a black robe, with eyes sharp as an eagle's, exuding a chilling presence.
"Wang Chengze, you finally deign to appear, such arrogance."
Qiu Zian said coldly.
Wang Chengze t her gaze, explaining, "Admiral Qiu, I was indeed in seclusion to heal, not deliberately avoiding seeing anyone."
Then he looked towards Li Tianyu within the military formation:
"If Special Envoy Li is unwilling to enter the city for talks, I can also co out to discuss with you. Please withdraw the military formation."
"There is nothing left to discuss."
Wang Chengze took the initiative to step back, but Li Tianyu did not seize the opportunity to relent:
"Today, if you do not surrender on behalf of Xuanmo Country to my Da Lan Dynasty, then we go to war!"
Wang Chengze's face darkened, the aura of a Peak Grandmaster emanated through the City Defense Array, sharp as a blade:
"Is this your intention, or the Emperor of Great Lan's?"
Li Tianyu's expression remained unchanged: "This is, of course, His Majesty's intention!"
Wang Chengze frowned: "Even if we truly have to surrender, do we not need to first negotiate the specific terms?"
Li Tianyu: "There's nothing to negotiate, open the city and surrender imdiately! I want to hold the surrender ceremony inside Xuanji City! Otherwise, I will order an assault on the city!"
Wang Chengze shook his head: "Just two thousand troops dare threaten a siege; it would be one thing if that Duke personally commanded, but on what grounds do you?"
Li Tianyu was unfazed, boldly declaring:
"I may not be on par with Duke Jing'an, but I at least have the courage to face death!"
"Either you open the city and surrender imdiately, or I will order an assault and then die on this battlefield. There are no other options!"
Her attitude was unwavering to the extre, giving Wang Chengze no room to compromise.
This was the decision she had made before arriving—
Either successfully force Xuanmo to surrender, or she would die fighting here today!
Wang Chengze felt Li Tianyu's determination and found it quite troubling.
The Buddhist Sect indeed had sent people to communicate with him secretly beforehand, but he did not know their exact plan. However, they advised him just to stall a little longer, not to rush to surrender to Da Lan Dynasty, as there might be a turning point.
Thus, Wang Chengze claid to be in seclusion to heal, letting Wang Xingmin negotiate to buy more ti.
Unexpectedly, Da Lan Dynasty just sent a re two thousand Imperial Camp Army soldiers, demanding unconditional surrender?!
Wang Chengze did not know the Buddhist Sect's exact plan, nor did he know Li Fei was in a perilous situation.
But he knew Li Tianyu's identity; if she truly died here today, how could the Wang family withstand Duke Jing'an's overwhelming wrath in the future?
So although Li Tianyu appeared to offer Wang Chengze choices, in reality, it was just one phrase—
Surrender or die!
There is no diplomacy for weak nations.
Wang Chengze felt more humiliation at this mont than in the past decades combined!
Seeing his silence, Li Tianyu lost all patience:
"Assault the city!"
The military order was given, Sha Qi tore through the air, and Sword Gang slashed forward.
....
Shortly after Li Tianyu and her troops arrived at Xuanji City, the remaining Imperial Camp Army regint of the Savage Killing Army and several experts from the Southern Border Army reached the capital of Red Desert Country, Red God City.
