Barbarians.
With a small mountain reduced to nothing.
In an instant, an unmistakable laugh rang out.
“Hahahahaha, good, good, good, with such divine weapons, my barbarian clan will be able to trample down the Great Wei.”
In the middle of the mountains.
The great general of the barbarian tribe gazed at the small mountain that had been levelled, his eyes were full of confidence and joy.
A large army was holding this place, and dozens of miles around were blocked off.
The barbarian banner stood on the hill, blown by the wind.
A silver cannon, neatly arranged, stood on top of the hill.
Not far away was the great camp.
The great barbarian general, Tulu, stood outside the camp, the joy on his face barely concealed.
The barbarians were going to invade Great Wei.
This was the news he had learned a few days ago.
To the barbarians, Great Wei was a lifelong enemy. How many barbarians had been slaughtered by Emperor Wu during his northern expedition?
The barbarians also had an unshakable hatred with Great Wei.
Don’t look at the fact that the Great Wei kept yelling about the Northern Expedition and the Northern Expedition.
The barbarians were also clamouring every day to kill them back.
The martial artists are all the same in nature, they all want to prove themselves through war.
However, when they really heard that the barbarians were going to invade Great Wei again, the barbarian martial generals were actually somewhat silent.
In the past, they were thinking of killing back because Great Wei was no longer viable, and they still had the Chu Yuan Dynasty and the Tusi Dynasty behind them, so they were really not afraid to fight.
But the barbarian royal family was thinking about something more profound.
The barbarians could kill back, but if they did, all the barbarians’ soldiers would have to die, and if they turned back, they would destroy Wei, but in the same way, the barbarians would be lost.
In the end, they would be doing the dowry for the Chu Yuan Dynasty and the Tusi Dynasty for nothing.
And this extermination of the Great Wei is only the extermination of the central forces of the Great Wei and the complete decline of the Great Wei, not the complete extermination of the Great Wei.
After all, First Grade was still alive, and the barbarians did not have the confidence to dare say that they would exterminate First Grade.
If they had the strength, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and the Sudden Evil Dynasty would have already been frantically replenishing their resources, leaving the barbarians to fight and kill.
The First Grade was a deterrent.
An extremely terrifying deterrent.
Whether it was the Primordial Yuan Dynasty or the Sudden Evil Dynasty, what they would always be thinking about was how to make Great Wei decay, rather than say, destroy it.
For, this is something that is not very realistic.
“With such divine weapons, it is just a matter of days before we can step on Great Wei.”
Thinking of this, Great General Tulu spoke again, his height was a full ten feet, like a giant, and he was wearing armour that gave off a terrifying aura as well as a sense of oppression.
“Great General, this object is indeed powerful, but it is somewhat unlikely that it will be able to level Great Wei, right?”
“There is a First Grade in Great Wei, if we use this kind of artifact, we are only afraid that the First Grade will interfere, right?”
At this moment, the man beside Grand General Tulu spoke up.
The man was very young, twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and was two metres tall, as tall as a giant to an ordinary person, but he looked a little short compared to Grand General Tulu.
This was the fifth prince of the barbarian race, one of the more distinguished royal sons who had been studying beside Grand General Tulu.
“Fifth prince, you don’t understand this, nowadays the world has signed a contract that does not allow the first rank to strike unless it is a newly promoted first rank.”
“In the entire world, the only newly promoted First Grade is the Buddhist sect Huixin, but he is now preaching Mahayana Buddhism in the Western Continent, let alone being free or unavailable, even if he did come out to interfere, the Buddhist sect would not agree.”
“Even if Huixin did come out to interfere, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty, and the Sudden Evil Dynasty would not agree, and when the time comes, even if it is Great Wei that breaks the rules first, especially if there is turmoil in the Sea of Devil’s Domain, the Great Wei Dynasty has not sent a First Grade there.”
“This is already a loss of reason, if we still dare to invite the First Grade to fight, we are only afraid that we will cause the wrath of the First Grade of the world.”
Grand General Tulu spoke up and analysed the current situation in Great Wei.
“Grand General, but there are eight First Cla*ses in Great Wei after all, the Tai Shang Xian Clan and all of them have submitted to Great Wei, when they really tear their faces apart, eight First Cla*ses, they are not something that we can defeat.”
The fifth prince spoke out, his meaning was simple, Great Wei has eight first-grade, qualified to turn the other cheek, tear the other cheek, what are rules in front of absolute force?
But when this was said, Grand General Tulu laughed instead.
“Your Majesty, don’t worry, the Immortal Sect’s first rank, they have submitted to Great Wei, but they will definitely not interfere with the war, unless it comes to the stage where the country is broken, then they will also measure up.”
“And since we dare to fight, we naturally have the means to do so, when it really comes to that time, they won’t necessarily be able to spare their hands.”
Tulu spoke out.
A statement with some connotation.
“Understood.”
The fifth prince nodded, somewhat thoughtful.
But at that moment, suddenly, a figure appeared.
“Who?”
“How dare you.”
“Who dares to barge in?”
A voice rang out, it was the barbarian guards, their great swords drawn, their faces cold as they gazed at the person who had suddenly appeared.
It was the masked man.
He came in front of Tulu and saluted slightly towards him.
“Don’t be rude.”
Great General Tulu held out his hand and told the crowd to lower their guard, then looked at the masked man with a smile and said.
“Greetings, sir.”
Grand General Tulu smiled.
The fifth prince beside him also arched his hand towards the masked man and said sir.
“The Grand General is polite, and so is the Imperial Son.”
The masked man smiled faintly, then bowed towards the two.
“Grand General, Fifth Prince, dare I ask how effective this Heavenly Thunder Cannon is?”
The masked man spoke out as he looked at the two men, yet within the eyes revealed in his mask, he was full of confidence.
“Speak within sir.”
Grand General Tulu did not answer directly, but invited the other man to go inside the camp and speak.
At that moment, the masked man nodded, and then walked with him inside the main camp.
When they walked into the camp.
Tulu’s voice rang out at once.
“Sir, let’s not speak in the dark, this Heavenly Thunder Cannon is effective and equal to the power of the fourth grade, but the problem is that this scale of damage is still not enough.”
“And the quantity is also small, the king has explained something to me, this attack on Great Wei is extremely risky, the Heavenly Thunder Cannon is indeed able to influence the battle, but with this alone, it is still not enough.”
“So, the king is still a bit wary of going out to Great Wei.”
Tu Lu spoke up, only his attitude was very different, before he was confident, praising the power of the Heavenly Thunder Cannon and was even more disdainful of Great Wei.
But when faced with the man in front of him, Tulu’s words were different.
The masked man was not stupid, he instantly understood what Tulu meant, he wanted to ask for more benefits.
Attacking Great Wei was something the barbarians could only dream of.
But for the barbarians to be foolish enough to charge, the barbarians weren’t foolish either. Right now, the Heavenly Thunder Cannon had been given, and for the other side to say such things was just not enough.
This is very greedy.
The masked man’s heart was cold, but outwardly he appeared calm, and even said with a slight apology.
“Great General, this Heavenly Thunder Cannon, which was also recently refined by the Primordial Yuan Dynasty, only has twenty of them before and after, and now all of them have been brought here to help the Barbarian King stamp out the Great Wei.”
“Each Heavenly Thunder Cannon is equal to a fourth-grade strike, and since Great Wei doesn’t understand this kind of thing at all, if we go head-to-head, we can instantly turn the tide of battle and kill Great Wei by surprise.”
The masked man said with a smile, analysing the power of the Heavenly Thunder Cannon.
But as soon as this was said, Tulu shook his head and looked at the masked man and said.
“This, this general understands, but you must also understand, sir, that Great Wei’s reserves, too, are more than twenty fourth-ranked men, and these twenty Heavenly Thunder Cannons are still far from enough.”
“Furthermore, the world thinks that we barbarians are warlike and stupid, but the barbarians are not stupid, I believe that the Primordial Yuan Dynasty will do their best to help my barbarians in order to deal with the Great Wei.”
“But to give the best to my barbarians, to put it in a not so nice way, do you believe it, sir?”
Tulu was not stupid, on the contrary he was smart, they knew that the Primordial Yuan Dynasty was using the barbarians, but it was not a big deal, the main thing was what the barbarians had to gain.
“Great General, I understand what you mean, it just so happens that I have made a trip to the Primordial Yuan Dynasty, and now I have refined thirty Heavenly Thunder Cannons, plus two third-grade Heavenly Thunder Cannons, how about sending them to the barbarian nation all together?”
The masked man laughed.
But Tulu still shook his head and said.
“What my king means is that he needs two hundred Heavenly Thunder Cannons, plus twenty third-grade cannons, and if he has these, he can even the score with Great Wei, if not, the Barbarians will not fight.”
Tulu spoke out, as he stated his demands.
But as soon as he said this, the masked man could not stop laughing.
The barbarians were asking for too much.
“Great General, I’m afraid I can’t, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty can’t refine so many Heavenly Thunder Cannons, is the king being a bit imposing.”
He gave his reply, refusing outright, without so much as a word.
However, when this was said, Grand General Tulu frowned.
“Forcing the issue?”
“Then please tell me, sir, what do the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and the Sudden Evil Dynasty want from our barbarian kingdom?”
“An invasion of the entire army into Great Wei, what concept is that?”
“My barbarian kingdom once had two million lions, since the Northern Expedition, only half a million lions are left, now that we have managed to recover a bit and are back to a million lions again, the two dynasties want my barbarian kingdom to invade with its entire army.”
“If we are talking about the Great Wei two years ago, we indeed have no fear, but now the Great Wei, the country is rich and strong, and has also recruited a lot of troops, plus the battle of invasion, itself is extremely difficult to fight, it is very possible that a million armies will be wiped out.”
“My barbarian country is also considered to have gambled on its national fortune, the two dynasties only need to contribute a little to reap the benefits, if we are not willing to agree even to this, then don’t we think everyone in my barbarian country is a fool?”
Grand General Tulu spoke up, not thinking that the price he was offering was high.
After all, they were the ones fighting for their lives, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and the Sudden Evil Dynasty were the ones supplying behind them, if they lost, the barbarians would be gone, and Great Wei would definitely be badly damaged, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and the Sudden Evil Dynasty would have taken care of their two most headache enemies without any effort.
Who would give up such a good thing?
So to ask for this price was not outrageous, it was just a matter of whether it was acceptable or not.
“Grand General, I naturally understand, but suddenly asking for so many Heavenly Thunder Cannons is not a matter of the Primordial Yuan Dynasty not being willing to give them, but a matter of the material.”
“How about this, if the Barbarian Kingdom can provide the corresponding materials, I can go and talk about it.”
He spoke out.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Grand General Tulu shook his head and said.
“This won’t work, there is a big war coming up and we also need to build weapons, the materials cannot be given.”
“And we also need the full support of the two great dynasties, this is the list written by this general, you should give it to the Emperor of the First Yuan and the Emperor of the Sudden Evil by the way, let them take a look at it, if there is nothing wrong with it, send it to the barbarian kingdom within this month.”
“Sir, you must be more than understanding, after all, we are fighting for our lives.”
“Of course, if the two emperors only need us to go over and scare the Great Wei, all these Heavenly Thunder Cannons will be returned, we don’t need anything, at most we will sacrifice a few thousand generals.”
“We don’t care about anything, as long as you all are willing, the barbarian kingdom does its best to cooperate, after all, there is also a deadly feud between the barbarian kingdom and the Great Wei.”
Grand General Tulu spoke out.
The words were dripping from his mouth, not only did he not provide the materials, but on the contrary, he continued to ask for all sorts of things, this was too big an appetite.
He did not say that it was the king’s intention, but that it was his own intention, so that if there was a deadlock, he would come out and take the blame.
If there was no deadlock, what was on the list was what the barbarian nation wanted.
The masked man took the things on the list.
He took a closer look.
Soon he could not help but take a deep breath.
The items on this list were really lions, from elite siege weapons to small grains, it could be said that they wanted everything.
And the amount of money was enormous.
Thousands of large siege weapons, 100,000,000 catties of grain, and a host of other things, the list was countless.
Plus the Heavenly Thunder Cannon from before.
The barbarian kingdom’s idea immediately dawned on him.
Drain the resources of the two great dynasties before they fought, so that they wouldn’t become the grafting clothes.
This idea he could understand, but the barbarian kingdom’s asking price was too ruthless, not just any ruthless.
So ruthless that it would take one’s breath away.
“Great General, I understand all the reasoning, it’s just that this list of things is a little too much, isn’t it?”
The masked man could no longer laugh, he didn’t even want to disguise it.
There were people who were so ruthless.
Even if you want a little, you want so much?
Those who know are aiding you in the war, those who don’t think they’re building a new dynasty.
“It’s not expensive, it’s not expensive, sir, don’t get excited yet, just take it back and ask.”
Great General Tulu said smilingly, without any hint of resentment, but asked the masked man to take it and ask about it first.
When this was said, the masked man could not help but take a deep breath and shook his head, saying.
“Great General, if I were to take this list over, I am only afraid that I would be expelled by the two emperors.”
“It’s too much, but I can understand the General’s hardship, so how about this, 10%, 10% of everything on the list, I can fight for it, but I can only say fight for it.”
The masked man replied.
But as soon as he said this, Grand General Tulu continued to smile and said.
“Sir, you must not blame this general for saying a not-so-nice thing about you.”
“This is, after all, a deal between the Barbarian Kingdom and the Sudden Evil as well as the Primordial Yuan Dynasty, and sir is only pa*sing on information.”
“Of course, there is no doubt that sir is of great importance, and the king has prepared quite a few things for sir as a treat.”
“But this list, I hope that you will take it first, the success or failure is another matter, but the meaning should be clear, after all, the war between the two countries, there is no room for jokes.”
Great General Tulu’s meaning was clear.
No matter what, the list had to be delivered to the two emperors, whether they agreed or not was one thing, whether they gave it or not was another.
Hearing Grand General Tulu speak in this way, the latter was somewhat silent.
He wanted to say something, but did not know what to say. After looking at the other party’s attitude, the masked man could not help but sigh.
“Since the Great General has put it here, there is nothing more for me to say.”
“All right, this list, I will give it to the two emperors.”
“Only, whether or not it will work, I don’t dare to guarantee.”
The masked man was not in a good mood, the other party was too greedy, but there was nothing he could do to stop it, only this.
“Hahahahaha, thanks a lot sir.”
“Come, come, come, sir, I have prepared fine wine and food for you, come and eat together, come and eat together.”
Hearing the other party’s promise, Great General Tulu immediately warmly invited the other party to join him for a meal.
“No.”
“Thank you, General, for your kindness, but I have business to attend to, so I will not stay for the time being.”
The masked man smiled faintly.
Arching his hand, he was about to leave.
The Great General Tulu did not stop either, but said a few words with a slight look of regret.
Not long afterwards, the latter left the place.
After the masked man had left, the Fifth Prince’s voice could not help but ring out.
“General Tulu, if we offer so many conditions, will they agree?”
“Two hundred Heavenly Thunder Cannons, that’s too terrifying, isn’t it?”
The Fifth Prince frowned, just because he had kept quiet just now did not mean he had no idea.
Once this was said, Tulu’s voice could not help but ring out.
He stood with his hands folded as he looked at the Heavenly Thunder Cannon and said.
“Fifth prince, in fact, let alone say two hundred cannons, these twenty Heavenly Thunder Cannons are enough to win a large battle.”
“On the battlefield, sometimes a small change can turn the tide of all battles.”
“But Fifth Prince, there are two things you should remember.”
“First, we are facing the Great Wei Dynasty, no matter how confident we are, we cannot be too arrogant and C*cky, twenty Heavenly Thunder Cannons, very strong, but definitely not enough, two hundred Heavenly Thunder Cannons are enough to start a full scale war, otherwise the victory or defeat of a battle cannot affect the whole, we have to win step by step.”
“Secondly, no matter what the final outcome of this war is, in the end it is nothing more than two defeats, in the better case, the barbarians win big, in the worse case, the barbarians are damaged, but no matter what the outcome is, it is good for the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and the Sudden Evil Dynasty.”
“And because of this, we can frantically ask for all kinds of benefits, whether they agree or not, right now the only one who can fight with Great Wei is our barbarian nation.”
Tulu said meaningfully.
The latter, however, looked a little thoughtful.
“Great General, then in this battle, can we actually win?”
The Fifth Prince couldn’t help but ask.
Originally, he felt that he could win, but after hearing Grand General Tulu say this, he was inexplicably a little worried.
“With the Heavenly Thunder Cannon in place, what would it take to lose?”
“Each cannon is equivalent to one strike from a fourth-ranked martial artist. The Great Wei method of setting up formations is extremely simple and likes to spar… Fifth Prince, think about it.”
“Let’s say that you are in front of all the soldiers of the Great Wei, hundreds of thousands of them, but when they come within five miles, what is the concept of a cannon blast?”
“At the very least, it can break thousands of armour, twenty Heavenly Thunder cannons can annihilate twenty thousand enemies, the range of the Heavenly Thunder cannons is twenty miles, in other words, even if the Great Wei generals find out in time and choose to flee, they will still be annihilated by at least one hundred thousand.”
“With 100,000 troops wiped out, our barbarian nation will not have to make any effort and will be able to fully ride on the success and attack Great Wei then, with the goal of breaking 300,000 enemies in the first battle.”
“After this battle, Great Wei will have its backbone broken and be completely and utterly deprived of its strength.”
“Fifth prince, I ask you, do you think you can win?”
Grand General Tulu said with unparalleled confidence.
At these words, the Fifth Prince’s eyes could not help but reveal an uplifted look among them.
“Twenty Heavenly Thunder Cannons are so powerful, if there were two hundred of them, it would indeed be possible to push across Great Wei.”
The Fifth Prince muttered.
At the same time, he understood what Grand General Tulu had said.
War was like this, sometimes a reversal of the situation could bring about countless chain reactions, and the first battle was also important, it was a battle of morale.
If the first battle could really wipe out 300,000 enemies, it would be a great boost to the barbarian nation.
For Great Wei, on the other hand, it would be no less than a disaster.
Nowadays, Great Wei feels strong, has flourished, and the country is at peace, so naturally, self-confidence will grow.
So the first battle was of great significance to Great Wei.
Likewise, the first battle was of great significance to the Barbarian Kingdom.
Meanwhile.
The masked man had disappeared, and he arrived at a deserted mountain range, took out an incense stick, and then slowly lit it.
Soon, smoke filled the air, and in its place was a figure.
“Your Holiness.”
“The barbarians are sitting on the land and demanding two hundred Heavenly Thunder Cannons, as well as all kinds of resources. My subordinate believes that this move by the barbarians is bound to attract the resentment of the two dynasties, so I would like to consult Your Majesty.”
The masked man spoke out.
But once this was said, the latter did not make any sound, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, his voice rang out.
“Send the list to the two emperors.”
“If the barbarians are sitting on the ground, let the barbarians go, the barbarians’ invasion must never be postponed.”
“But take a message to the two kings that everything is under control.”
He finished these words and his figure disappeared, leaving behind the somewhat silent masked man.
He was also a little puzzled, the barbarians were sitting on their hands, and to put it mildly, any other power would only not want to agree.
He had thought that if he had said that, his Holiness would have been furious, but he had not expected such a result.
He pondered for a while and then realised a truth.
The barbarian invasion had reached an aggressive stage for the whole game, and at this point, there was no such thing as retreating or not retreating.
The barbarians knew this, and that was why they dared to ask for a price.
Thinking of this, he said nothing more, got up and left for the Sudden Evil Dynasty.
Late at night.
The Sudden Evil Dynasty.
Inside the palace hall.
After the masked man handed over the list, the Sudden Evil Emperor did not get angry as he thought, but looked at the list and said.
“The things on the list, the Sudden Evil Dynasty can give them, but the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, the Sudden Evil Dynasty cannot give it, so I need to trouble Sir to go to the Primordial Yuan Dynasty.”
The Sudden Evil Emperor agreed to do so.
Almost without hesitation, he agreed.
There was no hint of thought, nor was there any hint of hesitation, making the masked man understand even more how terrifying this battle was.
The fact that the Sudden Evil Dynasty was even willing to agree to such a condition meant that they were truly afraid of the Great Wei Dynasty.
“But remember, don’t give an immediate answer, sir can rest for a few days in the Sudden Evil Dynasty and go to the Primordial Yuan Dynasty in a few days.”
“In almost ten days, go to the barbarians and inform them of the final result.”
These were the last words of the Sudden Evil Emperor, reminding the other party.
“Understood.”
The masked man nodded his head.
And then he quietly withdrew.
After he had exited, a figure appeared in the great hall.
“Your Majesty, it is a bit excessive for the barbarians to sit on the ground and suddenly demand such a large amount of resources.”
“Over the years, we have given quite a lot of resources to the barbarians, before and after, adding up to 500,000,000 taels worth, now this list is too much.”
The person stepped out, it was the Chancellor of the dynasty, and he frowned slightly as he warned.
But when this was said, the Emperor of Sudden Evil did not care and said.
“If you have the ability to take it, you must also have the ability to eat it.”
“Give him as much as he wants, as long as he asks the price, and when the barbarians and Great Wei get into a war, we can sit back and reap the benefits.”
The Sudden Evil Emperor’s voice was incomparably calm.
But the meaning was also very clear.
He would give as much as he wanted, and when the two sides were defeated, he would go to the barbarians to get it back.
This was the idea of the Sudden Evil Dynasty, simple and straightforward, you have your ideas and I have my own.
“I understand, it’s just that it’s hard to guarantee that the barbarian nation can’t guess what Your Majesty means.”
The Chancellor’s voice continued to ring out.
It wasn’t that he didn’t think the plan would work, but it was a simple plan, if you could think of it, wouldn’t the other side think of it?
When this was said, the Emperor of Sudden Evil still looked calm.
“He can naturally guess it, but it’s useless even if he does.”
“This battle is a gamble, I am gambling, so is the Primordial Emperor, and the barbarians are still gambling.”
“I am betting that Great Wei will be able to hold, but it will be at a great cost, and the barbarians will inevitably pay a terrible price.”
“The Primordial Yuan Dynasty is also thinking the same thing.”
“As for the barbarians’ thoughts, I am also clear that they just want to claim a sum of resources and then start a tug-of-war with Great Wei.”
“With the resources of the two dynasties, they will develop frantically, after all, invading Great Wei is not something that can be solved in a few months, with a bit of luck, a year and a half, with bad luck, it is not impossible for it to last for three or five years.”
“In that case, even if the barbarians are killed and injured, but with the resources of the two dynasties, they will still not lose much money.”
“In this struggle, Great Wei will be the final loser.”
The Emperor of Sudden Evil analysed the battle.
“Great Wei becomes the only loser?”
“But what if, what if Great Wei does not fight?”
The Chancellor continued to ask.
“No.”
“It is impossible for Great Wei not to fight.”
“Now Great Wei is prospering, as never before, and one Xu Qingnian has made everyone in Great Wei like a dragon.”
“Now they desperately need a battle, a battle to grow their momentum and to prove themselves with a battle.”
“If the two dynasties were to declare war with Great Wei, perhaps Great Wei would not dare to fight, but if the barbarians declare war, it is impossible for Great Wei not to fight, and if they don’t, the country’s fortunes will be damaged.”
“Right now, Great Wei’s national fortunes have reached the point where they are taking shape, and once they do, they will forge the Dragon Cauldron of the Middle Continent.”
“Therefore, Great Wei will definitely answer the war.”
“And my Sudden Evil, as well as the Primordial Yuan Dynasty, will be able to sway this battle; if Great Wei fails, they can restrict the barbarians, and if the barbarians fail, they can restrict Great Wei.”
“Let them consume and deplete their troops first, and when the critical moment comes, whether it is Great Wei or the barbarians, they will be destroyed together.”
Thus said the Emperor of Sudden Evil.
When this was said, the latter nodded thoughtfully as he approved of this statement.
“Then what if.”
“Your Majesty, I mean what if, the barbarians cannot defeat Great Wei? After all, Great Wei has a Xu Qingnian and such a terrible national fortune that the barbarians, once upon a time, might be able to outwit Great Wei, after all, with the support of two dynasties.”
“But now …….”
The Chancellor of the Sudden Evil stopped speaking here, for it would be somewhat less than good to say any more.
“Don’t worry.”
“The Heavenly Thunder Cannon refined by the Primordial Yuan Dynasty is extremely powerful, and Great Wei will definitely not be able to resist the barbarians.”
“To put it in a bad light, I am rather worried that the barbarians will kill too hard and go straight to the capital of Great Wei.”
“If that is the case, instead, we have to go and help Great Wei.”
“Forget it, no matter what, let’s see what happens first, we can only pray that Great Wei is not as weak as we thought.”
When the Emperor of Sudden Evil said this, he said no more.
And the latter nodded, and in his heart, he inexplicably despised Great Wei a little more.
And so it was.
In the blink of an eye, three days had pa*sed.
Three days later, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty.
Compared to the calmness of the Sudden Evil Emperor, the Primordial Yuan Emperor was a little unsettled.
“Two hundred Heavenly Thunder Cannons?”
“What are the barbarians trying to do here?”
The Primordial Emperor’s face was cold as he sat on the dragon chair and looked at the other party as such.
The Primordial Emperor was truly furious.
He knew that the barbarian race was insatiable, but he did not expect the other party to be so insatiable.
To ask for two hundred Heavenly Thunder Cannons.
This was too shameless, wasn’t it?
But after the outburst of anger, the Primordial Emperor fell silent again and looked at the masked man.
“What tone of voice did he use to say that?”
The Primordial Emperor asked the masked man.
“In reply to Your Majesty, Great General Tulu insisted that I send the list, but His Majesty Sudden Evil has promised the contents of the list, but the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, His Majesty Sudden Evil said there was nothing he could do.”
The masked man replied.
The barbarians’ asking price was, indeed, excessive, the most excessive being this Heavenly Thunder Cannon, an item that was too powerful.
Two hundred of them, it could change too many wars, it was hard not to win.
Hearing the masked man’s reply, the First Yuan Emperor’s expression was slightly gloomy.
It was clear that the Sudden Evil Emperor was trying to force himself into this chess game, and it wasn’t just him, in fact people in the shadows had already started setting it up.
The only one who could fight the Great Wei head-on right now was the barbarians.
It wasn’t that the Primordial Yuan Dynasty couldn’t fight, but that the Primordial Yuan Dynasty couldn’t fight.
If the Primordial Yuan Dynasty declared war with Great Wei, it would not be an ordinary war, it would inevitably be a battle between the first rank.
The barbarians were different, the barbarians already had an enmity with Great Wei, plus the fact that the barbarians did not have a First Grade, and declaring war with Great Wei, coupled with the previous ban on First Grade, naturally, even if Great Wei wanted to send a First Grade.
I am afraid that even if they wanted to send a First Grade, they could not do so at will.
As long as the country did not break the mountains and rivers, then Great Wei could only break its teeth and swallow in its stomach if it lost.
This time, war has been declared.
The aim is not to destroy Great Wei, but to defeat it, just like the previous Northern Expedition, so that the barbarians can hold Great Wei in check.
The Great Wei Dragon Tripod has already been formed, and the next step is the Dragon Tripod of the Central Continent.
Won’t the two great dynasties panic?
Aren’t the people in the shadows afraid?
In fact, they are both panicked and afraid, otherwise, there is no need to aid the barbarians so much.
What he hadn’t expected was that the barbarians had such a huge appetite, asking for two hundred Heavenly Thunder Cannons, the twenty given before was already considered the limit.
This was something that the Primordial Yuan Dynasty understood even better how powerful it was, and because of this, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty didn’t want to take it out even more.
It would be troublesome to get back what was given out later.
He was pondering.
The hall was incomparably quiet.
The masked man was also silent, after all, to put it bluntly, he was just an errand boy.
A long time pa*sed.
The voice of the Primordial Emperor rang out.
“What are the chances of winning this attack on Great Wei?”
He opened his mouth and asked.
“In reply to Your Majesty, at least ninety-five percent, this time the barbarians have been motivated and have a million-strong army, and in a head-to-head battle, they are by no means weaker than Great Wei.”
“In addition to the Chu Yuan Dynasty’s Heavenly Thunder cannon, once the battle begins, the Wei army will be routed.”
“The Sudden Evil Dynasty’s supply of resources will allow the barbarians to continue fighting.”
“As for among Great Wei, Prince Huai Ning has promised to call on the Great Wei va*sal kings to start raising an army to rebel as soon as something happens.”
“By then, Great Wei will be in internal and external trouble, and within a month, we can push across the twelve counties of Great Wei, without involving the capital, so that the first rank will not strike.”
“Three months sooner, six months slower, a quarter of Great Wei’s territory will also have fallen completely, and by then Your Majesty and the Emperor of Tusi will have stepped in to reconcile and see the nibbling away of Great Wei’s land.”
“And the fortunes of the Great Wei state will also collapse, with endless benefits.”
The masked man said in earnest analysis.
At these words, the Great Emperor of Sudden Evil nodded, and then continued to ask.
“Is Prince Huaining really willing to dedicate his kingdom?”
“I have heard that Prince Huaining has been pitied by you and the others.”
He inquired.
At the mention of Prince Huaining, the masked man was suddenly confident.
“Please rest a*sured, Your Majesty, Prince Huaining has nothing left now, and he only has this path to choose from.”
“Furthermore, we did not victimise Prince Huaining, everything was because of Xu Qingnian, but it was because of Xu Qingnian that Prince Huaining hated him to death.”
“His son, who died at the hands of Xu Qingnian, is now being pushed by Xu Qingnian step by step, and is still in the imperial prison.”
“Your Majesty, just think about it, a prince in his own right, caught in the imperial prison, if he doesn’t hate Great Wei, how can he?”
“As long as we can get the empress to step down, the kingdom will certainly be willingly offered up.”
“Even if Prince Huaining is reluctant and turns against him in the face of battle, there is still a Ji Yuan, and who will be the Emperor of Great Wei, is it still the will of the two majesties?”
The masked man was very sophisticated in his analysis.
When the Emperor of Sudden Evil heard this, he could not help but nod his head.
This was the truth.
Previously, it was only a Prince Huai Ning, and to put it bluntly, if Prince Huai Ning was supported to ascend to the throne, there was really no guarantee that he would not turn against the Emperor.
After all, having become Emperor of Great Wei, no one would dare to do such a thing as dedicate the country.
The people of Great Wei would also be scolded to death, and the courtiers would all storm out.
But now it was different, there was a Ji Yuan, and if Prince Huaining did not listen, then let Ji Yuan go up.
Thinking of this, the Emperor of Tusi spoke out.
“You go back and tell the barbarian king that two hundred Heavenly Thunder Cannons, this is absolutely impossible, the limit is to send another eighty Divine Martial Cannons, as for the third grade, five, not even one more.”
“Moreover, after the attack on Great Wei, the materials for refining the Heavenly Thunder Cannons must be found for me to make up for my losses.”
“If he is unwilling, then forget it, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty has no desire to get involved.”
The Primordial Yuan Emperor spoke, this was his final bottom line.
Two hundred cannons, that was impossible.
Giving eighty more would be the limit.
As for the third-grade ones, it wasn’t that he couldn’t give them, but the third-grade ones were too troublesome to refine, and the materials needed were even rarer, wanting twenty of them? You have to have them too.
When this was said, the masked man nodded his head.
Two hundred doors were indeed too many, and adding another eighty would be the limit.
“Please don’t worry, Your Majesty, I will certainly pa*s on the message clearly.”
The masked man said so.
And the latter didn’t say anything more, allowing the masked man to rest for a while and then letting him leave.
As the masked man left.
Soon, several figures appeared, all with a cold intent.
“Your Majesty, this barbarian race is really insatiable, two hundred Heavenly Thunder Cannons, they want to fart and eat them, right?”
“Your Majesty, even eighty Heavenly Thunder Cannons are a bit too many, our Primordial Yuan Dynasty only has two hundred, send eighty directly, this ……..”
“Even the third grade is only ten, directly sharing half of them, this is too greedy.”
Several figures appeared and opened their mouths to start insulting the barbarians for being too greedy.
But the Primordial Emperor stretched out his hand and told the crowd to be quiet.
“I understand.”
“There is no need to say more.”
“But rest a*sured, all the lovers, the Heavenly Thunder Cannons sent to you are faulty and will last for half a year at most, and after half a year, they will all fail.”
“And within these six months, the Ministry of Works can still build them back, all that is lacking is just the materials, as long as they invade Great Wei and scavenge the materials, they can refine a second grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon.”
“Fourth grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon, third grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon, all of these things are useless, only the second grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon is what the Primordial Yuan Dynasty is after.”
“If we want to overthrow the Great Wei, if we want to eradicate the Sudden Evil Dynasty, the Heavenly Thunder Cannon is vital.”
“It’s not hard to sacrifice some of the first finished products.”
The Primordial Yuan Emperor spoke out, he didn’t care about these Heavenly Thunder Cannons, and was merely disguising himself in front of the masked man earlier.
What was the use of a fourth-grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon?
The third grade wasn’t much use either.
Wanting to dominate the Central Continent.
If you want to dominate the Middle Continent, if you want to step on the Great Wei and punch the evil, you have to refine a second-rate Heavenly Thunder Cannon.
At that time, God will be able to kill God, Buddha will be able to kill Buddha, and the unification of the Central Continent will not be a dream.
Once these words were said, the ministers also understood the ambition of the Primordial Emperor.
For a moment, the crowd did not talk much around this matter, but mentioned another matter.
“Your Majesty, the Sudden Evil Dynasty is also secretly refining the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, and has sent a few spies, who have already been caught by the Ministry of War, what should be done?”
The Minister of Penalties spoke up and looked at the Primordial Yuan Emperor.
“Detain them in prison.”
“As for the Sudden Evil Dynasty studying it, let them study it, there is no way around it, they will study it sooner or later.”
“But as long as the Primordial Yuan Dynasty is not overtaken by them, they have to toss out a true earthly killing weapon, the Second Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon, as soon as possible.”
“It can’t be like the Great Wei, developing some kind of business, this Xu Qingnian, when it’s really ridiculous.”
“The people at the bottom, are the people at the bottom, they never know that war killing weapons are the foundation of the dynasty.”
“What’s the point of earning so much silver? What is the use of a bumper crop of food? It’s nothing but a dowry for me.”
“Right now, I really want to see how the barbarians will look like when they face Wei with their Heavenly Thunder Cannon.
The Great Emperor Chu Yuan said with confidence.
These words were also extremely domineering, and all the ministers nodded their heads as they approved of what the Primordial Emperor had said.
This was the truth.
For a dynasty, economic development was certainly important, but military power determined everything.
Soon.
In the blink of an eye.
Five days pa*sed.
The masked man came to the barbarians, conveying the two emperors’ wishes.
Only, the barbarians’ demand was very straightforward: thirty more Heavenly Lightning Cannons of the fourth grade, and five more Heavenly Lightning Cannons of the third grade, or no negotiation.
And when the Primordial Yuan Dynasty learned of this, they also directly vetoed it.
Although they wanted the barbarians to go to war, the asking price was too harsh and the Primordial Yuan Dynasty did not want to agree to it in this way.
The main thing was that the barbarians were too much.
In the end, after a ten-day-long negotiation, the barbarians’ lowest bottom line was to add ten more fourth-grade Heavenly Thunder Cannons and five third-grade Heavenly Thunder Cannons.
The Primordial Yuan Dynasty still did not agree, which involved the fundamentals.
The good thing was that the Sudden Evil Dynasty intervened and was willing to take out some of the materials, and promised that if the barbarians succeeded in their invasion of Great Wei, the minerals obtained would be given to the Chuyuan Dynasty first.
It was because of this that the Primordial Yuan Dynasty agreed to do so.
And so it was, in the middle of August.
The Sudden Evil, Primordial Yuan and the Barbarians formally agreed to set up a military office among the Barbarians to prepare for the war against Great Wei.
The two dynasties had been dealing with the barbarians for nearly a month.
It was impossible for the Great Wei not to know the information.
But the barbarians are extremely secretive, and the information that has come in so far is only that the barbarians are suspected of wanting to fight, and information about such intelligence as the Heavenly Thunder Cannon has not reached Great Wei at all.
Great Wei Dynasty.
Everything seemed to be incomparably calm.
For the people, no one knew what would happen next, and the people continued to do what they had to do.
There was no news of any war at all.
The ministers in the court were not too sure either, someone was blocking the news.
It was Xu Qingnian.
He had intentionally blocked the news so that only the empress, Chen Zhengru, Zhang Jing, Duke of An and Duke of Lu knew about it.
The Prince of Huining had already fallen on his sword, so naturally the Great Wei could not react in any explicit way, otherwise, the role of this pawn would be completely wasted.
In the Prince of Peace and Chaos’s residence.
Xu Qingnian, Prime Minister Chen Zhengru, Minister of War Zhang Jing, Duke of An and Duke of Lu were gathered in a secret room.
The secret room was covered with various drawings and battlefield sandboxes, this was the military office, hidden and safe.
“Your Majesty, half a million troops have quietly entered the border, and the six va*sal kings have changed their clothes for them and successfully integrated.”
“The Great Desolate Army, the Heavenly Son Army, and the Qilin Army have each drawn out half of their troops to guard Langxi to East City, so as long as the barbarian hordes dare to rush all the way in, they will be caught in a jar.”
Zhang Jing spoke out, as he stated the arrangement of the Ministry of War.
“Good.”
Xu Qingnian nodded.
Then the voice of Lord An Guo rang out.
“Shouren, I’ve sent someone to investigate, the barbarians have secretly deployed the troops from the three major army camps, and from the intelligence, it’s likely that the barbarians will attack with their entire army this time.”
“By that time, if a million troops are a*sembled, it would be a bit risky to just let them in.”
“In my opinion, we should take out another million troops and push them forward fifty miles, disguise them as people, or hide them, so that at the critical moment, they can also counter-encircle, how about that?”
The Duke of An spoke up.
He had his own information and was naturally a little worried when he learned that the barbarians might attack with their entire army.
After all, although he had obtained the information in advance, Xu Qingnian’s idea was actually to trick the barbarian army into coming in, and then surround and attack.
This method was good.
But the problem was that if the numbers were too large, once they came in, it would be easy to lose control.
Just as soon as this was said, Duke Lu’s voice could not help but ring out.
“Impossible.”
“A million troops entering the country, unless the barbarians are crazy.”
“Furthermore, the border has been reshuffled, so even if they wanted to attack in, it wouldn’t be an easy task.”
“Duke An, you are worrying too much.”
Duke Lu spoke out, he didn’t think the barbarians would invade with their entire army.
After all, it took time to attack a city.
Even with an army of a million, it was easy for you to break through a single city, but the border was more than just one city, there were seven barriers in total.
How are you going to get in in one go?
If you can’t get in in one go, it would be extremely unfavourable for the barbarians, just like the previous rebellion in the Fan Kingdom.
Invading the interior of Great Wei, Great Wei can give a constant supply of supplies, can the barbarians do that?
“This ……. I don’t believe it either, but the intelligence content is indeed like that.”
Duke An didn’t know how to reply either.
He did not know about the Heavenly Thunder Cannon.
So this intelligence, he was also a bit puzzled.
“No need to worry, just follow the plan.”
Just at this moment, Xu Qingnian’s voice rang out as he stopped the two of them from debating, and everything would just go according to the plan.
As Xu Qingnian spoke, the two State Dukes were somewhat eager to speak.
If it were anyone else, they would have said a few words and argued with force, but the problem was that the person in front of them was Xu Qingnian.
They had nothing to argue about.
“Now that some deployments have been made, let’s wait for the barbarians to declare war.”
After Xu Qingnian made sure that all aspects were ready, he had no more thoughts.
He knew what the barbarians’ greatest reliance was.
It was none other than the Heavenly Thunder Cannon.
And Xu Qingnian also acquiesced to Prince Huai Ning’s ploy to trick the barbarian army into the territory of Great Wei, so that they would be blindly confident and attack with their entire army.
At that time, he himself would bring along the First Grade Divine Martial Cannon and let the barbarians enjoy a different kind of excitement.
But the consequence of this approach was that some of them would have died for nothing.
But if these people did not sacrifice, there would be many more.
There were not so many thoughts.
Xu Qingnian wrote his zhengzhi and gave the overall war ideas to Chen Zhengru, who sent them to His Majesty.
Afterwards, Xu Qingnian left the secret room.
He was going to continue refining the Divine Martial Cannon.
Currently, there was only one First Grade Divine Martial Cannon, five Second Grade Divine Martial Cannons, twenty Third Grade Cannons, and none Fourth Grade.
When it came to this situation, the fourth-grade Divine Martial Cannon was not very useful.
The first, second and third grades were already enough, especially the first grade. If there was another first grade Divine Martial Cannon, Xu Qingnian would rather not have the second and third grades.
There was still some time before the barbarians went to war, so Xu Qingnian planned to refine one or two more second-grade Divine Martial Cannons.
But after all was said and done, it was still a matter of material.
There was too little of the extremely high quality spirit gold, so little.
Moreover, after this battle was over, there would be new troubles, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and the Sudden Evil Dynasty, would certainly not remain indifferent.
Faced with such a terrifying war killing weapon, they would definitely not be indifferent.
And so it was.
Time pa*sed little by little.
In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival festivities had also pa*sed.
September.
Everything seemed very quiet.
It was as if nothing had crossed paths between the Great Wei, the First Yuan, the Sudden Evil and the Barbarians.
No one knows what will happen in the future.
No one will know that a great war is coming.
The Great Wei was waiting.
The barbarians were also waiting.
Everyone was preparing, preparing for this great battle.
September 10th.
Finally.
The Great Wei border.
The patrolling generals were stationed at the city gates as usual.
Only on that very day.
Deafening noises rang out.
When they looked up, rolling smoke filled the air, the sound of horses’ hooves, raising dozens of feet of yellow sand.
“Enemy attack, enemy attack, enemy attack.”
Above the city gates, all sorts of voices rang out, and the generals stationed in the city, their faces paling, darted away to deliver the news.
The wolf smoke rose, the city gates were instantly closed, all kinds of stone throwers were transported to the city, the people hid in their homes, and an elite group of generals came to the city walls, prepared their bags of arrows and drew their bows in preparation for battle.
Soon.
Tens of thousands of barbarian hordes gathered outside the city gates.
There was no chance to speak at all, and in an instant, the ground began to shake as the iron horses charged.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
Countless arrow feathers fell, and the barbarian army raised their iron shields, blocking them, while behind them, hundreds of men dragged a large cannon and slowly appeared within five miles outside the city.
In an instant.
Tens of thousands of iron hors*men split in two, leaving a long path in the middle.
Before the Great Wei generals could react.
Boom.
A loud thunderclap came.
An incomparably terrifying force struck, directly shattering the city gates, and the six-foot gate instantly turned into countless flying debris, spilling down into the city.
The generals who were outside the city gate flew out sideways on the spot, and their bodies were even blown apart in a miserable manner.
“What is this?”
“What is this thing?”
“It’s the power of the third grade.”
“What’s going on here?”
Inside the city, countless generals were stunned, they didn’t know what had happened.
Just as quickly, the barbarian iron hors*men had already killed their way into the city.
This battle had come too suddenly.
No one was prepared, and no one imagined that the city gates would be broken down so quickly.
Morale began to disappear straight away the moment the gates broke.
And then, a ma*sacre greeted them.
Generals were beheaded and the people were slaughtered.
Some barbarian generals, even heartless, knew that the people were hiding in the cellars and set fire to them directly, covering the exits with huge stones and burning the people of Great Wei alive.
There was no ability to resist, nor was there any qualification to resist.
It was a one-sided ma*sacre.
And such a thing happened at the same time in several surrounding border cities.
This day.
Three border cities were sacked in blood, and a decree from Heaven was sent into the palace.
Great Wei was instantly abuzz.
The upper and lower cla*ses were in an uproar.
Who would have thought that the barbarians would invade Great Wei out of the blue.
And they opened with the ma*sacre of three ancient border cities.
When the news reached Wei, the empress was furious and issued nine holy decrees at once, sending troops to suppress the invasion and demanding a positive answer from the barbarians.
But the barbarians did not give an answer.
Instead, they were ecstatic.
The power of the Heavenly Thunder cannon had boosted the morale of the entire barbarian army.
Normally, a battle to attack a city would require at least 50,000 men, and even a surprise attack would take a day or two to break through the gates.
But today, almost in a flash, the gates were breached and a one-sided battle ensued.
The Wei generals themselves were no match for the barbarian generals, and secondly, when the gates were breached in one go, the Wei generals needed to protect the people and were dragged down, not to mention the low morale in the face of the terrifying barbarian generals.
Naturally, there was no comparison between the two.
The barbarians’ morale was boosted by this battle, and the clan cheered.
Therefore, just late at night, the barbarians sent another 100,000 troops, 20,000 in a group, to continue their invasion of Great Wei.
With the help of the Heavenly Thunder cannon.
This late night was just a night of anger for most of the people of Great Wei.
But on the following day.
The battle report came into the capital once again.
The five fortified cities were once again destroyed, no one survived and the women were all taken prisoner.
The officers in the city advised the women to kill themselves.
This one sentence meant simply that once the gates were broken, it was better to kill oneself than not to kill oneself.
This was the response of the barbarians.
Five cities were used to respond to Great Wei.
The first report of this story was in the Great Wei literary press, and for a moment, the whole of Great Wei was completely and utterly abuzz.
In the streets and alleys, everyone was denouncing the barbarians’ actions and demanding that Great Wei send troops to fight.
The whole of Wei was filled with curses, both at the barbarians for their shamelessness and brutality in their surprise attack, and at the Wei court for not sending troops at the critical moment.
How could the people not be outraged that the barbarians were preying on Wei and yet Wei had no defence?
In particular, a rumour was spread in Wei, half-truths and half-falsehoods.
They described the brutality of the barbarians and made the people angry and hate them for not fighting.
And for the barbarians.
The raid had left them dumbfounded too.
It was too easy.
The eight most important fortified cities were easily taken. In that case, the barbarians had the absolute initiative, occupying the eight cities as a base point, and then pushing all the way to the interior of Great Wei.
The victory of two consecutive battles did not make the barbarian army completely blind and confident.
Until the second day.
The 500,000-strong army arranged by Xu Qingnian came out, which, to outsiders, appeared to be generals drawn from va*sal kings all over the border.
But in reality, these 500,000 troops were the elite of Great Wei.
Half a million troops were a*sembled, but they also had a mission today, not to kill each other and to flee the battlefield at the critical moment.
This was a military order.
Although they did not understand it, they had to obey it.
For this great battle, the barbarians also sent a hundred thousand troops to meet the battle.
All the Heavenly Thunder Cannons were pulled in.
At midday, the great battle opened.
All the story is as the barbarians guessed, the moment the Heavenly Thunder cannon was fired, half a million troops were routed and fled in all directions.
It was this battle that gave the barbarians complete confidence.
Half a million troops.
Although they were the elites sent by the va*sal kings from all over the world, not the real elites of Great Wei, they were half a million.
With only 100,000 troops, the barbarians had not only defeated half a million troops.
And they advanced inwards to nine more cities.
This was the result of a day’s battle.
How could such a horrific figure not drive the barbarians mad?
And how could it not make the barbarian army swell?
The last time they invaded Great Wei, when they fought here, it took close to a month and a half.
And this time?
Two days.
And the other side sent 500,000 troops, our side only used 100,000 troops, casualties were almost zero, and the other side died by at least tens of thousands.
It was expected to kill 200,000 to 300,000, but the half-million strong army was so wimpy that they just ran away.
The barbarians could understand when they thought that they were soldiers and horses raised by a va*sal king.
Only, they were more confident that if the Great Wei soldiers and horses came, they could break the enemy by 200,000.
At least kill two hundred thousand.
That was exactly what happened.
The barbarians frantically took over the city, bloodshed all the way, with great casualties.
It was a lot more than the 100,000 that had been expected.
Inside the capital of Great Wei.
As one battle report came in.
Xu Qingnian’s face also became more and more ugly.
“Your Majesty, the border has lost sixteen cities, and the barbarians, with their million strong army, have taken over and are stockpiling food, ah.”
The battle report came in.
Xu Qingnian took a deep breath, finally the battle report he wanted to hear the most had come.
“Pa*s on this king’s military orders.”
“Five major army battalions, a*semble at the border.”
“This king will personally lead the troops to fight the barbarians, to the death.”
Xu Qingnian opened his mouth and gave the military order directly.
Now that the barbarians occupied sixteen cities, it was difficult not to swell with confidence.
Right now, once the Great Wei dispatched its five battalions to battle, the barbarians would definitely send all their troops, as well as their Heavenly Thunder cannons, to battle.
They want to fight a real battle.
And this battle, the barbarians had been expecting for a long time.
But Xu Qingnian, too, had been looking forward to it for a long time.
And so it was.
Five days later.
The people of Great Wei were watching the battle every minute of every day.
Amongst the borders.
A large army was coming from all directions.
The twenty-three cities on the border had long since been replaced with the great banners of the barbarians.
During these five days, the barbarians continued to advance with impunity, gaining seven more cities, all with great effect.
Because of this, the barbarians were getting more and more rampant.
But they were also keeping an eye on Great Wei.
They were informed that Xu Qingnian had personally led his troops to the city.
The barbarians did not take Xu Qingnian lightly, so they gathered all their armies and planned to have a real encounter.
It was good enough to fight here in a surprise attack.
They knew in their hearts that it would be impossible to keep raiding.
Sooner or later, the two countries would have to meet head-on.
Today they are merely winning a pre-emptive strike.
If they wanted a real foundation-building battle, they would have to fight head-on.
Therefore, the million barbarian army, long ago, had been prepared so that if they won this battle, Great Wei would lose half of it.
So it was.
The following day.
At last, the Great Wei army came, five major army camps, two million troops, appeared around the border, partly entering the city to calm the people, partly a*sembling for the battlefield.
They gathered in the land of the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range.
It was on this day.
A great battle was about to take place.
The two armies, the Wei army and the barbarian army, gathered in the Skywolf Mountain Range, with the momentum of both armies extremely high.
The Wei generals’ eyes were filled with slaughter and anger.
The barbarians, on the other hand, were full of confidence, having won too many battles over the past few days.
Today, they were absolutely confident in this battle.
And on that very day, the barbarians responded positively to Wei.
The general meaning was simple.
The Empress of Great Wei is a faint and incompetent emperor, and the previous emperor of Great Wei was brutal and unkind, so this battle is a battle of revenge for the barbarian nation.
In the Sky Wolf Mountain Range.
Xu Qingnian also slowly appeared in this place.
He came first and did not go to the military camp.
Instead, he came to the battlefield.
When Xu Qingnian appeared.
The great general of the barbarians, Tulu, also appeared.
The two army leaders appeared and the scene was instantly tense.
And this scene was watched by countless forces.
They knew that the great battle was about to begin.
