Chapter 499: Silence
The King of Yingshui felt that there were more and more traitors.
If 100,000 were wiped out by 10,000, there might still be some excuse for making amends. But now, 150,000 have been wiped out by the same 10,000, and we also have to take into account the enemy's existing losses and the situation of the subsequent troops...
And then it was gone.
Guan Tongjun claimed that he had been cut into three or four pieces, but the King of Yingshui did not believe him at all!
How could such a heaven-defying military formation possibly exist in the world? Impossible!
Even the Central Plains Dynasty didn't have such military formations and techniques, let alone the devastated Yanluo Kingdom. So it must be that Commander Guan betrayed the army and defected to the enemy. As for his 150,000 elite troops, they certainly weren't wiped out, but rather defected to Yanluo Kingdom on the spot! Thinking of this, the King of Yingshui Kingdom's face turned ashen!
For the mighty Yingshui Kingdom to have its Grand Commander himself rebel with over 100,000 elite troops is utterly disgraceful.
This disgrace must not be tolerated!
"That fellow surnamed Guan dares to treat me like this, dares to defect to another place!"
"I will raze the capital of Yanluo to the ground, leaving not a single blade of grass behind!"
"That traitor must be torn to pieces and fed to the dogs!"
The King of Yingshui was very excited, but the ministers below him remained silent, and only his mad roar filled the air.
Everyone's expressions were those of someone who had lost their parents; the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
Although the king was furious, his subordinates, if not completely insightful, were at least fairly clear-headed.
Regardless of the truth, Yanluo Kingdom is conquering cities and territories, while Yingshui Kingdom has lost nearly 250,000 elite troops and dozens of brave generals. Yanluo Kingdom is winning all the time, whether it's true or not!
Shadowwater Kingdom has been losing all along!
Moreover, saying that Guan Tongjun defected to the enemy is too far-fetched. Guan Tongjun has served Yingshui Kingdom for more than a hundred years, and his family has taken root in Yingshui Kingdom. Now, if he chooses to defect, he should defect to Yanluo Kingdom. In any case, he should take his family with him. That would be more convincing.
However, the ministers each had their own channels for obtaining intelligence, and they all learned that Commander Guan had indeed died on the battlefield.
The King of Yingshui Kingdom is going crazy up there, but they can't just go crazy too. After all, the Yanluo Kingdom's army is now pressing closer and closer to the capital. Originally, the Yanluo Kingdom was not supposed to be able to threaten the Yingshui Kingdom at all, but what happened?
If they could kill Guan Tongjun, who was at the third level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, why couldn't they kill the King, who was at the seventh level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm?
And now look...
It seems we're only a hair's breadth away from being completely finished.
"Your Majesty, our Shadowwater Kingdom needs reinforcements!" "Yes, Your Majesty, the Yanluo Kingdom's army is coming with overwhelming force. If this continues, our Shadowwater Kingdom may be destroyed!"
Each minister had their own agenda, but some staunch loyalists wanted to make further efforts, so they all knelt down in unison.
"Ask for help?"
Upon hearing this, the King of Yingshui slammed his fist on his throne in anger, rose up, and glared at the assembled ministers below.
"The Yanluo Kingdom is nothing but an ant, a defeated foe of my Yingshui Kingdom! If they dare to attack, aren't they just courting death?!"
"You actually want to ask for help? Have you all lost your minds?!"
After cursing several more times, the King of Yingshui finally stopped his anger at killing these loyal ministers on the spot.
Even at this point, he still retained a sliver of rationality.
The scout who brought the news is insignificant; if he dies, so be it. It can be seen as a way of venting anger. But a subject cannot say that his death is insignificant. After all, people's hearts are unsettled now. Only by quickly suppressing the arrogance of the Yanluo Kingdom's army can we ensure that everything is well.
"Fine, let the oligarch personally lead the troops to crush them!"
The ruler of Yingshui Kingdom ultimately made this decision.
As the ruler of this country, he himself has the cultivation level of the seventh level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. If he were to combine this with the blessing of the dynasty's fortune, he could even fight against those at the ninth or tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm!
With him in command and the military formation enhanced by his magic, unless a Mahayana cultivator comes, no one can defeat him!
Upon hearing that the king intended to personally lead the troops into battle, the loyal ministers managed to suppress their dissent somewhat. However, soon after, someone rushed in to report that this time it was not a spy, but the capital's garrison commander.
"Reporting to the King, the Yanluo Kingdom's army has reached within ten miles of our capital!"
The garrison commander, his face deathly pale, rushed into the main hall.
Upon hearing this, the hall trembled! The king took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his inner turmoil, and asked in a deep voice, "Continue."
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are a total of 40,000 troops, personally led by King Mo Qian of Yanluo Kingdom. Moreover... it seems that all the soldiers of Yanluo Kingdom's army are equipped with... uniform yellow-grade armor and weapons!"
As the garrison commander spoke, he began to tremble, for he knew the fate of the first two scouts.
He died because he "lied".
But he was certain that it wasn't fake.
The scout reported it once, but the guard himself didn't believe it. Then, with his Nascent Soul stage cultivation, he personally rode at full speed to the front, and then he was shocked.
in fact.
The garrison commander knew he was destined to die, for the distance wasn't far, and the blood-red smoke of the Yanluo Kingdom's army was already soaring into the sky, making his Dao power flow difficult and blocked. But the Yanluo Kingdom's army completely ignored him. They were determined to let him return to report the news.
"...Is that really the case?"
The King of Yingshui's eyes twitched twice.
He could have claimed the spies had betrayed him and lied the first two times, but now he was no longer angry. The garrison commander was so frightened that his face turned pale, and it was probably true!
That Yanluo Kingdom's war army, even the lowest-ranking soldiers are equipped with a set of yellow-grade combat gear?!
He's starting to panic.
……
Mo Qian looked at the capital of Yingshui Kingdom before him. Although his expression was calm, he could not suppress his excitement. Since being decimated by Yingshui Kingdom three hundred years ago, Yanluo Kingdom had become so weak that no one wanted to fight it.
He has always held this grudge.
In less than two months, Yanluo Kingdom had fully armed this elite fighting force!
Thanks to the new ruler Qin Yiyao, he, the Marquis of Yanluo, finally had the opportunity to avenge the grudge from years ago.
This annexation of Yingshui Kingdom was naturally ordered by Qin Yiyao.
But she didn't come in person. According to her, it was just a small, insignificant place. If I still need to take action, you can all just kill yourselves. She said it with great certainty.
That's indeed the case.
The 10,000 vanguard troops swept through the city like a whirlwind, and the two main armies that arrived from the front and rear were utterly annihilated!
Although Mo Qian knew that Yanluo Kingdom had changed dramatically in less than two months, this victory still left him speechless.
It cannot be said that Yingshui Kingdom underestimated its enemy. In order to deal with a mere 10,000 vanguard troops, it actually sent out 250,000 elite troops. However, this could not change the outcome. The military formation techniques that King Qin Yiyao taught them were so powerful that they were unimaginable!
This allows the powerful forwards in their combined form to overcome adversity and tribulation!
Now, what stands in the way of Yanluo's army is the capital of Yingshui Kingdom.
Outside the capital city of Yingshui, the King of Yingshui led his imperial guards, facing off against the Yanluo army.
"..."
In the midst of the army, the King of Shadowwater was drenched in sweat. His generals and the cultivators watching the decisive battle remained silent.
Because what the spies said was true.
