Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5388 - 5388: Change

As the top scout serving the Imperial Emperor, withholding information was a grave offense.

But the other party was a tier 6 Emperor!

Xia Mang Yunzhan’s eyes were fierce as he continued to inquire, “Speak, how is the current situation!”

“Reporting to the Grand Marshal, the MO Luo country’s large army that attacked the third city suffered significant losses. Upon learning of our army’s mobilization, they retreated to the Shura Plain. Currently, only some tribal elites are present on the front lines, hardly worth mentioning,” the shadow expert reported truthfully.

A thought flashed in Xia Mang Yunzhan’s mind, and he paused.

Updɑted on BοX?0VEL.cοm

The elites had withdrawn to the Shura Plain, leaving only some tribal strongmen to resist.

Was this a strategy to lure the enemy deeper?

But this tactic seemed too basic.

Late at night.

The northern city tower was as bright as daylight.

The first day was spent analyzing the situation and constructing teleportation arrays with the second and first major cities for emergencies.

It wasn’t until the seventh day that the city showed signs of activity.

On this day, Jian Wushuang led people on patrol in the east city.

Usually, he was accompanied by a group of Emperor guards, and the recruited army was in the military camp.

Casually wandering around, Jian Wushuang was about to descend from the city wall when he noticed a distant sky gradually adorned with colors. Soon after, numerous meteors fell violently, turning into countless streaks of light and massive craters.

“Enemy attack! ”

The horn sounded in the next moment!

However, Jian Wushuang remained calm. The direction was the north city wall, not far away. If there were any movements, Xia Mang Yunzhan would undoubtedly notice. Despite no one leaving the city at the moment.

But everything around, every move, was likely within Xia Mang Yunzhan’s control; otherwise, he wouldn’t hold the position of commander.

“Let’s go back to the central military hall,” Jian Wushuang immediately led his people down from the city wall.

When they had just arrived at the central military hall, a considerable number of people had already gathered.

Several generals inside the hall were loudly discussing the matter of leaving the city.

“Commander, the MO Luo’s army left in this place is not much. Now is an excellent opportunity! ‘

“Hmph, can’t the commotion outside the city just now explain it? It’s clearly their scheme. If we rashly leave the city, we will definitely be ambushed!”

Xuanyuan Dapan and other nobles had no particular opinion on this; it was best not to leave the city, so they remained neutral, just watching the show.

Sitting in the main seat, Xia Mang Yunzhan held the token in his hand, deep in thought.

He had just received intelligence that the disturbance outside was related to the leader of the Tianqi tribe. Things were not so simple.

The argument above was intense, but Jian Wushuang could see through it.

Although not powerful, he was insightful.

The internal connection between MO Luo and the Kui Organization had developed rapidly in recent years, not solely due to the efforts of the Grand Elder. The Kui Organization’s support was also significant.

Now that the old ancestor of Great Xia had been replaced, although the internal cleansing and replacement had not yet occurred, if both sides’ high-ranking members were connected to the Kui Organization, this war might end in frustration.

Fortunately, the old man with the sheep’s horns had disguised himself as a member of Kui and infiltrated Great Xia.

He had mentioned before that the reason for following the army into battle this time was for the Candle Dragon Arm.

Great Xia was definitely in favor of starting the war.

MO Luo went so far as to directly pull out two major cities.

The current situation could not be resolved by just defeating the tribal army.

If MO Luo thought that the Great Xia, after devouring the massive army of the frontline tribes, would withdraw, then their expectations were too simplistic.

After much deliberation from above, the decision was made to leave the city today!

They proceeded to inspect the situation outside the city.

The vanguard scouts were the elite forces of Great Xia.

A full 10,000 soldiers, accompanied by 100 Emperors, led by a tier 4 Emperor.

However, these forces were not sufficient.

The core forces were mobilized, and an additional three thousand and the troops of the Five Army Camps had to act.

“Five Army Camps, mobilize four hundred thousand troops!’

As the strongest among the 3,000 Camps, Xuanyuan Dapan’s voice was deep, “The 3,000 Camps can contribute 200,000!”

Three tier 4 Emperors, along with a total of 600 thousand troops.

The Emperors numbered in the hundreds.

“This time, who is willing to personally lead the troops?” Xia Mang Yunzhan surveyed the crowd below.

Without a tier 5 Emperor to lead, these people were like loose sand, not even comparable to those tribes.

“l am willing to take the blame and lead the way to investigate the anomalies!” spoke General Gutong, who had regained his strength.

Others were somewhat surprised; sending General Gutong, one of the three major generals of the empire, for a mere reconnaissance mission seemed like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Xia Mang Yunzhan didn’t have time to dissuade them and could only nod in agreement.

Then everyone withdrew.

Jian Wushuang followed Xuanyuan Dapan back to the Eastern City Military Camp.

“Grandfather, this time I am willing to lead a group outside the city!” Jian Wushuang immediately bowed and offered his service.

Xuanyuan Dapan was somewhat surprised. After advising for a while and seeing that Xiamang Guanyu had made up his mind, he didn’t stop him.

“General Xing Daorong, take orders. This time, go out of the city to investigate the anomaly…”

Soon, the large army was assembled and majestically marched out of the City of Suppression from the northern gate.

The vanguard of ten thousand scouts had already gone out. Now, the

600,000-strong army formed a formation, slowly marching towards the location of the disturbance.

General Gutong personally led the troops.

Due to Xiamang Guanyu’s special status, he followed Gutong to command the central army.

His private army of ten thousand didn’t attract much attention. If they formed a battle array, apart from Gutong, he would be the second strongest in this expedition.

Report!

“General, it has been discovered that there are 100-yard-sized gray-white stone spheres in those deep pits!’

Gutongs expression remained unchanged, casually saying, “Continue investigating! ‘

The large army approached slowly.

A billion miles away from the disturbance, a group of strong individuals from the Tianqi tribe hid in the void.

In the swamp, countless strange beasts lurked.

“Three leaders, will these strange beasts really charge over?” The strong individual in the void asked with some uncertainty.

The three leaders were confident. With a sinister smile, one of them said, “Don’t underestimate those magic stones; they are the favorite of these void crawlers.’

“Hehe!”

In the swamp, triangular void crawlers emitted an anxious sound, exceptionally terrifying.

These crawlers had no aura and could only be discovered by the naked eye.

At a glance, they were endless, all at the level of Dao Lords, with some even at the level of Emperors.

“Hmm! Someone has started the godstone!” The hidden strong individuals from the Tianqi tribe exclaimed in joy. “Look, void fissures!”

In the murky swamp, the void crawlers, hidden from sight, could actually ripple their bodies to tear through space. They exuded a strong aura of the void – the very essence of the void.

On the other side, the army surrounded hundreds of deep pits, dispatching people to investigate.

Jian Wushuang stood at the edge of one of the pits, gazing at the stones within, curiously asking, “Old Bai, do you recognize these things?”

“l don’t. I’ve never seen them before!” Bai Junwang shook his head.

Having lived from ancient times to the present, he had witnessed all sorts of scenes, but these stones were truly unfamiliar.

Even Bai Junwang didn’t recognize them, and Jian Wushuang felt a subtle sense of unease.

The Earth Realm’s heritage resembled the ancient era the most, especially those tribes with long- standing legacies..
