”General, what do you think? I believe that Che Aijun at this moment is very reliable, we can encourage him to surrender,” Xu Kuan expressed his opinion.

Qin Tian nodded, ”At this time, his surrender would naturally be the best option, boosting morale while diminishing that of King Wu. However, leading tens of thousands to surrender feels like a missed opportunity... I feel there’s more we can do.”

Qin Tian pondered, took out the map of West State, and analyzed it carefully.

He called Zhou Yang and others to join, everyone gathered to discuss strategies.

”Alright, there’s no time to delay, let’s settle this way. Let Che Aijun lead his fifty thousand troops, join us in a frontal assault on Black Water City, reclaiming the advantage.”

After nearly an hour of discussion, the suggestions from Zhou Yang and Zuo Yuanhao were ultimately adopted by Qin Tian—

Let Che Aijun and Xu Kuan cooperate from inside and outside, surround and attack Black Water City, and recapture the city previously seized by King Wu, thereby regaining control over the West State battlefield.

Implementing it was quite simple; Xu Kuan, Zuo Yuanhao, and Zhao Lanjin would manage the task, set to execute in five days.

By the fifth night, good news frequently arrived from the front lines through Xiaozhuang’s scouts.

The king Wu’s hundred thousand garrison at Black Water City, faced with the joint assault of Che Aijun’s fifty thousand and Xu Kuan’s hundred thousand troops, fell apart, abandoning Black Water City, with over thirty thousand retreating back to the West.

In this battle, Qin Tian won decisively, regaining control of Black Water City.

Besides, with Che Aijun defecting with fifty thousand troops, Qin Tian’s strength further consolidated.

...

”Bastard!”

In West Capital City, the King Wu was raging furiously.

”Che Aijun, that treacherous scoundrel, dared to betray me! Courting death!”

King Wu was furious, clenching his fists, said, ”I will slaughter everyone in Lin City, make them know the consequences of betraying me!”

”Your Highness, slaughtering civilians will lose the hearts of the people, one must not act recklessly.”

Mr. Wu reminded beside him, ”Now, with troubles from the Demon Clan, without progress against Qin Tian, we face a critical moment, calmness is needed.”

”Calm? Che Aijun set an example, if I don’t teach a lesson, more may betray in the future!”

King Wu waved his hand and said, ”Nothing more on this matter, my decision is made. Wang Long!”

”I am here!”

A general rushed in.

”Lead fifty thousand troops, slaughter everyone in Lin City!”

”Your Highness... this...”

”Dare you disobey my orders?”

”Yes!”

Mr. Wu watched the furious King Wu, realizing he sunk deeper into anger, yet continued no further persuasion.

Knowing it would be futile, since coming to West State, King Wu had drastically changed.

Even Mr. Wu regretted choosing King Wu as his master, was it right or wrong?

...

”Boss, Feier is here!”

Less than five days after the Black Water City war ended, Xiaozhuang brought explosive news to Qin Tian.

”Third, are you kidding?” Qin Tian laughed, naturally disbelieving.

”Haha, boss, you’d hardly believe, but it’s true...”

Xiaozhuang gestured invitingly, opened the door, saying ”Ta-da-da-da...”

The door opened, revealing Liu Feier at the doorway!

Qin Tian was stunned, ”Feier, is it really you?! How... how did you come from... the Demon Clan to here?”

Beside Liu Feier stood Fei Hong.

”Tian Brother, I came secretly from the Demon Clan, urgently needing to talk to you.”

Liu Feier gazed at Qin Tian, walked inside while Fei Hong waited outside the room.

”I heard issues arose with the Demon Clan, did you come for them?” Qin Tian had earlier got Demon Clan’s news from Xiaozhuang.

Liu Feier nodded, ”Tian Brother, our Demon Clan’s situation is messy. Someone threatens my father’s position, and the situation is critically urgent, so I had to seek your help.”

”What’s the situation?”

”My father’s own brother Yin Yue Demon Venerate, who commands significant forces, now opposes my father and brother. His influence is substantial within the Demon Clan dynasty, hindering my father’s strategies at every turn.”

”I earlier persuaded my father to abandon alliance with King Wu of West State, my father actually agreed. But due to Yin Yue Demon Venerate’s objection, it couldn’t be done.”

”Now things worsen, within the Demon Capital’s twenty thousand troops, my father only has five thousand. He dared not act rashly, fearing Yin Yue Demon Venerate might rebel, which we couldn’t counter.”

Qin Tian, listening to Liu Feier, nodded, ”Indeed, I’ve heard Yin Yue Demon Venerate being extremely domineering. Didn’t expect him this tyrannical.”

”Yet, currently I’m confronted with King Wu, how could I assist you?” Qin Tian asked.

”Yin Yue Demon Venerate persistently advocates alliance with King Wu, if he gains control over the Demon Clan, Tian Brother, you’d suffer. I’m thinking, maybe you could help us resist Yin Yue Demon Venerate, then jointly fight King Wu.”

Liu Feier gazed at Qin Tian, ”Tian Brother, I understand it’s difficult, but... I just have no other way, seeking your support...”

”Feier, don’t worry, I’ll not stand by indifferently.”

Qin Tian let Liu Feier sit down, himself sitting beside her, ”The matter arose suddenly, I need to consult with my brothers, wait for a day, alright?”

Liu Feier knew it concerned the survival for West State and Demon Clan, nodded.

At noon, Qin Tian invited Fan Bing and Du Qiuniang to accompany Liu Feier for lunch, midway through the meal, suddenly Xiaozhuang rushed in without even knocking.

”What’s wrong?”

Usually, Qin Tian knew trouble arrived in such cases.

”Boss, Yin Yue Demon Venerate has betrayed!”

Xiaozhuang stared at Qin Tian, looking very serious.

”What...” Liu Feier hearing it was heartbroken, instantly tearfully crying, ”Brother Xiaozhuang, my father and brother... what happened to them?”

”Currently unknown, Yin Yue Demon Venerate sealed Demon Capital’s avenues, likely blocking reinforcements from other Demon Emperor’s subordinates.”

”I received first-hand news, presently Demon Capital is likely embroiled in fighting, Yin Yue Demon Venerate attacking the Imperial Palace.”

Xiaozhuang shook his head, sighed, ”Maybe, by now, the outcome is decided.”
