”Complete defeat? Hahaha, Mr. Wu, even now, you’re trying to alarm us with frightening words? It was because I trusted you that led to this complete defeat!”

Originally, King Wu had some grievances with Mr. Wu’s strategies and plans before, but he didn’t intend to voice them. However, Mr. Wu’s comment about ”complete defeat” seemed to have touched a nerve in King Wu’s heart, causing him to erupt instantly.

The sudden outburst brought silence to the meeting room.

The attending generals were stunned; they never imagined that one day King Wu would shout at his ”most reliable friend” in such a tone.

Mr. Wu was taken aback too.

Unexpected, truly unexpected.

After a few seconds of shock, Mr. Wu laughed.

King Wu came back to his senses and turned to say, ”Mr. Wu, don’t mind my outburst just now. Regarding the dispatch to provide aid, in my view, it is imperative. You don’t need to worry about this matter. Arrange the rear for me, and I will make the decisions on the frontline.”

Saying this, King Wu gestured for the generals to sit and said, ”Come, let’s discuss how to dispatch troops to intercept Xu Kun and Che Aijun!”

Mr. Wu, however, cupped his hands and said, ”Your Highness, there are many affairs at the rear. Since you wish to discuss the frontline matters, I shall take my leave first.”

Having said that, Mr. Wu turned and left before King Wu could react.

As he left, a desperate smile appeared on his face.

Bam!

King Wu watched Mr. Wu’s departing figure, slammed his palm hard on the table, gritting his teeth, ”Hmph, how dare you show off in front of me! The prestige I gave you can also be taken back!”

”Master, this Mr. Wu, I think he’s just a mediocre talent, and yet he acts superior as if he’s some great figure.”

”Exactly, he’s always had a bad temper. The fact that you tolerate him, Master, is already the greatest kindness you can show him. To so heavily rely on him, yet he knows no gratitude, he’s way too arrogant!”

”If it weren’t for him, Master might not have... might not have needed to raise affairs in West State now. Without him, you might already be the Emperor!”

The generals took the opportunity to mock Mr. Wu, who was usually not well-liked, using every bit of sarcasm they could muster.

King Wu, impatiently, said, ”Stop discussing him, I have my own thoughts about his matters, let’s focus on discussing the dispatch for relief!”

...

When the two forces on the eastern border of West State began to have some clashes, and Dashi City fell into a stalemate, a small unit was gradually approaching from the north of Dashi City to Yellow Stone City.

Xilin City is the throat guarding the West Capital, whereas Yellow Stone City is the frontline outpost for Xilin City in the east.

If Yellow Stone City falls, it is only fifty kilometers from Xilin City, instantly posing a significant threat to Xilin City.

At this time, Yellow Stone City was garrisoned by only ten thousand troops.

While in Xilin City behind Yellow Stone City, the original garrison was three hundred thousand, after sending troops to support the Demon Clan and sending troops to support other cities like Dashi City attacked by Xu Kuan and others.

Actually, Xilin City’s forces at this time were only about sixty thousand.

Compared to before, this was typically an empty force.

Boom!

Rumble!

Rumble, rumble!

In the quiet night, the explosions of True Qi over Yellow Stone City were incessant, beams of True Qi light lit up the entire small city brightly.

It was already one o’clock in the morning, apart from some guards, most of the garrison in Yellow Stone City had already fallen into slumber.

And at this moment, from five miles away behind a small hill of Yellow Stone City, four True Qi Cannons fired like a thousand arrows at Yellow Stone City, unleashing a bombardment. In less than an hour, the entire city was in chaos.

The guards of Yellow Stone City panicked; they didn’t even know where the powerful True Qi Bombs were being fired from, or what these things were, only that being hit by them, or being close to their explosion, would immediately severely injure them with the force of the True Qi shockwave!

Watching the city ablaze, Lin Yu said to Xu Kun beside him, ”General Ye Kun, I think it’s about time. Can your people manage a thousand?”

Ye Kun replied, ”Look at those in the city, they’re all scared out of their wits and just thinking of escaping. Our thousand men, with great momentum, will surely scare them into a panic. Watch me!”

With that, Ye Kun gave the order, leading his carefully selected elite force of one thousand directly towards Yellow Stone City.

As they approached Yellow Stone City, they suddenly shouted with alarming voices, unfurling their flags under the waving banners, looking quite impressive.

They were only a thousand, but their chants claimed that Qin Tian’s fifty thousand troops were advancing, leaving the already frightened Yellow Stone City garrison without the energy to discern reality from fiction. Upon hearing the news, their first reaction was to flee.

Especially when they saw the ”Qin” character on the enemy flags, knowing Qin Tian had come, they were even more terrified. In less than two hours, besides a few dozen people resisting on the city gate tower who were killed, everyone in the city had scattered and fled.

Ye Kun effortlessly captured Yellow Stone City.

When Ye Kun sent the signal, Lin Yu also promptly fired a yellow flare, then led his True Qi Artillery Troop towards Yellow Stone City.

Lin Yu sent this signal to Xu Kuan and Che Aijun.

The scouts sent by Xu Kuan and Che Aijun saw the signal and reported it back immediately. Upon learning that Lin Yu and Ye Kun had succeeded, they broke camp overnight and bypassed Dashi City to march quickly towards Xilin City.

...

”What? How is this possible!?”

The garrison commander of Xilin City, named Lu Yuanshan, was King Wu’s cousin. Woken up in his sleep, upon hearing that Yellow Stone City was quickly taken by Qin Tian, he jumped straight out of bed.

”This is impossible... How could this be... Let me see...”

Lu Yuanshan took out a map, studied it carefully, and said, ”Where did the enemy come from, where did they come from? With the front lines in battle, did the enemy come over Xilin Mountain?”

”General, it seems now that the enemy could only have come over Xilin Mountain. However, we don’t know why they have so many, and we didn’t have any prior intelligence on them.”

Lu Yuanshan’s strategist Wang Chen said curiously, ”When Yellow Stone City was attacked, according to the soldiers who fled the city, they were first bombarded by a powerful True Qi. That True Qi, I’m afraid, exceeds the Great Immortal Realm... I didn’t see the situation myself, but according to them, I’m afraid even ten Great Immortal Realm experts couldn’t unleash such a strong, high-frequency True Qi in a short time.”

”Oh?”

Lu Yuanshan was stunned, his cheek twitching, ”It seems Qin Tian had experts assisting him. We must report this to King Wu immediately!”
