Chapter 409: Because He Promised Me

After Xiao Mo personally led his great army to war against Qi Kingdom, in the blink of an eye, two years had passed.

During these two years, even with Myriad Islands Nationʼs assistance to Qi Kingdom, Qin Kingdomʼs great army had successively conquered city after city.

Xiao Mo had now approached Qi Kingdomʼs Canghai Pass.

Reaching Canghai Pass meant that the great war within Qi Kingdomʼs borders had entered its final stage.

Once Canghai Pass was breached, the gateway to Qi Kingdomʼs imperial capital would be completely exposed before Qin Kingdomʼs great army, like a woman untying the sash at her waist.

When that time came, even if Qi Kingdomʼs capital was not destroyed, it would already exist in name only.

The King of Qi knew the severity of the situation, so he personally led the campaign, bringing the allied forces of Qi Kingdom and Myriad Islands Nation, planning to fight Xiao Mo to the death.

As for within Zhao Kingdomʼs borders, things were not going as smoothly as for Xiao Mo.

Originally at the start, although Li Jing and the others were not attacking cities so smoothly, they still held a certain advantage but the demon armies of these two nations, Flowing Fire Kingdom and Valley Kingdom, were truly too difficult to deal with.

Moreover, later on, the various nations of the Demon Realm consulted together and each nation dispatched some more troops to support Zhao Kingdom.
In the view of these demon kings, if Zhao Kingdom could defend the cities, or even push back the battle lines and even occupy Qin Kingdomʼs territory, then they would take advantage and get a share of the spoils.

If Zhao Kingdom could not hold, that was fine too. They would just directly retreat.

Even if some demon cultivators died in this process, so what?

For them, it was not that painful but to say that the nations of the Demon Realm would dispatch even more great armies, that was also impossible.

First, quite a few demon kings originally felt that the affairs of the Ten Thousand Laws Realm had nothing to do with them.

For their Demon Realm to sacrifice demon clan cultivators to protect human nation territories, this was simply too absurd!

If not for that person actively lobbying, they would not have dispatched troops at all!

Second, if the number of demon cultivators entering the Ten Thousand Laws Realm was too many, those mountain sects of the Ten Thousand Laws Realm would not continue to sit by and ignore it.

At that point, it would no longer be a great war between dynasties, but could very likely trigger comprehensive warfare between the two realms.

So currently, the demon cultivators supporting Zhao Kingdom were already numerous enough but it was precisely relying on these demon cultivators that the King of Zhao not only withstood the attacks of Li Jing, Fang Weiming and others, but even truly gained considerable advantage. However, after the King of Zhao stabilized Zhao Kingdomʼs situation, he was not anxious to push back.

In the King of Zhaoʼs view, the most urgent matter now was to support Qi Kingdom.

Otherwise, once Qi Kingdom fell, Zhao Kingdom would be left to stand alone.

Zhao Kingdomʼs human-demon allied forces found an opportunity, broke through the defensive line arranged by Fang Weiming, crossed through Jin Kingdomʼs territory, then made a large detour and joined forces with Qi Kingdomʼs great army.

In addition, after deep consideration, the sovereign of Myriad Islands Nation decided to raise the stakes and bet on Qi Kingdom again!

After all, too many cultivators from Myriad Islands Nation had died. He truly could not reconcile himself to just withdrawing like this!

Thus, the sovereign of Myriad Islands Nation dispatched another three hundred thousand troops to rush to Qi Kingdom.

The minimum cultivation realm of these three hundred thousand troops was also at the Cave Mansion realm.

The sovereign of Myriad Islands Nation could be said to have invested heavily.

The arrival of the human-demon reinforcements and Myriad Islands Nation reinforcements made Qi Kingdomʼs great army breathe a deep sigh of relief, their morale greatly boosted.

The King of Qi was also overjoyed, feeling he could definitely block Xiao Mo and even turn from defense to offense.

Inside Qin Kingdomʼs great army camp tent.

Xiao Mo and the various generals looked at the enormous sand table placed in the center. Each personʼs expression was extremely grave.

”General, right now Qi Kingdom, Zhao Kingdom, demon clan great army, and Myriad Islands Nation great army, the four combined already number four million! Moreover, their cultivation realms are at least at Foundation Building.

Although our sideʼs troop numbers are also at four million, approximately thirty percent are Qi Refinement stage martial cultivators. In terms of cultivation realms, we are at a disadvantage.”

The accompanying Xu Yao said with furrowed brows.

”General, should we transfer some troops over?” Chen Wang asked.

”No.”

After pondering for a long time, Xiao Mo shook his head.

”Although I previously killed a batch of feudal lords and intimidated them, there are also quite a few people who merely concealed their intentions and are waiting for an opportunity.

Moreover, those aristocratic families are also hard to say.

Right now, various places in Qin Kingdom still need military forces stationed to make those feudal lords and nobility behave.

As for Zhao Kingdomʼs side, if Li Jing transfers troops over, I also fear problems will arise with the defensive line.”

As his words fell, Xiao Mo looked at the boundless plains outside Canghai Pass on the sand table:

”This Canghai Pass is very large. The plains outside are sufficient to accommodate ten million people in slaughter and magical combat. However, this Canghai Pass is also very small, not sufficient for four million people to defend the city.

Qi Kingdom also knows that the more they drag this out, the more unfavorable it is for them. After all, Myriad Islands Nation and the demon cultivators from the Demon Realm donʼt have that much patience.

Not to mention that Liu Xing and the others are still attacking cities on the two flanks, cutting flesh with a slow knife.

Therefore, they will definitely fight us to the death and we cannot retreat.

If we retreat, the other two routes are also finished.

Since this is the case!

Then let us charge and fight a battle!”

Speaking thus, Xiao Mo raised his head and said with a smile, ”Whether this Ten Thousand Laws Realm moves toward unification or continues to be divided will depend on this time.”

Hearing Xiao Moʼs words, everyoneʼs minds became focused.

Even though they had been generals for many years, they could not help but become nervous now.

If in the past, battles large and small were merely the process of unifying the Ten Thousand Laws Realm then this final Battle of Canghai Pass would place a period at the end for the entire Ten Thousand Laws Realm.

”All of you go prepare.” Xiao Mo said to everyone with a smile, ”Have the soldiers rest and build up their energy, and spread the news of the great battle.”

”Yes, General!” The various generals bowed and withdrew from the camp tent.

After everyone left, Xiao Mo picked up his brush and wrote a letter. In the letter, he described the current war situation, indicating that he would engage in a decisive battle with Qi Kingdom in the near future.

In addition, Xiao Mo wrote another letter with his bloody fingerprint on it.

The first letter was sent by flying sword transmission to the palace.

The second letter, together with the Northern Pacification Princeʼs seal, was sent to Qiu Wen.

After arranging everything, Xiao Mo walked out of the camp tent and looked into the distance, toward the direction of Qin Kingdomʼs imperial capital.

After a long while, Xiao Mo withdrew his gaze.

He took out a small clay figurine from his bosom.

The clay figurine was very ugly, but in Xiao Moʼs eyes, it was very beautiful.

Xiao Mo extended his finger and scraped the clay figurineʼs nose, smiling faintly.

Carefully putting the clay figurine back in his bosom, Xiao Mo took a deep breath and walked straight ahead.

Three days later, Qin Siyao received Xiao Moʼs flying sword message and learned that Xiao Mo would soon engage in a decisive battle with Qi Kingdom outside Canghai Pass.

Looking at the envelope, Qin Siyao remained silent for a long time.

”Your Majesty, rest assured. The young master will definitely return.” Huasheng on the side, seeing Qin Siyaoʼs worried appearance, spoke to comfort her.

”I know...”

Qin Siyao extended her hand and gently stroked each stroke of his handwriting on the envelope.

”I know he will definitely return.”

”Because he promised me.”
