Section 122

It seems the Nichao Empire is about to start a major war!

It wasn't just Chen Boyu; the other Lingxiao Pavilion Martial Emperors were also more or less injured.

The Nichao Empire went all out; the Realm of the general leading the troops on each route is two to three minor Realms higher than the corresponding Flying General.

The Great Xia Empire has its Lingxiao Pavilion, and the Nichao Empire has its Jiuteng Tower.

The Jiuteng Tower has twenty-seven Martial Emperors, divided into the Upper Nine Emperors, Middle Nine Emperors, and Lower Nine Emperors.

Most of the Lower Nine Emperors are Huang Realm initial stage Martial Emperors, and most of those who launched this war are these people.

The Middle Nine Emperors, on the other hand, are Martial Emperors from the Huang Realm high stage to the Xuan Realm. They are the main core force of the Nichao Empire and do not easily make a move in general battles.

As for the Upper Nine Emperors, they are all experts above the Earth Rank.

Like the Lingxiao Pavilion Dragon Generals, they hold a transcendental status and guard the most crucial passes and cities of the Empire.

In this major war, the Jiuteng Tower of the Nichao Empire dispatched six of the Lower Nine Emperors, and even sent four of the Middle Nine Emperors to lead divisions.

Xia Feng frowned. Hearing this battle report made him very annoyed.

Fortunately, Heavenly Talisman Saintess Li Shiqing placed her tender little hand on Xia Feng's large hand.

Turning his head to look at those beautiful black eyes, he slowly calmed down as well.

Those fifty thousand elite soldiers cannot be withdrawn; the battles in various places are very intense right now.

Three of the Twelve Flying Generals were killed by Summer Bright.

After the territories guarded by those three became leaderless, Summer Bright could only have the military Martial Emperors take over.

However, these military Martial Emperors are unfamiliar with the area and came this time bringing their own private armies. Due to some resource distribution or other matters, conflicts between the two armies often erupted.

This also led to a feeling of stagnation and clumsiness in the commands they relayed downwards.

Coupled with the fact that the strength of military Martial Emperors is generally weaker than Lingxiao Pavilion Martial Emperors of the same Realm, they naturally couldn't gain an advantage when facing Jiuteng Tower Martial Emperors, who share the same name as Lingxiao Pavilion.

Although the battles are intense, important cities and resources have not yet been lost.

The Nine Great Martial Emperors are still holding on. Having served as border-guarding Generals for so many years, they are naturally not pushovers.

They have also fought battles where the enemy was strong and they were weak.

Except for being caught off guard during the initial enemy surprise attack, they quickly organized their forces afterward, held their ground in the cities, and launched a resilient offense and defense.

Now, everyone urgently needs a victory to boost morale.

And the Heavenly Martial Great General, who was shouting the loudest outside, became the target that Xia Feng had to find every possible way to kill.

"That means, the only forces that can be mobilized now are General Gu Sha's thirty thousand soldiers."

Xia Feng sighed.

Calculating the time, General Gu Sha should arrive tonight.

Thirty thousand against one hundred thousand, this kind of troop disparity...

Looking at Chen Boyu's remaining thousand battered soldiers, Xia Feng felt truly numb at this moment.

Furthermore, what Chen Boyu said next put even more immense pressure on Xia Feng.

"Imperial Son, Cai Feng has sent word that he will bring eighty thousand elite soldiers to forcefully attack Hong City tomorrow."

"Do you think we should abandon this city and retreat first? After retreating to Ming City, we can call for more reinforcements..."

"We cannot retreat!"

Xia Feng roared, his voice decisive and firm!

"The Nichao Empire is launching a fierce attack against us, precisely to strike at the dignity and prestige of our Great Xia Empire!"

Xia Feng gritted his teeth, glaring angrily in the direction of Ling City.

"The moment I came from the Imperial Capital, the nature of this war changed."

"If the Emperor Child arrives at the front line, yet is still forced to retreat step by step by the enemy, how can we explain it to the people of the Great Xia Empire?"

"Other countries will also look down on us!"

Xia Feng knew that someone in the Imperial Capital had leaked the news.

The Nichao Empire's response to the Emperor Child's participation in the war was also very simple: rapid attack, fierce attack!

Although the Great Xia Empire is vast, it is just one of countless Empires within the Limitless God Domain.

The enmity between the Nichao Empire and the Great Xia Empire has also lasted for over a hundred thousand years.

But besides these two Empires, there are over a dozen other Empires in the Northern Region of the Limitless God Domain.

Vultures like to eat carrion the most.

And who is the carrion...

Xia Feng took a deep breath. He absolutely could not lose this confrontation with the Heavenly Martial Great General!

"Arrange personnel for duty. Hong City must be defended to the death. Everything else can be discussed after General General Gu Sha arrives."

Xia Feng quickly issued the order. Chen Boyu was not someone who didn't understand right from wrong; he sighed softly, then turned and waved to his soldiers.

"Arrange sentries, one every ten li, with beacon fires as the signal."

Chen Boyu's remaining soldiers were all dejected, picking up their swords and spears with low morale to carry out the task.

And this Tenth Flying General was also filled with grief and indignation. His troops were almost completely wiped out by Cai Feng, and he himself was nearly killed by Cai Feng.

With the sentries arranged, Xia Feng led the Ten Great Saintesses into Hong City's City Lord's Mansion, temporarily settling on a place to stay.

They're attacking Hong City tomorrow...

Xia Feng stood by the City Lord's Mansion window, his gaze deep.

He must find a way to win this small-scale war.

Otherwise, if the news of the Emperor Child's great defeat spreads, the other nine routes probably won't last much longer.

The sun set in the west.

General General Gu Sha, leading the thirty thousand Gu Sha Army, finally arrived at Hong City.

Xia Feng went out to look at the thirty thousand high-spirited Gu Sha Army, finally feeling some relief in his heart.

General Gu Sha and Chen Boyu exchanged information on the current battle situation. Xia Feng sat in the main seat, and the Ten Girls also sat down at the large round table.

"Husband, thirty thousand against eighty thousand, how should we fight this battle?" His main wife, Sun Yazhu, looked at Xia Feng with a pair of clear, autumn-like eyes, her worry unconcealed.

"It's alright, I have a plan."

Xia Feng, who had been thinking for a day, no longer felt the anxiety he had before.

After seeing the thirty thousand Gu Sha Army, he already had an idea in his mind.

After a little less than an hour, General Gu Sha, who had received the military report, also frowned deeply.

He was also an old general who had led troops in hundreds of battles, but facing such a tricky situation, he couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.

Although a Martial Emperor's individual strength is powerful, they can only flee in the face of the military formation deployed by tens of thousands of soldiers.

One Martial Emperor can at most withstand the combined force of ten thousand soldiers; any more than that and they can't hold on.

Although they control the power of heaven and earth, the military formation deployed by soldiers working together can also greatly mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

And this spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered from ten thousand people will not be at a disadvantage when resisting the power of the Great Dao of heaven and earth controlled by a Martial Emperor!

They can even kill them in return.

A hundred or a thousand Martial Kings might not be a match for a Martial Emperor, but ten thousand Martial Kings are different.

The principle of 'more ants can bite an elephant to death' applies here.

Chapter 151: Entering Dreams with Thirty Thousand Soldiers for Training

What's more, the enemy's Martial Emperors won't just watch you charge through the military formation.

Once you are held back by the military formation, coupled with the enemy Martial Emperor's attack, death is the only outcome for those of the same Realm.

That's why the Tenth Flying General Chen Boyu was defeated so badly.

"General Gu Sha, arrange for the thirty thousand soldiers to go to sleep at midnight tonight. All matters regarding the sentries will be handed over to Chen Boyu."

Xia Feng suddenly turned his head and said to General General Gu Sha.

General Gu Sha was startled for a moment and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Thirty thousand people going to sleep at the same time, and it must be at midnight?"

"Yes. Don't ask about the specifics, just follow my arrangements."

Xia Feng nodded, not explaining too much to General Gu Sha.

He was the Emperor Child, so General Gu Sha didn't dare to ask further, only assuming Xia Feng had his own considerations, and thus nodded in agreement.

After General Gu Sha left the military tent, Xia Feng raised his head and looked at Chen Boyu.

Chen Boyu felt the gaze and looked up at Xia Feng, feeling a bit unnatural.

"You're so disheartened by just one defeat? How did you become a Lingxiao Pavilion Martial Emperor with such a psychological quality?"

Xia Feng spoke unceremoniously. He looked into Chen Boyu's eyes and said expressionlessly.
