403: Chapter 403 Eastern Battlefield, Imperial Command

"Sigh, a sect whose depths cannot be probed is the most terrifying!" Yun Xiao frowned.

"Mm!" Hun Tiandi nodded slightly. Just then, Li Jingzhong walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty, General Ye Wudi has sent a messenger with a letter; he is waiting outside the hall!" Li Jingzhong said.

"Let him in!" Hun Tiandi's brow furrowed.

Yun Xiao also stood to the side, her eyes flickering with doubt.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, Empress. Greetings, General!" the officer immediately said.

"What happened with General Ye Wudi? Why did he have you rush back?" Hun Tiandi inquired.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, while we were suppressing the sects, we captured someone who claimed to be from the Mulan Emperor's forces. The Marshal interrogated him and found the situation to be serious, so he sent me back in haste!"

The officer said, taking a memorial from his storage ring.

"The Mulan Emperor was originally from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. Later, he gave up accumulating hidden merit to pursue worldly fame, left the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, and founded the Mu Lan Empire!"

"Because the Mulan Emperor was originally from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, they dispatched the Heavenly Snake Sect to assist him, while the Heavenly Serpent Mansion trains the experts!"

The officer spoke truthfully.

"Is there anything else?" Hun Tiandi frowned.

"That is all!" the officer said.

"Return to General Ye Wudi and tell him I understand. This information is very useful!" Hun Tiandi said.

"Yes!" The officer then immediately withdrew.

"Heavenly Serpent Mansion?" Yun Xiao said.

"Experts from the Heavenly Snake Sect?" Yun Xiao asked worriedly.

"It's no matter. I will handle it personally when the time comes!" Hun Tiandi said dismissively.

Yun Xiao nodded.

In the fourth month of the Imperial Plan, within the Star Palace, Hun Tiandi said calmly, "Since the matters in the Black-Corner Region have been settled, we will now dispatch troops into the Eastern Battlefield!"

"We shall then annihilate the four Great Dynasties and the one Great Empire!"

"The Mu Lan Empire seems to be going for the kill. The four surrounding Great Dynasties are retreating one after another!" Yun Xiao said.

"The Mulan Emperor no longer wishes to just train his troops. In that case, we will change our strategy, consolidate our forces, and wait for the Dazheng Dynasty's troops to enter before Yun Xiao takes overall command!"

Hun Tiandi thought for a moment and said.

"Yes!" Yun Xiao said immediately.

"Mr. Corpse Soul, General Ye Wudi, deploy your troops to the Eastern Battlefield!" Hun Tiandi said.

"Yes!" the two responded.

Within the study of the Mu Lan Empire's palace!

The Mulan Emperor was at his desk. Several subordinates stood before him, and one official spoke: "Your Majesty, the war has begun. Our army's edge is invincible, and the four Great Dynasties are retreating one after another!"

"This is normal, but I feel something is not right!" another official said.

"Our victory is coming too easily!"

"That is because a fifth power has gotten involved!" the Mulan Emperor said solemnly.

"The Dazheng Dynasty?"

"This is the latest intelligence. All the forces in the Black-Corner Region have been cleared out, and even the last city, Maple City, has fallen into their hands!"

"The spies we sent to the Dazheng Dynasty were wiped out overnight!"

"All of them? Assassinated?" an official frowned.

"Indeed. What does this represent?" the Mulan Emperor said calmly.

"It represents the Dazheng Dynasty entering the fray. As for our spies, it should be the work of the Dazheng Dynasty's Shadow Guards!" another official said.

"Correct. In nearly ten years, the Dazheng Dynasty occupied the Black-Corner Region and developed so fast—too fast, too strangely!"

"The cultivation levels of their army are not low; they are almost catching up to ours. How could ten years be enough? Unless they used endless resources and medicinal pills, it wouldn't be possible!"

The Mulan Emperor said cautiously.

"How is that possible? If so, how many herbs and pills would that require..." a high official said.

"But our people have discovered that there are indeed such forbidden areas, and the guards are extremely strict!" the Mulan Emperor said.

"Your Majesty, the Dazheng Dynasty is bound to be our great enemy. We must settle this quickly. If we give them more time, their strength will only grow!"

"True. Pass down the order: accelerate the siege and capture of territory. Control the Eastern Battlefield with the utmost speed!"

The Mulan Emperor ordered.

"Yes!" an official responded.

The Eastern Battlefield!

The situation of the war changed in an instant. The Mu Lan Empire became aggressive. Wherever their army went, the four Great Dynasties retreated, including the Yuehua Dynasty, which had originally been part of the joint defense!

Suddenly, they changed their strategy. Instead of resisting the Mu Lan Empire, they attacked their allies!

Has the Yuehua Dynasty truly gone mad? Have they surrendered to the Mu Lan Empire?

The battlefield became chaotic. The Yuehua Dynasty, which originally had ordinary combat power, suddenly began to use troops like gods, winning great victories on the battlefield.

Over the course of a month, they hadn't lost a single battle.

The battlefield became a stage for two empires. Two Luck Dynasties were harvesting frantically.

Within the military camp of the Yuehua Dynasty, Yun Xiao sat at her desk. A large number of generals stood on both sides, some brought along and some from the Yuehua Dynasty.

They looked at Yun Xiao with immense awe; this commander was truly formidable.

"Ling Yun!" Yun Xiao called out.

"Present!" Ling Yun immediately responded.

"The Daniao Dynasty ahead is empty of troops. Take three hundred thousand soldiers and capture it!" Yun Xiao said.

"Marshal, what about the enemy troops in the West and South?" Ling Yun asked with a furrowed brow.

"Don't worry! General Ye Wudi and Mr. Corpse Soul are already in position!" Yun Xiao said with certainty.

"Yes!" Ling Yun responded.

At the same time, from the West and Southeast of Yun Xiao's army, two elite units emerged!

"The banner with the character 'Ye'—the First Legion Commander of the Dazheng Dynasty, General Ye Wudi!"

"The banner with the character 'Shi'—the Third Legion Commander of the Dazheng Dynasty, Mr. Corpse Soul!"

The great battle of the Eastern Battlefield officially began!

Mu Lan Empire, Luoyan City!

"Your Majesty, the Dazheng Dynasty's troop speed is too fast. The Yuehua Dynasty has suddenly become powerful, and the Dazheng Dynasty's two-pronged army is invincible. It seems they are..."

an official said.

"Hm? Doing what?" the Mulan Emperor asked.

"Competing. Their siege speed is like a forced march, constantly charging, just charging. The command ability of the two generals is extremely rare!"

an official said.

"Such military geniuses are not seen in a thousand years, yet the Dazheng Dynasty found two and even subdued them both!"

"Two-pronged? I say it's three-pronged!"

"Report! The Yuehua Dynasty has publicly announced its official surrender to the Dazheng Dynasty!" The soldier finished speaking and immediately withdrew.

"See? The third army!" the Mulan Emperor sneered.

Chang'an City, within the imperial court!

Hun Tiandi was dressed in a golden Nine-Dragon Robe, wearing a Pingtian Crown. He exuded majesty without anger, his aura like a dragon!

"It's time for us to leave!" Hun Tiandi said, walking out of the Longevity Hall. Standing outside were Princess Nian Youyou, Qing Yue, Li Jingzhong...

There were also a large number of officials, and in the distance stood the Imperial Guards, all of whom were elites.

"Long live our King, long live, long live!"

The others shouted at the top of their lungs!

Then, the group flew towards the East. A Nine-Dragon Heavenly Chair was placed facing forward, and he slowly sat down!

The imperial expedition entered the Eastern Battlefield for the final showdown.

"Hahaha! What grand audacity!" the Mulan Emperor said angrily.

"Order all existing legions to fight with all their might..."

"Yes!" the official responded.

At the same time, a large number of Horned Dragons swam frantically, protecting Hun Tiandi as he marched toward the East.

Everywhere he passed, a large number of scouts flew over. War reports from the front arrived continuously: the three Great Dynasties had already been annihilated!

General Ye Wudi had taken twenty-two cities, Yun Xiao had taken forty-two cities, and Mr. Corpse Soul captured eighteen cities. They began to reorganize their forces to face the Mu Lan Empire.

"Pass down the order: strike the Mu Lan Empire with the utmost speed. Once they are destroyed, the remaining cities will be nothing to fear!" Hun Tiandi spoke.

Then, figures sped away.
