A breathtaking conspiracy is quietly taking place. The Panlong Heavenly Emperor, trusting Kun Master’s strategy, stakes everything by redirecting five hundred thousand troops each from the other two battlefields to the Heavenly God Mountain battlefield.

Actually, this is somewhat risky.

It is a dangerous move.

However, both the Kun Heavenly Master and the Panlong Heavenly Emperor are very confident; they believe that the troops from the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country are like mice hiding in holes.

They would never dare to take the initiative to attack the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom.

Therefore, even if most of the forces from the other two battlefields are withdrawn, leaving an empty city as a feint, the garrison commander from the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country’s side would not dare to act.

They would only dare to hide within the city walls, observing in secret.

The Panlong Heavenly Emperor is confident that in a very short period, he will conclude the battle. By the time the garrison commanders of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country sense something is amiss, he will have already annihilated the two million troops stationed by the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country at the Heavenly God Mountain battlefield.

By then, he would be unflinching, not fearing a counterattack from the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country on the other two battlefields.

Moreover, with an ally like the Xuanwu Heavenly Kingdom, who can also exert force at crucial moments,

the Panlong Heavenly Emperor and Kun Heavenly Master remain even more fearless.

It took only two days for the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom to complete this troop transfer.

The massive army gathered, with the lowest cultivation being that of a Great Sword Master. This is the true strength and foundation of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom.

Even a super sect like the Ten Thousand Sword Sect has quite a gap compared to the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom.

The entire Ten Thousand Sword Sect, including Sword Slaves, consists of only one million people.

In contrast, the army of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom numbers at least over five million. Although this number is large, it’s not just a matter of grabbing any robust man to piece together that number.

Each soldier has a minimum of Great Sword Master cultivation level.

This is one of the strict requirements for conscription into the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom’s forces.

Therefore, this is a highly combat-capable army.

Imagine, even if all five million of Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom’s soldiers only have Great Sword Master cultivation, each unleashing a sword light would be enough to cover the sky and destroy a city, more than enough.

Even a Supreme Sword God level expert might not dare to confront five million Great Sword Masters.

This is just an example; among the five million troops, Great Sword Masters certainly only make up a portion. There would also be Sword Saints, and even Sword Gods among them.

A sect’s financial resources and territory are limited.

There is still a significant gap when compared to a Heavenly Kingdom.

Perhaps the Ten Thousand Sword Sect has no shortage of top-tier experts, but the number of lower-level Great Sword Masters cannot compare with a Heavenly Kingdom.

"Panlong Emperor, the army has been redeployed, and everything is ready." A trusted Great General entered the palace to report.

"Good! I will personally command and win this battle, and I will win beautifully."

The Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s eyes glowed with a wolf-like ferocity, his face full of killing aura.

Holding a vastly superior force at hand, he didn’t want to delay a moment. Taking advantage of the Vermilion Bird Emperor’s unpreparedness, the Panlong Heavenly Emperor swiftly commanded the army to launch an all-out attack on the Heavenly God Pass of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country’s side.

Inside the Heavenly God Pass, the Vermilion Bird Emperor was convening a meeting with his advisors and generals, holding an emergency military meeting.

Because just recently, he received news that the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom secretly brought in a million troops to reinforce the Heavenly God Mountain battlefield.

The Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom already held a significant force advantage, and an additional million troops spelled disaster for the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country. The Heavenly God Mountain battlefield is one of the two major battlefields.

If it is lost, the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country would be in grave danger.

It’s like two masters exchanging blows, exposing vital points to the enemy without defense, that kind of situation.

It’s terrifying.

The Vermilion Bird Emperor was so worried his hair turned white overnight, burning with anxiety.

But he couldn’t figure out a good solution.

At this point, blaming the scouts and intelligence officers of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country side is pointless.

"Your Majesty, the Panlong Heavenly Emperor is leading an army of 3,500,000 in a full-scale attack on the Heavenly God Pass. We can still hold the pass for now by relying on it, but I fear we may not last for long!"

A Vice General, sweating profusely, dashed into the Central Army Tent, reporting the latest military information.

"Grit your teeth and hold fast! I will immediately dispatch troops to reinforce it. Since things have come to this point, we have no choice but to brave it out and solicit aid from the Divine Baihu Kingdom."

The Vermilion Bird Emperor struggled to maintain his imperial composure, appearing somewhat calm.

But his hand hidden under the table trembled violently.

Faced with such a matter of national life and death crisis, the Vermilion Bird Emperor simply couldn’t maintain a calm demeanor in the face of impending disaster.

If not driven to the brink, he would never willingly appeal to the Divine Baihu Kingdom for aid.

In the past, at most, the countries were allies.

Because once aid is sought, it means owing a favor to others. It also implies acknowledging one’s own nation’s inadequacy.

This would result in a significant loss of the nation’s dignity, reputation, and other interests.

...

Three days later, as Heavenly God Pass was on the brink of collapse and reinforcements had not yet arrived, the Vermilion Bird Emperor was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

"Your Majesty, why not seek help from Chu Feng? Perhaps he might resolve the crisis at Heavenly God Pass!" An old general suggested to the Vermilion Bird Emperor.

Chu Feng had repeatedly achieved stunning victories over the troops of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom, leaving an indelible impression on many people.

Some even regarded him as a War God.

"Alas, do you think I don’t want to seek his help? But alas, he is not a vassal of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country and is not obliged to obey orders. Moreover, I, as the Heavenly Emperor, cannot command him. To seek his help would mean requesting it, which could be perceived as humiliating..."

The Vermilion Bird Emperor had considered seeking help from Chu Feng,

but as an Emperor, he had too many things to consider.

Moreover, the Demon Sea Pass Battlefield is tens of thousands of miles away from the Heavenly God Pass Battlefield. It’s not like you can just come and go as you please.

It would take at least ten days.

By the time Chu Feng arrived with his forces in ten days, the Heavenly God Pass would have long been breached.

Just as the Vermilion Bird Emperor was in a state of anxiety, helpless and overwhelmed, a Vice General came rushing in with excitement to report.

"Your Majesty, the first wave of our reinforcements has arrived. A total of four hundred thousand troops."

"Good, they’ve come at just the right time! With this batch of reinforcements, Heavenly God Pass can hold for another seven or eight days without any problem." The Vermilion Bird Emperor was also greatly encouraged, visibly elated as he went to welcome the reinforcements.

...

In the blink of an eye, nine days passed.

Determined to capture the Heavenly God Pass in one fell swoop, the Panlong Heavenly Emperor transferred another half a million troops from the rear for reinforcement.

Nearly four million troops were invested here, effectively locking eighty percent of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom’s troops at the Heavenly God Pass.

In contrast, the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country’s side seemed equally like a rampaging mad bull.

A total of 2,800,000 troops were committed.

This is already the maximum number of troops the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country could muster.

Because the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country also had to allocate a portion of its forces to engage with the Xuanwu Heavenly Kingdom.
