The speaker was a figure clad in heavy armor.

He was an elderly man, whose hair had turned somewhat white but whose eyes were still bright and fierce, commanding respect without showing any trace of decline.

This man was Murong Kaifeng, the Grand Marshal of the Anti-Qian Army.

His features were not remarkable, but the vigor and Evil Qi from years of warfare, together with the authority developed from leading troops in battle, endowed his plain face with an extraordinary imposingness.

His immense pressure, heavy with the scent of blood and charged with Evil Qi, chilled one to the bone.

Murong Kaifeng had followed Emperor Yuan You since his youth, displaying unwavering loyalty, and had always been the Emperor’s right-hand man. Emperor Yuan You had managed to defeat other Quasi Emperor’s Sons and become the new Great Emperor of South Qin, with considerable contributions from him.

Now, he was over 1500 years old. Due to his later ascension to the Great Heavenly Proud and being older when he advanced to the Divine Realm, he appeared much more aged than other Divine Realm Powerhouses of his age, but this in no way diminished his strength or prestige.

This time, he had been deployed by Emperor Yuan You as the Marshal to oversee the Anti-Qian Army for safety’s sake.

“Marshal Murong indeed has far-sighted wisdom,” Listening to Murong Kaifeng’s words, the Prince of Beimin, sitting across him, picked up his tea, took a sip, and said indifferently, “I am no match for the Marshal in conducting warfare. The Marshal may arrange as he sees fit. Once we reach Jianling Pass, it will be my time to take action, and I will follow all commands from Marshal Murong.”

Prince Beimin was a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe and wearing a golden crown.

His frame was lean, and his face was stern, making the large robe hang loosely on him. Thick yin qi lingered around him, making him look almost ghostly at first glance.

A formidable aura radiated from him as the center, permeating the air with a chilling presence.

Faintly, one could even hear eerie wails, resembling ghostly cries, making one wonder if his wide black robe concealed thousands of ghosts.

The armored elephant moved slowly forward, and the spacious elephant house swayed rhythmically with its steps, but neither of the two inside was affected.

“As long as we cross Youmen Ridge, Jianling Pass of Da Qian will be less than two thousand miles away,” said Murong Kaifeng in a deep voice, “By then, we should take advantage of Dongqian’s unpreparedness, breach Jianling Pass within three days, lead our troops straight into the heartland of Tianfu County, Dongqian, and seize it swiftly. With that accomplished, we can rely on the strategic location of Peace River to defend against the Azure Dragon Army.” ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

“Meanwhile, West Jin will cross the perilous West Sea Salt Pool and launch a surprise attack on West Sea Prefecture, Dongqian. With our forces from the south and from the north, striking Da Qian concurrently, we will certainly exhaust them and inflict severe pain.”

Upon hearing this, Prince Beimin slightly furrowed his brows, “The strategy sounds good, but now doesn’t seem to be the ideal time to wage war against Dongqian, does it? Longchang has only semi-abdicated recently, why not wait patiently for two or three hundred years until Longchang falls and the Dongqian Dynasty Imperial Family enters a gap of Transcendent Void Realm cultivators before making a move?”

“By that time, even if Dongqian seeks help from the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty’s Transcendent Void Realm, those cultivators won’t risk their lives for Dongqian.”

“Alas,” Murong Kaifeng sighed, a trace of bitterness crossing his brow, “This war indeed commenced too hastily. I have also advised His Majesty, arguing that now is not a good opportunity to attack Dongqian, fearing that Longchang and Jiang Zhencang might desperately lash out.”

Prince Beimin puzzled, “Then why…”

“Ahhh~ It’s because…” Murong Kaifeng paused, set up a restriction around them before continuing through a transmission, “His Majesty once explained to me privately that he also did not wish to wage this war. However, this campaign is driven by significant figures from the Demonic Dynasty behind the scenes, leaving him no choice but to proceed.”

The Demonic Dynasty?

Prince Beimin’s eyes flickered momentarily as he smirked coldly, “I see. It seems we have become the cannon fodder used by the bigshots of the Demonic Dynasty to distract and attract the enemy’s attention.”

“Beimin, you must keep this confidential,” Murong Kaifeng spoke gravely, “Although this war is hastily arranged and ill-timed, precisely because of this, Dongqian would never expect us to act before Longchang has died, providing us with the element of surprise.”

“Regardless of what aims those from the Demonic Dynasty harbor, we must fight this battle well. If we can successfully seize the affluent Tianfu County, we can significantly alleviate the shortages of food and iron in Da Qin. If West Jin also successfully captures West Sea Prefecture, Dongqian’s national strength will inevitably be severely damaged.”

“Then, we can also turn our weapons against the Barbarian Gu Clan and annex their territories, by which time, Da Qin’s national power will surely leap forward significantly.”

Listening to Murong Kaifeng sketch out an optimistic future, Prince Beimin’s eyes also lit up with excitement, “Marshal Murong speaks sensibly. The mere thought of having free rein in the rich Tianfu County excites me. Moreover, since Dongqian killed the Prince of Beimin back in the day, this is the perfect chance to settle that score!”

“Therefore, I will have you, Prince Beimin, lead the Scout Team first to take control of the harsh Youmen Ridge, preventing Dongqian from turning our plans against us by using the Earth Dragon of Youmen Ridge to ambush our Da Qin army.”
