Chapter 23

Chapter 23

At that moment, Lin Beifan returned with the grand army of the Xia Kingdom.

Looking at the grief-stricken Mo Kingdom Emperor on the other side of the rift and then at the Mo Kingdom troops within the chasm, he burst into laughter: Ive always said that our Xia army is the army of righteousness, executing the will of heaven, and with divine assistance, we were destined to win this battle!

Look, havent we won now? With just a turn of the earth dragon, the Mo Kingdoms army was overturned. We won effortlessly and with easethis is the will of Heaven, haha!

The soldiers of the Xia Kingdom were all dumbfounded!

Doubts inevitably arose in their hearts; were they truly a righteous army, blessed by the heavens to win this battle?

But the moment they saw the smug Lin Beifan, that thought was instantly cast out of their minds far beyond the highest clouds.

How could the heavens bless such a foolish emperor?

That would truly be blindness!

It could only be said that this foolish emperors luck was incredibly good!

No sooner had he fled then an earthquake struck, leaving him unscathed while the great army of the Mo Kingdom perished!

Dogshit luck!!!

But, such words could not be spoken aloud.

Faced with the exceedingly proud Lin Beifan, they unanimously began to flatter him.

First was An Lushan.

With a big belly, he spoke obsequiously, Your Majestys words are most true! Our expedition is to carry out Heavens will, we are the army of justice, and thats why Heaven lends us its aid! However, I believe that all of this is inseparable from Your Majestys wise leadership! Without Your Majestys guidance, we would not have achieved this glorious victory! Your Majesty is wise and sagacious!

Then came Heshen.

This fellow was more experienced in the ways of the world and said, I have always thought that it must be because Your Majesty is a man of good fortune that Heaven aids him, thus turning misfortune into blessings and disaster into prosperity! Only a true Son of Heaven could enjoy such blessings!

Following that were the other generals and officials, each one more sycophantic than the last, each one more shameless.

This foolish emperor, whose life should not have ended, what a pity!

Everyone shook their heads; the battle was too bizarre!

Those who should have won did not win, and those who shouldnt have won took all the victories!

Those who should have died did not die, and those who shouldnt have died were all gone!

Just how much virtue did this foolish emperor accumulate in his past life, and how much fortune did he cultivate to have such heaven-defying luck?

At this moment, Lin Beifan was still leading the great army to attack the Mo Kingdom.

As the military forces of the Mo Kingdom had almost been entirely wiped out, with the remaining troops having lost the will to resist and no desire to continue fighting, Lin Beifan encountered no obstacles as he conquered city after city.

In less than a week, he had managed to capture all territories except for the Mo Kingdoms Capital City.

At this point, Lin Beifan was leading his grand army right to the gates of the city.

Although the Mo Kingdoms Capital City still had nearly 200,000 soldiers, fully capable of standing their ground against the Xia Kingdom, they had been thoroughly intimidated by Lin Beifan and were now firmly defending the Capital City, with the city gates firmly shut.

Lin Beifan bellowed, Old man Long Yu (the revered name of the Mo Kingdoms Emperor), I know youre hiding in the city! Youre no good at fighting but quite good at running, eh? From now on, you shouldnt be called Long Yu; Long Paopao would suit you better! (TLN: (Po)=Run)

The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom felt an immense humiliation!

Taking personal command of the battle, not only did he fail to achieve victory, but he was also embarrassingly defeated and forced to flee by the enemy, losing all face!

Moreover, this is already the second time that territory has been lost!

To think that he has been defeated twice in a row by a foolish emperordoes this not imply that he is even worse than that foolish emperor?

The shame is unbearable, so much so that he is contemplating suicide!
