Chapter 145.2
The news quickly spread back to the Great Yan court.
When the Great Yan Emperor heard of this, his face was stricken with shock and disbelief: What did you say? Youre telling me that my grand army has lost a staggering 400,000 men? Not to the hands of Great Xia, but to an earthquake?
Yes, Your Majesty! The Great Yan Marshal has already returned to admit his faults and ask for punishment.
With immense grief and desolation, he said, At that time, I was leading a million-strong army through the Hengduan Mountain Range, marching towards Great Xia! But who could have foreseen that in the midst of our journey, the earth would shake violently, and massive boulders would tumble down, not only blocking our path but also burying 400,000 of our brave men! I am at fault, and I ask Your Majesty to punish me!
The Great Yan Emperor closed his eyes in agony, took a deep breath, and then said, All the men are dead; what use is there in killing you? Can they be brought back to life? Tell me, can they be brought back to life?
The Marshal was speechless, and the entire court fell into a silent stillness, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Only the heavy breathing of the Great Yan Emperor could be heard.
He sat on the throne, motionless, his expression dark and his aura chillingly oppressive.
He wasnt unable to accept the loss of soldiers and generals; what he couldnt accept was his own troops suffering heavy casualties while the enemy remained unscathed!
It was truly suffocating!
Not only was Great Xia bullying him, but even the heavens seemed to be against him!
For the third time!
This was the third time!
This matter cannot be left as it is! The Great Yan Emperor slammed his hand on the table and let out a roar of anger.
Your Majesty! Everyone was shocked and looked up.
Since the Hengduan Mountain Range has become an obstacle again, and our army cannot cross over to attack, we shall dispatch experts to scale the mountains and infiltrate them! This time I am determined to make Great Xia pay the price! The Great Yan Emperor said through gritted teeth.
Yes, Your Majesty! Everyone responded in unison.
Following that, the Great Yan Emperor sent out 8 Innate masters to strike at Great Xia.
He didnt care how it was done; the only requirement was to make Great Xia pay a heavy price. Blood debts must be repaid with blood!
They were fast, reaching the Hengduan Mountain Range in less than two days.
Then, in half a days time, they crossed the Hengduan Mountain Range and arrived at Great Xia.
What should we do next?
Involuntarily, everyones gaze turned toward the elder in plain clothes at the center.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
Since the opponent was one of the earliest Innates to follow Lin Beifan, possessing strength at the Astral Qi level, he was formidable, with sharp sword moves that were not comparable to those of an ordinary Innate.
Apart from one who had already started fighting with the Deadly Scholar, the other seven dared not make a move.
Youll do, youre quite strong. Lets have a go!
Wine Sword Immortal picked out one whose strength also reached the Astral Qi level and began to fight.
At this moment, Generals Tiangong, Digong, and Rengong also arrived.
With an imposing presence, they shouted, We are General Tiangong, General Digong, General Rengong! By the emperors command, we have come to execute you all! Will you not come forward and accept your death?
Three tricksters, let this old man take you on! From within the Great Yan faction, three Innate experts immediately charged into battle.
Chai Yuxin, wielding the Blazing Flame Divine Spear, rushed over.
She didnt waste any words and directly challenged one of the Innates, engaging in combat.
Thus, only two Innates remained on Great Yans side.
They were about to go and support the others when they saw two little giants stomping on the ground, charging over like wild beasts.
Each of them was holding a deliciously roasted pig leg, savoring it as they ate.
One of them said in a buzzing voice, Elder brother, it seems were late; all the people have been snatched up!
Another shook their head and said, Not late at all, not the slightest bit late. Look over there, there are still two of them! They seem quite strong; they should be able to withstand a few punches!
With that, the two of them flung away the pig legs they were holding and excitedly charged forward.
We are the mighty Heng Ha Generals, come and fight!
What Heng Ha Generals? I see nothing but two big fools. Let this old man take you on! After I slay you, the Great Xia dog Emperor will surely be heartbroken, wont he?
The remaining two Innates of Great Yan showed no mercy as they fiercely attacked.
