Feng Qingxiao wanted to ruthlessly trap Duke Ba Tian, this made Yun Zihuang feel that the Battle God King was very gracious. Since ancient times, the Rising Sun Empire had always been more brutal and despicable than the barbarians of the northern region. They were filled with envy and hate towards the rich and prosperous Tian Yuan Kingdom. The Rising Sun Empire would often gather a small group of people to secretly invade the borders of the Tianyuan Kingdom.

These people were mostly the evildoers and evildoers of the Rising Sun Empire. After entering the border of the Tianyuan Kingdom, they would rob and burn wherever they went.

The Tian Yuan Kingdom similarly hated the Northern barbarians and the Rising Sun Empire. These two countries had caused great losses and suffering in the Northern Frontier of the Tian Yuan Kingdom. The Northern barbarians and the Rising Sun Empire had been a huge threat to the Tianyuan Kingdom for countless years.

In the vast area, especially in the sparsely populated northern border, there was always a slip of the tongue, giving the Northern Reaches and the Sunrise Empire an opportunity to take advantage of." Throughout the dynasties, the conflicts and wars with the Northern Region and the Rising Sun Empire had never ceased. However, the barbarian territory in the Northern Region was vast and the environment dangerous.

Moreover, the army was in a vast and desolate area. The heavy burden of food and supplies was the biggest problem for the barbarians of the northern region.

The Northern Region was too vast and desolate, with very few people around. Tian Yuan also didn't have a detailed map of the Northern Region.

The supply of food and supplies to the army was a huge burden to the barbarians. Even if they killed a few barbarian tribes, they wouldn't be able to occupy the barbarian's land for a long time. That was because there were no cities in the Northern Reaches, nor was there any place they could defend themselves. If they were to garrison their troops somewhere in the northern region, all of the supplies would have to be transported over from the Tianyuan Kingdom. The distance was too far and the burden was too great. The gains would not make up for the losses.

As for the Rising Sun Empire, it was even further away from the Tian Yuan Kingdom. Tian Yuan called it the "Wild People", which was an even more distant and mysterious place of the Wilderness.

In fact, the Rising Sun Empire was usually just a small army that harassed the northern border of the Tianyuan Kingdom. It was the third time in history that a large army had invaded.

In the previous dynasty, there had been an Emperor who had sent out an army to counterattack against the barbarians of the northern region and the Rising Sun Empire. The army had to travel a long distance in order to attack the northern region. They had to pass through countless difficulties and dangers. They had to guard against the attacks of the barbarians from the northern region at any time. The size of the area, the difficulty of the road, and the dangerous environment made it so that many soldiers didn't die in battle, but from illness or from illness, or because they died in vile conditions. The transportation of large quantities of resources over a long distance was a huge problem.

The barbarians of the north had robbed some of the supplies. Many people had starved to death because of the lack of supplies.

Even if the distance to the empire was very long and the roads were rough, there were still no maps. Just a wide river was enough to form a chasm and stop the army. The delivery of supplies was even more of a problem.

The wild dragon river extended endlessly, and it was difficult for the army to cross. Even if they were to build a boat, it would take a long time, not to mention the large rivers had mountains on both sides with dense forests. There were very few people and no roads, which was a huge problem. Every winter, when the Great River was sealed, the Rising Sun Empire would send out bandits who were not afraid of death. They would cross the river from the Rising Sun Empire and venture into the northern border of the Tian Yuan Empire.

In April, the Wild Dragon River was about to melt and freeze. Once the great river was frozen, the rain would surge violently. At that time, it would be the most dangerous and difficult to overcome.

Tian Yuan Kingdom was on the west side of the Wild Dragon River. There were a few tribes and villages beside the river. The Rising Sun Empire had always attached these tribes and villages to them. In fact, the bloodlines of the people in these tribes and villages were mixed. Some belonged to the Tian Yuan Kingdom, some belonged to the Northern barbarians, and some belonged to the Sun Ascension Empire. In the long years that had passed, the people here had mixed their bloodline with countless other races, intermarried with each other. As a result, no one could say for sure what their bloodline was and what their background was.

Because it was closest to the Rising Sun Empire, the bloodline here was closer to the Rising Sun Empire. Furthermore, the Rising Sun Empire was a cruel and tyrannical empire, so the nearby villages and tribes could only agree that they were from the Rising Sun Empire. In fact, most of the so-called bandits who invaded the north were the most brutal and greedy people in the tribes and villages. They did not need to cross the river and were more familiar with the Tian Yuan Kingdom. There would often be groups of criminals gathered together, harassing the northern border.

It would also be extremely difficult to exterminate these tribes and villages. This was because they were located in a wide and steep forest and were not suitable for the army to pass through.

Over the years, the most devastating loss to these mixed blood tribes controlled by the Sun Ascension Empire was this time when Yun Zihuang led the Iron Guards all the way to the border of the Sun Ascension Empire. The Iron Guards were galloping everywhere. Every tribe and village they passed by were completely massacred, not leaving even a single chicken or dog!

These villages and tribes were not truly peaceful places, much less paradise, but the lair of the Rising Sun Empire's bandits!

Yun Zihuang's ruthlessness this time had won him peace for many years to come for the northern border of the Tianyuan Kingdom.

The history book said, "With Princess Taiping gone, Tianyuan will be at peace!"

After encountering the heavy cavalry of the Rising Sun Empire, she captured the general of the Rising Sun Empire, but didn't kill him. After torturing him, she released him and had him pass on the news to the Sky Tyrant Lord. She was the one who spread the plague in the Rising Sun Empire's military camp. The Grand Duke didn't want the huge army of 100,000 to die here and turn the plague into fertilizer, so he sent messengers to plead for peace. She gave the general a location. If the Sky Tyrant Lord wanted to save the huge army of 100,000, he had to follow her rules and send no more than ten people to wait at the designated location.

The plague had given Duke Ba Tian a splitting headache, but it had also left the army panic-stricken!

The general was also aware of the terror of the plague. He didn't dare to rest and rushed back to report. Compared to the loss of thousands of cavalry, the safety of one hundred thousand soldiers was much more important. If one lost one hundred thousand troops, the Rising Sun Empire would not be able to bear such a heavy burden. No matter how much power and authority Duke Ba Tian had, he could only bring himself to atone for it. He would no longer have the face to cross the river and return to the Sun Ascension Empire!

With such serious consequences, the general had no time to care about the consequences once he returned. Would he be punished because of the thousands of heavy cavalry soldiers?

The panic in the military could no longer be suppressed. Duke Ba Tian was so overwhelmed that he regretted it deeply for the first time in his life. Upon receiving the news that the general had brought back, he immediately sent an envoy requesting that the condition of retreating was to exchange the troops for the antidote from Yun Zihuang.

It was a pity that Duke Ba Tian was too naive. Feng Qingxiao had been besieged by the northern region and the imperial army for such a long time, how could he not take the opportunity to extort them?

"The eldest prince of the barbarians of the northern region and the ninth prince. Fifty thousand people from the barbarian race of the northern region. One hundred thousand Jin of purple gold and one hundred thousand Jin of food."

The War God King coldly threw out the conditions and ordered the envoys from the Sun Ascension Empire to bring them back to the Sky Tyrant Lord!
