Chapter 264 - 177: Sweeping Through Dayong, The World Attacks Qin

Chapter 264: Chapter 177: Sweeping Through Dayong, The World Attacks Qin

The ministers could only nod.

Xiao Gu chuckled and said, "Since Prince Qin has spoken, there’s nothing more to question. The current strength of our Great Qin is largely thanks to the Prince’s assistance.

He is now confident enough to expand our borders and fight on the front lines. We have no reason to hold him back.

The worst that can happen is that we end up right back where we started.

Let’s see this war through to the end."

His words made Li Qing and the others nod in agreement.

At this point, it was just as Lu Yuan had said. If they agreed to a ceasefire now, the other dynasties would never give Great Qin another chance to send out its troops.

They would surely unite to oppose Great Qin.

The outcome of that would be uncertain.

But now, if they went on an all-out offensive, they might just be able to tear another piece of flesh from Dayong.

At this thought, they all nodded, agreeing to let the army continue its attack.

Seeing everyone’s consensus, the head of the Xiao Clan nodded and said, "Since everyone agrees, let us continue the offensive. If Prince Qin wants to annihilate Dayong, then we shall give him our full support."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The ministers of Great Qin hurriedly proclaimed.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan was heading toward the Dayong Imperial City.

After replying to the message from the Xiao Clan, his brows furrowed.

’The three dynasties are actually pressuring Great Qin at the same time.’

’This is certainly a difficult situation, but it’s not like I don’t have a way to deal with it.’

’I wonder if the other dynasties can withstand a Ninth-Grade Military Array.’

At the same time, in the Great Yu imperial palace, the Yu Emperor’s expression was grim.

Just moments ago, he had received Great Qin’s definitive reply: they refused the truce.

In that case, there was nothing left to discuss.

Facing his ministers, he spoke in a grave voice, "Great Qin is rampant and unwilling to cease hostilities. Since that is the case, we have no choice but to dispatch our troops. I hereby appoint Ma Yuan as the General of the Northern Expedition."

"Sun Hong will be his Vice General. They will lead a million Imperial Guards on a northern campaign, cut in through Suzhou, and halt Prince Qin’s advance."

Ma Yuan and Sun Hong were both Renowned Generals of Great Yu. It was clear that Great Yu was determined to stop Great Qin from destroying the Yong Dynasty.

"As you command!"

After the two generals acknowledged their orders, they withdrew from the hall at the Yu Emperor’s signal to assemble the army.

In truth, the army had already reached the border several days prior. They had even coordinated their battle plans with the Eastern Barbarians and the Xirong.

They were only waiting for Great Qin’s response. Now that they had received a clear answer, the three dynasties immediately sprang into action.

「In the Eastern Barbarian imperial palace.」

The Cyan Emperor said coldly, "Lin Xiao, lead the army at once and launch an attack on Great Qin. Your target is the Great Qin Imperial City.

Great Qin’s elite forces are all deployed, leaving their homeland with little military strength. Strike them hard for me.

Force Prince Qin to turn back and reinforce his home."

"As you command!" the Eastern Barbarians’ only Renowned General replied hastily.

Then he acknowledged the order and withdrew.

「In the Xirong imperial palace.」

The Xirong Emperor, ignoring Ling Ku’s pleas from the side, commanded his Grand General, Meng Kuo, "I order you to lead a million Imperial Guards, break through Jizhou, and launch an attack on Prince Qin from the rear. You must coordinate with Great Yu to annihilate the Qin Army within the Yong Dynasty’s territory."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The towering Meng Kuo acknowledged his orders and departed.

「In the Dayong imperial palace.」

The Yong Emperor, who had been preparing to leave, now stared at the Renowned General Zhang Xiao with gleaming eyes. "The reinforcements from Great Yu, the Eastern Barbarians, and the Xirong are all on the move.

They will attack Great Qin within a day. I command you to lead our army, wait in Lingzhou for the allied reinforcements to arrive, and join forces to intercept Prince Qin.

He may have defeated two Renowned Generals, but I refuse to believe he can defeat four of them working together.

If he can, then what does it matter if I give him my Dayong?"

The Yong Emperor had become ruthless, deciding to bet everything on one last battle against Lu Yuan.

The entire world was now set in motion.

With the exception of the Southern Border, all the other dynasties were swept into this battle.

「Atop the mountain of the White Cloud Sect.」

The White Cloud Sect Leader, one of the world’s supreme experts, gazed at the distant, drifting clouds, a smile appearing on his aged face.

He looked at his disciple, Zhang Fan, and said, "Your opportunity is about to arrive. I am certain that Prince Qin has a way to deal with the other dynasties.

As long as he wins this time, his prestige will reach its zenith.

At that moment, it will be your turn to step in and clean up the mess."

"Yes, Master," Zhang Fan replied.

However, a hint of hesitation flickered in his eyes. It seemed he wanted to say something, but in the end, he chose to remain silent.

The great war was about to begin.

As for Lu Yuan, after a full day of travel, he had arrived within the borders of Lingzhou.

He had just finished setting up camp and entered the command tent to rest.

Just then, Xiao Lie rushed in and said to Lu Yuan, "Your Highness, Great Yu, the Eastern Barbarians, and the Xirong have all dispatched their armies! A total of five Renowned Generals are taking action.

Aside from the Eastern Barbarian forces, which are headed for our Great Qin homeland, the others are all coming for us from different directions.

The number of elite troops is estimated to be close to three million."

His voice was clearly tinged with worry. Although he knew the other dynasties would make a move after Lu Yuan refused the truce, Xiao Lie hadn’t expected them to act so quickly.

A combined army of several million was marching straight for them.

And on top of that, the Eastern Barbarian army was heading for Great Qin itself.

’In the court’s current state, I’m afraid it won’t be able to withstand a million-strong Imperial Guard.’

After hearing Xiao Lie’s report, Lu Yuan asked in a low voice, "How long until they reach their intended targets?"

"Ten days at the most before the armies of the various dynasties converge. What should we do?" Xiao Lie’s voice was clearly laced with anxiety.

After all, so many dynasties had launched an attack. The Eastern Barbarians and the Xirong had practically committed all their main forces.

This was a battle that would decide the future of several dynasties.

How could he not be anxious?

At this moment, it wasn’t just him. No one had expected that the invasion of Dayong would trigger such a massive conflict.

Lu Yuan didn’t speak. He glanced at Xiao Lie and said, "I understand. You’re dismissed."

Xiao Lie hadn’t expected Lu Yuan to give him such a response.

But seeing the other man’s solemn expression, he didn’t dare say more and could only withdraw.

When only Lu Yuan and Zhou Hongling were left in the tent...

...he finally said, "I’m going to attempt a breakthrough tonight. You will act as my Protector. No one is to enter."

"Understood."

Zhou Hongling nodded and took up her post outside the tent.

Then, Lu Yuan sat down cross-legged.

The next moment, the system’s data appeared in his mind.
