Chapter 2104: Chapter 2050–2051
The Crown Prince of Great Yu, having secured his position within the imperial court, naturally possesses his own wisdom.
Despite accompanying his father, the King, on the military expedition, he senses something amiss. Allowing the Great Yu imperial court to seize the Divine City, the Great Ming Divine Dynasty would certainly not permit such an act.
Throughout the years, their Great Yu imperial court has been continually oppressed by the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. Although losing troops and suffering successive defeats, even a dead camel is a colossal beast; even now, the Great Yu imperial court is a formidable entity.
On ordinary days, the Great Ming Divine Dynasty might not care, but at this time, they are at their most vigilant. They wouldn’t truly leave the Border County vulnerable, inviting an attack from us.
Could this be a trap?
“Hahaha, true, my son is indeed wise. Though our Great Yu imperial court has mostly faced losses over these years, we are still regarded by the Great Ming Divine Dynasty as a significant threat. They would never turn a blind eye, regardless of the time.
Yet now, with the Great Ming Divine Dynasty watching, ambitious and aggressive, they won’t spare us the Great Yu imperial court. We can say that both parties are in a fiery confrontation, with no possibility of coexistence.
Under such circumstances, a battle is inevitable. Whether their Border County is defenceless or filled with ambushes, we must make our move. At least for this occasion, the initiative is in our own hands, possibly catching them off guard. Otherwise, if we truly miss this opportunity and give them ample time, they could quickly assemble a formidable army, which would be hard for us to challenge. In this world, there is never an ‘if.’ If we wait for them to suppress numerous opponents, we’d be entirely out of chances.” The King of Great Yu laughed heartily, eyes glowing with confidence.
This matter is complex and ever-changing, and the situation has developed to this point. It’s not just about acting proactively; whether the other side’s trap or not, this is the current reality we face.
Therefore, there’s no need to overthink it. As the initiative is in our hands now, why not strike?
Of course, there are other reasons behind it, which are not for outsiders to know at this moment.
The Crown Prince of Great Yu vaguely senses something amiss, a Divine Light flickering in his eyes. He does not speak further. Though hailed as the most powerful figure in the imperial court, he finds himself in an awkward position.
If lacking in ability, the Crown Prince’s position would be coveted by other princes, and many ministers might deem him unfit for power, displeasing the King.
Yet, if the Crown Prince is too powerful, though enough to intimidate other ambitious princes and satisfy numerous ministers, it becomes a significant threat to the King himself.
Thus, as an outstanding Crown Prince, while satisfying various factions, he also faces some suspicion from the King.
Noticing the King’s reluctance to speak directly, he refrains from asking further, knowing that without truly reaching the pinnacle, he’s unable to delve deeper, risking displeasure from the King.
This is why he does not overly worry about this particular matter. Commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, he can rely on formidable might to suppress the Great Ming’s Northern Border, provided he exercises caution, avoiding disaster.
The Great Ming Northern Border has always been the domain guarded by Duke Dingguo of the Xu Family, one of the few hereditary dukes of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. Year after year, as the cold winds blow, generations of strongmen from Duke Dingguo’s lineage have defended this land.
Xu City, originally not named Xu City, was bestowed this name by the current Great Ming God due to Duke Dingguo’s lineage’s merit in defending the border and expanding the territory. This is both a great honor and enormous pressure for Duke Dingguo’s lineage, as this Divine City is intricately linked to them, unable to be abandoned.
Xu City is the center of the northern Border County, standing in its midst. The ancient Divine City, bustling with worldly charm, houses a tall pavilion where a peculiar-faced man quietly sits in a corner, eyes shining, occasionally glancing toward the entrance.
The path of Cultivation, practicing various secret techniques and divine power skills, inevitably affects the cultivator’s appearance, but such matters are trivial except for a few cultivators overly concerned with their looks.
For most cultivators, becoming stronger is the true essence. For this, they wouldn’t mind affecting their appearance or paying an even higher price.
Thus, in the Central Earth Continent, the presence of such a peculiar-faced man is unremarkable, as people truly respect only genuine strength, which is the foundation of everything.
On the third floor of the tavern, the man sits. Each seat is separated by screens to prevent mutual disturbance. Although the eccentric-faced man appears indifferent, a closer look reveals a thread of anxiety between his brows.
His long, blue hair lies on his shoulders, and from a distance, his eyes evoke a sense of wonder, filled with allure.
Dong, dong, dong!
A mystical rhythm in the footsteps sounds from below, prompting the peculiar-faced man to look toward the entrance, eyes filled with anticipation.
