Chapter 2107: Chapter 2052–2053: Consecutive Conquest of Divine City (Part 2)
Watching the overly confident generals of the Great Yu Empire, the Crown Prince of Great Yu furrowed his brow in deep concern, yet he could only choose to deploy more warriors to sweep through the occupied ancient cities and dispatched scouts to obtain some information.
“By recapturing the Northern Border, our Great Yu Divine Dynasty’s power increases significantly. Once again restoring its former glory, it will surely advance further and transform into a Divine Dynasty, and this Emperor can also step into True Immortal Longevity and Immortality!” The Great Yu Emperor was high-spirited, letting out a long howl towards the sky, strands of Laws condensed as a massive Great Sun appeared above him, illuminating the Divine Continent.
“What Your Majesty said is very true. Our Great Yu Empire’s heritage is ancient, and this calamity has birthed an opportunity. In the days to come, establishing the Great Yu Divine Dynasty, Your Majesty will also become the founder of the Great Yu’s hegemonic endeavors.” A Noble Official by his side echoed in agreement.
The Great Yu Crown Prince showed no reaction to these words as he had heard too much of it over the days. His gaze swept around, observing the imperial army gradually dispersing to suppress various Divine Cities, and suddenly, he seemed to realize a deep conspiracy.
In the span of just one month, more than twenty Divine Cities in the Northern Border were consecutively captured—an extraordinary feat, something the Great Yu Empire had not achieved in thousands of years. The tall figure of the Great Yu Emperor stood atop the ancient war chariot, gazing at the nearby Xu City. Once Xu City falls, the entire Northern Border will once again be in the hands of the Great Yu Empire.
“Reporting to Your Majesty, the various armies are converging at Xu City, with all directions surrounded by my Huang Chao’s forces, forming an encirclement. As long as Your Majesty gives the order, Xu City will surely fall, and the entire Northern Border will be reclaimed!” A military leader with a divine sword at his waist, showing a look of excitement, loudly spoke towards the direction of the Great Yu Emperor.
“Eight armies, all have arrived. Reports have come from the eight generals. Just give the order, and we can immediately besiege Xu City, conquer it completely, and achieve the supreme hegemony.” A figure flashed, kneeling on the ground, reporting with a clear voice towards the sky.
The imperial army, with eight routes appearing simultaneously, reached Xu City from eight different paths, besieging this ancient Divine City. This city was established by a Duke Dingguo after receiving an imperial decree, having endured many storms. Its ancient walls, towering high, reached into the clouds.
Governor Xu’s figure appeared on the city wall, indifferent and without waves, as if facing not the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Great Yu Empire but just a bunch of defeated remnants.
A terrifying aura emanated from Governor Xu, responsible for guarding Xu City. The crimson flames descended from the sky, collapsing space, while the Vermilion Bird Battle Armor shimmered, as if an ancient deity had descended, threatening heaven and earth in the Ten Directions.
“Great Yu Emperor, this Governor didn’t expect you to really dare to come here. If not for the entanglement of various powers in the past, your Great Yu Empire would have long been trampled down by our Divine Dynasty. Now I can’t believe you dare step into the Northern Border; it’s a path to your own death!” Governor Xu’s expression was cold. Although the Great Yu Empire was an imperial court, it was a defeated vassal of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, easily defeated by the Duke Dingguo’s lineage.
For years, the Great Yu Empire blocked the northward expansion of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, causing dissatisfaction among the strong within the Great Ming. However, because of the entanglement of various powers and their unwillingness to let the Great Ming expand, they allowed the Great Yu to linger until today.
Now, as the Great Ming Divine Dynasty wages campaigns in all directions, unconcerned about threats from various factions, and not worried about alliances, the other side dared to truly act at this moment; it truly is seeking death.
Even with appearances indicating the disadvantage, Governor Xu showed no fear. With his aura and terrifying presence, all the warriors where his gaze passed lowered their heads.
The Four Spirits Vermilion Bird, though not primarily inclined towards slaughter, is still a Holy Beast, embodying a trace of its divine might. Along with Governor Xu’s nature that is by no means soft-hearted, his rise to today’s pinnacle was built on the corpses of countless powerful enemies, enough to instill fear in numerous people.
Here stands a Supreme Overlord, a formidable Supreme Overlord, standing atop even within the strong-filled Divine Land World.
“Taoist Zhong, later this Governor will personally challenge them. The other side certainly won’t have many considerations. At that time, you’ll launch a surprise attack, using Divine Abilities against them. I will capture them in one move, surely turning the battle from defeat to victory.” Governor Xu’s eyes glimmered with a sharp light.
At times, the battlefield’s situation is inherently complex and variable. Even though he made preparations in advance, Duke Dingguo left many troops and strong individuals when leaving, yet this time around, the forces deployed by the Great Yu Empire were beyond his expectation.
He couldn’t quite understand why the usually cautious Great Yu Empire would act so recklessly this time, deploying so many powerful warriors and a large army on a gamble. Were they not worried about being entirely lost here, even leading to the collapse of the empire?
However, Xu City was built at a great cost as a Divine City. Left to the strong forces of the Great Yu Empire and their powerful Divine Abilities, they could only encircle it bit by bit, weakening Xu City’s power and thus bringing it down. If he chooses to make a frontal assault at this time, the other side would not pass up the opportunity to trap him outside the city, and against his actions, only by acting personally would he have the force to trap him.
Aware that this action carried significant risks, Governor Xu had no choice but to take the risk. After all, the opponent’s advance was surprisingly rapid.
Even though he made plans to lure the enemy deep, intentionally abandoning the defense of over twenty Divine Cities to disperse their forces, he did not expect them to still have over a hundred thousand troops, and these were certainly elite forces.
Yet, his reinforcements had not arrived, and according to estimates, it might still take half a month, with any unforeseen incidents potentially extending that time.
This was where their plan had unexpected outcomes, even though Xu City was strong, facing such a siege, if the other side truly attacks with a large army, half a month would be enough for them to conquer it. This was something Governor Xu could not accept.
He could only choose other ways to defuse the crisis, trying to preserve Xu City’s strength to the greatest extent. Even though he held an exceptional status within Duke Dingguo’s lineage, wielding considerable Authority, his plans this time were indeed a bit risky. Losing over twenty Divine Cities was an unprecedented defeat even in the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, a failure of such magnitude without sufficient merit would completely cost him his life.
Now, facing the threat of a desperate situation, with Taoist Zhong’s assistance, Governor Xu had no other option but to equally take a gamble. Of course, he himself did not think it a gamble, as he was filled with confidence in his own strength.
The Great Yu Emperor’s strength, although formidable, was not something Governor Xu contemplated. After many encounters with the opponent, he had reserved his strength, allowing the Great Yu Emperor’s repeated victories. In this encounter, he would certainly not choose to hold back, but strike out forcefully and capture the opponent, which was the outcome he desired.
“Even if you have someone supporting you behind the scenes, or the temptation of power, as long as they haven’t acted, capturing you means no one will dare come to rescue you here, otherwise it would be a blatant challenge to the Great Ming Divine Dynasty’s authority and a trample on the Duke Dingguo’s honor. Such consequences are not something ordinary powers and strong individuals can bear.” Governor Xu calculated silently, contemplating the best timing to go out and engage the enemy.
He guessed that the reason they dared to act like this now was probably because of some backing power or a strong person’s support, which would otherwise not make sense.
