"Upon returning to the capital this time, you will surely receive a generous reward. I wonder what the King of the Northwest desires?"
The Ninth Prince smiled faintly, his gaze falling upon Lu Fan.
"A million soldiers to campaign against the Hell Dynasty!"
Lu Fan's words were plain, yet carried a touch of ferocity, as if his speech possessed an innate chill.
With this statement, the Ninth Prince was slightly startled. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to speak in such a manner, catching him off guard.
"It truly is unexpected that the King of the Northwest possesses such mettle. I am truly impressed. If the Hell Dynasty can indeed be conquered, it would be a great joy for the entire Heavenly Dynasty!" The Ninth Prince said repeatedly, his expression earnest. Su Dan Novel Network
"Your Highness, you jest. I merely have such an idea, but achieving it is naturally not an easy matter!" Lu Fan replied with a shake of his head. "Given the Heavenly Dynasty's strength, it is indeed quite difficult to accomplish this."
"While that may be so, with determination, nothing is impossible!" the Ninth Prince stated directly. "I do hope the Heavenly Dynasty will dispatch troops. In that case, my Ninth Prince's Estate will undoubtedly offer full support."
"It seems Your Highness also holds a considerable grudge against the Hell Dynasty!" Lu Fan smiled slightly.
"The Hell Dynasty has consistently desired to initiate a dynastic war, which is why I am deeply concerned. If the Hell Dynasty can be eradicated, our Heavenly Dynasty will be able to secure peace!" the Ninth Prince declared frankly. "It is a pity that achieving this is not an easy feat!"
"It is all in human effort!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly. "Did we not almost succeed this time? However, all endeavors carry risks; this is unavoidable!"
The Ninth Prince nodded. He was naturally well aware of what Lu Fan had said.
"Do you all want to join?"
Just then, the North American County Princess's voice rang out. She had caught several wild rabbits, appearing quite pleased.
Having always lived a life of pampered luxury within the imperial city, she had never experienced life in the wilderness before. It seemed to be quite enjoyable, filling her with delight.
In response to her words, Lu Fan smiled and quickly ran over. A bonfire was lit, roasting the wild rabbits, which looked rather delicious.
Meanwhile, within the forest, a large contingent of black-clad figures was hidden. These individuals concealed their presence, their brows furrowing as they observed the million-strong army.
"Boss, it seems difficult to make a move here!"
A black-clad man spoke, "A million soldiers are guarding this place, and furthermore, the Commander of the Northwest is a formidable expert!"
"This is our last opportunity. We did not find a chance outside Kyushu City. If we miss this, the superiors will likely be displeased!" the leader of the black-clad men shook his head, his gaze growing more solemn, as if a decision had been made.
"In that case, why don't we create a diversion?"
Another black-clad man suggested, "We can impersonate members of the Hell Dynasty. When they come out, we can assassinate him!"
"That is precisely my intention!" the leader of the black-clad men nodded. "If that is the case, this matter shall be entrusted to you. You must ensure safety and strike the King of the Northwest with full force!"
The many black-clad men nodded. As Wen Taishi's lackeys, they had performed such tasks countless times. This was not a significant undertaking for them.
However, given the current situation, apprehending Lu Fan was clearly not an easy matter.
Upon considering this, the leader of the black-clad men furrowed his brows tightly. Although his strength was considerable, assassinating someone within a million-strong army was not something he could achieve with his current means.
More importantly, Lu Fan wielded a peerless divine weapon. Therefore, they had to directly confront Lu Fan and kill him without using the divine weapon in order to complete the mission.
As Lu Fan and the others were enjoying the roasted rabbits, their brows subtly creased, and they simultaneously looked in other directions, their eyes holding a cold glint.
"The aura of the Hell Dynasty! How is that possible!" the North American County Princess exclaimed, taken aback.
But in that very instant, several black-clad figures from within the forest flashed out, stepping towards the open, their movements appearing exceptionally fierce.
Witnessing this scene, Lu Fan's figure instantly moved, chasing after the black-clad figures. If these individuals were indeed from the Hell Dynasty, he would not let them off easily.
In that precise moment, Lu Fan's form was exceedingly graceful, and he quickly caught up. However, the black-clad men seemed to deliberately slow their pace before accelerating wildly, quickly crossing several mountaintops.
Lu Fan, however, pursued relentlessly, his expression cold. "Who exactly are you people! You have remarkable audacity to lure me here amidst my million-strong army."
"Since you already know that we intentionally lured you here, why did you come!"
The leader of the black-clad men asked coldly, a faint smile appearing on his face. His gaze fell upon Lu Fan, carrying a chilling intensity, as if Lu Fan were already a meal on a plate.
"You are not from the Hell Dynasty. Who are you, and why do you wish to lure me here!" Lu Fan asked coldly.
"Of course, to kill you!" the leader of the black-clad men sneered. "You have offended those you shouldn't have, and this is your fate. No one can save you!"
Lu Fan immediately burst into laughter, a cold light flashing in his eyes. With these few individuals, they were no match for him.
"Perhaps you are unaware! Today is your day of death!"
The leader of the black-clad men roared with laughter, instantly unleashing his aura. To avoid arousing Lu Fan's suspicion, he had been suppressing his presence. Now that they had reached this point, how could he relent?
Sensing the black-clad man's aura, Lu Fan's expression turned grim. He had not expected these black-clad men to have concealed their strength. Their true power was extraordinary; this mere aura was not something ordinary individuals could possess.
"Since you are not from the Hell Dynasty and have appeared outside the imperial city, are the people within the imperial city plotting against me?" Lu Fan scoffed. "They truly think highly of me, sending so many experts. Are they afraid they cannot kill me?"
"You talk too much nonsense. Today is your day of death. No matter what you say, no one can save you!"
The black-clad man's expression was indifferent as he strode directly towards Lu Fan. The matter had reached this point, and he would not hold back in the slightest.
Sensing this impact, Lu Fan's lips curved upward slightly. "Do you think your concealed strength can achieve anything?"
The leader of the black-clad men paid him no mind. His aura surged powerfully, and in an instant, he reached Lu Fan, intending to kill him without any reservation or concern.
However, facing all of this, Lu Fan's lips curved slightly upward. In that very moment, he charged towards the black-clad man.
