"Human Emperor!"
The Grand Tutor of the Great Cloud Imperial Dynasty looked up at the Great Cloud Human Emperor and then stepped forward, bowing. "Human Emperor, the Great Cloud is in dire straits, with the empire on the verge of collapse. Though this Kui Niu legion has appeared for the first time, their method of commanding troops is extraordinary. Qi Jiguang, despite being at the Heavenly Martial realm, is a part of the Great Han legion. His strength is likely not limited to this."
"The Sacred Origin Imperial Dynasty has wronged me first, and our three Fusion Heaven realm Marquises are trapped in the Cang Mu Imperial Dynasty. Our only recourse now is to seek help from the Human Emperor Hall!"
"Grand Tutor, your words may be inappropriate!" At this moment, the Grand Commandant in the great hall frowned and immediately interjected, interrupting the Grand Tutor.
"Oh!"
"Grand Commandant, do you have a plan to repel the enemy?" The Grand Tutor's expression soured. The two had always been in a covert struggle and disliked each other.
"Reporting to the Human Emperor, the Human Emperor Hall is currently dominated by the Great Flame Human Emperor. Setting aside the conflicts between our two dynasties, the mere fact that our dynasty supported the Sacred Origin Imperial Dynasty in launching the Imperial Dynasty War means that the Human Emperor Hall absolutely cannot send troops to assist!"
"Hmph!" The Grand Tutor flicked his sleeve. The Grand Commandant's words were not untrue. The Great Flame Human Emperor, as the master of the Human Emperor Hall, would likely not send troops to aid the Great Cloud.
"Our only option now is to borrow troops from the Azure Sky Imperial Dynasty. The Azure Sky Imperial Dynasty is to our north. If our Great Cloud Imperial Dynasty collapses, the Azure Sky Imperial Dynasty will likely be next. I believe the Azure Sky Human Emperor must also be on pins and needles at this moment, and his position as Human Emperor will not be so stable!" As soon as the Grand Commandant finished speaking.
The court officials all bowed their heads, carefully analyzing. However, based on the current situation, there seemed to be no other way out for the Great Cloud.
"I second the motion!" The Grand Tutor stepped forward, taking a deep breath. Seeing that the Grand Commandant's old rival had spoken in support, the officials no longer feared retribution and bowed to the Great Cloud Human Emperor.
For a moment, the entire court was silent, eerily so. Everything now awaited the Human Emperor's decree on whether to borrow troops or not. The decision rested with the Human Emperor.
Yun Han was also sweating profusely, nervously swallowing.
"Grand Commandant, you shall represent the Great Cloud and be an envoy to the Azure Sky Imperial Dynasty. All conditions should prioritize the safe retreat of the Great Han!"
...
In a city on the western coast of the Sacred Origin Imperial Dynasty, which had been captured by the Great Han.
"Swish!"
Zhang Han lifted the commander's tent and strode in. Inside the command tent, Meng Tian, Han Qinghu, Chen Tang, and Wang Baobao were gathered around a sand table, on which the entire geographical layout of the Sacred Origin Imperial Dynasty was clearly displayed.
"How is it?"
Meng Tian looked up at Zhang Han as he entered and asked. The Sacred Origin Imperial Dynasty, compared to the Great Cloud Imperial Dynasty and the Blood Sun Imperial Dynasty, was stronger overall. Especially with the outbreak of the Imperial Dynasty War, only two first-layer Fusion Heaven realm experts had entered the battlefield, and the top combat forces of the entire Sacred Origin Imperial Dynasty had hardly been deployed.
"Reporting to the general, I was ordered to scout thirty li outside the city. I saw that in the northwest direction, thirty li away, the bloody aura was extremely dense, faintly showing the might of a Fusion Heaven realm expert. I immediately dispatched two scouts, disguised as ordinary civilians, to infiltrate the city to investigate. The city is garrisoned by the Sacred Origin Imperial Dynasty's army!"
Zhang Han clasped his fists, his expression solemn.
"General Meng, based on my analysis, this city must be the main force of the Sacred Origin Imperial Dynasty. The Imperial Dynasty War has reached a stalemate. Another month or so, and a victor will emerge. At that time, the Sacred Origin Imperial Dynasty will undoubtedly mobilize its entire strength to seize the fruits of victory. They would certainly not leave hidden dangers in their own rear."
"Win Zhong is quite cunning, using the Great Cloud Imperial Dynasty and the Blood Sun Imperial Dynasty to sow chaos in half of the human territory in the southwestern region. After this war, Win Zhong will inevitably unify the five imperial dynasties and become the undisputed overlord of the human territory!"
"Pity!"
"Pity!"
Han Qinghu examined the terrain between the two cities with a grim expression and said to the others. The Imperial Dynasty War was at a critical juncture. How could Win Zhong afford to lose such strategic gains? He would undoubtedly strike decisively to eliminate the invading Great Han. However, even with the might of the Sacred Origin, the Great Han could shatter them.
Meng Tian surveyed the surrounding terrain. There was no excellent place for an ambush. If they attacked head-on, the Great Han could win, but there would be casualties. He paced back and forth, stroking his chin.
"General Han, can we feign an attack, showing weakness to the enemy, and then, once they slightly relax their guard, you and General Chen Tang must intercept all of the enemy's Fusion Heaven realm experts. Then, our army will launch a fierce assault and annihilate this army in one fell swoop. Even if we cannot destroy the Sacred Origin, we must make them suffer a painful blow." Su Dan Novel Network.
Meng Tian said sternly. Han Qinghu and Chen Tang looked at the sand table and nodded. Minimizing casualties was the key to a great victory.
...
"Bang!"
"Win Zhong, that scoundrel, is even more vicious than that useless worm, his old man!"
The grand hall of the Blood Sun Imperial Dynasty's palace.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The Blood Sun Human Emperor's face was flushed with rage as he smashed various objects, cursing Win Zhong.
If anyone felt the most humiliated and disgraced, it was the Blood Sun Human Emperor. As the master of the Human Emperor Hall, due to a momentary impulse and the death of Marquis Zi Shan, he was eager to destroy the Great Han. Now, Win Zhong's alliance letter had caused his full fury to be directed towards his northern neighbor, the Heavenly Origin Imperial Dynasty.
Not long after the Imperial Dynasty War began, the Great Flame Human Emperor stripped him of his position as master of the Human Emperor Hall. This was unprecedented since the founding of the Human Emperor Hall, and his imperial prestige was completely lost.
Now, he was responsible for the entire Heavenly Origin battlefield. Win Zhong maneuvered around, never committing his full strength. By now, even a fool would have realized the truth.
However, he was in a better position than the Great Cloud Imperial Dynasty, at least he was only being attacked by the Great Han and the Heavenly Origin.
"Human Emperor!"
"According to reports from the west, the Vermilion Bird Legion led by Commander Zhang Liao continues to advance on the coastal cities. Perhaps within a few days, the entire western region will fall."
"Human Emperor!"
"That Tiger Marquis, Xu Chu, who wreaked havoc in the Sacred Origin Imperial Dynasty a few months ago, has entered the Fusion Heaven realm!"
Marquis Lie Feng's eyebrows trembled slightly. In less than three months, Xu Chu, who was once at the first layer of Heavenly Martial, had become a Fusion Heaven realm expert. This was something that had not happened in tens of thousands of years. In a few months, a major realm was broken through so easily? This was not comparable to masters of the Grandmaster or Divine Mansion realms. A major Heavenly Martial realm breakthrough, just like that?
"Damn it, this hateful Great Han! Ever since Marquis Zi Shan died in the Great Han territory, I have been plagued by disasters, step by step falling to become a laughingstock of the human territory in the southwestern region."
"Ten thousand years from now, how will future generations judge me? Damn it, damn it!"
The Blood Sun Human Emperor's expression was somber, radiating a faint red glow.
