The Luo Yue Human King stared furiously at the officials below.
"Your Majesty, the Great Han cavalry has already broken through Bei Hu Mountain Pass and will march north soon. In my humble opinion, we should borrow troops from the Mo Luo Dynasty for aid!"
A minister, with a grave expression but without any panic or sense of crisis, spoke with sharp eyes, looking at the Luo Yue Human King on his throne.
"Your Majesty, the ruler of the Mo Luo Dynasty is of the Dragon Elephant clan, inherently powerful, possessing top-tier Ling Hai realm experts. Furthermore, the Mo Luo Dynasty is backed by the Du and Ling families, two of the ten top influential families of the Sheng Yuan Imperial Dynasty. Even if the Mo Luo Dynasty is defeated, with the Du and Ling families standing by, what can the Great Han do to us!"
"Your Majesty!"
An official, a thousand feet tall, stepped forward and said softly, "Although the Great Han has some connection with the second and seventh princes of the Sheng Yuan Imperial Dynasty, the whispers from the Imperial Dynasty suggest that the Human Emperor does not seem to take this matter seriously, leaving it entirely to the princes to handle.
"In my humble opinion, the Human Emperor intends to use this opportunity to select a qualified Human Emperor for Sheng Yuan. Analyzing this, the second and seventh princes will certainly not back down and will surely annihilate the Great Han in one fell swoop!"
"Your Majesty, we only need to do our best to defend the capital and select an envoy to the Mo Luo Dynasty for aid. With both strategies in hand, our Luo Yue will surely be safe!"
"I second this motion!"
"I second this motion!"
"I second this motion!"
The silent civil and military officials, as if having grasped a lifeline, hurriedly opened their mouths, all kneeling on their knees, awaiting the Luo Yue Human King's decision.
After hearing their analysis, the Luo Yue Human King felt a slight relief, relieved that there was still a way to survive. However, alongside this relief, there was more helplessness and worry.
The Mo Luo Dynasty was a nation of demonic beasts, bloodthirsty and cruel. Especially within the territory of the Mo Luo Dynasty, most humans were herded like livestock, serving as food for the royal family and their ministers.
Borrowing troops from the Mo Luo Dynasty, the Mo Luo Human King would certainly agree to send troops, but the price for him would undoubtedly cripple his kingdom!
The Mo Luo were not interested in spirit treasures. They would undoubtedly open their blood-soaked mouths and extort hundreds of thousands of humans to serve as their sustenance.
After all, in the Mo Luo Dynasty, apart from powerful human forces, most of the population had been bred and raised for tens of thousands of years. To them, the herded humans had lost their original flavor.
"Alas!"
The Luo Yue Human King sighed.
"This matter will be handled by the two of you!"
As if his endless lifespan had been drained, his body appeared somewhat aged and weary after he spoke.
Whether the Mo Luo Dynasty's intervention would be a blessing or a curse for him was unknown!
...
Bei Ming Dynasty.
"General Xu, another three hundred forty li ahead is the teleportation location designated by the Human King Mang of the Xuan Yuan Dynasty ten thousand years ago."
Amidst a mountain range spanning thousands of li in the Bei Ming Dynasty, a vast army advanced through the forests.
At this moment, the mountains and forests were filled with billowing dust, with panicked demonic beasts fleeing everywhere. A dense aura of blood and killing permeated the air, causing these demonic beasts to be extremely fearful.
Xu Sheng, a first-rank general of the Bei Ming Dynasty, whose cultivation had reached the sixth layer of the Ling Hai realm, ranked second among the Bei Ming generals and was highly valued by the Bei Ming Human King.
Xu Sheng frowned, carefully listening to his subordinate's report. The news of the sudden annihilation of the Yan Yang Dynasty, Tian Feng Dynasty, and Ao Long Dynasty had reached the Bei Ming court, causing an uproar.
The sudden destruction of the three dynasties, and that too by forces from the Tian Yue region, was far more ferocious and powerful than the Xuan Yuan Dynasty of ten thousand years ago.
The Bei Ming Human King immediately ordered strict vigilance over the mountain range where the Xuan Yuan Dynasty had descended ten thousand years ago. The Great Han's sudden annihilation of the three dynasties made him immediately recall that Human King Mang had attacked the Bei Ming Dynasty through a teleportation array ten thousand years ago, nearly destroying Bei Ming. Within a mere year, three Bei Ming Human Kings had died!
Just as Xu Sheng received his orders and was about to depart, another piece of news escalated the sense of crisis to its peak.
The Great Han had repelled the second and seventh princes of the Sheng Yuan Imperial Dynasty, and had even killed two Ling Zun realm experts!
Ling Zun!
Such power was rarely possessed by dynasty-level forces!
Xu Sheng, astride his warhorse, tightened his grip on his saber. The prestige of the Great Han was rapidly rising, and even the second and seventh princes had suffered significant losses. How could he afford to be careless?
Looking around, he saw the elite troops of the Bei Ming Dynasty stretching as far as the eye could see, an army estimated to be around two hundred thousand strong.
The Bei Ming soldiers, with stern expressions, used their sharp blades to dispel the endless killing intent emanating from them, thereby driving away the demonic beasts in the forest.
The two hundred thousand strong army consisted of soldiers almost exclusively at the second layer of the Innate realm, representing the most elite troops of the Bei Ming Dynasty, led by its most outstanding and trusted generals.
Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes, gazing ahead, "Accelerate the advance!"
This time, he intended to maintain a heavy defense. Any Great Han soldiers who dared to step into Bei Ming through the teleportation array would be annihilated.
...
"Bang!"
A thunderous roar echoed from the Nan Ye Dynasty's royal palace, shaking the entire grand hall.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger, Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"
An official's face was tense, and his speech was faltering. On the throne, the Nan Ye Human King, his face contorted with ferocity and his eyes flashing with malice.
The Great Han, a dynasty that had only recently come into his view, had, before he could even react, sent a hundred thousand Great Han soldiers into the eastern region of Nan Ye. In a single day, they had captured several cities. If the local warriors resisted, the Lie Tian Si Legion would not hesitate to massacre the city.
Within a single day, several cities had been turned into seas of blood. The commander of the Lie Tian Si Legion, Ying Bu, had issued chilling pronouncements:
"Wherever the Great Han's sword points, that land shall be Great Han's territory, and its people shall be Great Han's subjects. Those with disloyal hearts shall all be executed, and the cities shall be razed!!" Su Dan Novel Network
After massacring several cities, Ying Bu had established a fearsome reputation akin to a divine demon from the nine netherworlds. Wherever his army marched, cities opened their gates.
Within a single night, the entire eastern region was paralyzed.
"What do you suggest we do?"
The Nan Ye Human King was somewhat immature, having only recently ascended to the position of Human King. The strongest individual in the Nan Ye Dynasty, the previous Human King, had died of an old illness. The authority of the throne had directly fallen to the new Human King's maternal uncle, Liu Tian, the Grand General of the Nan Ye Dynasty and the current strongest individual in Nan Ye, with a cultivation of the eighth layer of the Ling Hai realm.
As soon as the Human King finished speaking, all the officials turned their gazes towards Liu Tian, who was sitting steadily with his eyes closed.
The Nan Ye Human King trembled slightly. He had never witnessed such a grand assembly before, his face pale. "Uncle, Uncle!"
"What's all the fuss about!"
Liu Tian's eyes snapped open instantly, and a storm of primal energy swept through the entire royal palace hall.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The officials were startled and terrified, quickly prostrating themselves in panic, daring not to utter a single word.
At this moment, where was the authority of the Human King in the Nan Ye court?
