Chapter 2223: Self-Satisfied Genesis Supreme!

An Lushan slowly turned to Genesis Supreme and the Divine Lords attending him.
An Lushan’s final words made everyone silently curse. After all those words, in the end, An Lushan was just flattering Genesis Supreme.
“Lord Protector-General, it seems like this lowly woman underestimated you. Everyone says that Lord Protector-General has a proud personality, but it seems like this was an exaggeration. Lord Protector-General, it seems like you’re even more formidable than all of us added together!” the Xi Queen said with a cold laugh.
An Lushan did not take this comment to heart. There was probably no one in the northeastern countries that did not know about the Xi Queen’s ability to make insinuations.
“Venerable One, what should we do now?” An Lushan directly asked Genesis Supreme.
“In seven days, we will utterly destroy that steel fortress to our south!” Genesis Supreme coldly said, getting straight to the point.
Everyone paled at these words.
Goguryeo Emperor Yeon Gaesomun hesitated before sternly saying, “But, Venerable One, the Great Tang’s steel fortress is far too tall and sturdy. Ordinary siege ladders don’t even reach halfway up the walls, making taking the walls a difficult venture. Moreover, in this period of time, we’ve tried many methods to destroy the outer walls, but all of them failed!
“Every foot of those walls has been implanted with ten times the number of inscriptions and formations walls normally have. As for their toughness, even precious swords and sabers can only leave a few faint scars, and this even damages the blades of the weapons.”
The greatest problem was not the powerful Tang soldiers, but those soaring walls. The alliance army primarily consisted of cavalry, and not even the most formidable cavalry could fly over the walls. As for infantry…
There was no empire in the world that could contend against the Great Tang’s infantry.
Without the walls hindering them, things would be much easier to resolve. At the very least, they would be much more confident in their chances of victory.
“There’s no need to worry yourself. This god has made plans for everything. In eight days, the fortress is certain to fall!” Genesis Supreme indifferently said, his eyes half-closed.
Genesis Supreme’s voice instantly silenced the hall, and everyone stared speechlessly at him.
Was Genesis Supreme saying that he had already found a way to breach the walls?
Everyone almost instinctively turned to An Lushan and Gao Shang.
These two were rather calm, their faces unperturbed. It seemed that they had known about this beforehand.
“Venerable One, be at ease. We will do everything in our power to cooperate. I am confident that everyone else will do the same, yes?”
An Lushan softly chuckled.
Everyone was taken aback, but they quickly responded.
“Yes!”
“We will naturally follow Venerable One’s lead!”
Everyone bowed.
At this point, they didn’t have many choices. Without Genesis Supreme’s help, the alliance would be no match for the Great Tang. Putting aside anything else, the removal of the formation around Youzhou would instantly cause grievous losses to the alliance.
They were now meat on the chopping block, and Genesis Supreme had invisibly taken control of the alliance.
While this meeting was called a ‘discussion’, Genesis Supreme had really summoned them to give orders. He had no plans to discuss anything with the alliance.
The meeting quickly ended, and the alliance quickly began to prepare for the battle in a few days.
……
As the alliance got to work, the steel fortress remained calm. It appeared that the Great Tang was not at all concerned by this unprecedented Great Ice Age and the alliance army.
Whoosh!
Howling winds swept over the world!
In the middle of the raging snowstorm, the soldiers of the alliance swiftly approached the fortress.
These were master scouts carefully selected from the ranks of the alliance. They were all Imperial Martial realm commanders, and even in this extreme cold, they could use their reserves of Stellar Energy to endure for at least two hours.
The Yeluohe were strong and did not fear the cold. In this weather, they were like fish in water. This should have made them the finest scouts, but in the end, the Yeluohe were lifeless creatures. Even if An Lushan could control the Yeluohe from a distance, his control was limited to ten-some Yeluohe, which was far too few.
In the end, actual humans were needed to gather intelligence.
The walls of the steel fortress were so imposing that their outlines were visible even in the middle of the snowstorm.
This wasn’t their first time seeing these walls. Ten-some days of constant scouting had made the alliance scouts extremely familiar with them.
