Chapter 419: Interference of the Qiangan Kingdom
After the impact between Xiao Tian’s Heaven Tier Battle Skill and the eleven Heaven Saint Masters, the First Class City known as Benevolence City had several kilometers of their wall collapse. Not only were the casualties high, but if they did not spend several months rebuilding the wall, the city would be doomed for sure.
In this battle, the three Heaven Saint Masters from the Gesun Kingdom and Xiao Tian were all badly injured. But compared to the loss of the Blue Wind Kingdom, the Gesun Kingdom’s injuries were inconsequential. With seven Heaven Saint Masters dead and the remaining four fleeing from the city, the Blue Wind Kingdom’s army had no desire to stay behind as well. The loss weighed heavily on their morale, and without any Heaven Saint Masters to protect them, the army didn’t dare continue the invasion.
Benevolence City was a First Class City with the city lord’s mansion thirty kilometers away from any given entrance to the city. The commander of the army defending the city walls adopted the same methods from the western stronghold and transformed a nearby inn into a temporary strategy room.
Within the inn, the Gesun Kingdom’s Radiant Saint Masters were hurriedly trying to heal the four heavily injured Heaven Saint Masters.
Jian Chen’s status as an Imperial Protector was very high rank, therefore the general treated Jian Chen extremely well along with the commander of the army.
After a brief conversation with them, Jian Chen understood the current situation of the eastern stronghold. At times, he inquired about the Changyang clan but to his disappointment, instead of coming to the eastern stronghold, they were at another stronghold. Thus, Jian Chen’s attempt at seeing his family was fruitless once more.
At this moment, Jian Chen had a serious look on his face, “General Liu, how many Heaven Saint Masters does the Blue Wind Kingdom even have? There were eleven Heaven Saint Masters at the eastern stronghold, does that mean they sent every single one of them to attack?” General Liu was the highest ranking official of the eastern stronghold.
General Liu sighed for a moment before revealing a concerned look, “Honored Imperial Protector, this is an answer I do not have. From the eleven Heaven Saint Masters you saw, five of them were from the Qiangan Kingdom.”
“Qiangan Kingdom!” Jian Chen growled with a dangerous glint as he spoke, “Could it be that the Qiangan Kingdom has decided to throw their lot into this war?”
General Liu nodded grimly at Jian Chen, “That may be true. Although the Qiangan Kingdom has sent no army over, five of the Heaven Saint Masters you saw today were indeed from their kingdom.”
With this answer, Jian Chen went silent for a moment as he began to think. Occasionally, the glint in his eyes flashed ominously.
“General Liu, do you think you can tell me how many experts the Qiangan and Blue Wind Kingdom have and which ones were killed today?” Jian Chen’s voice was oddly monotonous.
Nodding, general Liu replied, “Honored Imperial Protector, after inspecting their clothes, we have determined that three of them are from the Qiangan Kingdom while the remaining four are from the Blue Wind Kingdom. The Blue Wind Kingdom should have eight Heaven Saint Masters, meaning there should theoretically be four left. The Qiangan Kingdom also has eight Heaven Saint Masters, meaning there should be five left.”
Jian Chen nodded his head as he pondered, “You needn’t worry about those Heaven Saint masters then. I will take care of them. General Liu, if there is nothing left to discuss, feel free to head out first.”
Without any hint of disappointment on his face, the general stood up from the table and bowed to Jian Chen. “Yes, honored Imperial Protector. If the Imperial Protector needs anything, please call upon Liu Mou.” With that, general Liu walked out of the room.
“Bang!”
Just as general Liu was about to leave the room, the door swung back open before falling off its hinges. In the next moment, a white blur shot into the room and onto Jian Chen’s chest.
