972 Cycle of Heaven Demon Slaying (1/2)
Yuanlian World, Great Gan Celestial Dynasty Lin Country border, millions of troops were gathered here spread out across the 60-mile country defense line.
From three days ago, the eastern country armies were slowly pressing over.
Great Gan was also forced to gather more troops over in this area.
The area here was a flat plain but it was shaped like a pear.
Once it was broken through, the alliance army would be able to surge in and directly attack the core area in the southwest.
This was why even if Zhuang Yu wasn't willing he had no choice but to gather all the troops here.
Millions of troops were facing off and many experts gathered here, causing the energy to surge into the heavens. The atmosphere was really tense and the aura of war charged into the clouds.
Hong Jiuchen was standing on the city wall of Moyang City, pumped up as he looked at the troops gathered below.
This was originally a small city at the border. Since Mufang took over, to defend against Great Gan, in a short year he made this place into a stronghold.
Hong Jiuchen didn't comment on that however he laughed to himself about Mufang's cowardice.
That year when he was in control of the mid plains of Yuanlian World, he never built strong cities and passes.
His millions of troops were enough to be like his great wall.
However, thinking to a few years ago when he was forced back in a haggard manner from Yuanlian World, he was speechless.
At that time, he was schemed against by Zong Shou. Decades of hard work were destroyed in just a moment.
If he was to fight with Zong Shou again, it might not be any better.
However, today he was still back. What followed him was the most elite Dao Soldiers of the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty!
A full 60,000 Nine Capital Dual Halberd Slaves, 20,000 Nine Capital Blood Archers, and a full 24,000 Nine Capital Domineering Cavalry Guards.
Just these 100,000 Dao Soldiers alone could crush all the millions of troops in Yuanlian World.
Apart from that…
He looked at the two sides from the corner of his eye.
Xuanling Guild and Jijue Celestial Dynasty each sent tens of thousands of Dao Soldiers. They too were elites that gave off sharp auras.
Although the 30,000 Huang Grade Dao Soldiers from Tianfang Guild were slightly weaker, they were skilled too and had some strength.
Hong Jiuchen shook his head, there was no joy in his chest.
He thought to himself that this time it really benefited Fuyue and Mufang.
For Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty to take over Yuanlian World, they would need to pay a heavier price than a few years ago.
They had to take out more small-sized worlds to calm down their allies. Fuyue and Mufang, these two would directly benefit.
He peaked over to see that those two couldn't suppress the joy on their faces.
Compared to the unwillingness of a few years ago and them even colluding with Zong Shou, they were two totally different people.
They were most probably satisfied…
Hong Jiuchen scoffed coldly in disdain, his heart was filled with nervousness. Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty paid such a heavy price, who knows how they were going to deal with this world after.
It would be extremely difficult for him to become the lord of this Yuanlian World.
There were many things that weren't said outright but through news and the rough words, he could understand.
This was to tell him to know his place and not ask for too much.
After sighing, Hong Jiuchen started to focus once more.
He knew that even if Yuanlian World was taken away by the Celestial Dynasty, he would be compensated. Then, it would be better than not getting anything at all.
His eyes turned even sharper as he looked across from him.
Compared to his gains, he cared more about what was going to happen to the person opposite!
If not for this kid, how would he have fallen to such a stage?
He had already hated Zong Shou to the bone.
Especially a month ago when he heard that he wanted Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty to take off his head, he hated him more and more!
He was also shocked. After all, he was the disciple of an End Realm, so even if he lost, his future was limitless.
If Zong Shou hated him and didn't stop at anything to kill him, the outcome would be catastrophic.
At that time, he felt like his life goal was to personally see Zong Shou die!
It was best that he would never be able to climb back up!
That would also totally end his future worries….
Thinking about this, he looked at the color of the sky. It was noon.
He couldn't help but squint, anticipation appearing on his face.
The half-day deadline the Nine Capital Emperor Lord gave was just two hours away.
Who knew what choice the Great Gan army would make?
Would he know his place and back out of Yuanlian to end this storm, or lower his head and hold on, fighting to the death and refuse to retreat?
The best case would be the latter. Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty had 100,000 Dao Soldiers and close to 100 ships. Along with the help from Xuanling Guild and Jijue Celestial Dynasty, they had a full 10 Saint Realm Experts gathered there.
They could destroy any power here!
No matter what ability Zong Shou had, he would have no way to block them at all!
However, thinking about it, this wasn't possible. As long as one wasn't really crazy and stupid, one wouldn't do that.
Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty sent so many troops here because they wanted to make him surrender without fighting.
Just as he thought about that, he heard a series of horns ring out in the distance and sound throughout the entire sky.
What followed was numerous smoke and dust which spread out throughout the sky.
Hong Jiuchen was shocked and looked over, only to see that dozens of tents opposite suddenly moved.
Suddenly, numerous soldiers left their tents and formed up.
They were really orderly like they were one entire being. Moments later, many square formations formed and appeared on the city wall, in the field of sight of everyone.
