The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 1058
Although Hu Feiyun disliked Zhao Lun because of her relationship with Ling Han, she was still a very easy person who did not hold grudges — she had forgotten Zhao Lun a long time ago. He was a little confused as he looked at her, and asked, "Who are you?"
Pu's!
Zhao Lun was so angry that she almost vomited blood. "Because of you, I was vilely insulted by Ling Han, yet you completely forgot who I am?"
However, he could not bring out his anger at Hu Feiyun no matter how angry she was. He could only reply, "I am Zhao Lun, the son of Supreme General Zhao."
"Oh." Hu Feiyun nodded, and did not say anything.
Zhao Lun was left in a very awkward position — would be awkward if she stood up, but it would also be awkward if she stayed seated. All he could do was say, "This branch is willing to lead the army into battle and gain glory for His Majesty!" He took the opportunity to stand while talking.
The main general of the Eastern Rain Country was an elite at the highest level of the Sun Moon Tier. This cultivation level was two minor levels above Zhao Lun, so there was no need for him to pay attention to Zhao Lun's words. However, Zhao Lun was the only child of Great General Zhao, and his suggestion was also in line with the general's own thinking.
Therefore, the general quickly nodded, and said, “Heir Zhao is indeed wise and courageous. It seems like Heir Zhao has inherited the great behavior of Great General Zhao! ”
Zhao Lun was very satisfied after hearing this because she also liked to compare herself to her father. However, even though he was satisfied, he still humbly said, "Oh, you flatter me, General."
Meanwhile, Hu Feiyun had no complaints about Zhao Lun's suggestion. He had no talent in leading an army into battle, and thus he was happy for others to take this burden from him. He handed over military leadership to Zhao Lun. He was a level seven military officer, so he naturally had the right to lead the troops.
Zhao Lun and the generals from the Eastern Rain Country began to discuss the details of their attack. He was not a submissive; under the influence of Great General Zhao, he was extremely talented in terms of warfare. After all, this was the actual first battle, and the reality was very different from the theory. Even so, he did not change his wisdom and continued to be a chair strategist.
The generals of the Eastern Rain Country did not mind at all. He couldn't be happier if more students from the academy died. Only then would the Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire send an even stronger army. Otherwise, the Eastern Rain Country would suffer great losses even if they could force the Golden Lion Nation to retreat.
They devised a plan in which Zhao Lun would lead an army and launch a surprise attack, thus sending the Golden Lion Nation encampment into chaos. After that, the soldiers from the Eastern Rain Country would take the opportunity to cross the river and land a killing blow.
After agreeing to this plan, Zhao Lun began to select members for the attacking forces.
Quality was more important than quantity, and if there were too many people, the enemies across the river would definitely find their moves.
Only the most powerful students would be selected, and the size of the attacking force was only around 1000 or so.
Theoretically, Ling Han wasn't strong enough to be chosen. However, his name surprisingly appeared on the list.
It was clear that Zhao Lun was pushing him into danger.
Even though Zhao Lun's actions were brash, who could blame her for her decision? He fought for the empire, yet you still want to grumble and complain?
After knowing this, Shui Yanyu wanted to visit Hu Feiyun and tell her to revoke Zhao Lun's orders. However, Ling Han shook his head and did not allow it. He wanted to cross the river and look at the other side.
Originally, he had not known much about the Golden Lion Nation. However, he had gathered quite a lot of information over the past few days.
The Golden Lion Nation was no stronger than the Eastern Rain Country, with both countries roughly as powerful. Thus, even if the Eastern Rain Country was shocked, it was impossible for them to lose 14 cities in a row.
Except ... Eternity Sky Majestic Empire has a hand in all of this.
But the question is: why?
These two small countries acted as a buffer zone for both Imperial Kingdoms. The reason for their existence exceeded the reason for their destruction. This is also the reason why many small countries can survive and exist.
However, if the Eternity Sky Majestic Empire was behind all of this, what was their reason?
Do they want to spark an all-out war with the Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire?
Moreover, the army from the Golden Lion Nation suddenly stopped advancing after reaching the furious river. Although the barrier of nature could be the reason, Ling Han felt that the goal of the Golden Lion Country was simply to seize territory north of that ferocious river. They had no interest in crossing the river and capturing more land.
After all, the Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire would never allow the Eastern Rain Country to be conquered. How could the Golden Lion Nation not realize this? After the Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire sent out an army, they finally had to spit out all the land they had swallowed.
Unless…!
Perhaps the goal of the Golden Lion Nation was to never seize more land!
As for what their true reason was, Ling Han of course did not know. He would only be able to find out if he crossed the river to investigate himself.
As such, Ling Han was not opposed to being a member of the attacking force. After all, he was a soldier now, so he obviously could not go anywhere he wanted. However, this would all change if he joined the attacking forces. He could pretend to be separated from the troops, which would allow him to venture deeper into enemy territory and conduct investigations.
Ling Han had the Black Tower, so he was not worried about his own safety.
She carefully explained this to Shui Yanyu, and she nodded in agreement, knowing full well that she would not be able to stop him.
"Follow the Ninth King closely. That way, you won't face any great danger, "press Ling Han. She and Shui Yanyu were both members of the army now. In other words, they definitely could not act personally. Otherwise, they would risk being punished by the army.
Shui Yanyu was a little surprised. "Although Hu Feiyun had a high status, her battle prowess was not that impressive."
"Trust me. If you find any danger, you should not leave the Ninth King's side. The battle prowess that this woman can wield goes far beyond your imagination. "Ling Han only warned her, but did not tell her the truth.
He was almost killed by Empress Luan Xing after learning of the secret between him and the Ninth King. Therefore, it was better that he did not reveal his secret to Shui Yanyu in order not to make them more troubled.
Shui Yanyu nodded gently, and replied, "Mm-hm!"
"Wife, why don't we have children? Just in case I can't go back, "Ling Han's hands start to get naughty.
Shui Yanyu immediately rolled his eyes at her, and scolded, "Don't blame yourself!" He pushed Ling Han aside before turning around and fleeing.
Meanwhile, Zhao Lun stood on top of a plateau outside the camp with her hands clasped behind her back. Having a divine sense as strong as he did, he was naturally able to watch every corner of the camp. A cold smile appeared on his face.
‘Ling Han, don't think of making him come back to life this time!’
After a night of rest, Zhao Lun and the invading force left early in the morning. They would skirt around the main battlefield and navigate their way around the scouts of the Golden Lion Nation. They would then cross the ferocious river and use the darkness of night as cover as they launched a surprise attack on the Golden Lion Nation's campground.
Although the darkness of the night did not affect cultivators, most ordinary people still had the habit of sleeping at night. Thus, surprise attacks are still most effective when launched under night cover.
An elite assault force of 1000 strong troops set off, and began to cross the furious river after traveling several hundred kilometers.
There are a total of five ships, with each capable of carrying 20 people at a time. The entire assault force was transported across the river after 10 trips.
"Huh?"
"Hmm?"
"Aah!"
They all cried out in amazement after crossing the river. This was because the ground on this side of the river was emitting a dense air of death.
The ground was barren, and all the trees and flowers withered and died. In fact, even the chirping and buzzing of insects could not be heard.
Not a single bird was visible in the air.
This piece of land was as dead as it was dead.
"Heir Zhao, this place is too scary. Should we report this to the main camp first? ”The student who spoke was a supporter of Zhao Lun, which is why she dared to speak at this moment.
