Three World Swordsman
192: Preparation for War
Five days had passed since Emperor Wu Jian got the Official Letter from Emperor Song He. The content of the letter was to ask Emperor Wu Jian to surrender and submit to the Song Empire.
In a sign that the Wu Empire was conquered, Song He asked Emperor Wu Jian to allow himself to marry Wu Mei.
If you are not willing to do so, then the Song Empire will deploy an army to attack the Wu Empire.
Emperor Wu Jian did not want to hand Princess Wu Mey over to Song He to be his concubine. Moreover, a few days ago his younger brother, had stated that he and Drug King Yao Fu had been in a relationship as lovers.
The emperor told his ministers that he chose not to submit to the Song Empire, despite war as a bet.
None of the Ministers were willing to submit to Emperor Song He, so they supported the Young Emperor wholeheartedly.
Even all the ministers agreed to join the war when they heard Emperor Wu Jian would lead the battle. No one was ignorant of the prowess of Emperor Wu Jian who was extremely skilled in war strategy.
After that day, the Wu Empire was immediately preoccupied with War preparations. Even the residents helped especially in the logistics section.
Not only did the residents in the Imperial capital help, the residents in the seven previously attacked Cities took part in the preparations.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were deployed to the border where Xiangjin Fortress would be the center of defense for the Wu Empire's forces.
Tomorrow is the day the battle will begin. Yu Ma and Emperor Wu Jian, along with Yu Lian, were seen observing thousands of tents a kilometer before them.
The three of them were currently on top of the Xiangjin defensive fortification wall to observe the enemy's movements.
The tents seen by them were the camp tents of the Song Empire army which numbered over two hundred thousand soldiers.
"Ayahanda ... Why does Ayahanda look agitated?"
Emperor Wu Jian asked Yu Ma who looked agitated. Yu Ma only smiled at the words of his daughter-in-law.
"No ... It's nothing, I'm just restless because your brother Yao Chan hasn't come yet."
Yu Ma could not cover his anxiety over Yao Chan's information about the existence of an opponent figure that was much stronger than him back then.
All war strategies as great as anything will fall apart if the figure intervenes directly. Even the war would have ended that day if it had really happened.
Emperor Wu Jian sighed, confirming his father-in-law's words. While Yu Lian looked annoyed, either to whom, to Yao Chan or to her Husband who forbade her to go down directly in battle tomorrow.
As he wanted to say further, it came from two opposite directions of the fortress, the Medicine God, Gui Han and Yao Fu. While from the opposite side, it looks Guo Jin, Xin Jia and the Western Poison God along with his grandson Qing Mi.
Their arrival with a face that looked anxious made the three people feel astonished, a bad feeling penetrated the minds of the three.
"Grandpa what's the problem? why does Grandpa's face look so anxious?"
Yu Lian could no longer hold back her curiosity and directly asked Guo Jin when they had reached the three.
"Lian'er ... Did you not feel a moment ago the enormous energy radiating from the direction of the thousands of tents there?"
Guo Jin answered Yu Lian's question, wondering why Yu Lian and Yu Ma couldn't feel such powerful qi energy radiating for a few seconds.
Yu Ma and Yu Lian shook their heads slowly. Guo Jin became astonished, why the two of them could not feel that way.
"The energy of their qi was still a little, so they could not clearly sense the radiance of the enemy qi energy earlier."
The voice of Fu Mao the Medicinal God was heard answering Guo Jin's confusion. Hearing that, Guo Jin nodded his head.
As it was late afternoon and soon became night, Emperor Wu Jian decided to discuss this in the meeting hall of the fort.
Finally they also talked in a large room that was prepared as a meeting place for military officials when this war took place.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are seen to have prepared in their respective places. About fifty thousand troops were inside the Xiangjin Fortress.
They were infantrymen whose soldiers were armed with swords and spears. Ten thousand archers were on top of the fort.
Seen several heavy weapons, large stones and hundreds of barrels filled with oil have been available above the fortress, especially above the gate.
While behind the fort walls, Fifty thousand cavalry had prepared, they would attack from both the left and right sides of the fort after getting the signal to move.
In addition there were tens of thousands of other soldiers still in the tent, they were second-tier infantry troops who were new soldiers who had no combat experience.
Some take care of the logistics of partially preparing war equipment such as arrows and bows.
In the highest part of the fortress, Emperor Wu Jian had prepared with his Armor Armor. Same with General Yu Ma.
Only those from the martial world did not wear armor. They were Guo Jin, Xin Jia, Duan Xing the Western Poison God, Qing Mi, Fu Mao the Medicine God, Gui Han.
Yu Lian who finally forced to join the fight was finally allowed by Emperor Wu Jian, realizing Yao Chan had not arrived at this time. Participating Yu Lian could increase the strength of the Wu Empire's warrior group.
In addition to the thousand members of the Valley of Gods sect who were at the forefront of the soldiers, the, there were ten small sects of the white sect who helped by sending at least a potion of Experts and Titles who were the elders of the sect and its members.
Those of the swordsmen did not wear armor, so their existence was seen easily from a height.
While in front of them a hundred thousand enemy soldiers had prepared to charge into Xiangjin fortress.
"Darling ... Are we going to keep releasing the Demon Lions to destroy the mentality of those Wu soldiers and raise the fighting spirit of our troops"
The Black Fairy asked the Black Devil who had possessed Song He's body a moment ago. Both were in the air and drifting low.
"Of course, the Demon Lions will advance first to destroy the gates of their fortress, then the troops who have drunk the water from the musty soak of the Heart of Demons will follow behind him. That way they could kill enemies and replenish the power of the Mustika Heart Demon quickly, even if they themselves were dead, the Mustika Heart Demon would absorb their spirit energy. That way we can open the Moxian World Space dimensional Gate quickly."
The black devil chuckled after uttering the grand plan he had put together by utilizing Song He's figure and his status as an Emperor.
Song He's consciousness, which is in his own body, tries to rebel to take over his consciousness after finding out he has been framed by the Black Devil.
However the power of the Black demon that had increased, made Song He powerless to take back his consciousness.
The Black Fairy immediately opened the door of a small cage where a lion was inside.
After the cat-sized lion demon came out of confinement and set its foot on the ground, the Black Fairy read a spell to open the bracelet around her neck.
After the bracelet slipped from its neck, the Lion Demon Body expanded to its original size by ten meters high and twenty meters long.
The Black Fairy immediately ordered the Demon Lions to attack the six-meter wide gate of the fortress so that the soldiers of the Song Empire could storm into the fortress.
The Lion Demon immediately shot out swiftly towards the gate of Xiangjin fortress which was five hundred meters in front of him.
The enormous size of the Demon Lion's body clearly visible from the top of the fortress made Emperor Wu Jian realize quickly that the Demon was going to destroy the Gate of the Fort, because behind the Demon, it was, tens of thousands of soldiers moved towards the fort.
"Dad, those demons will they use to destroy the gate of the fortress, we have to stop him. I'll have the archers and the oil sprinklers ready."
Emperor Wu Jian looked panicked knowing this, but Yu Ma calmed him down. Yu Ma immediately looked towards Yu Lian and then nodded his head.
A second later Yu Lian shot into the air with a worried look from her husband Emperor Wu Jian.
