Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!-Chapter 436 - 297 War God

"Report!"

A voice urgently called out, breaking the stillness of the court, followed by the sight of a soldier with bloodstained armor, kneeling on one knee, and speaking rapidly.

"Your Majesty, the Taixuan Dynasty has launched a surprise attack on Tiankui Prefecture. Thirty-six cities have already fallen. Our forces have suffered heavy casualties, with no fewer than ten million soldiers killed in battle. I implore Your Majesty to make a decision!"

At these words.

The court fell into a shocked silence, everyone’s face showing expressions of disbelief.

"Tiankui Prefecture is the gateway to Guxing State, heavily guarded, how could it fall so quickly with thirty-six cities conquered!"

"Although the Taixuan Dynasty and our Star Dynasty have had long-standing frictions, they have never escalated to outright war. Why would the Taixuan Dynasty take such action?"

Hearing the soldier’s words, their first reaction was disbelief.

There was no way.

The three million years of foundation of the Star Dynasty was enough to intimidate many forces into staying away.

Even an Imperial Dynasty dared not arbitrarily start a war lightly.

If the two Imperial Dynasties went to war, it would be a catastrophic calamity, causing countless cultivator casualties, and even the victor would pay a heavy price.

Moreover.

The Star Dynasty’s total occupation of Guxing State included three thousand six hundred prefectures. Tiankui Prefecture was the gateway, defended by elite forces that could hold off any strong enemies, certainly not falling so quickly.

"If Tiankui Prefecture has fallen, why haven’t we received any messages!"

Upon the Emperor’s Throne, Lu Zhen’s countenance turned as dark as water, seemingly ready to execute the soldier if he could not provide an explanation.

The man truthfully replied, "The Taixuan Dynasty used a Silence Array to block communication, then dispatched a large army to besiege, and strong experts hunted down our communication soldiers along the way. Among three thousand messengers, only I managed to break through!"

"How audacious!"

Lu Zhen was furious.

Silence Array!

He hadn’t expected the Taixuan Dynasty to go this far.

This also explained why there was no news of Tiankui Prefecture’s fall.

Immediately.

Lu Zhen gripped the Imperial Seal, pouring terrifying blood and Qi into it. Instantly, divine light soared into the sky, ancient stars appeared as brilliant suns, and endless fog in the firmament was dispersed by the Great Sun’s glow.

However, as the mist cleared, a Nine-grade Green Lotus appeared in the void. Upon closer inspection, one could see eight solid petals with only one somewhat illusory.

Seeing this.

Lu Zhen’s face turned even grimmer.

"Heavenly secrets obscured!"

"No wonder I couldn’t detect anything suspicious!"

For an Imperial Dynasty like the Qi Fortune Dynasty, any invasion and fall of their land would surely disturb the court’s Qi Fortune. As the controller of the Qi Fortune, Lu Zhen should have noticed immediately.

Yet, the Star Dynasty’s Qi Fortune had been stable as Taishan, with no signs of change.

In hindsight.

The Taixuan Dynasty’s expert had obscured the heavenly secrets, preventing the Star Dynasty’s Qi Fortune from sensing Tiankui Prefecture’s change, keeping Lu Zhen, the Emperor Venerate of the Star Dynasty, in the dark.

Now that Lu Zhen had broken the secret, everything was revealed to him.

However, he couldn’t comprehend why the Taixuan Dynasty would go mad and wage war against the Star Dynasty at this time.

Didn’t they know that if both Dynasties went to war, countless beings would suffer?

At this moment.

A minister stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, although we do not know why the Taixuan Dynasty moved their army, the invasion of Tiankui Prefecture is a fact. I believe we should immediately send reinforcements to prevent Tiankui Prefecture from falling into the hands of the Taixuan Dynasty!"

"I second that!"

Other ministers nodded in agreement.

Guxing State’s three thousand six hundred prefectures were all vital.

Though losing one Tiankui Prefecture wouldn’t deeply harm the Star Dynasty, its fall would mean losing a critical gateway in Guxing State, allowing the Taixuan Dynasty to sweep through and capture other prefectures.

Upon hearing these words.

Lu Zhen dared not hesitate and promptly ordered in a stern voice.

"Yang Xuan!"

With these words.

A middle-aged man stepped forward. His appearance was ordinary, eyes indifferent, exuding an aura of lifelessness.

"Present!"

"I command you to lead the Seven Killings Army to Tiankui Prefecture immediately and ensure that the Taixuan Dynasty does not return!"

"I obey!"

Yang Xuan cupped his hands and took the order, then turned and departed.

As they watched him leave, the ministers involuntarily showed expressions of awe.

"War God Yang Xuan!"

In Huaibei City, Wang Junze read the message from a Communication Jade Token, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"Let’s see if this so-called War God, the number one King General, is as terrifying as rumored!"

War God Yang Xuan!

The top-ranked general among the thirty-six King Generals.

He had once demolished a three hundred thousand-strong army with only three thousand cavalry, then ventured alone deep into enemy territory, capturing the capital of a Dynasty and annihilating its Imperial Family.

That battle.

Had cemented Yang Xuan’s reputation as the War God.

Such a person was well-known to Wang Junze.

However.

Despite acknowledging Yang Xuan’s fearsome capabilities, Wang Junze felt no fear.

Just right.

Wang Junze also wanted to see how skilled the rumored number one general truly was.

When other generals heard the name Yang Xuan, their expressions grew serious, and many even turned pale, obviously daunted by the name.

"Yang Xuan is coming, then I shall give him a surprise. Pass the order, consolidate the army, and I want to bring down thirty-six cities within seven days!"
