Chapter 808: Chapter 496: Grand Lord’s Joint Attack_2

The second, was the puppet king Guangxu held in her grasp.

The first was the basis and deterrence with which the old crone was able to traverse the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty and control such a vast territory.

The second was the foundation of the old crone’s worry-free security.

From the moment the old crone entered the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty, there had never been less than thirty thousand Fifth Tier Epic Warriors around her at any time.

And Guangxu, whom she treated as her trump card, was surrounded by at least ten thousand Epic Warriors for protection.

...

Now the old crone had lost two territories, especially the Pan Shi City territory, which involved extremely rare mineral deposits.

This was absolutely intolerable to the old crone.

Thus, it was inevitable that the other side would dispatch a fifty thousand strong epic army to attack the Death Lord.

The eight Grand Lords were waiting for the result of this battle.

They did not expect Zi Liyuan to win, but even if the outcome was mutually destructive, they could accept it.

They had never expected that the Death Lord would perform so well, almost wiping out fifty thousand epic troops without a scratch!

It was the emergence of this intelligence that finally resolved the wavering stance of the eight Grand Lords on whether to launch a full rebellion.

The old crone’s direct ten thousand epic army was left with only four thousand, so what was there to fear?

Among the eight Grand Lords, if divided, each would only face five thousand epic.

Which of them didn’t have five thousand EPIC warriors as their trump card?

As for the army of more than one million seven hundred thousand Fourth Tier Professionals, there were quite a few.

But allocated among the eight Grand Lords, it was just over two hundred thousand each.

Which among the eight had less than five hundred thousand troops at their disposal?

Not even a single Fourth Tier army was less than two hundred thousand strong!

With such strength, the eight Grand Lords unitedly challenged the old crone outright.

Now, their only fear was the old crone using Guangxu’s hand to draw national fortune, enhance and strengthen, temporarily breaking through tiers to increase combat power.

And to break this link, the best way was to eliminate Guangxu!

This puppet king’s power was only at the peak of Fourth Tier, and eliminating him wasn’t difficult.

The difficulty lay in the fact that the old crone’s people guarded him.

Normally, there’s supervision by ten thousand Fifth Tier Epics, but now with the old crone suffering heavy losses, she would surely redeploy large numbers of personnel.

The supervision around Guangxu would inevitably be at its lowest.

“I can send one early Sixth Tier Venerable One, twenty-five peak-tier Epics.”

“I can send one mid-Sixth Tier Venerable One, twenty-five peak-tier Epics.”

“One early Sixth Tier Venerable One, twenty-five peak-tier Epics.”

…

Each reported their numbers, with the more well-resourced Grand Lords able to deploy stronger forces.

Those without the capability to send Sixth Tier Venerable Ones dispatched at least one hundred peak-tier Fifth Tier Epics.

Together, the eight could muster five Sixth Tier Legendaries.

Among them were one late-stage, one mid-stage, and three early-stage Legendary Lords.

A total of five hundred Fifth Tier Epics were combined.

This was an immensely powerful force, and this group was dispatched to the main city where the old crone resided—Heavenly Phoenix City.

In the prosperous city lay an extremely filthy secret.

This immense power was arranged to enter the city unnoticed, without encountering any checks or inquiries.

It must be said that those corrupt officials, after receiving benefits, worked with true efficiency.

Even though they knew there were issues, they calmly collected benefits and turned a blind eye to problems.

One must admit, this was well-handled!

Next, it would depend on how those bribed officials would coax the old crone to dispatch more of the Fifth Tier Epics.

At least thirty thousand out of the forty thousand needed to be deployed for them to dare take action.

Otherwise, it would be a senseless death.

…

Heavenly Phoenix City, Yulan Hall.

The old crone sat on the dragon throne, her eyes long burning with anger, Evil Qi swirling around her, devoid of her usual grace and majesty.

At this moment, she was practically a ferocious spirit eager to devour people.

No wonder she was furious: in just two months, the one hundred thousand strong Fifth Tier epic army was reduced to just forty thousand.

It was as if their trump card in her hand was more than half wasted!

“The Death Lord has captured three border cities and is slowly advancing.

Eight Grand Lords have also simultaneously raised armies in rebellion, pressing tighter and tighter.

Excuse me, ministers, offer your strategies, how should we respond?”

Suppressing the urge to kill, her voice, icy cold with bone-chilling intent, involuntarily caused the many kneeling ministers below to shudder.

“Old Buddha, the plan now is to dispatch the army, raid their lairs, first sweep out the eight Grand Lords, then find a way to deal with the Death Lord.”

“Indeed, the Death Lord is a significant threat. With our current strength, the only way to suppress them is for Old Buddha to personally take action.”

“Right, so we should first eliminate the eight Grand Lords. Only when these fellows dare not resist can we gather all forces to suppress the Death Lord.”

The ministers exchanged glances, seeing something in each other’s eyes.

Then, they eloquently fleshed out this narrative, collectively convincing the Old Buddha to deploy powerful troops.

Efficiently crush all eight Grand Lords, making them realize the Old Buddha’s profound underlying power, prompting them to submit honestly.

“If that’s the case, then deploy thirty thousand Fifth Tier Epics and one hundred and twenty thousand Fourth Tier Professional troops. Let local garrisons fully cooperate in swiftly and efficiently exterminating the eight transgressing rebels!”

With a single command from the Old Buddha, the one hundred and twenty thousand strong army and thirty thousand strong epic troops were immediately set to march, advancing from all directions.

The one hundred twenty thousand strong army was divided into eight units, supporting the borders and stalling the armies of the eight Grand Lords.

The thirty thousand strong epic troops acted simultaneously, with ten thousand per unit, executing a decapitation strategy on the eight Grand Lords.

One must admit, the plan was excellent, concentrating high-end power for a thunderous strike.

Unfortunately, this was the intentional flaw exposed by Ouyang Pojun and his party, meant to lure out the Fifth Tier Epic Warriors stationed in Heavenly Phoenix City.

There was only ten thousand tasked with guarding the old crone and Guangxu, evenly distributed, that meant one for every five thousand.

Including some Fourth Tier guards, there were at most over ten thousand.

The advanced team that had infiltrated Heavenly Phoenix City could directly confront a Three-Clawed Blood Dragon while simultaneously executing the decapitation plan with four individuals.

Both sides had a decapitation plan, but one was guilefully calculated and the other thoroughly detailed.

It was clear to see how vast the disparity between the two sides was.

And so, they waited for seven days.

Those bribed officials leaked the route of the thirty thousand strong epic army.

The eight Grand Lords gathered all remaining high-end forces in their possession, also numbering over thirty thousand Fifth Tier Epics, intercepting the old crone’s special army.

A battle didn’t break out but a standoff emerged.

The old crone’s subordinates were not confident in killing the opponents.

The eight Grand Lords deliberately delayed time.

Practically on the same day, the spies long arranged by the eight Grand Lords risked their lives to disclose Guangxu’s location in Heavenly Phoenix City.

The operation began immediately.

Five hundred epic warriors spread out, causing chaos throughout the city, disrupting city order and attracting the attention of the city garrison and the ten thousand epics.

Five Legendary Lords sneaked quietly towards Guangxu’s location at Yulan Hall.

Security here was still extremely tight.

Five thousand Fourth Tier guards completely surrounded the exterior of this palace.

Inside the main hall, two thousand Fifth Tier Epics guarded various key positions.

No less than five hundred were ambushed within a two hundred meter radius around Guangxu.

No matter how chaotic the city was, this place was not affected in the slightest.

Clearly, the troops guarding here all had the old crone’s orders to ensure Guangxu’s safety alone.

Unless ordered by the old crone, they didn’t need to worry about anything else!

Were it not for the old crone’s forces having suffered heavy losses from Zi Liyuan, leading to severe casualties, even more protective forces would have been stationed around Guangxu!
