Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 600 - 353 The First Phase of the War Concludes_3

"This world is truly about to change."

"In the future, any dynasty that lacks a Celestial will surely face destruction. Grandmasters will no longer be the pillars of a nation; instead, Celestials will take their place and become the new foundation of a country or dynasty." ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"Thankfully, North Country possesses a Celestial!"

Mu Changtian felt an immense relief that they had gone to North Country. It seemed that with the Celestial of North Country, it wouldn't be long before they could unify the world, and the North Prince would become the lord of all.

Perhaps it was his overly joyous mood, but suddenly, Mu Changtian felt the skill within him growing rapidly. However, before he could say anything to Wenren Lie beside him, a surge of power burst forth from Wenren Lie's body, sweeping past everyone.

The next moment, Mu Changtian realized that the martial presence emanating from Wenren Lie was significantly stronger than his own.

But Wenren Lie's expression showed no change whatsoever, as if the whole event was not worth getting excited about. Tentatively, Mu Changtian asked, "General Wenren, did you just break through to the Grandmaster Realm?"

Wenren Lie responded indifferently, "Hmm, somehow, I've broken through."

Seeing Wenren Lie's expression remain so calm, Mu Changtian couldn't help but admire him. He thought if it were him breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm, he wouldn't know how to contain his happiness.

After all, the only realm now capable of withstanding firearms was the Grandmaster Realm. In the upcoming Age of Firearms, only Grandmasters would become the true divide between ordinary people and martial artists.

Anyone below Grandmaster level was deemed ordinary, but upon reaching Grandmaster, one could face firearms without being killed by a commoner wielding them.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Chaoge looked at Wenren Lie with a smile and said, "General Wenren, you've finally made the breakthrough. I'll report your success to the king as soon as I return. He will certainly be most pleased to hear it."

Mu Changtian asked from the side, "Is Elder Xuanyuan planning to return?"

Xuanyuan Chaoge answered, "Yes, now that Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen are dead, my mission is complete. Besides, with General Wenren becoming a Grandmaster, having a Grandmaster stationed in Youping County means there should not be any issue wiping out the remnants of Great Wu."

"In these turbulent times, it is most important for me to return quickly and protect Yan County and the North Prince Mansion."

Mu Changtian replied, "What you say is true, Elder."

Xuanyuan Chaoge then said, "Alright, let's not linger any longer. Everything henceforth will be left in your two capable hands. I will take my leave now."

As his voice fell, Xuanyuan Chaoge disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Mu Changtian and Wenren Lie then came back to their senses and began directing the soldiers present to clean up the site.

In the following days, Wenren Lie and Mu Changtian led their troops to clear out the Great Wu soldiers within Youping County. The 200,000 soldiers soon learned the news of their generals' failed assassination attempt.

When the Great Wu soldiers first heard of their generals' defeat, they couldn't believe it. After all, Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen were Grandmaster level Military Generals. Grandmasters did not die easily, especially when their targets were merely at the Master level.

But as time passed, and the North Country's army continued to track the movements of their 200,000-strong force, plus the fact that their generals did not return, they pretty much confirmed the failure of Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen.

However, before the return of Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen, they dared not make any moves. Eventually, the 200,000-strong Great Wu army stayed hidden in the forest for nearly half a month.

Later, due to a shortage of provisions, some soldiers could no longer bear it and deserted. Once the deserters were captured by North Country soldiers, the whereabouts of the 200,000 troops were quickly ascertained.

When North Country soldiers besieged the 200,000 Great Wu troops, the Great Wu soldiers had already lost all will to fight. Even though they were elite troops, the bombardment by cannons, lack of logistical supplies, and the disappearance of their generals had worn down their fighting spirit entirely.

Ultimately, a Master Level vice general stepped forward, leading the 200,000 Great Wu soldiers to surrender.

With this, the initial phase of Great Wu and North Country's battlefield engagement came to an end, and it was now North Country's turn to play their hand.
