Peace Order-Chapter 110 - 72: Destruction of the Nation_3

"I hope we don’t meet on the battlefield too soon,"

"In forty days’ time, there will be a grand ceremony in Chen Country. You can accompany the envoys and head to the Central Plains of Chen Country then,"

Breaking Army, holding his long hair near his temples, smiled and said, "Fine, then won’t you give me a reward?"

The Seventh Prince burst into laughter, "What do you want?"

"Gold, cattle and sheep, or beauties?"

Breaking Army shook his head at each suggestion. He finally gave a slight bow with his hands crossed and said, "Please grant me a set of armor."

The Seventh Prince said, "There are plenty of armors in the armory; feel free to choose, sir."

Breaking Army looked at the Seventh Prince and smiled faintly:

"I desire an Iron Futu armor of a general’s rank."

The Seventh Prince’s smile froze.

Gazing fixedly at the strategist before him, who sparked the flame of chaos in his heart, he couldn’t help but think of the heavy Battle Halberd and the Iron Futu, the world’s heaviest armor. Coupled with that halberd, what kind of monster would it create?

Having already agreed to the previous request, the Seventh Prince conceded swiftly this time.

He said:

"...Alright."

...

Meanwhile in Jiangnan, upon seeing that seal, Siming completely disregarded his own dignity.

After a moment of stillness,

Qi Observation Skill activated, and the residual majestic Qi of the king surged before his eyes.

With a boom!

Siming’s vision went dark as he collapsed, only to sit up violently again. Li Guanyi couldn’t react in time as the old man appeared beside him, grabbing Li Guanyi’s hand and staring at the seal, crying out, "A gold seal, with Tiger Niu. I see, behind it is the text of Tu Yu Hun..."

"[Dominator of the Western Regions]!"

"This is the King Seal of Tu Yu Hun, from the one who swept through the Thirty-six Tribes of the Western Regions before, who established himself as the Overlord of Tuyuhun, melted down the King Seals of the thirty-six tribes to cast this very object. When casting this seal, he slaughtered the kings of the remaining thirty-five tribes and used their blood to consecrate the flames."

"On that day, the fire that burned was the color of blood."

"You, you...!!"

"This is what you called a little something?!"

The old man stared at him, and Li Guanyi cracked a smile and said, "I don’t know how to explain it to you."

"Actually, it wasn’t my doing."

Li Guanyi tried to explain that this was not his merit.

Then the elder seemed not to believe this fellow, staring wide-eyed at the letter in Li Guanyi’s hand.

[Thanks to brother Lai’s plan, and my bravery]

[Slaughter the king, usurp the throne, this seal as a gift]

The old man pointed at the letter and gave Li Guanyi a ’do you think I would believe you?’ look.

"Usurping the throne, is it? And it has nothing to do with you, handing the seal over to you, right?"

Li Guanyi also looked at the remaining part of the letter, which said that a young man from thousands of miles away led elite Cavalry to the royal city. Seeing the royal city illuminated by torches and the palace drinking all night long, Mr. Yuwen felt that a direct attack was not appropriate, so he used disguise once more.

He feigned a large army’s attack, stirring up a commotion. Due to the change in the world, the national fortune of Tuyuhun indeed declined, which caused the drunken King of Tu Yu Hun to panic and ride out from the royal city.

At this time, he even brought along seductive beauties with him.

The young man, riding a steed with Qilin Blood, shot down the fleeing King of Tuyuhun with his War Bow.

After that, [Plunder their artisans, scholars, armor, provisions, geographical maps]

[What cannot be taken is to be burned with fire]

[This object is of little use to me, I merely present it to you for your perusal]

The elder, looking at the written contents of the letter, pieced together the entire event.

The young man before him devised the strategy while another young man dashed forth on horseback.

How did they extinguish the life of an entire nation?

If seen from the mundane world, it was by destroying the city, but from the perspective of heritage, it was by killing the king and seizing the Seal, eradicating any hope for that nation to rise again.

Therefore, Siming suddenly realized a nearly absurd fact.

The one who had truly annihilated Tu Yu Hun, to the outside world, appeared to be Yuwen Lie, one of the top generals under the heavens.

In truth, however, it was the combined efforts of these two young men, neither of whom would be over thirty years old.

Li Guan looked at the object in his hands, gripping the King Seal, and as he raised his head, he seemed to experience more directly the flowing lights of the White Tiger Seven Stars. Turning towards the old man beside him, he had many questions he wanted to ask, but finally, he just stretched out his hand, palm spread open, with the small seal resting in it.

"This thing,"

"Is it enough?"

Siming: "..."
