At this moment, he somewhat regretted it. He had calculated everything, but never anticipated that Ye Luo’s strength would be so formidable. With his power alone, he quelled the battles in the Three Territories, and due to his legitimate status, gained the support of countless people!

Before Ye Luo’s army even arrived, the entire Northern Territory was already in chaos.

The Lions Clan continuously suppressed the Northern Territory, and on the bloodiest day, they slaughtered over three thousand people in just one day!

These people were those who proposed to let Ye Luo take over. In their hearts, Ye Luo was the true king. Unfortunately, they knew these thoughts should be kept to themselves, uttering them would be courting death!

Of course, some smart ones kept silent and prepared in secret.

Both the Eldest Prince and the Lions Clan understood this, but what could they do about it?

Apart from the Lions Clan’s own members, anyone could potentially become their enemy. So who should they catch?

Who could they control?

If they acted recklessly, Northern Territory would crumble even without Ye Luo’s presence!

The army advanced continuously, yet wherever they passed, not only was there no opposition, more people joined Ye Luo.

By the time Ye Luo reached the Northern Territory, the army under his command had already exceeded two million strong!

This result was something even Ye Luo did not foresee!

Because no one was foolish; every tribe could see the situation clearly.

With just the Eldest Prince and the Lions Clan, what did they have to revolt?

What did they have to oppose Ye Luo with?

If they did not show goodwill to Ye Luo now, were they going to wait until he defeated the Eldest Prince to then express goodwill?

By then, Ye Luo would likely not pay any attention to them!

The vast army arrived at the first border city of the Northern Territory, which was the first city under the Eldest Prince’s control.

Unfortunately, Ye Luo had not even ordered an attack or attempted to persuade surrender, yet the city gates opened!

It turned out that the city’s garrison had united to execute the Lions Clan’s military overseers and voluntarily surrendered the city. This result was already within Ye Luo’s expectations!

Without pausing, Ye Luo continued forward.

And thereafter, the entire Northern Territory followed suit, even a few hundred reconnaissance soldiers dispatched by Ye Luo arrived at a city only to find it surrendering voluntarily!

Poor Lions Clan, pitiful Eldest Prince!

They never anticipated how unpopular they were!

No, actually, had it not been for Ye Luo’s formidable battle achievements, perhaps this outcome would not have occurred.

After all, earlier, with the Third Prince acting nonchalantly as if touring mountains and rivers, and his low capabilities, the various tribes of the Da Yue Empire did not take it to heart.

If the Eldest Prince allied with the Lions Clan had truly slain the Demon King, and if Ye Luo was not a factor, along with the support of the Commerce Alliance, becoming the new king of Da Yue Empire was not impossible!

Unfortunately, now the Third Prince is Ye Luo, quelling the Three Territories, making even the Commerce Alliance retreat merely upon hearing his name!

Such prestige had long spread throughout the world.

Moreover, Ye Luo was legitimate, who would truly oppose him? Strength is like a snowball that grows larger as it rolls, even obstacles in its path would be consumed!

And Ye Luo was precisely like that now.

Throughout Da Yue Empire, there were no more voices of opposition! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

In less than a month of deploying troops, Ye Luo had already surrounded the so-called New King City established by the Eldest Prince and the Lions Clan!

At this moment, the Eldest Prince regretted it; one could say the Lions Clan regretted it too, but what could they do?

Treason is a crime of exterminating the clan!

What could they do other than resist?

What infuriated them the most was that upon hearing of Ye Luo’s deployment, people from the New King City kept escaping.

It’s obvious where these people fled to!

The New King City was merely a city with a population of only about two hundred thousand, but in less than a month, it had less than fifty thousand left. Fortunately, all of the Lions Clan had already moved in, maintaining a population of over two hundred thousand!

Alas, this New King City was not really the new king city of Da Yue Empire; it had essentially become the old lair of the Lions Clan!

However, attacking it was somewhat tricky, because among the remaining, there were over a thousand Da Yue Empire officials!

When the Demon King led more than a third of the entire Da Yue Empire to the Northern Territory, now it became the shield of the Lions Clan!

Ye Luo knew well that a direct assault was not possible. If he attacked, the death of these over a thousand officials would plunge the Da Yue Empire into new chaos!

But Ye Luo couldn’t just ignore it, could he? Did he bring all these people here just for show?

Moreover, if he did not address the Lions Clan’s rebellion, his new kingship might be questioned!

Ye Luo quickly pondered, ignoring was impossible, but how to manage, how to resolve this matter required serious consideration!

Perhaps negotiation was the most straightforward way!

In truth, as far as Ye Luo was concerned, even letting the Lions Clan and the Eldest Prince go wouldn’t matter.

But Ye Luo knew he could not do that because doing so would displease many!

After all, if rebellion could be forgiven, then what could not be pardoned?

Deceit? Offer forgiveness first, then execute after surrender?

Ye Luo could not choose that; it would only make others think Ye Luo was untrustworthy, damaging his reputation, so it was equally inadmissible!

What to do?

Ye Luo furrowed his brows, surprisingly, things going too smoothly could cause headaches.

Forget it, better to assault; if the Lions Clan dared to use those officials as shields, Ye Luo could unite with Feng Ling and Ao Long, along with strong followers in his campaign, to rescue those people should not be a problem!

However, just as Ye Luo made his decision, unexpectedly, the city gates already opened, and simultaneously, battles were occurring inside the city!

What was happening?

This was the last stronghold of the Lions Clan, so how could someone open the gate?

Ye Luo had no time to consider further and immediately ordered an attack!

The ensuing battle had almost no suspense. As powerful as the Lions Clan was, ultimately, they were just one clan, and Ye Luo had brought along the elite of the Da Yue Empire!

Subsequent understanding left Ye Luo wryly smiling — it turned out all his concerns were unnecessary.

Because internally, the Lions Clan was already in disarray!

Ye Luo, with an army of two million, like a glacier, directly crushed any rebellion, this momentum left the Lions Clan with no hope, so inevitably, many within chose to surrender!
