"Report! Wolf King! Wolf King, something major has happened!"

Inside the Imperial Palace of Man City, several kings of different clans were still discussing the issue of dispatching their troops when, suddenly, a personal guard of the Wolf King rushed in hurriedly from outside. Even with several other kings present, he didn’t care and dashed in, saying, "Wolf King... something has happened at Lang City!"

The Wolf King, upon hearing this, shot up from his seat and immediately followed the guard out.

In the grand hall, the Xiong King chuckled and said, "Did you see that look on the Wolf King’s face just now? It was as if the sky was falling. I’ve never seen him so terrified before."

The Tiger King wondered, "That soldier said something happened at Lang City. Could it be that Qin Tian and Yan Ruolan have attacked Lang City?"

The Lion King shook his head, "That’s unlikely. Qin Tian and Yan Ruolan just allied and, after a war, had only captured three cities. They haven’t even had time to rest and recuperate yet. How could they possibly be at the gates of Lang City already? Impossible..."

The Xiong King rubbed his face and said, "Perhaps. This Qin Tian, he’s always been elusive, capable of doing things beyond ordinary people’s capabilities..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the Wolf King rushed back in from outside, his face pale.

"Everyone, Qin Tian is already at the gates of Lang City! As the saying goes, ’When the lips are gone, the teeth are cold.’ Please, I ask all of you to save my Wolf Clan from peril! Send your troops quickly!"

The Wolf King came in, donned his cloak, and bowed to the three kings to bid farewell. He said, "I must return to Lang City immediately. If I delay any longer, my base will be taken over by that wretch! I will have that wretch and Qin Tian torn limb from limb!"

With that, the Wolf King left in a hurry, leaving the Lion King and the others exchanging looks of utter shock.

"So, Qin Tian really... has reached the gates of Lang City?" The Xiong King, who was just speculating a moment ago, now realized Qin Tian had actually done it!

"Incredible!" The Tiger King marveled, "Qin Tian’s current line is over three hundred kilometers from Lang City, with seven major cities in between. How could they have captured those cities so quickly, pressuring Lang City already?"

The Lion King shook his head, smiled wryly, and stepped forward to pat the Xiong King and Tiger King on their shoulders: "See, brothers, this is the prowess of Qin Tian. Now, we must assist the Wolf Clan more, as the war is happening on their land. If we only care about ourselves and watch the Wolf Clan be destroyed, at Qin Tian’s pace, within two months, the war will definitely reach our territories. Would you want that to happen?"

The Tiger King and Xiong King exchanged a look, both nodding solemnly: "Help, we will definitely help the Wolf Clan with all our strength!"

For the first time, they felt the fear that Qin Tian had brought upon them.

...

Lang City.

Yan Ruolan had already ordered the Leopard Clan soldiers to attack twice, but Lang City, being the capital of the Wolf Clan, was heavily defended and well-manned, with many experts. Twice, the Leopard Clan had lost over two thousand men, yet still hadn’t captured it.

"King Qin, are we advancing too hastily? We’ve incurred significant losses, but they have experts stationed at the gatehouse, making it very difficult for us to break through."

In a meeting with Qin Tian, Yan Ruolan voiced her concerns: "We basically have control over half of the Wolf Clan’s territory. Shouldn’t we regroup before advancing on Lang City? I once held Leopard City, and I know how difficult it is to capture a city when everyone inside is united against the enemy."

Qin Tian replied, "I know it’s difficult too, but we can’t give them too much time to react. If we drag on, I can assure you that the Wolf Clan will regain their strength, and they’ll call reinforcements from the other three clans. By then, if we cannot capture it, all our efforts will be in vain."

"I’ve thought of that too."

Yan Ruolan had complete faith in Qin Tian’s words, but she found herself in a dilemma.

"We must capture Lang City as quickly as possible!"

Qin Tian sat across from Yan Ruolan, looking at her seriously: "There’s no alternative plan. If we don’t succeed, we will be counter-attacked by the Wolf Clan and driven back to the West State at the least!"

Yan Ruolan had never seen such a serious Qin Tian. She took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Alright, I’ll follow your lead entirely."

At this moment, she had entrusted herself completely to Qin Tian.

At least it seemed, Qin Tian’s strategy and prowess were far superior to hers.

"It’s a pity we don’t have True Qi Cannons. If we had two True Qi Cannons, Lang City wouldn’t be able to withstand us."

Qin Tian felt a bit dejected, but deploying the True Qi Cannons wasn’t feasible, especially since Yueya City was currently locked in a tug-of-war with the Imperial City, and the True Qi Cannons couldn’t be moved.

So, after some thought, Qin Tian decided to go all out. He looked at Yan Ruolan and said, "For now, we have no choice but to launch a direct assault."

"But, we just tried a direct assault and suffered heavy losses, unable to reach the gatehouse..."

Before Yan Ruolan could finish, Qin Tian interrupted, "I’ll lead the assault personally."

Swish!

Yan Ruolan was stunned upon hearing this; she was completely taken aback!

She gazed at Qin Tian with a sense of gratitude and amazement.

Her heart felt warm, and at this moment, she felt secure.

Since childhood, aside from her father, the old Leopard King, who had given her an unrivaled sense of safety, only Qin Tian provided her with solid support, helping her endure the most difficult times after her father’s death, and seeing the hope for the Leopard Clan’s revival!

"King Qin... you... why risk your life like this..."

At this moment, the usually strong-willed Yan Ruolan felt her voice choke with emotion.

She had seen firsthand how dangerous the direct assaults on Lang City were.

There were elite Great Immortal Realm experts of the Wolf Clan on Lang City’s battlements, along with several hundred or even thousands of Small Immortal Realm experts, as well as some mysterious magicians that the Wolf King had somehow invited from sects.

These individuals gave no opportunity; the Leopard Clan lost two thousand, with over four thousand injured, yet couldn’t gain an inch on Lang City!

It was so dangerous, and now Qin Tian intended to personally lead the charge?!

Was he courting death?!

Besides, conquering Lang City would benefit her, Yan Ruolan, and the Leopard Clan the most...

"Nations are built with battle! Power is forged through struggle!"

Qin Tian gritted his teeth. He knew well how dangerous this direct assault was, as only a hundred Qin Family soldiers could protect him and charge with him at the forefront.

But Qin Tian understood that the Wolf Clan’s reinforcements were hastening here; this was a fleeting opportunity to attack Lang City!

Thus, he stood up and started heading out: "You don’t need to persuade me; I’m going to prepare, and we’ll launch the assault tonight..."

Before he could finish, a perfumed breeze came from behind, and a pair of jade arms wrapped around his tiger-like waist.
