Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

#1189 - The plan failed

Inside the Imperial City of Wu'an, the Heavenly Khan and others were incredibly anxious, tormented every moment.

Watching as the five armies drew closer and closer to the Imperial City.

Where were the experts from Qin Province now, and how many days would it take them to arrive?

These were all unknown.

The later the experts from Qin Province arrived, the longer the Imperial City would have to defend itself.

In the current situation, they could only rely on strategy to buy time; a direct confrontation would not last long.

The Wu'an Heavenly Khan knew it, the ministers knew it, and everyone in the city knew it very well.

In the mountains outside the city, Jun Wuxie was also waiting, but his heart was very calm.

Even knowing that the experts from Qin Province were about to arrive did not cause him any ripples.

Experts in the Saint Emperor Realm were very strong, but so what? It was impossible to kill him.

Time slowly passed in waiting, until dusk.

The setting sun fell behind the mountains, and the sunset glow was especially beautiful, a fiery red, as if stained with blood.

Against this backdrop, the Imperial City became even more oppressive.

The defending soldiers in the city had already seen the huge battleships appearing at the end of the horizon.

The battleships came from five different routes, riding the wind and breaking through the clouds.

The afterglow of the sunset shone on the battleships, and the hulls of the battleships glowed with a cold red metallic light, as if smeared with blood.

"They're here..."

On the walls of the Imperial City, some defending generals looked at each other, exchanging glances.

"Woo!"

The horns of war sounded on the city walls, desolate and deep, echoing in the twilight sky and on the battlefield outside the city.

Soon, the battleships of the five armies arrived outside the Imperial City, slowly descending in the air tens of miles away from the Imperial City.

Dozens of battleships, each with more than one hundred thousand elite rune-armored soldiers, neatly descended from the battleships, forming battle formations and lining up.

The iron-blooded battle intent swept across the earth like a hurricane, stirring up the clouds above the sky, changing the color of the twilight sky.

Such an aura shocked the defending soldiers in the Imperial City.

Too terrifying!

Just this kind of fighting will was already incomparably strong; this was a true army of tigers and wolves, a victorious army!

This kind of battle intent and iron-blooded killing aura was accumulated in countless sieges and conquests.

The defending soldiers, who originally had no fighting spirit, had even less desire to resist after personally feeling the aura of the five armies.

"Wu'an Heavenly Khan, now that things have come to this, the Wu'an Dynasty's fate is sealed. Stop making futile resistance and letting your Wu'an soldiers lose their lives in vain. Opening the city and surrendering is your only way out!"

Jian Chen stood at the top of the mast of a battleship, a flying sword shuttling around his body, making a slight sword鸣 sound.

Inside the city, the Wu'an Heavenly Khan hid under the city gate, his face extremely gloomy.

He didn't dare to show himself, hiding before the arrival of the five armies.

"Arrogant! Abominable!"

The Heavenly Khan gritted his teeth, a ridge bulging out on his face, his eyes cold and frightening, his chest rising and falling violently.

"Great Heavenly Khan, do not be angry because of this. Let your servant negotiate with him!"

After the defending general finished speaking, he ascended the city wall, looked at Jian Chen at the top of the mast of the warship from afar, and said loudly: "Wu'an has come to this point today, and indeed there is no possibility of a comeback. Now that you heavenly pride kings are bringing elite rune-armored soldiers to the city, you are naturally invincible. This general knows very well that if you attack the city, this city cannot be defended..."

Speaking of this, the defending general paused slightly, and then said: "It seems that no matter what, it is the same ending. Now, this general does not want the soldiers to lose their lives in vain. How about this, you give this general a few days, and this general will persuade the Heavenly Khan to agree to give up resistance and accept the fact that Wu'an is destroyed. You have been attacking the city for several months, and now you have arrived at the Imperial City, I believe you will not be in a hurry for these few days. This general can guarantee that within a few days, he will be able to persuade the Heavenly Khan and give you the result you want!"

"You still want a few days?"

Jian Chen sneered, "What qualifications do you have to negotiate terms? Prisoners of the lower ranks, ministers of a fallen country, who gave you the courage to negotiate terms with me?"

"Your Excellency, don't go too far. This general has already agreed not to use force, provided that you give this general a few days. It's just a few days, it always takes some buffer time for the Heavenly Khan to give up the country! Your Excellency is like this, it's a bit inhumane!"

The defending general's face was full of grief and indignation, as if he had suffered a great grievance, and there were even tears in his tiger eyes.

"Jian Chen, stop talking nonsense with him!"

Dugu Ruyan said on another battleship: "Now we have reached the Imperial City of Wu'an, we only need to send troops forward to break the city, why waste time."

She felt that something was not quite right. Did this defending city commander really want to open the city and surrender?

Jian Chen thought for a while, and also felt that since he had already arrived here, there was no need to delay time, so as to avoid long nights and many dreams.

Jian Xu, Di Hui, and Zhao Wenting also agreed with Dugu Ruyan's statement.

"How about this, I'll give you one last chance. If you really want to persuade the Heavenly Khan to give up resistance, then call him out now and say this in person, otherwise our army will break into the city!"

"You..."

The defending general's face was gloomy.

He didn't expect things to be like this.

He originally thought that by using the condition of opening the city and surrendering as bait, there was a high probability that he could paralyze the enemy, but the other party was too strong!

In this way, what other way is there to delay time?

"You wait, this general needs to report to the Heavenly Khan!"

The defending general had no choice. He knew very well that he could not handle it.

Returning to the bottom of the city wall, looking at the Heavenly Khan with a gloomy face, he didn't know how to speak.

The Heavenly Khan had already heard all the previous conversations, and there seemed to be no need to repeat them.

"Heavenly Khan, this method won't work. What should we do now?" A minister said with a face full of trepidation and fear: "Once these tigers and wolves attack the Imperial City, I'm afraid we can only hold out for one day at most!"

"Shut up!"

The Heavenly Khan scolded the speaking minister with incomparable irritability. He clenched his hands tightly, the blue veins on the back of his hands bulged, and blue veins appeared on his neck.

After a moment of silence, the Heavenly Khan ascended the city wall, looked at the warships outside the city from afar, and said loudly: "This Khan is here! Do you really think that the warriors of my Wu'an are decorations? If you attack by force, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties! However, this Khan does not want to see these soldiers die in vain, and also knows that this city will eventually be unable to be defended, so he is willing to open the city! But you need to give this Khan a few days to let this Khan take one last look at this city and stroll through those familiar scenes. This request is not too much, right?"

Hearing the Heavenly Khan say this, looking at his sad and lonely figure, the defending soldiers suddenly felt a little touched.

They didn't expect that the Heavenly Khan would eventually give up resistance because he cared about their lives.

"Heavenly Khan, it's a pity you didn't go into acting."

Just when the Wu'an defending soldiers were feeling moved, Jun Wuxie's voice came from the mountains, resounding like a great bell throughout the entire Imperial City and its surrounding areas.

After the voice fell, Jingya, holding his arm, stepped into the air and landed outside the Imperial City, in the air in front of the five armies' battleships.

"Lord Jun!"

The five armies of soldiers were neatly uniform, kneeling on one knee, their voices loud, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Dugu Ruyan, Zhao Wenting, Jian Chen, Jian Xu, and Di Hui also stepped forward to salute.

At this moment, the defending soldiers of the Imperial City were as if their acupoints had been tapped, fixed in place.

They all stared at Jun Wuxie with shocked eyes.

That young man was the Lord Jun in the mouths of the three armies and the border city people? The super fierce man who once single-handedly caused their Wu'an army to collapse!

They originally thought that this Lord Jun should be fierce and evil, even with three heads and six arms.

What they didn't expect was that he was so heroic and compelling, with handsome features, full of masculine energy, majestic without anger, like a monarch dominating the heavens and the earth overlooking the human world!

"You... you are Jun Wuxie?"

The Wu'an Heavenly Khan stared at the young man in the distance, his eyes flickering slightly, his heart full of panic. He felt a sense of oppression that was almost suffocating, causing him to break out in sweat instantly.

"The experts from Qin Province will arrive in Qing Province in a few days. If I didn't know better, I would have thought you were concerned about the lives of your soldiers. In fact, if you cared about their lives, you wouldn't have let them go to the border city to die again and again over the years."

Jun Wuxie's indifferent voice echoed in the sky, causing the defending soldiers to be filled with astonishment, and then anger rose in their hearts!

It turned out that it was because there were strong reinforcements on their way that the Heavenly Khan needed to delay time, so he pretended to be like this, wanting to get a few days of buffer time.

They thought that the Khan cared about their lives and were moved by it. It was really pitiful, sad, and laughable!

"Nonsense, how could such a thing happen! What is Qin Province? This Khan has never heard of it. I only know Hanzhou, but I don't know Qin Province. Jun Wuxie, a person like you, actually speaks nonsense, isn't it too undignified?"

The Heavenly Khan argued slyly, looking indignant at being wronged.

"Why bother? You are unwilling, but what can you do if you are unwilling? Do you think you can successfully delay it by not admitting it? As the Wu'an Khan, don't you think you are especially naive and childish?"

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he made a gesture to the generals behind him.

The generals immediately understood.

"Soldiers, prepare to attack the city! We must be unstoppable today, break through the Imperial City of Wu'an, and do not weaken Lord Jun's power!"

As the words of the generals fell, the six million elite rune-armored troops were boiling with fighting spirit, and their morale instantly reached the point of explosion.

Every soldier's eyes were red with excitement.

Lord Jun was watching here, how could they lose his face in front of Lord Jun? Lord Jun's army should be invincible and destroy everything!

Seeing the formation of the rune-armored army outside the city, the Heavenly Khan's face was pale, deeply aware of the gap between his army and the enemy's army.

"All of you, listen up! Defend the imperial city! If you die in battle, your families will receive three times the compensation! And they will forever enjoy the honor of being a hero's family!"

The Great Khan inspired the defending soldiers.

Rumble!

Outside the city, millions of troops charged like a steel torrent, stirring up dust that blotted out the sky.

At the same time, Du Gu Ruyan, Zhao Wenting, Jian Chen, Jian Xu, and Di Hui stepped through the air, pressing towards the imperial city, giving the defending generals of this city and the cultivators on the city walls a suffocating pressure.
