Seeing the overwhelming bombardnt fall on the heads of Luo City’s defending army, Lü Qi was first astonished, his pupils dilating, face showing an expression of disbelief.
For a mont, he even wondered if there had been a mistake...
Did the Aus Empire’s people, unfamiliar with the situation, lock onto the wrong target?
Next ca anger, face flushed, eyes blazing, his expression twisted and hideous, pointing and screaming at Prince Philip: "What are you doing? What exactly are you doing?"
"We are allies, we’re in an alliance... How can you bombard the Undying Army? How can you attack our own people?"
Lü Qi was from the Undying Army, and in his eyes, only the Undying Army mattered.
As for the other defenders of Luo City, live or die, he really couldn’t care less.
Four Palace Guards rushed up and seized control of Lü Qi’s body.
They were worried Lü Qi would harm the Prince.
Seeing Lü Qi’s exasperated state, Prince Philip remained as elegant and composed as ever, even having soone fill his glass with champagne, which he sipped delicately.
"Who said we were allies? From the beginning, I never intended to be on your side."
"We clearly had an agreent..."
Prince Philip interrupted him and said, "Didn’t Lü just ntion it? The best military strategy is stratagem. How about it? Isn’t my strategy rather good? Did it give you a big surprise? Presumably, Shen Wuxiang over there... also finds it quite unexpected?"
Thinking about the shock this scene would cause outside, Prince Philip couldn’t help but laugh triumphantly.
I truly am a genius!
"Your Aus Empire is untrustworthy and treacherous... You will face the world’s condemnation and be nailed to the pillar of sha in history..."
"There’s an old saying in Phoenix Country, that history is written by the victors... Once we achieve victory, I will write my own history..."
"You scum, beast..." Lü Qi no longer wanted to reason, only to curse.
He was the liaison and overseer for this mission, and the fact that his side was bombed right in front of him was a blatant humiliation.
Even if he could return, there awaited only a dead end.
Prince Philip waved his hand and said, "Drag him out and execute him."
"Yes."
The guards, fierce as wolves, dragged Lü Qi’s body towards the exit.
Prince Philip watched the quickly extinguished red blotches, a faint smile on his lips, murmuring to himself: "I can’t be mistaken... From the first mont I saw him, I knew... he was shaless."

Qi Mountain. Staff Headquarters.
"Military Minister, our forces have launched an all-out attack, dismantling the Fla-Bathed Legion’s front from within."
"Each unit is mobilized as well, engaging bandit forces in every area... As soon as they dare to bring reinforcents, we’ll be able to imdiately seize the lost cities."
"The ssage has been conveyed to Chief of Staff Lü... just waiting for the Aus Empire to coordinate with us from within and without... to tear the Fla-Bathed Legion to shreds."
"Though it’s a pity, this is the fate of a traitor..."
------
Shen Wuxiang was not participating in the deploynt discussions, rely staring coldly at the real-ti star map.
Until the war is truly over, anything is possible...
"What?"
Shen Wuxiang’s tiger eyes widened, face full of disbelief.
On the star map, the Fla-Bathed Legion troops that had originally surrounded them began to retract and evade in an organized manner.
Then, the Aus Empire’s Thunder God Fleet directed their cannons towards the Undying Army defending the front line.
Simultaneously, the Fla-Bathed Legion also launched an attack...
This is a ga where one plus one is greater than three.
With the strong involvent of the Thunder God Fleet, gaps were instantly torn in the defensive line of Luo City’s guards.
Shen Annan, living up to his reputation as a great general, was quick to consolidate his formation when he noticed sothing amiss.
In the chaos, they lost soldiers and generals, countless Star Disc Fighters fell.
Even so, the huddled mass remained a atball, awaiting the Fla-Bathed Legion and Thunder God Fleet to devour it whole.
Unless powerful firepower could provide rescue from the outside...
However, he knew very well that this was an impossibility.
The montum was gone; the Military Minister would never accept more significant losses.
"Aus Empire..."
Shen Wuxiang’s bloodshot eyes looked at Prince Caesar standing beside him, gritting his teeth.
Caesar’s smile hadn’t even faded, frozen and stiff, as he said shakily: "Military Minister... I don’t know what happened either... I sincerely wanted to collaborate with you..."
"Is that your explanation?"
"Philip, it must be Philip... that bastard, he chose to side with the bandits from the start... He wants to use this opportunity to get rid of ..."
"Military Minister, you have to believe ... If I wanted to deceive you, why would I stand right next to you? I’m on your side; we’re both victims.... We’ve been betrayed by that scoundrel Philip."
Shen Wuxiang looked coldly at Prince Caesar and hissed, "Contact Philip... Tell him, if they don’t cease fire, I’ll chop his brother’s head off."
Caesar panicked and said anxiously, "Military Minister, he definitely won’t agree... He wants dead, he wants dead..."
No one paid attention to Caesar’s attitude.
Very soon, the liaison officer began to request a call with the Thunder God Fleet.
Once, and again.
The liaison officer approached to report, cautiously saying, "Military Minister, we have tried thirty-two tis, but the other side refused to talk."
Shen Wuxiang’s gaze shifted again to Caesar’s face, Caesar was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud.
"Spare my life, Military Minister."
------
Over on the Fla-Bathed Legion side, it was a different lively scene.
"The commander is amazing, who would have thought he had such a trick up his sleeve."
"Yeah, originally I thought the Aus Empire was coming for us, but turns out they’re after Shen Wuxiang..."
"How does that saying go? Those who gain moral support have many allies; those who lose it have few."
"The Righteous Army will definitely win!"
------
Kong Yinghan dared not claim the credit, cupping his hands and saying admiringly, "This was the Lord’s plan. I’m just a loyal executor..."
"So it was the Lord’s sche."
"I said so, even with the army pressing in, why is the Lord still so calmly certain..."
"I heard the Lord and Prince Philip are life and death friends... Last ti, it was Prince Philip who led the Sea God Fleet to rout the Beihai Fleet head-on..."
"The Lord is wise and mighty... strategizing from a thousand miles away."
------
Kong Yinghan looked around and said solemnly, "Everyone, the Lord has already set the stage for us, so let’s put on a grand show for him."
"From today onwards, the Undying Army will be removed from the Empire’s elite forces."
"Remove the Undying Army."
The generals responded in unison.

Brocade City. City Lord Mansion.
Phoenix was busy handling official duties while also paying attention to the battle in Luo City.
She knew very well the significance of this battle.
The outco of Luo City determines the next move of the Righteous Army and can even influence the overall situation’s advantage or disadvantage.
Luo City’s victory ans stability, setting the stage for the whole situation.
With this super city as a base, there is logistical and troop support. The army can march forward, straight to the core of the Imperial City.
If Luo City falls, the Righteous Army must retreat to north of Brocade City, or possibly beyond Dushan...
Shen Wuxiang will not allow them to continue occupying this Jinxiu Hongyue and Feng City, no matter what they must seize them back.
Phoenix glanced out the window, a beautiful arc couldn’t help but form at her mouth.
Sheng Xinhua lay on the sofa in the courtyard, drinking wine.
The bright sunshine, her beautiful body even more dazzling than sunlight.
In the ice bucket were two bottles of champagne, of which she had already consud over half of one.
Phoenix walked over, snatched the wine glass from her hand, took a sip, and said, "You really know how to enjoy yourself. We’re all busy, yet here you lie like a deity."
"Aren’t I waiting for the battle results? Look, I’ve prepared champagne. Once the news cos, we’ll pop the champagne in celebration."
"You have the nerve to say that? The battle isn’t over yet, and you’re about to finish the champagne. Once the results are out, I’m afraid no wine will be left to drink?"
"How could that be? I’ve hidden a few bottles under the table. Once the ice bucket is empty, I’ll put them in..."
"Sheng Xinhua, just how much of my champagne did you steal?"
"Hey, don’t be so stingy... Your man is about to win a battle, can’t you spare a few bottles of champagne?"
"You really can’t get ivory out of a dog’s mouth..."
"If a dog could produce ivory, I’d go raise a dog instead. Who would want to be a professor?" Sheng Xinhua nudged Phoenix’s arm, making faces and said, "What? Sleep but don’t want to take responsibility?"
"Who’s sleeping? Didn’t happen at all."
"Alright, alright... Why not sleep? Think he’s no good? You should know, a man’s first ti is always quick, you should give him more chances..."
"Sheng Xinhua, you really are... I’ll tear your mouth apart..."
------
Phoenix lunged forward, the two won’s bodies tangled and wrestled together.
On the distant rooftop, a white figure quietly watched the scene.
