At this mont, the army of Chu Wu had advanced very close to the capital city. Jun Wu Xiao approached Chu Wu and asked:
"Do you think we should capture the emperor tonight, or wait until the battle begins to capture him?"
Chu Wu pondered for a mont, honestly admitting that from the beginning, he had not considered the possibility of capturing the emperor so easily and had not planned for it. After a mont, he said:
"If at the start of the battle, do you have the capability to quickly capture the emperor?"
Jun Wu Xiao thought for a mont then said:
"If the emperor shows himself at the start of the battle, I can do it."
Chu Wu nodded and then said:
"Then we wait until the battle begins to capture him."
Jun Wu Xiao, curious about the reason for this decision, asked:
"Why wait? If I go in the night, it could be easier to capture him."
Chu Wu smiled mysteriously and said:
"At that ti, I will stand before everyone and ask him a few questions. It will surely be easy to make him submit."
Jun Wu Xiao, even more curious now, felt that asking further would only lead Chu Wu to put on an even more profound and mysterious air, so he decided not to ask anymore.
"Alright, tomorrow when we battle, I will capture him for you. I also want to see what you plan to do." Jun Wu Xiao said before leaving.
The next morning arrived, and Chu Wu's army had reached the front of the capital city, facing a fortress that seed quite sturdy. If they wished to take the fortress, it would likely require a considerable effort.
At this mont, Chu Wu looked towards Jun Wu Xiao. Jun Wu Xiao nodded, then put on a demon mask and ran straight towards the fortress.
On top of the fortress, the emperor stood high above then he proclaid:
"My generals and soldiers, the invading army brazenly wishes to wage war on the land that our ancestors have built over many generations. We must absolutely not let them have their way. Today, we will surely be victorious."
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
The generals and soldiers shouted in unison, looking at Chu Wu's army with eyes full of hatred. The reason for their hatred was not entirely clear to them. They only heard that since Chu Wu wanted to wage war on their holand, they hated him.
In reality, from the ti Chu Wu began his campaign until now, he had never done anything excessively cruel to the people of the kingdoms he invaded. His goal was to unify the world, to spare the people from facing war. How could he then commit cruel acts against the people?
But what if that despicable emperor knew all this? He would still need to slander Chu Wu to give his soldiers a reason to hate him and fight more fiercely, wanting to retain his throne and protect his supre position, regardless of how many of his people died.
The emperor gradually retreated to a safer position, as he could not just run away, doing so would surely result in losing the country since the army's morale would plumt. However, he still moved to a relatively safe place because he was afraid of being hit by arrows.
During this ti, Jun Wu Xiao was running at a very high speed straight towards the emperor's position. This ti, he did not carry any weapons to move faster because, after all, his goal was to capture, not to fight or kill.
The enemy army (here referring to the army of the emperor, since Chu Wu's forces were now on the sa side as Jun Wu Xiao) saw this and also rose up to block him.
"Everyone, stop him quickly, don't let him get any closer inside." a general shouted.
The soldiers, seeing the person wearing a demon mask moving at an unbelievable speed towards them, were terrified. At this mont, they did not dare to go up and attack.
"Don't be afraid of him, he's alone. How can he fight against us?" A general, sensing the army's morale was dropping, shouted out.
Hearing this, the soldiers also woke up. That's right, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers, mostly civilians who had joined to defend the capital, but still tens of thousands. The person wearing the demon mask daring to charge at them alone would surely fail.
"That's right, we are so many, why be afraid of him?"
"That's right."
"That's right."
At this mont, the enemy's morale also stabilized, and they saw that just one person could not do anything to them, so they were no longer afraid.
Many soldiers, ard with spears, advanced towards Jun Wu Xiao to block him. But how could they stop him? This ti, he did not carry weapons, so his agility had greatly increased.
He jumped straight onto the head of one soldier and then quickly moved across the heads of the enemy troops. The enemy soldiers stabbed wildly towards him with their spears but to no avail.
With his ability to analyze images after the breakthrough, he beca incredibly quick. He could swiftly dodge the spears because there weren't many, at most, less than a dozen people could attack him at once, far less than when he had to block tens of thousands of arrows.
The distance between Jun Wu Xiao and the city gate was still more than a mile away. But with his speed, he would surely reach it within ten minutes. In fact, he could run faster if it were a flat road, but at this mont, he had to run over the heads of enemy soldiers while dodging spears, which would take more ti.
At this ti, the despicable emperor was leisurely enjoying his al on his throne. He did not bother to watch the battle because even if he did, he would not understand anything. Moreover, going outside to watch could result in being hit by an arrow, so he decided to lie down and eat safely. Thus, he was unaware that a terribly fearso person was quickly approaching to capture him.
Chu Wu commanded his army to engage in battle with the enemy. This ti, due to the change in plan, he had inford his entire army that they would be adopting a defensive strategy instead of aggressively attacking.
As long as they defended until Jun Wu Xiao captured the emperor, they would surely win the battle easily.
This made the enemy forces feel strange, they thought that a battle ant both sides would continuously charge and fight, but now, only they were attacking while Chu Wu's forces were only defending.
But they did not know what else to do, and the generals of the enemy forces were also puzzled, not understanding what was happening. However, this was a battlefield, so they seriously continued their assault without the ti to ponder over this issue.
Jun Wu Xiao had now reached the front of the city gate, which was not very high, only about twenty-five ters. Jun Wu Xiao grabbed the protruding parts of the bricks with his hands and quickly climbed up.
When he was near, he grabbed the top brick and forcefully propelled himself forward. He did this because he did not know if anyone was guarding above, so he decided to make a surprise attack.
But perhaps he worried too much, as there were only a few guards besides the emperor, who was leaning back in his chair, eating with a few ministers standing around.
The emperor, seeing a person in white clothes wearing a demon mask suddenly appear, was so scared that he almost dropped the food in his hand. He hastily shouted:
"Guard! There's an assassin."
Before everyone could rush over to help him, Jun Wu Xiao had already swiftly reached his side and grabbed him by the neck.
