Chapter 555: Chapter 358: Prince Yun Gu Xiu_2
Although the three armies were separated, they were ultimately to unite together.
Here.
is the location for the rendezvous.
Ten days later.
The two armies finally arrived, albeit belatedly.
Both armies suffered significant losses, with more than half of the soldiers carrying injuries, indicating the nurous challenges they faced along the way.
As the armies entered the city to rest, many displayed expressions of relief.
Inside the governnt office.
Several people took their seats.
“We pay our respects to Prince Yun!”
Those who were originally with Gu Yang, like Jiang Mo and Xue Cheng, naturally were not unfamiliar with Gu Xiu, but they hadn’t expected to see him here.
Upon hearing those words, Gu Xiu also smiled slightly: “General Xue, General Jiang, it has indeed been a long ti!”
At this mont.
Yan Yun said, “This ti, Evil Spirit was guarding and manipulating the corpses of the people to wreak havoc. If it weren’t for Prince Yun personally killing that Evil Spirit, taking this city wouldn’t have been so easy for us.
Ahead is the Tianshu Prefecture, the core of the Star Dynasty.”
“According to reports from spies, the Tianshu Prefecture is shrouded in a mysterious dark fog, so dense that even sunlight can barely penetrate it.
From what we’ve seen along the way, it’s likely that the people of the Tianshu Prefecture have long perished!”
Yan Yun first complinted Gu Xiu, then got straight to the point.
His words.
made everyone else’s faces turn grim.
Jiang Mo exclaid in anger, “The Lu Family Imperial Family is truly inhumane, slaughtering the people loyal to them. What are they thinking, siding with the Evil Spirit!!”
Having traveled with the army, Jiang Mo had witnessed the horrors, fueling his rage against the Star Dynasty, though still unclear as to why.
Regarding this.
Yan Yun and the others were all tacitly aware.
The reason the Star Dynasty took such risks could be suspected to be sohow connected to the Divine Martial Dynasty.
However.
This is not a justification for the Star Dynasty to ally with Evil Spirit and massacre their subjects.
Yan Yun approached the center of the governnt office hall where a large sand table was placed, adorned with flags of various colors mixed together.
But upon closer inspection, it could be seen that these flags entirely surrounded a central area.
There.
was the Tianshu Prefecture, the core of the Star Dynasty.
Yan Yun said, “Now, forces from all sides have surrounded the Tianshu Prefecture, but no one has acted rashly, as the situation within it remains unknown.
Even though Lu Zhen has sided with the Evil Spirit, he is no ordinary strategist and wouldn’t wait to be executed.
Therefore, there must be a formidable force within Tianshu Prefecture, giving Lu Zhen the confidence to contend with our allied forces!”
“Three days ago, an envoy from another force stated that the forces have reached an agreent: whoever beheads Lu Zhen can occupy the territory of the Star Dynasty!”
At this revelation.
Those previously unaware of this matter had their expressions dramatically change.
To occupy the territory of an Imperial Dynasty!
This is no trivial matter.
It is known that the Star Dynasty has been established for many years, and its territory has reached a provincial level with only one hundred and eight provinces existing in the vast Eastern Domain.
The Star Dynasty encompasses one province, indicating how large a province is.
Even though Guxing State is now a wreck, incomparable to other major provinces.
Nonetheless.
It is still one of the 108 provinces.
Not to ntion anything else.
The resources of a single province alone are enough to entice anyone.
If the Divine Martial Dynasty could conquer the entire Guxing State, their territory would expand to a staggering size, potentially becoming the largest among all dynasties worldwide.
Moving forward.
With significant population developnt, advancing to an Imperial Dynasty would be a straightforward matter for the Divine Martial Dynasty.
However.
Everyone understood equally well.
Truly taking Guxing State would be far from easy.
Beheading Lu Zhen would be extraordinarily challenging.
Xue Cheng looked at the sand table, his expression serious: “Slaying Lu Zhen isn’t that simple. Without knowing the current state of Tianshu, whoever acts first risks serving others their success.
For now, we must wait patiently and not act rashly!”
“I share the sa view as General Xue!”
Jiang Mo nodded.
The others held similar opinions.
Acting rashly without knowing the state of the Tianshu Prefecture carried too great a risk.
The resistance encountered from the Star Dynasty along the way had already showcased the terror of this dynasty.
Venturing into Tianshu alone would not even cause a ripple among the thirty million soldiers.
However—
There are no longer thirty million soldiers now.
With significant losses among all armies, integrating all three armies now leaves fewer than 23 million.
At this mont.
Yan Yun looked at Gu Xiu, who had remained silent.
“What does Prince Yun think about this?”
“Warfare isn’t my strong suit, but the generals do make a good point. With the state of Tianshu unclear, deploying forces hastily is likely to lead to unforeseen circumstances.
The more crucial matter is that survival is improbable for the citizens of Tianshu, with all forces encircling it entirely.
For Lu Zhen now, escape is unlikely.
In that case, why shouldn’t we wait patiently and let others who can’t bear the wait act first!”
Gu Xiu expressed his viewpoint.
He too did not advocate directly entering Tianshu.
With his sharp intuition, Gu Xiu was certain that Tianshu concealed unpredictable dangers.
Having survived the Demon Realm for decades, despite being hunted fiercely, Gu Xiu relied on his sharp sixth sense to remain unfazed and at ease.
Or perhaps.
The environnt of the Demon Realm honed Gu Xiu’s acute perception of situations.
Nonetheless, Tianshu harbored imnse danger.
After speaking.
Gu Xiu paused and added, “Additionally, I believe this matter should be reported to my royal brother, allowing him to make a decision!”
“Prince Yun’s words make sense!”
Yan Yun nodded.
Reporting this issue to Gu Yang would simplify matters considerably.
Soon after.
Yan Yun reported this situation back to the Divine Martial Dynasty.
In less than half a two-hour period.
The Divine Martial Dynasty relayed a ssage back.
Gu Yang’s reply comprised only four words.
Wait for opportunity!
Upon seeing this, Yan Yun, Jiang Mo, and others visibly relaxed.
Since Gu Yang instructed them to wait for the opportunity, it indicated they were not being rushed into Tianshu, and everything could be strategically planned first.
What they feared was Gu Yang acting impetuously, ordering the army to storm directly into Tianshu to behead Lu Zhen first, in which case they would be unable to object.
After all, in the face of imperial orders, who could speak against them?
At that mont.
It would be a genuine dilemma.
Fortunately.
Gu Yang didn’t give a direct order but instead handed the initiative over to them, allowing subsequent actions to be much more manageable.
Jiang Mo said, “Since His Majesty has instructed us to wait for the opportunity, we should observe the situation for now. Moreover, send so spies first into Tianshu to gather information and monitor the movents of other forces.
Currently, with all forces awaiting the right mont, even if we aren’t taking imdiate action, we must not miss the chance!”
“Agreed!”
“I also agree!”
Many generals nodded in agreent, and Gu Xiu naturally had no differing opinions.
As he ntioned, warfare wasn’t his forte.
When it ca to matters he wasn’t adept at, Gu Xiu always refrained from interfering, allowing professionals to make inford decisions.
Seeing that everyone shared the sa perspective, Yan Yun naturally couldn’t oppose.
Moreover.
Without clarifying the situation within Tianshu, Yan Yun also dared not act hastily.
As the Divine Martial Dynasty held their forces, other powers adopted a similar approach, stationing their armies while dispatching nurous spies to gradually delve into Tianshu, intending to reveal the situation before taking action.
