Chapter 395: The Flas of War Shall Burn
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This was how one’s reputation and influence worked its magic. Yutang’s citizens had only thought that the Nine Supres Lords were amazing and omnipotent, but they never thought that they would have tad a ninth level mystical beast! What did the Nine Supres have, that allowed them to cajole a high-level beast to serve them?
Finishing the letter, Shangguan Lingxiu frowned. She only mused for a mont before giving a decisive command, "Stop the ship right now, sink the anchor. Wait where we are. We’ll stay here and wait for the Empire of Ziyou to receive us."
"Yes!"
The sails were drawn down. The vessel slowly stopped moving forward until it ca to a complete halt on the water.
Whitey Two stood up and shook out its fur. It wagged its tail and looked at Shangguan Lingxiu with gentle eyes.
"Awoo woo, awoo…"
Shangguan Lingxiu had begun to grow fond of this spiritual panther in the short amount of ti that it had spent here. She asked reluctantly, "Little panther, are you leaving now?"
Her subordinates rolled their eyes.
Little panther?
This monstrosity could swallow three people whole with a single gulp!
The eyes of a woman are usually sharp. What has caused her vision to deteriorate to this extent?
"Awoo woo…"
"Why not leave after you have sothing to eat? I have a lot of savory at here." Shangguan Lingxiu asked, "Rest a little here, before you depart.?"
Whitey Two’s eyes shone with pleasure when it heard her words. It looked at Shangguan Lingxiu hesitantly and turned to look at where it ca from before lowering its head to look at its deflated stomach.
"Awoo woo…"
"Alright! Bring them over imdiately, we guarantee that you will be full and have more than enough!" Shangguaan Lingxiu was delighted and ordered her n to move so at over.
Whitey Two was overjoyed and began devouring the at. No matter how fast it feasted, its movents were filled with a natural grace. Gradually, Whitey Two sat down on the floor with folded legs instead and with an agape mouth, it practically inhaled tens catties of at. It chewed twice and lowered its head to take in so more.
After the feast that had inflated its stomach, it finally lifted its head and howled reluctantly, looking at the abundance of leftover at - I’m full! I can’t eat anymore!
Shangguan Lingxiu’s eyes were bulging in their sockets for so ti already - what am I watching? This panther has eaten over six hundred catties of at! My goodness!
Over six hundred catties of mystical beast at for a single al!
A catty of mystical at was one silver tael, at it's cheapest. To rear this fellow ant at least one thousand and eight hundred silver taels a day for three als?
Who could afford such a glutton?
The well-fed panther strolled on the deck and looked into the sky. Shangguan Lingxiu knew that she could no longer ask it to stay, so she waved farewell longingly.
Whitey Two hopped and sprung into the sky, crying excitedly from the air, "ow, ow, ow…"
Its cries baffled the troop of people underneath it.
You're a panther!
You’re a top-level mystical beast! How can you make such a sound?
It overturned one’s conventional values and shattered one's self-worth!
Whitey Two seed to have realized its mistake since it was very easy to have its background exposed when it began to wl, so it made ands quickly, calling out, "Awoo woo, Awoo woo…"
It cried loudly for a few tis before finally leaving swiftly.
Shangguan Lingxiu stood on the deck dumbstruck, feeling her mind groggy and blur.
ow?
Why was the sound so familiar… Oh yes… Yun Yang’s ho had a few cats and they made the sa sound… Those cats seed to also be white…
Was this a coincidence? Would it not be too much of one?
…
"Moor the ship in Lunar River, steer the bow around and keep one side close to the dense forest. Be on guard both day and night, be cautious in everything you do. This way, you can both attack and defend. Once it gets critical, give up the ship and go ashore; retreat into the forest and disperse. Staying alive is prioritized over everything else."
"Even when t with the most precarious situation, all of you must not enter Zilong City when you try to escape!"
"Zilong City is a trap, a death trap set with us as the target!"
Shangguan Lingxiu gripped the letter with a frown.
Supre Wind’s letter had arrived and she had moored the vessel at an entrance to the forest several hundred miles away from Zilong City, according to Supre Wind.
However, they were still so distance away from their destination. How could they complete the target this ti?
There was a trap on the other side, this much she already had plans for. The other party had directly played the last card by wanting to destroy her ancestor’s remains; she had known their lowest limit and there was nothing else to be compromised on. However, Granduncle Wudi’s remains had stayed in Ziyou for too many years and the Shangguan Family of Generals wanted to welco him ho to bury him at the ancestor’s burial site. Even when she knew that the other party had tricks up their sleeves, she had to push through courageously!
It seed that her original goal could not be accomplished now by the looks of the situation. At least, Shangguan Lingxiu had yet to think of an adaptation to be able to enter her ancestorial ho. What worried her more was that if the other party had destroyed her ancestor’s remains from rage because she did not enter their plot; not only would that not benefit both sides, the Shangguan Family of Generals could no longer realize this long-held dream.
"We’ll see what the Empire of Ziyou is playing at. If it can’t do, I’ll bring a few guards and sneak into Zilong City to do it discreetly. No matter what, I have to try my best to take my ancestor’s remains ho."
Shangguan Lingxiu set her will with a frown.
…
Within several days of Yun Yang’s arrival at Zilong City, the entire continent suddenly went through a whirlwind of changes.
The Empire of Yutang’s military forces received multiple military warnings consecutively like falling snowflakes.
The six hundred thousand-strong army of Dongxuan’s Han Sanhe had actually set off officially, amidst the heavy snow and was only a thousand and five hundred miles away from Resilience Fortress!
Estimating that the thousand and five hundred miles of the journey could be covered with the speed of Dongxuan’s Shadow Cavalry, they would arrive in less than three days’ ti in addition to maintaining complete combat power. It also ant that the soonest the war might start would be three days later!
The rest of Dongxuan’s army would all reach after eight days as well.
The most extre warfare would erupt entirely after nine days together!
It was the depth of winter where snowstorms were common. The attacker would never delay their combat opportunity as each postponed day ant pushing their own warriors to the grim reaper once more. They would initiate an attack however fast they could and as nacing as possible.
This war was predictably the most extre and devastating one thus far!
Han Sanhe led the army personally and shuffled all available forces in the nation. The Empire of Dongxuan had announced its military recruitnt as well.
It was heard that the Dongxuan’s emperor’s promise to Han Sanhe regarding this conquest was - "Fight without a worry in the frontline, marshal. I shall attend to duty myself at the back and personally organize the army and foraging teams! This invasion is during midwinter with unprecedentedly harsh conditions but I make my promise here that there won’t be a shortage of resources! No lack of a silver tael! There won’t be insufficient back up military needs nor will there be any lingering woes!"
"The tiger talisman and dragon sword are both in your hands; Marshal Han can freely take the lead on all matters. During the war and on the battlefield, wherever the marshal is, it’ll be as if I’m there!"
"When you set off on your conquest, any attacks in the imperial court will be sentenced as treason without a trial. The entire family is to be beheaded, with no one left behind!!"
"You are the first six hundred thousand-strong army in your conquest of Yutang. I promise that the following three million n, as relief troops, will speed to your assistance in batches and take on the battlefield!"
Han Sanhe’s reply was more morbid, "This official shall requite the nation with death, swearing to create the great dynasty for Your Majesty! If this war suffers, Han Sanhe shall die fighting in the battlefield to requite with death!"
The mantra to conquer the world and thrive for ages to co suddenly blood in Dongxuan and spread to each corner of the empire.
"This conquest is the ti to conquer the world! Dongxuan’s n should enter the battlefield bearing blades and achieve accolades. Build the foundation for Dongxuan, glory for millenniums to co!"
"Imnse accolades! Those with war rits shall soar up high!"
Dongxuan’s n burned with passion and enlisted eagerly like they were hit with adrenaline once they heard the announcent.
The empire’s millennial conquest began today while a man’s lifeti accolades would be collected imdiately!
Behead once and there would be a rank of military rit; behead thrice and there would be the third rank of military rit. Once there was world peace and accolades were given according to rits, those who survived would at least acquire the title of a district inspector! That would be a genuine, official title!
Behead the enemy four tis and one could beco a military official; six-ti and above would make one subordinate or assistant generals…
The sanction of recognition for military rit this ti was very intricately divided!
On the set-off ceremony, Dongxuan’s emperor made an oath to the heaven, "This conquest is different than others. Any encroachnt, fake report, impostor of the military rits - even if it’s a prince who committed the cri, he shall be penalized like an ordinary citizen! Once investigated to be true, one’s imdiate higher authority, secretariat and anyone involved is not to be pardoned and will be sentenced to nine familial exterminations!"
Facing such a royal announcent, Dongxuan was truly buzzing with excitent.
When Han Sanhe set off, the Dongxuan emperor sent him to the city gate wearing full armor. He poured the forr a goblet of wine and sent him off with a bow.
"When you return with victory, I shall lead both the civil and military officials and welco you from a thousand miles away to congratulate this peerless achievent!"
…
Once this explosive news was relayed, Yutang’s entire imperial court was shaken by it.
