“I wonder when His Majesty Shengwu King will arrive at Tianmen Pass!” Shen Jianting inquired.
With Da Li’s recent defeat, a Martial Saint expert would surely come. Without such a figure to hold the fort, Tianmen Pass would be unstable.
“The soonest will be tomorrow,” Sawyer Shangguan replied.
“In that case, I can rest easy… cough, cough!” Shen Jianting forcibly swallowed the blood rising in his throat.
“Father!”
“General, Marquis!”
Shen Jianting waved his hand, indicating he was fine.
“Everyone, please rest at Tianmen Pass for now. Once my army finishes cleaning the battlefield, we will host a banquet to welcome you,” Shen Jianting said to Felix Wu, Xiao Chuyi, and others.
“Marquis, please go ahead. Military affairs are urgent,” Xiao Chuyi nodded.
“Liang, take the generals to rest and settle our allied troops,” Shen Jianting instructed his son Shen Liang.
“Yes, Father!”
Shen Liang took the order and turned to Felix Wu and the others, “Generals, please!”
“Thank you!”
Led by Shen Liang, Felix Wu and the others were settled in the barracks of the western district.
Along the way, the General Who Guards the East’s army looked at the River West cavalry with admiration and respect.
This battle had been terrifying; the River West cavalry had slaughtered countless enemies, causing Da Li’s forces to suffer heavy losses.
Their impressive achievements had won everyone’s respect.
“Generals, the conditions are simple, please don’t mind,” Shen Liang said to Felix Wu and the others.
“We are all soldiers; we don’t care about such things.”
After settling down, Felix Wu and the others began to count their wounded and fallen soldiers.
…
Oliver Sheng glanced at the golden Light Screen. The Kill Points had risen to over 990,000 before stopping, and he couldn’t help but smile.
It seemed the battle at Tianmen Pass had ended.
Felix Wu and the others had slain so many enemies.
Leading his army, Oliver Sheng arrived at Tianmen Pass the next afternoon.
Upon receiving news of Oliver Sheng’s arrival, Shen Jianting led the General Who Guards the East’s army to the west gate to welcome him.
The iron armor gleamed coldly, and the military force was overwhelming!
Seeing the 8,000 heavy cavalry, the General Who Guards the East’s soldiers were all shocked.
What a terrifying presence.
Even a Grandmaster felt a strong sense of oppression.
Such a strong army, even a Grandmaster would fall if surrounded.
“All of them are heavy cavalry above the Martial Master Realm. How did His Majesty Shengwu King build such a strong army?” Shen Liang’s eyes were full of admiration.
If their army had such powerful troops, they wouldn’t need to defend the city; they could just charge out and sweep the enemy away.
The 8,000 heavy cavalry above the Martial Master Realm made the General Who Guards the East’s soldiers gasp in awe.
They had thought Felix Wu and the others’ cavalry was the elite of the River West Army.
Now it seemed they had underestimated the Shengwu King’s River West Army.
These heavy cavalry were the true elite.
Surrounded by his army, Oliver Sheng arrived at the front of Tianmen Pass.
In a red robe on a white horse, the young man was unparalleled in his heroic bearing, exuding an aura that could cover mountains and rivers!
This was Shen Jianting’s first impression of Oliver Sheng.
The Shengwu King of Great Wei, an unparalleled expert in the Martial Saint Realm!
“Greetings to His Majesty Shengwu King!!”
The General Who Guards the East’s soldiers all cupped their fists and bowed to Oliver Sheng.
“At ease, soldiers!” Oliver Sheng raised his hand slightly.
This was the Martial King, a figure of high status. Even Shen Jianting, a marquis, had to bow before Oliver Sheng.
“Thank you, Martial King!”
“Let’s go, into the city!” With Oliver Sheng’s arrival, he became the highest authority at Tianmen Pass.
With Empress Hazel Han’s Imperial Edict, he could command all affairs in the eastern region.
Oliver Sheng’s arrival brought relief to the entire General Who Guards the East’s army.
“Shengwu King, I have arranged a banquet to welcome you,” Shen Jianting said.
“Alright!”
Oliver Sheng nodded, glancing at Shen Jianting, whose internal energy was unstable, True Essence depleted, and organs seemed severely injured.
“Marquis Shen is seriously injured. Did you encounter a strong enemy?”
“Your Majesty, just some minor injuries, nothing serious. I will recover soon,” Shen Jianting replied.
Seeing this, Oliver Sheng said no more. It was clear that the Marquis was a proud man.
In his space, he naturally had seventh-grade healing pills, but seeing Shen Jianting’s determination, Oliver Sheng did not interfere further.
Upon arriving at Tianmen Pass, Oliver Sheng took over the command of the eastern region’s war for Great Wei.
The next day, he led his army out of the pass, heading towards Shulie City of Da Li.
Seeing the army from Tianmen Pass approaching, Wen Renli, who was temporarily in charge, knew that Great Wei’s Martial King had arrived.
“Order the army to retreat quickly!”
Without a Martial Saint expert from Da Li, their remaining forces couldn’t hold Shulie City.
Thus, the Great Wei army took Shulie City without bloodshed.
The war had turned into an offensive for Great Wei!
At this moment, the roles of attacker and defender had reversed!
…
Da Li Palace!
When Emperor Zhao Qingwu of Da Li received the war report from the western region, his eyes widened.
Looking at the numbers on the report, his hands trembled.
The maids and eunuchs around him, sensing something was wrong, all lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.
“Good, good, a fine Shengwu King of Great Wei!!”
“Useless, all useless!!”
Emperor Zhao erupted in anger, cursing Xu Rongchang and Zhang Jian.
Seventy thousand troops, a full seventy thousand troops, all lost because of these two. What else could they be but useless?
Those were his seventy thousand troops, not seventy pigs, yet fifty thousand were lost in one battle.
Seeing the furious Emperor Zhao, the maids and eunuchs felt the air grow colder.
“Seventy thousand troops, my seventy thousand troops, gone just like that!”
At the same time, this filled Emperor Zhao with a sense of dread.
Could Wen Renli alone hold off that Shengwu King of Great Wei?
Coincidentally, he had sent someone to investigate the Huns.
The news had arrived.
“Your Majesty, the report on the Huns has arrived,” a royal guard reported.
“Speak, what about the Huns? Why did they let Shengwu King head south!” Emperor Zhao wished he could take the Grand Chanyu’s head and kick it like a ball.
Originally, with three forces attacking Wei and the Southern Border tribes also rising against Great Wei, they had the advantage. It wouldn’t have been hard to invade Great Wei.
But Shengwu King’s sudden move south had caught Da Li off guard, leaving them stunned.
“Your Majesty, the report says… says…”
The guard hesitated, not daring to speak the shocking news he had received.
“Speak clearly! Since when did you become so hesitant?” Emperor Zhao, already in a foul mood, scolded harshly.
The guard, steeling himself, reported, “Your Majesty, the report says the Huns have been wiped out by Shengwu King of Great Wei and his troops.”
“Boom!”
Emperor Zhao felt as if his head had been struck by a heavy hammer.
If the defeat of seventy thousand troops in the western region had made him furious, the news of the Huns’ annihilation filled him with terror.
An army that could destroy a nation?
How powerful must Shengwu King be?!!
It took Emperor Zhao a while to regain his composure.
“Is the report confirmed?!” Emperor Zhao asked, unwilling to believe it.
What if he had misheard, or the report was wrong?
“Your Majesty, the report has been verified three times!!”
Emperor Zhao panicked. He was truly panicking now.
He knew the strength of the nomadic Huns.
It was said that the Huns had an Ancestor at the Great Perfection of the Martial Saint Realm, and even they were wiped out. He couldn’t imagine how powerful Oliver Sheng must be.
No, the western states and counties were in danger. He couldn’t let Great Wei invade.
This was Emperor Zhao’s thought.
If Great Wei’s army invaded, and Da Li followed the Huns’ fate, he would become a ruler of a fallen nation!
“Someone, prepare the carriage to the Wujidian, quickly!!” Emperor Zhao shouted in panic.
He needed to ask the Ancestor to come out and resist Shengwu King of Great Wei.
