Some rejoice while others grieve!!
The lands of Da Li and Da Chu are shrouded in gloom and despair.
Yet, Great Wei is celebrating nationwide.
The rebellion of the demonic sects within the country has been suppressed, and the army, following the Empress’s orders, has marched into Da Li, obeying the commands of the Shengwu King to attack Da Li’s territories.
Countless armies of Great Wei have surged into Da Li, occupying its cities and garrisoning the conquered lands to prevent any rebellion.
“Hahaha, long live the Shengwu King!!”
“The Shengwu King is unstoppable. Even Da Li will fall under the might of our Great Wei.”
“Indeed, even the Kunlun Daoist Sect, second in the world, was annihilated by the Shengwu King. Da Li is nothing in comparison, and soon even Da Chu will be conquered by our Great Wei.”
“Our Great Wei is destined to unify the Central Plains, achieving a unity that has been sought for thousands of years.”
“Hahaha… the world has been divided for too long; it is time for unification.”
“Our Great Wei, under the leadership of the Shengwu King, is heading towards new glory and heights.”
The common people of Great Wei have been celebrating with great joy these days, as if they too had participated in the conquests of the front-line armies.
In the Great Wei Palace.
Envoys from Da Li and Da Chu are desperately pleading with Empress Hazel Han, begging Great Wei to cease its military advances.
“Your Majesty, my emperor implores Great Wei to stop attacking Da Li. My emperor is willing to cede the nine provinces of the western border to Great Wei and compensate for the military expenses.” The envoy from Da Li is still attempting to persuade Great Wei to abandon its assault on Da Li.
“Heh, don’t you think that’s a bit of wishful thinking? Our Great Wei army has already occupied over twenty provinces of Da Li and will soon conquer the entire region. And now you want us to withdraw?” Minister of War, Gavin Wang, stepped forward and laughed.
“This world has been divided for too long; it’s not right, not right at all!!” Left Minister Quentin Fu said with a sigh.
“Indeed, the Left Minister speaks wisely.”
“Ah yes, yes, it seems our Great Wei is destined by heaven to unify the Central Plains.”
The courtiers of Great Wei have been all smiles during this time.
Who wouldn’t want to govern the entire world?
They too wish to rule the entire realm.
Seeing the court of Great Wei clamoring for the unification of the Central Plains, the envoys from Da Li and Da Chu looked utterly despondent.
There’s no hope, no hope at all!!
Empress Hazel Han’s face was flushed, as if she had just eaten an ice-cold watermelon on a scorching summer day.
Oliver Sheng truly gave her a tremendous surprise.
Although her ambition was also to unify the Central Plains, it was merely a thought.
But now, Oliver Sheng is close to making it a reality for her.
With the Kunlun Daoist Sect destroyed and the ancestors of Da Li and Da Chu dead, who can stop Oliver Sheng’s advance?
Now, unifying the Central Plains is merely a matter of time.
“Beloved secretaries, what do you think our Great Wei should do to govern the unified Central Plains, and what policies should we implement?” the Empress asked with a smile.
“Your Majesty, I believe…”
The envoys from Da Li and Da Chu felt as if they had swallowed something foul, as they listened to discussions on how to govern the lands of Da Li and Da Chu right in front of them. Was this appropriate?
……
Oliver Sheng now leads his army, sweeping through one province and county after another.
Many provinces and counties, upon hearing Oliver Sheng’s reputation, opened their gates and surrendered.
Those who resisted were crushed into pulp by the army, turning into kill points.
“Wesley Hu, Felix Wu, Harrison Zhou…”
Oliver Sheng summoned his loyal troops, looking at Wesley Hu and the others.
“You each lead a team to capture the provinces and counties along the way. Kill all who resist.”
“Yes, General!!”
Wesley Hu, Felix Wu, Harrison Zhou, and the others accepted their orders with excitement, then set off with their respective troops.
Now, within Da Li, there are few armies left willing to resist.
The six armies led by Wesley Hu, Felix Wu, Harrison Zhou, Xiao Chuyi, Sawyer Shangguan, and Lin Jiang, with their iron cavalry, crushed all who dared to resist beneath their hooves.
The General Who Guards the East’s army, the provincial army summoned by Oliver Sheng, and the forces dispatched by the Empress were all stationed to guard the conquered territories.
Oliver Sheng now leads Cameron Guo with ten thousand Wei Wu troops, Chi Tiansheng’s eight thousand heavy cavalry, and seventy thousand surrendered troops from Da Li, advancing towards the royal city of Da Li.
The Da Li royal family had either fled or gone into hiding.
Only Emperor Zhao Qingwu, with two hundred thousand loyal troops of Da Li, remained in the royal city, awaiting Oliver Sheng’s arrival.
This was Da Li’s final swan song!
……
“To the commander defending the city ahead, I am Wesley Hu, an Imperial General under the Shengwu King. I now order you to open the city gates and surrender immediately. If you dare to resist, my army will show no mercy.” Wesley Hu shouted to the garrison from outside the city walls.
Seeing the army outside, the garrison on the walls was filled with dread.
The fame of Oliver Sheng of Great Wei is known throughout the world!
“General, what should we do?” the deputy general on the wall asked.
“What should we do? Da Li is nearly finished. What do you think we should do? Of course, we should open the gates and surrender!”
Under the command of the defending general, Wesley Hu’s troops took the city without bloodshed.
“Serve the emperor, be loyal to the emperor, for Da Li, follow me to fight.” Some loyalists of Da Li led their troops in a counterattack.
“Army, charge, leave no one alive!!” Harrison Zhou immediately led his troops in a charge.
As Oliver Sheng’s subordinates reclaimed other provinces and counties, Oliver Sheng led his army to the royal city of Da Li.
Seeing the massive army outside the capital, Zhao Qingwu couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.
“Hahaha…”
“Has our Da Li’s King of Martial Arts become a surrendered general for others, coming to attack our Da Li’s capital?” Zhao Qingwu laughed from the city wall.
His voice echoed across the land.
Wen Renshu, Harrison Zhou, and other surrendered generals felt uneasy, but quickly composed themselves.
Now that they had surrendered to Oliver Sheng, they were effectively part of Great Wei’s army.
“Surrender, and I may grant you dignity in death, or else face annihilation!” Oliver Sheng said calmly, looking at Emperor Zhao on the city wall.
“Shengwu King of Great Wei, I respect your invincibility, but to ask me to surrender is impossible,” Zhao Qingwu replied.
Why wasn’t such a person born in Da Li?
The heavens favored Great Wei so much!
Zhao Qingwu was furious at the heavens’ injustice!
If Oliver Sheng had been born in Da Li, it would be Da Li unifying the world.
“In that case, I will grant you your final dignity!”
“Army, attack the city!!” Oliver Sheng waved his hand.
“Charge!!”
With Oliver Sheng’s command, the army launched an assault on the capital of Da Li.
Gao Chongyuan, Cheng Bufa, Tang Baichuan, and two royal Great Grandmasters stepped forward to join the attack.
“Men, are you afraid to die?” Zhao Qingwu asked his last two hundred thousand troops of Da Li.
“Not afraid, not afraid!”
“Loyal to the country, die for the country, it is an honorable death.”
“Good, fight with me, and we shall live and die with Da Li!!” Zhao Qingwu shouted.
This was Da Li’s last stand!
“Charge!!”
Amidst the battle cries and shouts, Emperor Zhao died on the walls of Da Li’s capital!
Two hundred thousand troops perished for their country.
Oliver Sheng led his army into the city, occupying the capital of Da Li.
“Victory!”
“Victory!!”
The army cheered and celebrated as they marched triumphantly into the capital of Da Li.
At this moment, the Da Li Dynasty became history, falling amidst the ruins of war.
As the Great Wei army took control of the royal city of Da Li, many hidden citizens of the capital emerged.
Countless people sighed, witnessing the end of Da Li, which had existed for over a thousand years, meeting its demise.
