The sight of the soldiers, especially with their detestable smiles, completely ignited Er Zhu Rong's fury.
In the past, the Great Han Divine Dynasty, standing in the Western Frontier, was not regarded as an opponent by the beings of the Celestial Dynasty of Heaven's Traverse. They were considered unworthy. Today, this million-strong army, along with the dozens, or even hundreds, of cities behind this fortress, would make the Celestial Dynasty of Heaven's Traverse remember the Great Han Divine Dynasty they had once overlooked.
"By the decree of the Divine Emperor, we shall obliterate Heaven's Traverse!"
Er Zhu Rong's eyes narrowed, threads of killing intent spilling forth.
"The Great Han Divine Dynasty, is it? I, this general, will watch from within these city walls as you attack our Celestial Dynasty of Heaven's Traverse. Aren't you afraid you'll choke to death!"
A supreme副将, observing the gradually moving White Tiger army, sneered and spoke coldly to those below.
"Hmm?"
"Seeking death!"
Er Zhu Rong, astride his warhorse, was instantly enraged, his gaze fixed on the deputy general standing on the city wall.
"White Tiger Legion!!"
"Follow me into battle!"
"Leave no one alive!"
Er Zhu Rong stepped into the void, shouting loudly. He held a pair of curved sabers in his hands, and behind him, the million-strong army roared in the void!
The firmament trembled with a hum!
A white tiger strode forth, more terrifying and formidable than the white tiger coalesced by Cao Wei's command. Threads of white killing aura descended, shattering the void inch by inch.
Er Zhu Rong!
Unlike other emerging heroes, he was a formidable figure, a schemer who manipulated the court!
The enemy's blatant disregard for the Great Han Divine Dynasty, for him, could only be compensated by the blood of a million beings within this city. Only then could the prestige of the Great Han Divine Dynasty be established, and his own name, Er Zhu Rong, be renowned!
"White Tiger Legion!"
Er Zhu Rong brought his pair of curved sabers to his chest and roared. The divine beast, the white tiger, its eyes shot out red light, which merged into Er Zhu Rong's sabers. In the sky, it seemed as if two blood-colored tusks, thousands of feet large, had appeared, vibrating violently, as if they might descend at any moment!
"Come on!"
"Ants!"
"Let this general see how truly lowly you humans are!"
"Kill!"
Er Zhu Rong's eyes turned red. The two blood-colored tusks directly descended. Traces of terrifying aura surged from the tusks, suppressing all directions. The city's protective formation could not intercept it and instantly shattered!
In an instant, several deputy generals perished. Even the commanding general was buried beneath the earth by the collapsing city wall. As for the soldiers, the number of casualties was truly immeasurable.
The soldiers who survived were filled with terror. They had never expected, and could hardly believe, that the human race, which had virtually no presence in the Western Frontier, could break through their Celestial Dynasty of Heaven's Traverse's border formation today!
Even several supreme deputy generals, a legion commander, and a strong practitioner of the Small Heavenly Venerate realm were now buried by flying debris, their fates unknown!
"White Tiger Legion!!"
"The million-strong army of the Celestial Dynasty of Heaven's Traverse, leave no one alive!"
"Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, sever all their heads! I will make them into a mound of skulls!"
Er Zhu Rong dispersed the blood-colored sabers and said coldly. Even Cao Wei, who followed closely behind him, tried to speak several times but ultimately remained silent. Afterward, he stepped directly into the city, surveying the surroundings.
"Kill!"
The White Tiger Legion's fury erupted. Only slaughter could quell the anger in their hearts. Three hours later, a mound of skulls, a hundred feet high, was erected by Er Zhu Rong in the center of the city fortress.
As for himself, he had already led the million-strong army towards the heartland of the Celestial Dynasty of Heaven's Traverse, charging forth!
...
Mid-December of the thirty-ninth year of Great Han.
The Azure Profound Immortal Dynasty, the Great Han Divine Dynasty, and the Deer-Chasing Immortal Dynasty formed an alliance to attack the Celestial Dynasty of Heaven's Traverse. Within days, the Celestial Dynasty of Heaven's Traverse retreated while fighting, suffering more losses than victories, losing thousands of cities and forty Dao states.
To the shock of countless beings, out of the forty Dao states, twenty were occupied by the Great Han Divine Dynasty.
Several days later, in order to stabilize the border front, the Celestial Dynasty of Heaven's Traverse signed a non-aggression treaty with the Great Han Divine Dynasty. This was to stabilize the Great Han Divine Dynasty so they could focus their efforts on eliminating the most powerful Azure Profound Immortal Dynasty and the Deer-Chasing Immortal Dynasty.
They promised the Great Han Divine Dynasty countless cultivation resources and acknowledged the cession of twenty Dao states to the Great Han Divine Dynasty.
This move by the Celestial Dynasty of Heaven's Traverse was simply because they had not yet recognized the true foundation of the Great Han Divine Dynasty. In their eyes, from beginning to end, they believed that once the Azure Profound and the Deer-Chasing were pacified, the Western Frontier would be theirs for the taking.
Following Li Si's advice, Yang Hao temporarily signed the non-aggression treaty. The twenty Dao states were incorporated into the Great Han Divine Dynasty. In return, Yang Hao received nearly two hundred million points of luck and merit.
Without further thought, Yang Hao chose to enhance his own cultivation realm. Using three hundred and fifty million points of luck and merit, Yang Hao directly stepped into the Quasi-Supreme realm.
As a result, all the emerging heroes were promoted by four minor realms.
After expending three hundred and fifty million points to improve his realm, Yang Hao used the remaining luck and merit to upgrade the Twelve Golden Figures.
The second level of the Twelve Golden Figures could kill beings in the Small Heavenly Venerate realm!
Several days later.
"Divine Emperor!"
"Your humble servant believes we can proceed to the next step!"
Inside the Imperial Affairs Office, Li Si said with a smile.
"Indeed!"
Yang Hao stood up and said, "The Celestial Dynasty of Heaven's Traverse has signed a non-aggression treaty with our Great Han, providing us with sufficient time to digest our gains. The vigilance along this border has also gradually relaxed."
"How far has the Southern Deer-Chasing Immortal Dynasty advanced?"
"Divine Emperor, please look!"
Du Ruhui opened the map. "The Grand Tutor of the Deer-Chasing Immortal Dynasty, Ying Yunheng, and the Grand Tutor, Lu Zhong, are leading a five-million-strong army and are stationed in Fengyue City in the southern part of the Celestial Dynasty of Heaven's Traverse. Not far to their north, the Royal Son of the Celestial Dynasty of Heaven's Traverse, Miao Guan, and the Great General Yin Ze are leading troops in a standoff. The current situation is a stalemate, with the outcome uncertain."
"At Beixia Pass, in the north of the Celestial Dynasty of Heaven's Traverse, three days ago, General Lan Yu led the Azure Profound army and conquered this place. This battle lasted for several days, during which the King of Azure Profound Immortal Dynasty, Qing Yao, died, as did the Grand Commandant of the Celestial Dynasty of Heaven's Traverse. There is currently no ongoing conflict!"
"It seems these three factions have been fighting quite well recently, Hahaha!!"
Yang Hao looked at the map and laughed heartily. The officials in the Imperial Affairs Office also burst into laughter.
For the past dozen days, the Great Han had fully consolidated the twenty Dao states and could now turn its attention to further conquest.
During these past dozen days, the Azure Profound Immortal Dynasty, the Celestial Dynasty of Heaven's Traverse, and the Deer-Chasing Immortal Dynasty had been engaged in fierce fighting, suffering heavy losses. Even beings in the Small Heavenly Venerate realm had fallen one after another!
"It is time to obliterate the Celestial Dynasty of Heaven's Traverse and take control of the Western Frontier!"
"Issue the decree!"
Boom!
All the officials in the Imperial Affairs Office knelt on their knees.
"Command! Er Zhu Rong, Tian Dan, and Fu Cun Shen, lead the White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Split-Heaven Rhinoceros legions, and strike directly at the Heavenly Palace of Heaven's Traverse!"
"Command! Lan Yu and Kuai Tong, continue to mobilize the elite forces of the Azure Profound Immortal Dynasty and maintain pressure on the northern part of the Celestial Dynasty of Heaven's Traverse!"
"I want the Celestial Dynasty of Heaven's Traverse swept away within half a month, and the Western Frontier unified!"
