The Nanxu Soldiers could finally see...

A Heavenly Army!

Heavenly Soldiers and Generals!

Black mystic iron armor, merging with golden spears and iron horses;

Clouds and mist enshrouding, Divine Weapons gleaming sharply.

It happened just at sunrise.

Strands of golden light pierced the dense fog, casting brilliance upon the black armor, radiating a sacred and solemn aura.

It was as if Heavenly Gods had descended to the mortal world, truly an ascension of a mortal army to immortality!

For a moment.

The Nanxu Soldiers were so astonished that they found themselves gaping.

To say nothing of resisting, they had even forgotten to flee.

"Clank—"

Only when the iron flood roared past, and sprays of blood burst forth in the white mist, did the Nanxu Soldiers finally snap out of it, plunging into boundless and endless panic.

"Immortals!"

"There are Immortals!"

"Heavenly Soldiers and Generals!"

"..."

"Pff—"

A plague named "fear" began to spread through the hundred-thousand-strong army.

"They're not Heavenly Soldiers and Generals..."

Assistant General Xin Qifan saw with his own eyes, amidst the fog, a black general's banner adorned with red brocade borders fluttering wildly, emblazoned with a gold character exuding a powerful aura of murder—Chen!

The "Chen" banner!

It was Dasheng!

It was the White Robe!

"It's the people from Hulaoguan who have broken out!"

Xin Qifan bellowed loudly, "Hold steady! Form up, form up—"

"What's going on!"

"Weren't they holding talks?"

"Why has the fighting resumed!"

"30,000!"

"They have over 30,000 men!"

"It's 300,000!"

"Look for yourselves!"

"Stop spouting bullshit, at most there are 50,000, where would 300,000 come from!"

Xin Qifan beheaded a soldier whose words were shaking the army's morale.

However, it still did not reverse the chaotic situation.

The Nanxu Army.

They were utterly unprepared!

More crucially...

There was no one to command them!

In the current situation, what was most needed was someone to stabilize things!

These Assistant Generals could not do it!

At the very least, a General was needed.

But the issue was...

All of them were ten miles away at the Central Army Tent, negotiating!

"Ah!"

The cry of anguish rose consecutively.

The vanguard began to lose control and collapse.

"Run!!!"

"..."

"General!"

"Quickly notify the Prince and the Generals!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Dasheng is charging!"

"..."

...

Central Army Tent.

"General Fang!"

```

Shuzhen reminded, "It's time!"

"That's right, General Fang."

Ran Jingxuan asked, "How have you considered it?"

"Good."

Fang Qingyun said slowly, "I agree to everything."

"Agree to everything?!"

Shuzhen snickered coldly.

No one would believe those words.

If they were true, it would be like a pie falling from the sky.

"Very well."

Ran Jingxuan did not expose the lie but simply said, "Since that is the case, General Fang, please sign on behalf of Sheng Country, and then carry out our agreement immediately. After that, we will all return to Da Xu."

The implication was clear

They wanted to take hostages.

"General Sha!"

Fang Qingyun called out, "You stay; the rest of us will go."

"?"

Before Sha Wenlong could object.

Ran Jingxuan vetoed, "General Fang, that won't do. This matter is of great importance, and none of you can leave before the dust has settled. But rest assured, as long as you truly abide by the contract, Da Xu will ensure you are treated as honored guests."

"Everyone stays?"

Fang Qingyun said, "Someone has to return with the message, right? Not only must we show sincerity, but shouldn't you from Nan Xu also show some sincerity?"

In the midst of the argument.

Suddenly, there was a clamor outside.

"What's going on?!"

Shuzhen shouted loudly.

"Prince!"

"Prince!"

An Assistant General stumbled into the tent, babbling, "It's bad, really bad! The Sheng people inside Hulaoguan suddenly launched an attack on our military formation. There are so many of them; we can't hold them back, can't hold back..."

"Damn it!!!"

Shuzhen exploded with rage, seizing his Weapon in an instant, and bellowed, "Fang Qingyun, is this your idea of negotiations?!"

Ran Jingxuan was utterly astonished.

He simply couldn't believe it.

Inside Hulaoguan, the generals were all trapped here.

Chen Sansi led his small force in a charge?

Wasn't this...

Suicidal?

"Chen Sansi has broken through?!" Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire

Sha Wenlong scratched his head in disbelief, "Has he gone mad?"

This was utterly preposterous.

Wasn't this a death sentence for them!

"Prince, don't panic!"

Ran Jingxuan assured him, "What he's doing is pointless. If he slaughters these men, Hulaoguan will be left with no Mysterious Phenomenons, and the man named Chen would be signing his own death warrant."

"The strategist speaks wisely!"

"I have a hundred thousand troops; how could I be afraid of a mere Meridian Passage!"

"Guards!"

Shuzhen, pointing his Bladeless Giant Sword at Fang Qingyun and the others, gave the order.

Bushwhackers, long prepared, poured out all at once. Countless blades, spears, swords, halberds, and Mystical Iron Shields surrounded the Central Army Tent layer by layer.

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Sha Wenlong hastily explained, "Lord Fan, we truly came to negotiate. Chen acted on his own, which has nothing to do with us! Isn't that right, General Fang..."

Only then did he notice.

Fang Qingyun and Wang Zhi's faces showed no surprise, as if they had anticipated how things would unfold.

"You..."

Sha Wenlong couldn't accept it, "You knew all along, was it planned?!"

He was completely in the dark.

In fact, Deng Feng didn't know either, but he didn't care; he simply obeyed orders, doing whatever he was told, even if it meant death.

"Fang Qingyun!"

Shuzhen mocked angrily, "To think I negotiated with you in good faith, and yet you, a despicable and shameless wretch, dare to play me, attack!"

"Prepare to die—"
