Chapter 151: Chapter 150: Yue Fei_1

The next day, Zhang Gan led the Qin Dynasty’s iron cavalry, the Eighteen Cavalry of Yan Yun, and a million ordinary Qin soldiers to the southern part of the empire to block the Wan Dao Domain’s invasion.

The wind whistles mournfully; the Yi River is cold.

On this day, the clear skies above the Imperial Capital were obscured by dark clouds. A bone-chilling wind began to blow, causing the temperature to plunge dramatically and sending a profound chill through those who had gathered to see them off.

「 」

Meanwhile, the imperial court dispatched a special envoy to the northwestern battlefield to urge a swift conclusion to the war.

「 」

"CHARGE!"

War still raged on the desert sands.

The faces of Zhao Yun and his three companions, as well as the Sand Scorpion King, were somewhat pale. All bore injuries of varying degrees, and blood was flowing from their wounds.

The Sand Scorpion King began to panic. It had played all its trump cards in this battle but still failed to defeat its opponents. Instead, it had consumed most of its Spiritual Energy. No, I can’t let this drag on any longer!

If the battle continued and its Spiritual Energy was completely depleted, it would be a toothless, declawed cat.

"Sandstorm! Poison Wind!"

The Sand Scorpion King roared. Its pincers swung, generating a ferocious gale that swept up sand and dust, and this storm carried a toxic mist. The world blurred, obscuring everyone’s vision.

Zhao Yun and the others narrowed their eyes. Gazing at the dim, obscured world, they dared not attack rashly and chose to defend.

When the sandstorm subsided and they looked around, the Sand Scorpion King was gone from the empty Void.

It escaped! Zhao Yun realized. He then raised his spear high and roared to the heavens, "Warriors, we are victorious! We have repelled the Sand Scorpion King!"

"Wansheng! Wansheng! Wansheng..."

A million soldiers roared, their spirits soaring, overcome with excitement. They had actually defeated a Saint King Realm enemy—something they had never imagined, much less dared to dream of.

There was a time when Heaven Realm martial artists were, in their eyes, beings far beyond their reach!

But now, along their path, they had triumphed over Heaven Realm martial artists, those who had entered the Saint Realm, Saint-level experts, and even a Saint King...

Unbelievable! The strength of the Qin Dynasty’s soldiers is this formidable! Nie Feng, watching from concealment, gasped. His usual composure was gone; he was utterly stunned.

This simultaneously reinforced the conviction in his heart.

Once the excitement passed, Zhao Yun calmed himself. His gaze shifted to the distant lands, and he resolved to conquer the territory beneath his feet. "Pass on my order!" he declared. "Occupy the Lonely Sand Area!"

After the order was given, the soldiers’ eyes lit up, and they became even more excited.

Since they had ventured deep into the Great Desert Sea of Sand, they certainly couldn’t return empty-handed!

I came, I conquered!

"Valiant sons of Old Qin, together we face this national peril!"

Chanting their resounding slogan, the army set out, attacking the cities within the ’Lonely Sand Area’. Any members of the Sand Scorpion tribe encountered were slaughtered without mercy.

The path of expansion is always paved with bones, and this time was no exception.

「 」 \n(o)v.e\l.com

"My King, the Qin Dynasty continues to capture our cities and kill many of our people. Should we send soldiers to stop them?"

In the Desert Palace, the power center of the Sand Scorpion tribe and the Sand Scorpion King’s royal palace, a grand complex constructed after their emergence, Scorpion Shadow inquired, his voice trembling.

"There’s no need. Tell the tribe to retreat."

The Sand Scorpion King sat on its throne, recovering from its injuries. Upon hearing news of the Qin Dynasty’s invasion, a glint of murderous intent flashed in its eyes, yet helplessness was the dominant emotion.

The Qin Empire’s army formation was overwhelmingly powerful. Though it could resist, achieving victory was highly uncertain.

Besides, it dared not take such a risk. If any mishap befell it, the tribe, lacking a Saint King’s protection, would face utter annihilation.

The only option now was to temporarily avoid the spearhead of the Qin Empire, lie low, preserve their strength, and await an opportune moment.

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

Scorpion Shadow sighed inwardly and departed with complex emotions to relay the orders.

Once the Sand Scorpion King’s orders were disseminated, the Qin Empire’s conquest accelerated. In just two days, they successfully occupied the ’Lonely Sand Area’, reclaiming this vast territory from the foreign tribe.

「 」

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for occupying the ’Lonely Sand Area’. Sign-in reward: General Yue Fei!"

In the Imperial Capital, as Qin Wudao was contemplating how to repel the Wan Dao Domain’s invasion, he was suddenly startled by the system’s notification.

What happened? How could a domain within the Great Desert Sea of Sand have been occupied? Could Zhao Yun and his forces have defeated the Sand Scorpion tribe and actually seized one of their domains? Qin Wudao wondered in astonishment.

But soon, he dismissed these questions. The capture of the ’Lonely Sand Area’ signified that the northwestern front was progressing favorably, allowing him to concentrate fully on the Wan Dao Domain’s invasion.

"System," Qin Wudao said, "show me Yue Fei’s information!"

As soon as he spoke, a wealth of information about Yue Fei flooded his mind. Vivid text and images unfolded, recounting the legendary life of this hero of the common people.

Yue Fei, a renowned general of the Southern Song Dynasty famous for his resistance against the Jin Dynasty, was also a military strategist, national hero, calligrapher, and poet. He was ranked first among the "Four Marshals of the Restoration" of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Beginning at age twenty, Yue Fei joined the army four times. He commanded hundreds of battles, both large and small. He successively recaptured Jiankang, the six commanderies of Xiangyang, and launched offensives to seize territories such as Shangzhou and Guozhou.

Later, when the Jin army marched south, Yue Fei led his forces on a northern expedition, successfully recapturing Zhengzhou, Luoyang, and other key locations.

However, despite his monumental achievements, he did not meet a good end. During peace negotiations between the Song and Jin dynasties, he was framed and imprisoned, ultimately resulting in the destruction of his family and his own unjust death.

His life was the very embodiment of "serving the country with utmost loyalty."

What a pity! Qin Wudao sighed, feeling a deep sense of injustice for Yue Fei.

Name: Yue Fei!

Cultivation Level: Great Saint Level!

Cultivation Technique: "Loyal and Righteous Mantra"!

Troop Type: Accompanied by ten thousand Bei Wei Army troops!

Comes with his own troops, this is an unexpected boon! Qin Wudao’s eyebrows rose slightly, a hint of a smile gracing his lips. Now, with the Wan Dao Domain invading, reinforcements were crucial. The addition of ten thousand ’Bei Wei Army’ troops would significantly alleviate the pressure on the front lines.

"Summon!" Qin Wudao commanded.

BOOM!

Above, the sky filled with gathering dark clouds. A giant vortex appeared, from which an aura of iron resolve and slaughter emanated, hinting at a terrifying presence within.

"What’s that?"

The citizens of the Imperial Capital looked up, their faces filled with curiosity.

The soldiers garrisoning the city grew vigilant. Numerous powerful experts took to the air, poised to act at any moment.

Under the watch of countless eyes, squadrons of soldiers clad in blood-red armor, wielding battle weapons and exuding a formidable aura, flew out from the vortex in disciplined formations.

Upon their appearance, a terrifying aura of slaughter enveloped the entire Imperial Capital. Everyone felt their hearts grow heavy, as if crushed by a great mountain, leaving them struggling for breath.

"Such a powerful army!"

"An unparalleled legion!"

Many well-informed individuals exclaimed in awe.

Qin Wudao also stepped out of the Imperial Palace and stood on the steps, hands clasped behind his back, gazing up at the sky. He nodded in satisfaction.

"Yue Fei, General of the Bei Wei Army, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

A resonant, powerful voice descended from the nine heavens, its echoes lingering long in the air.

A general clad in blood-red armor, wielding a war spear and radiating a sky-encompassing aura, strode out. With each step he took, the Void trembled. He finally landed in the Imperial Palace grounds and knelt on one knee before Qin Wudao.

At this moment, his aura was retracted. Yet, his seemingly ordinary physique radiated an extraordinary brilliance, like a dazzling star.

In his previous life, he too had been like a star, but its brilliance was tragically short-lived.
