Chapter 1128: Chapter 1127: War Begins

It was this change that caused land prices in certain areas of the King’s city to skyrocket.

On the same morning, the Skyfire Dynasty issued a long announcement across its territory. The gist was: the Xuanqing Dynasty unjustly attacked our Skyfire Dynasty, leading to countless civilians falling victim to the war, dying tragically. Later, they conspired with evil cultivation sects to perform blood sacrifices in the cities, resulting in the deaths of millions of innocent souls.

Today, State Preceptor Qin Hao will lead a million-strong God Demon Army to launch an attack on the Xuanqing Dynasty to seek vengeance and also to rescue the innocent civilians of the Xuanqing Dynasty.

...

This announcement from the Dynasty spread swiftly across various cities.

Moreover, there were designated personnel in every city to explain it, so almost everyone knew about Qin Hao’s expedition against the Xuanqing Dynasty.

At this moment, Qin Hao had already arrived at the major eastern border town, where the grand formation of the million-strong God Demon Army was on high alert. Besides the God Demon Army, there was also an eighty-thousand-strong cannon fodder corps.

Both corps were gathered outside the city, with Qin Hao hovering in the air before the massive army.

His gaze flickered with light, his expression cold and calm: "Today, we officially go to war with the Xuanqing Dynasty. All commanders follow my lead. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be executed on the spot. Any who dare to desert will be executed without mercy."

This last sentence was directed at the cannon fodder corps, whose members were originally soldiers of the Xuanqing Dynasty and couldn’t be compared to the God Demon Army in terms of loyalty and capability.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The soldiers of the God Demon Army were incredibly excited; they had been waiting for this day for half a month, and it had finally come.

Their blood was boiling, their hands gripping their spears tightly.

The people of the cannon fodder corps felt the imposing momentum of the God Demon Army, causing their legs to tremble and faces to turn pale. How could these people be so excited about going to battle? Could it be because of those rewards?

Thinking of those rewards, hope arose in the hearts of the cannon fodder corps; as long as we kill enough enemies, we too could become marquises and generals, as he promised us before tens of thousands of people.

"Move out!"

Seeing these ravenous soldiers, Qin Hao was very satisfied; this was exactly the momentum he desired.

Nearly two hundred thousand troops set out at the same time, and two hours later, they arrived at Tianhong City, a major border town of the Xuanqing Dynasty.

At this time, Tianhong City was garrisoned by a million troops of the Xuanqing Dynasty to prevent an invasion by the Skyfire Dynasty.

The generals of the Xuanqing Dynasty in Tianhong City felt uneasy seeing Qin Hao leading nearly two hundred thousand troops to attack.

They were all aware of the terrifying combat prowess of the Skyfire Dynasty’s State Preceptor, Qin Hao, who had single-handedly eliminated many experts from the Demon God Sect. Although the army here was sizable, they didn’t have any true experts, nor had the Demon God Sect sent any here.

At this moment, a general from the Skyfire Dynasty spoke: "Hear me, people of Tianhong City! Today, our State Preceptor leads the campaign personally. You must open the city gates and surrender quickly to spare your lives; otherwise, once the army enters the city, those who wish to surrender will not be spared."

"Spare those who surrender!"

The soldiers of the God Demon Army shouted with raised arms, their momentum overwhelmingly strong.

Qin Hao’s figure floated in the sky, his voice booming like thunder: "These are your soldiers of the Xuanqing Dynasty. If you surrender now, you can also enjoy the military merit reward system of our Skyfire Dynasty. Surely you must have heard of the rewards of my Dynasty. I give you one last chance; if you do not open the city gates and surrender in ten minutes, then Tianhong City will be leveled."

...

The generals and soldiers within Tianhong City were momentarily stunned, having heard bits about the Skyfire Dynasty’s military merit reward system.

But they did not believe in those rewards at all, thinking they were merely Skyfire Dynasty’s tricks to deceive them.

Ten minutes later, seeing no movement within Tianhong City nor any intention to dismantle the protective array,

a trace of coldness flashed in Qin Hao’s eyes. He brandished the War God Spear, launching golden spear rays that struck the city’s defensive array.

This low-level defensive array couldn’t withstand Qin Hao’s assault.

A few spear rays shattered the defensive array, leaving Tianhong City entirely unprotected.

"Attack!"

Qin Hao’s voice was icy as he pointed the War God Spear at Tianhong City.

The war cries of the cannon fodder corps and the God Demon Army were deafening, with some attacking from above and others from the city gates below.

Qin Hao didn’t join the battle because there were no experts in Tianhong City requiring his intervention.

The morale of the Xuanqing Dynasty’s army was already low, and faced with the fierce assault from the God Demon Army and the cannon fodder corps, the million-strong army could not hold out for even an hour, surrendering or fleeing in chaos.

As the sounds within the city gradually subsided, Qin Hao entered Tianhong City.

Before entering the city, he saw a red stream flowing out from within!

"Report to the State Preceptor, most of the Xuanqing Dynasty’s army has fled, and around ten thousand have been captured," a general hurriedly reported.

Qin Hao nodded slightly: "Let those captives be the vanguard and proceed to the next town; any who dare to escape shall be shot."

After taking Tianhong City, the army of the Skyfire Dynasty advanced toward the next city of the Xuanqing Dynasty.

Xuanqing Dynasty, Jiangyun City.

At this moment, the City Protection Array of Jiangyun City was activated, with soldiers standing densely on the city walls.

All the influential figures of Jiangyun City gathered in the hall of the City Lord’s mansion.

"Mr. Ye, the million-strong garrison at Tianhong City has already fallen, not even holding out for an hour. The Skyfire Dynasty’s army is too strong, especially since their State Preceptor is personally leading," an old man said, his face full of worry.

All the people present were furrowed with brows, looking as if calamity was about to strike.

"We should escape while the Skyfire Dynasty’s army hasn’t arrived yet. We can’t possibly defend against them with only the tens of thousands of soldiers in Jiangyun City."

"Exactly, once the Skyfire Dynasty’s army comes, we will be like fish on a chopping block, at their mercy."

"Escape? To where? Our roots are here, besides the Transmission Array has been closed."

"Mr. Ye, what should we do now?" Everyone in the hall turned to the middle-aged man seated at the head, Ye Feng, the City Lord of Jiangyun City.

Ye Feng’s brows were tightly furrowed: "With the Transmission Array blocked, if we want to flee, we can only fly, but our families are vast in number. Can we outrun the Skyfire Dynasty’s army?"

"There’s no noise from the King’s city either; have we been abandoned?" someone sighed.

Ye Feng spoke: "The King’s city is likely already a man-made hell. Even if we surrender, we mustn’t go there."

Hearing his words, the others were slightly startled: "Mr. Ye, what do you mean by this?"

Ye Feng: "The Demon God Sect has long since controlled the royal Li Family. After Li Xuanqing’s death, his son was pushed out as a puppet, with the real controllers being people of the Demon God Sect. My informants in the King’s city told me days ago that the city had been sealed off, no entry or exit allowed. They’re setting up a magic array, and those in the King’s city have likely all perished."
