CHAPTER 967: 418. THE ALLIANCE HIERARCH TAKES INITIATIVE, OFFENSE AND DEFENSE SWITCH FORMS_3

King of Xikang, Helian Chang, suddenly interjected, and the entire tent fell silent, with a trace of astonishment on everyone’s faces.

If they could ignore Li Su’s words, they couldn’t disregard the words of Emperor Yuliang. Wanyan Cheng had just expressed his regard for Hou Yuxiao, and now, even the Youye Emperor had spoken similarly...

This involved three emperors of Great Jin and six saints of the North!

For a moment, gaining the attention of two retired emperors was no small matter.

Li Su’s expression turned grave as he said in a low voice: "Hou Yuxiao leads the allied forces of three families here, merely wanting to ally with the coalition to attack us from both sides. Though his troops are not sufficient, they still pose a threat. If indeed the two families attack us from both sides, our situation will be quite passive. Therefore, we must not let him bring a large army into the Dongyuan Path. At the very least, not before there’s an outcome from Dongyuan Path!"

However, with millions of coalition forces still here, we, although having fifteen million troops, have three million Martial Artists in three paths. Therefore, at most, we can only deploy two million to deal with Hou Yuxiao."

Having said this, he quickly looked up and, seeing Wanyan Cheng nodding at him, turned to the generals in the tent and asked: "Which general is confident in this task?"

"Helian Ting requests the task!"

"Tuoba Xiong requests the task!"

"For mere Hou Yuxiao, easily captured; Wanyan Jun requests the task!"

"Helian Chang requests the task!"

Daring to use two million Sacred Army troops to tackle Hou Yuxiao’s thirteen million allied forces, as expected, only the Four Great Kings had such confidence.

Among the Seven Kings of Great Jin, the Wuwei King Hou Jing has already defected. Of the remaining six kings, except for the King of Xikang, Helian Chang, who is in the Shattered Realm, the other five kings are all in the Sub-saint Realm of Martial Arts. The four kings currently requesting the task are all Sub-Saints of Martial Dao.

Wanyan Cheng scanned the four, his expression subtly shifting, and said: "Pingcheng King shall go, the remaining three kings continue to defend with me here."

The face of Pingcheng King Wanyan Jun immediately lit up with a trace of joy, and he bowed, saying: "This humble will destroy the three-family coalition, assuredly not disappointing the Retired Emperor!"

The expressions of the other three who also requested the task immediately darkened, a hint of displeasure flashing across their faces.

Emperor Yuliang, such favoritism is a bit too obvious.

Li Su, however, did not concern himself with others’ inner thoughts. He looked at Pingcheng King with a serious expression and said: "Pingcheng King, it’s essentially impossible for two million troops to annihilate the three-family coalition in one go. Only by dividing and conquering can it be achieved. If unsuccessful, the ten million Sacred Army led by ten Marquises in Gyeonggi, Lin Cang, and Shuofeng can be mobilized at any time, thus ensuring a major victory in the rear. I kindly ask Your Highness to use troops carefully."

Wanyan Jun’s face immediately flashed with a trace of displeasure; against mere Hou Yuxiao, is it necessary to mobilize the ten Marquises of Zhongzhou? Li Su’s words clearly underestimated him.

However, with Wanyan Cheng standing above, he still nodded, feigning a learned demeanor, and bowed, saying: "Thank you, military advisor, for the guidance, this humble will surely remember it!"

Li Su’s brow furrowed, a trace of unease passing through his mind.

Just as he was about to continue his warning, suddenly, Wanyan Cheng, above, sharply raised his head to look east. The generals in the tent immediately followed suit, all looking towards the east, their expressions slightly changing.

"Zhao Yulong has moved!"

"Those brats are sick of living, have they actually dared to leave the city?"

"They must have received news of the three-family allied forces, intending to attack proactively to buy time for Hou Yuxiao’s allied forces over there!"

"Hmph, ignorance!"

...

"Pingcheng King, set off first; the rest of you, follow me out of the camp. I want to see whether Zhao Yulong genuinely plans to engage or is simply putting on a show!"

"This humble will obey!"

"This humble will obey!"

Wanyan Cheng gave a cold shout, and after Pingcheng King Wanyan Jun answered, he immediately turned and left. The remaining people, with spirits lifted, all followed behind him, flying towards the camp’s exterior.

"Army, prepare for battle, those brats are charging in!"

"Prepare to face the enemy, the coalition brats are starting the war..."

"The war has started, the war has started..."

"The war has started, quickly get in high spirits."

The military tents of Great Jin stretched over a hundred miles, resounding with furious shouts. The soldiers immediately responded to orders, and the entire camp seemed to awaken, with dense blood energy rapidly rising up even though no soldiers used cultivation.
