Chapter 979: Ten Great Empires Besiege the City! Aerial Chase!

"It's the Flame Empire!"

At this moment, in Lord Laurence's territory, several Dukes of the Eternal Night Empire and their warriors, seeing the fleet of flying ships in the sky, cheered loudly.

"Father!"

Anni flew down and, seeing her father unharmed, was overjoyed.

"Respected Queen of Flame, thank you for your rescue. The Iron Horn Empire's army has been continuously attacking the fortresses in our interior regions; this time, they split half their forces to plunder the eastern six provinces, while the other half should now be at the Mabuqi Fortress in the west."

After respectfully thanking Xiang Mengying, Lord Laurence reported all the intelligence he had gathered to her.

He also produced a detailed map.

Clearly, Lord Laurence had dispatched many spies to track the Iron Horn Empire's troop movements.

Mengying took the map, glanced at it, and memorized its entire contents.

Immediately afterward, the Flame Empire's army set out again.

Anni followed suit.

As long as her father was safe, she had no reason to worry.

Lord Laurence was not idle; after the crisis passed, several Dukes joined forces and poured vast amounts of Qian Cai into recruiting troops, preparing to arm warriors to ambush small Iron Horn Empire detachments.

"Your Majesty, our spies have detected the Iron Horn Empire's main force two thousand li away—its numbers are roughly two million!"

Not long after the flying fleet departed, Mengying received a report from a female official.

After the great war in the Eternal Night Empire began, the Flame Empire had placed numerous spies within it, to preemptively guard against any empire advancing from the east.

"Order: Full speed ahead!"

Mengying issued the command.

The entire flying fleet raised all its magic sails, and the magical runes on each sail glowed brightly.

Every flying ship pushed its speed to maximum.

The massive fleet surged forward in a mighty wave toward the west.

At this moment, on a vast plain west of the eastern six provinces, tents stretched as far as the eye could see.

This was the Iron Horn Empire's encampment.

The camps were divided into many sections, each connected to the next, stretching endlessly and covering an area exceeding hundreds of square kilometers.

"I envy those raiding units—they'll soon be looting Qian Cai and having their way with women."

By one tent, a group of warriors chatted casually.

"Don't worry, they'll be back soon, then it'll be our turn!"

One warrior said.

"Fuck, we've been fighting here for nearly a month—I'm going crazy. I'm going to capture a noble Young Lady and have my fun."

A fully armored warrior slammed his sword hard into the ground.

"Forget noble Young Ladies—they'll all be officers'. But we could gather more men and attack some minor nobles; then we can share whatever noble girls we capture."

"That's a good idea..."

The group of warriors burst into lewd laughter.

"Wooohhh~~"

At that moment, from within the camp, a loud horn blast rang out.

The horn's sound, amplified by magic, spread rapidly across the entire region.

"Damn it, why are emergency assembly horns blowing now?!"

One warrior cursed.

"All warriors, assemble within one hour!"

As the horn sounded, the commander's voice followed immediately.

All resting warriors scrambled to their feet and donned their armor at top speed.

Though their armor was Cumbersome, with help they quickly put it on.

Then, the warriors rushed out of their tents and headed for the assembly point—a vast plain.

These warriors were remarkably swift; nearly two million of them assembled completely in just one hour.

Immediately afterward, the warriors saw countless flying ships descending from the sky.

"The divine power granted by our god has fully suppressed the Eternal Night Empire's Saint Domains. All warriors, board the ships—we strike directly for the Eternal Night capital!"
