Chapter 1243

"Withdraw? Why withdraw?"

Huh???

As soon as these words were spoken, the Great Wu generals were completely numb—*you guys aren't considering withdrawing? *

But Qi Xiong had no intention of explaining further; taking advantage of the fact that Great Yuan's hundreds of thousands of troops hadn't arrived, they had to act quickly.

"Alright, your task is only one: hold the border city to the death; don't worry about anything else."

"I..."

He opened his mouth, and in the end, the Great Wu generals chose to give up—absurd, it was truly absurd.

They didn't stay long in the border city; half an hour later, the Dao One Sect group left directly.

Because there weren't many people, it was easy to hide, and this time, the ones who came were all Dao One Sect elites.

The lowest cultivation was currently Lin Luochen, but she also had Great Completion Dharma Aspect Realm cultivation.

Traveling by spatial spirit boat, watching the Dao One Sect group go far away, the Great Wu generals had complex expressions, and some couldn't help but ask.

"Are they serious?"

"The people are gone; do you think they are serious?"

"But this is too much like child's play, right?"

Not knowing what these Great Wu generals were thinking, on the spatial spirit boat, everyone didn't have the slightest sign of tension.

This kid Shan Hu was even extremely excited—there were fights to be had again.

Only Lin Luochen asked Xu Jie somewhat hesitantly.

"Third Senior Brother, are we really heading straight for their nest like this?"

"Is there a problem?"

"Then we really aren't running?"

"Why run? When the time comes, with the old emperor in our hands, won't Great Yuan be whatever we say?"

Huh???

Hearing Xu Jie's answer, Lin Luochen was dumbfounded.

Thinking about it, it seemed like that was the logic—taking the Great Yuan emperor, wouldn't Great Yuan be whatever they said?

She looked at Xu Jie with complex eyes.

"So, the Sect Master and the others never thought about running from the beginning?"

"Yeah."

Lin Luochen admitted that she hadn't returned to the sect for years, and at this time, she couldn't keep up with the sect's thinking.

She just didn't know if this was her own problem or the entire sect's problem.

Not knowing that the Dao One Sect was already killing its way toward the Imperial Capital, the Great Yuan Emperor was still fantasizing about what would happen after taking Great Wu.

In his view, this time attacking Great Wu, he had sent a full seven Great Saints, nearly twenty Saints, plus hundreds of thousands of troops.

Facing this power, he really couldn't imagine how Great Wu could still resist.

Of course, some ministers had reminded him to be careful of those who suddenly intervened.

Regarding the Great Wu Four Great Families' affair, Great Yuan naturally understood a little, knowing that there was help from other forces, which allowed Lin Jun to destroy the Four Great Families.

But regarding this, the Great Yuan Emperor didn't care at all.

In his view, no matter what force it was, there was no reason to intervene in the struggle between Great Yuan and Great Wu.

And even if this mysterious force really took action, didn't his Great Yuan Empire have the Tianyu Dynasty behind it?

Except for the three great holy lands, there weren't many forces among the Central Continent humans that could compare with the Tianyu Dynasty.

"If that mysterious force dares to intervene this time, then we'll destroy them together."

Inside the palace, the Great Yuan Emperor said with high spirits.

Having ascended the throne for so many years, the Great Yuan Emperor's dream had always been to expand territory, and Great Wu was his primary target.

And now, the Great Wu Emperor destroying the Four Great Families had given him a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity.

Otherwise, if the Four Great Families were still there, although it wouldn't be a good thing for Great Wu, it wouldn't be good news for Great Yuan either.

Being able to control Great Wu for so many years, the Four Great Families naturally had some methods.

But now, without the Four Great Families, it was the weakest time for Great Wu; wanting to take it, wasn't that something that could be done easily?

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor so confident, the ministers below didn't say anything more.

They also felt that this battle should be a sure thing.

A few days later, the Great Yuan Empire's army arrived at the border between the two countries, and both sides soon broke out into a fierce battle.

It was said that the battle situation was very tragic, and the Great Yuan Empire had lost quite a few soldiers.

And Great Wu, relying on the solid border city, could be considered to have successfully blocked the Great Yuan Empire's first wave of attacks, but the price paid was also not small.

Looking at the battle report sent back from the front line, the Great Yuan Emperor didn't change his expression at all; this was a situation he had long expected.

"As long as we conquer this border fortress, Great Wu will have no more dangers to guard; although the border city is solid, I want to see how long you can resist."

The gap in strength was there; Great Wu could resist Great Yuan's attack once, but could they resist twice, three times, ten times?

Whether it was the Great Yuan Emperor or the generals on the front line, they all knew one point clearly.

No matter how high the price paid, as long as they could gnaw down Great Wu's border city, they would have already won more than half of this battle.

Therefore, the first setback wasn't taken seriously by Great Yuan, and next, Great Yuan's offensive would only become more fierce, one wave higher than the next.

Just when the entire Great Yuan was paying attention to the battlefield situation, little did they know, a spatial spirit boat that looked ordinary had already quietly penetrated deep into the Great Yuan Empire's hinterland.

And the people on the spatial spirit boat, without exception, were all wearing Great Yuan soldiers' clothes.

With this skin, acting was indeed convenient; as for where the Dao One Sect group got them, wasn't that a very simple question?

Just find a team of Great Yuan soldiers and you could get them.

Wearing clothes that clearly didn't fit, Lin Luochen had been stunned by the operations of her fellow disciples all the way.

She thought this journey would be full of dangers, but who would have thought it could go so smoothly?

Third Senior Brother and the others, through a mix of bluffing and lying, had actually left the Great Yuan officials along the way dizzy and confused.

She still remembered that last night, they seemed to have stayed in the mansion of a Great Yuan prefect—this was absurd.

*We are sneaking in to take their emperor, and you guys, along the way, stayed in places that were either government offices or wealthy mansions—are you really not afraid of your identities being exposed? *

But what Lin Luochen couldn't figure out was that the more Third Senior Brother and the others acted like this, the less the officials seemed to suspect them—they didn't even verify their identities.
