Chapter 698: Meng Tian's Shock

"What! You've actually defected to the Han Empire!"

Hearing Xun Zi's words, Li Si cried out in shock, his tone filled with utter disbelief.

One must understand that Great Qin had been trying to recruit Little Sage Village for a very long time, yet had never managed to bring them over.

And the Han Empire had only just appeared not long ago, yet it had already recruited both the Mo Family and Little Sage Village entirely under its banner.

"That's right. His Majesty's ideals align perfectly with our Ru Family's orthodoxy. Joining Han will make our Ru Family even stronger."

Hearing Xun Zi's words, Li Si and Fu Su opened their mouths in astonishment, but in the end said nothing.

"Han! What kind of magic do you people possess, to actually be able to persuade Xun Zi!"

Li Si could tell that Xun Zi and the others had sincerely and genuinely defected to the Han Empire — this could be seen from the expressions on their faces. This was also the first time Li Si found himself curious about the Han Empire.

Soon, after everyone had rested for a night, they set out early the next morning.

On the road, Li Si asked Fu Nian, "Sect Leader Fu Nian, may I ask how you plan to deal with me and Young Master?"

"Hehehe, Prime Minister Li need not worry. Naturally, you two will be handed over to our Han Majesty to handle personally. We wouldn't dare make decisions on our own!"

Hearing Li Si's words, Fu Nian said to him with a smile, his face full of reverence when mentioning Liu Bian.

……

Meanwhile, the Million-Strong Legion Xuanwu Legion had finally arrived at the border of Great Qin.

At the same time, Meng Tian, who was stationed at the Northern Border, had long since received news of the Han Army's arrival.

Soon, Zhang Liao led the Million-Strong Legion Xuanwu Army to the foot of the Great Wall.

"Who would have thought that the Great Wall the First Emperor spent so much manpower to build would end up being used to defend against us!"

Looking at the towering, magnificent Great Wall sprawled before him, Zhang Liao said, somewhat speechless.

"Hehehe, this Great Wall can only hold off ordinary soldiers. For our Han Empire's army, it's practically dispensable!"

Guo Jia, who was nearby, said with some amusement upon hearing Zhang Liao's words.

"The Military Advisor speaks wisely. Since that's the case, let's attack directly!"

"It just so happens that this general also wants to see what kind of combat power the Qin State's army of this world possesses!"

Hearing Zhang Liao's words, all the martial generals revealed expressions of excitement.

"Enough. Tell the soldiers to summon their mounts. It's time to let the Qin State's army witness our strength!"

"This general obeys the order!"

As Zhang Liao's military order was issued, the soldiers of the Million-Strong Legion Xuanwu Legion all neatly summoned their mounts.

In an instant, a Million-Strong Legion army mounted on Xuanwu Divine Beasts appeared outside the Great Wall.

And Meng Tian, atop the Great Wall, was greatly shocked upon seeing this scene.

"Those are Xuanwu Divine Beasts! How is this possible! How could Han possess so many Xuanwu Divine Beasts, and even form them into an army!"

"Moreover, their Million-Strong Legion army is all at the Innate Realm in strength — how can we even fight this!"

With Meng Tian's cultivation at the Martial King Nine Heavens, he could clearly sense that all of Han's Million-Strong Legion soldiers and their Xuanwu Divine Beast mounts were at the Innate Realm in strength.

"Deputy General Pang, immediately inform His Majesty of the Han army's situation. This general will hold them off here!"

"The enemy has a Million-Strong Innate Warrior Grand Army — our army is simply no match for such strength!"

"Furthermore, the enemy also has the Divine Beast Xuanwu as mounts, so the Great Wall has lost its usefulness against them!"

The Deputy General nearby, upon hearing this, nodded gravely and said solemnly to Meng Tian:

"This general obeys the order! Please rest assured, General. This general will deliver this news to His Majesty even at the cost of his life!"

Seeing this, Meng Tian nodded heavily and instructed the Deputy General:

"Set out immediately. You must get the message back!"

Deputy General Pang nodded heavily and bade farewell to Meng Tian:

"General, take care!"

After Deputy General Pang departed, Meng Tian shouted loudly to the Guard army atop the Great Wall:

"Guards, listen! The enemy is just beyond the Great Wall, and behind us lies our homeland. Therefore, for the sake of our families, we have no choice but to fight to the death!"

"Now, if anyone is afraid and wishes to withdraw, step forward. This general will let you leave!"

When Meng Tian's words fell, not a single one of the Hundred Thousand Guard army stepped out. They all looked at Meng Tian with resolute expressions.

"Good! You are all fine sons of Great Qin. Today, follow this general and slay the enemy army!"

"Kill—"

"Kill—"

"Kill—"

Hearing the successive roars of the Qin Army from atop the Great Wall, Zhang Liao and the others also slightly changed expression.

"Meng Tian truly lives up to his reputation as a famous general of Great Qin. His way of boosting morale is quite impressive!"

The others, hearing Zhang Liao's words, could not help but nod in agreement.

"Li Dian, Zhang He, Le Jin — prepare to attack!"

"This general obeys the order!"

Soon, the soldiers of the Million-Strong Legion Xuanwu Legion had completed their preparations to attack.

"Soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion, hear my order — the entire army, attack!"

With Zhang Liao's military command, the soldiers of the Million-Strong Legion Xuanwu Legion mounted on Xuanwu Divine Beasts flew toward the Great Wall.

"Kill—"

Seeing that the Han Army had launched their attack, Meng Tian stood atop the Great Wall and shouted loudly with a solemn expression:

"Archers, ready! Loose!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh…"

In an instant, a skyful of arrows flew toward the charging Xuanwu Legion.

Seeing this, without even needing Zhang Liao and the others to speak, the Xuanwu Divine Beast sub-bodies beneath the Million-Strong Legion Xuanwu Legion soldiers released a stream of Spiritual Power, wrapping themselves and the Xuanwu Legion soldiers up.

"Ding! Ding! Ding…"

The Qin Army's skyful of arrow rain, upon encountering the protective True Qi condensed by the Xuanwu Divine Beast, was all deflected; this wave of arrow rain caused no harm whatsoever to the Xuanwu Legion.

"Keep firing!"

Seeing this, Meng Tian's expression shifted slightly, but he did not lose heart. Instead, he continued to bellow at the Army.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh…"

Immediately, another wave of arrow rain shot toward the Xuanwu Legion, but the result was no different from before.

And after these two waves of arrow rain, the Xuanwu Legion soldiers had already reached the top of the Great Wall.

"Kill!"

"Great Han's Heavenly Might, sweep away and Extinguish all foes!"

And at the same time, the Great Qin soldiers on the opposite side also let out roars one after another.

"Wind! Wind! Wind!"

"Proud and valiant old Qin, share the nation's peril together!"

In an instant, the two great armies collided.

"Brothers, follow me and kill!"

"Kill them!"

Watching the Qin Army soldiers continuously falling into pools of blood, the remaining Qin Army soldiers roared with blood-red eyes.

Although the Xuanwu Legion's strength was formidable, not a single one of these Qin Army soldiers ever retreated.

Very quickly, the Million-Strong Legion Xuanwu Legion charged past the Great Wall. Seeing this, Meng Tian hurriedly led the Golden Fire Cavalry to meet the enemy.

"Golden Fire Cavalry, follow this general to meet the enemy!"

Having said that, Meng Tian took the lead and charged toward the Xuanwu Legion.
