Chapter 1388

"Your Majesty!"

After seeing Ximen Wudi, he spoke respectfully.

His eyes revealed a hint of flattery.

"Stand down!"

Then, he gave orders.

"Notify all commanding generals to assemble in the northwest!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Golden Lion King spoke.

But Ximen Wudi paid him no further attention.

He walked into the grand hall.

Moments later, figures appeared outside the palace gates.

These individuals were all formidable.

Leading them was Li Jing.

He wore a battle robe, his figure radiating immense strength.

Among Han's many senior generals, his power was unquestionably top-tier.

Behind him were Lu Bu, Nezha, Yang Jian, and others.

Besides them,

there were also Ximen Wudi's cadre of fierce generals.

"Emperor Han, how should we handle this battle?

The Heiyan Dynasty is a royal city with hundreds of millions of troops; to rashly enter their territory would surely bring disaster!"

Guan Yu frowned.

At this moment, his heart was filled with dread.

If the Heiyan Dynasty truly sent reinforcements,

even he might only have time to flee.

"No concern—I have my own plans!"

Ximen Wudi spoke slowly.

Then, he boarded the dragon palanquin.

He left the imperial palace.

This time, he planned to take three thousand Divine Beast Guards.

After all, the enemy was merely a small dynasty—not worth deploying his full force.

Three thousand Divine Beasts were more than enough to sweep them away.

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar echoed.

In an instant, the clouds in the sky dispersed.

A dragon palanquin shot off into the distance.

This was the Han Dynasty's dragon palanquin, required to ascend ninety-nine times daily in ritual.

Its majesty made the surrounding populace tremble in fear.

Inside the dragon palanquin at this moment,

Ximen Wudi sat in the seat of honor, while fierce generals stood on either side.

"How many troops can be mobilized from Han's current encampment?"

Ximen Wudi said coolly.

"Your Majesty, fifty thousand troops can be deployed!"

Ximen Wudi's senior disciple, Tong Xiangyu, replied respectfully.

His cultivation had now reached Yin-Yang Realm Sixth Layer.

He could command even more troops.

"Good. Order Li Yuanba and Nezha to lead the vanguard!

Also, tell Yue Fei to establish defenses along the southeastern border!"

Ximen Wudi said coldly.

If he was going to play, he'd play for keeps—annihilate the Heiyan Dynasty entirely.

"As you command!"

Upon hearing this, Tong Xiangyu withdrew.

At this moment, Ximen Wudi also stepped down from his couch.

A sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.

He spoke to Gong Sun Gong, who stood below:

"Minister Gong Sun, I am preparing to march. During this time, Han must rely on you to hold it together.

Remember: secure the rear at all costs.

When I return, I expect good news!"

Ximen Wudi mused.

This battle determines Han's future.

Therefore, he had to be cautious and careful.

"This general obeys the order. Your Majesty may rest assured, this general will certainly carry a burden entrusted to him!"

Gongsun Gong spoke.

And just as his voice had barely fallen—

"Bang!"

Ximen Wudi directly pushed open the hall's door and vanished on the spot.

At this moment, he was about to follow Ximen Wudi to that Prince Heiyan City.

And just after he left the great hall—

The entire Han Imperial Palace instantly became lively.

Dozens of streets were all cleared out.

A large number of common folk poured in.

They all wanted to see what exactly Great Han was going to do.

And at this moment, Ximen Wudi was already standing atop the imperial dragon carriage.

This place was not far from Prince Heiyan City.

Therefore, the speed was also very fast.

As the great army advanced, it was like rolling thunder.

One day later, they finally arrived above Prince Heiyan City.

At this moment, he looked down at that magnificent city below.

A glint of sharp light flashed through his eyes.

He had not expected that in such a short time, so many things had actually happened.

He could not help sighing that the affairs of the world were like Emperor Wuchang.

Then, his gaze turned toward the top of the city wall.

He saw the city wall densely packed with soldiers standing shoulder to shoulder.

They were all generals of the Prince Heiyan Dynasty.

And atop the highest watchtower, a general was standing.

It was unmistakably the son of the Prince Heiyan King, the City Lord of Prince Heiyan.

The other's cultivation had reached the Half-Step Chaos realm, and within the Prince Heiyan Dynasty, he could be considered a top-tier existence.
