Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Reporting to Your Majesty, the Nanxuan Kingdom has started to have some friction with our borders. It seems that they know about the great change in our court and want to attack our Eastern Imperial Kingdom!” The general immediately said.
The Nanxuan Kingdom was to the south of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom, and all along, there had been constant battles between the Nanxuan Kingdom and the Eastern Imperial Kingdom.
Back then, when Wu Yue City had guarded the borders, the Nanxuan Kingdom had clashed with Wu Yue City several times, and Wu Yue City had directly taken down two of the borders of the Nanxuan Kingdom.
Now, the Nanxuan Kingdom must have known that Wu Yue City had left and that Great Qin was fighting internally, so choosing to attack at this time was undoubtedly the best opportunity.
Ye Chen frowned and said, “I didn’t expect the news to spread so quickly. The Nanxuan Kingdom must have known that we were fighting internally, so they chose this time to attack us!”
The national strength of the Nanxuan Kingdom and the Eastern Imperial ingdom was about the same.
In the past, the national strength of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom could suppress the Nanxuan Kingdom by a head. However, in recent years, the Emperor of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom had fallen seriously ill, so the national strength of the Nanxuan Kingdom had slowly caught up to the Eastern Imperial Kingdom.
Now that the Eastern Imperial Kingdom was in civil strife, how could the Nanxuan Kingdom let go of this opportunity to destroy the Eastern Imperial Kingdom?
Therefore, they seized this opportunity to attack the Eastern Imperial Kingdom!
“Your Majesty, what should we do?” Luo Shuihan asked.
Ye Chen thought for a few seconds. “The Nanxuan Kingdom must have known that Wu Yue City had withdrawn their troops to the Imperial Capital of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom, so they took the opportunity to attack.”
“Wu Yue City!” Ye Chen immediately said.
“I’m here!”
At this moment, Wu Yue City immediately knelt before Ye Chen.
“Your Majesty!”
“How many troops did you bring? How many troops are guarding the border?”
At that moment, Wu Yuecheng immediately said, “Your Majesty, I’ve brought 200,000 soldiers and horses to guard the border. There are still 300,000 soldiers and horses left!”
“300,000?”
Ye Chen knew that it would be too late for them to go over now.
“Nanxuan Kingdom thinks that we’re busy with internal strife, so there’s no way to deal with them. Moreover, they know that Wu Yuecheng, who is guarding the border, has returned. If I were the Emperor of Nanxuan Kingdom, I would also choose this time to attack!” Ye Chen a.n.a.lyzed.
“If I were the Emperor of Nanxuan Kingdom, I would definitely take advantage of the situation to kill them. As such, this attack will not be so simple. It’s very likely that they will use all of their power to attack Great Qin.” Just as Ye Chen finished speaking, another spy rushed in, at that moment, another spy rushed in.
Ye Chen was inwardly shocked; he had never thought that Nanxuan Kingdom’s army would be so fast. Previously, Wu Yue City had taken down Jade Forest Pa.s.s, and he had never thought that Nanxuan Kingdom would be able to take it back so quickly.
Now that they were without a leader at the frontier fortress, they would definitely be utterly defeated.
At this rate, in less than ten days, Nanxuan Kingdom’s army would definitely reach Great Qin’s Imperial Capital.
Originally, the Eastern Imperial Kingdom was quite powerful, and most countries would not dare to attack the Eastern Imperial Kingdom. However, the empress dowager had been in power for the past few years, and the Prime Minister had caused Great Qin to be in ruins. As a result, Nanxuan Kingdom’s national strength had gradually surpa.s.sed Great Qin’s, this was why they had the courage to attack Great Qin.
Moreover, something like this had happened in the Eastern Imperial Kingdom. As long as they took over Great Qin, they would become the most powerful country on this continent. At that time, it would be possible for them to wipe out all of the other countries.
Of course, Ye Chen could not allow such a thing to happen. He had just taken over great power, so how could he simply hand it over to another country?
“Your Majesty, the Nanxuan Kingdom has raised their troops to head there. I’m afraid the situation isn’t looking good!” The Prime Minister a.n.a.lyzed.
Ye Chen nodded and said, “The Nanxuan Kingdom really knows how to pick the right time. Now is the best time for them to attack. The borders are like a group of dragons without a leader. I’m afraid they will soon be able to conquer them.”
At this moment, all the soldiers present were shocked.
It seemed that the war between the Nanxuan Kingdom and the Eastern Imperial Kingdom was finally about to begin.
Ye Chen understood in his heart that he was the Human Emperor, and the Human Emperor was the emperor of the entire human race. In other words, he would eventually rule the entire world.
Ye Chen was not someone who was indifferent to fame and fortune. It was better for him to have fame and fortune. If he did not have it, it did not matter.
“The Human Emperor?”
Ye Chen smiled and asked.
“Since I have already been recognized as the Human Emperor, then what else is there to say? Let me rule the entire human race!” Ye Chen said in his heart.
Ye Chen was well-versed in history.
He also knew the cruelty of war. However, if he were to look at history, he agreed that even though they had to go through cruel wars before, after unification, the human race would definitely prosper even more.
Just like how Ye Chen existed in the east.
Back then, if Qin s.h.i.+huang had not unified the six nations, how would China prosper after that?
Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, “Since the Nanxuan Kingdom wants to attack the Eastern Imperial Kingdom, I don’t mind if there is only one kingdom in this world!”
“Wu Yue!” Ye Chen ordered.
“Yes, your humble servant!” Wu Yue immediately kneeled in front of Ye Chen.
“Lead the 200,000 soldiers you brought to the border immediately!” Ye Chen ordered.
“Yes, sir!” Wu Yue replied.
At this moment, Ye Chen looked at another general, Chen Fan Xiang.
“Chen Fan Xiang!”
“Yes, sir!” Chen Fan Xiang said.
Ye Chen said calmly, “Since the Nanxuan Kingdom wants all of this, then the demon race of the Western Region will attack at this time. Therefore, you will lead your army to the Western Region and defend the border!”
“Yes!” Chen Fanxiang and Wu Yue both left.
Ye Chen continued, “With the help of Wu Yue, we shouldn’t be able to take down the Nanxuan Kingdom.”
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, everyone was shocked.
“Your Majesty, are you trying to…?” Luo Shuihan asked immediately.
Ye Chen nodded and said, “That’s right. Since the heavens have guided me to become the Human Emperor, then I will take this opportunity to unify the entire continent and become the True Emperor of the human race!”
“Your Majesty, isn’t it a little too early? Right now, our Eastern Imperial Kingdom has just experienced a civil war. If we were to attack now, I’m afraid…” General Yang Xuan immediately said.
Ye Chen raised his head indifferently and said, “I am the Human Emperor. This time, I will personally lead the expedition and take down the Nanxuan Kingdom in one fell swoop!”
When he said this, everyone was shocked.
“No, Your Majesty. It is too dangerous for you to personally lead the expedition. Please think twice, Your Majesty!” Zhang Mo hurriedly said.
Ye Chen said indifferently, “I am already in the Transcending Tribulation Realm. Ordinary people can’t do anything to me. In the army, not to mention anything else, we can still protect ourselves. Right now, we only have this method!”
“Your Majesty!”
Ye Chen said sternly, “I’ve already decided on this matter. You don’t have to persuade me anymore!”
Everyone knew that the things that His Majesty had decided on would not change, so they could only listen to His Majesty for now.
“Pa.s.s down my orders. I want all of you to speed up your horses and rush to the frontier fortress overnight. Tell the soldiers to retreat first and not resist. We’ll give the Nanxuan Kingdom three pa.s.ses first!” Ye Chen said indifferently.
The moment these words were said, the spy was incomparably shocked.
“Quickly go. Do as I say!” Ye Chen said sternly.
“Yes!” The spy hurriedly left to pa.s.s the message
