Chapter 2173: 230: Light at the End of the Tunnel
Capítulo 2173: Chapter 230: Light at the End of the TunnelThis can’t be fake news.
No one would be foolish enough to spread a rumor that can be easily disproven at this time.
Moreover, this Shenwu Army General has been following King Wu for years, and in a sense, represents the will of Si Jiao.
The scale of this Qi Xia war is indeed astonishing, and although long-distance communication is restricted on the surface, a formidable figure like King Wu, who stands beyond the peak, naturally has ways to stay in touch with forces outside the battlefield.
Especially the Jing Shepherd War, which is news that the entire Summer Country is closely watching. The people of Summer Country, to a large extent, are betting their hopes for victory in the Qi Xia war on Jingguo’s success.
They fiercely resist, waiting precisely for the outcome of the Jing Shepherd War.
It’s said that Si Jiao is constantly concerned about the progress of the Jing Shepherd War, so much so that he wishes he could run to Sheng Country to assist in the battle.
Thus, upon learning of a turning point in the Jing Shepherd War, he immediately ordered the news to be spread throughout the city.
Confronting the People of Qi is more difficult than imagined. The entire Summer Country has been striving to the utmost, yet they still can only taste the bitter fruit of continuous defeats. The situation is so dire that even Chi Mengfu had to step forward and personally lead the abandonment of the eastern line, a strategy doomed to shameful infamy.
However, the news of the Jingguo’s great victory over Mugu arrived faster than imagined!
Perhaps influenced by the Jing Country’s western expansion war, both Jingguo and Mugu have opened up more than before, fighting more aggressively.
Just regrettably, the message delivered by the Shenwu Army General is too brief, leaving the specific situation unknown. Is Beigong Nantu dead, does Ying Jianghong still have fighting power? What about Western Daoist Master Yu Xi? How much longer will Jingguo need to wrap things up before heading south…
Liu Xiyi felt an overwhelming itch in his heart and immediately said to Chi Mengfu, “Stay here a bit longer! I will come back to relieve you later—”
Before he finished his sentence, the Da Xia State Preceptor, who was not fond of dealing with him, had already jumped off the tower and disappeared swiftly.
“Damn it!” uttered the Da Xia State Minister, kicking the corner of the building.
…
Beigong Nantu is the Crown Preaching High Priest, the master of the Cangtu Temple.
It can be said that his status in the entire Da Mu Empire is second only to the Empress of Mugu.
Even this “second to one person” may not be entirely accurate. For Mugu is a theocratic state, the only Overlord Country in existence that believes in the Divine Way. The divine light of Tu God covers the grassland, while Beigong Nantu acts on behalf of the deity’s will.
His status is unimaginable!
In many settings, he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Empress Helian Shanhai.
This time, his departure from Qionglu Mountain to personally lead the army southwards bears extraordinary significance, further demonstrating Cangtu God’s determination to spread faith beyond the grassland.
But such a crucial figure.
Has fallen in this war, slain by Southern Daoist Master Ying Jianghong!
And the renowned Iron Cavalry, ranked sixth among the top ten mounted armies worldwide, even above Qi Country’s Wind Pursuit Army by two ranks, suffered a crushing defeat on the Sheng Country battlefield…
There’s no news about Jin Yandu’s death, but Iron Cavalry has been devastated, so as its leader, Jin Yandu, even if not dead, must be severely injured!
Overnight, the winds and clouds have changed dramatically.
On the Mugu side, two True Monarch-level powerhouses, one has fallen in battle, the other led his strong army to be defeated.
This war, which redefined the borders between the Central Region and the Northern Territory, can now be declared over.
Next, it depends on how far Jingguo wants to continue fighting!
And the war between Jing Shepherd’s two nations impacts not just Sheng Country’s territory, nor merely the Central and Northern Territories.
Concerning the entire Qi Xia battlefield, the ramifications of this news might indeed be decisive!
…
The news available to King Wu, couldn’t escape the earshot of Yan Ping accompanying the army.
Thirty-three years ago, Qi Army besieged the city named “Noble City”, Yi Tian Observatory rose from the ground, the Dao Veins of Jing concluded present with countless powerful presences… Qi Army had to retreat, and even withdrew from the Southern Territory entirely.
The whole Qi Country, from Emperor Qi downwards, each fought furiously, the whole nation bathed in blood, striving for glory, but when victory was finally within reach, Jingguo easily took a giant share of the harvest. They drew the line forbidding Qi to advance southward ever again.
This tale is familiar to the People of Qi Kingdom.
This humiliation, the People of Qi Kingdom have remembered for many years!
The Star Moon Plain battle saw Qi Tianjiao triumph over Jing Tianjiao, forcing Jingguo to dismantle Yi Tian Observatory located in Summer Country, causing many People of Qi to cry tears of joy.
Afterwards, Cao Jie secretly taking the role of Mugu’s general, slew Qi Hong, seized Liaosource, aiding Mugu’s forces moving out from the grassland, leading to this War of Xia.
This time, Qi Country was united wholeheartedly, rulers and subjects striving fervently, progressing with relentless victories.
But now, word comes that the war between Jing and Shepherd has already reached a conclusion!
Although there hasn’t been any official battle report, the current fight continues in Sheng Country’s territory.
Yet, since Crown Preaching High Priest Beigong Nantu has fallen, and Iron Cavalry severely crippled, everyone can see that this war has entered its conclusion phase.
Jingguo has already finished dealing with its affairs.
Qi Country must make a decision!
If the decision is to retreat, preparations must begin now. Finding a way to retain existing gains while safely and orderly completing a withdrawal is also a task that greatly tests the commander’s abilities.
“The current news stands as such.”
Within the towering carriage, Cao Jie sat firmly at the commanding position, expression still calm.
The earth-shattering news of Beigong Nantu’s death couldn’t stir even a ripple in his eyes.
He simply sat there upright, slowly asking, “What thoughts do you all have, feel free to speak them.”
