You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 434 Empty City

"Okay, just let us know if there's anything we need your cooperation with..."

Xuan Kongzi smiled and nodded.

Xuan Kongzi was in a good mood after receiving Yue Fei's reply.

He personally escorted Yue Fei back to his Qin garrison.

When Xuan Kongzi returned to the main hall, Li Sheng was already waiting there.

"Elder Xuan, our spies just reported that the ape clan has indeed sent troops towards our human race. The news from the Great Qin is correct..."

Li Sheng said with a solemn expression.

Upon hearing Li Sheng's words, Xuan Kongzi nodded and said, "It seems that the Great Qin has a deep penetration into the Central Region!"

"We've been based in the Central Region for countless years, and our intelligence agencies have developed for many years, yet Great Qin received the information before us. This is enough to demonstrate the strength of Great Qin's intelligence agencies..."

Xuan Kongzi smiled broadly. The stronger the Qin Dynasty became, the better it would be for the human race. He couldn't be happier for the Qin Dynasty to become stronger.

"Elder Xuan is right..."

Li Sheng nodded in agreement.

"Go and organize the army, ready to fight at any time. At the same time, send messages to the major powers, instructing them to strengthen their defenses during this period..."

Xuan Kongzi said to Li Sheng.

"Here!"

Li Sheng respectfully responded and walked outside.

.......................................

Several days later, the ape army had arrived at the outskirts of human territory.

At this moment, a group of people followed behind the ape army; they were spies from various races and factions.

At first, they would hide themselves, but later they found that the apes didn't care about them at all, so they simply stopped hiding.

He stepped forward confidently and openly.

In the crowd, a woman was being protected by a group of people.

The woman was completely shrouded in a white robe, with only one eye showing.

The guards around her were all wearing masks.

There was no one within a hundred feet of them.

Others had attempted to cross this distance, but they were all killed by the guards beside the woman.

This also made the others realize that this woman was no ordinary person, and that the guards around her were all at least at the Mahayana stage.

Everyone else kept their distance from the woman, fearing that she might mistake them for someone with ill intentions and kill them.

"Young Master, ahead lies the territory of the human race. The closest to the ape army is an imperial dynasty called Great Yu. The strongest figure in the Great Yu imperial dynasty is a powerhouse at the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending realm, sent by the ancestral court of the human race to guard this place..."

"I'm afraid the Great Yu Dynasty won't be able to withstand the ape tribe's attack..."

At this moment, a guard flew over from a distance and respectfully addressed the mysterious woman.

"Yes! I understand. Let's keep our distance if a fight breaks out, so we don't get caught in the crossfire..."

A cool, clear voice came from the woman.

"Here!"

The guards around her all spoke respectfully.

On the ape clan's flying ship, as the human city gradually came into view, a cold glint flashed in Yuan Hong's eyes.

"Slaughter the human city ahead, and use the blood of these humans to give us a good start to this expedition..."

Yuan Hong gave the order in a cold voice.

"Here!"

As soon as Yuan Hong finished speaking, an ape general led a portion of the ape army off the flying boat and headed towards the city ahead.

The rest of the people waited for their triumphant return.

After a while, no movement was heard from the distant city.

Yuan Hong frowned slightly. The city in front of him was quite large. Logically speaking, even if it was no match for the ape clan, it should have put up a fight. But why hadn't there been any movement from them yet?

Just then, Yuan Hong suddenly saw that the generals he had sent out earlier had returned.

Yuan Hong's brows furrowed even deeper.

"what happened?"

After the general came to stand in front of Yuan Hong, Yuan Hong asked in a cold voice.

"Chieftain, there are no humans left in that human city ahead. Judging from the traces inside, they must have all evacuated. They must have left in a hurry, leaving many things behind..."

The general spoke to Yuan Hong.

"Heh! It seems they received news of our attack and all withdrew in advance. They're not entirely foolish; they know they can't withstand our army's advance..."

"Alright, they can run away, but they can't hide. As long as we keep going, we'll eventually find a city inhabited by humans. Pass down the order, keep moving forward..."

Yuan Hong sneered and spoke.

"Here!"

Yuan Hong's order was quickly relayed, and the airship, which had been stationary, started up again and headed towards human territory.

The scouts from various tribes behind the ape army were somewhat surprised that no fighting had broken out. Some of them continued on with the ape army, while others went to the city to investigate the situation.

The mysterious woman also sent one of her subordinates to investigate.

After learning that all the humans in the city had evacuated, they all assumed that the humans were afraid of the apes.

Only then were all the people evacuated, and no one was left to guard the area.

After reaching this conclusion, most of these spies from various races sent messages to their respective factions, saying that the human race was not to be feared.

Since the last time the human race repelled the spirit race's attack, the attitudes of the various races in the Central Region towards the human race have changed drastically.

All ethnic groups vied to curry favor with the human race.

However, it now appears that the previous rumors were not credible.

If the human race truly possessed the strength to repel the spirit race, they wouldn't have been so easily intimidated by the ape race.

"Young Master, should we also send a message to the clan?"

A guard beside the woman asked respectfully.

"No, I feel this matter is not so simple. Let's wait and see!"

The woman shook her head and said.
