Chapter 68: Destroying the City (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

A few days later, Lord Mo rushed to the front battlefield under the escort of everyone.

Since Lord Mo was recuperating in the rear, the generals of Beijiang City did not act radically, but instead adopted the strategy of defending the city to delay time.

Previously, Lord Mo was attacked and many masters died. In addition, the destruction of an army of 100,000 dealt a heavy blow to their morale.

Now that Lord Mo has appeared again, the generals have found their backbone again, and they are all as energized as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

They didn't know that although Lord Mo had recovered from his injuries, he couldn't use his cultivation easily.

But none of this matters, because this time Lord Mo has brought powerful helpers.

"Do you know who this man beside me is?" Lord Mo introduced Lai Yang to the crowd, a confident and proud expression on his face. "He is the Divine Sword General of our Northern Frontier City. A month ago, he single-handedly broke into Fallen Dragon Mountain and rescued me. Then, he single-handedly killed two fifth-rank martial arts masters of the Great Yan Dynasty and annihilated over ten thousand enemy troops."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked and focused their eyes on the face of the young man next to Lord Mo.

"It's him! He looks younger than 30, how could he possibly possess such terrifying strength? How did he cultivate?"

"When the prince was ambushed by that scoundrel Wan Yunxiang, we tried to rescue him but were held back by the Great Yan court's army, unable to escape. Not long after, word spread throughout the martial arts world of the deaths of Wan Yunxiang and Wei Zhongzheng. It was said that this man had rescued the prince, killed two of Great Yan's martial arts masters, and single-handedly slashed through an army of tens of thousands, shocking countless martial arts masters to the point of dreading them. It was truly incredible. I never expected to see him today, and he's so young. The general truly has great potential at a young age."

Although everyone was shocked and couldn't believe it, they had to believe what Lord Mo said.

Moreover, they had also found out that the person who killed Wan Yunxiang and others at Fallen Dragon Mountain a month ago was a young man who looked to be less than 30 years old.

The man was carrying a person on his back, holding a sword in his hand, killing people in chaos. Even a fifth-grade martial arts grandmaster was no match for him. He was extremely terrifying.

"May I ask General Shenjian, has he reached the fourth rank?" One person couldn't help but ask with a fist salute.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Lai Yang.

They thought that since the other party could easily kill Dayan's two fifth-grade martial arts masters, he must have entered the fourth-grade realm.

However, the next moment, Lai Yang shook his head and slowly said, "I'm not a fourth-grade cultivator. Strictly speaking, I should still be a fifth-grade cultivator, but my body is a little stronger than an average fifth-grade cultivator."

A little stronger?

Just a little bit stronger and he could easily kill two great masters of Da Yan? What a lie.

I'm afraid it's not just a little bit stronger, but billions of times stronger.

Everyone thought that Lai Yang was just being modest. Besides, he was someone brought by Lord Mo, and seemed to be trusted by him, so they didn't pursue the matter further.

At this moment, Lord Mo waved his hand and said, "Okay, now that we've gotten to know each other, let's discuss our plans."

"Now that Wan Yunxiang and Wei Zhongzheng are dead, two of the four Grand Masters of the Great Yan Dynasty are gone. The only remaining top masters are the Great Yan Emperor Yan Chengtian and the commander of Yan Chengtian's secret guards. We now rely on the general to take action, so we don't have to fear them. In addition, the Great Yan Dynasty has lost two of its most powerful warriors at once, and its vitality has been greatly damaged. Yan Chengtian will probably not dare to act rashly in the short term. We must seize this opportunity to unite all the forces we can and attack the Great Yan Imperial City in one fell swoop."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with surprise. One general, with a look of worry on his face, couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, isn't this a bit too hasty? Wasn't our initial plan to suppress and control the surrounding cities first, and then slowly attack after our power grew?"

Lord Mo remained calm as he turned to look at the general who had spoken. "Things are different now. Previously, the Great Yan Imperial City had four Grand Masters. If we had attacked the Imperial City rashly, we would have risked annihilation. But now that the Forbidden Guards' Commander-in-Chief, Wan Yunxiang, and the Imperial Household Chief, Wei Zhongzheng, are dead, this is the perfect time for us to attack. If we allow the Great Yan Dynasty to recover, the advantage General Lai has secured for us will be lost."

"When the time comes, we will deal with Yan Chengtian. You just need to hold off the rest of the army for me and prevent them from causing any harm."

Lord Mo's attitude was firm, and he exuded an aura of majesty without even being angry.

The soldiers looked at each other. Seeing that Lord Mo had made up his mind, they immediately stood up, bowed, and said, "We will obey your orders, Your Highness."

Lai Yang on the side did not say anything. He knew why Lord Mo was so anxious, because he only had one year left.

If he fails to capture the Great Yan Imperial City within a year, his death will be imminent. Once he falls, it will be hard to say whether Beijiang City will have a chance to recover.

Once the Great Yan Dynasty suppresses all rebellious forces, Beijiang City will be destroyed.

Afterwards, everyone discussed the plan to attack the Great Yan Imperial City. Lai Yang listened quietly on the side without any intention of intervening.

It's okay to let him swing a sword and kill people, but forget about letting him march, fight, and formulate strategies.

A strong murderous aura was vaguely permeated around everyone present. They were all veterans of the battlefield who had experienced life and death, and were much more reliable than him.

The discussion lasted for a whole day and night.

The next day.

Lord Mo asked his confidant to deliver a letter to another king of a different surname. He also had many backup plans that he had not intended to use immediately, but he had to use them.

In order to break into the city as quickly as possible and enter the Great Yan Imperial City.

A month later, Lord Mo successfully received a reply from another king of a different surname, and the other party's reply did not disappoint him.

A smile appeared on Lord Mo's face, and he immediately ordered the army to attack the Great Yan Imperial City.

This time, thanks to Lai Yang's joining, those sects in the martial arts world were frightened and no longer dared to intervene in the battle at will.

Even though Yan Chengtian promised huge benefits, not many martial arts masters dared to come forward to stop the attack of Lord Mo's army.

Just kidding, although benefits are tempting, you have to have your life to get them.

Even a fifth-grade martial arts grandmaster was killed by that man with a single sword strike. There was really no need for them to lose their lives for a tiny bit of profit.

It would be fine if they didn't meet, but once they did, with that person's strength and sword, they would be dead.

Not only that, on the contrary, because of the battle at Fallen Dragon Mountain, many sects, big and small, in the martial arts world began to look favorably upon Lord Mo's rebel army, and even secretly sent people to contact them to provide assistance to the army.

Once Lord Mo succeeds in his rebellion, they will also be able to gain a lot of benefits. If they are late, they won’t even be able to get a share of the benefits.

A few days later, looking at the tall city wall in front of him, Lai Yang silently drew his sword and stepped forward.

Qingxiao hummed softly, and then the majestic sword energy gathered and turned into a ten-foot giant sword.

Lai Yang swung his sword, and the heavy city gate in front of him collapsed, actually being split in half by the terrifying sword energy.

This scene shocked and frightened countless people.

"This...this...breaking the city gate with one sword, is this something a mortal can do?"

Seeing this, Lord Mo was overjoyed. He waved his hand and shouted, "The city gate has been breached. Those who surrender will be spared, but those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

"Brothers, rush with me!"

"kill!!!"
