Chapter 367 Emperor Yiyuan
"Your Majesty, the troops have assembled!" an orc ran up to report, panting heavily.

The morning mist had not yet dissipated when Shen Tang took a deep breath, suppressing a trace of sadness deep within her heart. As she turned around, her eyes were already as cold as ice.

"Set off."

She waved decisively and personally led her team into battle.

The decisive battle between the Imperial City and Blackblade City officially began at this moment.

The battlefield quickly turned into a meat grinder.

In the trenches, soldiers transformed into beasts to fight each other, used supernatural abilities to bombard each other, or launched artillery attacks. The fighting was fierce, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood everywhere, and smoke billowing into the sky.

Fighter jets roared overhead, while corpses littered the ground.

The battle became increasingly protracted, dragging on for several days without a decisive victory.

……

And the other side.

The imperial city's offensive grew increasingly fierce, and Xiong Kui, the lord of Black Blade City, was extremely anxious and unable to sleep all night.

Late that night, he urgently summoned his generals for a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

The meeting room was filled with smoke, and the people were arguing fiercely.

"Enemy attack! Ah!"

A scream suddenly pierced the night sky.

Followed by.

There was a loud bang.

The doors to the conference hall were shattered by a terrifying force.

A tall, slender figure in silver appeared at the doorway like a ghost.

Behind him lay a field of corpses, leaving no survivors.

"Who are you!"

"This...this is impossible?!"

Xiong Kuiteng stood up abruptly, his face deathly pale.

The generals inside were in complete chaos. Some knocked over teacups, while others slumped in their chairs, looking at the menacing silver-haired man with anger and fear.

"Stop him quickly!"

Xiong Kui roared hoarsely.

A dozen orcs roared and charged forward.

Xue Yinzhou's lips curled into a cold smile. Black mist suddenly rose around him, and terrifying tenth-tier skills poured out like a tidal wave. The orcs were as if they had been cut by invisible blades, instantly turning into a pool of blood.

Xiong Kui was so frightened that his face changed drastically, and he turned to run away.

Xue Yinzhou raised his hand and made a grasping motion. An invisible force condensed in the air, and Xiong Kui's neck felt like it was being clamped by iron clamps. His face turned red, and he was unable to move.

With a crisp "crack," the city lord's neck was snapped, and he collapsed to the ground.

With the city lord dead, the army was thrown into chaos.

The Blackblade City garrison collapsed instantly, retreating in disarray and losing all ability to resist.

The imperial army is reporting frequent victories.

They broke through several enemy checkpoints in succession, penetrated deep into enemy territory, and struck at the heart of the enemy's stronghold.

Just as they were about to successfully capture this lost territory, the situation suddenly reversed, and a dramatic change occurred.

"Your Majesty, this is terrible! Blackblade City and Riftcrown City have joined forces, and the rebels in the North have also begun their operations. They have dispatched several troops overnight to attack!"

Shen Tang's face was grim. "How could this happen so suddenly?"

"Our spies have received information that the main force attacking the Empire is a legion led by the Third Commander of the rebels. Not long ago, the Third Commander died unexpectedly, and the new commander is even more ruthless. In recent days, the rebels have also carried out a major purge. After dealing with the internal forces, this new commander has set his sights on the Empire. He definitely wants to take advantage of our internal strife to take it down in one fell swoop!"

The orc who came to report was extremely anxious. "Another 150,000 troops have gathered in Blackblade City, and we only have less than 50,000 troops left that we can mobilize! The rebels are also trying to take advantage of us! Your Majesty... should we continue the attack now, or retreat immediately to save ourselves?" Shen Tang's face was grim, his fists clenched, and his mood plummeted.

Taking Blackblade City was already a foregone conclusion.

Unexpectedly, the people of Blackblade City were still not giving up. Not only did they join forces with another major warlord power, Riftcrown City, but the rebels in the North also interfered.

Now, the imperial troops are attacking from both sides, and the situation is extremely unfavorable.

Shen Tang gave the order, "The troops shall cease their attack and not make any rash moves. Summon all the garrison commanders in the city to discuss countermeasures."

"Yes."

……

During this period of internal strife within the Nightfall Empire, other surrounding countries were also eyeing it covetously.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. The Night Glow Empire is currently in chaos, but such a behemoth cannot be easily shaken by the small countries nearby.

The neighboring countries have long been divided into several factions by the ancestors of the empire, and they are constantly fighting among themselves. They can't even think about uniting to fight against the Nightbright Empire. They are not a threat for the time being.

The greatest threat to the Night Glow Empire actually comes from the two great empires separated by the sea to the north and south: the Eternal Winter Empire and the Yi Yuan Empire.

The Everwinter Empire rules the far north, a land filled with glaciers and perilous secret realms.

Orcs are few in number in the country, but each one is exceptionally strong and dominates the northern border, unmatched by anyone.

If the Eternal Winter Empire were to send troops to attack at this time, it would be a more powerful blow than the rebels, and the Night Glow Empire would find it difficult to withstand!
Fortunately, the Nightfall Empire and the Eternal Winter Empire are separated by a sea.

This sea area belongs to New Atlantis.

The old emperor was also a shrewd man. He arranged a marriage between the two countries in advance, and now that the two countries are united in marriage, if the Eternal Winter Empire wants to send troops to invade, it will have to break through the defenses of New Atlantis first, which is equivalent to declaring war on two major empires at the same time, and the price to pay is too high.

Nowadays, the northern border only dares to watch from afar and does not dare to make any rash moves.

The Forgotten Sea also separates the Yiyuan Empire and the Yehui Empire.

Unfortunately, after the Forgotten Sea was polluted, living things could hardly survive, and this area was abandoned and sealed off by Atlantis.

Later, several coups occurred within Atlantis, which split and then reunited to form the present-day New Atlantis.

However, this polluted, deadly area of ​​the Forgotten Sea was completely abandoned and became a no-man's land.

The Forgotten Sea is home to many dangerous pollutants, but for a powerful empire like the Yiyuan Empire, traversing this sea is not difficult.

For the Yiyuan Empire, the benefits of annexing the Yehui Empire far outweighed the loss of its troops.

At present, the most likely entity to launch a devastating attack on the crumbling Night Glow Empire is the Yi Yuan Empire, which is far away by the sea!

Currently, various forces are stirring within the territory of the Yiyuan Empire.

in the hall.

The ministers and nobles came to pay their respects and knelt down to greet him.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"May Your Majesty live long and prosper!"

That prestigious position above all others was veiled by a red veil, appearing indistinct, mysterious, and dignified, its true form obscured.

A cough could be heard from time to time; the pleasant voice carried a hint of illness.
"Ahem...ahem...My beloved ministers, what matters do you wish to report today?"

The ministers below the stage were filled with trepidation, exchanging bewildered glances, their emotions a complex mix.

Their emperor had been in poor health since childhood, and after the coup that occurred, he suffered from a serious illness and was bedridden for many years, rarely showing his true face to the public.

It has been half a year since the emperor last held a morning court session.

I heard that His Majesty's health improved a few days ago, which is why he resumed the precedent of holding morning court sessions.

One of the ministers stepped forward first, bowed, and presented his memorial, saying, "Your Majesty, we have come here today to submit a memorial to Your Majesty regarding the matter of launching a military attack on the Night Glow Empire."

Another minister stepped forward and respectfully said, "Your Majesty has been confined to the palace for many years, but you must have heard about what has happened in the Night Glow Empire these days. The Night Glow Empire is currently in chaos and is a piece of fat meat that everyone can divide up. Why don't we take this opportunity to launch an attack and take it down in one fell swoop!"

"To be honest, Your Majesty, we have discussed this matter privately. This military campaign will be entirely beneficial to the Empire. We humbly request Your Majesty's permission!"
