Chapter 409 Because of him, he promised me

After Xiao Mo personally led his army to war against the Qi Kingdom, two years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the two years since, even with the assistance of the State of Qi and the State of Wandao, the Qin army has successively conquered city after city.

Xiao Mo was now approaching the Canghai Pass of the Qi Kingdom.

Reaching Canghaiguan signifies that the great battle within the territory of Qi has entered its final stage.

Once Canghai Pass is breached, the gateway to the Qi capital will be completely exposed to the Qin army, like a woman untying the sash around her waist.

By that time, even if the capital of Qi was not destroyed, it would already be a mere shell of its former self.

King Qi knew the seriousness of the matter, so he personally led the allied forces of Qi and Wan Island to fight Xiao Mo to the death.

As for the territory of Zhao, things didn't go as smoothly as Xiao Mo's.

Initially, even though Li Jing and his men's siege wasn't going too smoothly, they still held a certain advantage.

However, the demon armies of Liuhuo Kingdom and Xigu Kingdom were indeed too troublesome.

Furthermore, later, all the kingdoms of the demon realm reached an agreement that each kingdom would send some troops to support the Zhao Kingdom.

In the eyes of these demon kings, if the Zhao state could defend its cities, even push back the battle lines, or even conquer Qin's territory, then they would take a share of the spoils.

It doesn't matter if the Zhao state can't hold out; they can just retreat.

So what if some demon cultivators die in the process?

It wasn't a huge financial burden for them.

However, it is impossible for the demon race's kingdoms to send even more troops there.

Firstly, many demon kings felt that the affairs of the world were none of their concern.

It's utterly outrageous that our own demon race would sacrifice demon cultivators to protect the human race's kingdom!
If it weren't for that person's initiative to persuade me, I wouldn't have sent troops there!

Secondly, if too many demon cultivators enter the Myriad Laws World, the mountain sects of the Myriad Laws World will no longer sit idly by.

At that time, it will no longer be a war between dynasties, but may very well trigger a full-scale war between the two worlds.

Therefore, there are already enough demon cultivators supporting the Zhao Kingdom.

But it was precisely with the help of these demon cultivators that King Zhao not only withstood the attacks of Li Jing, Fang Weiming, and others, but even gained a considerable advantage.

However, after stabilizing the situation in the State of Zhao, King Zhao did not rush to reverse the course of events.

In the eyes of the King of Zhao, the most important thing now is to support the State of Qi.

Otherwise, if the State of Qi were to fall, the State of Zhao would be left to fend for itself.

The Zhao state's allied forces of humans and demons found an opportunity to break through Fang Weiming's defenses, traversed the territory of Jin, and then made a long detour to join forces with the Qi state's army.

In addition, after careful consideration, the King of Wan Island decided to place another bet on the Qi Kingdom!

After all, too many cultivators from the Wan Island Kingdom had died, and he was really unwilling to leave just like that!
Therefore, the king of Wan Island Kingdom dispatched another army of 300,000 to Qi Kingdom.

The lowest level among these 300,000 troops is the Cave Abode Realm.

The ruler of the Wandao Kingdom has spared no expense.

The arrival of the demon-human reinforcements and the Wan Island Kingdom reinforcements greatly relieved the Qi army and boosted their morale.

King Qi was overjoyed, feeling confident that he could hold off Xiao Mo and even turn the tide of battle.

Inside the Qin army's camp.

Xiao Mo and the other generals looked at the huge sand table in the center, and everyone's expression was extremely solemn.

"General, the combined forces of Qi, Zhao, the demon army, and the Wan Island army now number four million! And all of them are at least at the Foundation Establishment stage."

While our army also numbers four million, about thirty percent of them are martial artists in the Qi Refining stage, putting us at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation level.

Xu Yao, who was accompanying the army, said with a frown.

"General, should we send some troops over?" Chen Wang asked.

"No."

After pondering for a long time, Xiao Mo shook his head. "Although I killed a group of feudal lords before and intimidated them, many others are just hiding their intentions and waiting for an opportunity."

Moreover, it's hard to say about those aristocratic families.

Now, Qin still needs troops stationed in various parts of the country to keep the feudal lords and nobles in line.

As for the Zhao state, if Li Jing were to send troops over, I fear the defenses would be in trouble.

As he finished speaking, Xiao Mo gazed at the endless plains beyond Canghai Pass on the sand table:

"The Canghai Pass is very large, and the plains outside are large enough to accommodate millions of people fighting and battling."

However, Canghai Pass is also very small, not enough to accommodate four million people to guard the city.

Qi also knew that the longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them, since Wan Island Kingdom and the demon cultivators of the Demon Realm didn't have that much patience.

Not to mention that Liu Xing and his men were still attacking the city from both flanks, slowly but surely cutting it apart.

Therefore, they will definitely fight us to the death.

And we cannot back down.

If we retreat, the other two routes will be gone too.

That being the case!

Then let's fight!

As he spoke, Xiao Mo raised his head and said with a smile, "Whether the world of myriad laws will move towards unification or continue to be divided depends on this."

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, everyone's attention was on high alert.

Even though they had been generals for many years, they couldn't help but feel nervous now.

If we say that all the battles, large and small, in the past were merely a process of unifying the world, then...

This final battle at Canghai Pass will bring an end to the entire Wanfa Tianxia (a world of myriad laws).

"Go and prepare," Xiao Mo said to everyone with a smile. "Let the soldiers rest and recuperate, and spread the news of the great battle."

"Yes, General!" The generals saluted and withdrew from the tent.

After everyone left, Xiao Mo picked up a pen and wrote a letter, in which he described the current war situation and indicated that he would soon have a decisive battle with the State of Qi.

In addition, Xiao Mo wrote another letter, which had bloodstains from his fingers on it.

The first letter was delivered to the palace via a flying sword.

The second letter, along with the seal of the Prince of Zhenbei, was sent to Qiu Wen.

After explaining everything, Xiao Mo stepped out of the tent and looked into the distance, towards the direction of the Qin capital.

After a long while, Xiao Mo withdrew his gaze.

He took a small clay figure out of his pocket.

The clay figure was ugly, but in Xiao Mo's eyes, it was beautiful.

Xiao Mo stretched out his finger, gently scraped the clay figure's nose, and smiled slightly.

Carefully tucking the clay figure into his arms, Xiao Mo took a deep breath and walked straight ahead.

Three days later, Qin Siyao received a message from Xiao Mo's flying sword, informing her that Xiao Mo was about to engage in a decisive battle with the Qi Kingdom outside Canghai Pass.

Looking at the envelope, Qin Siyao remained silent for a long time.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the young master will definitely return." Peanut, seeing Qin Siyao's worried expression, comforted her.

"I know."

Qin Siyao reached out and gently stroked his handwriting on the envelope.

"I knew he would come back."

"Because of what he promised me."
