The Imperial Guards, like Yama, slaughtered until the Empress cried out for help.

Now that the plan has been finalized, it must be executed with lightning speed.

A total of 15,000 men from the three armies and the Imperial Guard headed straight for Wangyue Valley.

The ferocious beasts originally used to transport the Sky-Bombing Cannon were thrown aside and replaced by martial artists at the Grandmaster and Innate realms.

Those at the Innate Realm carry one cannon, while those at the Grandmaster Realm carry two cannons. With them on their shoulders, they rush towards Wangyue Valley.

It's one thing that those at the Innate Realm and Grandmaster Realm are faster, but more importantly, this time they need to travel stealthily. Those transport beasts are all unintelligent, and it would be bad if they alerted the Japanese pirates.

Moon stars are rare.

Taking advantage of the darkness of night, the army quickly and stealthily made its way to the outside of Wangyue Valley.

A master carrying a Sky-Breaking Cannon carefully placed it on the ground, glanced at the distance to Moon Gazing Valley, waved his hand, and lowered his voice.

"The range is enough! Hurry, hurry, assemble!"

Several engineers immediately rushed forward.

The Grandmaster was constantly on guard, as this was the easiest time to be exposed.

Because we are closest to Wangyue Valley at this moment, it will take a little while to assemble the Thunder Cannon before we can start the cannon. We are very likely to encounter Japanese spies now.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise from a tree. The master turned around sharply and saw a dark figure in the tree. He let out a low shout.

"Who goes there!"

Of course, even faster than his voice was Shen Qing's throwing knife.

A flying knife flashed a brilliant silver light in the night, followed by a muffled thud. The Japanese pirate was instantly blasted into a bloody mist, and the sound of the explosion was suppressed by the domineering true energy.

Shen Qing walked to the Grandmaster's side and said calmly, "Continue."

The master swallowed hard. Was this a hidden weapon? The power seemed off.

How come it's even more powerful than a cannonball?

However, the master quickly found a reason to convince himself.

Single shot! Single burst! One hit kills! And it's silent! Matches the description! It's definitely a concealed weapon!

The master turned around, ran to the side of the person assembling the Sky-Shattering Cannon, and started installing it directly. In a short while, all the Sky-Shattering Cannons beside him were installed.

Several soldiers quickly loaded their weapons and then looked at Shen Qing.

"Lord Shen! Loading complete!"

Meanwhile, inside Wangyue Valley.

Taro Sato, the leader of the Black Serpent Army, is directing his troops to organize their equipment in the valley.

Suddenly, a lieutenant walked over holding a carrier pigeon.

"General! There's a secret message!"

Sato Taro took the carrier pigeon, a hint of suspicion on his face: "Where did it come from?"

"He's an inside man for the Northern River Army."

Sato Taro's suspicion faded: "Looks like we have new intelligence. Prepare for the attack. At daybreak, we'll march at full speed and launch a surprise attack on the Northern River Army!"

After saying that, Sato Taro opened the secret letter, but there was no message on it, only two sentences written in a flamboyant style.

"Damn Japanese pirates, I'll fuck you!"

"Have you had breakfast yet? If not, you'll get a shot!"

Sato Taro's face immediately darkened, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.

The next moment, a red firework rose rapidly from the south side, followed by a sharp shout.

"fire!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of cannons firing rang out continuously, and hundreds of cannons from three armies simultaneously unleashed their fire from all directions.

It started raining in Wangyue Valley, but the raindrops were like cannonballs.

Sato Taro's expression changed drastically: "Quick, hide!"

But trying to hide? It's not that easy.

They were gathering, and the five thousand Japanese pirates were all in the open space in Wangyue Valley. It could be said that they had taken the full damage from the first wave of artillery shells.

Several cannonballs landed precisely in the crowd.

In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and people cried out for their parents.

Before they could react, the sound of the second volley of shells leaving the barrel rang in their ears like the Grim Reaper demanding their lives.

The terrifying power caused the entire Moon Gazing Valley to tremble slightly, and rocks on both sides continued to roll down.

They buried the Japanese pirates who were hiding under the cliff alive.

After ten rounds of bombardment, the ground in Wangyue Valley was turned upside down.

After waiting for a long time, the cannon fire did not sound again.

Sato Taro patted the dust off his head and gritted his teeth as he looked at the dismembered limbs scattered on the ground.

"Those who can still move, stand up! Their cannons must have finished firing; quickly break through to the exits on either side!"

"quick!"

The surviving Japanese pirates did not hesitate; they picked up their weapons and charged to both sides, their fierce footsteps echoing through Wangyue Valley.

Meanwhile, troops were already on high alert at both exits.

At the south exit, the Golden Spear Army was ready. At the front, a young soldier scratched the corner of his clothes and wiped the sweat from his palms.

His name is Zhang Po. He is a soldier in the Acquired Realm. He is only nineteen years old. He dreams of becoming a peerless hero, so he joined the army as soon as he heard the news of the Japanese pirate invasion.

However, after experiencing the cruelty of war, his heroic dreams gradually faded away.

At that moment, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, and an old soldier beside him gripped his rifle tightly and gave a low shout.

"The Japanese pirates are coming! Get ready!"

Soon, a large group of Japanese pirates stormed out of the valley.

The soldiers of the Golden Spear Army, their eyes blazing with murderous intent, roared, "Kill!"

The army charged out swiftly, and Zhang Po was naturally among them. He gripped his spear tightly and fought against the Japanese pirates who were charging towards him.

However, he ultimately suffered from a lack of experience, and in a moment of inattention, he lost his grip on the spear and it slipped from his hand.

The Japanese pirates' swords were already aimed at his head.

In that instant, Zhang Po's mind went completely blank.

Just then, a hand gleaming with a white, shimmering light reached out and shattered the Japanese sword and the Japanese pirate with a single blow.

Shen Qing grabbed Zhang Po's shoulder with one hand and lifted him up. Then, with a burst of true energy, he pulled the spear that Zhang Po had dropped and put it back into Zhang Po's hand.

Shen Qing patted him on the shoulder: "Wanting to achieve great things is a good thing, but surviving is the key."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qing drew his Chixiao sword and strode towards the Japanese pirates.

"Your days are numbered!"

"Ninefold Thunder Sword!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge thunder dragon appeared and disappeared, rushing straight towards the Japanese pirates at a terrifying speed. Wherever it passed, all the Japanese pirates were cut down into ashes, and those affected by the aftershocks were also sent flying into the sky.

This strike made all the Golden Spear Army soldiers widen their eyes in disbelief.

Zhang Po, however, stared at Shen Qing's retreating figure with shining eyes.

At this moment, his long-dormant dream of heroism was rekindled.

And the face of the peerless hero in the dream slowly overlapped with Shen Qing's face.

Until they are completely united as one.
