Become a king right from the start, beginning with receiving rewards from all the heavens.

Run away!

The term sounds utterly ridiculous when applied to someone in the Dragon Transformation Realm!

You are all dignified Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators, how could you run away like this?

If you guys run away, what will happen to Daewoo's Wuzhou?

It could be said that all the officials here at this moment were cursing those five Dragon Transformation Realm experts in their hearts.

The governor took a deep breath and raised his hand to quiet the crowd.

"Tell me in detail what you have discovered during your investigation!"

...

"My lord, the Great Xia has suddenly launched an attack, and it's now confirmed that the leading legion is the Heavenly Punishment Army!"

Heavenly Punishment Army!

Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom!

It can be said that among all the overlords of the entire Heavenly Wasteland, no one understands the Heavenly Punishment Army better than Da Yu.

When Daewoo first clashed with the Heavenly Punishment Army decades ago, it not only failed to gain any advantage but also suffered heavy losses.

"Moreover, crucially, on the border battlefield, the Allied forces were also suddenly attacked by the Great Xia."

"A Netherworld Emperor personally intervened, and the five Dragon Transformation Realm experts in the alliance, realizing they were no match, abandoned their army and fled!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a surge of anger welling up inside them, but they couldn't bring themselves to vomit.

It was incredibly frustrating and helpless.

Only then did they understand why the five Dragon Transformation Realm experts had run away.

That's the Emperor of the Underworld!

Nowadays, everyone in the world knows that the Netherworld Emperor of the Great Xia Underworld has at least the combat power of the late stage of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

The five Dragon Transformation Realm experts who were stationed in the alliance were only at the early stage of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

If it were me, I would run away without hesitation.

"My lord, the southern battlefield has collapsed."

"The allied army has been almost completely wiped out. It can be confirmed that Great Xia has changed its strategic intentions."

"Their target is our Great Yu Dynasty!"

At that moment, everyone's spirits and energy instantly waned.

As an official appointed by the imperial court, he was well aware that the current Great Yu was no match for the Great Xia.

Let alone the Great Yu Dynasty, even ten Great Yu Dynasties combined would not be a match for the Great Xia!

The governor took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and said with a solemn expression.

"Two tasks."

"First, report our situation to the imperial court immediately."

"Secondly, find out the whereabouts of the Heavenly Punishment Army immediately!"

After saying that, he looked at everyone present.

"Gentlemen, as officials appointed by the imperial court, our families have long been bound to the Great Yu Dynasty."

"I know some of you are thinking about whether you can seek refuge with the Great Xia."

These words caused several people in the crowd to look away and lower their heads slightly.

"If they were ordinary people, the Great Xia would definitely accept them."

"The Great Xia will not accept people from official families like us."

"Consider the Xia Emperor's attitude towards the powerful families of Great Xia. Do you think he will accept you?"

The governor's words shattered the wishful thinking of some people.

"From this moment forward, immediately strengthen the defenses of the state capital."

"Bring out all the weapons of war; we must defend this border city before the imperial court arrives!"

...

In the void, Guo Jing was leading his army toward Wuzhou City.

At this moment, his subordinates hurriedly came forward.

"General Qi, the follow-up army has taken over Ulan City."

"At this point, the army had already fully invaded Wuzhou!"

Wuzhou in Daewoo has a total of two hundred cities and towns, including the state capital.

However, due to the complete annihilation of the allied army, there are basically no large armies left in Wuzhou.

"Understood!" Guo Jing nodded.

"We don't need to worry about the other cities; we just need to take Wuzhou City!"

The strength of the Heavenly Punishment Army destined this legion to specialize in tackling tough challenges.

"Pass the word down, speed things up!"

"We must seize the three major border prefectures in one fell swoop before the Great Yu Dynasty can react!"

If these three border states fall, the southern gateway of Daewoo will be wide open.

The army of Great Xia will be allowed to roam freely in the heart of the universe.

...

The atmosphere in the capital of Urumqi suddenly became tense.

There are no secrets in this world, and soon, people from all walks of life in the city knew about the Great Xia's attack.

"Oh my god, the Great Xia has really attacked our Great Yu!"

A young man exclaimed in shock to those around him.

This is an ordinary restaurant, and most of the people eating and drinking here are ordinary people.

At most, a few people will occasionally reach the Body Refinement or Blood Exchange Realm.

"This is it, we're doomed. Everyone knows the strength of the Great Xia Dynasty now. I don't think this city can be defended; it's only a matter of time before it falls."

...

"What do you mean 'it's all over'? The ones who should be afraid now aren't us ordinary people, but those high and mighty figures!"

An old man stroked his beard, showing no fear whatsoever.

Everyone immediately looked at him, and someone hurriedly stood up and clasped their hands in greeting.

"Sir, please give us your guidance!"

Why are we safe instead?

...

The old man gently picked up a bite of food from the plate, paired it with the small glass of wine in front of him, and looked incredibly relaxed.

"Gentlemen, the Great Xia is not a demon. In my view, their attack on the Great Yu has only two objectives: to expand their territory and population."

"For the Great Xia Dynasty, ordinary people like us are actually more important than cultivators."

"Because ordinary people have low demands. As long as they have enough to eat and wear, they're fine with whoever rules them!"

...

Suddenly, an anxious voice rang out from the city wall of Wuzhou.

Look at the distant horizon!

The city guard commander's expression suddenly changed; the long, black line that was growing larger was clearly a rapidly moving army.

Ring the bell immediately!

"Raise your weapons, nock your arrows, and prepare your crossbows."

The urgent tolling of the bells echoed throughout the city, and the governor and others rose to look up at the empty sky.

"They're here!"

"How could it be so fast!"

"They've crossed dozens of cities, heading straight for our capital!"

"This is an attempt to wipe out the command and defense systems of Urumqi in one fell swoop!"

Listening to his subordinates, the governor took a deep breath and waved his hand heavily.

"Let's go, let's meet that infamous Heavenly Punishment Army together!"

Everyone knew that ordinary people in the city could surrender, but officials like themselves could not.

...

When they actually saw the million-strong Heavenly Punishment Army descend, the troops in the state city felt an unbearable difficulty breathing.

The governor stood on the city wall, his heart sinking into despair.

How could there be such an army in the world...?

As a cultivator at the Dharma Aspect Realm, one could tell at a glance that the entire army consisted of cultivators at the Purple Mansion Realm.

Before he could speak, Guo Jing raised his hand and waved!

A palm print struck the city wall from a distance, causing the city's protective formation to collapse instantly.

"kill!!"

The next moment, countless arrows from the Heavenly Punishment Army shot towards the city wall.

These arrows, of the talisman level, were simply beyond the capabilities of the state's army to withstand.

In just one attack, nearly ten thousand people have already fallen on the city walls.

"Attack! Attack now!"

A counterattack immediately followed.

Arrows, crossbow bolts, and other attacks surged towards the Heavenly Punishment Army like a tidal wave.

However, not a single member of the Heavenly Punishment Army dodged.

His exposed eyes held only a calm expression.

The next moment, their armor began to glow.

The incoming arrows and crossbow bolts were instantly met as if they had struck a thick iron plate.

They simply couldn't break through the Heavenly Punishment Army's equipment and defenses!
