Chapter 242 The Quagmire of War
Qin Wu also received news of the chaos in the Central Region.
Upon hearing this news, Qin Wu couldn't help but smile.
That was his goal.
By keeping most of the Immortal Sect's strength tied up in the Central Region, he could fight freely here.
"Your Highness, Liu Yu has sent word that they have found the trail of the group that attacked the Princess."
Liu Feng hurriedly arrived at the top of Shenfeng Mountain.
"Has the Central Region been found? I have been waiting for this day for a long time. I have Liu Yu keep an eye on them. This time, I will take action myself. I will let them know that not just anyone is someone they have the right to touch."
"Have people prepare! The princess is much better now, so I don't need to guard her anymore. Go and bring those people back for her, so she can take revenge herself."
"By the way, where is Elder Eleven?"
Qin Wu inquired.
He waited so long, and finally found traces of those people.
He wanted to see who gave them the audacity to attack his wife.
"We'll arrive in two more days."
Liu Feng reported.
"Okay, we'll set off once they arrive."
"I haven't done anything for a long time, it's time for me to get some exercise."
Qin Wu sneered.
"Yes, I will make arrangements now."
Liu Feng accepted the order and withdrew.
Two days later.
The eleventh elder and others finally arrived at Shenfeng Manor.
"Young Wu, why are you in such a hurry to send us over? You didn't even write it clearly in the letter."
The eleventh elder looked at Qin Wu and said speechlessly.
What was originally a two-week journey was shortened by three days for them.
If it weren't for their decent cultivation levels, this would have been fatal.
"Eleventh Elder, I need you to protect Shenfeng Manor for a period of time. I need to leave for a while."
Qin Wu made no attempt to hide anything.
"You're leaving? What are you going to do there?"
The eleventh elder was somewhat curious.
Qin Wu left at this point, somewhat puzzled.
"My men have found the group that attacked the Queen. I am prepared to personally capture them all."
"Furthermore, it will soon be time for my Divine Martial Army to reach the gates of the Immortal Sect. I intend to go and see if this Immortal Sect, which dominates the Central Plains, truly lives up to its name."
Qin Wu explained.
This news only came out yesterday.
The Divine Martial Army is not far from the Immortal Sect's location.
Once he catches those audacious individuals, that should be about it.
This time, he prepared a full 100,000 cannonballs for the Immortal Sect. He wanted to see if the Immortal Sect could withstand it.
"You want to do it yourself?"
The eleventh elder did not expect that Qin Wu would actually take action himself.
Those people have probably really angered Qin Wu this time.
This time I'm probably going to be in big trouble.
"Yes, among them are two at the third realm, five at the second realm, and eight at the first realm. With such strength, I cannot guarantee that I can capture them all alive unless I personally take action."
Qin Wu nodded.
If it weren't for the need to capture him alive, he wouldn't have needed to take action himself; he could have simply sent someone with the scroll he had crafted.
However, since those people dared to attack Jiang Pingle, how could he let them die so easily?
We have to bring them back and let them experience all sorts of torture.
After hearing Qin Wu's words, the Eleventh Elder understood Qin Wu's plan and silently mourned for those people.
Of all people to offend, they have to offend this living devil. They deserve their bad luck.
"Okay, don't worry, I will make sure nothing happens to your princess while I'm here."
Knowing he couldn't dissuade Qin Wu, the eleventh elder finally agreed.
"Well then, I'll leave in the absence of Elder Eleven. I'll be ready to depart now."
Qin Wu thanked him and then got up to leave.
Before leaving, he went to see Jiang Pingle again to reassure her and help her recover.
News of Qin Wu's departure quickly reached the palace.
When the Emperor of Eastern Qin heard that Qin Wu had left, he guessed what Qin Wu had gone to do.
My head started to ache again.
Qin Wu's departure this time is likely to lead to something big, and he needs to prepare in advance.
Therefore, the Emperor of Eastern Qin consulted with the retired emperor and others.
Subsequently, an imperial decree was issued from the palace, ordering Eastern Qin to once again conscript 20 million soldiers nationwide.
This was the first time that Eastern Qin had conducted such a large-scale conscription.
The four ancient clans and their subordinate forces all sent Grandmasters and Grandmasters to serve in the army.
They wanted to gain some advantages in this great battle, an opportunity they had been waiting for a long time.
Especially the three tribes of Man, Zhou, and Gu.
They now understand very well that they can only gain the greatest benefit from this millennium war by joining forces with the Qin clan.
Perhaps it can even drag the Immortal Sect off its position as the hegemon of the Central Plains and break its rule that has lasted for countless years.
This millennium war can also be used to reduce the allocation of resources to the Immortal Sect for the next thousand years.
The Eastern Qin side took action.
The Immortal Sect has also made its move.
They reassembled a coalition army of twenty million, blocking the advance of the Divine Martial Army.
They confronted the Divine Martial Army.
There's no way around it; the Shenwu Army is too powerful these days. If we let it continue, we're afraid we won't be able to stop them anymore.
Also, the Divine Martial Army is about to reach the Immortal Sect's headquarters.
This is something the Immortal Sect absolutely forbids.
However, the Divine Martial Army was not afraid at all; they were truly battle-hardened elites.
The tacit understanding between the soldiers was unmatched by these hastily formed allied forces.
Even with only three million troops, they were not afraid of facing an allied force several times their size. The artillery shells were used as if they were free, and the allied forces were bombarded every day.
It inflicts countless casualties on the coalition forces every day.
They have sent troops before, attempting a direct assault.
However, under the bombardment of artillery, their casualties were enormous with each attack, and the key problem was that they were still unable to break through the defenses.
The allied forces then attempted to divide their forces and attack various cities.
However, the Eastern Qin side was well prepared, and they simply couldn't breach the city.
The two sides fought for half a month.
The Immortal Sect continued to reinforce its troops, turning the area into a quagmire of war.
Meanwhile, reinforcements from the Eastern Qin side arrived, and the two sides continued their back-and-forth fighting, but the allied forces were always at a disadvantage.
The numerous casualties put increasing pressure on the Allied forces, eventually leading to desertions.
The allied forces began to show signs of defeat.
