"I notice changes in the defenses of Xiyi City; did Erlang’s father leave the city?" Li Zhaowen paused slightly, saying, "Mr. Li, your eyes are indeed sharp, correct." "My father and elder brother are not content with merely having connections with Anxi City. After your successes, Mr. Li, they immediately began enlisting other cities, creating quite a formidable formation, with twenty or thirty cities allied with our Xiyi City." "Now the Wolf King has blocked Heroic Pass, causing unrest in the other cities." "My father has the heart of a brave and ambitious man, and sees an opportunity, thus he leads the army outside to participate in this great tide. I tried to dissuade him many times, but he always rebuked me, saying that such an opportunity should not be missed, and he went ahead obstinately." Li Guanyi looked at Li Zhaowen. Li Zhaowen paused again, gave a bitter smile, and said, "Enough, if I say this, Mr. Li will surely not believe it. My father cherishes his life and would not lightly leave the city. Mainly, there was a message from the capital." "Military God Jiang Su pointed out that the current Western Regions is one of the key pivotal places in the world’s tempestuous changes." "He criticized my father and brother for only knowing how to hide and guard themselves, saying they were not as strategic and advancing as Lu Youxian from Chen Country, and issued a military order demanding they dispatch troops to engage in the contest over the Western Regions." "The battle to conquer Chen Country is at a critical juncture." "The Great General instructed my father to conquer the Western Regions at all costs, absolutely not allowing the Wolf King’s momentum to prevail. My father reviewed the military order for a long time and ordered me and my elder brother to guard this place while he personally led the army on campaign." Li Guanyi asked his greatest doubt, "With the leadership and martial skills of Military God Jiang Su, is there anyone who can balance him? At present, Chen Country should not have any Divine Generals capable of opposing him." "Theoretically speaking, Chen Country ought to be retreating step by step at this moment." "Could it be that..." Li Zhaowen fell silent for a moment, then softly said: "The Great Khan of the Turkic steppe has personally gone on campaign." "Because of a mistake by the Crown Prince, the Seventh Prince of the Turkic, along with our nation’s princess, fled to their own territory. The original plan to use the excuse of sending a bride, escorted by the generals of the Yuwen clan, to lead the Seventh Prince and princess back to the steppe to curb the Great Khan’s advance, failed." "The Great Khan of the Turks was greatly angered." "The world’s second Divine General, along with Iron Futu, is clashing with the North Prefecture Army under Military God Jiang Su in the Northern Border. Originally, there was an agreement between His Majesty and the world’s third Divine General of the Northern Border, also the first Divine Shooter, General Gao Xiang." "Although General Gao Xiang’s Longxiang Army is willing to assist, the situation in the Northern Border is tumultuous. Originally standing off against one another were Qu Tutong, Xue Tianxing, and Yue Pengwu. Now these three armies have converged." "In the stalemate, Yue Pengwu donned heavy armor and wielded the Divine Weapon Li Quan Spear, re-entering the battle with greatly boosted morale. Though they cannot defeat General Gao Xiang, they can still hold back the Longxiang Army, preventing it from moving south to help." "The world’s tumultuous situation is forcefully countered." Just from what Li Zhaowen had said, he had already clarified the changing storm of the world. This global tumult never settles in just one place. While Li Guanyi rides across the Western Regions, heroes elsewhere vie and struggle. The world is not at a standstill. "His Majesty is greatly angered, and the position of the Crown Prince is a bit unstable." The rightful source is NoveI~Fire.net "Meanwhile, the originally ignorant Second Prince Jiang Yuan chose to personally advance to the front line to the battlefield attacking Chen Country. So, my Daying Kingdom is actually simultaneously confronting the steppe in the Northern Border and Chen Country in the south." Li Zhaowen commented, "Chen Dingye is merely a Poisonous Flood Dragon who plays with scheming strategies." "In the past, Chen Country had General Zhou’s Hooked Scythe Spear Heavy Shield Soldiers, capable of opposing Iron Futu; Night Rider Cavalry, unmatched across the land; the Entrapment Camp, Great Halberd Soldiers, Yue Pengwu’s Armored Heavy Cavalry, Wolf King’s Gray Wolf Cavalry, Xiao Wuliang’s Mo Ke Flying Army, Taiping Duke’s Taiping Army." "A million armored soldiers strong." "They could hold a four-six balance against the Military-God-bearing Daying Kingdom." "In a mere ten years, they have declined to such a state that even when allied with the Northern Border steppes, they subtly show signs of defeat. The tempestuous world is evident even today." Li Zhaowen sighed lamentingly, "Only, the once stable strategy suddenly failed for reasons unknown. Xiyi City, as a frontier land, does not know the global situation, but there are faint rumors that it is the handiwork of a mysterious strategist in the Seventh Prince’s domain." "To sway the world with his own power, causing the current situation." "Most rumors are false." "But it really makes one imagine, if there truly is such a strategist, standing amidst the storm of the world and causing the entire era’s situation to irreversibly change due to his ingenious strategies, what a remarkable genius that would be!" Li Zhaowen lamented, "I really wish to have such a great talent under my command!" Li Guanyi sipped tea silently in thought. This person is already under my command. Li Guanyi’s mouth curled slightly, then subdued it with a cough. The bitterness of the tea kept it in check. Li Zhaowen and Li Guanyi casually conversed over tea, using the geographical map on the table to discuss the world’s tumultuous changes. Before Li Guanyi’s eyes, it was as if he saw legendary generals galloping across the battlefield, with General Yue and others at the Northern Border balancing Gao Xiang; the world’s first Divine General and second Divine General contending on the steppe. Night Rider Cavalry moving south to contest with Tiger Barbarian Cavalry. Yuwen Lie wielding his spear in the Central Plains, Chen Fubi galloping on the battlefield. Li Guanyi’s gaze slightly solidified, settling on the Western Regions. Li Zhaowen looked at Li Guanyi, saying, "Mr. Li should have already noticed as well."
