Chapter 18: Full Firepower_1
"Your Majesty, Anding Gate has fallen! General Lan Yu has died in battle..."
"Your Majesty, Huihe Gate has fallen! General Qi Sheng has died in battle..."
"Your Majesty, Taihe Gate has fallen..."
A constant stream of reports detailing defeats flowed into the Imperial Palace, stripping the golden throne hall of its former majesty, leaving only panic and unease.
"Why is the Qin army’s attack so formidable?"
Emperor Wei slumped onto his imperial throne. On the table before him, a large stack of memorials was piled high, every single one bearing news of defeat.
With all the military generals dispatched to battle, the grand hall was left with only a few civil officials, making it seem desolate and empty, adding a sense of somberness, as if foreboding something.
"Your Majesty, quickly awaken the Ancestors!" Gongsun Yan urged. The army alone was clearly insufficient to halt the Qin army’s advance. Their only sliver of hope lay in suppressing the enemy with overwhelming martial power.
Why only a sliver of hope, you ask?
Because the Qin Dynasty also had numerous Heaven Realm martial artists. There was even a minuscule chance that the Qin Emperor had secretly broken through to the Holy Realm.
