Chapter 41: Invasion of the Holy Fire Sect_1
"Father, what happened?" Upon entering the grand hall, Qin Wudao quickly asked. All the civil and military officials had their eyes fixed on Emperor Qin.
"The Net reports that the Holy Fire Sect is mobilizing troops on a large scale, and it’s suspected they’re preparing to attack the East Ancient Domain!" Emperor Qin said coldly, his expression grave. In past battles, neither the Holy Fire Sect nor the Qin Empire had deployed Saint Realm powerhouses. However, this time, it seemed they would use their full strength.
The path to immortality had opened, and the struggle between the major factions would only become fiercer. Previously, these were just minor border skirmishes, but now it could be a fight for survival.
"What? The Holy Fire Sect dares to invade again? Haven’t they been scared off by General Bai Qi?"
"Just as the Qin Dynasty has somewhat stabilized, they declare war. They’re trying to take advantage of our vulnerabilities!"
"If they want to fight, then we’ll fight them. Let’s see who’s stronger..."
Upon hearing of the Holy Fire Sect’s invasion, the court erupted. Whether civil officials or military generals, all were eager to fight, brimming with determination. This left Qin Wudao slightly stunned. Is their anger really this great?
However, he was very satisfied with the officials’ attitude. This is exactly how they should react when facing enemies! Fight! Fight fiercely!
"Your Majesty, the Holy Fire Sect has long harbored intentions to attack the East Ancient Domain. I suggest mobilizing a large army and stationing them at Yin Mountain Pass for a decisive battle!" Zhang Gan, gripping his sword, declared with surging killing intent. His tone was even more resolute, proposing a battle to the death before the conflict had even begun.
Yin Mountain Pass was a crucial pass in the northwestern part of the Qin Empire and a key strategic point in the northwestern theater of war. It had the strategic advantage where ’one man could hold the pass against ten thousand foes.’ As long as Yin Mountain Pass held, regardless of the Holy Fire Sect’s numbers, they wouldn’t be able to harm the Qin Empire in the slightest.
But if it fell, the consequences would be unimaginable. The thirty-two cities in the northwest, and their tens of millions of inhabitants, would be completely exposed to enemy attack.
