Chapter 64: Doubts_1
"Hasten your pace! We must reach the Imperial Capital by tomorrow morning!" Qin Wudao barked, clutching the imperial decree, his face grim. He had just entered the East Ancient Domain.
When passing through a small border town, he had summoned the county magistrate to inquire about the state of affairs within the empire. However, he was told that everything was normal and there was no news of the Prince of Gaoyang’s rebellion.
This was highly unusual.
"HYAH!" Upon hearing the command, the soldiers whipped their warhorses, their speed increasing dramatically.
The current Great Qin Iron Cavalry was a far cry from its former self. Honed by blood and fire, all its soldiers had reached the Beyond the Shore Realm. Paired with mounts at the Real Human Realm, their speed was extraordinary, capable of covering thousands of miles in a day.
It was no exaggeration to say that the Great Qin Iron Cavalry had become the empire’s most formidable legion, second to none.
That was precisely why the Qin Emperor had entrusted Qin Wudao with the heavy responsibility of recapturing the Imperial Capital.
The thunderous sound of hooves, like rolling thunder, shook the heavens and the earth.
While Qin Wudao raced towards the Imperial Capital, a momentous event was unfolding within its walls: all the city’s inhabitants had fallen unconscious.
"The blood pool is complete. It’s time to fill it with fresh blood!" announced a black-robed figure. Accompanied by several subordinates, he entered an underground passage that had been excavated for days.
The tunnel was pitch-black, devoid of any light. Only after walking for a few minutes did a faint glimmer appear ahead.
