Chapter 109: Sweeping the Sky Fire Region _1
Yinshan Pass!
Here, Lv Bu had stationed his army of a million soldiers, awaiting the opportune moment to strike. Above the pass walls, elite troops garbed in armor and wielding sharp weapons patrolled vigilantly. Their eyes, sharp as eagles, scanned the area outside the pass, ready to detect any disturbance at the first sign. The tragedy of Lanping Pass must not happen again!
Opposite Yinshan Pass, the legions of the Holy Fire Sect gathered from all directions, an endless sea of soldiers bristling with Evil Qi as they faced off against the Qin Empire. Anyone with discerning eyes knew that the Holy Fire Sect was no match for the Qin Empire. As soldiers, however, they must obey orders, defend their homes and nation, and repel the invasion!
The air was thick with tension; a storm was about to break.
By the time the light of the following day illuminated the earth, a vast amount of supplies had reached Yinshan Pass. By noon, smoke billowed from the fortifications as the aroma of mouth-watering food wafted down. The million soldiers ate heartily, no one uttering a word. Even during mealtime, they kept their armor on and their weapons within reach, ever ready for battle. They all knew the war was about to begin.
There’s an old saying: before the troops can move, provisions must come first. The reason Lv Bu had not yet attacked was that he was waiting for these supplies. Now, with ample food, weapons, and medicinal pills, they were prepared for anything.
"General, our men are well-fed and rested. We can go to battle now!" an officer reported loudly in the command hall, his gaze ablaze with fighting spirit.
Upon hearing this, all the officers within the hall rose simultaneously. Their eager eyes fixed on Lv Bu, anticipating his order, each hoping to be named commander of the vanguard. Being the vanguard was an honor, a testament to one’s strength. Moreover, the vanguard was tasked with clearing roads, bridging rivers, and eliminating the enemy’s advance units—the easiest way to accumulate military merit.
"The Crown Prince has ordered us to unify the nine major domains as soon as possible," Lv Bu announced as he stood up. His towering figure was clad in blood-colored armor, radiating a powerful aura. Dominance flared in his eyes. "Therefore, I will personally lead this battle, aiming to conquer the Fire Domain within five days!" He, the peerless general, longed for a battle.
The officers were thrilled by his ambition. Conquer a domain within five days? Who in the millions of years of the nine major domains’ history had ever accomplished such a feat?
"Relay the order: the entire army is to attack!" Lv Bu commanded, his gaze fixed on the distance beyond the hall’s gate, his killing intent coalescing.
