Chapter 969 - 419, Scout News, Unbelievable_2
What does it mean to actively advance southward?
"If I guessed correctly, the king intends to take the initiative to attack, but Jiuhua Dao has already betrayed the alliance. If the disciples of Divine Sword Manor discover our advance into Jiuhua Dao, they will definitely notify the coalition army to prepare in advance, or even ambush us. With just our two million troops, rashly advancing southward might..."
"Who said it's just our two million troops!"
Wanyan Jun shouted coldly and looked at the crowd behind him, saying: "Although I don't regard the three-family coalition as a threat, this matter concerns the grand scheme of the Holy Dynasty, so we cannot be careless. Rest assured, I've already informed the four marquises of the Capital Region Path to mobilize their army here. With their two million troops and our own two million, dealing with Hou Clan's two million Red Flame Army will be effortless."
Upon hearing Wanyan Jun's words, everyone immediately felt invigorated, and even the Commandant who had just persuaded Wanyan Jun relaxed his expression.
With four million Sacred Army troops, it's easy to contend with all the coalition armies, not to mention initially confronting Hou Clan's two million Red Flame Army in Jiuhua Dao.
"Those two million Red Flame Army troops are probably there because Hou Yuxiao worries we will ambush them halfway, using them as a vanguard for the rear army. There's a four-day journey between the two forces. If we can truly catch up to them and first eliminate the Red Flame Army, then the remaining eleven million from the three-family coalition, under the iron heels of Great Jin, will be utterly crushed, hopelessly defeated."
Wanyan Jun's confident demeanor immediately led the generals to voice their agreement. Indeed, with the presence of four million Sacred Army troops, even if a Saint were to appear, the chance for the three-family coalition to win is minimal.
Even if the alliance truly sends a Saint, Great Jin will not stand idly by.
Twenty Commandants returned to their respective army bases. Wanyan Jun recalled being besieged by Hou Yuxiao, Chu Kuangren, and Lu Kangping, and a trace of coldness flashed in his pupils.
