Chapter 974 - 421, Make a feint to the east but attack in the west, blinded by rage.
New Yu Era, January 6, 1333, early morning
Pingcheng King, Wanyan Jun stood on the city wall of Jiuhua Dao City with four grandly dressed and powerful individuals. He gazed towards the wilderness and Official Road to the south, his expression gradually becoming grim.
On the fifteenth of last month, his two million troops had reached the junction of Jiuhua and Dongyuan. Without any pause, they marched directly to Jiuhua Dao City to set up camp. Scouts were deployed along the way, just waiting for the allied forces of the three families to enter the territory, ready to intercept at any moment.
Of course, the two million under him were not enough. He had called upon Yingtian, Yongguan, Qingyan, and Shouguang Marquis from the Capital Region Path, each leading five hundred thousand troops to station at Jiuhua Dao City.
The battle in Dongyuan Path had already proven that having too many troops for a battle wasn't suitable for splitting forces. This time, he learned his lesson, gathering all four million troops together, placing scouts across Jiuhua Dao's territory, only waiting to confirm the movements of the allied forces to respond accordingly. Brought to you by the folks at MV|LEMPYR.
But as they waited and waited, something seemed amiss.
Twenty days ago, the scouts returned with news that the allied forces had reached the junction of Jiuhua Dao and Wangchuan Road, yet, so much time had passed, and there was still no sign of the allied forces within Jiuhua Dao.
Initially, he thought it was because the allied forces were too numerous, slowing down their march. But as more time passed, he realized something was wrong.
Suddenly, a general in armor, accompanied by thirty-eight men in black, approached him from behind, kneeling down together.
"Your Majesty, all the returning scouts have been brought here."
