Chapter 981 - 424: The Alliance’s Crushing Defeat, Li Su’s Alarming Realization
January 15th, Year 1333 of the New Yu Era
Dongyuan Path, Shunkang City.
The smell of blood broke through the sky, staining the clouds, the earth seemed to be draped in a pitch-black carpet, the air was filled with the stench of blood, severed limbs were scattered everywhere, and occasionally there was a relatively intact corpse being gnawed on by unknown crows, some tiny wild beasts from the mountains were scampering about, fully indulging in this feast.
These wild creatures, while feasting, greedily absorbed the bloody grievances of the battlefield, not knowing how many would eventually become monsters or demons.
"Clean up the battlefield, the army will garrison in Shunkang for ten days!"
A resounding voice echoed above the prefectural city, the city, which had just been silent, suddenly burst into the sound of crowd movements, and in no time, squads of soldiers marched out of the city gates, starting to clear the area around the gates.
These soldiers were all clad in black-gold armor, with blood stains still on their cheeks, armor, and weaponry, their faces fierce, their bodies still tense, clearly just having been through a bloody battle.
Shunkang City, Prefectural Tower Hall
More than twenty armored generals sat on either side, further ahead were the three Kings of Yuzhao, Xikang, and Lingyun, and at the top of the hall, Emperor Wanyan Cheng of Yuliang held a wine cup and stood up, first glancing at the strategist Li Su beside him, then turned to face the generals, laughing loudly:
"Thanks to your fierce battles, we have taken Shunkang City, now only Yinyu and Baekje remain in the hands of the alliance, once we take these two prefectures, the entire Dongyuan Path will fall under the control of our Great Jin, I toast to you all!"
