Chapter 1615: Returning to Xia City! Two Heads!
On the next day, the entire southern region of the Xia Kingdom was in a flurry as the most anticipated day in recent years had arrived. All of the powers had assembled their forces outside the City of Southwind, and with Li Luo leading the Five Guardian Armies as the vanguard, they began their march northward. The army advanced from south to north, crushing any Others in their path like a whirlwind.
City after city was recaptured, but all were deathly silent and deserted. Tragic scenes that made one's scalp tingle dotted the landscape, only fueling everyone’s hatred for the Others.
Tens of thousands of miles of familiar territory had returned to the control of the Xia Kingdom's royal court. When faced with this assault, the Others didn’t show any significant reaction. The remaining Pestilence Kings did not appear, and even high-grade True Devils were rarely seen. Thus, their forces rampaged unopposed, like smashing through rotten wood.
......
As the fires of war consumed the battlefield, Li Luo floated in the air, overseeing everything. He watched numerous squads advance fearlessly, conquering city after city. Pillars of resonant power shot into the sky, and all remnant Others were purged. The army had marched north for five days now, and at their current pace, they would soon arrive at the capital.
However, it felt like things were proceeding far too smoothly. The Others had completely given up on resistance.
Hesitation flickered in his eyes when he caught a glimpse of a signal being sent from a hill ahead. He shot forward, arriving at the location where Jiang Qing’e, Pang Qianyuan, the First Princess, Yu Lang, and the other leaders were gathered.
"Li Luo, we’ll reach the outskirts of the capital tomorrow if we move at full speed," Pang Qianyuan said.
Complicated emotions surfaced in everyone’s eyes when they processed that information. Even Li Luo looked a little dazed. He still remembered the disaster that had overtaken the Xia Kingdom when the Other Disaster first erupted, and how the once-prosperous capital had been transformed into a ghost town. Everyone had fled in panic. He and Jiang Qing’e had no choice but to abandon House Luolan’s headquarters and retreat to the City of Southwind. At the time, no one knew if they would ever return.
