Chapter 227 The Qin Dynasty arrives in Tianhu Prefecture, and the Moya Clan scouts arrive.
The Huangfu Dynasty's advance was much slower compared to that of the Qin Dynasty.
Although it occupied a large portion of the territory, it was still far inferior to that of the Qin Dynasty.
At this time, Huangfu Dichao had just captured a city and encountered almost no resistance.
Most of the troops here have been transferred away, leaving only the elderly, weak, sick and disabled.
The resistance they encountered was mostly organized by the demon people in the city. Although they were numerous, they were not very powerful.
They were easily defeated by the Huangfu Dynasty.
"Marshal, should we speed things up? We just received news that the Qin Dynasty is advancing at several times the speed of us, and several provinces of the Tianhu Dynasty have already fallen into the hands of the Qin Dynasty."
In the void.
The powerful figures of the Huangfu Dynasty were watching the great battle below!
The marshal of the Huangfu Dynasty was a veteran general named Lin Haibo. He had followed the previous emperor of the Huangfu Dynasty in his campaigns and made great contributions. This time, Huangfu Sixuan invited him to join the campaign.
Originally, we didn't need him, but Huangfu Mingrui's affair came to light recently, and he was arrested.
Left with no other choice, Huangfu Sixuan had to ask him to come out.
Beside him, a general asked in a deep voice.
"No need to rush. Let the people of Great Qin test the Heavenly Fox Dynasty first. The Heavenly Fox Dynasty has suffered almost no losses. It would be unwise for us to encounter them now!"
Lin Haibo's expression remained unchanged; he simply kept looking ahead.
Behind them were more than ten powerful figures, all of whom were Mahayana stage experts from the Huangfu Dynasty.
Before long, the city was also captured, and Lin Haibo ordered the advance to continue.
The army of Emperor Huangfu set off again, a vast force of tens of millions stretching as far as the eye could see, its powerful aura spreading unrestrained.
Every demon they encountered, without exception, became a victim of their blades.
...............
Tianhu Prefecture.
A tall city wall has been built here to defend the entire Tianhu Prefecture.
To build this city wall, half of the Tianhu Dynasty's treasury was emptied.
The city walls were engraved with countless array patterns, and all kinds of defensive weapons were available.
Each section of the city wall was guarded by the army of the Heavenly Fox Dynasty, and every now and then a patrol team composed of high-level cultivators would pass by.
At this time, Tianhu Prefecture could be described as impregnable.
However, the high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Fox Dynasty still had solemn expressions.
The Celestial Fox Emperor personally went to the front lines, with the patriarchs of various races following him.
They watched the approaching army in the distance, and no one spoke; their faces were solemn.
The Qin army was still far away, but they could already feel the overwhelming murderous aura emanating from them.
The soldiers of the Heavenly Fox Dynasty were also pale-faced, and they unconsciously gripped their weapons tightly.
My whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
Despite building massive city walls, they did not provide them with sufficient security.
Can they really hold off such a massive army?
"Your Majesty, the Qin army has halted its advance!"
Just then, a minister pointed to the Qin army in the distance and said with delight.
"what?"
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Fox Emperor and the other ministers all looked over.
Sure enough, in the distance, the vast expanse of flying boats hovered in mid-air.
Countless soldiers leaped down from it and began to set up camp.
The Heavenly Fox Emperor frowned slightly, not understanding what the Great Qin was up to.
"What's going on? The Qin army's offensive was so fierce before, and now that they've reached the outskirts of Tianhu Prefecture, why have they stopped?"
A minister from the Heavenly Fox Dynasty said with a puzzled expression.
"I don't know! Could it be that their army is exhausted after a long march, so they plan to rest for a while before attacking?"
Another minister was also very puzzled.
"Send out scouts to find out the Qin army's intentions! Remember, never get too close to their army..."
The Heavenly Fox Emperor gave the order in a deep voice.
"Here!"
Soon, several figures shrouded in black robes flew out from within Tianhu Prefecture.
As soon as they left, their figures disappeared.
They were clearly top-notch scouts.
"Marshal, why does the Emperor want us to wait here outside Tianhu Prefecture? Why not just launch a full-scale attack on Tianhu Prefecture and destroy the Tianhu Dynasty?"
Zhang Fei, being rather impatient, said with some dissatisfaction.
He believed that with the current strength of the Qin Dynasty, it was perfectly capable of launching an attack directly, without having to wait for Emperor Huangfu's reign.
Moreover, the Huangfu Dynasty dragged its feet. It could have advanced quickly, but it insisted on fighting city by city, wasting an unknown amount of time.
"Second brother, how dare you question the Emperor's decree..."
Upon hearing Zhang Fei's words, Guan Yu's eyes widened, and he began to reprimand him.
Zhang Fei was somewhat afraid of Guan Yu, so he shrank back and remained silent.
"It's alright. Although the Emperor has ordered us to lead the army to stand by and not attack Tianhu Prefecture, we can still send out powerful warriors to challenge them and test the strength of the Tianhu Dynasty..."
Han Xin waved his hand and said.
"Marshal, this humble general requests permission to lead the charge and be the first to challenge the enemy!"
Zhang Fei's eyes lit up, and he quickly volunteered.
"Marshal, this humble general is also willing to go!"
"Marshal, this humble general requests permission to take command!"
"..."
With Zhang Fei leading the way, the generals of Qin all had a fighting spirit in their eyes and volunteered to take command.
"You can take turns challenging me! Who goes first is up to you to decide, but remember, don't use your full strength..."
Han Xin gave instructions to his generals.
"Here!"
All the generals said excitedly.
"Report, Marshal, we've captured some enemy scouts!"
Just then, a member of the Imperial Guard rushed in, followed by several other Imperial Guards who were holding down some demons dressed in black robes!
"Oh?"
Han Xin looked down at the figures shrouded in black robes, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
"Take off their black robes!"
Han Xin gave the order.
"Here!"
Upon receiving the order, the Imperial Guards immediately removed the black robe from the scout of the Heavenly Fox Dynasty.
Suddenly, figures covered in black feathers appeared inside the tent.
These demons have peculiar appearances, with black feathers covering their bodies and a bird's beak on their faces, resembling enlarged versions of crows.
"This is the Ink Raven Clan. Their overall strength is not great, but they possess a knack for stealth, making them natural scouts!"
The Embroidered Uniform Guard explained.
