I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory

Chapter 340



“Advisor, what do we do now?” the Great Shí marshal asked, somewhat panicked.

These Repeating Crossbow carts are too overpowered; they can kill not only ordinary soldiers but even Innates. How can his troops stand a chance?

The advisor didn’t speak, for he was utterly disheartened.

The battle had barely begun, and Great Xia had not suffered the slightest loss, while they had already lost 100,000 troops and 15 Innate fighters.

It was too humiliating, too demoralizing; he didn’t even know how to report this to His Majesty.

Now, only by winning this battle could he hope to be forgiven by His Majesty.

“At this point, we have no choice but to ask the Grandmasters to take action!”

The advisor’s expression turned serious, and he bowed in the direction of the rear, calling out loudly, “I beseech the two Grandmasters to intervene and turn the tide of this defeat!”

With two swift sounds, two elders rushed forward rapidly from behind the army.

Needless to say, these two were the Grandmasters from Great Wu.

Within the Great Xia army, a Grandmaster named Mo Yuyan also charged forth.

“To think Great Xia sent only you, this battle is likely to be lost!” one of the Great Wu Grandmasters said.

“It’s not about the number of soldiers. Winning is what matters!”

Mo Yuyan replied confidently, “You two old fellows, I alone am enough to handle you!”

The two Great Wu Grandmasters were somewhat angered, “Arrogant little kid, you have no idea how vast the heavens and earth are!”

At that moment, Mo Yuyan drew out her Xuanxiao Child Sword.

Feeling the powerful force emanating from the blade, her confidence surged even more, and she shouted, “Enough talk, let’s fight!”

She took the initiative, rushing like a sharp sword towards the two Grandmasters.

The two Great Wu Grandmasters were very surprised.

You’re alone and still dare to take the initiative to attack?

What surprised them even more was the change in their opponent’s momentum.

It seemed to suddenly become several times stronger, giving them a sense of danger in their hearts.

There was no time to think further, as the enemy was already upon them, and they had to fight.

In an instant, the three Grandmasters engaged in a fierce battle.

Although it was two against one, to everyone’s surprise, the two Great Wu Grandmasters were not a match for Mo Yuyan.

In less than ten rounds, they were at a disadvantage.

The generals of the Great Shí forces watched in astonishment.

“Our two Grandmasters seem to be no match!”

“The two of them together are losing to a woman?”

“It must be an illusion. I can’t believe it!”

The two Great Wu Grandmasters were also very frustrated.

“Didn’t this woman just break through to Grandmaster? How did she become so powerful?”

“Did she consume some kind of divine elixir?”

Mo Yuyan, however, grew more and more valiant and excited as the battle went on, “Don’t run, you two. Face me properly!”

On the side of Great Xia, morale soared once again.

Drums were beaten and gongs were struck to cheer on Mo Yuyan.

Grand Marshal Chai Yuxin was relieved to see this scene.

Pointing her spear forward, she shouted loudly, “Advance, all troops! Drive them out of Great Xia’s territory! Release the crossbow bolts!”

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”

Arrows fell like rain, covering the sky and in an instant took the lives of tens of thousands of Great Shí soldiers.

The Great Shí marshal roared, “Retreat!”

The 3 million soldiers of Great Shí immediately began to withdraw.

“Release the crossbow bolts again!” Chai Yuxin shouted once more.

Once again, arrows fell like rain, taking away more of the Great Shí soldiers.

The Great Shí marshal watched while spitting blood in frustration.

As a marshal who had been through countless battles, he could accept the loss of soldiers, but he could not accept such a meaningless defeat.

The enemy’s crossbows had a long range and their lethality was astonishing. He had no way to counter them.

Relying on Innates was risky, as they might also fall in battle.

Relying on Grandmasters was not an option either, as they were currently being tied down by the enemy’s Grandmaster, unable to break free.

Thus, there was only one strategy left.

“Retreat!”

The Great Shí troops hastily fell back while the Great Xia forces steadily advanced.

Chai Yuxin was not in the least bit anxious. She planned to wear down the enemy slowly, to see who could outlast whom.

They had plenty of supplies—absolutely enough to last a drawn-out battle.

At this moment, she greatly admired Lin Beifan’s foresight.

He had anticipated all of this, hence he had a large quantity of arrows and other weapons produced be, which now gave them a tremendous advantage on the battlefield.

In less than a day, the Great Shí troops had arrived with vigor and high spirits, only to flee in disarray, discarding their armor and helmets.

They left behind nothing but the lives of five to six hundred thousand soldiers.

The same was true in other battle zones.

Thanks to the Repeating Crossbow carts, the Great Xia troops had secured victory with little effort.

Even deploying a Grandmaster was futile. The Great Xia Grandmasters, bolstered by divine swords, could take on two at a time, leaving the enemy with no opportunity to fight back.

…….

News of this great battle spread quickly across the world, shocking everyone.

“Great Xia actually won?”

“I thought of a million possibilities, but never did I imagine that Great Xia would win with such effortless ease!”

“I didn’t expect Great Xia to be the victor and such a one-sided victory!”

“Great Xia is incredible, even the four top-tier Empires combined couldn’t stand against them!”

“Top-tier Empires? I overestimated them!”

People from the four top-tier Empires were ridiculed by everyone, ending up with faces covered in dust and ash.

……

Within the military camp in Great Shí Kingdom, the advisor spoke with great frustration: “The news has spread, and we have become the laughingstock of the world! His Majesty is furious and has ordered us to turn the situation around and achieve a decisive victory within three days! Otherwise, there’s no need for us to return to face him! Generals, we are all in the same boat now, so please offer your strategies!”

“But what can we do?” one of the generals said helplessly.

“Just the Repeating Crossbow carts alone have us suppressed! Victory is impossible if we don’t deal with the Repeating Crossbow carts!”

“Also, in terms of Grandmasters, Great Xia somehow managed to make their own Grandmasters unleash several times their strength. Our Grandmasters are simply no match! If this is not resolved, we have no hope of winning!”

As they spoke, sighs of despair filled the air.

Initially, many of them had volunteered eagerly for this campaign.

After all, how could four top-tier Empires combined not be victorious?

They never imagined they would be so thoroughly defeated from the start!

Their honor was lost along with the battle.

“At this point, we have no choice but to resort to some tricks!” the advisor said.

The others looked at him expectantly: “Advisor, what do you have in mind?”

“We can send some experts to secretly infiltrate Great Xia territory and cause destruction! With such internal and external coordination, Great Xia will inevitably be overwhelmed. How can we not be victorious?” The advisor said with a meaningful smile.

The others’ eyes lit up: “This plan is good!”

“Advisor, why didn’t you suggest this earlier? We’ve lost so many troops, been scolded by His Majesty, and become the world’s laughingstock…” someone complained.

The advisor gave a wry smile: “Who could have foreseen Great Xia’s strength? But that’s all in the past. Let’s focus on how we can coordinate our efforts inside and out!”

After a night of discussion, they finalized their plan, dispatching 30 Innate experts and over a thousand Acquired realm experts to stealthily enter Great Xia territory, waiting for the right moment to strike.
