Chapter 373: The East Barrens Is in Turmoil

“Not long ago, the Great Mystery Sacred Sect revealed that the Dashang Empire has joined forces with the dark creatures, intending to overthrow the East Barrens and even the entire continent!”

“What? There’s actually such a thing?”

“Dashang, traitors of the human race!”

“I didn’t expect such traitors to appear among our human race. Isn’t allying with the dark creatures courting death?”

“How shameless!”

“No wonder the Imperial Lord is personally leading the army. So that’s why!”

“Dashang must be destroyed!”

Amidst the endless discussions, the 30,000 Invincible Army soldiers had already begun teleporting. They stepped into a teleportation formation and quickly vanished.

Everyone understood that in this short time, they were likely already approaching the borders of Dashang. It would probably take some time before the Dasui and Dashang officially clashed.

In the Imperial City, everyone was curious about the outcome of this battle. The Invincible Army had reappeared. Could the Dashang Empire, backed by dark creatures, withstand it?

At the same time, forces from all over the East Barrens were marching towards Dashang!

In just a few days, the entire East Barrens was in turmoil. Countless powers had sent people traveling tens of millions of miles across the void, rushing to Dashang’s borders.

At Dashang’s border, ancient horns sounded, like the rumble of thunder. Mountains and gorges for thousands of miles around trembled.action

Boom!

Warships shattered the void, traversing the vast sky. At the bow of each was a large fluttering flag with the character Chu.

“Those are people from the Dachu Empire!”

On the border, Dashang had stationed a large army year-round, numbering millions, with extraordinary combat strength led by a Duke.

At this moment, the Duke of the Fiery stood fully armored amongst the army, looking up at the sky with a grave expression. At the edge of his vision was a boundless expanse of warships, almost covering the entire void like a vast sea.

Amongst the sea of Dashang flags, he saw one belonging solely to the North Vanquishing King! These three words caused his pupils to contract rapidly, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

In the entire East Barrens, who was most familiar with the North Vanquishing King? Definitely the Dachu Empire!

And the second most familiar would be Dashang! After all, both were hostile forces. If they couldn’t understand each other, Dashang would have no place in the East Barrens.

“I didn’t expect the North Vanquishing King himself to take command this time. Looks like the Dachu Empire is going to war!”

Duke of the Fiery’s mood plummeted to the bottom.

With both hands on his back, he looked back at his rear, where he also had an elite army spread all over the mountains. Logically, he should not panic at all when facing the Dachu forces.

But at this moment, the greatest weakness of Dashang compared to Dachu was revealed – the Dachu Empire had one more Saint Realm powerhouse!

This was the difference in strength that numbers could not make up for. Even if millions of troops formed battle formations, they were no match for a Saint Realm powerhouse.

“Duke,” said a Dashang Marquis standing behind Duke of the Fiery. He looked towards the Dachu forces, then at the Duke, continuing with difficulty, “I just received news that it’s not only the Dachu Empire attacking us. Even the Dasui Empire, Purple Clouds Holy Land, the Wang family… most East Barrens forces want to attack Dashang. They want to…”

Before he could finish, Duke of the Fiery interrupted, “They want to destroy our Dashang?”

“Yes,” the Marquis replied with a nod and switched to telepathy. “Hasn’t Duke heard? I’m afraid Dashang is no longer the same as before!”

In the past, the cooperation between Dashang and the dark creatures was top secret, known only to a few in Dashang.

But now things were different. Not just Dashang, even the whole East Barrens knew. Moreover, this news came from Su Chen. Almost all factions with ties to Su Chen had sent Saint Realm powerhouses, even multiple, rushing to Dashang.

With so many gathered experts, even an imperial race would tremble, let alone Dashang. The hearts of the people were wavering, many already planning how to defect to the side of the righteous.

“Oh?” Duke of the Fiery narrowed his eyes, vaguely sensing something unusual. He sized up the Marquis and said, “So, what are you trying to say?”

“Cough cough,” the Marquis coughed lightly and continued, “I won’t hide it from you, Duke. North Vanquishing King asked me to bring you a message.”

“Oh? What does he have to say?” asked Duke of the Fiery mockingly, raising an eyebrow.

“He said that as long as you lead your army to surrender, you can still be a Duke in the Dachu Empire! Cultivation resources will be much more than now!”

“Is that so?” Hearing this, a look of struggle appeared on Duke of the Fiery’s face.

He had heard about what happened in the Imperial City, in fact, he was one of the first to know. After finding out everything, he felt the fate of Dashang was about to change!

If he continued standing with Dashang, what awaited was eternal damnation. With so many experts gathered, even a peak-stage Saint Realm powerhouse was not enough, let alone him who was a mere Quasi-Saint Realm expert.

Right now, the North Vanquishing King was already charging over. He did not have much time left.

Countless warships floated in the air like clouds, completely covering the sky. With one order from the North Vanquishing King, including him and the millions of troops behind would turn to dust in an instant.

“Then…” Duke of the Fiery struggled internally, quickly weighing the pros and cons.

After a long time, he stopped thinking. He turned and looked at the millions of soldiers behind him, and the direction of Dashang’s imperial city. In his heart, he thought, “I’m sorry, 1 did this all for you. I hope you won’t blame me.”

Soon after, he turned back, his face calm and expressionless..
