Dust billowed across the land.
Armor clattered.
An army with no end in sight marched down the road.
Autumn rose with a killing chill; frost covered the ground!!!
Wherever the million-strong army passed, birds and beasts scattered, and mountains and rivers trembled!!
No one dared face this formidable army, its blades bared and its killing intent surging!
At the head of the column,

Chong Yingluan spoke with lofty arrogance.

True merit lay in controlling the situation!
Just as he controlled Chong Houhu.
"Young Master Chong..."
"Call me Marshal when we're out here!"
"Marshal,
