"Rest assured."
"I won't leave the array to bear the assault alone."
His gaze swept over the Six Great Emperors below the walls.
Finally, it settled on Great Emperor Arrogance.
Today's main attacker would undoubtedly be Arrogance.
He was the strongest, and also the hardest to deal with.
It seemed...
He would have no choice but to clash with him head-on today.
Su Ming drew a deep breath, suppressing the lingering weakness in his body.
Now that the moment had come, there was no retreat.
He could only conserve his strength as much as possible.
He had to survive this all-out assault with the least possible expenditure.
"Su Ming—"
Great Emperor Arrogance's voice slowly rang out.
Despite the several miles between them, it reached every person atop the walls clearly.
"Burning my blood offerings in last night's sneak attack was quite a clever trick."
"But crooked paths and underhanded tricks will never belong on the grand stage."
"Today, I will personally raze this base of yours."
"I'll give you one last chance."
"Open the gates, surrender, and hand over the power of Ruins."
"I can spare everyone under your command."
His voice rolled outward, carrying the oppressive might of a Great Emperor.
Many cultivators whose resolve was weak instinctively began to waver.
Su Ming remained calm. He channeled his spiritual power, and his voice likewise carried across the battlefield.
"If you want to attack, get on with it."
"All that bluster only makes you sound afraid."
The remark was mild and casual, yet it left Great Emperor Arrogance choking on his words, his expression darkening.
"Good. Very good."
Great Emperor Arrogance laughed in fury.
"Since you have no idea what's good for you..."
"Don't blame me for showing no mercy."
He swept his hand sharply.
"All troops, heed my command!"
