Yanzhou.
The Great Plains.
Two armies spread out in formation, their banners flying high. They were none other than Jin and Liang!
This was a battle that would decide the fate of the realm!
"The Liang army has conquered cities and seized territory all the way here. How does it seem they haven't suffered any losses? They've even exceeded thirty thousand?"
A great general beside Wanyan Lie, Wanyan Kan, galloped back on horseback and shouted, "Those southern scouts all deserve to die! How could they even miscount something like this... And those officials who surrendered—they each claimed they'd resist to the death. I'd say they've all surrendered already!"
Yet Wanyan Lie was not surprised.
Ever since Brahman Gate had guided him on a day's journey through the Underworld, he had learned many secrets.
In particular, there was a strong chance the rumors regarding Void Spirit Master's "sorcery" were all true!
'He is an enemy of the world. If I kill him, I'll become the true Son of Destiny! Favored by Heaven's will!'
Wanyan Lie drew a deep breath. A black-and-red mark rested in his hand, concealed and yet to be unleashed.
"Pass down the order. Prepare the cavalry!"
This time, he had gone all out, bringing an army of a hundred thousand. Fifty thousand of them were cavalry!
They were also the most elite troops under his command.
For that very reason, Wanyan Lie had not chosen to defend a city. Instead, he had deliberately chosen the Great Plains as the battlefield.
After all, once cavalry entered a city and dismounted, they were no different from infantry in siege warfare—if anything, they were even worse.
Wanyan Lie would never do something so foolish as tying his own hands and feet.
"Tsk, tsk!"
