Jing Hongchen's pupils contracted. He seemed to have guessed something and asked probing, "Your Majesty, are you planning to use Xingluo City as the breakthrough point and launch a full-scale war against Xingluo?"
"Correct."
Xu Tianyao rose and walked to the map, placing his palm on the western side of the Mingdou Mountain Range.
"The Empire has spent a year preparing. The Soul Engineer Legions, armaments, logistics, and transport routes have all been deployed. Waiting any longer will only give the Three Great Empires more time to reinforce their defenses."
"After the Civilization Sanctioner attacks Xingluo City, the Xingluo empire will certainly redeploy troops to support it."
"When a gap appears in the Western Army Group's defensive line, the Empire's main force will immediately cross the Mingdou Mountain Range and advance into Xingluo territory."
Jing Hongchen stared at the map, his breathing gradually growing heavier. This was not merely a Soul Tool test.
This was the beginning of a full-scale war.
Once the order was issued, the tens of thousands of elite Soul Engineer troops the Sun Moon Empire had deployed along the border would move at once.
The Evil Lord, Terror Claw, Fire Phoenix, and other Soul Engineer Legions would all enter the battlefield as well.
Kong Deming asked in a deep voice, "When does Your Majesty intend to issue the order for the general offensive?"
"Now."
Xu Tianyao turned to Wang Yiheng.
"Convey my orders to the Military Headquarters. All border legions are to enter the highest state of combat readiness. All Soul Engineer Legions are to cancel their rest periods. The Level-Nine Fixed-Mount Soul Tool Projectiles have already been secretly delivered to the front lines."
"Once the Civilization Sanctioner reaches Xingluo City, the border garrisons are to advance immediately. Without my order, they are not to stop."
