The golden goose military flag of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Six-Winged Angel battle flag of the Spirit Hall were intertwined and tumbling in the biting wind.
The earth is trembling.
This is not a march of hundreds or thousands of people, but a torrent of steel formed by the gathering of hundreds of thousands of elite troops.
The heavy sound of horse hooves, the footsteps of the neat infantry phalanx, and the faint Soul Power pressure released by the Soul Master legion converged into a terrifying sound that could change the color of the world.
The army left the customs and headed south.
The coalition forces that were showing overwhelming power in the north a few days ago have now completed an astonishing strategic turn, like two peerless sharp blades brought together, pointing directly at the Douluo Continent, the overlord of the south - Star Luo Empire.
In the main formation of the Chinese army, a huge chariot pulled by eight high-grade Soul Beast Yalong horses drove smoothly on the official road. Around the chariot, Spirit Hall's most elite Temple Knight regiments and Heaven Dou Empire's Royal Knights mixed escorts were guarded, heavily armored and heavily guarded.
Qian Renyuan is sitting on the large throne in the center of the chariot. Although he is only eleven years old, the pressure of a superior person emanating from his bones makes all the adult generals around him even breathe carefully.
He was wearing a dark golden slim-fitting robe, and his eyes were calmly staring at the south.
"Report--!"
A scout on horseback galloped from the front. He suddenly reined in his horse dozens of steps in front of the chariot, turned over and knelt on one knee, with a clean and neat movement.
"Report His Highness the Holy Son! Thirty miles ahead, we encounter the Star Luo Empire envoy! The other party is holding a white flag, claiming to be the special envoy of Star Luo Emperor, and requesting an audience with His Highness!" The scout reported loudly, and his voice was clearly transmitted into the chariot under the influence of Soul Power.
Qian Renyuan raised his eyes slightly, without any wavering in his eyes.
Hu Liena, who was sitting on his right, heard this and raised a mocking sneer at the corner of his mouth.
She was wearing a dark red outfit today, which perfectly outlined her beautiful figure, with a dangerous light flashing in her narrow beautiful eyes. "Star Luo Emperor's special envoy? The reply that the deputy envoy brought back a few days ago did not seem to wake them up. Now that the army is approaching, they know they are afraid, and they send someone to beg for mercy?"
Zhu Zhuqing, who was sitting on the left, said nothing.
She was born in the Star Luo Empire's top noble family Nether Duke's Mansion, and was once the designated candidate for crown princess by the Star Luo Imperial Family.
But at this moment, when she heard the words Star Luo Emperor, her eyes were as cold as ice, without any trace of love for her motherland.
Everything about her already belonged to the boy in front of her. To her, Star Luo Empire was just an old dream full of betrayal.
"Bring it here." Qian Renyuan spat out three words calmly.
The scout followed the order and left. Not long after, a group of more than a dozen Star Luo Empire envoys were escorted to the chariot by the Spirit Hall knights.
The leader was an old man wearing Star Luo Empire court uniform. He had a Soul Emperor level of cultivation and was considered to be a high-ranking official in the Star Luo Empire court.
But at this moment, this Star Luo Empire minister, who was usually aloof and aloof, looked as pale as paper, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
When he raised his head and saw the expressionless Qian Renyuan on the chariot, as well as the boundless and murderous coalition forces around him, his legs weakened and he fell to his knees involuntarily.
"Xing, Star Luo Empire special envoy, please refer to the Spirit Hall His Highness the Holy Son..." The old man's voice was trembling that could not be concealed.
The accompanying officials behind him were trembling even more, not even daring to raise their heads. The Star Luo Empire military power they were so proud of was like paper in front of this terrifying coalition force that had just torn apart the northern defense line.
Qian Renyuan looked at him condescendingly, and the air seemed to freeze.
The old man only felt an invisible mountain pressing on his back. He swallowed, suppressed the fear in his heart, and tremblingly took out a bright yellow scroll from his arms and raised it high above his head.
"Your Highness... This is the letter of credence written by His Majesty our country. His Majesty said that some of the previous frictions on the border were all caused by his generals making independent decisions. Star Luo Empire is willing to forever be friends with the Spirit Hall and Heaven Dou Empire. Your Majesty. I am willing to cede three northern provinces, pay tens of millions Gold Soul Coin in compensation, and... also be willing to send Star Luo Imperial Family the most beautiful princess to appease His Highness's anger. I just ask... I just ask that the coalition forces stop moving south, and the two sides turn their hostility into friendship."
The old man finished stating the conditions in one breath, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
cession of land, compensation, and marriage.
For the Star Luo Empire, who has always been known for his iron-blooded toughness, this is a great shame and humiliation that has never happened since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is a real kneeling down to sue for peace. In their view, such conditions are enough to satisfy any greedy appetite.
After hearing this, Hu Liena couldn't help laughing out loud, and the laughter was full of disdain. "Cede three provinces? Tens of millions Gold Soul Coin? Have you Star Luo Emperor stayed in the palace for so long that your brains are no longer clear? When our army crushes Star Luo City, the entire Star Luo Empire belongs to us, why do we need you to cede it?"
The old man's face turned blue and white, but he did not dare to refute Hu Liena. He could only look at Qian Renyuan imploringly. "Your Highness, Star Luo Empire has a million-dollar armor and a profound background. If it really comes to the point of death, the coalition forces will probably suffer heavy losses. This... This is a matter of mutual benefit!"
"The fish is dead and the net is broken?" Qian Renyuan finally spoke.
"Are you worthy of making that net?"
Qian Renyuan leaned forward slightly, as if there were flames beating in his deep eyes. "I gave you a chance. Since you missed that time, there is no need to talk about it anymore."
The old man was horrified. "Your Highness! Are you going to kill all Star Luo Empire? Our Majesty has shown the greatest sincerity..."
"Sincerity?" Qian Renyuan interrupted him coldly, "I have only one tone, and that is unconditional surrender. Except for Star Luo Emperor who tied his arms and knelt in front of my chariot to offer the jade seal, I will not accept any form of peace. As for your conditions, they are worthless."
"You -" the old man suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of shock and despair. He did not expect that the eleven-year-old boy in front of him had such an appetite that he wanted to swallow the whole Star Luo Empire in one go, without even leaving any room for negotiation.
"If you don't accept unconditional surrender, then you will welcome destruction." Qian Renyuan sat back on the throne, his eyes becoming calm again, as if he had just sentenced a group of ants to death.
"Your Highness! Star Luo Empire An army of millions will never sit still and wait for death! You are pushing the continent into the abyss!" Seeing that there was no hope for peace, the old man's bloody Star Luo Empire was forced out of his bones, and he roared hysterically.
Qian Renyuan didn't even look at him again, just waved slightly.
Several Temple Knight standing next to the chariot pulled out the heavy swords at their waists in an instant.
"Tsk--"
Blood splatters.
The old man's head rolled to the ground, with an expression of anger and fear still on his face.
Before the remaining dozen members of the Star Luo Empire mission could scream in agony, they were chopped down to the ground by the swarming knights.
The strong smell of blood dispersed in the wind, but it did not affect the march of the army at all. Instead, it made the surrounding taxi soldiers look even more fanatical.
"Send the order to the whole army." Qian Renyuan's voice, stirred by Soul Power, spread throughout the Chinese army formation.
"Accelerate the advance. Anyone who dares to block the coalition's front will be killed without mercy."
"Yes!"
The deafening response soared into the sky.
Without the obstruction of the mission, the coalition's advance speed increased again. The huge military formation was like a precise war machine, ruthlessly crushing all obstacles in front.
The vegetation on the ground began to change. The relatively mild greenery of the Heaven Dou Empire gradually faded, and was replaced by the unique dark red soil of the Star Luo Empire border, as if soaked with countless blood.
The strong wind roared, stirring up red dust all over the sky.
At the same moment, the Heaven Dou battle flag and the Spirit Hall battle flag crossed the huge boundary monument symbolizing the border between the two countries. The heavy chariot wheels ruthlessly ran over the boundary monument, crushing it into rubble on the ground.
Qian Renyuan stood on the chariot, his eyes piercing through the wind and sand in the sky.
At the end of his field of vision, at the junction of the horizon, there was a huge pass made of black and gray boulders, crawling between heaven and earth like a sleeping giant.
That was the first border gate of the Star Luo Empire.
The coalition forces have arrived at the city gate.
