Anyang Royal City, known in short as Yin or Ye, had served as the ancient capital of seven dynasties. It was one of the early centers of China Civilization and one of China's eight great ancient capitals, with the towering, treacherous Taihang Mountains to its west and the boundless North China Plain stretching eastward!
At the entrance to the plain, War Dragon Marquis Long Ju, Faith Tiger Marquis Ji Bu, Northern Pacifying King Liu Dai, Empress of Han Wang Yiman, and the other commanders of the Chaoge army watched their troops spread across the land like a rising tide, their faces full of anticipation and excitement!
"Report!"
Just then, a scout hurried over and shouted:
"My lords! Chu Emperor Xiang Yu has appeared outside Anyang Royal City and seems to be waiting in battle formation!"
"Hm?!"
Long Ju, Ji Bu, Wang Yiman, and the others froze, staring at the scout in astonishment. Wang Yiman blurted out, "Didn't Chu Emperor Xiang Yu agree to fight His Majesty at Mount Tai? Why would he appear here? Is it really him?"
"My lady! The Great Huan Office has confirmed that the Chu Emperor broke his agreement and did not attend the Battle of Mount Tai! The Chu Emperor outside Anyang Royal City is almost certainly the man himself!"
The scout had prepared his answer and replied immediately. After a pause, he quickly added, "According to the Great Huan Office's investigation, the army accompanying the Chu Emperor consists of the million-plus surviving Great Chu elite troops deployed to the Mount Tai Mountains. They were transported to Anyang today, which further confirms his identity!"
"The Chu Emperor himself, with over a million Great Chu elites?! It seems the Great Chu Imperial Dynasty really is getting desperate..."
Faith Tiger Marquis Ji Bu sneered and murmured disdainfully.
