"Very well, just as Brother Ran Min said!"
Guan Yu nodded upon hearing this; at this point, it was the only thing he could do.
After all, these guys are still somewhat useful. It would be a waste to kill them like this; it's better to use them as laborers.
While we are fighting on the front lines, we need a base behind us to not only replenish food supplies but also to resupply weapons and equipment. This is very important.
After some thought, he decided to leave one of his trusted confidants behind to guard them and oversee the construction of their base.
Only after he had done all this did he catch up with them.
The army marched north, catching the Moses Empire completely off guard and causing several cities to fall in an instant. The army showed no sign of stopping, instead launching attacks from all sides.
The four armies, led by Ran Min, Guo Xin, Guan Yu, and Lü Bu respectively, marched straight towards various parts of the Moses Empire.
Their army consisted entirely of elite troops, and each individual possessed formidable combat prowess. They breached all four gates in an instant, causing the entire Moses Empire to tremble in fear.
Many places surrendered without a second thought and submitted to the Great Liang Empire.
Soon, news of the Great Liang Empire's attack on the Moses Empire's homeland reached Kunsi City, the capital of the Moses Empire, instantly causing an uproar throughout the city.
They were the kings of this land, and now they've been invaded on their own soil—this is an absolute disgrace.
Many young people took to the streets and began large-scale demonstrations. They wanted to participate in the war to drive the enemy away completely, and even fight to the opposite side of the Great Liang Empire to vent their hatred.
Those who were even more furious than them were naturally Emperor Moshili Chaer and several elders.
Their faces were extremely grim. They hadn't expected the Great Liang Empire's attack to be so swift, reaching directly into the heart of the Moses Empire's territory—something they hadn't anticipated at all.
Emperor Char's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "How is this possible? We still have five or six hundred thousand troops ahead of us. How could they have attacked us directly? Have all those colonies fallen? Why hasn't any news come back?"
He has sent out hundreds of thousands of troops one after another, yet there has been no feedback whatsoever. This is highly suspicious.
He felt uneasy. If these armies were all wiped out at sea, his current strength would be somewhat weakened, which would affect the future battle situation.
It's all that damned Lin Yi's fault. Not only did he send people to sabotage his own colony, he also sent people to blow off three of his fingers.
After we get through this ordeal, we must make sure he dies a horrible death.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid all of these people have already met with misfortune. The Great Liang Empire's will to fight this time is more resolute than we imagined," an elder said with a bitter expression.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, because they all knew that what he said was very likely something that had already happened.
However, if the troops at the front are all wiped out, the empire will have lost 500,000 to 600,000 troops for nothing. Adding the troops stationed in the colonies themselves, the empire will have lost nearly a million troops.
The losses are enormous, even exceeding the losses from previous unified operations; it's truly terrifying.
Chief Elder Amu's expression was also grim, though he regained some composure. He said in a deep voice, "The enemy is coming with overwhelming force. To withstand their attack, we must deploy our elite troops. Otherwise, we will be defeated one by one, which is absolutely unacceptable."
He knew perfectly well that the fact that the other side had sent so few people to attack meant that they were absolutely confident that he wouldn't be left behind; in other words, these people were definitely the elite of the elite.
If we underestimate them and only send some ordinary troops to resist, we will probably suffer a great loss.
"That makes sense!"
Emperor Char nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and said, "The enemy is coming with great force, they must have something to rely on. This time we must not only send our elite troops to attack them, but also completely crush them."
We not only have to win, but we have to win conspicuously, otherwise it will be very detrimental to our situation.
Like the Great Liang Empire, the Moses Empire was a newly established and vast empire. Such empires would have great overall strength, but they would also face a problem: local instability.
A strong intervention could very likely trigger a chain reaction in other parts of the Moses Empire.
The consequences of such a situation would be extremely serious, potentially leading to the collapse of the entire country and a return to the fragmented state of the past, which would be disastrous.
This is something he absolutely cannot allow to see, and something he cannot allow to happen.
He glanced at the intelligence chief Ashan, and said in a deep voice, " Ashan, your intelligence department has been monitoring various regions, but do you know how many troops the enemy has deployed?"
Furthermore, please describe the enemy's overall strength and identify their commanding generals.
The Moses Empire actually has a lot of intelligence on the Great Liang Empire. After all, the Great Liang Empire is so high-profile in the Central Continent that anyone who isn't deaf can hear their news.
One can gauge a general's strength simply by observing the generals leading these armies, as the Great Liang Empire possessed numerous powerful armies, each with its own permanent commanders.
Upon hearing this, Ashan's face stiffened, and he said bitterly, "This time, the army that attacked my Moses Empire's homeland numbered nearly 500,000. The opposing forces were Ran Min the Qihuo Army of Great Liang, General Guan Yu, the peerless general Lü Bu, and the last general Guo Xin, whom I am not familiar with."
The enemy's offensive force was extremely strong; their advance was almost unimpeded, leaving the enemy defenseless.
Ran Min, the Qihuo Army!
General Guan Yu!
The peerless general Lü Bu!
Upon hearing these three names, Emperor Cha'er's expression turned grim, for these three individuals were all renowned figures in the Great Liang Empire, and all were extremely powerful and formidable generals.
The last one is Guo Xin. Although I don't know his name, he can only keep up with the others, so he's probably not someone to be trifled with.
He said with a dark face, "You, Lin Yi, do you really think you can destroy my Great Moses Empire with so few people?"
With these generals deployed, the enemy's army must be the elite of the elite.
Chaer was somewhat angry. Did Lin Yi think he was so arrogant that he planned to wipe him out with so few men? That was a gross underestimation of him and a disregard for the Moses Empire.
Even if your group is incredibly strong, can't they fly to the sky?
"Your Majesty, since these people are the enemy's elite, this is also the best opportunity for us to wipe them out!" At this moment, a general's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
