The highest point of Great Jade Mountain!
A pair of eyes were fixed on the direction of Lin Yi's army; it was Tuoba Qingsong, the third prince of the Northern Barbarians. At this moment, his eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent, and his fierce aura made everyone around him afraid to approach.
Even the second prince Tuoba Qingshan, couldn't stand it anymore and frowned, saying, "Third brother, the current situation is not something you can decide. Why are you so angry? With Father Emperor in charge, Lin Yi can't cause any trouble."
He thought his younger brother was upset because of those tribes, so he quickly comforted him.
Forehead!
Upon hearing his brother's words, a flicker of emotion flashed in Tuoba Qingsong's eyes, but he did not reply immediately.
His second brother was an honest man, without many ulterior motives, and had never truly witnessed Lin Yi's abilities, so he naturally did not know how terrifying Lin Yi was.
This guy is clearly a devil. Not only did he destroy the two major passes ahead, but he also swept through the surrounding tribes and took all the territory into his hands.
Now this fellow is making a major advance into the Great Jade Mountain; he clearly intends to wipe out the Northern Barbarians in one fell swoop. This is different from the situation before.
Especially in the battle of Great Jade Mountain, his side had no way out. If they lost, they would inevitably be slaughtered by Northern Liang and Xiliang. But for Lin Yi, he still had Northern Liang's army that he hadn't used. Even if he lost, the Northern Barbarians wouldn't benefit.
At this moment, Tuoba Qingsong couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, "How can there be someone like Lin Yi in this world? This guy is just too unreasonable. Is this the legendary soaring to the heavens?"
The rise of Xiliang was too fast, so fast that the Northern Barbarians couldn't even react. It became a behemoth in no time. This is simply an extraordinary phenomenon.
"This man is truly remarkable. He didn't even need to use the forces of Northern Liang. He managed to reach Great Jade Mountain with only the people of Xiliang. He truly deserves to be called a king!" Tuoba Qingshan nodded in agreement upon hearing his younger brother's exclamation.
He might disagree with others, but he couldn't help but disagree with this younger generation.
In a word, it's strong!
Hearing the brothers' words, the other minor princes nearby frowned. Their third prince was overestimating Lin Yi. He was merely the son of Lin Rusong, the Prince of Northern Liang; how could he possibly defy the heavens?
"Third Prince, even his father, the Prince of Northern Liang, can't do anything to my Northern Barbarians. So what if Lin Yi rises to the top? My Northern Barbarians are not someone he can bully."
"That makes sense. Lin Yi only managed to get in through a sneak attack, and now he wants to fight us head-on? He's practically courting death!"
"This is the Northern Barbarians, our territory!"
"That's right, we have a steady stream of men, but he'll be worn down and killed. We're sure to win this battle!"
These people retorted indignantly, arguing that Lin Yi might have some skills, but that wasn't at a heaven-defying level, and it was impossible for him to wipe out the Northern Barbarians.
Over the years, we've seen many formidable figures, but no one has yet been born who can completely subdue the Northern Barbarians.
Forehead!
Hearing their words, Tuoba Qingsong couldn't help but twitch his lips. These guys were still stuck in the glory of the past, but times have changed.
Lin Yi himself brought out an army of 500,000, while his father had another 300,000 to 400,000.
Don't you have any idea what this means?
He shook his head and said in a deep voice, "According to the intelligence from the Heavenly Eagle Guard, Lin Yi's army numbers nearly 500,000, and they have all entered the area of Great Jade Mountain. I don't need to tell you what his purpose is!"
"This..." Xiao Mingwang, who was just indignant, suddenly fell silent.
What else could 500,000 troops possibly do when they storm into Great Jade Mountain? Lin Yi clearly intends to conquer Great Jade Mountain and then attack Yulong City.
Tuoba Qingshan couldn't help but frown and said in a deep voice, "Has Lin Yi gone mad? It's true that he has 500,000 troops, but we also have nearly 500,000 troops, and reinforcements are constantly arriving. What makes him so arrogant?"
Besides, Li Anlan will probably take action behind his back. Isn't he afraid of being betrayed by Li Anlan?
Their blatant advance clearly indicates they intend to engage the Northern Barbarians in a fierce battle. However, something is amiss; they are far too confident. Have they not considered the possibility of defeat?
If his 500,000 troops are wiped out by the Northern Barbarians, Li Anlan will probably take the opportunity to annex his and his son's territory. This guy is really too confident.
"I want to know the answer to that question too!"
Just then, a gloomy voice rang out behind them, instantly rousing everyone to their senses, and they quickly bowed respectfully.
The newcomer was none other than Tuoba Wanli, the king of the Northern Barbarians, with his strategist Ashina Dubi behind him.
"Wow, the King himself has come to oversee things! Lin Yi is doomed!"
"Even the strategist has come. The two of them together once massacred the Northern Liang, and now that they've joined forces again, they can certainly take the head of the Prince of Xiliang."
" Northern Barbarians! Invincible in the world!"
The arrival of the two together immediately boosted the morale of the entire Great Jade Mountain, and they couldn't help but cheer, as if they had found a pillar of support.
With their king and strategist present, victory is assured.
Even Tuoba Qingsong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When he first heard that his father was transferring assets, he thought his father wouldn't come, but he didn't expect him to come after all.
It's just that my eldest brother didn't come; it seems my father has already sent him away.
Tuoba Wanli glanced at the crowd, then at the Xiliang Army in the distance, and couldn't help but sneer, "What a brat, Lin Yi! He's so arrogant, daring to challenge me Tuoba Wanli, to a fight on the grasslands! He's simply courting death!"
The enemy's massive advance clearly indicates their intention to conquer Great Jade Mountain and then take over the entire Northern Barbarians; their ambition is simply too great.
Even his father wouldn't dare to think like that, so why does this guy have the nerve?
" Lin Yi's army has been displaying its might at the front, wiping out a large number of our Northern Barbarians tribes and eliminating our manpower. However, his rear is also unstable. We have received news that Li Anlan's 500,000-strong army is attacking Xiliang from both sides. That kid won't be able to hold out for long!"
Ashina Dubi, seeing the other party's undisguised demeanor, remained calm and rationally analyzed the situation.
" Li Anlan's 500,000-strong army launches a pincer attack on Xiliang?"
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Qingsong's pupils constricted, followed by ecstatic joy; this was truly good news.
With these 500,000 troops launching a surprise attack on Lin Yi's stronghold from the rear, Lin Yi will likely have to return to Xiliang to reinforce it soon, otherwise his stronghold will be in danger.
But once he returns to Xiliang, the situation will instantly reverse!
He couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "This is fantastic! That old bastard Li Anlan has been too afraid to make a move against Lin Yi and his son, but once he does, there's no turning back!"
