" Northern Emperor!"
Upon hearing this, the courtiers were in an uproar, their expressions immediately becoming complicated.
Lin Yi isn't even using the banner of the Prince of Xiliang; he's directly proclaiming himself the Northern Emperor. This guy has such high aspirations! Does he not want to be branded a rebel and is he planning to destroy the entire country?
What nonsense about being revered by all races!
This is no longer a rebellion, but a heinous act of treason and tyranny.
"They are obsequious and subservient to foreign powers..."
However, some soldiers couldn't help but ponder, and upon closer inspection, Xing Daorong's words seemed to make sense; the emperor really was that kind of person.
At that moment, everyone's thoughts changed!
Some ministers weren't a big problem, after all, they were the main players in this, and sacrificing some interests was commonplace for them. But it was a bit unacceptable for ordinary soldiers.
The more I thought about it, the more frustrated I felt!
The army repeatedly tolerated foreign tribes, even sacrificing large amounts of grain and provisions after defeating them, which made the Great Ning army a laughingstock among the people.
Internally, however, they killed people without hesitation. The Prince of Min and the Prince of Shu died under mysterious circumstances, with the reasons given being ridiculously absurd.
Some soldiers couldn't help but glance at their emperor, their eyes filled with confusion. Was their emperor really that kind of person?
Li Anlan was no ordinary person; he immediately noticed the strange looks in the soldiers' eyes, but he was unable to defend himself.
puff!
Overwhelmed with emotion, he felt a metallic taste in his throat and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
He forced himself to sit up and sneered, "So this is the Northern Emperor, so this is the so-called 'revered by all races'? I've never heard of so many races in the All Under Heaven. Just for the sake of rebellion, you really dare to say anything!"
What does it mean to be subservient like a dog to outsiders, yet ruthless and aggressive at home? Did I have a choice?
If Great Ning truly goes all out against the foreign tribes, then Xiliang is probably really getting a great deal right now.
What wrong have I done? Everything was for the greater good!
"Emperor..."
Qin Li glanced at the emperor with concern. Xing Daorong's words were truly vicious. He was afraid that the emperor would not be able to withstand it and would vomit blood and faint again. Every word was a stab to the heart.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly; Great Ning probably wouldn't be able to hold out this time!
The other party clearly came prepared, and even went so far as to blatantly invoke the name of the Northern Emperor.
This is absolutely a brilliant move. If Xiliang were weak, it would be one thing, and the All Under Heaven would just laugh at Lin Yi for overestimating himself. But now that Lin Yi has swept across the north and is unmatched, this reputation is now truly established.
With this title, no one in the All Under Heaven dared to accuse Lin Yi of insubordination, and his uprising became legitimate. This was no longer a rebellion, but a battle for the legitimacy of the two emperors of the North and South, a contest between nations.
The worst part is that this guy is using the pretext of eliminating a tyrannical ruler and saving the people from suffering; he's just too cunning.
Li Anlan waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "It's alright, I won't die. I want to see how Lin Yi, this Northern Emperor, manages to break in!"
He turned to look at Xing Daorong, his eyes filled with a chilling killing intent, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
" Xing Daorong, is it? Go back and tell your lord to let this so-called Northern Emperor take action. I want to see how he plans to conquer Xuanwu City!"
"And you, you'd better go back before I change my mind, or I'll make sure you die a violent death on the spot."
Holy crap!
Upon hearing this, Xing Daorong's heart skipped a beat, and he roared, "You are so cruel and heartless, you will regret it!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran away as the wind picked up!
Hahaha!
Seeing Xing Daorong's performance, Guo Jia and Huang Zhong couldn't help but cover their faces. This guy was so imposing just now, but he suddenly became weak. They were speechless.
Xu Chu couldn't help but spit, and said in a muffled voice, "My lord, I would have been better off going. This incompetent fool is completely useless!"
"Haha, Zhongkang, you're strong in martial arts, but when it comes to talking, you're no match for Xing Daorong. Li Anlan is probably spitting blood right now!" Lin Yi said meaningfully.
He wasn't angry that Xing Daorong ran away; after all, the other party had uttered a harsh threat, which was already Xing Daorong's best performance in putting on a show of force.
Moreover, his earlier remarks were correct; Li Anlan was probably on the defensive.
Xing Daorong rushed back, looking aggrieved, and walked to Lin Yi's side, angrily saying, "My lord, that scoundrel Li Anlan is ignorant of fate and doesn't know what's good for him. He actually refused to surrender! I want to lead the charge and wipe him out!"
Lin Yi glanced at Xing Daorong and said in a deep voice, "General Xing, you performed well this time. I'll give you a chance. You'll be the vanguard this time, a chance to show your prowess."
"Thank you for your kindness, my lord!"
Xing Daorong was stunned for a moment, then ran out eagerly to join his men.
Watching his retreating figure, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh, "It's time to take over the capital. Once Li Anlan's last 300,000 troops are wiped out, he'll be powerless to fight back!"
"Yes, the great cause is just around the corner, and the All Under Heaven will soon belong to our lord!" Guo Jia couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement; the All Under Heaven was truly about to be unified.
Previously, news from the Net) had been circulating that Guan Yu in the south was making rapid progress, not only reaching the outskirts of Jiangling Commandery, but also that the southern chieftains had surrendered to Xiliang.
Once our lord captures the capital, sending a few men south will be enough to conquer the entire All Under Heaven.
Lin Yi glanced in Lü Bu's direction and said in a deep voice, "Inquire with the intelligence agents All Under Heaven. What's the situation on Lü Bu's side?"
"Yes!" Wang Yue nodded and immediately instructed someone to use flag signals to inquire.
We received a response very quickly!
[ Lü Bu has already defeated the enemy and is currently mopping up their remaining forces!]
kindness!
Upon hearing this news, Lin Yi nodded and looked at Guo Jia beside him, smiling, " Fengxiao, send the signal! Deliver the final blow to Great Ning!"
After several days of preparation, the momentum has been built up, and various arrangements have been completed.
Then let's launch a full-scale attack!
Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he picked up the specially made super signal flare.
ignite!
call out!
A plume of fire shot into the sky, soaring high into the heavens, clearly visible even in broad daylight. It exploded as it reached the sky, the sound echoing for miles around.
The next moment, a series of fires and explosions came from afar, filling the entire capital city with the sound!
Signal for the final assault!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"
Knock knock knock!
The war drums instantly resounded across the battlefield, dozens of large drums were struck, and the entire Prince of Xiliang instantly became agitated, with 300,000 troops on the front lines launching an attack.
In an instant, catapults and siege crossbows unleashed their fury, suppressing enemy fire and killing defenders on the city walls.
This sudden attack enveloped the entire Xuanwu Gate, making it feel as if darkness had fallen for them in an instant. It was aimed directly at the Great Ning, causing them to instinctively dodge.
"Kill!"
The Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors charged straight ahead, shields raised, and charged forward.
