Chapter 133 Surprise
"However, just in case, while we were waiting here for the officials sent from the country, you two should proceed to Demon Suppression City immediately..."
Meng Tian pondered for a moment and then spoke.
Zhao Yun and the other man nodded in agreement.
Subsequently, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu prepared their troops and set off immediately for the Demon-Suppressing City.
As they expected, Huo Qubing did indeed have some ideas about the demon race.
At this moment, inside the Demon-Suppressing City.
Huo Qubing summoned Murong Haoxuan over.
"General, are you looking for me?"
Murong Haoxuan bowed to Huo Qubing and said.
"Ok!"
Huo Qubing nodded and said, "General, I have summoned you here today to give you an important task!"
"General, if you say so, I will definitely complete this mission perfectly!"
Upon hearing Huo Qubing's words, Murong Haoxuan's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly patted his chest to assure him.
"it is good!"
"I admire your drive!"
Huo Qubing said with satisfaction.
Hearing Huo Qubing's praise, Murong Haoxuan unconsciously puffed out his chest, feeling very proud.
He knew very well just how capable General Huo was, and it was no easy feat to earn his praise.
"This general plans to lead troops in a surprise attack on the Iron Wolf Dynasty and bring its emperor back as a congratulatory gift to His Majesty..."
To his surprise, Huo Qubing's next words left him completely dumbfounded.
"General... what... what did you say?"
"A surprise attack on the Iron Wolf Dynasty? And they want to bring the Iron Wolf Emperor back as a congratulatory gift to His Majesty?"
Murong Haoxuan wondered if he was just too tired lately, which was why he was having such hallucinations.
To everyone's surprise, Huo Qubing calmly nodded.
"That's right!"
"According to Yuan Jianzheng, our Great Qin Dynasty has the strength to advance to the level of an Imperial Dynasty, but its territory is far from sufficient. I have calculated that the entire territory of our Great Qin Dynasty, plus the Blood Barbarian Dynasty and the Iron Wolf Dynasty, is just enough to meet the requirements for advancing to the level of an Imperial Dynasty..."
Huo Qubing looked at the map on the table, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit, and spoke.
"this......"
Murong Haoxuan still hesitated: "Does His Majesty know about this?"
Huo Qubing shook his head: "As I said, I wanted to give His Majesty a surprise, so I haven't told His Majesty about this yet..."
Murong Haoxuan was speechless. This was hardly a surprise for Ying Chen; it was more like a shock!
"General, I think we should consult His Majesty first! After all, this is no small matter, and we have far too few men—only 100,000. Aside from those left to guard Demon Suppression City, you can take very few with you..."
Murong Haoxuan's face was full of worry. After spending this time together, he had completely gotten used to life here, a life he had never experienced in the Murong family.
He felt that he had completely fallen in love with this place and with this army.
Therefore, he did not want any losses to be suffered by this army.
"My mind is made up, you don't need to try to persuade me anymore..."
Huo Qubing's expression turned cold, and he spoke.
"My mission for you is to guard the Demon-Suppressing City and await the arrival of reinforcements from my Great Qin..."
"this......"
“Here…”
Seeing that he could not dissuade Huo Qubing, Murong Haoxuan had no choice but to agree.
After all, Huo Qubing was the commander-in-chief of the army; he was merely parachuted in to assist Huo Qubing.
Moreover, even if he disagreed, what could he do? This army only listened to Huo Qubing; his words had no effect whatsoever.
Seeing Murong Haoxuan agree, Huo Qubing finally smiled and said, "Don't be so pessimistic! You know the strength of my Great Qin army. Taking down a mere Iron Wolf Dynasty is a piece of cake..."
"Since the general has made his decision, I will not try to persuade him further..."
"How many troops does the general plan to take?"
Murong Haoxuan asked the question that he cared about most.
If he brought too few people, he feared he wouldn't be a match for the Iron Wolf Dynasty; if he brought too many, he worried that the Demon Suppression City might suffer a setback.
Thirty thousand is enough!
Huo Qubing said confidently.
Back then, he dared to venture deep into the grasslands with only 800 elite cavalry; now, leading an army of 30,000 elite troops, taking over the Iron Wolf Dynasty is no problem...
"Thirty thousand?"
"Isn't this too little?"
"I'm worried," Murong Haoxuan said.
"With more people, the target becomes bigger. Now we need to take advantage of the Iron Wolf Dynasty's lack of knowledge about the annihilation of their frontline army and launch a surprise attack..."
"So 30,000 troops are enough..."
Huo Qubing explained to Murong Haoxuan.
If Murong Haoxuan hadn't been sent by Ying Chen, he wouldn't have even bothered to explain.
"That's... okay!"
Seeing Huo Qubing's confidence, Murong Haoxuan was somewhat infected by it and spoke up.
Although I still find it hard to believe that the past could have destroyed the Iron Wolf Dynasty with an army of 30,000.
But what if!
What if he actually does it!
Moreover, he knew the strength of the Qin soldiers.
Among them were quite a few Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation cultivators, and many of them were even stronger than themselves.
A sense of anticipation rose in Murong Haoxuan's heart; he couldn't wait to witness this historic moment.
Without further ado, Huo Qubing led 30,000 elite Imperial Guards into the territory of the Iron Wolf Dynasty that very day.
Murong Haoxuan was left to lead an army of 70,000 to garrison the Demon-Suppressing City.
Three days later.
Iron Wolf Imperial Capital.
Inside the palace hall.
The Iron Wolf Emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking at a report with a grim expression.
Three days ago, an unknown force entered the territory of the Iron Wolf Dynasty and began burning, killing, and looting everywhere.
In just three short days, the Iron Wolf Dynasty had already captured several cities.
And judging from its movement trajectory, it is clearly heading towards the Iron Wolf Imperial Capital.
At first, when the officials below reported to the Iron Wolf Emperor, he didn't take it seriously.
Let each region resolve this on its own.
However, as more and more reports poured into the capital, the Iron Wolf Emperor also sensed that things were not so simple.
He immediately dispatched a high-ranking general to lead a large army to wipe out that force.
But that force came and went without a trace, and there was no way to find them.
Often, they only find out where the army has gone after a city has been captured.
And so, the army of the Sirius Dynasty kept running east and west, without even seeing a trace of that mysterious force.
We can only get some information from the survivors of the breached cities.
