Chapter 189: Successive Shocks

Chapter 189: Successive Shocks

The news that the Fate Kingdom had sent troops to the Shuiling Kingdom was received by several other kingdoms and the Dragon Shadow Empire.

Several other kingdoms had received letters from the Dragon Shadow Empire before. The Eurasian Kingdom and the Saisi Kingdom were not as completely unconvinced as the Shuiling Kingdom, but they were not completely on guard either.

They were in a state of half-belief and half-doubt. They all knew that the Fate Kingdom had great ambitions, but they also felt that the Fate Kingdom's ambitions were not so great as to unify the entire continent.

But the events of the Shuiling Kingdom made them realize that the Fit Kingdom really had the ambition to unify the continent, and they didn't even know how many years they had been preparing for it.

The Eurasian Kingdom and the Sisi Kingdom did not want their kingdoms to become the second Shuiling Kingdom, so they immediately strengthened their border troops.

They even sent out the country's most capable military commanders, for fear that the Fit Kingdom would launch a surprise attack on them.

It can be said that the Dragon Shadow Empire was the first to know that the Fate Kingdom was going to send troops against the Shuiling Kingdom.

They had received the news even before the Fate army arrived at the Shuiling Kingdom.

There is no way. Ever since they discovered the ambition of the Fit Kingdom, they have been sending people to keep an eye on the Fit Kingdom.

As soon as there was any movement in the Fate Kingdom, Xuanyuan Hongtai received the news.

After receiving the news, Xuanyuan Hongtai pondered for a while and did not pass the news to the Shuiling Kingdom, but suppressed the letter.

It’s not that Xuanyuan Hongtai deliberately let the Shuiling Kingdom suffer heavy losses because the Shuiling Kingdom didn’t believe him.

But unless the flesh is cut, they will never feel pain.

Similarly, if they were not forced to their doorstep, several kingdoms would be optimistic and think that the Fate Kingdom would not send troops against them.

Only by completely shattering their luck will the other kingdoms choose to cooperate with the Dragon Shadow Empire.

"Xuan Zhou said you've been a lot quieter lately. Are you feeling unwell?"

When Nangong Jing and Feng Xuanzhou were chatting, Feng Xuanzhou inadvertently mentioned that Zhuo Yunsheng had been very quiet recently, even a little too quiet.

Therefore, Nangong Jing was a little worried, so he came to the Imperial Capital College to visit Zhuo Yunsheng.

Zhuo Yunsheng looked at the worry in Nangong Jing's eyes and sighed.

"I'm not feeling unwell. I just received news that the Fit Kingdom attacked the Shuiling Kingdom."

Nangong Jing was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect that Zhuo Yunsheng suddenly became quiet because of this incident.

"Before, I was a little confused as to why Master had hinted to me, both explicitly and implicitly, that I should go out and gain experience, and that he had told me to stay out for a few more years and not return. Now that I think about it, Master had long been aware of the King's ambitions, and that's why he wanted me to avoid this war."

Zhuo Yunsheng walked to the window and looked into the distance, with a hint of sadness and a little worry in his eyes.

"What do you think?"

Nangong Jing followed him to the window, but did not look at Zhuo Yunsheng, and instead also looked up at the sky.

"Though I love war, I don't enjoy it. My master is the same as me. Although I'm a Fit, I don't agree with the king's ambitions. I don't worry about anything else, just that my master can't avoid it."

Although Zhuo Yunsheng and Feng Qingfei are both from Fit, they are different.

Although Zhuo Yunsheng is Feng Qingfei's apprentice, he has no family background. If he had not become Feng Qingfei's apprentice, perhaps few people would know him.

So after Zhuo Yunsheng goes out for training, as long as he doesn't go back by himself, this war will have nothing to do with him.

But Feng Qingfei is different. The Feng family that Feng Qingfei belongs to is also considered a wealthy family in the Fate Kingdom.

What's more, there is Feng Qingfei, the first person in the continent who transformed light magic from healing magic into combat magic.

The most important thing is that when Feng Qingfei became famous, the previous King Fite gave him a title. Even if it was only a nominal title, it was still under the jurisdiction of the kingdom.

In other words, if King Fite gave the order, Feng Qingfei had to join the war even if he was unwilling.

Nangong Jing had no way to answer Zhuo Yunsheng's concerns.

Because Feng Qingfei has a special identity, not to mention Nangong Jing, even Xuanyuan Xingyao can't get him out.

Moreover, even if Feng Qingfei could be brought out, Feng Qingfei might not be willing to do so. Don't forget that the Feng family is still there.

Unless King Fite gives up on letting Feng Qingfei participate in the war, but is that possible? Even for Feng Qingfei's gimmick, King Fite will never let Feng Qingfei go.

"If your master really joins the war, we will capture him and then announce to the public that he is under house arrest, so that he won't have to get involved."

Nangong Jing thought for a moment and said jokingly.

Nangong Jing was joking, but Zhuo Yunsheng took it to heart and even his eyes lit up.

Nangong Jing panicked when he saw Zhuo Yunsheng's thoughtful look.

"I was just kidding."

"I'm not kidding. I really think this is a good idea. My master once told me that Fate's ambitions haven't been going on for a day or two. He's been secretly preparing for years. The king must have made every possible preparation to attack the Shuiling Kingdom this time. This war will definitely not stop anytime soon."

Xuanyuan Xingyao had not originally intended to speak, but after hearing Zhuo Yunsheng's words, he showed a thoughtful expression.

"Yunsheng, do you know something?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Yunsheng glanced at Xuanyuan Xingyao before replying.

"I don't know much, but I heard from my master before that several kings of Fit have been secretly training soldiers. And they are not ordinary soldiers, but soldiers with cultivation talents."

Xuanyuan Xingyao frowned slightly when he heard this. Although not everyone in the Dragon Shadow Continent can practice cultivation, almost all the royal and royal children have the talent for cultivation.

Those who can become the successor, not to mention having excellent cultivation talent, can at least stay on the throne for seventy or eighty years.

There were some who were kings for more than a hundred years.

Zhuo Yunsheng is now talking about several kings, which means that at least a few hundred years ago, Fate started secretly training troops.

Over the past few hundred years, even though talented people are hard to find, the number of this army is still not small.

The most important thing is that those with talent are no different from ordinary soldiers. If they have good talent in cultivation, they can live for hundreds of years without any problem.

If there really is someone who has lived for hundreds of years in the team that Fate is secretly training, then his cultivation must be at least at the king level.

It would be fine if there weren't many people, but if there were a lot of them, Xuanyuan Xingyao would feel horrified just thinking about it.

"I'll go to the palace right away. You can go back to the palace first."

Xuanyuan Xingyao gave Zhuo Yunsheng a look of gratitude, and then gave Nangong Jing some instructions.

After giving the instructions, without waiting for Nangong Jing to speak, he hurriedly left the Imperial Capital Academy and went to the palace to meet Xuanyuan Hongtai.

Xuanyuan Hongtai was also discussing the battle between Fate and Shui Ling with Xuanyuan Leng at this time. When they heard Xuanyuan Xingyao asking for a meeting, they were both a little surprised.

Xuanyuan Xingyao really has no ambition. Apart from attending court, he would only go to the palace when there was something going on or when someone summoned him.

Although Xuanyuan Hongtai was puzzled as to why Xuanyuan Xingyao came, he still called Xuanyuan Xingyao in as soon as possible.

After Xuanyuan Xingyao entered the imperial study, he immediately knelt on one knee and bowed deeply to Xuanyuan Hongtai and Xuanyuan Leng.

"Stand up, someone bring Yao'er a chair."

Xuanyuan Hongtai asked Xuanyuan Xingyao to stand up almost the next second after he finished his ceremony, and even asked someone to bring him a chair to sit down. His love for him was beyond words.

Xuanyuan Xingyao nodded to Xuanyuan Hongtai in thanks, then sat down.

After sitting down, Xuanyuan Xingyao told Xuanyuan Hongtai the news that Gang Zhuo Yunsheng had said without Xuanyuan Hongtai asking.

After hearing the news brought by Xuanyuan Xingyao, Xuanyuan Hongtai and Xuanyuan Leng both showed shocked expressions, and Xuanyuan Leng was so shocked that he stood up.

"Seventh brother, you are not kidding us, right?!"

Xuanyuan Leng really wanted to hear from Xuanyuan Xingyao that he was joking with them, but...

Xuanyuan Xingyao did not answer Xuanyuan Leng's words, but just looked up at him seriously, the meaning was very clear.

Xuanyuan Leng had completely given up hope. In fact, he also knew that Xuanyuan Xingyao was not the kind of person who would joke, especially about such a serious matter.

"Even if a few kings could only find one or two qualified people each year, over a few hundred years, even if most of them were lost, they would still be able to develop a considerable team."

Xuanyuan Leng said seriously.

If Xuanyuan Leng can think of it, how could Xuanyuan Hongtai not think of it?

Xuanyuan Hongtai had always believed that their Dragon Shadow Empire had always been firmly at the top of the continent, but now they discovered that the Dragon Shadow Empire's control over the continent was not as strong as they had imagined.

"Your Majesty, the latest news is that the Shuiling Kingdom has lost two cities."

Just when Xuanyuan Hongtai and the other two fell into silence, a man in black suddenly appeared in the imperial study, knelt on one knee and reported in a very serious expression.

The two people, who had not yet recovered from the shock brought by Xuanyuan Xingyao, were shocked again.

And this time, even Xuanyuan Xingyao quickly dilated his pupils.

It can be seen how shocking the news brought by the man in black is.

"The Shuiling Kingdom had already lost three cities before, and with the two most recent ones, a total of five cities have been lost."

Xuanyuan Leng frowned and said in a deep voice.

"I remember that Shuiling sent 50,000 troops to support us, and they also sent Mao Deyi to lead them. I have also heard about Mao Deyi's ability to lead troops. How could they lose two cities so quickly?"

Xuanyuan Hongtai questioned the man in black coldly.

"We should have lost three of them, but it was General Mao who arrived with 50,000 troops that saved Lingyang City."

The man in black kept his head down from beginning to end and did not dare to raise it.

Therefore, he did not know how much shock his reply had brought to Xuanyuan Hongtai and others.

"How long did it take Mao Deyi and his 50,000-man army to reach the battlefield?"

Xuanyuan Hongtai didn't say anything immediately, but suddenly asked how long it took the army led by Mao Deyi to reach the battlefield.

"It only took ten days."

The capital of Shuiling Kingdom was at least half a month's journey from the border, yet Mao Deyi and his 50,000-strong army arrived in just ten days, which showed they had almost no rest.

"Ten days! It only took Fate ten days to capture two more cities."

Xuanyuan Hongtai rubbed his forehead and muttered to himself with a headache.

"Is there anything unusual about the Fate army???"

Xuanyuan Leng was a little puzzled. Was the Fate army really that powerful? In just over twenty days, they had captured five cities in the Shuiling Kingdom.

"Fate's army is very coordinated."

The man in black was silent for a while before answering Xuanyuan Leng's question.

The answer from the man in black made Xuanyuan Hongtai and the other two fall into deep thought.
