"If you die, more people will live. Your people injured our Emperor that day, let's settle this deep-seated hatred here today!" Qin Mu's eyes were solemn as he silently blocked Blackham's path, forming an encirclement with Zhao Qirui.

Prince Qin Mu of Yan knew that Emperor Zhaowu's hatred for the orcs stemmed from his only defeat in his life. For some reason, the orcs knew his whereabouts in advance and ambushed Emperor Zhaowu, who was still the crown prince at the time. His guards and followers were all wiped out, leaving only himself alive. Those orcs were Blackham's men.

Just as Qin Mu was about to make a move, he sensed a powerful aura rolling in from above the North Sea. Releasing such an aura from a great distance was clearly a declaration of his stance: "I'm not here to be a bystander; I'm here to fight."

Without further hesitation, Qin Mu crossed his arms and drew the long sword that had been hanging on his back. The sword was named "Haoguang." With a slight sway of the blade, a streak of light flashed and slashed toward Blackham.

Blackhammer in his hand was no ordinary weapon either; the Doomhammer was known to all orcs. Together with Zhao Qirui's Dragon Spear, the three of them suddenly clashed. The dazzling light was blinding, and the constant thunderclaps made the earth tremble slightly.

Qin Yumu had no time to observe this rare battle scene. He was ordering the cannons to fire in batches into the breach in the city wall, destroying all obstacles that were hindering the army's charge.

In the past, Zhao Qirui had opened a breach in the walls of Ulan-Ude during battles, but the breach was random and uncontrollable. The Great Xia army did not have time to assemble, and the orcs blocked the breach with their elite troops, preventing the Great Xia army from penetrating deeper. This time, Qin Yumu planned to use cannons to open up several miles of open space, so that the Great Xia army's formation warfare tactics could be more effective.

“Urex…heart…”

Blackham, who had been fighting fiercely, suddenly felt the pressure ease considerably. Zhao Qirui had abandoned him and charged towards King Ulex, instantly closing in on him to a dangerous distance. King Qin Mu of Yan was locked in a fierce battle with him, and Blackham, unable to break free, could only shout a warning.

Ulex was used to finding the weaknesses of his enemies and then bullying them. He usually either ambushed the powerful people of the Great Xia or crushed the cultivators below the Profound Realm. But today, he was really annoyed by being entangled by six Profound Realm cultivators. He had repeatedly used his killer moves but only managed to injure two of them. He was already considering retreating after failing to break through. After hearing Blackham's warning, he didn't even look at him and turned to leave.

But the difference between a Realm Master and a Great King is like the difference between a Great King and a Profound Realm Master; it's no longer something that can be resisted or countered with experience and tactics. A jet-black spear appeared out of thin air in front of his chest. Ulex decisively burned his life force, increasing his strength several times over, and swung his weapon at the spear.

Ulex's heart suddenly stopped beating. The powerful earth energy pressed down on him, freezing his body. He finally began to regret his rash decision to rush out and fight, and why he had stopped pretending to be asleep in the city.

The black spear pierced his heart. With a slight thought, Zhao Qirui caused Ulex's chest cavity to explode. This orc "hero" whom Zhao Qirui hated so much finally came to the end of his life.

As he lay dying, his eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at Blackham, as if questioning why he hadn't held back this Great Xia general.

"Knock knock knock..."

The war drums finally sounded, and countless Great Xia soldiers began to line up in front of the breach in the city wall, then slowly advanced. Meanwhile, the Shenji Battalion's cannons raised their firing angles, firing over their heads and striking the heavily armored soldiers in front of them, destroying a barrier in their path.
