The Khan's face was contorted with rage due to extreme hatred.

Despite their physical restraint, the hatred in their hearts surged like a flood bursting its banks, unstoppable.

Immediately upon hearing that they were from Zhongzhou, all the Khans were filled with hatred!

Some Khans even forcibly overdraw their powers and launched an attack on the legion after breaking free from control.

At the same time, various supernatural attacks shot out from behind the tents without warning!

In the distance, even some Khans without combat abilities quickly returned to their tents, retrieved various weapons, and frantically charged at the nearest legion soldiers, attempting to kill the Central Plains people before them with their own flesh and blood.

Seeing the chaotic scene, Legion Commander Bai Linzhu couldn't help but frown.

If it weren't for the timely deployment of shields by the defensive awakeners in the legion, many soldiers would likely have been injured in this desperate counterattack by the Khans.

Now that Zhongzhou has begun to expand, peaceful coexistence is out of the question.

The last trace of hesitation in Bai Linzhu's eyes vanished, replaced by the legion commander's decisiveness; he quickly changed his strategy:

"Messenger!"

"Here!" A messenger stepped forward quickly, his eyes filled with suppressed anger and fighting spirit. The hatred these Khans harbored for the people of Central Plains was beyond imagination, making them almost impossible to communicate with.

"These foreigners dare to call themselves descendants of the Heavenly Khan?" Bai Linzhu swept his gaze across the crowd with disdain.

"Pass down the order: any Han Chinese who can stand up... kill them without mercy!"

"Yes, sir!" The messenger's spirits lifted, his voice filled with excitement.

The feeling of being timid and hesitant was unbearable; he had long wanted to teach this group of Khans, who hated Zhongzhou to the core, a lesson.

Military orders are absolute! With Bai Linzhu's new command, the Awakened Ones clearing the way no longer held back and acted without restraint.

"Bang, bang!"

"Buzz—!"

Gunfire continues, and supernatural powers erupt!

Those Khan warriors who were still howling and charging forward, as well as the Khan awakened ones who were constantly launching sneak attacks, fell like felled wheat! They died instantly.

Blood gushed out, instantly staining the ground red, and was then washed away by the torrential rain, converging into winding, dazzling crimson streams that flowed towards the low-lying areas.

Soon, news of the arrival of the First Legion of Central Plains reached the Khan's palace tent.

The atmosphere inside the Khan's palace tent was already one of deathly silence and panic, and the twelve tribal Khans who had been urgently summoned were pale as death.

Although they had received the proclamation from Zhongzhou before, the statement that "Heavenly troops are coming; those who surrender will not be killed" was far too domineering.

But to everyone's surprise, just a few days ago there were rumors of Zhongzhou's expansion, and now the Zhongzhou army has arrived, so quickly and so fiercely!

The khans gathered there were terrified.

"what to do?"

"Quickly send men to stop them! Buy some time!"

"Send up all the warriors you can muster! Hurry!"

However, in order to consolidate their rule, they did not hesitate to stifle the growth of other awakened Khans.

For many years, they have cruelly suppressed the growth of awakened individuals from other tribes, claiming that only members of the Heavenly Khan clan with the "golden bloodline" are qualified to obtain resources and promotions.

This also resulted in the fact that although the number of awakened individuals among the Khanate was large, more than 90% of them remained at the first or second tier! Their combat strength was worlds apart from that of the regular army of Central Plains!

Even so, the Khan's people still obeyed the order to charge.

"To be loyal to the Heavenly Khan!"

"Charge!"

Squads of Khan warriors, inspired by hatred and slogans, charged fearlessly toward the steel torrent of the Central Plains Legion, launching suicidal charges one after another with sheer courage.

However, faced with an absolute disparity in strength and the First Legion's tight formation and coordination, these charges were like waves crashing against rocks, instantly shattered! They couldn't even slow down the legion's advance!

The First Legion advanced smoothly and easily, without encountering any formidable enemies or significant obstacles.

The devastating news of collapsing defenses, annihilated armies, and failed interceptions tolled like a death knell into the palace tent. The Khan's followers, facing death head-on, were utterly terrified.

They only made enemies through public opinion, instilling hatred towards Zhongzhou among all the Khans, but in reality, they never dared to provoke Zhongzhou!

To make matters worse, their latest generation of Heavenly Khan also disappeared after entering the Central Plains during the rise of the Dragon Vein, and has not returned to this day.

Without the command of the Heavenly Khan, the Twelve Khans, having lost their backbone, finally went from being high-ranking rulers to being like ants on a hot pan.

"It's getting closer and closer!"

"It's unstoppable! It's simply unstoppable!"

The blood-soaked remnants of the army kept bringing back suffocating news, and immense fear gripped the hearts of every Khan. Finally, the twelve Khans in the palace tent could no longer sit still.

The First Legion was like a giant dragon traversing the ground, its advance so fast it was despair-inducing!

"Where's Oldman?! Where are the werewolves?!"

A khan suddenly screamed, as if grasping at a last straw:

"Aren't they the Khan's most steadfast allies?! Why aren't they making a move?!"

Only then did the Khans realize that Odman, who had verbally supported them, and the werewolves, their so-called allies, had vanished without a trace and seemed not to have participated in the war.

"Go find Oldman! Hurry!"

Desperate cries echoed within the luxurious palace tents, but received no response.

Now that things had come to this, there was no time to search for the giant wolf clan. The khans could no longer bear the suffocating pressure, and they suddenly stood up and rushed towards the tent entrance without regard for their own safety.

"Run! Split up and run!"

But the next moment, the fleeing khans shakily retreated, their faces pale.

"They've arrived."

"So fast."

The cold rain mixed with the strong smell of blood hit us.

Outside the official tent, the dark mass of Zhongzhou soldiers, like a silent steel forest, blocked all their escape routes as if divine soldiers had descended from the sky!

"boom--!"

A blinding flash of lightning was accompanied by a deafening explosion! A sharp sword aura precisely cleaved through the most magnificent dome of the palace tent!

The dozen or so khans inside the palace tent were also completely exposed to the torrential rain.

Legion Commander Bai Linzhu's cold gaze swept over the many Khans, as if he were looking at a flock of lambs to the slaughter.

Seeing the imposing military formation so close at hand, an elderly Khan suppressed his fear, staggered forward, and shouted in broken Central Plains language:

"Wait! Show mercy!" His voice trembled noticeably.

"We...we are willing to surrender to Zhongzhou, and we wish to lead all the Khan's people to submit to Zhongzhou! We will be your subjects for eternity and will never betray you!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Linzhu simply shook her head slightly, a cold smile curving her lips.
