Xue Yu: "This is only natural. The God Worshiping Sect is favored by the Holy Dynasty, so naturally they must be loyal to the Holy Dynasty with all their might. Only by recruiting the most loyal believers of the God Worshiping Sect into the army can the border defense be stabilized and the people's hearts be at ease."
Song Yanran: "Hmm, it seems General Xue, you know quite a bit about the God Worship Cult."
Xue Yu replied, "I have been guarding the Sacred River Pass for many years, so I naturally have some understanding of the local customs and conditions."
"It's getting late. I should head to Tiansheng Palace. You can continue your conversation."
"Welcome Empress Song!"
After finishing her sentence, Song Yanran left without looking back.
Jiang Haitian overheard the entire conversation between the two and quickly analyzed it in his mind. He immediately realized that Song Yanran was giving him hints about a breakthrough direction.
"Is this what they call tacit understanding? Haha."
He sighed inwardly, then said to Xue Yu, "Brother, I should also prepare to set off for the Holy Dynasty, but before that, I would like to ask you for a favor."
“Brother Jiang, just tell me, and I’ll do whatever it takes for you.”
"With your words of encouragement, I am relieved. I want you to gather the most elite troops from Shenghe Pass to join me in attacking Tianque Pass."
"What did you say?" Xue Yuzhen doubted that he had heard correctly. "Brother, you'd better explain yourself clearly."
Jiang Haitian: "The Empress gave me the task of having the Holy Dynasty's army withdraw a hundred miles outside the Holy River Valley within a month, but as you know..."
The current verbal negotiations between the Holy Dynasty and Demon City are far too protracted. It wouldn't be possible to determine the border line even after several months, let alone a month, or even years.
Therefore, the only way to complete the task assigned by the Empress on time is to take an unconventional approach; Tianque Pass is the most important gateway to the Dao Domain.
It happens to be located a hundred miles away from the City of Victory. As long as my Demon Breath army puts pressure on Tianque Pass, I believe the Empress of Tianque will definitely order the Holy Dynasty army from the City of Victory to return to defend it.
In this way, the Empress's original goal will be achieved: the entire Sacred River Valley will become the boundary of my Demonic Breath. At that time, even if the Heavenly Empress is unwilling,
"This ceasefire agreement is the only option left."
“But this is too outrageous,” Xue Yu replied incredulously. “How can we start a war during negotiations?”
"That's not outrageous. Don't forget, we are citizens of the Demon's Breath Palace, and we receive military pay from the Demon's Breath Palace."
Furthermore, before her departure, the Empress instructed that I, her brother, would be fully responsible for this negotiation with the Holy Dynasty.
If any responsibility arises, it has nothing to do with you, my sworn brother. I just hope you can cooperate with me.
Let's draw this boundary line as soon as possible, what do you think?
More importantly, precisely because during the negotiations, no one expected us to seize the opportunity to launch an attack.
This would catch the Holy Dynasty completely off guard, wouldn't you say?
"This..." Xue Yu hesitated for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "How likely do you think this is?"
"That depends on how much support you can give me, my sworn brother."
After Jiang Haitian finished speaking, he smiled, turned around, and walked down the city wall.
At the same time, without giving any notice, Yu Xiyan led the delegation given to her by Leng Qingcheng and set off for the capital of the Holy Dynasty to meet Luo Pianhong.
