Volume 1 Chapter 333 I am the Cloud Emperor
"But it's no longer necessary. The Great Cloud Empire and the White Mist Kingdom have already negotiated peace. Although the King of the White Mist Kingdom has not issued a formal peace agreement, as long as they stop sending troops to attack the Great Cloud Empire, then we must not take the initiative to attack the White Mist Kingdom in order to maintain the rare peace between the two countries."
Jiang Yue was stunned when he heard this. His Majesty said that he would not attack the Baiwu Kingdom, so why did he bring a million Huoyun Army here? Are they visiting neighbors?
Jiang Yue really didn't know how to respond to such contradictory words, so he said directly: "I am a stupid person, please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."
Xiang Yun looked towards Dongqi Pass and thought to himself, "Although I hope for peace, this does not mean that Baiwu Country can ignore Dayun Empire. If they don't give me face, then I must give Baiwu Country a big warning and a warning. Otherwise, they will really think that Dayun Empire is easy to bully!"
"If the guards of Dongqi Pass are sensible, then there will be no trouble. If they insist on being stupid, he doesn't mind adding another checkpoint to the territory of Dayun Empire."
Thinking of this, Xiang Yun gave an order: "Go, send a brave soldier up there and tell him that I am personally leading an expedition to the Eight Gods Temple and that the army needs to go through here to the East Qi Pass. Ask them to open the city gates and let the million-strong army pass through."
Jiang Yue said quickly: "Your Majesty, I will go there myself. If the enemy attacks suddenly, we can still be prepared and have the strength to resist."
Xiang Yun frowned and scolded: "Don't you know your identity? Didn't you learn your lesson from the last time I scolded you?"
Jiang Yue was so shocked by Xiang Yun's words that he turned around and made arrangements without saying a word.
Seeing him leave, Xiang Yun reminded him again: "Tell the soldiers to be nicer and not be too aggressive. After all, they are friendly countries that live in harmony. Also, if they don't want to, don't say anything more and just come back."
"yes!"
Not long after, a soldier from the Huoyun Army rode out on his horse and galloped straight towards the gate of Dongqi Pass.
Xiang Yun looked at his figure with a frown. This soldier was in great danger of death. His only chance of survival depended on whether he could rescue him in time!
The sudden appearance of the million-strong army of the Dayun Empire caused an uproar in Dongqi Pass. They had not received any news in advance, so panic was inevitable. After all, the Baiwu Kingdom had been defeated not long ago, and five million soldiers had been killed at the hands of the Dayun Empire. How could they defend their small Dongqi Pass!
Soon, the Fire Cloud Army soldier rode his horse to the gate of Dongqi Pass and shouted loudly, "The Emperor of the Great Cloud Empire is personally leading an expedition to the Eight Gods Temple and is passing through Dongqi Pass. Please open the gate quickly and let our army pass through."
"This..." The defenders and the general in command at Dongqi Pass were completely dumbfounded, and most of them were speechless.
Why is it that the Dayun Empire has such strong power, but it always has to do such terrible things?
Before, they were negotiating peace, but now they are bringing a million troops to borrow the road. Is there any need to discuss such a ridiculous thing? Any country with sovereignty and dignity would not agree to such a thing.
If this road was lent out today, the reputation of Baiwu Kingdom would be completely trampled under the feet of Dayun Empire.
Therefore, if there is no order from the King of Baiwu Kingdom, as a general of Dongqi Pass, he would never dare to use the passage even if he dies.
Besides, there is a mortal feud between the two countries with millions of troops between them. It is good enough that they did not start fighting directly after meeting. Why do they still need to borrow the road?
If it weren't for the fact that the Dayun Empire had a solid record of battle, the generals leading the troops in Dongqi Pass would have thought that the emperor of the Dayun Empire was an ignorant and stupid fool.
The Huoyun Army soldier shouted, but there was no response from inside Dongqi Pass and the city gate was not opened. He couldn't help but fall into confusion. Just as he was about to speak again, suddenly a large number of archers appeared on the city gate, pointing their bows and arrows at him.
The soldier was horrified. The next moment, the general leading the troops at Dongqi Pass appeared on the city gate. He looked down at him and then at the millions of enemy troops a thousand meters away. After thinking for a while, he said, "Outsiders are not allowed to cross the border of Baiwu Country. Violators will be killed without mercy!"
"This general orders you to disappear from this place within ten breaths. If you fail, you will be pierced by thousands of arrows and die!"
The general, who had recovered from his panic, immediately felt confident. As a general guarding the border, his duty was to stop anyone outside this pass.
So he had no choice but to defend and repel the enemy. Retreating or giving in would mean death.
After counting carefully, the army of the Dayun Empire only has one million, while he has 800,000 troops under his command, which is more than enough to defend the city. Even if he cannot defeat the army of the Dayun Empire, the 800,000 troops can hold out until the reinforcements from the court arrive, so that Dongqi Pass will not be lost.
In fact, he wanted to kill the soldier of the Dayun Empire directly, but the imperial court's intentions were unclear now. Once a war broke out, he might be isolated and helpless. In this case, it would be best not to fight with the Dayun Empire.
The Huoyun Army soldier was a little frightened by them. After all, everyone is afraid of death. With so many bows and arrows pointed at him, it would be a lie to say he didn't feel scared.
But he was unwilling to go back just like that, fearing that he would lose face for the emperor. The soldier thought about it, mustered up the courage to look directly at the general, and then shouted loudly: "The Emperor said that the Great Yun Empire has established friendship with the White Mist Kingdom and will live in harmony from now on. It's just a transit point. Why is it so difficult? Or does the White Mist Kingdom still want to go to war with the Great Yun Empire?"
"This general has not received any imperial edict. Before receiving the royal decree from our king, this general's duty is to guard Dongqi Pass. So, if you want to fight, this general is always ready to fight!" The soldier used the previous defeat of Baiwu Kingdom as a threat, but the statistics general was not afraid and directly retorted.
How could this soldier be more confident than a general who had served for many years? Seeing that he would get nothing out of staying, the soldier turned around and left with a red face, saying, "I will tell Emperor Yun what you mean. I hope you will still be so confident when the Sun's cannons come down later!"
The soldier left angrily, and the general in charge of the Dongqi Pass troops was again in a dilemma. He was considering whether to shoot the soldier.
After all, the enemy is coming with such a strong force that it would be impossible for them not to attack the city. Now, if we can shoot and kill this soldier who comes to report the news on the spot, it will definitely dampen the enemy's morale!
Watching the soldier's figure getting farther and farther away and gradually out of the range of the bows and arrows, the general could only sigh and give up his plan.
Seeing the soldiers return safely, Xiang Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as they were safe and sound, no matter what the result was, his goal had been achieved. The next step was to make a show of force to scare the tiger away.
Xiang Yun soon learned about the attitude of the White Mist Nation from the soldier. He couldn't help but chuckled, and then said to all the Fire Cloud Army soldiers: "Everyone, watch out. Today, I will let you see what strength is. From now on, as long as each of you concentrates on practicing the skills I give you, one day you will also gain as powerful strength as me!"
After Xiang Yun finished speaking, he took off into the air and flew straight to Dongqi Pass. He landed at the city gate and stood in front of the general.
This god-level operation stunned the general. He took a few steps back involuntarily, his face full of fear.
"You, you, you...who are you!" he shouted in panic.
Xiang Yun didn't look at him, but said calmly: "I am Emperor Yun, why don't you kneel down when you see me?"
Although Xiang Yun's voice was light, an invisible pressure burst out from his body, covering the entire Dongqi Pass in an instant.
