"We lost, completely lost."
In the palace hall, the Grand Councilor almost shouted these words at the top of his lungs.
The emperor was stunned for a long time before he realized that he was talking about the defeat on the front line.
"The war has only been going on for two days. Even if there are a million pigs, it will take half a month to catch them all, right?"
The Grand Councilor cried, "When our army was preparing to charge head-on, the enemy had a weapon that could be launched very far, and when it landed in the crowd it exploded, causing great damage."
"When our army sent experts to assassinate the enemy commander, the enemy army also appeared with a weapon called the God-killing Spear, which easily killed the Divine Mind Realm."
"When our army sent cavalry to attack from the flank, the enemy used numerous weapons called rapid-fire lances to kill our elite soldiers at long range, making it impossible for them to even get close."
"Your Majesty, the rebels are like an army from heaven, advancing a hundred miles a day towards the imperial capital, and they are impossible to stop."
The emperor's heart sank, and he gave a trembling order: "One million, two million, three million, let the troops from all over the country gather towards the imperial capital, at all costs."
…
"Senior, war seems quite simple." Qin Mu said with a bit of pride.
Chen An said: "If you didn't have these new weapons, would you be so simple?"
"Hehe, it feels so good to strike with a dimensionality reduction attack. Judging from the current situation, we can push directly to the imperial capital and kill the emperor, and everything will be fine."
Chen An poured cold water on him: "Don't forget there are variables."
"What variables?"
"The eighth level of the Heavenly Ascension is what you call the Emperor Realm."
After a moment of silence, Qin Mu said, "So what if he's at the Emperor Realm? As long as countless spears are pointed at him, even the strongest physique will die."
"It's good to be confident, but don't be overly arrogant. The eighth level of Ascension is highly enhanced, especially in terms of speed. The God-Slaying Spear, which currently has the strongest penetrating power, may not be able to penetrate the eighth level's defenses."
"Senior, do you have any solution?"
"No. Don't show off. Just hide it well."
After Chen An's reminder, Qin Mu gradually kept a low profile, hid himself in the army, and ordered his confidants to convey the message.
In the following two months, the army was unstoppable and invincible.
During the process, remnants of the rebel army and surrendered troops continued to come to Qin Mu, and he accepted them all.
By the time he reached the vicinity of the imperial capital, his army had swelled to two million.
However, before they could attack the imperial capital, a peerless master broke into the military camp and accurately found Qin Mu's area.
"Where is Qin Mu? Come out and die."
This person is a white-haired old man with a majestic aura who suppresses everyone around him.
The guns were loaded, but they looked ridiculous and had no deterrent effect.
In a corner, Qin Mu whispered, "Senior, is he in the Emperor Realm?"
"Yeah, you absolutely can't get enough. Any plans?"
Qin Mu said, "I have already set up a trap for the Emperor Realm. As long as we lure him in, we will have a chance to kill him. But we will suffer great losses."
"Don't worry about the losses at this time, just ensure the main combat power."
Immediately, Qin Mu exposed himself.
"I am Qin Mu, come and kill me if you dare."
The old man praised: "As expected of the King of the Northwest, you have courage and insight. But I have been blessed by the emperor for generations, so I had to take action and offended you."
When the old man took action, Qin Mu flew backwards, aiming to lead him into a trap.
However, not long after they flew, a loud shout echoed from the sky: "The Emperor has committed atrocities and truly deserves death. Qin Mu loves his people like his own children, is a man of great talent and vision, and has the Emperor's order upon him. Why then must you aid and abet his atrocities?"
Qin Mu looked back and saw an unknown old man hanging in the air, who seemed to be at the Emperor Realm as well.
This is not the end yet. Soon two more people came, also at the Emperor level.
"Senior, what's going on? Did you take action?"
Chen An said, "I told you before that when you become strong enough, countless people will come to you. The Emperor Realm is not someone who sees through the secular world. They also have emotions and desires, and they have clan power. They are here to help you now, to give you a helping hand. I'm afraid there is another reason. The ancestors of your Qin family have taken action."
Just as he was saying this, another person flew down from the sky, who was only at the Star-Picking Realm.
Qin Mu was stunned: "Grandpa?"
The visitor looked in Qin Mu's direction and sighed, "I can only help you to this extent."
Under the combined force of the three masters, the old man who attempted to assassinate Qin Mu retreated.
Soon after, it was learned that there were several more emperors in the imperial capital, and that was the empire's strongest foundation.
…
"Senior, I don't believe a few Emperor Realm people can decide the outcome of a war."
He planned for more than ten years and created countless modern weapons, but was blocked by the imperial realm.
Chen An said: "The Emperor Realm cannot kill thousands of troops, but they can determine the direction of the war. Unless your weapons are strong enough to kill them instantly. Unfortunately, with the current level of technology, you are far from being able to do that. What are your ideas on how to attack the Imperial Capital?"
Qin Mu replied, "The three million soldiers stationed in the city may seem powerful, but in reality, they are full of loopholes. Resources are always the top priority in war, and the daily rations consumed by these three million people are more than the imperial court can afford. Therefore, I plan to fight a war of attrition."
"Well, follow your strategy."
That afternoon, Qin Mu went to the front line in person under the protection of the Imperial Realm and commanded the army to bombard the walls of the imperial capital.
The artillery fire was not powerful enough to penetrate the city wall defenses, but it frightened the defenders so much that they dared not retaliate.
"That's enough. I want to see how long they can hold on."
With ammunition continuously delivered from the rear, Qin Mu could afford a war of attrition.
One day, three days, seven days...
As time passed, the attacking side became more and more successful, while the defending side remained frustrated.
The generals requested to go out of the city to fight more than once, but the emperor was afraid and did not agree.
