He closed his eyes, and the clock in his mind stopped ticking.
Five minutes have passed.
The soldiers of the Holy Light Army all straightened their swords, ending the ceremony that lasted for more than four minutes.
Princess Quan gave the order:
"Holy warriors, follow me, Princess Quan, and we shall break through the city!!"
As the shout fell, the Holy Warriors roared in response:
"The warriors of Holy Light are willing to follow Miss to conquer Clear Spring!"
"The warriors of Holy Light are willing to follow the young lady to dominate the land!"
...
Countless divine beasts flashed their light.
Quanxin City met the same fate once again.
The golden sphere of light leveled this precious land, turning it into a barren desert, leaving nothing to be seen.
The difference is that the city lord of Quanxin City was dealt with quickly by Quan Ji, leaving him with a complete corpse.
Amidst the smoke and fire, Quan Ji and Quan Qingchi, along with other generals of the Holy Glory Army, dug a pit with their bare hands.
They placed the body of the city lord of Springheart City into the pit and buried him.
A hint of sadness flashed in Quan Ji's eyes: "Let the fallen leaves return to their roots, so that your body may forever accompany this land, and your soul may forever protect this place."
Quan Ji looked at Quan Qingchi.
"Bring me your sword."
Although Quan Qingchi felt sorry for his sword, he also knew that giving it to Quan Ji was the right choice at this time.
After receiving the greatsword, Quan Ji used her golden dragon calligraphy to write the words of truth that time cannot erase, thus inscribing a theme for Quan Xin Chengcheng, who had been a fleeting beauty in their lives.
The spring reflects my image; my life is dedicated to the land of my nation.
[The last lord of Quanxin City, Lord Zhang.]
[The one who erected the monument: the rival, the destroyer of the city, the young lady of the Holy Glory Empire, Quan Ji.]
The dense text on the sword shone with a dazzling golden light.
Princess Quan plunged her sword into the ground.
Unfortunately, this is their opponent.
From both a moral and logical standpoint, they should not have been given a holy burial.
Quan Ji's hair had grown a little longer.
"Soldiers of Holy Glory, follow me for a hundred miles before resting. Do not disturb General Zhang's peace and quiet!"
The warriors of Holy Glory were also filled with fervor at this moment.
"yes!"
They never imagined that one day the war would be so overwhelming, and they had nothing to worry about.
This is too unreal.
However... these are all reasonable.
Because the young lady's opportunities were fraught with danger, yet also carried enormous benefits.
The twelve houses of the zodiac sign are so numerous that even a fifth-level empire cannot possess them all.
However, their Holy Glory Empire, a third-level empire, has a total of three Destiny Constellations!
Such power is understandable!
Being strong without despising your opponents, and giving them the highest respect—this is perhaps the only touch of gentleness they see amidst the brutal conflicts.
They were very fortunate to have a leader like Kwon Ji.
They watched as Kwon Ji's high ponytail billowed in the smoke and dust, her back to them, facing an unknown danger ahead.
They still hold that same thought in their hearts.
If the gods are no longer in this world, only Princess Quan can be called a god.
Princess Quan, young lady, this is faith!
The faith etched into the hearts of every warrior in the Holy Empire!
...
...
At night, a few shooting stars fell from the sky.
Yun Shenhai stretched his neck and said, "Has another destiny constellation descended?"
Quan Ji also looked up and shook her head: "It's just an ordinary meteor shower. Perhaps it's the fall of some country far away on the other side of the continent, or perhaps it's the Qingquan Empire right in front of us."
Yun Shenhai smiled.
"Sigh, this is my first time fighting a war. Is this what wars between empires are like? Cruel and... sigh, that's not a good word to describe it."
Quan Ji smiled, and there were more than a dozen people surrounding the tent.
Her voice was light and airy, as if she had seen through the ways of the world, with a touch of coolness that was uniquely hers.
She rubbed a few specks of ash between her fingers, forming a sand ball.
“Scattered grains of sand merged together to form a strong fortress; this is the nation.”
However, she blew it again.
The small sand balls scattered.
"A powerful external force causes the sand grains to scatter once again; this is war."
She glanced at it and smiled.
"That's how war is; it's either you die or I die."
"No one likes war. It means bloodshed, killing, families being torn apart, and people dying."
"However, we are in this chaotic world, and we have no choice in what we do."
“If we don’t plunder, the land will become a source of conflict with the people.”
"If we do not communicate, life and people will suffer."
"If we don't unite, humanity will sooner or later turn into a handful of quicksand in this world where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred races coexist."
"The dragon race is the best example."
"In this world, demons and gods rise up together. Although I have no intention of vying for power, I am aware of the suffering of the common people."
"The only way to stop the war is through war."
Quan Ji's words are thought-provoking.
Everyone understood that this girl, who was only seventeen years old, was much more insightful than many others.
She has experienced so much at such a young age; her thoughts and perspectives are unimaginable to others.
Princess Quan said:
“Starting tomorrow, we can split up. For safety, each of the twelve mortal gods will lead a team, and the other high priests will form teams of three. My guardian deities of the constellations of destiny are also considered high priests. If there are any extras, we will replace them with more.”
This statement clearly outlines all the arrangements for tomorrow.
Quan Qingchi said, "Then I'll go with you."
Quan Ji glanced at Quan Qingchi but said nothing.
