Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 388 The War Spreads to the Practitioners

"In reply to your Majesty, I have actually heard this news a long time ago, but I have never believed that it is true. However, judging from the attitude of the Emperor now, he seems to be completely confident about the defense of Shanhaiguan. This means that the problem your Majesty is worried about does not exist at all, and Shanhaiguan still has a trump card."

"Don't ask me for meatballs. What's going on? Tell me what you have up your sleeve."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Actually, many people know about this matter, but I have never taken it seriously. It is said that there are not only various talented hermits among the worshippers of our Great Zhou Empire, but also powerful cultivators who can fight against an army alone. If they take action, the defense of Shanhaiguan will definitely be no problem."

However, after hearing what he said, His Majesty the Emperor simply shook his head.

As the emperor of the Great Zhou Empire, he naturally knew a lot of secrets, and he even inquired about the affairs of practitioners. However, although there were many rumors, he had never seen a practitioner, so His Majesty the Emperor always felt that practitioners were fake and did not exist.

Otherwise, the legend says that the practitioner achieved success in his practice.

It is possible to live for hundreds or even thousands of years. If that were the case, there would be so many old monsters in the Great Zhou Empire. However, he has been emperor for so many years and has never seen anyone who actually lived past 100 years old.

So in the emperor's view, practitioners are fake.

"It's impossible for there to be any cultivators. But you are right about one thing. The Gongfeng Pavilion has always been under the control of the Emperor. Even if there are no cultivators, there should be many extraordinary people. If they take action at Shanhaiguan, it is possible that they can really defend it. Since the Emperor is not worried, we don't need to think too much. Let's just wait and see what happens."

Although His Majesty the Emperor said so, a thought suddenly came to his mind: Could it be that there really was a cultivator?

Of course, this idea was just something he thought about, and he now wanted to see how the emperor would solve the problem.

At the same time, as the war in Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan City became increasingly intense, a large number of naval forces from the Huaxia Empire had arrived in the North Sea area. When the war entered its final stage, 40,000 of General Wan's men were withdrawn, leaving 10,000 to defend the coast.

At this moment, the Chinese Navy landed in the Northeast through several ports and took away more than 600 million of the remaining 200 million people in the entire Northeast region, leaving only three or four million people.

When the Tartar emperor received the news, he simply couldn't believe it, but the facts were before him and there was no point in him not believing it.

"Who are these people who suddenly appeared? They actually took away so many of our people and robbed us of so many supplies. Don't let me know who they are, otherwise I will lead the army to kill them."

When his civil officials heard that the emperor was so angry, they also offered their suggestions.

"Your Majesty, I think the person who did it is most likely from the Great Zhou Empire, that naval general named Niu. He led his men to attack our coastal area and took these people away."

"That's impossible. I've already checked the archives and found out that the navy of the Great Zhou Empire has not moved at all. These people must be from other countries."

The Emperor's direct denial caused even more discussion among the people below. "If they are not from the Great Zhou Empire, then the most likely ones are the island country and the Korean country. These two countries are the closest to our territory, and they both have naval forces."

"But your majesty, don't be angry. No matter how powerful these two countries are, they are no match for us. Let's not bother with them for now if they take these people away. We will take action against them after this war is over."

"Yes, Your Majesty, no matter which country it is, we will arrange people to investigate now. When the war is over, we will know who started it. Then we can attack in this name. They will not only take back the people who were taken away, but also compensate us for our losses and make them pay us double."

"That's right. The most important thing for us now is to capture Shanhaiguan. As long as we capture Shanhaiguan, all other problems can be easily solved."

His Majesty the Emperor was naturally no fool. After hearing what they said, he knew what choice he should make, so he directly ordered an all-out attack.

At this time, inside Shanhaiguan, Wang Zitang also saw the enemy's movements and knew that a general attack was about to be launched. He also tried his best to prepare people to take action.

If he fails in this war, he will have no future, so he has to take a gamble no matter what.

But as the war continued, he knew that even if he tried his best, it would be difficult to defend Shanhaiguan this time. Just when the enemy rushed up the city wall, an accident finally occurred.

The war, which was almost one-sided, was suddenly stopped because of a rainstorm. No matter how powerful the Tartars were, they could not continue to attack the city in the pouring rain. Even if they managed to climb the city wall, they were doomed to be killed. So they had no choice but to call off the battle. Along with the heavy rain, all the soldiers were unaware that a more intense battle had begun in the sky above Shanhaiguan.

As a practitioner, Jia Lun could naturally watch from the side.

Moreover, he could clearly feel that there were many practitioners around watching this battle, and some were even hiding in formations. He didn't care about these people and just watched the scene from a distance.

He also wanted to know how many practitioners there were in the Great Zhou Empire and how strong they were.

I want to know even more whether I can lure that Taizu out this time.

Obviously, there were many people who shared the same idea as him. They were all waiting silently. At this time, two people from the Great Zhou Empire were fighting against one person. Unfortunately, although they were two people, their strength was obviously insufficient.

Just when they were about to surrender, another person joined the battlefield, and the three-on-one battle finally ended in a draw.

But just like this fight, everyone was eager to make a move. The Great Zhou Empire did not touch a truly strong man, so they saw the weakness of the Great Zhou Empire.

If the Great Zhou Empire still had truly powerful people, this situation would not have occurred. Therefore, the Great Zhou Empire is now truly without successors. If the ancestor who ascended to heaven does not come back, I am afraid that it will really not be a match for the surrounding countries.
