The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 3174: Chapter 3149: The Shenwu Kingdom’s Army!
Lin Bai, Yin Jiuling, Ning, Lin Ye, and Hu Qi walked directly towards the Five Peaks Nine Courts.
Now that Emperor Xiao himself has arrived at the Miracle Ridge, the entire Five Peaks Nine Courts is filled with the army of the Shenwu Kingdom.
From afar within the clouds, Lin Bai could see below among the soldiers, two grand flags were erected: one of the "Shenwu Kingdom" and the other of the "Chu Family’s Army".
Lin Bai landed on the Five Peaks, walking towards the Great Hall, and along the way, soldiers, upon seeing Lin Bai, fell to one knee in respect, exclaiming: "Greetings, Sword Prince!"
"Greetings, Sword Prince!"
"Greetings, Sword Prince!"
The echo of waves of shouts resonated atop the Five Peaks.
To the soldiers of the Chu Family’s Army, Lin Bai holds a place in their hearts akin to Chu Jiangliu and Emperor Xiao.
Perhaps to the other armies in Shenwu Kingdom, Lin Bai might not hold such deep sentiment, but because the Chu Family’s Army was trained by Chu Jiangliu, they regard Lin Bai with special reverence.
On the plaza, amidst tide-like sounds, an armored Chu Jiangliu walked to the front of the Great Hall, seeing Lin Bai approach, he clasped his hands and exclaimed: "Sword Prince!"
Lin Bai glanced at Chu Jiangliu. Years of battles left more traces of time on his face, and he had grown stubble, appearing more composed. His eyes sharp and restrained, embodied a true high-ranking marquis’ demeanor.
Lin Bai smiled as he approached, patting Chu Jiangliu’s shoulder, and laughed: "You’re increasingly resembling a marquis."
Chu Jiangliu laughed: "Hahaha, well, everyone has to keep growing, don’t they?"
Lin Bai slightly nodded.
Chu Jiangliu said: "Sword Prince, please, Emperor Xiao has been waiting for a long time."
Lin Bai, solemn-faced, walked into the Great Hall.
Upon entering the Great Hall, Lin Bai saw that on the left side stood civil ministers, and on the right, military officials, while Bai Xiaoxiao stood high above, clad in imperial robes, with a cold expression, watching Lin Bai walk in.
Foremost among civil ministers was Imperial Master Shang Lang.
Foremost among military officials was Chu Jiangliu!
Lin Bai walked in, clasped his hands, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, Emperor Xiao!"
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded: "Raise!"
At this moment, Shang Lang smiled and exclaimed: "Greetings, Sword Prince!"
Following Shang Lang’s salutation, other civil ministers emulated his gesture, clasping their hands and exclaiming: "Greetings, Sword Prince!"
As for the military officials, they all fell to one knee respectfully and exclaimed: "Greetings, Sword Prince!"
Lin Bai nodded: "You may rise!"
Bai Xiaoxiao gently nodded and said: "According to my earlier instructions, prepare yourselves and depart!"
"Chu Jiangliu and Sword Prince remain!"
Bai Xiaoxiao instructed.
"By order!" At once, civil and military officials retreated, and Shang Lang also departed.
In the Great Hall, only Lin Bai, Yin Jiuling, Hu Qi, Ning, Lin Ye, Chu Jiangliu, and Emperor Xiao remained.
After everyone left, Emperor Xiao stepped down from the Dragon Throne and approached Lin Bai, whispering: "The situation at Miracle Ridge seems far from optimistic!"
Lin Bai said: "Compared to our predicted time, it’s already far overdue."
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded: "Indeed, back when you told me that in about ten years, the Blood Fiend would surely emerge, but now it’s been over ten years. It seems the sealing at Miracle Ridge can’t contain them any longer."
Chu Jiangliu clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Xiao, now isn’t the time to discuss this. If the Blood Fiend emerges, it will inevitably trigger chaos in the East Continent, and our Shenwu Kingdom is the closest place to Miracle Ridge. Once the Blood Fiend strikes, those first in line to suffer will surely be us in Shenwu Kingdom!"
Lin Bai asked: "Xiaoxiao, how much of the army have you brought from Shenwu Kingdom?"
Bai Xiaoxiao said: "Chu Family’s Army, fifty million!"
"Imperial Sky Army, thirty million!"
"Imperial Dragon Army, thirty million!"
"Dragon Pattern Forbidden Army, thirty million!"
"Shenwu Sword God Camp, thirty thousand!"
"These are approximately the troops currently at Miracle Ridge."
Upon hearing Bai Xiaoxiao’s words, Lin Bai furrowed his brows.
Bai Xiaoxiao said: "After Shenwu Kingdom and the Great Witch Dynasty divided territories by the river, I restructured the Shenwu Kingdom’s army!"
"Currently within Shenwu Kingdom, the elite troops are only the Chu Family’s Army, Imperial Sky Army, Imperial Dragon Army, and Dragon Pattern Forbidden Army!"
"Besides them, many Military Marquis still hold military power, but compared to these four major corps, they are much weaker."
Chu Jiangliu at this moment said to Lin Bai: "Sword Prince, this is the strongest army we can mobilize from Shenwu Kingdom, isn’t it enough?"
Lin Bai asked: "That’s not what I mean. What I mean is... Xiaoxiao, you’ve moved so many troops; what about Shenwu Kingdom’s frontier? If the Great Witch Dynasty invades at this moment, and Shenwu Kingdom’s main force is at Miracle Ridge, what about Shenwu Kingdom’s territories?"
Bai Xiaoxiao said: "I can’t worry about so much now, this battle at Miracle Ridge must be fought!"
"It was also the promise we made when you supported Shenwu Kingdom’s rise."
"Moreover, this battle isn’t just for you; if the Blood Fiend at Miracle Ridge aren’t dealt with, they will eventually become a grave threat to Shenwu Kingdom!"
Bai Xiaoxiao declared firmly.
Lin Bai heard Bai Xiaoxiao bringing close to a hundred million troops to Miracle Ridge, which is clearly Shenwu Kingdom’s strongest military force.
Yet, in doing so, Shenwu Kingdom’s frontier defenses would surely lack, and should the Great Witch Dynasty invade, Shenwu Kingdom would have no power to resist!
Lin Bai said coldly: "It seems we must resolve the Blood Fiend swiftly!"
Bai Xiaoxiao asked: "Lin Bai, do you have any ideas?"
Lin Bai said: "Very simple, two methods, if one succeeds, the Blood Fiend will be resolved!"
Chu Jiangliu asked: "What methods?"
Lin Bai looked at everyone and said: "The first method: eradicate all the Blood Fiend to eliminate future problems!"
Ning heard Lin Bai’s words and immediately shook his head and said: "Lin Bai, we’ve all descended to see it, but the number of Blood Fiend beneath is difficult to believe, and among them are so many Taoist Realm Blood Fiends; even if Shenwu Kingdom mobilizes a hundred million troops, it may be tough to annihilate all the Blood Fiends."
Chu Jiangliu exclaimed in surprise: "Sword Prince, you’ve descended to see?"
Lin Bai slightly nodded: "Ning’s words are accurate, to annihilate all the Blood Fiends seems too unrealistic; thus, only the second method is viable."
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Bai and asked: "What is the second method?"
Lin Bai said: "Seal the Blood Fiend once more!"
Bai Xiaoxiao frowned and said: "But that’s easier said than done; you mentioned years ago that the seal on the Blood Fiend here was personally set by Senior Qinghe, his powerful cultivation naturally could seal the Blood Fiend, but for us..."
Lin Bai said: "Initially, I had little confidence in sealing the Blood Fiend, but after meeting the Blood Demon King below, he seemed to offer me a favorable choice..."
Bai Xiaoxiao asked: "What choice?"
Lin Bai said: "Creation Divine Palace!"
