Three Great Empires, a coalition army of a million!
They had actually breached the Eastern Border Pass of the Heavenly Martial Empire and were now charging into the empire's territory.
For everyone, this was simply a bolt from the blue.
Too sudden.
And too fierce.
No wonder even Emperor Dominic Su lost his composure like this.
The Three Great Empires joining forces to deal with the Heavenly Martial Empire was a catastrophe of extinction for the Heavenly Martial Empire.
"Your Majesty, we should send troops immediately to contain the offensive of the Three Great Empires!"
"Your Majesty! Send troops quickly!"
"While the Eastern Border has not fallen completely, send troops quickly!"
...
More than one court official stood up and said.
At this moment, only by sending troops to resist the offensive of the Three Great Empires could the Heavenly Martial Empire be preserved.
Otherwise, once the Eastern Border was fully occupied by the Three Great Empires, it would be almost a dream for the Heavenly Martial Empire to counterattack.
As the Emperor, Dominic Su naturally understood this principle.
"General Hector!"
"This subject is here!"
General Hector, clad in heavy armor, stepped forward and spoke with clanging force.
"Immediately take three hundred thousand Tiger Guard Army, plus one hundred thousand Imperial Guards from the capital, and go to the Eastern Border to resist the enemy immediately."
"Remember, I do not seek a great victory, but you must stop the coalition army of the Three Great Empires at the Eastern Border. We absolutely cannot let them trample on the territory of my Heavenly Martial Empire wantonly!"
General Hector bowed heavily.
"This humble subject obeys the order!"
General Hector left. He took away three hundred thousand Tiger Guard Army, plus one hundred thousand Imperial Guards from the capital, a total of four hundred thousand troops, rushing to the Eastern Border.
These four hundred thousand troops were the fastest army the Heavenly Martial Empire could mobilize.
It wasn't impossible to gather more soldiers and horses, but it would take some time to deploy troops and generals.
It was absolutely impossible to do it within three to five days.
The court was not optimistic.
The coalition army of the Three Great Empires numbered a full one million.
So many troops rolling in; everywhere they went would be trampled into mud.
Could General Hector, with these four hundred thousand troops, block the opposing million-strong coalition army?
This was truly difficult.
Many people speculated that these four hundred thousand troops would at most last for three days before collapsing.
At that time, the Eastern Border would fall into chaos, and the Heavenly Martial Empire would be in danger of annihilation.
After the court session, Dominic Su was still uneasy.
He wished he could go to the Eastern Border personally immediately.
But as an Emperor, if he appeared at the Eastern Border at this time, the Three Great Empires would inevitably take action.
In case Dominic Su had an accident, the Heavenly Martial Empire would really be finished.
"Your Majesty, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope for the Eastern Border."
Julian suddenly appeared and knelt in front of Dominic Su.
Dominic Su was stunned, then shook his head.
"You don't need to comfort me. If General Hector's four hundred thousand troops can last for three days, it would be considered a great victory. Trying to keep the Eastern Border is as difficult as ascending to heaven."
In his heart, he didn't hold much hope.
The only thing he could do was to gather more troops quickly while the Eastern Border hadn't fallen yet, and contact other countries to form an alliance.
Only in this way was it possible to preserve the Heavenly Martial Empire and retake the Eastern Border.
But the current situation was extremely unfavorable to the Heavenly Martial Empire.
Julian said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Cloud-Drifting Mountain is right in the Eastern Border."
As soon as these words came out.
Dominic Su was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up.
"That's right!"
Only then did he remember that on Cloud-Drifting Mountain lived an unfathomable otherworldly Expert.
With this Expert there, perhaps the Eastern Border could be saved.
"Julian, go see this Expert immediately and beg him to take action!"
Dominic Su said.
"This subordinate obeys!"
Julian left, carrying Dominic Su's token, and went straight to Cloud-Drifting Mountain.
Setting off alone, he actually arrived at the Eastern Border one step ahead of General Hector's four hundred thousand troops.
Before the million-strong coalition army hit Cloud-Drifting Mountain, Julian hurried to Cloud-Drifting Mountain.
But upon looking, Julian was a bit dumbfounded.
Why are there so many temples at the foot of Cloud-Drifting Mountain?
One next to another, blocking the road up the mountain.
The largest temple impressively hung the sign of The Shaolin Temple.
Solemn and respectful!
Grand and majestic!
Those who didn't know would think some big temple from the West Realm Buddhism had moved here.
Julian was puzzled, but couldn't care about investigating these. He quickly passed through the temples and went straight up Cloud-Drifting Mountain.
Arriving at the mountain.
Julian saw from afar Quinn Ye leisurely drinking tea on a reclining chair, and Finn Guo washing clothes.
"Master, someone is coming."
Finn saw Julian first and shouted to Quinn.
Quinn opened his eyes. Seeing it was Julian, he couldn't help but smile.
"Julian, you haven't come to visit me for a long time."
Julian, however, had no mind to say these things. He quickly cupped his hands to Quinn.
"Young Master Ye, this time I really need to ask you to come out of the mountain."
Quinn was stunned.
Julian looked solemn and said he wanted to invite him out of the mountain?
What's the situation?
"What happened?"
Quinn asked.
Immediately, Julian told Quinn what had happened.
Hearing this, Quinn almost fell off his chair.
My goodness!
War!
There's actually a war!
What should I do?
"Master, why don't we move house?"
Finn also looked worried.
As a child who had been a beggar, Finn knew the principle of preparing for a rainy day.
In case the army fought over here, staying here would likely lead to disaster.
"Right, right, right! Move house!"
"Move quickly!"
Quinn immediately ran into the house, intending to move all his belongings.
Julian was dumbfounded.
"Young Master Ye! Young Master Ye!"
"We rely on you to repel that million-strong army this time!"
Julian quickly followed Quinn.
Quinn was speechless.
"You want me to repel a million-strong army?"
"Who do you think I am? The Monkey King?"
Julian looked confused.
Who is Sun Wukong?
But now was not the time to study who Sun Wukong was.
"In the current Heavenly Martial Empire, apart from Young Master Ye, there is really no one who can turn the tide."
Julian knelt directly in front of Quinn.
Begging earnestly.
Quinn sighed.
"It's useless for you to beg me. I am basically a mortal. Let alone a million-strong army, any few strong men can take care of me."
"You should go back. Tell His Majesty the Emperor that I, Quinn Ye, want to move. If he wants to come and freeload meals in the future, don't come to Cloud-Drifting Mountain anymore."
After finishing speaking, Quinn continued to pack his luggage.
Julian felt despair in his heart.
Even Quinn Ye is unwilling to take action?
Could it be that Heaven truly wants to destroy my Heavenly Martial Empire?
Helpless, Julian could only turn and leave.
Shortly after Julian left.
General Hector rushed to the battlefield with four hundred thousand troops.
And the enemy's million-strong army had also arrived.
Just on the battlefield not far from Cloud-Drifting Mountain, a great battle broke out.
But in less than a day.
The four hundred thousand troops were defeated.
Remnants of the army fled continuously.
"Hahahaha! Is this all the Heavenly Martial Empire is capable of?"
"Kill, kill, kill! Kill into the heartland of the Heavenly Martial Empire!"
"After this battle, the Heavenly Martial Empire will have no power to resist!"
...
The million-strong army galloped freely and soon arrived in the area of Cloud-Drifting Mountain.
At this time, Quinn and Finn had just packed their luggage and were about to flee down the mountain.
But at this moment, Monk Hugo came up with a large group of monks.
"Holy Son, the mountain is already heavily besieged by the army. I and the others will fight to the death to protect the Holy Son's safety!"
Monk Hugo said with a firm face.
