I was hiding in the village and became the Grandmaster of all things!

Time flies, and more than half a month is gone in a flash.

During this long wait, the barbarians who came to form an alliance were exhausted and traveled day and night, with the earnest hope of forming an alliance with the Xia Dynasty in their hearts.

Finally, after countless journeys and exhausting journeys, these barbarian envoys arrived at the prosperous and magnificent imperial capital.

They came with high hopes, but they never expected that the situation had already changed drastically.

It turned out that during this period, there were serious disagreements within the Xia Dynasty court over whether to form an alliance with the barbarians.

With Lin Qingzhi's support, everyone in the court finally decided to abandon the plan of forming an alliance with the barbarians.

Therefore, when these barbarian envoys happily ascended the throne room, which symbolized supreme power, they were greeted not with warm hospitality and friendly negotiations, but with a cold order to drive them away.

"Get out! We don't need your alliance!"

The guards shouted mercilessly.

Faced with such ruthless treatment, the barbarian envoys were stunned. They could not accept this sudden change.

So they began to shout loudly, trying to explain their purpose to the officials of the Xia Dynasty and express their sincerity and willingness to cooperate.

"Please listen to us! We came here with full sincerity, why are you treating us like this?"

"We can provide you with resources to fight against foreign enemies together..."

However, no matter how they shouted or begged, the Xia Dynasty officials in the Golden Palace remained unmoved and turned a deaf ear to their words.

The entire hall fell into deathly silence, with only the desperate and angry voices of the barbarian envoys echoing in the air.

He left the imperial capital with a depressed look on his face.

They knew very well that the barbarians were now at the end of their strength and had no power to turn the tide. Returning to the barbarians would only lead to death.

So, after careful consideration, this group of people who originally belonged to the barbarian tribe decided to completely abandon their past identities, hide their identities, and from then on regard themselves as citizens of the Xia Dynasty.

However, truth cannot be hidden, and before long, the affairs concerning the barbarians were known to ordinary people of the Xia Dynasty.

This news was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar throughout the Xia Dynasty.

For a time, people were discussing this matter hotly on the streets and after dinner.

Due to different views on the barbarians, the people of the Xia Dynasty naturally split into two distinct factions.

One faction advocated forming an alliance with the barbarians, believing that they could take this opportunity to absorb the barbarians' power and strengthen their own strength;

The other faction firmly opposed the alliance, believing that the barbarians had massacred many people from the Xia Dynasty, including their relatives and friends.

The two factions each argued for their own reasons and refused to give in to each other, which triggered a fierce debate in all the prefectures of the Xia Dynasty.

The party that supports the alliance wants to criticize the other side by arguing that the lips and teeth are cold and the barbarians have many resources.

The opposition emphasized that after repelling the army, the barbarian alliance would likely retaliate against the Xia Dynasty.

The two sides each held their own views and argued endlessly, which intensified the discussion on whether to form an alliance with the barbarians and even reached the point of tension.

At the same time, those factions that support the alliance took more active action.

Because this matter was of great importance, they quickly gathered many scholars who were unable to practice martial arts, and rushed to the court together in a mighty force.

These scholars, who were powerless, were full of enthusiasm and hope, hoping to persuade the court to change its original intention.

However, reality dealt them a heavy blow. Although they had gone through so much hardship to reach the capital, they ultimately failed to even see the Emperor, and not even a single official showed up to receive them.

Just like that, this highly anticipated petition trip ended in failure, and the whole thing seemed to have been deliberately forgotten and left unresolved.

Despite this, the debate over whether to form alliances with other countries continues.

Both sides still insist on their own opinions and refuse to give in to each other, but the dispute remains only at the verbal level.

Even though the people were still filled with fear and worry, after witnessing how the court handled the matter, most people chose to believe that the court would make the final decision.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed like a white horse passing by.

During this period, the mysterious army was unstoppable and had successfully captured most of the vast grassland.

Their marching speed and combat capability are astonishing, and the entire war situation is developing in an unpredictable direction.

At the same time, a large number of figures suddenly appeared in front of the majestic and imposing Jianmen Pass.

Looking closely, they turned out to be many ordinary barbarians.

Surprisingly, the majority of these people are elderly and children.

It turned out that they were all ordered by the barbarian royal court to come here from the vast barbarian grasslands.

These are actually a group of survivors specially preserved by the barbarian royal court for their own tribe, but what you see here is not all of them.

In fact, in the other two directions of the barbarian grassland, there were also many elderly barbarians carrying their young offspring and fleeing in a hurry, wandering all the way.

The reason why they fled so desperately was for only one purpose - to prevent the barbarians from becoming extinct, and to allow this once powerful nation to continue, even if it was just a faint hope like a spark.

Although Song Wujie of Jianmen Pass will not allow the barbarian people to enter Jianmen Pass, there is always a chance. After all, who knows whether Song Wujie will feel pity!

Since he had not received any news from the allied forces for a long time, the barbarian king Agu Khan already understood the decision made by the Xia Dynasty.

At this moment, without the strong support of the Xia Dynasty, after careful discussion with everyone around him, he had to face the difficult situation of being pressed step by step by this mysterious and powerful enemy.

So, the Barbarian King resolutely issued the order to retreat and led his troops to slowly retreat to the east.

The direction they retreated to was exactly where the Jianmen Pass of the Xia Dynasty was located in the east.

Since the Xia Dynasty rejected the proposal of forming an alliance to fight against foreign enemies, the Barbarian King thought that it would be better to bring this fierce battle to Jianmen Pass.

In this way, even if the Xia Dynasty was unwilling to help, it could at least make it feel the pressure and threat from the border war.

Perhaps they could face this threat and form an alliance again.

Time passed quickly, and after just a few days, the barbarian army led by the Barbarian King finally arrived at the gate of Jianmen Pass under the relentless pursuit of the western army.

Looking out, I saw the barbarian army stretching out in a vast and endless procession, with no end in sight;

At the same time, the mysterious army from the west was much larger than the barbarians. Their flags covered the sky, and their numbers were as numerous as the bright and shining stars in the night sky, countless.

What is even more terrifying is that a creepy aura of terror is continuously emanating from the Western army, as if it is going to swallow up the entire world.

Affected by this terrifying aura, the birds and beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests were all panicked and fled in all directions, not daring to stay for a moment.

"This... could this be the legendary Xia Dynasty?!"

The white-haired old man at the forefront of the Western army was sitting on the back of a snow-white and extraordinary handsome unicorn, gazing at the majestic Jianmen Pass in the distance, and muttered to himself involuntarily.

I saw that Jianmen Pass towering into the clouds, like a winding dragon lying between heaven and earth.

Its walls are as solid as a rock, and the steep mountains are even more daunting.

Such a majestic, steep and magnificent architectural wonder has never been seen even by knowledgeable Westerners.

For a moment, the entire Western army was attracted by the shocking scene before them. Everyone was stunned and whispered to each other.

Some marveled at the grand scale and exquisite craftsmanship of the pass;

Some people are full of curiosity about the mysterious and ancient Xia Dynasty.

Even the usually calm and composed old man couldn't help but reveal an expression of surprise that was hard to conceal on his face.

There are no such buildings in the West. If they can take this place, then this towering building will belong to them in the West.

This is their achievement.

In an instant, greed and excitement appeared on the faces of all the Western soldiers.
