I forged immortality in my past life.

Chapter 48 The Emperor's Wrath!

"Senior brother, you really are always so brave."

Gao Mingyue gave a bitter smile.

She certainly believed Li Wu Hui's words, but she didn't think that the Ghost King Emperor could be so easily dealt with by her senior brother.

However, Brother Wu Hui has proven himself many times.

Gao Mingyue would not question him.

What she wanted to fight for was something else entirely.

"The Imperial Guard, though numbering only a few tens of thousands, is the only elite legion in the world that starts as a Tier 3 soldier, its combat power unmatched in the world!"

"Senior Brother Wu Hui, only by fighting alongside you in this battle can we have the greatest chance of victory."

Gao Mingyue looked intently at Li Wuhui.

This girl's biggest fear is that I'll leave her behind.

Li Wu Hui fell silent for a moment.

However, he immediately smiled.

"Good! With Mingyue's help, we have a 70% chance of winning this battle."

He never intended to keep Gao Mingyue.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The military banquet was held as scheduled, and Li Wuhui and Gao Mingyue drank fine wine and chatted about everything under the sun.

The rest of the soldiers were also in groups of two or three, or in small groups, having a great time.

However, even in the midst of the merriment, tens of thousands of soldiers remained on duty in shifts, and those who drank alcohol did not get drunk, ready to respond to any possible enemy attacks at any time.

......

"What are you saying to me?!"

"The Black Tiger Army was defeated? They only destroyed a few cities. How could the mere 1.8 million defenders of Shilong City stop them? A bunch of useless trash!"

"What nonsense about elite Taoist reinforcements! It's all just sophistry!"

A place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

Hundreds of thousands of laborers and maids actually carried a simple yet luxurious palace here, so that the emperor could enjoy himself in this front-line area.

However, today the emperor flew into a rage at the messenger and beheaded more than a dozen messengers.

This brutal scene terrified hundreds of thousands of laborers and maids, who trembled in fear and wished they could bury their heads in the ground, as if that would prevent them from incurring the emperor's wrath.

And in the imperial palace.

The emperor, his face still radiant with anger, was not angry about the Black Tiger Army's defeat.

Instead, it was those lowly, unworthy people from the sect alliance who dared to defy his great cause.

Even with the ghostly army borrowing a path and the most brutal vanguard legion from seven hundred years ago, they couldn't be scared off. We can't let them obediently guard their lair and wait to die!

"You don't want to prolong your life, do you?"

"I was originally planning to let you live a few more years, and then you could just disband your sects and gangs. But you insisted on courting death, didn't you!"

"Hehehe, very well, then I will grant your wish!"

His majestic face instantly turned sinister.

He looked towards the palace gates and coldly gave the order:

"Left and Right Chancellors, issue orders to all legions: spare no effort to break through the sect alliance's blockade! I will personally lead the Imperial Guard Legion to annihilate the sects and gangs in one battle!"

In the past, even treacherous ministers and high-ranking officials would have advised the emperor against such absurd ideas.

Ignoring the casualties of the legion and even greatly depleting the strength of the Imperial Guard, they only wanted to quickly annihilate the sect alliance.

Even if successful, the Emperor's most direct military forces would be greatly weakened.

If the war were to end unexpectedly, not to mention anything else, the Imperial Guard would suffer heavy casualties, with the number of Tier 3 soldiers not even reaching ten thousand. How could they possibly deter the powerful clans and aristocratic families of the world?

Don't be fooled by the fact that the aristocratic families are all behaving themselves now, making it seem like only the sect alliance is a rebellious bunch of lowly people.

It's just that aristocratic families and sects have different development methods. Aristocratic families occupy land and can raise their own servants and retainers.

Although sects also have bloodline inheritance, most disciples are still selected from the secular world, which greatly reduces the pool of excellent candidates recruited by the imperial court.

In addition, this was the heyday of martial arts sects, and in many prefectures and counties, sects and gangs were even more responsible than the government, taking on the responsibility of maintaining social stability, which is why they became a thorn in the side of the imperial court.

However, these are all things that court officials in the past would have considered.

The Ghost King Emperor had been plotting for decades, and his left and right prime ministers had long been replaced by his fierce ghost generals, who would absolutely obey his orders and would naturally not question him in any way.

After all, the Imperial Guard Legion, which was replaced by the Ghost King Army, is much stronger than the Imperial Guard Legion before!

The Left Prime Minister grinned maliciously: "Your Majesty, I will obey your decree. Tomorrow, numerous legions will advance with all their might towards the heart of the Sect Alliance!"

The Right Chancellor grinned sinisterly: "Your Majesty, the brothers of the Ghost King's Army are starving and eagerly awaiting the dawn of a new era for you!"

Only then did the Ghost King Emperor restrain his anger.

He displayed a confident and arrogant expression, and waved his hand dismissively:

"In that case, you may proceed with your tasks."

"I need to find some beauties to cool off."

The officials on either side respectfully took their leave.

Soon after, the sound of a woman's painful screams came from the imperial palace.

Outside the palace gates, several beautiful women, trembling with fear, were occasionally pushed into the imperial palace by their maids.

These beauties would naturally be willing to serve the emperor in bed.

But every day, hundreds of beauties entered the imperial palace, and none of them came out; all that remained were their painful screams.

Such a terrifying unknown.

Who wouldn't be afraid!

However, the maids guarding the beauty all looked indifferent, clearly having grown accustomed to doing this kind of thing.

……

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

After a day of military banquet.

The three million troops quickly adjusted their formation and set off towards the location of the Daoist sect's main branch.

After several days of marching, they were only a hundred li away from their ancestral home.

However, Li Wu Hui suddenly realized something was wrong!

"The Taoist sect has a strict system. In times of war, they will definitely set up reconnaissance troops two hundred miles away from the sect. We have come close to within a hundred miles and have not encountered a single Taoist reconnaissance team."

"Something has happened within the Taoist sect! March at full speed!"

Everyone's expression changed.

Li Wu Hui immediately gave the order, looking at Gao Ming Yue:

"If the main sect of the Daoist sect is in danger, my courage alone will not be enough. Mingyue, you and I will lead 120,000 elite troops, riding level 3 military horses, to go ahead and investigate the situation at the main sect of the Daoist sect."

"We'll see what happens when the time is right!"

"Yes, General."

Gao Mingyue nodded, then looked at Zhang Yan.

After considering it for a moment, he gave the order:

"Elder Zhang Yan, you are commanding three million troops on a rapid march to the Daoist sect's main branch. If you do not find us, you may launch an attack on the Daoist sect's enemies on your own!"

"If you see us, you may ask the general for further orders."

Zhang Yan bowed and accepted the order:

"Zhang Yan obeys."

Soon, Li Wuhui and his companion led 120,000 elite troops, bypassing the main army formation, and headed ahead to the location of the Daoist sect's main branch.

It's only about thirty miles.

A large number of enemy character portraits appeared.

[Tier 2 Imperial Army Elite]

Li Wuhui saw tens of thousands of elite level 2 soldiers gathered together. Judging from their military bearing, each group of several thousand soldiers was clearly divided into several groups, indicating that there should be several leaders.

[Level 7 Valiant General]

[Level 7 Fierce General]

[Level 7 Valiant General]

......

Li Wuhui observed patiently for a while and saw nearly ten level 7 soldiers.

"A level 7 soldier would be enough to be the commander of an ordinary million-strong imperial vanguard army, yet he has led his elite troops here."

"What exactly are they trying to do?"

Li Wu Hui's doubt lasted only a moment, and he quickly came up with a possibility.

Could it be that the Ghost King Emperor is upset about the Black Tiger Army's defeat?

Have they decided to end the war with the sect alliance quickly, at any cost?

If that's the case, then my previous plans were too slow!

Damn it, I need to speed things up!
