Chapter 357: The Darkness Falls

After listening to Luoxi's story, Shangguan Wan'er was overjoyed, while Xia Ao had a strange expression, and she really didn't know what to say.

This surprise came too suddenly......

What a surprising good news to be able to take down the entire Chunhua Holy Sect without spending a single soldier, and to have the first beauty in the world?

In addition, if the Chunhua Holy Sect could really be merged into Great Xia, it would be much easier to clean up the Cangying Emperor Dynasty and the Moro Emperor Dynasty, which meant that Great Xia would be able to completely unify the entire Nine Domains Continent within a few months!

"I don't want Sect Master Luo to be such a broad-minded hero, I admire it very much!"

"If the Chunhua Holy Sect can really throw away its burden and invest in Great Xia, then countless people will die less, and my Nine Domains Continent will also usher in a truly peaceful and prosperous era of great unification! Sect Master Luo's move is immeasurable merit! ”

Xia Ao sighed with admiration in his eyes, and then looked at Luo Xi meaningfully.

"Then I don't know, what is the reason why Sect Master Luo Shao insisted on coming in person? But I don't want to fall victim to righteousness, and I don't want to be my concubine according to the arrangement of the Luo sect leader? ”

Luo Xi smiled, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't misunderstand, Xi has no such intentions. ”

"Your Majesty is not only a peerless pride in the ages, but also a godless king whose achievements have shocked the past and the present, all of which make Xi infinitely admired and ashamed."

"If you are fortunate enough to be the concubine of Your Majesty, it will be a blessing for the third generation of Xi."

Speaking of this, Luo Xi paused, then pursed his cherry lips and continued: "Your Majesty, the reason why Xi insisted on coming in person is that I want to hear your personal promise, your promise to my father and the core personnel of the Chunhua Holy Sect. ”

"My father is dedicated to the Tao, and Xi can guarantee that after unification, my father will completely retire and will never get involved in any government affairs. Xi hopes that His Majesty will promise not to commit that act of unleashing on trumped-up charges. ”

"There are also the middle and high-ranking members of the Chunhua Holy Sect, on the premise that they have no misdeeds or violations of the law, Xi hopes that His Majesty can treat them fairly and not kill and punish them indiscriminately."

"This is Xi's request, and it is the only request, I wonder if Your Majesty may grant it?"

After listening to Luoxi's request, Xia Ao laughed heartily.

"I thought you were going to ask me for something, but that's all it was."

"Why, in your eyes, I am the kind of narrow-minded king who unloads the mill and kills the donkey, and the bird hides the bow?"

Luo Xiqiao's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly shook her head.

"Your Majesty, the brook has no such intentions. Xi believes in His Majesty's sage, but there are too many such facts in history, and many of them are the result of slanderous accusations. ”

"That's why Xi wants to ask Your Majesty to make a promise in person, so that even if someone frames and slanders in the future, Xi believes that Your Majesty will make a decision after verifying it."

Xia Ao shook his head and smiled, and after a while of silence, he nodded slowly.

"Okay, I can promise you."

Luo Xi's eyes lit up slightly, and his heart was relieved.

"Xi, thank you, Your Majesty!"

……

In mid-May, the Cangying Emperor Dynasty, the Chunhua Holy Sect, and the Moro Emperor Dynasty secretly reached an agreement to deal with the threat of Great Xia together, and once Great Xia sent troops to attack one of them, the other two parties must fully assist, so as to contain Great Xia and coexist together.

In the face of the terrifying threat of Great Xia, even though the people of the Cangying Emperor Dynasty and the Chunhua Holy Sect were very awkward about joining forces with the Moro Emperor Dynasty, and even though there were many people within the two sides who had quite a few complaints, this agreement was successfully reached.

At the beginning of June, Bactria suddenly sent troops.

Under Xia Ao's personal deployment, the Hanqi Legion continued to garrison the Qiulin defense line to contain the energy of the Moro Emperor Dynasty, and at the same time sent the Chaos Legion to the east of the Moro Emperor Dynasty to block its eastward exit.

At the same time, Xia Ao also mobilized millions of auxiliary troops as a supplement to these two legions.

In the direction of the Cangming Emperor Dynasty, Xia Ao ordered the Qiqi Legion to advance from the Tiandong Domain to the eastern border of the Cangying Emperor Dynasty, ordered the Bifang Legion to press from the southeast corner of the Heavenly Desolate Domain to the southwest border of the Cangying Emperor, and ordered the Gluttonous Legion to march from the northeast corner of the Heavenly Desolate Domain to the northwest border of the Cangying Emperor Dynasty.

As a supplement, each legion was equipped with around three million auxiliaries.

The war is about to break out, judging from the deployment of the Great Xia, it is clear that they want to clean up the Cangying Emperor Dynasty first and then try to do something else, which makes the people of the Cangying Emperor Dynasty full of depression, but they are helpless.

However, although the high-level of the Cangying Emperor Dynasty was shocked, they were not chaotic, because they had strong foreign aid.

The Moro Emperor Dynasty alone contained the two major armies of Great Xia, and there was no need or assistance to send troops to Cangying.

But they still have the foreign aid of the Chunhua Holy Sect, in the eyes of the people of the Cangying Emperor Dynasty, the only ones who really attack them should be the Qiqi Legion and the Bifang Legion, and the Gluttonous Legion should be used by Great Xia to contain the army of the Chunhua Holy Sect.

After discussion, it was finally decided that the Chunhua Holy Sect would send five million troops plus two million troops from the Cangying Emperor Dynasty to deal with the gluttonous army, while the other main forces of the Chunhua Holy Sect would need to enter the territory of Cangying and join forces with the Cangying army to fight against the other two legions of Great Xia.

To this day, no one dared to doubt the combat strength of the Great Xia army, so they had to be cautious.

However, when this battle really started, everyone was dumbfounded......

June 18, the imperial capital of Cangying, the imperial palace.

At this moment, in the military strategy hall of the imperial palace, the crowd was crowded, the voice was noisy, the military attache and the civil servants were in groups of three or five, constantly communicating and discussing something in front of different sand tables and maps, and everyone's expressions were extremely serious.

Because three days ago, the three legions of Great Xia were all in place, and according to intelligence, today, it was the day when Great Xia officially launched a full-scale attack!

On the throne, Cang Yongyuan's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of Nanmu, and his brows were tightly locked.

For some reason, he was so upset today that he couldn't calm down at all, as if something terrible was going to happen.

And this also made Cang Yongyuan even more uneasy, because this was clearly an extremely bad omen.

But reason also told him that even if his side would lose, it would not be possible to have an unacceptable situation. After all, their forces in every direction were above Bactria in every direction.

At one moment, a figure suddenly rushed in.

"Report! The Northwest Battlefield has begun! ”

Before long, another forbidden military captain rushed in.

"Report! The Eastern Battlefield and the Southwest Battlefield have started fighting at the same time! ”

Hearing these two news, everyone was shocked, and those who operated the sand table were the most nervous, because they needed to show the situation of the enemy and the enemy on the front line in a timely manner according to the information constantly coming back from the front line, so that His Majesty and the ministers could understand the battle situation on the front line and convey relevant recommended military strategic arrangements to the front line.

Time kept passing, and at the beginning, everything seemed to be normal, and the two sides were fighting back and forth, and the advantages and disadvantages were not very obvious.

However, all this changed with the sudden rush of a figure.

The man's face was pale and his eyes were full of panic, and his teeth chattered as he ran into the main hall, and he couldn't spit out a word for a long time.

Seeing this, everyone's eyelids jumped, and a very bad premonition was born in their hearts.

"What the hell is going on? Isn't that a quick talk?! ”

One of the generals couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily at the man with wide eyes.

The man was excited, and he said in horror: "The western and northwest battlefields, spring, spring... The army of the Chunhua Holy Sect suddenly turned against us and launched a surprise attack on our army from the side and from behind! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar of gasping air in the field, followed by all the sounds but quickly disappeared, making the hall a dead silence.

As far as the eye can see, everyone is either shocked, angry, or sluggish and desperate, all as if they have lost their souls.

Because it is clear to all of us what this news means!

The Great Xia army was already strong, but now the army of the Chunhua Holy Sect suddenly counterattacked, and the situation of its own army can be imagined.

The thought of that terrifying picture makes everyone shudder!

After a while, a somewhat broken cry of anger suddenly sounded.

"Quickly explore the other two battlefields!"

"That's not right! Immediately warn the commanders of the two battlefields and let them guard against the army of Chunhua! ”

However, before he could give the order, another figure ran in.

"Report! The Chunhua Holy Sect armies in the eastern and southwestern battlefields all defected to Great Xia and launched a deadly surprise attack on our army! ”

The sound fell, and the hall fell into deathly silence again, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating!

After a few breaths, as one of the ministers collapsed to the ground weakly, one figure after another sat down, their faces covered with dead ashes.

No one knew what the hell was going on, and they didn't know why the Chunhua Holy Sect was doing this.

But at this moment, this reason no longer seems to be important, because the fact is already doomed, under the complete defection of all the armies of the Chunhua Holy Sect, the fiasco of the Cangying Emperor Dynasty is completely doomed, and the immortals and demons cannot be recovered!

At this moment, almost without exception, two cold and ruthless words appeared in everyone's minds - it's over!

On the throne, Cang Yongyuan's face was blank, and he seemed to be very calm.

But after more than ten breaths, Cang Yongyuan rolled his throat violently, and opened his mouth to spit out a large mouthful of bright red blood. After that, Cang Yongyuan's eyes turned white and he fainted.

"Your Majesty!!"

Some people shouted in panic, some people hurriedly stepped forward to help, and some people shouted for the imperial doctor, and the entire hall was in chaos in an instant.

……

As the Chunhua army launched a ruthless backstab against the army of the underworld, the people of the world realized that the so-called tripartite secret alliance was a joke and a big lie!

And when this lie goes smoothly, the outcome of the war is already doomed.

In this battle, it was not only the main army of Cangying that was defeated, but also all the military spirit, fighting spirit and people's heart.

Therefore, when the war ended and the Great Xia army continued to advance, almost everywhere it went, there were few stubborn resistances.

At the beginning of July, the vanguard army of Great Xia approached the imperial capital of Cangming, and after Cang Yongyuan issued the last decree to order the city to surrender, he committed suicide on the throne.

The death of Cang Yongyuan and the fall of the Cangying Emperor Capital marked the fall of the Cangming Emperor Dynasty, and it also meant that the Great Xia Dynasty was only one step away from unification!
