Lord of All Gods

Chapter 1310: Chapter 1310 Turn Of Event

The foreign race also noticed that their army had come to a halt.

Upon receiving the news, Tuo Muhai immediately issued orders.

"Let the army begin to besiege them now! They must have found something. We can’t delay any longer, lest we let them go."

"Start the encirclement now! They might have discovered something. We can’t afford to wait any longer, lest they escape," Tuo Muhai ordered through a Sound Transmission Talisman.

"Yes!" Came the simple reply within the Sound Transmission Talisman.

Soon, Tuo Muhai learned that Ye Liuyun had intercepted the two reserved flanking routes he had planned. However, he had prepared for such a scenario.

The location he had chosen for closing the encirclement was heavily fortified. Even if something went wrong with the two flanking routes, it wouldn’t significantly impact his overall strategy.

Nevertheless, he dispatched two additional squads to reinforce the encirclement.

The foreign race, Ye Liuyun, Zuo Mu, and the Fourth Prince’s troops were all racing against time.

Meanwhile, most of Cheng Gang’s army, apart from a few cautious commanders who set up defensive measures, were resting and preparing for the upcoming attack.

Cheng Gang paid little attention to the foreign race’s attempt to encircle them.

"So what if they encircle us? With this puppet army, no encirclement can hold us back!"

His thoughts were indeed the thoughts of most commanders.

Before long, scouts reported that the foreign race was indeed encircling them.

"Huh? Ye Liuyun actually guessed right!" Cheng Gang chuckled.

Despite his confidence, he informed the outer perimeter of the army to prepare for defense.

Although it was rushed, some defense was better than none.

At the same time, he began to mobilize the puppet army, ready to move forward and tear open the encirclement.

Since they were surrounded anyway, it didn’t matter which direction they broke through. They might as well continue toward the heart of the foreign race’s territory.

Cheng Gang’s main forces prepared to launch a joint assault with the puppet army.

Emperor Xia learned about Cheng Gang’s actions and felt that his decision wasn’t unreasonable, so he chose not to intervene and observed the situation.

In the forefront of the army, Ghostaff Weapon Master was inspecting the puppets.

"How are the puppets holding up?" The soul cultivator commander who was accompanying him, asked.

"They are perfectly fine. These puppets were crafted with top-notch materials, and their bodies are robust," Ling Haokun replied while busy with his work. freёwebnovel.com

"That’s good to hear," The soul cultivator commander said before falling silent.

After a while, Ling Haokun noticed the lack of movement behind him. Just as he was about to turn around to check, he suddenly felt a dizzy spell.

"Do you know who I am?" The commander’s voice echoed again.

"My Lord!" Ghostaff hurriedly saluted the commander, his facial expression appearing strangely.

"Hmm, take your time to adjust," The commander nodded in satisfaction, observing Ghostaff’s reaction.

The commander was no ordinary figure. He was known as Song Fanjun, a well-known spirit master within the royal family, often referred to as Fanjun Spirit Master.

He excelled in controlling and attacking Divine Souls, including techniques like the Soul Searching Technique.

Emperor Xia assigned him as a commander to keep an eye on Ling Haokun.

Although Ling Haokun hadn’t betrayed the dynasty at the moment, Song Fanjun decided to take action prematurely.

"Activate the puppets and attack the Great Hsia Dynasty’s army!" Song Fanjun ordered Ling Haokun.

While Ling Haokun was skilled in Weapon-refining, he fell short in Divine Soul manipulation compared to Song Fanjun.

Despite being controlled by Song Fanjun, he comprehended everything happening around him. However, he couldn’t help but follow his orders involuntarily.

Hence, his facial expression appeared peculiar, and his speech sounded forced.

"All puppets, turn around and attack the Great Hsia Dynasty’s army."

Even though these puppets had their own Divine Souls, they obeyed Ling Haokun’s commands completely.

When he initially crafted these puppets, he intended for them to serve him after the war was over.

However, reality often defies expectations. Ling Haokun never imagined that the commander who had always been by his side would betray the dynasty.

"Don’t be surprised. I’ve long sided with the foreign race. If not for these puppets being useful, you would have died a long time ago! Now, the day has finally come! Haha, the Great Hsia Dynasty is destined to fall!"

Song Fanjun looked at Ling Haokun with a mocking laugh.

Although Ling Haokun now knew the truth, he couldn’t resist Song Fanjun’s commands. He had no choice but to follow him and obey his every order.

Meanwhile, the puppet army had changed direction and was now charging towards the Imperial Army.

This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.

When Cheng Gang and others noticed the puppet army turning back, they thought they were just adjusting their formation.

"What’s happening? Why are they coming back?"

They didn’t realize that the puppet army had malfunctioned; there was no preparedness whatsoever.

The puppet army easily reached the central command, starting their massacre. The Great Hsia Dynasty’s army fell into chaos.

At the same time, the foreign race forces surrounding them also arrived. Upon their arrival, they wasted no time and immediately launched an attack.

"What’s going on? Where are Song Fanjun and Ling Haokun?"

Cheng Gang wanted to find someone to ask about the situation.

"Something’s wrong! The puppet army has betrayed us!" A soldier shouted in panic.

Cheng Gang was dumbfounded.

He didn’t expect that the sharp knife he was relying on would be wielded at him.

"Emperor Xia, something has happened. The puppet army betrayed us and charged towards us. They’ve already charged towards the central army, and the army has been surrounded by foreign races. They’re currently being attacked..."

Fortunately, Cheng Gang was experienced. Despite his initial panic, he quickly calmed down and promptly reported the information to Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia was anxiously waiting for Cheng Gang’s report. Upon hearing the news, his mind buzzed in disbelief.

Who could have imagined that the trump card he had painstakingly developed would become a lethal weapon in the hands of the enemy?

"Where are Song Fanjun and Ling Haokun?" Emperor Xia immediately realized that these two individuals were the source of the problem. Either Ling Haokun had eliminated Song Fanjun, or Song Fanjun had taken control of Ling Haokun...

With this thought, Emperor Xia broke into a cold sweat. "It must be Song Fanjun controlling Ling Haokun!"

He was convinced that Song Fanjun had betrayed them because Song Fanjun was an extremely cautious person, and his realm and Divine Soul strength were far superior to Ling Haokun’s.

Emperor Xia immediately used a Sound Transmission Talisman to contact Song Fanjun for confirmation.

"Why did you betray the dynasty?" Emperor Xia asked directly.

Inside the Sound Transmission Talisman, Song Fanjun’s voice came through, "That is your dynasty, not mine! I’m not betraying; I’m carving out my own kingdom. Tuo Muhai promised me long ago that the name of this dynasty will change to the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and I will be its first emperor!"
