Chapter 1991: Chapter 1995: The Demon Clan Makes a Move

Qin Tian could sense the unspoken meaning in Zhou Yang’s words.

If the hundred thousand troops were all given to Xu Kuan and Zuo Yuanhao, then Yueya City would have a total of approximately 550,000 soldiers.

This meant that Qin Tian had entrusted his entire foundation to Xu Kuan and Zuo Yuanhao.

If either of them had ulterior motives, Qin Tian would face total defeat, with no means of resistance.

Qin Tian stared at Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang also looked at Qin Tian and said quietly, "Boss, the hard-earned capital we’ve gained, just in case... I mean, human hearts are hard to predict, and if someone secretly contacts them, then we’re... we’d really have no countermeasures."

Qin Tian said, "Use people without suspicion; do not use people if you suspect them. The military authority lies with Xu Kuan, I trust Xu Kuan’s character. Besides, I also trust Che Aijun and Ye Kun under his command. Old Zhou, at this moment, if we still can’t unite, if we guard against each other, then facing the Imperial City, we’re bound to lose."

"I know... I’m just worried. Alright, I hope I’m overthinking this. Let’s hope everything goes smoothly." Zhou Yang nodded and didn’t say more about the matter.

"Report!"

Outside the military tent, a soldier urgently sought an audience.

Xiao Zhuang brought the soldier in, who surprisingly was a Demon Clan soldier.

"King Qin! King Qin! It’s bad!"

The Demon Clan soldier, upon seeing Qin Tian, immediately knelt down, looking agitated!

Seeing the man’s disheveled appearance and blood-stained face, Qin Tian’s demeanor suddenly tightened, "What happened? Which troop are you from?"

"Reporting to King Qin, I’m a soldier from the Demon Clan’s North Camp! We were ambushed by Demon Clan troops on the south bank of the Demon God River, suffering heavy casualties! I plead King Qin to send troops for rescue!"

The soldier panted heavily, seemingly exhausted.

"What’s going on exactly?" Hearing this, Qin Tian frowned.

The soldier replied, "We hadn’t detected any traces of Demon Clan troops before. Last night, the Demon God River suddenly surged, and then a large number of Demon Clan soldiers appeared outside Shizi City and attacked us by surprise. At midnight, we were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses... My general had me come for help; he’s already retreated to defend Beilang Mountain with the remaining forces."

"King Qin, please quickly dispatch troops for rescue, once the Demon Clan breaks through Beilang Mountain, both the Demon Clan and West State will be threatened!"

Zhou Yang stood beside Qin Tian and asked the soldier, "Did your general send anyone to the Demon Capital for help?"

"Yes, while retreating, he sent them. But the Demon Capital is too far from Beilang Mountain, even if His Majesty dispatches troops, they will certainly be too late... so..."

The soldier’s eyes showed pleading as he looked at Qin Tian.

Qin Tian nodded, "Do you know how many soldiers the Demon Clan has for this siege?"

"Possibly forty thousand to sixty thousand... It was night, we were caught off guard, there was no chance to see how many enemies there were," the soldier said.

"Alright, you rest first, I will immediately deliberate and then send troops." Qin Tian nodded in agreement.

After the soldier retreated, Zhou Yang said, "Boss, how are we going to rescue them? There are only fifty thousand troops in West Capital City, it’s impossible to dispatch people."

"The fifty thousand remain; this is West Capital City’s final safeguard. However, the Demon Clan has sent troops to fight the Demon Clan to aid us, now they are in danger, how can we sit by and do nothing? Fei’er would be heartbroken if she knew..."

Qin Tian looked at Zhou Yang, who also took a deep breath and said, "I understand this principle... Then, if it’s really impossible, should we have Old Fourth lead the Qin Family Army and one thousand soldiers to reinforce?"

"As long as we can quickly help the Demon Clan soldiers hold Beilang Mountain, once the reinforcement army from the Demon Capital arrives, they should be able to block the Demon Clan army. Alas, wasn’t there no news of the Demon Clan army before? How can the Demon Clan army appear as if out of nowhere, and suddenly be at our gates?"

Zhou Yang was curious.

Qin Tian said, "This is the strange and mysterious nature of the Demon Clan."

He thought for a moment and said, "There are no high-cultivation war generals left in West Capital City, Old Fourth cannot leave West Capital City. Mm... in that case, I’ll lead the Qin Family Army soldiers to go first at the fastest speed to stabilize the situation, and then we keep in touch, if the Demon Clan’s combat power is really too strong, will I ask you to send reinforcements?"

"This... Boss, won’t it be too risky for you to go personally? The Qin Family Army only has over two thousand people... just in case..."

Qin Tian dismissed Zhou Yang’s worries, "There’s no ’just in case’, if the Demon Clan breaks through Beilang Mountain, the entire West State will be greatly threatened. Our main forces are in Yueya City, the rear can’t withstand the Demon Clan’s offensive, so this time, even if it’s risky, I must exert all my efforts to resist the Demon Clan’s attack."

Zhou Yang also understood this principle, letting the Demon Clan break Beilang Mountain meant driving a wedge between the Demon Clan and West State, especially West State, facing an awkward situation of enemies on both sides.

At this time, the troop strength in West Capital City was indeed limited.

The entire West State had over 600,000 troops, with several tens of thousands scattered in other small cities for garrison defense, only a few thousand per city.

The main army of 600,000, Xu Kuan led 550,000 against the Imperial Capital Army in the Yueya City and Tiger City area, even Lin Yu’s True Qi Artillery Troop was reinforced over there.

West Capital City, as the capital of West State, must retain a certain force to prevent enemy surprise attacks, or enemies dispatch several late stage or peak Great Immortal Realm powerhouses, only tens of thousands of troops in West Capital would be enough to create upheaval.

So, after much consideration, Qin Tian ultimately decided to quickly take two thousand of the Qin Family Army to Beilang Mountain.

The remaining two hundred or so of the Qin Family Army, led by Duan Xiaodao, were responsible for the safety of Zhou Yang, Xiao Zhuang, and others in West Capital City, after all, attacked from multiple sides, if enemies dispatched top assassins to assassinate Zhou Yang and others with low cultivation, it would be defenseless.

The Demon Clan soldier led Qin Tian and the Qin Family Army, rushing towards Beilang Mountain.

After leaving the West State territory, the soldier guided Qin Tian and others all the way north.

By that time, it was already dusk, with overcast skies.

"Wait a minute."

In the dense forest, Qin Tian suddenly gestured with his hand, halting everyone.

The Demon Clan soldier asked, "King Qin, what happened? Why did we stop?"

Qin Tian’s gaze fixed on the Demon Clan soldier, his expression suddenly darkening, he shouted angrily, "Die!"

Whoosh!

As he spoke, True Qi blasted out, Qin Tian caught the Demon Clan soldier off guard and struck fiercely with his palm!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The Demon Clan soldier’s face was shocked, he shouted, "King Qin! Why do you want to kill me?"

As he spoke, he dodged several times, making Qin Tian’s strike miss, he continuously retreated several steps, creating distance from Qin Tian, he said, "King Qin, what’s wrong with you? Why suddenly attack me?"
