Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Upon hearing the words of the Yue Emperor, the ministers in the Imperial Study Room were immediately shocked. The monarch of the Black Dragon Country personally leading troops to attack Great Jue?

This...

Is the Black Dragon Country serious this time?

Previously, the Black Dragon Country only ever made minimal military movements, with their monarch mostly staying in the capital.

Why so serious this time?

What do we do now?

The main force of Great Jue's army has been dispatched to the east, and there's no defense in the west whatsoever; there's simply no way to resist an attack from the west by the Black Dragon Country.

After all, the monarch of the Black Dragon Country is a Celestial, which is definitely a threat to Great Jue. If Great Jue doesn't defend its rear, even if they win on the frontline, they could still collapse due to a stealth attack from the Black Dragon Country.

Even if Great Jue doesn't fall into disarray, it will certainly suffer a heavy blow, and with the appearance of the Black Dragon Country, securing a victory in a decisive battle just got a lot more difficult.

It was at this moment that a voice, cold but with a hint of captivating allure, floated in through the window of the Imperial Study Room.

"I didn't expect you all to be frightened by a mere Black Dragon Country."

Everyone looked toward the voice and saw Mu Yunxi leaning on the windowsill.

Seeing Mu Yunxi appear, the Yue Emperor calmly said, "Oh? Does this mean you have a solution, State Preceptor?"

Mu Yunxi replied, "Just send two battalions trained in the Supreme Soaring Dragon Array to the west, and as for the four Celestials that might appear at the front, I will hold them off for you."

"While I can't simply strike offensively, there should be no problem in helping you fend off their attacks."

Upon hearing what Mu Yunxi said, the Yue Emperor thought for a moment. If this woman really was as powerful as she claimed, then perhaps it was worth a try.

Moreover, there were no other options available at the moment. If the Black Dragon Country launched a surprise attack from behind, it could very well lead to the failure of the battle array.

So, it was better to send two battalions to hold off the invasion of the Black Dragon Country's hundred thousand troops.

The soldiers of Great Jue were now essentially masters of the Supreme Soaring Dragon Array, even more skilled than the Barbarian Tribe soldiers, who had trained in the array for quite some time but couldn't compare to Great Jue's forces.

This was hardly surprising, since although Great Jue's military discipline might not match Daxia's, it was still far superior to that of the Barbarian Tribes, allowing Great Jue's soldiers to rapidly consolidate their power when deploying the Supreme Soaring Dragon Array.

At this moment, the Yue Emperor thought that if two battalions were dispatched to the west, there was a high probability of holding off the Black Dragon Country.

Since the Black Dragon Country didn't have the Supreme Soaring Dragon Array and had only one Celestial, all they needed to do was to keep the Black Dragon monarch tied down.

With this in mind, the Yue Emperor immediately wrote two military orders, arranging for two battalions adept in the Supreme Soaring Dragon Array to intercept the invading army of the Black Dragon Country.

After several hours of discussion, the Yue Emperor and his ministers finally decided on the location for the decisive battle.

The chosen location for the decisive battle was in Shao Hai County of the Dayue Dynasty, a sparsely populated area with vast lands, devoid of any significant towns. Even if the power of Celestial combat caused immense destruction, it would not inflict too much damage upon Great Jue.

With the location for the decisive battle confirmed, all that was left was to wait.

A few days later.

In Guangyuan City of the Daxia Dynasty.

Lu Chen, clad in black-golden armor, was looking at a map in the courtyard when a soldier rushed in, seemingly in great haste, "Your Majesty, we have a result!"

The soldier was extremely excited, appearing as though he had just learned some excellent news.

Lu Chen looked up at the soldier and asked, "Where?"

The soldier handed the intelligence in his hand to Lu Chen, then continued, "In Shao Hai County!"

Hearing the soldier's response, Lu Chen did not immediately open the intelligence in his hands, but looked down at the rough map of Great Jue, lost in thought.

After a long while, Lu Chen said to the soldier, "Summon all the generals immediately for a military conference!"

Since Great Jue had already decided on the location for the decisive battle, there was no need for Great Sum to continue waiting.

The reason why Lu Chen had stopped at Guangyuan City without moving forward was that he was waiting for Great Jue to decide on the location of the decisive battle.

Lu Chen also did not want to set the battleground in a populous area; a battle between Celestials had enormous destructive power. Moreover, this time there were several Celestials, not just one, and he also possessed the Slayer Spear.

Once the Slayer Spear was used, the destruction it caused would be even greater.

To Lu Chen, the population of Great Jue was also a resource; he did not wish for Great Jue to suffer too great a loss of its people.

In not too many years, the prohibitions of the Misty World would disappear. At that time, who knew how many soldiers would be needed to resist the invasion of powers from the Misty World.

The Military Generals of Great Sum, hearing that a military conference was to be convened, knew that Great Jue must have determined the location for the decisive battle. They quickly arrived at Lu Chen's courtyard and initiated a series of discussions.

When the ordinary troops would take the field, when the Celestials would appear, and what to do after the battle between the Celestials had finished—these were all deliberated over in the military conference.

After the military conference concluded, Lu Chen personally led Great Sum's army of five hundred thousand men straight toward Great Jue's Shao Hai County.

Both Great Jue and Great Sum tacitly understood each other, with the main force of Great Jue also converging towards Shao Hai County and quickly completing its assembly.

One month later, Lu Chen's army of five hundred thousand reached Shao Hai County, only to find the Dayue Army had long been waiting.

The forces of the two countries met in a basin, and the atmosphere immediately became tense, with a great battle between them about to erupt.

Lu Chen did not hurry to attack; instead, he mounted his horse and looked at the opposing side through binoculars.

He had never seen the Yue Emperor, nor had he seen Mu Yunxi, so he was somewhat curious. He wanted to know what these two women looked like and to understand their real strength.

However, the Yue Emperor was sitting in a huge carriage drawn by sixteen tall black warhorses, each of which was more than double the size of the horse Lu Chen was riding.

Of course, Lu Chen's interest was not in the horses. The door of the carriage obstructed his view, and there was no way for Lu Chen to see what the Yue Emperor inside the carriage looked like.

Just then, a breeze blew across the no man's land between the two armies, stirring up dust and making the air unusually hot.

At this moment, a cold, domineering voice came from within the Yue Emperor's carriage, "I have long heard that the Sum Emperor is extraordinarily handsome, like a Banished Immortal descending to earth. Seeing you today, indeed, your reputation is well-deserved!"

Before meeting Lu Chen, the Yue Emperor was filled with curiosity about him, considering his situation somewhat unbelievable.

Her good sister was not without experience of men, nor had she not seen good men. In the sect they used to belong to, there were countless exceptional and talented disciples.

And there were also many men who pursued Wu Junwan, but she had never consented.

Why, after leaving the Misty World, did Wu Junwan choose Lu Chen as her man, and even planned to bear his children?

At this point, the Yue Emperor, through a small hole in the carriage window, had gotten a clear view of Lu Chen and was now partly understanding why her good sister liked this man.

This man was indeed different from ordinary men; his figure clad in battle armor and his hair flowing, a sight that could hardly resist captivating a woman. Even the Empress herself thought that having this man as a consort would be completely unproblematic.

At that moment, from a distance, Lu Chen heard the mature voice coming from inside the carriage and his heart skipped a beat. Without mentioning anything else, just that voice alone was truly pleasant to the ear.

Lu Chen then said, "I have also heard that the Empress of Dayue is as beautiful as a celestial, a rare sight in this world. It is unfortunate that separated by doors and windows, I cannot have the honor of beholding your grace!"
