1407 The Great Wei Kingdom’s Change
This method of war was beyond their imagination. All their efforts were meaningless in the face of a nuclear bomb. Martial arts were not completely helpless against nuclear bombs. This was evident in the Infinite Demon Mountain that the Federation targeted.
However, the people of this world had never seen such technological means before. For a moment, they did not know how to defend themselves. It even exceeded the limits of their imagination.
“Great General Ye Fei is dead! Those who surrender will be spared death. Those who don’t will have the same ending as him!”
Just as the Imperial Army was dumbfounded, Chu Yunfan’s voice appeared at the right time.
The Imperial Army, which had been determined, finally could not hold out any longer. Other than a small number of elites who were stubbornly resisting, the army that had been fighting had collectively lost the will to fight. The sight of an army of a million soldiers being disarmed was incomparably shocking and spectacular.
“We won! We won!”
It was unknown who shouted, but the rebel army was completely shaken. Everyone cheered, and the entire battlefield became a sea of joy.
It had not been easy to win this battle. Although the two sides hadn’t truly fought for very long, the Imperial Army was far more powerful than theirs. In just a short time, more than 50 thousand people had died at the hands of the Imperial Army.
This was a terrifying matter. The difference in combat strength between the two sides could be imagined.
It could even be said that in front of the Imperial Army, which had the complete advantage in strength and numbers, if Chu Yunfan had not turned the tide at the end, the Imperial Army would not have needed much time to kill them.
It could be said that they were doing their best to fight for that sliver of possibility. Even though they knew that the possibility of this was too small, it was this extremely small possibility that allowed them to persist until the end.
And now, they had finally won. Their persistence had not been in vain. From today onwards, they were no longer rebels of the Imperial Court, but a true army of the Imperial Court.
Although the regime in the far away capital had not been overthrown, everyone knew that it would happen sooner or later.
Everyone cheered, but Wei Wuya and the other generals were still very clear-headed. They knew that it was still too early to celebrate, so they hurriedly organized their troops to accept the surrender.
There were many things involved in the surrender of nearly a million people. It was enough for them to be so busy that their feet did not touch the ground.
High up in the sky, Chu Yunfan nodded with satisfaction. This was exactly what he wanted to see. The reason why he chose to kill the Cores like Ye Fei first instead of using nuclear bombs was for this moment. To capture the bandits, they had to first capture the leader. They had to kill Ye Fei and the others first, then kill those ordinary Divine generals, crippling their ability to command. Finally, they would use a nuclear bomb to force down the Imperial army.
If it was the other way around, the Imperial Army would be much more patient when they were organized. He would only be able to force the Imperial Army to land if he slaughtered more than half of these people. This was something he was unwilling to do. After all, it would hurt the vitality of Great Wei. Since there was a better way, there was no need to do it.
While Wei Wuya and the others were still in a daze over the surrender, the news of the rebel army defeating the Imperial Army in the Battle of Conglong spread throughout all of Great Wei overnight. All of the factions were dumbfounded. The eighteenth prince had managed to pull off such an impossible feat!
The strength of both sides was not on the same level in any way. The only thing that could be considered balanced was probably Chu Yunfan’s cutting-edge strength. However, in this kind of confrontation between millions of troops, even a Void Core could not change the situation.
No one expected that Chu Yunfan would manage to turn the situation around. After Chu Yunfan killed Ye Fei, he forced the million strong army to surrender.
And that demonic weapon once again became the topic of discussion in the clamor. After slaughtering the Great Formless Sect, the nuclear bomb once again showed its might. This time, the result of its might was that it forced down nearly a million troops, instantly reversing the situation of both sides.
Everyone realized that with the victory of this crucial battle, Wei Wuya’s campaign to purge the Imperial Court had become a success. The Imperial Court no longer had the strength to suppress the rebellion. Of course, Great Wei did not only have a million troops. However, other than these million elites, most of them were local garrison troops. Although there were many of them, they were useless. Moreover, they could not be gathered in a short period.
If the original strategic initiative was with the Imperial Court, then the current strategic initiative was in Wei Wuya’s and Chu Yunfan’s hands. The Imperial Capital was like a ripe fruit, and they could attack whenever they wanted. Everything was up to them.
The skies of Great Wei was about to change. The Imperial Court was about to fall, while Wei Wuya had become the rising sun.
All the major forces were well-informed, and they quickly heard that the emperor had killed more than ten palace maids and eunuchs in the Imperial Capital. However, it was useless. The million strong army had been forced to surrender, and the Imperial Court had lost its main fighting force. Moreover, the death of those Divine and Core generals, as well as Great General Ye Fei, had made the Imperial Court unable to find anyone to lead the army.
The situation was now leaning toward Wei Wuya and Chu Yunfan’s favor. After this battle, there was a fundamental change in the hearts of the people. Overnight, the various major powers sent representatives to meet Wei Wuya and express their support for him. Some of the more explicit ones even urged Wei Wuya to ascend the throne as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Wei Wuya wasn’t that stupid. He knew that it wasn’t the right time to ascend the throne. The most important thing was to seize the Imperial Capital and become the rightful emperor of Great Wei.
With the support of the various major powers, Wei Wuya’s side had enough civil officials to manage the various regions. The initially restless cities of the south became well-behaved, no longer daring to disobey. The various factions that had been watching from the sidelines sent their descendants to join the army to clear the Imperial Court. The originally insufficient number of officers was also filled up in an instant.
It could be said that the situation was unprecedentedly good.
