Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

Of course, they didn't openly surround the mansion; instead, they quietly arrived nearby and assigned positions.

The army of the Great Wilderness Territory did not immediately clear out the garrison and the Flying Bear Divine Army of Mei County, nor did they plunder the resources and wealth that Dong Zhuo had painstakingly accumulated. Instead, they headed straight for the city lord's mansion.

They followed the route provided by Duan Wei and did not encounter the defending troops directly. Therefore, there was basically no fighting, and Mei County remained peaceful.

The Bingzhou army, which was supposed to attack the city, is now holding back.

Outside Mei County, in the mountains where the Bingzhou army was hiding, Zhang Liao was frowning, his face full of hesitation.

He wasn't afraid of death, nor was he lacking in resolve; his hesitation stemmed from his knowledge of the unpredictable nature of the 800,000-strong army's advance.

He feared that Dong Zhuo would deploy more troops to defend Mei County than expected.

He feared that Mei County was a trap!

A trap that led to the downfall of the Bingzhou army and the demise of Lü Bu!

Even if the situation in Mei County was as we knew beforehand, it was still quite difficult to defend. It would require the sacrifice of many brothers from Bingzhou to capture the city walls, but if successful, the sacrifice would be worthwhile. The problem now is that even sacrificing more people would not yield results.

Recently, scouts have discovered more troops and ships, and even on rivers that are not very wide, there are many boats. Mei County has become a more terrifying vortex than Chang'an City!

"Perhaps we should wait a bit..." Zhang Liao weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

He wanted to wait for the outcome in Chang'an before launching his attack on the city. Once Dong Zhuo was killed, the morale of the Xiliang army would be greatly reduced, making the attack easier and eliminating any fear of being purged afterward.

If Dong Zhuo hadn't died during the crisis in Chang'an, their attack on the city would have been considered a betrayal.

Dong Zhuo showed no mercy to traitors.

Zhang Liao dared not make any rash moves, and the other troops dared not move either, because the Bingzhou army outnumbered them, and if the Bingzhou army had not betrayed Dong Zhuo, then things would be terrible.

Therefore, the current situation is strangely peaceful.

Huang Zhong and the others were unaware that their move had caused Zhang Liao to hesitate. Their infiltration into the city still required an attack from the outside to hold back most of the defenders. Otherwise, once they captured Diao Chan, the difficulty of breaking out would increase tenfold!
Outside the city lord's mansion in Mei County, Huang Zhong frowned as he gazed outwards: "What's going on? Zhang Liao and the others haven't attacked the city yet?"

At this moment, he was also somewhat worried. The thought that Mei County was a trap, a deadly trap targeting the Great Wilderness territory, involuntarily surfaced in his mind!

A terrifying solemnity permeated the town of Mei, as if sharp, pointed weapons were pressed against their heads!
"Hansheng, let's attack directly, we can't wait any longer..." Taishi Ci suggested.

“The Resurrection Tower is not in the City Lord’s Mansion, and the Flying Bear Army is not nearby either. With only 300,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, they cannot stop our four legions from charging without terrain advantage!” Taishi Ci said solemnly.

The Resurrection Tower was placed elsewhere because it was needed to frequently revive Xiliang cavalry; otherwise, it would disturb the peace of the city lord's mansion.

The 100,000 Flying Bear Divine Army is currently holding their ground there.

Originally, they would have needed to pass by the location of the Resurrection Tower to enter the city lord's mansion from outside the city. However, in order to avoid war, they took a much longer route, which is why they arrived today.

"Ziyi, do you think Dong Zhuo might be very cruel, setting up a terrifying magic array within the city that prevents resurrection? Even if his own men are killed and cannot be resurrected, he might still take a piece of flesh from the enemy?" Huang Zhong asked with a worried look on his face and sighed slowly.

Upon hearing this, Taishi Ci's expression tightened slightly. It was indeed possible that Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were capable of doing such a thing.

Within the city of Mei, there were actually many arrangements and details that even the core garrison commander, Duan Wei, was unaware of. This was a hint given to him by Duan Wei…

"Hansheng, are you worried that the Bingzhou army and the Xiliang army outside might turn against each other?" Yu Jin asked with a solemn expression.

"Our lord didn't warn us, so there shouldn't be any major problems, right?" Le Jin asked, his brows furrowed.

"Brothers, I don't make decisions on my own. The four legions should vote by raising their hands: should we attack the mansion immediately or wait for the battle to break out outside? Duan Wei has also prepared a backup plan. There is a large mansion not far away, which is used to store grain. It has very few guards, and we can easily take it as a foothold," Huang Zhong said solemnly.

Huang Zhong was decisive, but when it came to truly terrifying issues, he couldn't make decisions lightly.

"Wen Ze, Wen Qian, Xuan Gao, you two speak first," Huang Zhong said softly.

"Attack immediately!" Yu Jin declared decisively.

"Attack!!" Yue Jin and Zang Ba shouted in unison.

"My opinion is the same, attack!!" Finally, Huang Zhong also issued the decision on behalf of the Nine Suns Legion.

Even if there are ambushes ahead, and even if their retreat route involves facing the Xiliang and Bingzhou armies, as long as they work together, they can fight their way out!

And so, the four core legions of the Great Wilderness Territory—the Azure Sun Legion, the Thunder Legion, the Mount Tai Legion, and the Nine Suns Legion—launched a direct attack on the Mei County City Lord's Mansion tonight!
Soon, the group dispersed, leading their troops in preparation for attacking the government office.

In a pavilion next to the Resurrection Tower in the distance, Duan Wei sensed the sharp edge and overwhelming killing intent emanating from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, and smiled with satisfaction: "Decisive enough!"

Their judgment was not affected by external variables; this is the elite force of the Great Wilderness Territory.

"The city lord's mansion's external formations and defenses have paved the way for you. I hope you can succeed," Duan Wei said with a sigh.

He was familiar with the outer quarters of the city lord's mansion, but apart from Dong Zhuo, no one else knew what was inside the inner quarters.

It wouldn't be surprising if the national guardian beast, the Heavenly Black Emperor Dragon, appeared there!

Putting aside his thoughts about the City Lord's Mansion for the time being, Duan Wei looked towards the Flying Bear Divine Army stationed at the edge of the square not far away.

The flying bear totem flag fluttered in the wind, surrounded by densely packed military camps stretching for miles, enclosing the huge square.

In fact, the entire huge square was a training ground, with the Tower of Resurrection standing in the middle.

Duan Wei looked into the distance and saw the familiar, ancient tower that shimmered with a faint, misty light.

The tower is at least ten zhang tall, mostly constructed of red glazed tiles. The ancient tower rises in nine tiers, wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. The base is cast from a strange blue stone, engraved with images of mountains and rivers. Each tier is surrounded by carved corridors, vermilion railings and jade pillars, and the glazed tiles shimmer with golden light in the sunlight. At the top of the ninth tier is an octagonal observation deck. When leaning on the railing, the wind blows through the tower, and the clear sound of bells disperses the thin mist in the mountains.

This tower doesn't seem to be a building in a soul space territory; rather, it resembles an elegant and noble tower.

Even Duan Wei himself didn't know the name of this tower, let alone its attributes. This Resurrection Tower was one of Dong Zhuo's most core secrets.

He hasn't been inside since he last entered to bind his soul.

Dong Zhuo didn't really trust his generals, even these veteran generals from Xiliang. There were many secrets they didn't know.

However, as dragon lords, it's perfectly normal for them to be a bit shrewd, and they wouldn't complain.

Looking at the tower, Duan Wei lightly leaped down from the pavilion and walked towards the tower.

The entire training ground was heavily guarded, with 100,000 Flying Bear Divine Army soldiers, 500,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and 200,000 logistics troops.

It should be noted that the city walls of Mei County were already heavily guarded, and the city should have been very safe, but Dong Zhuo still stationed a large number of troops in key locations.

Duan Wei led a troop of Xiliang cavalry on a rapid patrol of the training ground, giving instructions to the guards at various key locations.

"Boom!!" Just then, a commotion suddenly came from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Whoosh! Pop!" An arrow pierced the sky and exploded.

That's a distress signal!!
"Who dares to attack the City Lord's Mansion?!" Duan Wei shouted.

"Assemble! Assemble!!!" Duan Wei shouted.

Five hundred thousand Xiliang cavalrymen quickly assembled and followed behind Duan Wei.

The 100,000 Flying Bear Divine Army was also on alert, all donning armor and military gear, but they had no intention of assembling to aid the city lord's mansion. The leading commander glanced contemptuously in Duan Wei's direction and then ignored him.

"Whoosh~~Crack!~~" At that moment, three arrows piercing the clouds exploded in the sky at the same time.

This means the city lord's mansion is almost completely captured!
"General, hurry, let's march!" Duan Wei's deputy urged.

"Alright, return to your posts and get back to your positions. All soldiers, be alert. Someone will handle the matter at the City Lord's Mansion." Duan Wei glanced at the Flying Bear Divine Army commander, a fourth-level Divine General, in the distance and waved his hand.

Their duty is to guard the Tower of Resurrection, and they will not forget their mission even if the city lord's mansion is captured.

This was specifically instructed by our lord, Dong Zhuo!
The commander of the Flying Bear Divine Army was slightly surprised to see that Duan Wei and the others had not gone to their aid. Duan Wei was indeed not a fool.

Someone attacked the city lord's mansion, possibly using a diversionary tactic.

If we were to actually go to their aid, we would fall into the enemy's trap.

However, what no one knew was that their enemy was not using a diversionary tactic, but actually stormed the city lord's mansion and captured Diao Chan!
The perspective returns to the city lord's mansion.

Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci formed a small team and easily crossed the inner city wall of the city lord's mansion, and began to clear out specific locations.

The outer walls of the city lord's mansion were easily captured by the army of the Great Wilderness Territory. The 800,000-strong army entered the city lord's mansion and surrounded the inner palace.

Looking at the city lord's mansion from the outside, there's no sign of an attack...

Having a mole is really scary...

With the 800,000-strong army ready and Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci's targeted elimination efforts, the best time to attack the capital had arrived!
Without the sound of horns or drums, the 800,000-strong army, like hungry wolves entering a sheepfold, launched their attack on the capital amidst low shouts.

Without holding back or taking prisoners, the soldiers of the Great Wilderness Territory immediately launched a massacre.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!" Although the Xiliang army stationed there did not know why enemies suddenly appeared in the inner palace while there was no commotion outside, they saw countless enemies suddenly appear from the darkness and frantically slaughter their comrades.

"Whoosh!!" Before the Earth-ranked general who had shouted could make a move, a terrible arrow pierced through the night and went straight through his chest.

"Whoosh! Pop!" A cloud-piercing arrow rose from the inner palace and exploded in the sky.

The enemy began sending signals... However, the frenzied attack of 800,000 troops easily overwhelmed the unsuspecting defenders...

High-ranking military officers such as Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, Yu Jin, Yue Jin, and Zang Ba did not engage in battle with the ordinary garrison, but instead stormed into the main hall of the city lord's mansion.

"Strange, according to intelligence, isn't Diao Chan right here in the hall?" Huang Zhong frowned as he looked at the empty hall.

"Buzz!~~~" Just then, a strange wave rippled out.

The next moment, the auras of Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, and the others plummeted rapidly.

Nine-Element Divine Generals, Eight-Element Divine Generals... Three-Element Divine Generals!!

Indeed, under the influence of that strange fluctuation, everyone's cultivation level was frozen at the Three Yuan Divine General level!

"Tap tap!~~" At this moment, hundreds of figures emerged from the back hall!
Diao Chan wasn't there, yet a formation was activated, and mysterious guards appeared. Could this really be a setup?!

Leading them were three burly figures, whose auras had actually reached the level of Eighth-Rank Divine Generals!

"What?! Three Eight-Element Divine General puppets?!" Huang Zhong exclaimed slightly upon seeing the three figures.

Because he couldn't sense the life force of the three figures.

"Click click click!~~~" The three figures began to sway, and a piercing friction sound came, as if an old machine that had been around for hundreds of years was being reactivated and constantly being broken in.

“Bronze armor…so familiar…their eyes all gleam with a bluish light, these are…these are bronze divine general terracotta warriors!!!” Taishi Ci exclaimed as if he had seen them before.

Everyone was slightly surprised upon hearing this. They had read about bronze terracotta warriors in ancient books, but they had never seen them in person, nor even seen any illustrations.

“No wonder they weren’t suppressed by that strange divine power,” Taishi Ci said in a deep voice, as if he knew something.

"We're currently suppressed to the level of a Three-Element Divine General, but they're actually Eight-Element Divine Generals. Can we fight them?" Le Jin asked in a low voice to Taishi Ci, who seemed to know something.

"We have to fight with all our might! We can't use our Yuanling Divine Realm and others, and the opponent is a bronze divine general terracotta warrior produced from the same three-headed tunnel. They have special bonds and will be difficult to defeat," Taishi Ci said quickly.

"Wenze, you go search for Diaochan, Ziyi and I will hold them off!"

The "them" that Huang Zhong referred to not only included the bronze terracotta warriors with three heads and eight divine generals, but also hundreds of other bronze terracotta soldiers. The aura emanating from the others was also quite strong; eight of them were at the low-level divine general level, and the other hundreds were at the Heaven and Earth level... Dong Zhuo really went to great lengths to protect Diao Chan!

Dong Zhuo's true strength was truly terrifying!
To waste such a terrifying trump card for a mere woman is incredibly arrogant!

"Not only is there a powerful array sealing it off, but there's also such a formidable defensive line. Dong Zhuo's desire for Diao Chan is even stronger than we imagined," Huang Zhong said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Taishi Ci smiled slightly: "Hehe... Perhaps Dong Zhuo is on guard against us... The incidents involving Empress He and Empress Dong have served as a wake-up call for him."

Even though it was a three-way battle against an eight-way battle, and there were other obstacles, Taishi Ci was not afraid at all, and instead felt much more relaxed.

He could still accept this trump card.

"Roar!~~~" A bronze terracotta warrior at the level of an Eighth-Rank Divine General roared and then led hundreds of figures to rush towards the entrance of the hall.

Along the way, the tables, decorations, court musical instruments, and so on were all reduced to dust...

Yu Jin, Le Jin, and Zang Ba did not linger; they retreated directly and left the hall.

They had a more important task to complete—to find Diao Chan!
Shouts of battle echoed from inside the mansion. The guards were busy stopping the intruders, and the three of them, acting suspiciously, went unnoticed by the hasty guards.

"Whoosh!~~" At this moment, three arrows shot into the sky at the same time.

Ignoring everything else, the three of them searched for Diao Chan based on the clues provided by Duan Wei.

Dong Zhuo's luxurious master bedroom was empty... It contained many treasures, but Yu Jin and the others didn't have time to steal them.

There wasn't one in Diao Chan's maid's quarters either...

I went around to the back hall, but found nothing there either...

Left with no other option, the three had to split up and conduct a thorough search.

Yu Jin had just finished searching a courtyard, but found nothing.

"Where did they go? Did they really hide? Is there some secret room underground?!" Yu Jin wondered as he walked.

Just then, he smelled a fragrance, the fragrance of lotus flowers.

As he walked through the gate, he saw a pond of lotus flowers swaying in the breeze.

In the middle of the lotus pond sits a lotus pavilion.

Inside the pavilion, a figure seemed to be appearing and disappearing.

Yu Jin, not knowing what was going on, felt a tightness in his heart and quickly walked up the plank road to the lotus pavilion.

A graceful figure dressed in a pink gauze dress was playing the zither.

She was playing the piano, but the music seemed not to come out at all, which was extremely strange.

Yu Jin frowned. Although he sensed something was amiss, he didn't hesitate and stepped into the lotus pavilion in order to complete the task quickly.

But somehow, in a daze, he found himself at the gate of the courtyard, and that strange fragrance once again wafted into his nose.

Yu Jin felt a sudden heaviness all over his body, as if he had lost something, and it felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

Ignoring his physical ailment, Yu Jin stepped back into the courtyard and rushed towards the lotus pavilion.

"Don't come in... This place will weaken your luck and destiny..." This time, although he didn't hear the sound of the zither, he heard a faint female voice in his ears.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin trembled. His foot, poised to step onto the lotus pavilion, remained planted. Though he was anxious, it didn't mean he was blindly loyal or mindless.

Dong Zhuo's final protection for Diao Chan cannot be broken by recklessness!

"Does the Goddess have a solution?" Yu Jin originally wanted to address Diao Chan as "Madam," since everyone had already started to call her that in private. However, fearing it would seem abrupt, Yu Jin did not call her "Madam" but instead used the honorific title "Goddess."

"Who are you people?" Diao Chan's voice rang out again.

"This humble general is Yu Jin, a junior officer under General Lin Mu." Yu Jin confessed his identity without hesitation.

"What? Lin Mu?!" Diao Chan was slightly startled, as if she was quite surprised to hear that Yu Jin was one of Lin Mu's men.

"How could this be? I was wrong... I was wrong..." Diao Chan's voice rang out again, but it sounded somewhat strange.

"Goddess, where did I go wrong? Could you please point it out?"

"If breaking this formation requires you to sacrifice your destiny, your fate, and your heavenly status, are you willing?" Diao Chan's voice rang out slowly after a moment of contemplation.

"Is there really no other way?" Yu Jin was shocked upon hearing this.

"No……"

……

Where exactly is it hidden?

"You don't have any in your area?"

When Le Jin and Zang Ba met, their faces were full of anxiety.

The longer it drags on, the more detrimental it will be to the Great Wilderness Territory!

The arrow that pierced the clouds was seen not only by the garrison of Mei County, but also by the foreign soldiers lying in ambush outside.

Unrest has broken out inside Mei County!
One of the chess players has made his move!

"Bang!!!" Just then, a dull thud was heard.

They looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jin Jing lying on the ground not far away.

Upon seeing this, Yue Jin and Zang Ba's expressions changed drastically, and they quickly went over to help him up.

"Found it!" Yu Jin said weakly.

"What happened? Why has your aura become like a flickering lamp?" Yue Jin was very familiar with Yu Jin and immediately noticed Yu Jin's abnormality.

"Xuan Gao, go in and bring the goddess out," Yue Jin said immediately.

"it is good!"

A short while later, Zang Ba came out with a figure dressed in armor.

Upon closer inspection, one will find that he is wearing Yu Jin's armor.

"Excuse me!" Zang Ba used the spirit tablet to summon his mount, then quickly pulled the armored figure onto the mount. He then summoned his own mount and prepared to leave.

Anyway, I've got Diao Chan, the mistress of the house!
(Only one update tonight.) (End of Chapter)
