If I send you to join the army and marry a woman, will you conquer the Empress?

Qin Feng felt very pleased as he looked at Lu Jiaojiao kneeling in front of him.

This woman is not only smart and beautiful, but also very reliable.

The two had initially agreed that she would bring 50,000 soldiers from Quanzhou as her dowry and seize power from her father.

Now they've brought over 100,000 troops from the entire southeast.

Her efficiency and skill certainly justify the position of equal wife that I promised her.

Qin Feng stepped forward and helped Lu Jiaojiao up.

"You've come at the perfect time; what crime have you committed?"

Qin Feng looked into her eyes and spoke gently.

Lu Jiaojiao stood up and looked at Qin Feng's handsome face, her heart filled with joy.

"My lord, what do you intend to do with these northern barbarians and Qin people? Just say the word, and I'll have my soldiers chop them into mincemeat!"

Lu Jiaojiao lowered her voice and whispered in Qin Feng's ear.

Qin Feng patted the back of her hand, turned to look at Ying Wuji and Tuoba Zhan, and sneered: "No rush. This show has only just begun."

Before everyone could recover from the shock brought by the southeastern army,

"Waaah—"

Then another strange conch shell horn sounded.

This sound was completely different from the bugle call that the Great Xia border army had just sounded. It carried a salty, fishy smell of the sea breeze and sounded mournful and very strange.

Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.

At the gap in the palace wall on the west side of the palace.

A large crowd surged in like a tidal wave.

The leader was a petite woman with delicate features.

She wore lightweight, soft armor specially made in Japan and held a long samurai sword in her hand.

Behind her were tens of thousands of strangely dressed soldiers.

These people had white cloth strips tied around their heads, wore armor made of bamboo strips and leather, carried sharp samurai swords, and wore wooden clogs that made a "clack-clack" sound when they walked.

When Ying Wuji saw these people, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

He recognized these people at a glance.

"Japanese? What are these barbarians from overseas doing in the capital of Great Xia?"

Ying Wuji roared inwardly.

He felt the world had gone completely mad.

Japan is isolated overseas, separated from the Central Plains by a vast ocean, and even merchant ships rarely come here.

Now, tens of thousands of Japanese troops have stormed into the Great Xia Imperial Palace!

What exactly is going on?

The people of Great Xia were all dumbfounded.

"Aren't these people from Japan? What are they doing here?"

"Are they also here to take advantage of the chaos?"

"Oh no! We just drove away the wolves, and now the tigers are here! What are we going to do?!"

Just as everyone was filled with terror, the leading Japanese woman, Sakurai Yuki, jogged up to Qin Feng.

She didn't even glance at the Great Xia subjects around her, nor at the Northern Barbarian wolf riders; her eyes were only on Qin Feng.

Sakurai Yuki walked up to Qin Feng, knelt down on both knees, and lay face down on the ground.

She put the samurai sword aside, placed her hands on the ground, and slammed her forehead heavily against the bluestone slab.

"The Japanese army is assembled and awaits your orders!"

Sakurai Yuki raised her head and looked at Qin Feng, her voice charming yet tinged with fervor.

She then shouted loudly, "This servant is willing to die for her master! The entire Japanese race is willing to die for her master!"

The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone gaped, their jaws practically dropping to the floor.

Master? Servant?

The leader of the mighty Japanese army actually knelt down before Qin Feng in front of so many people and called him master!

She even called herself a slave!

The old Grand Tutor rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing. He turned to a minister beside him and asked, "Did I hear that right? What was that Japanese woman's name for General Qin?"

The minister swallowed hard and stammered, "Call...call me Master. She said the entire Japanese people will die for General Qin."

The people of Great Xia looked at each other in bewilderment, and then erupted into even more enthusiastic cheers.

They didn't care what these Japanese people did; as long as they listened to Qin Feng, they were one of their own!

Ying Wuji felt a surge of blood rushing to his chest, a sweet taste in his throat, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He pointed at Sakurai Yuki, his finger trembling.

"Qin Feng! What have you done?! You actually colluded with the Japanese!"

Ying Wuji roared, unable to accept this reality.

He considered himself to be unparalleled in talent and wisdom, believing he could manipulate everyone in the world.

As a result, Qin Feng quietly subdued Japan and even made them willingly become his slaves. This was practically humiliating him with his intelligence!

Qin Feng completely ignored Ying Wuji's barking.

He looked at Sakurai Yuki kneeling on the ground and nodded in satisfaction.

Since being conquered by him, the Japanese princess had indeed become obedient and compliant, always following his orders.

We sent her with her troops this time just in case, but we didn't expect her to arrive so quickly.

"Get up. Have your men block the west side completely, not a single fly shall escape."

Qin Feng coldly issued the order.

"Yes, ma'am!"

Sakurai Yuki respectfully agreed, stood up, turned to the Japanese samurai, and loudly gave orders in Japanese.

Tens of thousands of Japanese samurai immediately dispersed, completely surrounding the west side of the palace.

They gripped their samurai swords with both hands, their eyes fixed fiercely on the Northern Barbarian Wolf Riders and the Qin Iron Eagle Swordsmen.

Tuoba Zhan felt a chill run down his spine as he watched this scene.

One hundred thousand troops from the southeast were on the front, while tens of thousands of Japanese samurai were on the west.

The situation was completely out of his control. He didn't even have the energy to curse anymore; only one thought remained in his mind:

It seems this matter is unlikely to be resolved amicably.

however,

The third wave of shock followed immediately.

The earth began to tremble violently.

This tremor was even more intense than when the Southeast Army marched.

The pebbles on the ground were constantly bouncing, and the tiles on the palace walls made a clattering sound as they fell to the ground and shattered.

Everyone thought it was an earth dragon turning over, and they were so frightened that they hid everywhere.

Just then, the palace gate on the east side of the palace was smashed open by a tremendous force.

The two heavy iron-clad wooden doors collapsed with a crash, kicking up clouds of dust.

As the dust settled, a colossal object appeared in everyone's sight.

That was a massive war elephant!

The war elephant's skin was rough and thick, and the tips of its two long tusks were covered with sharp steel, stained with dark red blood.

On the back of the war elephant was a magnificent chair.

Empress Jiang Ruoshui of Nanzhao, dressed in a magnificent imperial robe, sat regally on her chair.

Her face was stunningly beautiful, and her brows exuded an unassailable aura of dominance.

She held a jewel-encrusted scepter in her hand, her gaze sweeping coldly over the entire room.

Behind her were tens of thousands of elite Nanzhao soldiers clad in rattan armor.

These rattan-armored soldiers carried poisoned spears and blowguns, and moved with great agility.

What's even more chilling is that there are hundreds of other enormous war elephants in the procession.

These war elephants, lined up in a row, resembled a moving city wall, creating a tremendous sense of psychological pressure.

Jiang Ruoshui's cool voice echoed throughout the venue.

"The Nanzhao army swears to follow General Qin to the death!"
