Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Upon hearing Emperor Yue's words, the ministers in the imperial study were immediately alarmed. The ruler of the Black Dragon Kingdom was personally leading his troops to attack Dayue.

This……

Is the Black Dragon Kingdom really serious this time?

Previously, the Black Dragon Kingdom would only send its army to make minor movements, while the king of the Black Dragon Kingdom would basically stay in the capital.

Why are you serious this time?

So what do we do now?

The main force of Dayue was sent to the east, leaving the west completely undefended and unable to resist the attack from the Black Dragon Kingdom in the west.

The ruler of the Black Dragon Kingdom is, after all, a Celestial Being, and he certainly poses a threat to Dayue. If Dayue does not defend its rear, even if it wins on the front lines, it may still suffer a defeat due to a sneak attack by the Black Dragon Kingdom.

Even if Dayue did not suffer a complete defeat, it would inevitably suffer a heavy blow. Moreover, due to the emergence of the Black Dragon Kingdom, it would be even more difficult for Dayue to achieve victory in the final battle.

Just then, a cool yet alluring voice rang out from the window of the imperial study.

"I didn't expect that a mere Black Dragon Country could scare you like that."

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw Mu Yunxi leaning against the windowsill.

Upon seeing Mu Yunxi appear, Emperor Yue said calmly, "Oh? So, the Imperial Advisor has a solution?"

Mu Yunxi replied, "We only need to send two armies of the Dayue army that have practiced battle formations to the west. As for the four Celestials that may appear in the front, I will handle them for you."

"Although I cannot attack at will, I can still help you block the enemy's attacks."

Upon hearing Mu Yunxi's words, Emperor Yue thought for a moment. If this woman was really as formidable as she claimed, then perhaps it was worth a try.

Moreover, there is no other way now. If the Black Dragon Kingdom launches a sneak attack from behind, it could very well lead to the defeat of the battle formation.

Therefore, it would be better to send two armies to hold off the Black Dragon Kingdom's 100,000-strong army.

The army of Dayue has now basically mastered the Shangqing Tenglong Formation. They are even more proficient than the barbarian soldiers. The barbarian soldiers had practiced the Shangqing Tenglong Formation a long time ago, but they were no match for the army of Dayue.

This is not surprising. Although the military discipline of Dayue is not as good as that of Daxia, it is much better than that of the barbarians. This allows the Dayue army to quickly concentrate its forces when using the Shangqing Tenglong Formation.

At this moment, Emperor Yue thought to himself that if he sent two armies to the west, there would most likely be no problem in blocking the Black Dragon Kingdom.

The Black Dragon Kingdom did not have the Shangqing Tenglong Formation, only one Celestial Being, who only needed to hold off the Black Dragon Kingdom's ruler.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yue immediately wrote two troop mobilization orders, arranging two armies skilled in the Shangqing Tenglong Formation to intercept the invading army of the Black Dragon Kingdom.

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

The decisive battle will take place in Shaohai County of the Dayue Dynasty. This place is sparsely populated and has few cities. Even if the battle between the celestial beings is extremely destructive, it will not cause too much damage to Dayue.

With the location of the decisive battle determined, all that remains is to wait.

a few days later.

The Great Xia Dynasty, Guangyuan City.

Lu Chen, dressed in black and gold armor, was examining a map in the courtyard when a soldier rushed in, shouting, "Your Majesty, we have the results!"

The soldiers were very excited, as if they had heard some good news.

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

The soldier handed the intelligence to Lu Chen, then added, "In Shaohai County!"

Upon hearing the soldier's reply, Lu Chen did not immediately open the intelligence report in his hand. Instead, he looked down at the approximate map of Dayue and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Lu Chen said to the soldiers, "Immediately summon all the generals for a military meeting!"

Now that Dayue has decided on the location of the decisive battle, there is no need for Daxia to wait any longer.

The reason Lu Chen stopped in Guangyuan City and did not continue forward was because he was waiting for Da Yue to decide on the location of the decisive battle.

Lu Chen didn't want to hold the decisive battle in a crowded place. A battle between celestial beings is extremely destructive, especially since there were several celestial beings involved this time, and one of them also possessed the God-Slaying Spear.

The destruction caused would be even greater if the God-Slaying Spear were used.

For Lu Chen, Dayue's population is also a resource, and he doesn't want Dayue to lose too many people.

In a few years, the restrictions on the Mist World will disappear, and it's unknown how many soldiers will be needed to resist the invasion of those forces from the Mist World.

Upon hearing that a military conference was to be held, the generals of the Great Xia knew that the Great Yue must have already decided on the location of the decisive battle. They quickly arrived at the courtyard where Lu Chen was, and then they began a series of discussions.

When to deploy ordinary troops, when to deploy celestial beings, and what to do after the battle between the celestial beings is over—all these were discussed at the military conference.

After the military conference ended, Lu Chen personally led the 500,000-strong army of the Great Xia Dynasty straight to Shaohai County of Dayue.

Both Dayue and Daxia had a tacit understanding, and Dayue's main force was also converging on Shaohai County, and quickly completed its assembly.

A month later, Lu Chen led an army of 500,000 to Shaohai County, where the Dayue army had been waiting for a long time.

The two sides met in a basin, and the atmosphere immediately became tense, with a major war about to break out between the two countries.

Lu Chen did not rush to attack. He rode on his horse and looked at the other side through binoculars.

He had never met the Empress Yue, nor had he met Mu Yunxi, so he was curious about what these two people looked like and what their strength was.

However, Emperor Yue sat in a huge carriage, pulled by sixteen tall black warhorses. Those sixteen black warhorses were even taller and more than twice the size of the horses Lu Chen rode.

Of course, Lu Chen's focus was not on the horse; it was just that the carriage door blocked his view, so he couldn't see what the Emperor Yue looked like inside the carriage.

Just then, a breeze blew across the open space between the two armies, stirring up clouds of dust and making the air unusually hot.

At this moment, a clear, cold, and domineering voice came from Emperor Yue's carriage, "I have long heard that Emperor Xia is exceptionally handsome, like a celestial being descended to earth. Seeing him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved!"

Before meeting Lu Chen, Yue Huang was already very curious about him; she always found it somewhat unbelievable.

Her best friend had seen men before, and she had seen good men before. Back in their sect, there were countless handsome and outstanding disciples.

Moreover, many men had pursued Wu Yunwan, but she had not accepted any of them.

Why did Wu Yunwan choose Lu Chen as her man after leaving the Misty World, and even plan to have children with him?

At this moment, Yuehuang had already seen Lu Chen's appearance clearly through the small hole in the window. She now partially understood why her best friend liked this man.

This man was indeed different from ordinary men. He was dressed in armor and had long, flowing hair, making him a figure that women found hard to resist. Even the Empress herself felt that it would be perfectly acceptable to keep this man as a male concubine.

At that moment, Lu Chen, who was far away, heard the mature woman's voice coming from inside the carriage and was immediately taken aback. Putting everything else aside, just the voice itself was truly beautiful.

Lu Chen then said, "I have also heard that Empress Da Yue is as beautiful as a celestial being, a rare sight in the world. It's just a pity that I cannot see her face through the doors and windows!" (End of this chapter)
