Proud Ruler of the World

Chapter 57 - The Imperial City is broken

Although they were very strong individually, their combined strength was not in accordance with the actual situation.

They had been living in peace in the Royal Capital for such a long time out of habit. Furthermore, they were used to putting on airs all the time. In terms of individual strength, they were very strong.

A group that was born under the influence of life and death, how could they be confident?

Not only that, there were also many powers in the Royal Capital that were biased towards the Northern Frontier. However, they hid it very well.

For example, the powers that the people of the forest dwelling had developed, or Chu Zhi's own powers, had come out from a latrine in each battlefield many years ago.

Chu Zhi's army majestically arrived at the gates of the Imperial City. The north gate was the main entrance of the Profound Sky Imperial City.

High and mighty, square and square. This was the city gates.

Just by looking at the city gates, one could tell how big this country was. It could be imagined what the main gate of Tianwei Imperial City was like.

In the past, although there were army guarding the north gate of the Profound Sky Imperial City, they still maintained the security of the city gate. However, it was just like a busy city, and now it was different.

When the Tianwei army arrived at the city walls, they set up a military camp not too far away from the city gates.

Although they were just commoners, they were not stupid. They had long heard of the policy of the north. After the citizens of the north had broken free from the rule of the heavens, they became more orderly under Chu Zhi's leadership.

The people of the northern border all lived and worked in peace. At least, they had been safe for five years. The light imperial court, political open-mindedness and a broad way of speaking, it was as if the ancient Chinese monarchs had the demeanor of an enlightened king.

The Northern Frontier Army was very strict, and would not violate any law or order against the people. Ever since they had entered the territory of Heaven's Might, they had never once mentioned the soldiers of the northern border bullying the citizens of Heaven's Might.

Therefore, the citizens of the territory of Tianwei were looking forward to the day they could return to the territory of the Northern Frontier. This day had finally come.

At the tightly-shut gates of the Heaven's Might City, there were rows and rows of soldiers on the city walls. Some of their eyes were filled with hope, while others looked ashen.

At dusk, the walls of Tianwei City began to emit bright smoke. It was obvious that when the guards of the city were eating, Chu Fanliang would give the order to attack the city.

The defensive troops of Tianwei City all thought that the real battle was about to begin, so they all stood on alert. They stopped what they were doing and hurriedly stood up to defend the Imperial City.

"The east, the south, and the three gates. Each city has thirty thousand soldiers, and twenty thousand are hidden. They are waiting for your orders." The remaining people all attacked the main gate. If they succeeded or failed, it would be up to them to make a move. " This was how Chu Zhi ordered it.

At dusk, the heavenly might army began to attack the city. For a moment, blood flowed like a river, but it was nothing more than this.

Of the four battlefields, the main gate was the most desperate. Chu Zhi commanded the army of Heaven's Might to attack again and again.

However, the Profound Sky Army that was defending the city had the advantage of land, and although Chu Zhi's army did not have any heavy transport, they were unable to attack for a long time.

Every second, there would be people dying. Furthermore, most of them were from the northern army.

The sky had already slowly darkened, the people from Chu Zhi's army were still charging forward regardless of anything, no one caring about the people around them who had died.

In the next moment, he didn't know if he would be the one to die. All he did was climb up the city gate. To kill was to kill.

Just as the last ray of sunlight disappeared, the east gate was breached.

Following that, Chu Zhi's army rushed into the Profound Sky Imperial City like tidewater.

The moment they broke through the east gate, the northern troops of the west and south gates all stopped their attacks and rushed towards the east gate.

The fifty thousand people charged into the Imperial City, and other than the group who opened the city gates, who took off their clothes and left the city gates, not a single one of the other Heavenly Might soldiers were spared, as if they were chopped into pieces.

In a short period of time, over a hundred thousand people had rushed into the east gate of the Imperial City, and then started shuttling back and forth within the Imperial City.

There were many servants of the Royal Sect who joined the defense of the city one by one, but how could they stop Chu Zhi's well-equipped army?

Right after Chu Zhi's army rushed into the east gate, the pressure on the north gate instantly weakened.

Not long after, the city gate was opened and flames were everywhere. The tens of thousands of people led by Chu Zhi rushed into the imperial city together.

However, Chu Zhi's army's discipline was just too strict, and the citizens who had their doors shut didn't get affected at all.

The only thing he did was shout for battle, causing the commoners to smell a lot of fear. However, since the start of the fight, the Northern Frontier Army had barely harmed any civilians.

Knowing that the situation was no longer good, the Heavenly Might Tower Defense Army retreated to defend the palace. Many of the pro-Chu faction members had long surrendered.

Chu Zhi's army took over the imperial city and started their reorganization. The city walls were currently filled with Chu Zhi's men, and the city gates that had just been breached were once again tightly shut.

However, this time, it was not the Heaven's Might that closed the city gate, but Chu Zhi's order to close the city gate.

A portion of the army had completely surrounded the palace, and the current situation was such that not even a fly could fly out.

In a short period of time, the northern troop had cleaned up the battlefield. With such a count of the number of people, the morale of Chu Zhi's army dropped in an instant.

Two hundred and twenty thousand people, over seventy thousand casualties. Almost all of them had been killed.

Many soldiers were injured, especially the main gate that was being attacked together with Chu Fanliang, the number of casualties was the highest, everywhere.

After resting for the whole night, early in the morning on the second day, Chu Zhi's army had already prepared to attack the imperial palace.

Most of them were able to get a good night's sleep. Although some of them were injured, their hearts were blooming with smiles.

Chu Zhi's army that was in a tight formation waiting to take action took control of the entire imperial city, and even the people who surrendered last night was allocated by the various commanders.

As the saying goes, do not use suspicious people, there was no doubt that Chu Zhi was the same.

Of course, although there were some who went berserk, but in such a tense situation, Chu Zhi did not care about the details.

Therefore, in the current Chu Zhi army, the number of people had recovered by quite a bit, and some fresh blood was mixed in.

Before Chu Zhi's army even reached the palace, it was already a mess within the palace.

As the saying goes, 'when the tree falls, the monkey shall scatter'. This was the current appearance of the Imperial Palace.
