Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The news that Prince Yan had interrogated the Sacred Clans army from the Sacred Kings was that they had infiltrated the Great Zhous territory from different directions. At the same time, Shadow Sixs pigeon message had also arrived at the Young Master Manor. It further confirmed that the four Saint Kings were not lying and also perfected the news of them.

It turned out that after the army infiltrated the Great Zhous territory, they had been gathering in the same direction, heading straight for Yu City.

Yu City was less than a hundred miles away from Yan City, and there was also a navy stationed there. Overall, Yu City was mainly made up of land troops. The reason why Yu City was chosen as a gathering place was mainly because of two reasons. Firstly, their cooperation with Yan Huaijing had broken down, and they could not silently enter the capital in batches. They were stranded in Yu City. The second reason was that a large portion of them had come by the water route. Yan Citys defense was too tight, and they could not go ash.o.r.e in Yan City, so they could only settle for the next best thing.

When Shadow Six rushed over, it was already too late. Yu City had long been occupied by the Sacred Clans army. Prince Yan could not be blamed for his misjudgment. It was really because of the information Yan Huaijing had provided back then. The other party only had a ten thousand-strong army. The ten thousand-strong army was quite easy to hide. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would not take down a city. A hundred thousand was different. Where could they hide? They might as well go all out and s.n.a.t.c.h Yu City.

Shadow Six secretly infiltrated Yu City to investigate. The army of Yu City had basically been destroyed. The army of the Sacred Clan had about eighty thousand soldiers, and Shadow Six did not know that the other party actually had a hundred thousand. He cursed Yan Huaijing to death in his heart. There was such a big difference between ten thousand and eighty thousand. Had Yan Huaijings brain been kicked by a donkey to be deceived like this?

Shadow Six still doesnt know that its actually a hundred thousand. Yu Wan put down the letter and felt Shadow Sixs anger through the note. But then again, didnt those Saint Kings say that theres a hundred thousand troops?

Where did the other twenty thousand go?

In Prince Yans study, Prince Yan, Shadow Thirteen, and Yu Shaoqing were still sitting.

Yu Shaoqing looked at the map on the table. To be honest, he had been stationed in the Northwest all year round and was more familiar with the terrain of the Northwest. He had pa.s.sed by Yu City before, but he was all on his way and did not pay much attention to the military intelligence of Yu City. Is there still twenty thousand on the way? Yu Shaoqing muttered.

Prince Yan nodded. Most likely.

Could it be a navy? Yu Shaoqing asked.

We cant rule out this possibility, Prince Yan said.

Those Saint Kings did not know that they would fall into Prince Yans hands in advance, so it was impossible for them to match their confessions in advance. They had all told him that there were a total of 100,000 troops, so it must be at least 100,000 troops. As for the military types, they did not know. This was not within their jurisdiction.

Their duty was to find the entrance to the holy land and regain the Holy Soul Pearl. Other experts were naturally responsible for fighting the Great Zhou.

Did those Saint Kings reveal any information about the generals? Yu Shaoqing asked.

Prince Yan shook his head. The Sacred Clan is quite secretive about this operation. Those Saint Kings dont have much control over the armys situation. However, they say that they cant rule out the possibility that there are experts of the same level as them in the army.

Didnt they lose the Holy Soul Pearl? They can even nurture so many Saint

Kings! Yu Shaoqing had already learned about the Holy Soul Pearl from Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen. However, neither of them said who the female cat burglar who stole the Holy Soul Pearl back then was.

In the entire Young Master Manor, only Yu Shaoqing and Yu Wan did not guess that it was a certain someone.

The power of the Sacred Clan is very strong. This is a tough battle. Although the blood of the Helian family of Nanzhao flowed in Yu Shaoqings bones, he had been raised by the Great Zhou. It was the people of the Great Zhou who had raised him. He was Yu Sanlang of Lotus Flower Village, a general of the Great Zhou. The enemy of the Great Zhou was his enemy!

On the seventh day of the New Year, Shadow Thirteen disguised himself as Yan Jiuchao and sent Xiao Zhenting and Yan Huaijing off as the Regent. The commoners all knew that a war was coming. However, when they heard that the other party only had a 100,000-strong army and that Grand Marshal Xiao was going to war this time, they were filled with confidence in this battle.

Grand Marshal Xiao will definitely return victorious!

Thats right, thats right! Grand Marshal Xiao will definitely beat those outsiders into a pulp! Theres no battle in this world that Grand Marshal Xiao cant win!

Thats right! With Grand Marshal Xiao around, we will definitely win this battle!

Among the commoners, cheers for Xiao Zhenting were sounding, while cheers for Yan Huaijing were weak.

Yan Huaijing was a little melancholic, but he was not melancholic for long. After all, this battle was all because of him. Compared to being melancholic, he blamed himself and felt guilty..
