Lin Hao paid no attention to these envoys; he glanced at the map in his hand, his eyes lit up.

Not far from the Quanrong Empire, there was an empire that did not send an envoy. Perfect, it became Lin Hao's first target.

"The Wujiang Empire? Heh, it's them. Destination: Wujiang Imperial City!"

Upon Lin Hao's command, an army of 30,000 marched grandly towards the Wujiang Empire, moving with such speed that it far surpassed the envoys' imagination.

At this moment, in fact, many empires were watching the movements of this Earthling army, especially the Wujiang Empire, which was too close to the Earthlings' encampment.

Even the Quanrong Empire had already submitted and sent an envoy, but they refused to compromise, feeling uneasy.

Among the scouts monitoring the Earthling army, there were the most from the Wujiang Empire.

As soon as the army started moving, messengers were sent flying to report the situation.

The Wujiang Great Emperor had not participated in the last encirclement campaign, and his forces were not among the two million allied troops from the Western Regions. Nevertheless, he had also received a letter of subjugation from Lin Hao.

The rage in the Wujiang Great Emperor's heart was palpable, an archetypal case of trouble coming from the skies while sitting at home undisturbed.

At this moment, inside the great hall of the Wujiang Great Emperor, both the ministers and the Great Emperor had grim expressions.

"Utterly preposterous! Insulting! We haven't troubled the Earthlings, yet they come to trouble us—this is outrageous!"

The Wujiang Great Emperor's face turned red, nearly toppling the throne.

The ministers below were also filled with righteous indignation, feeling it utterly undignified and stifling to give in and pay tribute to the Earthlings.

But some were clear-headed.

"But, Great Emperor, the Earthlings are too powerful. The two million-strong army formed by the Quanrong and the Giant Eagles was easily shattered, and both the Giant Eagle and Quanrong emperors were killed without even a chance to fight back. How can we oppose the Earthlings?"

A minister was deeply worried, feeling that the war was unwinnable.

The Wujiang Great Emperor shouted angrily, his eyes red: "Meet the soldiers with our general, stem the flood with our earth! I refuse to believe that these Earthlings can be that formidable!"

No sooner had he spoken than a soldier rushed in, yelling loudly, "Report! Report! The Earthling army has already reached the gates of the city!"

So quickly?

Everyone in the hall was stunned. Then some turned to look towards the sky outside the great hall, where a few strange black dots were floating in the distance.

"Is that the Earthlings' airship?" The Wujiang Great Emperor gasped, suddenly feeling an ominous premonition and hurriedly led people outside.

At this very moment, in the Wujiang Empire's realm, countless people had gathered on the streets and alleys, pointing and commenting on the airships in the sky.

Those quick-witted ones had already started quietly fleeing the city.

"I'm going to see just how unreasonable these Earthlings are!" The Wujiang Great Emperor leaped into the air and quickly arrived at the city wall of the Imperial City.

Outside the wall, thousands of heavy battle tanks were lined up, their dark muzzles pointing at the city wall, an intimidating sight.

The Earthlings' power was already renowned, and many of the Wujiang Empire soldiers began to tremble in fear.

The Wujiang Great Emperor saw this and felt urgency in his heart; his own soldiers hadn't even started fighting and were already scared to such a state—how was he to fight?

He looked up and saw an airship flying lower than the others, not far above the heavy battle tanks; it seemed to have quite a few people standing on it, apparently directing their forces.

The Wujiang Great Emperor took a deep breath, leaped forward, and ran towards the direction of the airship. He stopped halfway between the two armies and shouted loudly:

"Lin Hao! I know you're not dead! I just want to ask you, we have no recent grudges or past enmity, so what is the meaning of you leading your army here!"

The Wujiang Great Emperor's voice had strong penetrative power; Lin Hao, aboard the airship, could hear it crystal clear.

He gave a slight smile, took out a megaphone, and nonchalantly said: "Wujiang Great Emperor, if my memory serves me right, you received the ultimatum I sent you, yet you, did not send any envoy."

The Wujiang Great Emperor was taken aback, furious at heart, but unable to lash out, he could only bitterly say: "My Wujiang Empire did not partake in the encirclement and extermination of Earth's people, why should we submit, pay tribute, and compensate!"

"Why? As a Great Emperor, don't be so naive, alright? Did I not tell you that as long as you submit to us, you will be our Earth people's little brother and under the protection of Earth people from now on? Did I not tell you that if you do not submit, you become an enemy? Against an enemy, if not siege their cities, should we perhaps invite them home and idolize them instead?"

Lin Hao sneered: "Right, I have nothing further to say to you, go back to your city, and prepare your armies for war, to welcome the baptism of us Earth people."

Having said that, Lin Hao put down the megaphone, turned back to the gathered envoys, and said: "You see, those of you who were willing to come, I treat you as friends. As for those who didn't come, I'll make an example out of them for you today. Everyone, watch closely."

The envoys all had pale faces, now even fools would understand what Lin Hao was implying.

This was clearly to kill the chicken to show the monkey!

He brought them here to witness how other nations were destroyed!

Meanwhile, the Wujiang Great Emperor was extremely angry. Lin Hao actually told him to go back and make war preparations; he was treating him like clay, to be molded however he pleased!

Even a clay Buddha has a trace of anger, let alone him, the Wujiang Great Emperor?

"Earthlings!"

The Wujiang Great Emperor gritted his teeth and then turned around, leaping back.

"Activate the Defensive Array!"

Each city had its own Defense Array, the city walls inscribed with Runes, powered by Primordial Stones.

Following the Wujiang Great Emperor's order, the light of the Runes on the walls of the Imperial City flickered as an energy Shield rose from the walls, enveloping the entire Wujiang Imperial City.

Aboard the airship, Lin Hao watched the protective Shield over the Wujiang Imperial City rise, and only when the energy reached its maximum did he nod in satisfaction.

"Come, give each one of these envoy friends a telescope, let them witness firsthand what it means to be enemies with us, the Earth people."

However friendly Lin Hao's voice sounded, to the ears of the envoys, it was filled with a murderous intent, sending shivers down their spines and making Lin Hao seem like a mad killer.

Soon, telescopes were distributed, and the envoys were taught how to use them.

Then, Lin Hao picked up the communicator and solemnly ordered: "Begin the attack!"

"Yes!"

"First round of attack, ready!"

"Fire!"

On the ground, the Heavy Battle Tanks raised their barrels, aiming at the walls ahead.

Is it coming?

Atop the walls, the Wujiang Great Emperor's face was grim, watching the muzzles of those Heavy Battle Tanks, his heart starting to tense up.

How many years had it been? He could hardly believe it himself, the Wujiang Great Emperor experiencing nerves before battle.

Following that order of "Fire!", a whistling sound began, and countless bombs with long tail flames were seen flying towards Wujiang Imperial City.

Closer, closer!

These flying objects, in the Wujiang Great Emperor's eyes, had no threat at all, no fluctuations of Primordial Power, yet they made his heart nearly stop beating, as if it would pop out of his throat.
