Chapter 275: The Planning and Preparing Stage

Lian Jiuhua’s eyes also lit up slightly. “Little brother, in that case, then I’ll go gather intel.”

“Milady, should I command our people to gather all the Blood Feast assassins in the West?” Lin Ye asked Liu Rushuang.

Liu Rushuang looked over at Lin Ye and furrowed her brows. “Yes, go gather them. The more manpower, the higher chances of our victory.”

“Yes, milady!” Lin Ye accepted his orders.

Everyone had left to collect intel and gather more men.

They prepared for the war.

Han Moze sent men to retrieve a map.

“Your Majesty, I request to see you for urgent business.”

“Come in,” Han Moze watched the spy enter, then questioned him in a deep voice. “Whereabouts are the Xixia army currently?”

“Your Majesty, they broke through our Western stronghold this afternoon. Now, they’re heading to the Great Forest City,” reported the spy.

Liu Rushuang heard the spy’s report, then furrowed her brows. “Ze, only Magnolia City lies between Misty Rain City and the Great Forest City. At this speed, I reckon they’ll need at least over ten days to reach Misty Rain City.”

Han Moze looked over at the spy and asked, “Did you manage to find out how Xixia attacked?”

“Your Majesty, I hear the general of Xixia’s army can transform into a black fog. His martial art skills are incredible, impenetrable!” Reported the spy in black armor.

Han Moze waved his hand to release the spy from duty.

“I never imagined that this war started all because of me,” said Liu Rushuang with furrowed brows.

“It looks like the demon master deeply misses you,” Han Moze said in a deep voice and squinted eyes.

“Yes… When I was young, I would come across a demon master with long white hair when I went out to play. Out of curiosity, I walked over to ask who he was. Then, the demon master took me to the Edge of Heaven to play. After that, he would often come to find me to play. When I had time, I would go learn new things with the demon master. In the end, I never imagined that he would miss me more and more. By the time I realized, it was already too late.”

“Shuang’er, we have to work hard to make the demon master abandon his feelings for you,” Han Moze grinned slightly.

“Of course, I’ll think of a way to get the demon master to stop,” said Liu Rushuang and Han Moze with determination.

Han Moze looked over at the map and spoke with a deep voice.

“The incoming army of Xixia is fierce. I reckon the stiff battle will last several months. During this time, Nanli and Donghua will definitely break through the stronghold into Beiming, so we must swiftly eradicate that impervious demon.”

“That’s what I was thinking,” replied Liu Rushuang.

Han Moze and Liu Rushuang made plans and preparations until very late in the evening.

“Your Majesty, may I enter?” The sound of General Xu’s voice came from outside.

“Come in.” The hint of a smile formed in the corner of H’s face.

General Xu was over fifty years old with a short, black goatee, sharp brows, and tiger-like eyes. His face looked delicate and skinny. He stepped inside the room in a suit of black armor and paid his respects.

“Hail Your Majesty and the Empress.”

“General Xu, please rise,” Han Moze let out a soft chuckle.

“I brought two hundred thousand foot soldiers, one hundred thousand knights on horses, two hundred and fifty thousand archers, and fifty thousand cavalries stationed nearby the Misty Rain City. They can attack the Xixia army at any time,” said General Xu.

“General Xu, you’ve worked hard. In the future, I hope you can give us pointers from the sidelines,” Han Moze grinned.

“I watched the emperor grow up, so I know more than anyone, just how strong you are. For Your Majesty to say such a thing, you really think too highly of me!” General Xu said with a grateful smile.

“General Xu, you’re too modest. General Xu has worked tirelessly today. You should get some rest,” said Han Moze with a faint smile.

“Yes, Your Majesty. I shall take my leave.”

General Xu pulled a faint smile, then left.

Liu Rushuang watched as General Xu left and said, “Ze, General Xu looks like a kind person. I really couldn’t tell that he was a general who commanded dozens of convoys!”
