The scene is too realistic.This once again filled Shen Changqing's heart, which had been struggling to remain calm, with immense fear.Just—No matter how fearful he was in his heart, he never moved his...The great Zhou dynasty.
In the imperial court.
>
All civil and military officials kept their faces composed, looking at the center. On the ground there was a bloody pattern, with thick black mist emerging from it.
In the midst of black fog.
There are large armies clashing, and powerful individuals battling.
That terrifying wave, even the black mist could not completely block it.
Above the imperial throne.
A middle-aged man in a black emperor's robe sat there. His originally imposing face was now tinged with a hint of evil, making him appear quite strange.
"Zhou Yu Guan is considered broken, I underestimated the power of Qin. With several great demons stationed in Zhou Yu Guan, they couldn't even contend with it. Hehe, everyone says that Qin has gradually declined over the past hundred years."
>
Now it seems, even a thin camel is bigger than a horse.
The emperor's voice was low and cold, causing the temperature in the hall to drop several degrees.
After she spoke.
The grand hall was silent for a long time.
The Zhou Emperor spoke again, “Spread my order: halt the Qin forces with all your might. Let them know that our great Zhou is not someone to be trifled with.”
Gu Xuanji dared to lead his army directly into my Great Zhou, he must have enough confidence.
But even with all the planning in the world, when faced with absolute power, all preparations are useless.

Hasten your movements, I want him to be trapped within the ancient mechanism, unable to escape!

Zhou Yuguan closed the door.
The Great Zhou Dynasty has already completely fallen apart.
The city wall was smeared with thick, pungent blood, filling the air with a sickeningly sweet scent. Everywhere one looked, there were swathes of corpses lying dead on the ground.
There were people from the Zhou dynasty and people from the Qin dynasty.
Shen Changqing looked at the Qin soldiers cleaning up the corpses, his eyes calm and undisturbed.
This battle!
Technically, there are no victors.
Although the Qin army captured Zhou Yuguan, the price paid was not small.
The puppet fearlessly faces death.
Many Qin soldiers fell victim to those puppet suicide attacks.
Now.
Although all the puppets were completely wiped out, he had a strange feeling of discomfort in his heart.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
"Feeling a little out of place"
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
A familiar voice, rang in my ear.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing didn't need to turn his head to know that the person who came was Dongfang Zhao.
Upon hearing this.
He shook his head.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“War doesn't have anyone who can stay dead. I'm just curious, could the Great Zhou allow millions of soldiers to become puppets Once this gets out, I fear that the hearts of the people in the Great Zhou will scatter.”
>
However.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Now that all the puppets have been eradicated, even if the news were to be spread, others in the Zhou Dynasty might not believe it.
Instead, it is believed that the Qin Dynasty was tyrannical and cruel in its methods.
In this way, the subsequent Qin army's attack on the city would instead encounter even stronger resistance.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But.
What Shen Changqing really cared about wasn't these things.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
"Public opinion can still be suppressed, but what I don't understand is what the Zhou Dynasty is trying to achieve. Is their goal simply to leave both of us defeated If that's all, then their methods are ruthless."
“There must be something big going on in the Great Zhou. They'd rather sacrifice so many people than let us catch up. Be careful behind you. The strength Zhou Yuguan showed is already something that the demon clan fears.”
Dongfang Zhao let out a soft sigh.
“But no matter what, this battle the Great Qin Empire ultimately won. The four great demons who came from the demon clan, two were severely wounded and fled, one of them was even beaten by you to the point where their physical body was completely destroyed, only their soul escaped.”
In my estimation, even the most powerful beings among the demon race cannot number very many.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have broken through Zhou Yu's defenses so quickly.
Being able to send four great demons at once is already shocking.
According to his guess.
Even among the demon race, there couldn't be many powerful beings left.
Speaking of this.
The Eastern Emperor once again asked, "What level of strength do you think the demon who made the final move possessed"
He was referring to that.
That over there is the demonic beast that attacked from afar.
If the other party hadn't reached out to save him, the soul of that demon with bone wings would have been destroyed.
>
Shen Changqing recalled the exchange they had just made, his face becoming slightly solemn.
“That powerful demon is definitely no weaker than Wang Mubai.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Not weaker than Wang Mubai!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Dongfang Zhao took a deep breath.
>
Another top-tier great demon.
This kind of demon is only one step away from becoming a demon saint.
"You said, will this place give birth to a natural disaster"
Here is the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing asked.
Those who died in battle under Zhou Yu's command, not counting those from Qin, numbered in the millions.
If we used corpses to pile a mound, we could directly build a Zhou Yu Guan.
Dong Fang's face was dark. "It's not impossible. The Zhou people were transformed into puppets, and their hearts naturally held immense resentment. Now that everyone is dead, that overwhelming resentment combined... it could very well give birth to a natural disaster."
But natural disasters are not formed in a day or two, just like the disaster in Guangyuan Prefecture.
After the disaster of Guangyuan Mansion, more than two hundred years passed before it gradually came back to life.
>
This kind of natural disaster's gestation, even if it is relatively late.
But some natural disasters can take several years or more to develop, even if they are relatively fast. It's difficult to say exactly how long it takes.
Compared to the Great Demon.
Natural disasters, on the other hand, are something to be feared even more.
Is it true that "natural disasters cannot be destroyed" If the location of a natural disaster is also its own domain, then at the level of great demons, they could also have their own domains.
In the case of a breakdown of domains, is there a possibility of eradicating natural disasters
Shen Changqing changed the subject.
He had always thought that natural disasters could be killed, it was just a matter of strength.
...and up to now.
Having come into contact with experts in their fields, I felt that natural disasters were not as formidable as people made them out to be.
Even a great demon could be slain, and a Demon Saint could be severely injured.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Natural disasters.
Could it really be stronger than the Monster Saint
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Eastern Emperor said, "Your guess might be right, but so far, no one has been able to break through the Calamity Realm using their own Domain. Now in the ranks of the Garrison Commander, the only one who truly possesses a Domain is me."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
I also tried to break through the natural disaster domain with the domain, but unfortunately, there was no effect.
"Perhaps, one day, if you can progress further, you might be able to eradicate these calamities."
"I understand."
Shen Changqing's chest rose and fell a few times.
The Eastern Decree actually did this, and it failed.
Then it's clear.
The power of a Great Demon is incapable of posing a threat to natural disasters.
Only with greater power is it possible to contend with natural disasters.
I sensed some movement behind me.
Shen Changqing turned his head to look, and Dongfang Zhao had already disappeared into the distance.
Immediately.
He turned his attention to himself.
>
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
The kill count has jumped from over two thousand to almost four thousand eight hundred.
This drastic change is mainly due to the earlier defeat of the two powerful demons.
Especially the latter.
The body was shattered, leaving only a fragment of the soul to escape and contribute over a thousand points of killing value.
Through this.
Shen Changqing became even more convinced of his original judgment.
The source of the killing value is the root of demonic power.
Mental aspects.
He has also officially advanced from the Soul God Seventh Realm to the Soul God Eighth Realm.
Please note that I only translated the text content within the > tags. The HTML tags themselves were not translated. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It's still quite a gap to reach the Soul God Ninth Stage.
"If I hadn't let that powerful demon soul escape, I might have been able to directly enter the ninth level of Divine Soul. Even if I hadn't, the gap would have narrowed considerably."
>
Thinking of the escaped demon, Shen Changqing felt a tinge of regret in his heart.
The more powerful the soul,
The more control he has over his physical body, the greater the power he can unleash.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Meanwhile.
Soul power is also a kind of alternative attack.
So, the transformation from the seventh to the eighth realm of the soul might seem insignificant, but only Shen Changqing himself knew that his strength had definitely increased.
Even if the increase is not large, it is a real improvement.
He then thought again of the demon who had attacked him from afar.
It's obvious.
Although powerful members of the demonic race still lurk in the shadows, none have dared to show themselves.
Among.
The other party must have some reservations.
Shen Changqing turned his head to look at Gu Xuanji, who was directing the situation. Of all the people present, the one he understood the least was this Emperor Qin.
Here's the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
If you say.
If the demonic race had any fears, then their greatest fear would be this Qin Emperor.
He shook his head silently.
Shen Changqing also did not think about this matter again.
He knew that he came here this time just to farm kill points, and the rest would naturally be taken care of by someone else.
Zhou Yuguan is inside.
Inside the manor, Qin's people were seated there. This place originally belonged to Zhou, but now it belonged to Qin.
"Your Majesty, now that Zhou Yu Guan has fallen in battle with many casualties, if it is not dealt with in time, there may be an outbreak of plague. Then the trouble will be great."
Yan Jing said in a deep voice.
His blood-stained armor remained on, the heavy scent of blood still lingering in the air.
Actually, everyone sitting here right now, to some degree or another, has the scent of blood on them.
They're just used to it, so they can do it without batting an eyelid.
Gu Xuanji said: "The Heavenly Gate Pass has requisitioned 100,000 people to come here. One is to garrison at Zhou Yuguan, and the other is to dig pits on the spot and bury all the corpses, cleaning up all the remains. The wounded in this battle also remain at Zhou Yuguan for recuperation."
All deceased soldiers will be given appropriate compensation according to regulations.
The remaining soldiers rested on the spot for half a day before launching another attack. Within a month, I expect to see the capital of the Zhou Dynasty!
Within a month.
> I have seen the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.
That means the Qin Empire's advance cannot be stopped by anyone. It must charge into the heart of the Zhou Dynasty with unstoppable force.
Before the war started, many people didn't think it was possible.
But now.
But they didn't think so.
Zhou Yu guarded with hundreds of thousands of troops, and yet was defeated by the Qin army in one fell swoop. How many troops could the Zhou Dynasty have Losing so many people at Zhou Yu's command would significantly weaken their overall national strength.
Although.
>
What kind of results can be achieved It's all because top-tier experts forcefully break through the situation.
It is important to know that.
>
Top-tier experts are themselves a part of the overall strength.
Now that the powerful demons of yore have retreated, the Great Qin stands out with its sharp brilliance.
If the attack continues, the Great Zhou Dynasty might not be able to hold it back.
> Half a day later.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Qin army once again set out from Zhou Yu Guan, with nearly three million troops excluding casualties. They marched towards the heartland of the Zhou Dynasty in a mighty force.
Along the way.
Although there were soldiers from the Great Zhou organization to hold them back, under the circumstances that Shen Changqing and others cleared the way, they couldn't hold out for long.
It was less than an hour.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A mighty city has already been captured.
“After Zhou Yu's defeat at the Battle of Chibi, where hundreds of thousands of Da Zhou troops were lost, their strength had been significantly weakened. Now, their ability to resist is much weaker.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Capturing a city with ease, Gu Xuanji showed no smile on his face.
Just like Zhou Yuquan.
Here, the city guards have also become fearless puppets.
After the war.
All that the Qin Dynasty can do is to exterminate all puppets.
In fact.
Such an approach was not what he desired.
If every battle were a desperate fight, then the power of Qin would only be continuously depleted. The only way to replenish its strength is to break the morale of the enemy and then gather the surrendered troops.
But now.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
All of the Zhou soldiers had become puppets and there was no possibility of them being incorporated into the army.
Especially the fearless fighting, also caused some losses for the Qin state.
>
"Your Majesty, we've searched everywhere. This city is deserted, not a single person from the Zhou Dynasty remains."
A general rushed over.
"The city is empty!"
A cold light flickered in Gu Xuanji's eyes.
>
"Send a message to Yan Jing and Wei Yang, ask about their situation"
“Yes!”
The general bowed and withdrew.
On the city wall.
Gu Xuanji looked down at the huge city below. Only people from the Qin Dynasty were searching on the streets, but he didn't see a single person from the Zhou Dynasty. He couldn't help but frown deeply.
An empty city!
This is not good news.
On the other side.
Shen Changqing also walked over.
"Did the state of Dazhou receive advance notice and thus preemptively relocate its people"
"It's hard to say. The movement of the people was not small, it couldn't be done so quietly. However, there has been no news from the Tianchawei who entered Dazhou until now."
This time, the Great Zhou is truly not simple.
Gu Xuanji shook his head slightly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“But even if they have any plans, they can't hide them for long. When my army reaches the capital of the Zhou kingdom, everything will be clear!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Take a short rest on the spot.
He again led his army toward the next city.
The capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Inside the palace.
Continuously, intelligence reports arrive. The black mist surges and depicts the scene of Qin's attack on the city.
The speed of the Great Qin is not slow.
Zhou Huang smirked, watching the scene in the black mist with great interest. Even though all the cities had fallen into the hands of the Qin Dynasty, he couldn't feel any anger.
Below.
>
An official stepped forward.
“Your Majesty, if the Qin army truly lays siege to our city, what shall we do”
Looking at the momentum of Qin's attack on the city, many people have already been intimidated.
>
Although Emperor Zhou still seemed confident of victory.
However, the Qin dynasty was certainly not a pushover.
Upon hearing this.
Zhou Huang shook his head slightly: "You don't need to worry about the affairs of the Qin Dynasty. Even if troops are at the city gates, our Zhou Dynasty is not someone that the Qin Dynasty can just manipulate."
As for you, I will not go back on my word.
So just relax and watch, it'll be over soon.
Everyone fell silent.
They are all now like ants on a rope tied to the Zhou emperor, no one can do without the other.
Those who opposed were cleaned out from the very beginning.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
In a way, all the people left now can be considered our own.
A fortnight's time.
The Qin army divided into three routes and, with a lightning-fast attack, captured most of the territory of the Zhou Dynasty.
Three armies now converge directly on the capital of Great Zhou.
"The actions of the Qin Dynasty were surprisingly swift!"
Upon receiving the news, Liang Huang's expression couldn't help but be taken aback.
>
Zhou Yu's battle was fierce, with both sides suffering heavy casualties.
Zhou Yu Guan could be captured in a short time, all thanks to strong individuals like Shen Changqing who opened the situation. Otherwise, even if Qin had a month, they might not have been able to take it down.
However.
Zhou Yuguan was merely a gate within the Da Zhou Imperial Household. The Great Zhou Dynasty had stood for over a thousand years, its foundation needless to say profound.
According to his plan.
After conquering Zhou Yuquan, the Qin Empire would likely engage in a protracted war with the Zhou Dynasty, far different from its current unstoppable momentum.
For a while.
The Emperor Liang’s brow furrowed deeply.
"Your Majesty, now Qin is marching straight towards the capital of Zhou. If we allow Qin to capture the capital of Zhou, then Zhou will be completely under Qin's control."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Qin Dynasty was already powerful, and if they annexed the Zhou Dynasty as well, it would be quite troublesome!
Northern Ming's face also darkened.
What they want to see is the complete ruin of both Qin and Zhou, not Qin effortlessly absorbing Zhou.
If that's really what you want.
Once the other party has annexed Great Zhou, Daliang will be in a very awkward position.
Liang Huang took a deep breath and looked in the direction of Great Zhou. His gaze became profound.
“Although I don’t know what Zhou Huang is up to, the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty is undeniable. For Qin to reach the capital of the Great Zhou so quickly, there must be some ulterior motive involved.”
There was news from Ran An that the soldiers of Great Zhou had all become puppets who were fearless and relentless. Moreover, all the cities captured by Great Qin were empty.
That being said.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But he was also hesitating.
Regardless of what tricks the Zhou Dynasty might be up to, the fact that the Qin Empire is marching straight for its capital city is undeniable.
If left unchecked, once Qin conquers Zhou, it will pose a great threat to Daliang.
There are only everlasting interests, no eternal friends.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The main reason Daliang allied with the Qin Dynasty was due to external pressure.
But.
Once the Qin Empire becomes a threat to the Liang Dynasty, then Emperor Liang will have to seriously consider what to do about it.
After a long time.
Liang Huang looked towards Bei Ming Wang.
>
“The Great General thinks, how should our great Liang state act appropriately now”
“My suggestion is that instead of doing nothing, our great Liang should, under the pretense of supporting Great Qin, send troops into Great Zhou. We don't need to completely stop Great Qin from annexing Great Zhou, but we must ensure that our great Liang benefits from this process.”

Then Beiming pondered for a moment before replying.
Facing such a large piece of fat as the Zhou Dynasty, he was also very tempted.
Don't make a move first.
The goal is to make both sides lose.
Now that the Qin Empire is about to conquer the Zhou Dynasty, if Daliang hesitates any longer, it will miss this opportunity.
Upon hearing this.
The Liang Emperor nodded.
"Very well, then you shall lead an army of 1.2 million to Da Zhou. Be sure to arrive before the Qin forces capture the capital of Da Zhou. Da Zhou has colluded with demons, and all who know it should be punished. How can our Great Liang remain indifferent to this"
>
"Your servant obeys!"
Then Bei Mingwang turned and left.
Liang Huang watched the other person's retreating figure, then withdrew his gaze.
At this point, Daliang stepped in. On the side of Dayuet, it was probably about the same.
No one expected it.
The Qin empire is approaching the capital of Zhou so quickly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Since that's the case, there's absolutely no reason to stand idly by.
Get involved.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It is inevitable.
>
Just as the Zhou Emperor had anticipated, when the Daliang forces were dispatched to Da Zhou, Dayue also sent its troops, marching towards Da Zhou.
>
It can be said.
The Qin's offensive made both sides deeply shaken.
The Great Zhou Dynasty had a profound foundation.
Even if they can't completely absorb them, as long as they swallow a portion, it will strengthen the country.
On the contrary.
Even if Daliang and Dàyué joined forces in the future, they might still be no match for Qin after being annexed.
Within the territory of the Great Zhou.
The three armies of the Great Qin are still attacking the city.
>
However.
The further it went, the weaker Dazhou's resistance became.
In a grand mansion.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The commanders of the other two armies all came here to converge.
"How many casualties have we suffered so far"
Gu Xuanji looked at the two people, and asked in a deep voice.
That's all.
Yann Jing bowed and said, “Your Majesty, our army's casualties so far are only 50,000.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"My troops are about the same."
Wei Yang nodded.
100,000 casualties.
This loss was much lower than Gu Xuanji had expected.
...add him to this side.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The casualties were only less than 200,000.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Casualties were less than 200,000.
Just taking down the Great Zhou's Number One Estate, such a war record if spread abroad would be truly terrifying.
However.
He was very clear.
The reason why Qin Dynasty achieved such great military successes was entirely due to the weakened resistance of Zhou Dynasty. Apart from the initial battle by Zhou Yu Guan, which involved the appearance of powerful demons, there were no other formidable figures who emerged in the subsequent wars.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That's why Qin could advance all the way.
“There’s new intel: Daliang and Dàyuè have entered the borders of Da Zhou. It seems they want a piece of the pie.”
Gu Xuanji changed the subject.
Upon hearing this.
Yan Jing's eyes turned cold.
“I toiled hard to win over most of the territory, and now they want a share of the spoils Isn't that a bit too ambitious!”
"Your Majesty, shall we dispatch troops to intercept them"
Wei Yang said in a low voice.
That's all.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Gu Xuanji smiled faintly, his gaze falling on Ran An and Pei Feng.
The two of them were now looking at their noses and hearts, as if they hadn't heard a word anyone else was saying, nor noticed the gazes fixed upon them.
A long while.
Gu Xuanji retracted his gaze.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"The Daliang and Dàyuè have always been allies of our Great Qin. Since they are willing to come to our aid, how could I refuse There's no need to send troops to stop them. If they wish to come, let them come directly!"
“Your Majesty—”
"No need to say more, you all have prepared yourselves well. In three days, we will formally lay siege to the capital of Zhou. All, withdraw! Shen Zhunshou, stay behind for now."
“We retire now!”
Yan Jing and others could only get up and say goodbye.
Ran'an and Pei Feng, both bowed deeply in greeting before turning to leave.
In such a large place, there were only two or three people left.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Looking at Shen Changqing, who was left behind by himself, and Dongfang Zhao, who had chosen to stay.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Gu Xuanji's smile disappeared from his face, replaced by solemnity.
During the current state of affairs in Great Zhou, a decisive battle will take place at the capital in three days. There is a high probability of unforeseen events occurring. If such catastrophic events unfold, prioritizing personal safety should be the top concern.
Speaking of this.
He looked towards Dongfang Zhao.
"The duty of the Eastern Guard is not to protect my safety, but to cooperate with Commander Shen and leave first in case of any incident."
"Your Majesty..."
Shen Changqing frowned, he didn't quite understand Gu Xuanji's decision.
Before he could finish speaking.
Gu Xuanji had already raised his hand, interrupting him.
"Among the new generation of Qin, only you possess the greatest strength. The Emperor and I have little time left. If you can retreat safely, you will best preserve the power of Qin."t be a laughing stock.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!Throughout history, every Tiancha Wei outpost that was eradicated was due to large-scale attacks by demons and e...
