Chapter 379: Heishan Fortress, Hai Bodong's Refreshing Calm
Yue Mei sighed and shook her head. After explaining everything that had happened, everyone present couldn't help but take a sharp breath. The three empires were indeed terrifyingly strong. To deal with a single Dou Huang, they had sent three Dou Huang experts this proved just how dire the situation was on the front lines.
"This is bad…"
"The Three Sects have seized the opportunity to launch a full scale assault. Heishan Fortress is under immense pressure. Though the Poison Sect's master, the 'Poison Lady,' is nowhere to be seen and hasn't personally joined the battle…"
"The elders of the Golden Goose Sect and Mulan Valley have joined forces, and they are strong enough to rival a Dou Zong. Hai Bodong and Jia Xingtian were injured in their last fight against the Poison Sect's leader, and their wounds haven't healed yet. They'll struggle to withstand this coordinated assault!"
Upon hearing how bleak the situation was, everyone's expressions darkened. Just how bold were these three empires to launch such an aggressive attack?
Aside from top tier experts, the Jia Ma Empire was also outnumbered in terms of Dou Huang and Dou Wang fighters. Right now, they could only barely hold the line. In the end, everything would come down to the battle between the strongest fighters.
Medusa's beautiful face turned icy cold as she looked at Yue Mei.
"Take us to Heishan Fortress. I will make them pay in blood!"
Her chilling words sent a shiver down Yue Mei's spine. If Her Majesty was personally getting involved, then Jia Ma Empire was as good as saved!
"That old fox Hai Bodong sure knows how to have fun. Alright, let's go take a look!"
The women glanced at Wu Tian.
His words had implied something was it possible that Hai Bodong had a secret plan?
After all, given how critical the situation was, if he had no strategy, he would have already reported back to Wu Tian instead of trying to handle things himself.
Even though Hai Bodong had rapidly grown stronger, he was never reckless.
If he was still calmly commanding the battlefield, then he must have a trump card.
Thinking of this, the women relaxed a little.
Since Wu Tian trusted Hai Bodong, then they should trust him as well.
Medusa's serpentine eyes studied Wu Tian for a moment before she suddenly smirked playfully and rolled her eyes at him.
Her small, teasing gesture was something Yue Mei had never seen before.
Her heart trembled.
"The Guardian Elder is truly incredible… even Her Majesty is completely conquered by him. Countless men must be dying of jealousy right now!"
Heishan Fortress – The Frontline of War
Heishan Fortress stood in the northeastern border of Jia Ma Empire, towering above the vast lands.
For over a century, this mighty stronghold had endured countless battles yet remained unshaken, proving just how impenetrable it was.
Now, Heishan Fortress had become the most intense battleground between Cailin Pavilion and the Three Sects.
Each battle fought here had been pivotal, determining which side gained the upper hand.
And today
A battle even greater than any before was about to unfold.
All eyes were on Heishan Fortress.
This battle would determine the fate of an entire empire.
If Jia Ma Empire lost, they would be wiped out.
If they won, it would mark the beginning of a counteroffensive, leading to the complete annexation of the Three Empires into Cailin Pavilion's territory!
This was a battle that would decide the fate of millions.
The battlefield stretched across an endless plain, dominated by two towering mountains that stood like natural walls, making it nearly impossible to cross.
Nestled within the narrow pass between these mountains was Heishan Fortress a behemoth that loomed like an ancient beast, its jaws wide open, ready to devour all who approached.
This fortress was the gateway to Jia Ma Empire.
If it fell, the enemy's cavalry would flood into the empire, spelling disaster for everyone inside.
The fortress itself was massive, dwarfing any ordinary stronghold it was a fortress among fortresses.
Its walls, made of black volcanic stone, were so thick that even a Dou Huang's attack would struggle to breach them.
Atop these towering walls, legions of soldiers stood ready for war.
Enormous ballistae lined the fortress, their sharp projectiles gleaming ominously.
The scene exuded a powerful aura "One man guards the pass, and ten thousand cannot break through!"
Even if the Three Empires attacked with their full might, they would pay a heavy price to break through.
At the center of the fortress, a group of famous figures from Jia Ma Empire stood gathered.
All of them wore grim expressions, their gazes locked on the horizon.
There
A sea of enemy troops stretched endlessly across the land.
Their armies were divided into three factions, each flying a different banner representing the Three Empires Alliance.
Yet, the ordinary soldiers weren't what worried them the most.
What truly terrified them were the powerhouses hidden among those troops.
For top tier experts, ordinary soldiers were no threat.
A single Dou Wang could slaughter an entire battalion.
With Dou Qi wings, they could strike and retreat freely, making them nearly unstoppable.
This was the harsh truth of the Dou Qi Continent.
Strength ruled above all else.
Even kings and emperors paled in comparison to true powerhouses.
If not for Cailin Pavilion's protection, Jia Ma Empire would have been destroyed already.
In this tense atmosphere, one man stood out.
He was reclining on a lounge chair, completely at ease.
A cup of fine wine rested in his hand, and his white hair swayed gently in the breeze.
This man was none other than Hai Bodong, the Vice Pavilion Master of Cailin Pavilion.
Jia Xingtian, standing beside him, was furious.
"Hai Bodong! The enemy army is right at our doorstep! Can you stop lazing around?!"
The old man's long beard quivered with rage.
This was not the time for Hai Bodong to be lounging around like some carefree nobleman.
Even last time, when they had nearly been wiped out fighting the Poison Sect's leader, he wasn't this relaxed!
Hai Bodong took a sip of his wine and smirked.
"Jia Xingtian, why are you panicking?"
"Look around don't you see how refreshing the air is?"
"The cool breeze, the dense clouds… Doesn't it make you feel incredibly relaxed?"
Jia Xingtian nearly choked on his own breath.
His hands trembled, barely holding back his urge to smack this old fool across the face.
"The enemy is about to attack! You're talking about the goddamn weather?!"
Yet, despite his frustration, a small thought crept into his mind.
Could it be…?
Did Hai Bodong actually have a plan?
The other commanders exchanged glances.
If Hai Bodong was this relaxed, perhaps…
Perhaps…
Jia Ma Empire was still safe after all.
Hai Bodong smirked again, lifting his cup.
"Relax."
"Everything… is under control."
