"Those damned foxes. I tried to win them over so many times before, but they were always playing Tai Chi with me.
"Now, they've chosen to collude with that Chen Yi. Do you think this prince can't compare to that guy?
"Also, so many important members of the Mist Kingdom were killed at the same time, but our men didn't notice at all!
"That Chen Yi deserves to die! Damn him! "
Prince Wu Lie cursed non-stop, cursing almost everyone he could think of. General Crow stood at the side, not saying a word, fearing that he would be the one to get into trouble.
When he had vented most of his anger and gradually calmed down, General Crow cautiously said, "Mu Ye Hou is currently trapped in the Mist Capital by the allied forces of the two kingdoms. He has already asked us for help many times, so Your Highness should think of a solution as soon as possible."
"That trash deserves to die!"
Prince Wu Lie said angrily, but he was only saying it verbally. In his heart, he knew that he couldn't let Mu Ye Hou die just like that.
Mu Ye Hou was still his cousin. If he died, not only would it be difficult for him to explain to his mother, but more importantly, the various kingdoms' forces would also doubt his control over the Pei Kingdom.
The Pei Kingdom was under his banner, but they had disobeyed orders to destroy his mother's Mist Kingdom and even killed his cousin. How could he still have any face left?
It wasn't easy for him to rebuild his iron-fisted image in front of the various forces, so he absolutely couldn't let it go to waste!
"Go to the Mist Kingdom and help me contact that Chen Yi. Tell him that I want to meet with him. Before that, I won't allow him to act rashly against the Mist Capital. "
Wu Lie thought for a moment before speaking to General Crow with a serious expression.
"But Your Highness, with the current situation in the Sun Steering Realm, if you leave, the Flaming Sun Crown Prince will have an opportunity to take advantage of," General Crow said with concern.
"When did I say I wanted to leave the Sun Steering Realm? I don't have to leave if I want to meet with that Chen Yi. "
Wu Lie took out a Divine Ascension Orb and handed it to General Crow. "Give it to Chen Yi and tell him that I will meet him in the Divine Ascension World in five days."
General Crow took the Divine Ascension Orb and nodded heavily. "This subordinate understands. This subordinate will go immediately!"
…..
Mist City stood tall in the vast and boundless desert. It looked golden and magnificent.
Unlike other cities, the city walls surrounding Mist City were made up of countless natural boulders. They were like numerous fortresses that surrounded and protected this isolated city.
Outside the Mist City, the flags of the Pei Kingdom and the Ze Kingdom fluttered in the wind.
Gu Chen had just walked into a tent in the middle of the Ze Nation's army when Old Ancestor Wildfox stood up and welcomed him warmly.
"Brother Chen, I really have to thank you this time. You've given me such a big piece of fat meat."
Patriarch Wildfox smiled amiably, completely different from the vigilance he had shown the last time they met. It was as if he had completely forgotten that he had attacked Gu Chen before he left.
His smile was not fake at all. This time, the Ze Country had really picked up a great bargain.
When Gu Chen had written a letter to him telling him that the Pei Kingdom was about to send troops to the Mist Kingdom and that he hoped that the Ze Kingdom would also send troops, he had been hesitant at first.
The Ze Kingdom was not strong and had always been inferior to the Mist Kingdom. Otherwise, they would not have allied with the Pei Kingdom for so long.
To send troops to the Mist Kingdom, especially to leave the swamp environment that the Wild Fox Race was familiar with and enter the Mist Kingdom's vast desert, required courage.
However, Gu Chen did not force him to make a decision immediately. Instead, he said that the Pei Kingdom would attack first and it would not be too late for the Ze Kingdom to send troops when the time was right.
Naturally, he had no reason to refuse such generous conditions, so he prepared his troops while observing the development of the situation.
What surprised him was that the Pei Kingdom army, which had always been weak, had actually won a beautiful victory in the Mist Kingdom, continuously attacking cities and seizing territory.
Seeing that the Mist Kingdom was like a paper tiger that could not withstand a single blow, the Ze Kingdom naturally became restless.
Finally, after Mu Yehou succeeded as the Mist King, the Ze Kingdom sent troops. In order to prevent any accidents from happening, Patriarch Wildfox personally followed the army to the Mist Kingdom.
After the Ze Kingdom's army entered the Mist Kingdom, they met with far less resistance than expected. Up until today, the Wild Fox Race had already annexed eight counties of the Mist Kingdom!
Compared to the fourteen counties that the Pei Kingdom had conquered, the Ze Kingdom was slightly weaker. However, the earlier battles had all been fought by the Pei Kingdom, and the Ze Kingdom had already obtained enormous benefits without suffering any losses.
If every time he allied with someone, he could only take advantage of the situation without taking any risks, then he would wake up laughing even in his dreams.
"The Ze Kingdom and the Pei Kingdom are of the same breath and branch, so we should share blessings. Fellow Wildfox is too polite."
Gu Chen smiled and sat down in the Wildfox Ancestor's tent. The two of them drank and chatted merrily, as if they were old friends.
"Brother Chen, there are only two counties left of the Mist Kingdom's twenty-four counties. Those two counties are more or less in our bag, and the Mist Kingdom is surrounded by us. Have you thought about what to do next?"
After three rounds of wine, the Wildfox Ancestor's expression became serious as he asked.
Even though the two countries seemed to be able to easily destroy the Mist Kingdom, in reality, the situation was not so simple.
The Ze Kingdom, the Pei Kingdom, and the Mist Kingdom all belonged to the Great Cheng Dynasty.
The system of seven countries had a long history. It could be said that it was a method used by Great Cheng to maintain its rule and balance.
If the Mist Kingdom was destroyed, then there would only be six out of the seven countries. The system that Great Cheng had established would be threatened, and the Ze Kingdom and Pei Kingdom's national strength would increase. In the future, they might become a challenge to the Sheng Yang Realm. This was something that the ruler of the dynasty, the Blazing Sun Tribe, could not allow!
The seven countries had often fought against each other throughout history. This was tacitly allowed by the Sheng Yang Realm. They hoped to use this method to wear down the strength of the seven countries and maintain the Blazing Sun Tribe's absolute dominance in the dynasty.
But if the fighting went too far, such as a certain country suffering a calamity that led to the rise of another country, then there could only be one result — the Sheng Yang Realm would take action!
At that time, the flames of the Blazing Sun Army would engulf the land of Great Cheng, and the wings of a hundred thousand Crow Generals would cover the sky of Great Cheng.
Against the imperial army and the armies of the various countries acting on orders, no country had ever been able to successfully resist!
Thus, it was not time for the Pei Kingdom and the Ze Kingdom to rejoice. If the following matters were not handled well, then the counties they had swallowed might all be for naught!
"Wait. We'll surround the Mist Kingdom and not attack it. Just wait."
Gu Chen had naturally thought of the Wild Fox Ancestor's concerns and said meaningfully.
Hearing this, the Wild Fox Ancestor's eyes flashed. He roughly understood the other party's meaning.
Several days later, General Crow arrived at the Pei Kingdom's army. He paid a visit to Gu Chen and expressed his intentions.
Gu Chen was not surprised at all when he learned that Wu Lie wanted to talk to him in person.
Wu Lie had arranged to meet five days later. Including the time General Crow had wasted on the way here, it just so happened to be tonight. It could be seen just how anxious Wu Lie was to meet him.
"Come, entertain the Lord Commander well."
Gu Chen ordered someone to take General Crow away and not let him leave without his permission. Then, when night fell, he entered the Divine Ascension Boundary that Wu Lie had designated.
