Chapter 579 - 345 Impeach Princess Junwan - 3
Upon hearing these words, the great hall was suddenly in uproar.
"As if a Grandmaster made his move?"
What kind of weapon is this?
How can its power be so immense?
The more powerful the weapon, the more difficult it is to use, and the rarer they should be. How could the North Country possess such a large number of these mysterious weapons?
Could it be that Ying Feiyu was defeated and is now trying to shift the blame in his haste?
If the North Country really possesses such weapons, then Great Wu's campaign against the North Country is bound to fail without a doubt. A single iron ball is like the strike of a Grandmaster; if the North Country had tens of thousands of them, how could Great Wu possibly stand against the North Country.
For this campaign against the North Country, Great Wu dispatched only two Grandmasters.
While the ministers in the great hall were abuzz with discussion, suddenly, the voice of a Messenger Soldier came from outside, "Urgent report from Lingyun City!!!"
Upon hearing this voice, the Martial Emperor's face turned even grimmer. If what Ying Feiyu reported in the dispatch was true, then it was very likely that Lingyun City had fallen.
Just then, the Messenger Soldier entered the great hall, knelt in the center, and tremblingly lifted the latest dispatch over his head, saying, "Lingyun City has fallen, our army of three hundred thousand has been annihilated, General Ying's life or death is unknown!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the great hall gasped in shock. The Martial Emperor's dispatch had arrived not long before, and now the second dispatch had come, bringing news of the fall of Lingyun City. This proved that Lingyun City had been lost within a single day, and Ying Feiyu hadn't even managed to hold it for one day. Explore stories at m,v l'e-novelbuddy.net
Had the military strength of the North Country's army already reached such a terrifying level?
After a moment of stunned silence, the eunuch by the Martial Emperor's side quickly approached the Messenger Soldier, took the dispatch, and promptly delivered it to the Martial Emperor.
The Martial Emperor took the dispatch, quickly scanned it, and said nothing. His expression was somber; it was apparent he was in great distress.
Ever since his ascension to the throne, he had launched numerous wars and had almost never been defeated. Each war had managed to expand Great Wu's territory, bringing in a lot of land. But this time, he had not only failed to gain any land, but he had also lost such an important city in such a short period.
If everything was as described in the dispatch, then Youping County would inevitably fall to the North Country's army within half a month.
Think about it, an army entirely composed of "Grandmasters"; how many countries could stand against them? No matter how sturdy their city walls, they couldn't possibly withstand the joint assault of hundreds, perhaps thousands of Grandmasters.
Although "Grandmaster" is merely a metaphor, the use of the North Country's weapons in battle indeed resulted in a unilateral massacre.
Now, one could only hope that the main force of the North Country was in Yongan County and that their main forces could successfully invade the North Country's homeland and capture the North Prince. Otherwise, with the North Country's military strength, if Great Wu couldn't annihilate the North Country this time, they would soon be overthrown by the North Country instead.
The Martial Emperor's expression kept changing, as he couldn't understand why such terrifying weapons existed in the world.
He now finally realized why the North Country was able to annihilate the barbarians of the North Land and defeat the Tianqi King's army in such a short time.
With such devastating weapons, isn't the North Country capable of annihilating whomever they please?
Great Wu's three hundred thousand elites were defeated in a day; what could those barbarians possibly amount to?
At this moment, the great hall was profoundly silent; not a single minister spoke. The sound of people's breathing could even be heard, and just then, the Imperial Censor Zhang Yuanbai suddenly spoke out, "This minister impeaches Princess Junwan for her negligence, disregard for human life, and abuse of power!"
