Chapter 516 In Wenzhou City
On the battlefield, the three streams of energy intertwined, forming dazzling beams of light.
Although the fierce general wielding the knife was incredibly brave, he gradually showed signs of defeat under the combined attack of Pei Xingyan and Li Jinlong.
The purple aura emanating from his body began to dim and lose its luster as it intertwined with the silver-white and golden-yellow aura.
Each swing of his sword required him to exert even greater effort to withstand the two men's fierce attacks.
Pei Xingyan and Li Jinlong were overjoyed upon seeing this.
They knew that victory in this battle already belonged to them.
The two shouted simultaneously, "Kill!"
He swung his weapon again, and the silver-white and golden qi were like two bolts of lightning, instantly tearing through the purple qi of the sword-wielding general and heading straight for his heart.
The fierce general wielding the knife was greatly alarmed by the sharpness of the two men's aura.
Knowing he could no longer withstand the attack, he cried out, "My life is over!"
However, it was too late, and he ultimately could not escape this calamity.
With a deafening roar, he was struck simultaneously by Pei Xingyan and Li Jinlong's weapons. He froze, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and swayed on his horse, clearly on the verge of collapse.
With so many vassal kings banding together for mutual support, it's impossible that they couldn't offer any talented individuals, with only a few outstanding generals.
However, at this time, most of the main forces of the vassal alliance had gone to the south to Quezhou, so this place could only be considered as a secondary concern.
But it's not like there are only these three low-level divine generals. King Lu wouldn't be so foolish as to think that with just three divine generals, he could snatch meat from the hands of Long Junzuo, who is at the level of the Nine Heavens Army and a top-level war god and also holds the Great Yong Dragon Sparrow Army.
Currently, under the command of the allied forces of the Prince of Lu, there is still a general of battlefield caliber.
But now, this war god has already followed Su Qin, the chief strategist under King Lu, and is quietly infiltrating Wenzhou City from the other side, with his target being another war god in the city—Qian Dacong.
Long Junzuo dared to take the risk alone, leading the newly recruited Wenzhou army out of the city to test the waters, so he certainly wouldn't leave no backup plan in Wenzhou City.
Qian Dacong was a key pawn he had laid out, guarding this last escape route.
Su Qin was eloquent and resourceful in his persuasive skills within the alliance of vassal kings; his persuasive abilities were unparalleled.
At this moment, he and the God of War quietly arrived outside Qian Dazong's residence, waiting for their opportunity.
Inside the tent where Qian Dazong was stationed, the candlelight flickered, illuminating three solemn faces.
Su Qin, the chief strategist of the King of Lu, stood before Qian Dazong, speaking earnestly, trying to persuade this war god-like general to leave the city and support Long Junzuo.
"General Qian, I have heard of your name like thunder in my ears. You are a loyal and brave man, unparalleled in this world."
Su Qin spoke, his words full of respect, "However, in these turbulent times, one tree cannot hold up the whole forest. How can you, General, sit idly by and watch General Long Junzuo fall into such a predicament?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Dazong frowned and remained silent in thought.
He knew that Long Junzuo's journey was extremely risky, but he also knew that as one of the war gods in Wenzhou City, he had a great responsibility and could not act rashly.
"General, consider this: General Long Junzuo's strategy of leading his army deep into enemy territory is truly for the greater good. If he fails, how will Wenzhou City survive?"
"Although our allied forces of vassal kings are not of the imperial court's legitimacy, we also understand the principle of mutual dependence."
"I am willing to work with the general to plan important matters, not for personal gain, but to ensure the peace and tranquility of Wenzhou."
Seeing this, Su Qin knew that Su Qin's mind was not yet made up, so he spoke again.
"Among our allied forces"
There are also generals of god-like caliber, possessing unparalleled martial arts skills and combining wisdom and courage.
"If the general is willing to join forces with us to defeat the Nine Heavens Army, we can not only relieve Long Junzuo's siege, but also bring a glimmer of hope to Wenzhou."
"Once this is accomplished, General, you will not only be able to protect Wenzhou, but you will also be able to use this opportunity to make a name for yourself and achieve an immortal feat."
At this point, Su Qin changed his tone, becoming even more sincere.
Su Qin's words were earnest and insightful, striking a chord with Qian Dacong.
He knew that Qian Dazong, as a war god, possessed a proud spirit and a desire to achieve immortal feats.
Now, Su Qin's words have touched upon what he desires.
After listening, Qian Dazong weighed the matter carefully in his mind.
This decision concerns the safety of Wenzhou and the honor and disgrace of the entire state.
If what Su Qin said is true, and the allied forces are willing to lend a helping hand, it can not only relieve Long Junzuo's siege, but also bring a glimmer of hope to Wenzhou.
"Mr. Su Qin is right, but I also know that this matter is of great importance and should not be acted upon lightly."
Thinking of this, Qian Dazong slowly spoke.
"General, you are absolutely right. This matter is of great importance and should be handled with caution. However, our allied forces are truly sincere in our willingness to work with you on this important matter. If you are willing to join forces with us, we will certainly do our utmost to defeat the enemy."
Upon hearing this, Su Qin was overjoyed, knowing that Qian Dazong was already wavering, and then said...
"This is the covenant of our allied forces, and we are willing to uphold it together with the general. If the general is willing to join forces with us, he only needs to sign his name on this covenant, and we will immediately leave the city to meet with General Long Junzuo and jointly attack the Nine Heavens Army."
At this point, Su Qin took out a secret letter from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.
Qian Dazong took the secret letter and examined it carefully.
Seeing that the words were sincere and the covenant was clear, he nodded inwardly.
They felt this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if they missed it, they would regret it too late.
"General, the opportunity is fleeting. If you hesitate, you may miss it."
"Our allied forces are truly sincere in their desire to work with you on important matters. We hope you will reconsider."
Seeing his hesitation, Su Qin pressed on and spoke again.
Qian Dazong understood immediately after hearing this.
He knew this was a matter of great importance concerning the safety of Wenzhou, and that he could not act rashly.
However, it is also known that if, as Su Qin said, the allied forces are willing to lend a helping hand, it can not only relieve Long Junzuo's siege, but also bring a glimmer of hope to Wenzhou.
With this in mind, Qian Dazong pondered for a moment and then resolutely signed his name on the covenant.
"Mr. Su Qin, I have made my decision. I am willing to stand with the allied forces and go out of the city to support General Long Junzuo."
Qian Dazong spoke firmly and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Su Qin and the other man.
Su Qin was overjoyed upon seeing this.
"General, your noble character is truly admirable. Therefore, we urge you to make preparations immediately so we can leave the city at once and join General Long Junzuo to jointly attack the enemy and protect our Wenzhou!"
Knowing that his persuasion had succeeded and that Qian Dazong had agreed to join forces with the allied forces to fight against the Nine Heavens Army, he bowed and said.
With Qian Dacong's decision, Wenzhou City, a formidable city as solid as a rock, was persuaded by Su Qin to easily welcome the allied forces of the vassal kings without losing a single soldier.
As dawn broke, the city gates slowly opened, and the allied forces surged in like a tide, yet remained orderly and without the slightest chaos.
Beside Su Qin stood the war god, named Guan Changcun, with a tall and upright figure and a resolute face.
The two walked side by side, leading the allied forces deep into Wenzhou City.
