Outside Jin'an King's City, Lu Fan and his group stood tall, their gazes growing even more indifferent. Dealing with this royal city was not a difficult task.
This time, a million-strong army was enough to engulf the entire Jin'an King's City. Yet, for some reason, the Jin'an King's Mansion remained so tranquil.
"There's a barrier within the royal city!"
Frowning slightly, the leader Long Ting spoke, "Shall we attack directly? Shatter this barrier, and then we can enter the royal city!"
"Since it's a royal city's barrier, it's likely not that simple!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "Moreover, wouldn't it be even better if we could capture the entire Jin'an King's Mansion without deploying a single soldier?"
Facing these words, the Dragon Court leader felt a bit awkward. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to speak like this, leaving him somewhat bewildered.
Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't have been like this. At least in his opinion, if the Jin'an King intended to rebel, why wouldn't he deploy any soldiers?
"I am Lu Fan, the Heavenly Court's Commander-in-Chief. Have the Jin'an King come to see me!"
Lu Fan's voice rang out, his gaze sweeping towards the soldiers, his expression becoming more indifferent.
The city guards glanced at Lu Fan, their brows furrowing slightly. They dared not delay Lu Fan's request to see the Jin'an King.
After all, no matter what, the person before them was the Heavenly Court's Commander-in-Chief, leading a million-strong army, which instilled a sense of apprehension in them.
"The Heavenly Court's Commander-in-Chief has arrived at my Jin'an King's City. For what purpose do you come?"
The Jin'an King appeared, a smile on his lips as he looked at Lu Fan, his words utterly unreserved.
"Jin'an King, you should know the consequences of opposing the Heavenly Court!"
Lu Fan stated, "Submit now, open the city gates, and hand over that traitor. Perhaps you might still have a sliver of hope!"
"What a colossal joke! As the Jin'an King, can I still be threatened by you!"
The Jin'an King sneered, a faint cold glint in his eyes as he stared coldly at Lu Fan.
Facing these words, Lu Fan's expression remained indifferent. "Have you thought it through? If you truly intend to be an enemy of the Heavenly Dynasty, it will undoubtedly be a catastrophe for you!"
"Unleash whatever abilities you possess. Since I have chosen this path, I will never retreat!"
The Jin'an King's expression was cold, carrying a chilling aura, and his gaze was sharp.
In response to these words, Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Since the Jin'an King has said so, then I shall fulfill the Jin'an King's wish. I will not disappoint you!"
"Unleash whatever abilities you have, feel free to try!" the Jin'an King said with full confidence.
"Your Jin'an King's Mansion has no more than a hundred thousand elite soldiers. How can you possibly resist a million?"
Princess Bei'an spoke, "Surrender quickly, lest you invite unwarranted disaster and have your entire Jin'an King's Mansion buried with you!"
"As you say, the Jin'an King's Mansion has a hundred thousand elite soldiers and dares to rebel against the dynasty. Where do you think my confidence comes from?" The Jin'an King burst into laughter.
"I sense the aura of the Hell Dynasty!"
Lu Fan's lips curved slightly. "Could it be that the Jin'an King's Mansion has colluded with the Hell Dynasty?"
"As expected of the Heavenly Court's Commander-in-Chief. Both in bearing and in foresight, you are so precise!"
The Jin'an King nodded. "You are correct. I have long reached an agreement with the Hell Dynasty. In the near future, I will become the Lord of the Heavenly Court, and the Hell Dynasty and the Heavenly Court will live in harmony, with no more wars."
"You are truly too naive!"
Lu Fan shook his head. "The Hell Dynasty harbors ambitions of a wolf. They will never be satisfied with you. After they destroy the Heavenly Dynasty, you will be their next target!"
"Stop your nonsensical talk. I will not listen to you!"
The Jin'an King said coldly. "To tell you the truth, I have already promised the Hell Dynasty ten cities. This is the price I have paid!"
"To seize the Heavenly Dynasty, you are willing to sacrifice ten cities. The Jin'an King truly has a grand gesture!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, a surge of anger within him. At least in his view, this matter should not have unfolded this way.
Concurrently, Lu Fan could clearly sense that the arrogance of the people in the Jin'an King's Mansion did not take the entire Heavenly Court seriously at all.
"The Jin'an King's Mansion has made its decision. We need not show any mercy!"
Princess Bei'an spoke with indifference in her expression, her killing intent sharp. The actions of the Jin'an King's Mansion naturally displeased them.
"Deploy troops to the Jin'an King's Mansion!"
Lu Fan's voice was icy and resolute. With the Jin'an King's Mansion having reached this point, they naturally would not hesitate. At least in their view, this matter was not so simple.
Following this command, the million-strong army surged forth, carrying an unparalleled momentum, charging towards the Jin'an King's Mansion.
Outside the Jin'an King's Mansion, a barrier was instantly activated, directly resisting the million-strong army. However, everyone was well aware that with just this barrier, it was a fool's dream to stop a million-strong army.
"Prince Hei Yan, the Heavenly Dynasty's army has reached the city gates. When will the Hell Dynasty send troops?" the Jin'an King asked. "If there is no aid soon, I fear my Jin'an King's Mansion will be buried in this sea of people!"
"Rest assured, I will not disappoint you!" Prince Hei Yan smiled. "However, this matter is not that simple. The people of the Hell Dynasty have been dispatched, but it will take some time to reach the Jin'an King's Mansion. Please hold them off for a while!"
The Jin'an King nodded slightly, his eyes filled with solemnity. Although he did not know how long the Jin'an King's Mansion could hold out, as long as the soldiers of the Hell Dynasty arrived, the crisis for the Jin'an King's Mansion would be resolved.
More importantly, at that time, the entire Jin'an King's Mansion would control the Heavenly Court and become its master. This was an unparalleled honor for him.
With this thought, the Jin'an King's lips curled into a sinister smile, carrying a chilling intent. This was what he cared about most. If he could achieve it, it would naturally be for the best.
Meanwhile, the offensive of the million-strong army grew fiercer, causing considerable turmoil. However, breaking through this city was not an easy task.
"If my guess is correct, reinforcements from the Hell Dynasty will arrive soon, and that will not be good for us!"
Princess Bei'an spoke with a solemn expression.
"If my guess is not wrong, the protective formation of the entire Jin'an King's City will completely fail before long," Lu Fan shrugged. "We just need to wait a moment, there's no need to worry too much!"
Princess Bei'an stood stunned. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to be so calm. His calmness made him feel a prickle of unease.
At the same time, the army surged into the royal city like the wind, appearing exceptionally terrifying.
