CHAPTER 593: CHAPTER 592: THE STRATEGY OF THE ALLIED FORCES

While Lin Hao was arranging for people to defend the city, in a distant place.

The Gu Emperor, with a portion of Gu Country’s elite forces, disheveled and showing signs of shock, continued to march forward.

Behind them, thick smoke was still visible in the distance, the once prosperous Gu Country Imperial City was now nothing but ruins.

Heart palpitations, surviving a disaster.

Even the Gu Emperor himself felt this way. Not to mention those elite forces following him, each one showing fear, their morale extremely low.

Without the Imperial City, Gu Country was nearly annihilated!

The powerful explosive force was experienced firsthand by these elites.

Fortunately, they had hidden in a secret passage early on to prepare for escape, avoiding death when the Imperial City was bombed.

But now, the rumbling sound of the explosion still echoed in their ears.

Those who have not experienced the relentless bombing cannot truly understand that feeling; at this moment, these Gu Country soldiers no longer wished to return to such a place, nor dared to oppose the people of Earth!

From afar, a vast team flying the flags of the Six Countries approached slowly. The Gu Emperor looked up and finally showed a hint of a smile.

All of this was within his control; now, having witnessed the power of Earth’s weapons, the Gu Emperor felt even prouder of his wise decision.

However, there were still more important tasks he had to undertake.

The battle could not be fought by Gu Country alone; the mess created by the Earth people could not be handled by Gu Country alone!

Everyone must partake, to truly share the burden.

This was also part of the Gu Emperor’s plan.

The arrival of the Six Countries’ troops here clearly indicated that they were aware of the fall of the Imperial City, but the matter could not end here.

"Giddy up!"

The Gu Emperor slapped his Golden Silk Red Cloud Horse and shot towards the Six Countries’ army vanguard like a meteor.

At the vanguard of the Six Countries’ army stood six dignified men dressed in exquisite robes.

These six individuals all possessed Emperor Cultivation, and each one’s cultivation was not inferior to the Gu Emperor’s!

One of them, seeing the Gu Emperor approaching from afar, grinned and laughed loudly before the Gu Emperor could get close: "Yo, isn’t this the Gu Emperor? Oh, I mean, should I call you Emperor Gu now? What’s the matter, lost your home and turned into a drowned rat?"

With his remark, the other five Emperors also burst into roaring laughter, showing no respect for the Gu Emperor.

The Gu Emperor was displeased inside, but his face did not show it.

He spurred his horse forward, reaching the six men, pointed towards the smoky remains of the Gu Country Imperial City, and gritted his teeth: "The people of Earth destroyed my Imperial City; this vendetta must not be shared under the heavens!"

Mentioning the Earth people, the smiles on the faces of the six Emperors dissipated somewhat, their expressions turning significantly grave.

They indeed had received battle reports and knew of Earth’s terrifying weapons.

But to retreat just like this, they could not afford such a loss of face!

Not to mention, today, with spies from various nations present here, everything happening here would spread across most of the Upper Realm, even the entire Upper Realm Plane, in a short time.

If their Six Countries, representing a million-strong army, were to show timidity and leave, that would certainly spread across the entire Upper Realm Plane.

By then, the Six Countries’ reputation would be ruined, and even if the Divine World found out about this situation, pursued the matter, they could not afford to offend!

At this moment, the six Great Emperors also felt like they were riding a tiger - difficult to dismount.

However, with Emperor Gu here, the six of them seemed much more at ease.

"Emperor Gu, this is your country. I heard that you had your elite troops escape early? Since your elite troops are still around and have an undeniable enmity with the people of Earth, why not strike back and seek revenge yourself?"

It was still the same Great Emperor who spoke, looking at Emperor Gu with a cold smile.

Emperor Gu cursed inwardly, but his face showed no signs of it.

"I originally planned to have my elite troops strike from a secret path, coordinating internally and externally, to ambush the Earth people. Who knew that the Earth people’s weapons were so powerful? You say I fled, but you need some evidence. Otherwise, if one day a Heavenly God descends from the Divine World, I will surely file a complaint against you!"

Heavenly God descends?

The six Great Emperors were shocked again. Indeed, they too were aware that everything here might be under the scrutiny of the powerful beings in the Divine World.

The enslavement by the Divine World was a matter concerning the entire plane. These emperors, savvy as they were, certainly knew that those who offended were not from the Divine World, but the powerful beings from the Eternal Life Realm. Otherwise, why would the complex and intertwined powers of the Divine World unify to exterminate the Earth people?

What Emperor Gu could think of, they could think of too!

This was also one of the reasons the Six Countries did not retreat even after seeing the formidable weaponry of the Earth people.

"Alright, enough. You two Great Emperors should not quarrel over these trivial details. Right now, we are all in the same boat. Let’s not point fingers but discuss how to deal with the Earth people instead."

An older and more senior-looking Great Emperor began to mediate.

"Yes, the Earth people are demanded by the Divine World to be enslaved. Now that they are causing trouble, and creating such a big scene, if we don’t handle this well, we won’t be able to pass the Divine World’s scrutiny."

"Let’s think about what to do next, and talk about other things later."

Two more emperors started to smooth things over, then the room quieted down. Just when it quieted down, a scout came to report: "Report! The Earth people are beginning to garrison over the ruins of the Gu Country Imperial City!"

"Garrison? Are they planning to hold their ground? I don’t believe they don’t know we are coming." A Great Emperor expressed doubt.

Another Emperor pondered, "Could it be that they don’t take our million-strong army seriously?"

"I suggest we charge, swarm them all at once, I don’t believe their Earth weapons can kill over a million soldiers!" Emperor Gu suggested coldly, his eyes flicking.

With his suggestion, the six Great Emperors suddenly became alert.

"Why don’t we each deploy ten thousand soldiers from our nations, making a total of seventy thousand, and charge together?"

Someone suggested, immediately gaining the support of the other five country emperors.

Now, no fool would risk all their assets. As for Emperor Gu? None took him seriously.

"Well, you guys go die then! Only ten thousand? You go yourself, this Emperor won’t join!" Emperor Gu clearly dissatisfied, his expression angry.

"What do you want?" the Great Emperors of the Six Countries almost unanimously exclaimed.

"At least half, charge together!" Emperor Gu corners of his mouth lifted in a cold smirk, "Maybe we could storm the city. You all should know, the Earth people’s cultivation is not that great!"

At his words, everyone fell silent again, the six Great Emperors seemed to be considering the possibility of storming the city.

Meanwhile, atop the walls of the Gu Country Imperial City.

Lin Hao had already brought important members to the city tower, looking far into the horizon.

"Is that the Seven Countries Alliance Army?" Through the telescope, Lin Hao could clearly see the entire Alliance Army.

"What should we do? If they charge together, after two rounds of cannon fire, they will definitely storm the city. Once it comes down to close combat, we are sure to lose." Lin Guodong was very worried.

"Then let’s hit them with two rounds of cannon fire first!" Lin Hao said with a cold laugh, fearless, and commanded loudly: "Predict the enemy’s charge path, full coverage with the cannons!"
