Far in the west, in the direction that represented the Western Turkic Khaganate, Ishbara Khagan’s star dimmed, and at the same time, another star brightened. This was not Irbis Shiyun’s star, but Barshad’s.
Not only that, the moment Barshad was enthroned, the earthly energies and the Dragon Qi of the world changed. The kingly energies of the other countries also shifted. The Dragon Qi of the Great Tang to the south brightened while the Eastern Turks’ Dragon Qi fell into turmoil.
Even the clear heavens above Youzhou showed signs of disturbance.
The heavens had changed far too much, far too quickly, transforming into a stormy sea.
Even an experienced strategist like Gao Shang felt an indescribable shock at this development.
Moments after Gao Shang had finished speaking, the messenger called out.
“Your Excellency! Bad news! The Western Turks have sent a message! Fourth Prince Barshad has ascended to the throne and allied with the Great Tang against the Goguryeo Empire!
“In addition, the Western Turkic Khaganate has declared war against the Eastern Turkic Khaganate and has already begun to battle it!”
“！！！”
“!!!”
Shock!
Incredible shock!
The master and his subordinates stood atop the tower, their minds blank.
Too many things had happened this day.
It was one thing for the Western Turkic Khaganate to side with the Great Tang, but why had it also declared war on the Eastern Turkic Khaganate?
Most importantly, how, despite their overwhelming advantage, with Supreme Divine, Meteor Divine, Irbis Shiyun, and Ishbara Khagan all in favor, had the Western Turks ultimately decided to side with the Great Tang?
There were still many unclear details.
Whoosh!
As An Yaluoshan and his men reeled in shock from the news, a few seconds later, they heard the flapping of wings. Looking up, they saw a golden falcon with the emblem of the Eastern Turkic Khaganate descend toward the tower.
Cui Qianyou personally received this bird, his hand exerting a pull that drew the falcon into his grip.
As he opened the letter, his tough face paled.
“Your Excellency, Ozmish Khagan has sent word that the army of the Western Turkic Khaganate just mobilized and assaulted the khaganate. The two sides are engaged in a fierce battle at the border!
“The Eastern Turkic Khaganate was caught off guard and has suffered heavy losses! They’re requesting reinforcements!”
The wall tower fell silent. Even the hardiest of the generals was somewhat at a loss, somewhat panicked.
As for An Yaluoshan, his face had twisted into a nasty scowl.
“Bastard!”
An Yaluoshan clenched his fists in anger.
“The Western Turks shouldn’t have joined the Great Tang so easily. What in the world happened?”
An Yaluoshan stood atop the tower, coldly staring at the messenger below.
Even though the weather was cold, the prostrate Youzhou messenger had broken out in a cold sweat.
“It was a sudden development, so we don’t know the details, but there are rumors… that the Great Tang’s King of Foreign Lands appeared in the Western Turkic Khaganate!”
“What?!”
Everyone on the tower grimaced.
Wang Chong?!
Wasn’t he at the steel fortress in the Cang Province? How could he have crossed that vast distance and arrived in the land of the Western Turks?
How?!
“I heard that, in the battle at the capital, four people attacked Genesis Supreme,” Tian Qianzhen suddenly said. “Besides Wang Chong, there were three people who looked exactly like him. It now appears that this rumor was true. It seems that man in the capital has cultivated some sort of cloning ability.”
He had a force under his command specifically meant for gathering intelligence, and he had read this in one of the reports.
A clone!
This was an almost mythical ability that surpassed the bounds of martial arts. Thus, none of them had believed this news when they first read about it. As for Genesis Supreme, he had remained aloof, disdaining to speak with mortals, so they had never gotten the full story on what had happened in the capital.
But it now seemed that they had to believe that rumor.
“Your Excellency, what do we do now?” A voice broke the oppressive stillness.
The Western Turkic Khaganate had been an extremely important part of their plan.
