After the , synchronized footsteps could be heard as hundreds of arures stood soleuards

Furthermore, their armor showed that they were from the Great Xia

”The Minister of Rites is here with a decree froh the night sky

”Minister of Rites?! Why will the Minister of Rites come here?” A head popped out from the city walls and looked down at the squad doubtfully

”The Eates!”

”It really is an E Hou ih the soldiers of the Great Xia had e victorious in the battle at the Icy Monkey Settlement, they were still trapped

The Stable Mountain Gate had been breached and tens of thousands have been held prisonerFurther this army to fend for themselves

The Great Xia would be unable to reinforce the 40,000 soldiers only had two choicesThey could either wait for reinforcements here, or they could follow the initial plan and strike at the heart of the Southern Regions

Prima facie

The first option was not bad at allThey could prevent further losses and the rations in the Icy Monkey Settle time

However, no smart man would choose this option

What was the Icy reat settlen territoryTo put it even more plainly, threats to their lives were everywhere

Even though they had control over the Icy Monkey Settlement, that was about all they hadIt would be virtually impossible for them to hold this position

The citizens here would never cooperate with the Great XiaTothe defence

Furthermore

Season and weather were a concern

Winter was co, and the soldiers of the Great Xia weren't prepared for itIf the battle dragged on, they would all freeze to death

Rob?

This was not a bad ideaHowever, if they really did that, Xing Yuanguo would immediately execute the culprits

They were effectively left with one choice

The would stab straight at the Sagely Mountain City

40,000 soldiers was not an extreon Protection Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army, they had a decent chance

Of course

They needed the element of surprise

In other words, they had to be quickThey needed to strike before news of the Southern Region Defeat reached the Sagely Mountain City

They had to strike before defences could be set up

They would attack the city and seal the victory for the Great Xia Dynasty

In actual fact, this was the Emperor's plan from the startOf course, the number of soldiers was insufficient, but for the Great Xia to send millions of soldiers

That would be i the losses and the costs, the terrain itself was the biggest unknownIt would be like throwing thousands of lions into a forest

The sheer nuh

They were unfamiliar with the terrainCoupled with the ferocious beasts that roa one

The Southern Regions could afford it
