Chapter 358: Mayhem in Phoenix (Part 2)Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

During all that commotion between the nobles in Phoenix, the Qin army stationed in Goodrid City had been able to invade Phoenix without any hindrance Such an event had never before happened in the history of Qin

Besidesto the imperial family and Holy Rock City’s army, the Qin imperial faic towns along the border In other words, the army in Goodrid City was under the direct purview of the Qin imperial family After this army had invaded Phoenix, the eun questioning the legitimacy of Holy Rock City

Everyone knew that the current e, and before the eic tower all along, relying on theperiod of reading, the e a chance to even practice martial arts Obviously, an emperor like this would never win the respect of his people

At this moment, the nobles believed that Holy Rock City had been dominated by Prince Safilos Prince Safilos did not dare ascend the throne, yet he tried to contrive against the land belonging to the Grand Duke of Phoenix

The nobles in Phoenix put up very strong resistance, because if Phoenix was nullified, they would be left with nothing Safilos would definitely give Phoenix to his offspring and confidantes

Even though the centuries of peace had caused the defense in Phoenix to slacken, Phoenix was still a part of Qin at the end of the day, and the culture of ered nobles across the land had cooperated with one another, i

In all, the Qin army in Goodrid City consisted of four swordse platoon, and the soldiers were split into two teams On one side, one team would advance two hundred miles north to capture Grant City, while the other tea so would effectively destroy all contact between Phoenix and Loulan

Even though Phoenix was a duchy situated in the northern region, it relied on food for livelihood as its soil was fertile The only flaw in this duchy was that it did not have metal mineral reserves, hence most weapons had to be procured from other places As a result, when the army from the Goodrid City disrupted Phoenix’s route to the external world, the nobles in Phoenix grew flustered

As it inter currently, troop movements were made difficult, so the nobles in Phoenix could still hold the fort But once springtie-scale offensive Since the route to the external world was cut off, the supply of weapons would crumble Thus the empire’s army could take their sweet time and encroach the land slowly

But what caused the nobles in Phoenix to be most terrified was that they had heard ru produced by Holy Rock City These puppets would be delivered to the northern region to be used to assault the duchy’s city

The moment Piac learned of this news, he did not dare stay in Deep Forest Town anymore He immediately took his assets, followed the iven him, and escaped to the northeastern direction Piac had also forht to meet Saleen, it was possible that Saleen would kill hi his escape, he had specially gone to meet two of his friends, Suha and Peter

These two viscounts had already received confirmation that the war puppets from Holy Rock City had been delivered to Goodrid City, and not by springtime as stated before If they still did not escape, they could possibly be obliterated by the Qin’s army since they only had about one thousand soldiers in all

After listening to Piac’s narrative, Saleen analyzed the aforehed in his heart These nobles are too cowardly They chose to abandon their land before the war puppets fro these people out? There is no use keeping the his disappointed expression The two viscounts noticed Saleen’s expression, and their hearts beat wildly, feeling extree,” Suha e and called out

“Yes?”

“It’s not that we did not want to resist, but our lands do not even have a single e Once the war puppets descend upon us, there is no e, you can’t defend yourselves against war puppets?” Saleen replied in a hostile tone

Jola, as standing behind Saleen, then said, “Sir, it’s true Unless there is a grand e, the war puppets can easily tear down the defenses of a fortress”

Saleen pondered, and felt that Jola’s words made sense Ever since the de war puppets It’s already been two years, right? Given the capabilities of the e the war puppets, the war puppets should be extre to use the war puppets to deal with the Holy See? Why were they deployed to Phoenix instead?

What rong in Holy Rock City? Sending the e to the nobles is an act which will destabilize the eht?

Seeing that Saleen remained silent, Suha became a little nervous He wiped away so to serve County King Lex loyally We have specially brought along the elite troops from the family and the deeds to the land”

“Oh? That’s pretty good,” Saleen s the deeds to the land, Lex would enjoy a legal advantage should she ah power to vie for Phoenix in the future However, it was i with Holy Rock City now After all, the situation in Loulan was deteriorating

Then again, the army from Goodrid City had cut off Phoenix from the external world, thus it would be kind of impossible for Saleen to enter Sikeqinya via land If he wanted to get there by sea, the northern ocean would be frozen for alht ht with perils In that case, to access Lianyun City from Saleen’s city, the only method was the port

This did not bode well for a newly constructed city However, Saleen did not have the power to revolt against Holy Rock City The strength of Holy Rock City’s army was clearly imprinted in Saleen’s s, but their poere severely restrained Holy Rock City sis would be fleeing

Saleen was not sure if Holy Rock City still had other es ere as powerful as Joey At this point in time, Saleen realized that his promise to return to Holy Rock City to meet Joey had not been fulfilled
