Eastern Plains
At this moment, the scene here was bustling with activity.
Unlike the current situation where the entire Human Emperor faction faced defeat everywhere, even the Gateway to the Abyss had been breached by the forces of Dragon City, the Human Emperor's Army displayed an exceptionally strong fighting spirit. It seemed that for the assembled Army here, there were no enemies they could not defeat and no fortresses they could not breach!
For those who had a deeper understanding of the Human Emperor's Army, they would know that this was the core Army that initially followed the Human Emperor in his eastward and westward campaigns—the Bloodwind Army.
At this time, within the Bloodwind Army, there were fewer than ten thousand troops remaining. It could be said that any Army pulled from under the Human Emperor would outnumber the Bloodwind Army several times over.
However!
Even those formidable forces with a fearsome reputation dared not look directly at the flag of the Bloodwind Army.
Slicing Shadow stood before the formation of the Bloodwind Army, squinting slightly as he observed the flag and the figure beneath it.
Breaking Cloud Sail!
The most valued individual under the command of the Human Emperor since Yang Fuhai departed. If there was a hint of brotherly affection in how much the Human Emperor valued Yang Fuhai, then Breaking Cloud Sail was undoubtedly the strongest general within the entire faction of the Human Emperor!
Even Slicing Shadow, who usually looked down on so-called martial prowess, had to admire him—though admiration did not mean he considered himself inferior to this person.
In the months following the Human Emperor's retreat into seclusion, they had continuously clashed with Dragon City’s forces and even faced troubles from the southern Great Bright Path, led by their so-called saintess. Of course, what troubled them most was still the challenge posed by the enhanced strength of the Jiao Dragon Clan after absorbing Primordial Energy!
If it could be said that once all coastal areas and nearby seas were under their control, now they could not even secure many of their near-cliff ports!
He even suspected that if Dragon City’s power were not primarily concentrated in the divine realm at present, they might not be able to retain more than half of their territory!
And even during this low point for the power of the Human Emperor, Breaking Cloud Sail had never suffered a defeat! Even in coastal regions, if he had not appeared with the Blood Cloud Army to turn things around, just with the Four Sea Dragon Kings leading the Jiao Dragon Clan, they would have likely already reached their shores!
In that battle, Breaking Cloud Sail, with his own strength, resisted both the powerful East Sea Dragon King and South Sea Dragon King, directly severing command within the Jiao Dragon Clan. His astonishing strength silenced those who had always doubted why he was so heavily favored by the Human Emperor!
Unfortunately, there was only one Blood Cloud Army and only one Breaking Cloud Sail within the entire Human Emperor's Army!
Aside from him, who also had not faced any defeats, all other fronts were in crisis!
Fortunately, this situation is about to come to an end!
Slicing Shadow reluctantly withdrew his gaze and reined in his ambitions.
One day, I will prove to the world that even without astonishing power, I can still become the greatest general under heaven!
At that moment, Slicing Shadow suddenly felt a chill in the air around him as a figure appeared on the cliff.
Everyone present fell silent.
Though there was only one person, he exerted an overwhelming pressure on the battle-hardened Blood Cloud Army, making it seem as if the sky darkened because of his presence!
Even the usually arrogant Breaking Cloud Sail displayed an expression of utmost respect.
“Human Emperor!”
The collective shout of thousands echoed across the land, but no matter how powerful their voices were, they could not match the impact those two words carried!
All the Emperor's General showed signs of excitement. They had been feeling too stifled lately.
The Human Emperor had been focused on enhancing his own strength through the utilization of the Eight Dragon Emperors and the distribution of other powers, which meant that the average strength of his side had fallen behind that of Dragon City.
To put it more directly, aside from Breaking Cloud Sail, there were no other experts among them who could stand against the strengthened Four Sea Dragon Kings!
And now, the Human Emperor had emerged ahead of schedule!
Looking at the expressions of the generals below, Human Emperor smiled coldly: “It seems that while I was away, Dragon City has done quite well for themselves, enough to make you loyal generals lose your confidence in victory!”
“This…” Upon hearing Human Emperor's words, everyone except for a few like Slicing Shadow showed expressions of shame.
Indeed! When they followed Human Emperor on campaigns and achieved victory after victory, Dragon City was still unaware of what was happening. Had they really begun to fear them now?
These consecutive battles and defeats—aside from Dragon City's impressive rise in strength—wasn't there also a psychological factor at play?
Back then, they faced formidable enemies from all directions whose overall strength far surpassed theirs, yet everyone fought bravely and came up with various strategies.
"Your Majesty, Blood Cloud Army has fulfilled its duty!" Breaking Cloud Sail spoke calmly without boasting about his achievements, distinguishing himself from those "mediocre" individuals.
"Good! I knew I did not misjudge you!" A hint of approval appeared in the Human Emperor's eyes. "Now that I have emerged, where do you think we should begin our counterattack?"
Having been overshadowed by Breaking Cloud Sail, Slicing Shadow stepped forward unwilling to fall behind and said, "Your Majesty, we believe it is better for us to remain still rather than act at this moment!"
"What!" The first to react were not the Human Emperor but the generals below. "Slicing Shadow, what do you mean! Now that His Majesty has come out, we should certainly teach those arrogant Dragon City a lesson! Do you want His Majesty to hold back and endure their advances?"
Compared to Breaking Cloud Sail, their jealousy towards Slicing Shadow was even greater!
After all, Breaking Cloud Sail's strength was evident. But what about Slicing Shadow? His strength was clearly inferior to many of the generals, yet he had gained his current position through mere cleverness!
What was even more infuriating was that this time, the kid had remarkably good luck; Blood Cloud Army's undefeated record was genuinely earned through battle.
But what about Slicing Shadow? He relied on the Giant Clan he somehow managed to recruit and faced no strong enemies, yet he also boasted an undefeated record!
"Hmph!" Unfazed by the collective criticism, Slicing Shadow dismissed them; for him, only one person's opinion held any value!
