Xia Feng still had the battle report he had just obtained in his arms. After stepping onto the Northern Continent, he took out the previous battle report.

A mass of Li Huo covered his palm, burning the report to ashes.

"Gu Sha, there are three hundred thousand soldiers ambushing us at the Celestial Wind border. Do you have the confidence to take them down?"

Gu Sha Grand General sneered coldly: "Rest assured, Emperor's Son! Gu Sha will not disgrace the mission!"

With that, he led a part of the troops and charged forward.

The three hundred thousand soldiers of the Celestial Wind Empire were indeed set to ambush Xia Feng and his men because they had been using sea vessels to confuse the Celestial Wind Empire.

Therefore, Emperor Tianfeng thought that even if Xia Feng had a way to bring the Great Xia Army over, it would be at most only ten thousand soldiers.

Sending three hundred thousand soldiers to ambush here was already giving them high regard, possibly even fearing the Great Xia Soldiers.

But no one expected Xia Feng to directly freeze an entire ice bridge over the Northeast Sea.

A million soldiers descended upon the Celestial Wind Empire like divine beings without any warning.

However, the generals at the Celestial Wind border were somewhat tougher than those of Great Chu, as they did not surrender at the mere mention of Xia Feng's name.

Perhaps because of the vast Northeast Sea between them, even if these soldiers heard of Xia Feng's illustrious achievements, it was just hearsay to them.

They didn't take it seriously at all, at most slightly shocked that Xia Feng had destroyed Great Chu.

The higher-ups, however, were frightened beyond measure, even contemplating advising Emperor Tianfeng to surrender directly, but he had his considerations.

"Even if he can conquer the Celestial Wind Empire, this place is so far from Great Xia, there's no way he could govern here. Everyone... should showcase our nation's prowess in this battle."

This statement sounded strange, and the ministers below had faces looking off, as if this war was just a drill, but no one dared to contradict.

Emperor Tianfeng was different from Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu was depraved, and the people below had long wanted to rebel, only suffering from lack of opportunity.

Rather than say that Xia Feng came to attack them, it would be better to say he came to save them.

But even though the Celestial Wind Empire was weak, Emperor Tianfeng was barely a decent emperor.

He surely couldn't compare with Emperor Xia, but at least the ministers and citizens were somewhat convinced of him, only occasionally having some strange bursts of whimsical ideas.

Primarily because although Emperor Tianfeng would occasionally act irrationally, his talent was not bad.

He was a Celestial Tier Eighth Layer Martial Sovereign, even if the people wanted to rebel, they didn't have the capability.

This was why Gu Sha Grand General finally got the chance to showcase his prowess.

Worried there might be other ambushes at the Celestial Wind border, he led a full force of three hundred thousand soldiers to assault the city.

The opposing soldiers hurriedly surrounded to intercept, with hardly any military discipline in the army, everyone was scattered, looking more like they were out for a leisure trip.

Standing at a high vantage point in the rear, Xia Feng frowned slightly upon witnessing this scene: "What are they up to?"

Chen Hongyu came over, with a trace of disdain on his face.

"I reckon most of them are the coastal defense troops originally stationed by the sea, never thinking they'd actually be on the battlefield one day."

"So, quite a number of these people are likely just here to pass the time."

Gu Sha Grand General initially charged forward excitedly, but upon seeing such a bunch of useless enemies, he was at a loss on how to vent his frustration.

It was like this when they fought Great Chu; the generals who came along seemed like actors on a stage play.

As long as they stood by the city wall, the enemies would surrender without a fight.

Leaving his eagerness and valiant spirit with no outlet, making him almost want to take up arms and slaughter the city out of frustration.

However, thinking of the Emperor's Son's grand cause, he took a deep breath, raised his long knife, and shouted angrily.

"Lay down your arms and you won't be killed! Surrender and you won't be killed! Kneel and you won't be killed!"

More vital than his personal thoughts was the grand cause of the Emperor's Son.

The thirty thousand soldiers across were originally noble family's children here for decoration, never really thinking they'd be on the battlefield.

And even thinking about fighting, these soldiers who had never witnessed war didn't expect it to be such a lopsided situation.

Those who were cowardly and afraid of death directly threw their weapons on the ground and knelt.

Others hesitated for a moment before following suit in surrendering.

The few who tried to resist were, after all, outnumbered; even the leading general hesitated for a moment before throwing down his weapon and kneeling.

When even the leader surrendered, those soldiers who wanted to put up a fight lost their spirit too.

Although Gu Sha Grand General won the battle, his face didn't show any joy, and he immediately returned to Xia Feng's side.

Chen Hongyu teased him: "Why the long face after winning the battle?"

Xia Feng stopped him, shaking his head: "Celestial Wind might be a place to slack off for now, but when we reach Great Li..."

He furrowed his brow slightly, swallowing the remaining sentence that would dampen his own spirits.

The Celestial Wind Empire was already weak, its national power even more unworthy compared to Great Chu.

But Great Li could rival Great Xia, it's said that Li Yuan Pavilion had more than thirty Martial Sovereigns, not to mention the previous Emperor Lis.

Even Xia Feng harbored some concerns over attacking Great Li, with the sense that things wouldn't go as smoothly.

But since Celestial Wind wasn't conquered yet, thinking about those things was premature.

He turned and addressed the generals: "Next, split into three routes to directly encircle the Celestial Wind Imperial Capital!"

Gu Sha Grand General was in charge of one route as the main commander, Chen Hongyu led another route as the main commander.

Meanwhile, Xia Feng sat in the middle route, heading straight for the Celestial Wind Imperial Capital.

The three troops gathered their forces and raised dust as they marched.

Chu Yue, following Xia Feng, was filled with boundless shame for having doubted the Emperor's Son earlier.

Especially after witnessing Xia Feng's adeptness in military strategy, Chu Yue felt that the Emperor's Son was omnipotent, as if there was nothing he didn't know or couldn't do.

Inland cities seemed to have heard of Xia Feng's achievements, basically opening their gates in advance for surrender when they arrived.

Occasionally, one or two old holdouts didn't even require Xia Feng's intervention as his generals, seizing the chance with Gu Sha and Chen Hongyu absent, went wild wanting to prove themselves.

They acted as if they were on some stimulant, eager to show Xia Feng their capability.

It was a joke; if they could fight alongside the Emperor's Son, surely they'd be written into history, and performing well now would ensure a finer mention in history.

Otherwise, the history books couldn't just say the Emperor's Son reached the gates and all soldiers had no role, and their enemies surrendered.

Then how embarrassing it would be for them to be in the books.

Gu Sha Grand General and General Chen Hongyu's route was more challenging.

Those troops noticed Xia Feng wasn't with them, and tried to resist harder.

Some went too far in their opposition, consequently, Gu Sha and Chen Hongyu ended up wielding knives, directly slaying quite a few soldiers.
