Chapter 668: 668
The Great Zhou Empire, the great hall of the palace .
In the great hall, Zhou Qing sat on the throne . Numerous strategic experts and powerful generals were below . At this moment, a tense atmosphere filled the entire hall .
The source of tension was due to a previous urgent report . According to the report of scouts, there had been great movements within the Great Wu Empire, and many troops from various regions had gathered around the Great Zhou’s border .
The army was exuding battle intent .
In these two years, the Great Wu Empire had abandoned its previous expansion in other areas and were instead focusing on the Great Zhou’s border, creating constant conflicts .
This made everyone aware that the Great Wu Empire intended to attack the Great Zhou Empire .
And after two years of preparation, it seemed the Great Wu Empire was about to take action .
Inside the great hall, everybody, including Zhou Qing, wore solemn expressions on their faces . Although the Great Zhou’s strength had improved in recent years, compared to the Great Wu Empire, they were undoubtedly still at a disadvantage .
And most importantly, King Wu was an expert of the Divine Dwelling stage .
On the battlefield, the effect that an expert of the Divine Dwelling stage could achieve was undoubtedly decisive .
Zhou Qing’s strength had been restored, but he was still only at the eighth layer of the Alpha-Origin stage . Thus there was still a huge gap between him and King Wu .
Zhou Qing’s heart was heavy, but he did not show it in the slightest . He peered down at the high-ranking military officers . Standing in front was Wei Canglan, whose strength had also risen to the seventh layer of the Alpha-Origin stage over the past two years .
“General, since the Great Wu intends to invade, our Great Zhou must defend,” Zhou Qing said in a low voice .
Wei Canglan gave a cupped fist salute . There was a solemn expression on his face . “This subordinate will immediately rush to the border and is ready to fight at any time . ”
It was just that his eyes were flickering with worry . After all, the Great Wu was too strong . Even if the Great Zhou’s strength had increased dramatically over these years, they still might not be able to defeat them .
He turned around and exchanged a glance with the slender and tall girl behind him . She was Wei Qingqing .
She was also aware of the trace of worry in Wei Canglan’s eyes, but she could only sigh gently .
“Your Majesty, the Great Wu is too powerful, we won’t have any advantage if we fight them head on,” a voice suddenly sounded . Wei Canglan turned around . The speaker was a black-robed man, the Black Venom King .
The Black Venom King was also a little bitter . Zhou Yuan had captured him back then and had set him under his control with a spirit agreement . But in the past two years, the Black Venom King had been living comfortably in the Great Zhou . If the Great Wu intended to invade the Great Zhou, his enjoyable days could come to an end if a war were to break out .
After all, the Black Venom King was also very clear about the power of the Great Wu . Just King Wu alone, an expert of the Divine Dwelling stage, was difficult to defeat and could easily influence the war situation .
Zhou Qing indifferently darted a glance at him, saying, “Then, you mean you want my Great Zhou to surrender?”
The Black Venom King gave an embarrassed smile . How would he not know about the hatred between Zhou Qing and King Wu? He knew it was impossible for them to compromise, so he could only sigh bitterly .
Although the Black Venom King did not utter a word again, his unconfident performance also affected many people, causing the great hall to become more depressed .
Zhou Qing felt a sense of powerlessness rising in his heart when he saw this scene . He had tried to increase the strength of the Great Zhou as much as possible over the past years . Some puppets dug out from the Black Abyss had also become trump cards for the Great Zhou to fight against the Great Wu . But could these stop King Wu, who was at the Divine Dwelling stage?
“Report!”
In this depressing atmosphere, another urgent report came .
A soldier quickly darted into the great hall, knelt on one knee and reported, “Your Majesty, the Eagle pavilion received intelligence from the Shengzhou Continent . ”
“The Shengzhou Continent?” Zhou Qing was taken aback . He naturally knew about the Shengzhou Continent, which was entirely different from a remote place like the Cangmang Continent . It was also at the center of the Cangxuan Heaven .
However, the Shengzhou Continent and the Cangmang Continent were extremely far from each other . Zhou Qing did not pay attention to the happenings in the Shengzhou Continent until Zhou Yuan left the Great Zhou and joined the Cangxuan Sect . After that, he had spent considerable money on the intelligent department to collect information about the Shengzhou Continent .
Thinking of this, Zhou Qing’s heart suddenly beat faster . “Is there news about Yuan’er?”
There was a sudden rush of excitement in his heart . It had been two years since Zhou Yuan had gone to the Cangxuan Sect, and during this period of time he hadn’t received any information about him .
I wonder how my child is?
It was said that the number of talents in the Cangxuan Sect was as many as the number of clouds . Is Yuan’er okay there?
