Chapter 1822: The Decisive Battle Begins

ter, society hasn't had time to recover. At this time, the Qin Dynasty absolutely couldn't withstand another surge in prices, or the people would truly revolt.This battle wasn't one the imperial court...Chapter 1822: The Final Battle Begins

The Liao army's general attack came as swiftly and powerfully as their military style dictated: still and silent until they moved, then a thunderous force unstoppable in its advance.

The rocket blazing across the sky resembled a fiery banner, its vast expanse sweeping across half the heavens and rolling towards Mount Wolong, where the Qin army lay.

Li Chen looked up, fortunately it was ice and snow at this time, the snow was deep and the trees were withered. Otherwise, if it were summer, this fire rain alone would be enough to roast all living things in Wulong Mountain.

But even so, this spectacular firestorm still caused immense damage.

Countless withered trees transformed into inferno, flames surging skyward, fueled by the winter night's icy wind. A thick stench of tar and burnt wood accompanied the swirling ash kicked up by the burning trees, causing coughs to wrack throats.

And amidst the raging inferno, one could see that half the sky was filled with thick black smoke and flying ash. Without even waiting for a detailed report, Li Chen knew that in the area covered by the fire rain, wherever Qin troops were stationed, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

But, war, has never been without casualties.

This kind of loss was well within Li Chen's expectations.

He can handle it.

And the Liao army would inevitably have to pay a much heavier price.

At this moment, footsteps outside are crashing in like a flood, the battle has begun. Li Chen's safety is paramount and absolutely cannot be taken lightly.

Footsteps reached the doorway and then stopped. Immediately afterward, a more scattered and dense sound of footsteps came closer. The room where Li Chen was located was completely surrounded, inside and out. From this moment on, even if Wu Qingcang arrived in person, he would have to wait outside for inspection.

No one is allowed to approach without Li Chen's personal permission. Anyone who approaches will be killed on sight.

"Halt!"

Indeed, a low growl came from outside.

"Without the prince's own word, no one may enter!"

"A hundred thousand troops, urgent military intelligence!" the man said hurriedly.

"No matter how urgent, nothing is more urgent than Your Highness's comfort."

At this time, Li Chen took off his cloak and let Wan Jiaojiao dress him neatly. After finishing, Li Chen put on his cloak and said to Wan Jiaojiao, "Later, I will order someone to arrange for you to leave."

After finishing his words, Li Chen was about to leave when Wan Jiaojiao grabbed his sleeve.

Since Wan Jiaojiao has been serving by Li Chen's side, although she occasionally reveals a girlish demeanor, she has never acted so recklessly.

Li Chen stopped and turned his head to look at Wan Jiaojiao.

"I will not go."

Looking at Wan Jiaojiao's timid but stubborn and resolute face, Li Chen frowned and said, "This is the first time you've disobeyed this palace."

Wan Jiaojiao bit her lip and trembled, "This servant knows Your Highness is afraid of something happening to this servant, but if this servant were to have an accident, Your Highness would be even more dangerous. If anything were to happen to Your Highness, how could this servant live alone"

"It was Your Highness who ordered me to be taken away by force. But my life and death, others can only control for a while but not for a lifetime, Your Highness, please let me stay."

After hearing Wan Jiaojiao's words, Li Chen frowned.

Military situation critical, Li Chen really doesn't have time to waste here.

At the same time, he could also sense Wan Jiaojiao's determination and heartfelt effort.

"Okay."

"Get some rest."

Li Chen grasped Wan Jiaojiao's hand that was holding onto his sleeve, squeezed it tightly, then gently pushed her away.

This time, there was no resistance whatsoever.

"Your Highness, welcome home!"

When Wan Jiaojiao's voice came, Li Chen had already left the room without looking back.

Since ancient times, love between men and women has always been the most trying. But if you win the world, there will be plenty of time to cherish each other slowly.

Li Chen stepped out of the house, glanced up at the brimming sky, and then said in a deep voice, "Go invite Thirteenth Brother Jin." I were ordered to become instructors at the Royal Academy. While the textbooks contain a wealth of knowledge, as my brother Zou said, learning from books is always superficial. There's no substitute...
