By this time, the members of Team Zenith and the three clan leaders had obtained a far better understanding of the nine godsons of the monarch of stars than before.

Suddenly, Yu Huantian rushed into the meeting room.
”Governor, something ’s very wrong! My clan and I went scouting in the directions you indicated, and there are six sura troops heading our way. ”

Zhang Lie frowned.
”Six, not seven? ”

”There were originally seven, but two of the troops merged together.
Some of my scouts were in the air at the time, and we saw some sort of internal dispute that led one troop to take over the other. ”

”An internal dispute? ”

Zhang Lie frowned.
He didn ’t know whether to be worried or relieved—this was beyond his predictions, and any uncertainty was worrisome.

”My scouts were afraid of detection and weren ’t able to understand the situation more fully. ”

”Tell me everything you know, quickly! ”

Yu Huantian reported, ”From the west, fifty thousand troops moving at a sedate price, pillaging and raping everything along the way.
They ’ve killed all the females and imprisoned the males. ”

Sun Xiaowu murmured, ”Doesn ’t that sound like something Xueju would do? ”

”But he ’s dead. ” Fang Yi shook his head.

Zhang Lie asked, ”Which king do you suspect this is, then? ”

Sun Xiaowu shrugged.
”Who can say? The nine sura kings all seem particularly perverted, and I could see any of them doing something like this. ”

Zhang Lie asked, ”Were there any special insignias that their troops displayed? An emblem of sorts? ”

”Two testicles. ”

”In that case, it could very well be Gaoyuan, ” Zhang Lie concluded.
”Keep going! ”

”From the northwest, a hundred thousand troops, at least half of which are old sura, so old they can hardly walk.
They ’re moving more slowly than a turtle. ”

”In that case, that must be Suiyue! ” Zhang Lie replied confidently.

According to Shouta, Suiyue had once proclaimed that sura were like wine: the longer they lived, the more they matured, and the more intoxicating they became.
The sura fighters in his kingdom were given the option to retire when they reached old age, but many chose to stay on as a result of his words.

This also meant that Suiyue ’s forces were the weakest among all nine sura kingdoms.

”From the north, eighty thousand forces including both sura and minotaurs. ”

”Niutou, of course! ” Everyone guessed the origin of these forces immediately.

”From the northeast, an ordinary group of a hundred and twenty thousand sura, whose insignia is a black eye. ”

”Perhaps Moyan. ”

Yu Huantian ’s eyes then showed rare revulsion and fear.
”From the east, a group of patchwork monsters, who hail from no alien race we know.
They were particularly frightening and strong—my clan was almost discovered without even getting close. ”

”Fenghe ’s army! ”

Yu Huantian continued, ”From the southeast, forces so numerous we couldn ’t count them—over a million at the very least. ”

Everyone sucked in a breath.

Yu Huantian asked worriedly, ”Can Renhuang really defend against sura forces numbering a million strong? ”

Zhang Lie shook his head.
”I don ’t intend on defending against them.
We ’ll attack head-on. ”

Yu Huantian gaped.
”But they have a million sura! ”

”It might be a million now, but if we let them gather, there ’ll be two million sura at our city walls.
We ’re still a small city, and we can ’t defend against such numerous foes.
Our only choice is to strike fast and bring the fight to them, rather than to let them come to us, ” Zhang Lie declared.

Upon sensing Zhang Lie ’s confidence, Yu Huantian calmed down, and the others were willing to believe that Zhang Lie knew what was best.
If Zhang Lie wasn ’t panicking, then they didn ’t have to worry either.

”Keep reporting everything you observed—there might be a crucial detail in there that we can make use of. ”

Yu Huantian nodded.
”The million-sura force was very strange—the troops moved like zombies, and they looked very disorganized.
They attacked any lifeform they encountered, and the dead lifeforms would end up joining their ranks. ”

This had to be Shicang ’s army of the dead!

Yu Huantian continued, ”From the south was originally a group of fifty thousand sura, but something suddenly happened to this group that caused them to merge with the southeastern forces.
By the time they did so, those forces behaved much like zombies as well. ”

Zhang Lie pondered Yu Huantian ’s intel carefully.
He didn ’t understand what Shicang was thinking, nor why he had absorbed his brother ’s forces into his own, but they didn ’t have much time left.

The sura forces were quickly approaching, and Renhuang would have to respond…
