Chapter 828 506 Attack 2

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Certainly, here is the translated text:

Since she couldn't intervene in the royal power struggle, she focused on managing her own territory to enjoy a comfortable life.

As for the people below her who did certain things behind her back, she didn't mind; she turned a blind eye.

As long as the resources she needed weren't misappropriated, there was no issue. If they were, she would simply raise the butcher's knife, cut down a group, and make an example out of them.

One could say a subtle balance had emerged between both sides.

Unfortunately, chaos now engulfed the entire Wild Boar Skin Dynasty. Rebels were as numerous as cattle, war spread everywhere, and most of the Grand Lords declared independence.

It could be said that the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty had already collapsed, leaving Kang Mazi and Yongzheng with only a small force, temporarily in control of the Divine Demonic Tower.

However, news of the Four Ancient Empires had already spread among the Blue Star Human Race.

Members of the Four Ancient Empires' royal families had already arrived on the first level of the Sea of Realms. There was no need to guess their purpose; they had come to annihilate the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty.

How could a decaying, fragmented dynasty be a match for the Four Ancient Empires?

Death was merely a matter of time, so although the Divine Demonic Tower was temporarily controlled by Kang Mazi and Yongzheng, they didn't dare to use it.

Climbing the Divine Demonic Tower, ascending the path to godhood, entering the first level of the Sea of Realms would eventually lead them to the second level upon passing the trials.

Since they were Blue Star Humans, upon entering the second level, they would naturally appear within the domains of the two Ancient Empires of Tang Ming.

Given what the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty had done, if Kang Mazi and Yongzheng dared to enter the territories of these two Ancient Empires, they would face a fate even more cruel than death.

This was why, despite the dynasty's decay, they never considered ascending to the Upper Realm; instead, they tried to maintain control and even conducted a certain degree of internal reorganization.

In secret, they killed many members of noble clans who had broken through to the Sixth Tier Legendary level.

Unfortunately, the vile hag didn't cooperate, blocking the infusion of secret techniques that could produce Fifth Tier Epics.

Otherwise, with their methods, they would have already eliminated those uncontrollable Grand Lords and the deceitful Lords, replacing them with their own people.

As for the conditions the vile hag proposed to become the ruler of the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty, how could Kang Mazi and Yongzheng agree?

How could a monarch of their era allow a demon woman who had wreaked havoc on their Blue Star Dynasty ride on their necks?

If not for the powerful forces in this demon woman's hands, along with Guangxu as a puppet capable of extracting national fate, they would have imprisoned and tormented her to death long ago.

It could be said that following the death of Tongzhi and the vile hag losing a third of her territory due to her injuries, countless rebels had risen within the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty.

Except for the core territories controlled by Kang Mazi and Yongzheng, which remained unaffected by chaos, other regions were engulfed in smoke and flames of war.

In the vile hag's territory, eight Lords attacked from eight directions.

With troops pressing the borders, they directly besieged and captured cities and strongholds.

Some easily defended, difficult-to-attack passes were forcibly breached after aggressive assaults by the subordinates of the Eight Lords.

And with the border passes opened, millions of coalition troops invaded the vile hag's territory.

In terms of troop strength, due to the defensive nature, although the vile hag's defensive forces were fewer, they had cities and city defense barriers to rely on. To breach them required a significant cost.

However, the coalition also held a great advantage, with more soldiers than the garrisoned corps and even more formidable high-end combat forces.

Typically, a city with a population of 100,000 had a garrison of around 10,000 soldiers, including five to ten Fifth Tier Epics, which included the city's noble families.

Once the coalition forces breached the border passes, they immediately launched a strategic offensive by dividing their forces.

With units of 10,000 troops as the base, three to five corps cooperated to attack a city.

Each corps of 10,000 troops was commanded by at least ten Fifth Tier Lords, with some having as many as twenty.

The eight main corps were composed of ten units of 10,000 troops, with over 400 Fifth Tier Epic leaders and even Sixth Tier Legends stationed.

The vile hag's loyal Fifth Tier Epic Corps suffered heavy casualties, losing as many as four Sixth Tier Legends at once.

It could be said that she now had less than ten Sixth Tier Legends under her command, not maintaining an absolute advantage compared to the Eight Lords.

What frustrated her more was that the Eight Lords didn't disperse with their respective main corps; instead, they gathered together.

Each of the eight brought only an elite corps of 10,000 troops close to them, and each had several hundred Fifth Tier Epics as their trusted aides.

Additionally, each had a Sixth Tier Legend accompanying them.

This force was blatantly displayed right under the vile hag's nose.

Unfortunately, she no longer had any trump cards to strike them down in one blow.

The vile hag dared not rashly deploy her trump cards to eliminate the Eight Lords anymore and could only shrink back into Heavenly Phoenix City.

Currently, the entire Heavenly Phoenix City had entered a state of martial law.

The collusion between the eunuchs and ministers around her couldn't be hidden from the vile hag's eyes.

Previously, she had turned a blind eye, but when they intended to empty her treasury, how could she endure it?

With a Sixth Tier Legend taking action, over 20,000 Fifth Tier Epics became her hounds, and the Fourth Tier Professional Army guarding the city locked down the entire city.

Then a grand cleansing and massacre began.

This time, the butcher's knife was raised by the vile hag, and the ones to fall were her underling ministers.

Any minister colluding with eunuchs, regardless of their background or how much power they held, was forcefully taken down.

Not only were these ministers captured, but even their families and clans within Heavenly Phoenix City were all apprehended and thrown into prison.

With Sixth Tier Legends personally overseeing, these ministers had no chance to resist.

It could be said that this internal and external conspiracy failed before it even had the chance to be executed, all thanks to the vile hag's all-encompassing crackdown.

What followed for these traitors was the fate of a well-fed pig ready to be slaughtered, and their properties were seized.

Whether she would play the "Nine Generations Elimination" game depended on the vile hag's mood.

If pleased, she might grant these traitors a swift end, and their families could receive lighter sentences.

If displeased, the technique to eradicate nine generations was common practice, rooting out the problem completely.

This massacre turned the city into rivers of blood; one could see criminals being dragged to the marketplace every day, where executioners would swiftly behead them.

Of course, those with heinous crimes faced more than just decapitation; they faced dismemberment—a conclusion drawn from the ten utmost tortures of the Great Qing.

With the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty in turmoil, the vile hag, to regain some semblance of Heavenly Phoenix City's morale and establish her authority, scared the noble families within the city into behaving.

Otherwise, she didn't mind raising the butcher's knife against them, cutting them all like chives.

She hadn't died yet, and she still had control over a powerful force ensuring that at least within Heavenly Phoenix City, she maintained order, and no one dared oppose her.

This grand cleansing reduced the ministers in the Hall of Ceremonies by a third.

The seized assets from the eradicated clans poured into her treasury nonstop.

The once significantly appropriated warehouses were directly filled.

It wasn't hard to imagine how much these ministers had embezzled and accepted in bribes.

Truly, killing these well-fed pigs was immensely gratifying.

This grand cleansing lasted a full ten days, with over ten thousand heads rolling and more than a hundred people executed by dismemberment.

This act of making an example terrified the ministers, eunuchs, and families within the city.

The secret schemes they had were immediately halted, and each was hiding within their homes, not daring to show themselves, fearing the vile hag would notice and drag them out for execution, eradicating their clans—engaging in the "Nine Generations Elimination" game.
