Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 255 The Immortal Sect's Scheme, Qin Wu Breaks the Situation

"Your Highness, this immortal sect has built such a grand city wall; it will be difficult to breach it in a short time."

As soon as Qin Wu arrived, Qi Ye came to the royal tent to report to Qin Wu.

He had tried attacking the city walls with cannons in the past few days, but the damage caused was far from what he had expected.

It is clear that the materials used by the Immortal Sect to build the city wall this time are not ordinary stone.

He also sent people to inspect it. The strength of this stone is far greater than that of ordinary stone. Even in Zhongzhou, this kind of stone is rare. Generally, only royalty and clans are qualified to use it.

Moreover, the amount mined each year is extremely small.

The Immortal Sect contributed so much at once, and also built a city wall tens of thousands of meters long, fifty meters high, and fifty meters wide.

This is equivalent to several decades' worth of production across the entire Central Continent.

This was the first time Qi Ye had encountered such a situation since acquiring artillery.

"It's alright. I had already anticipated this day. The power of cannons is always limited. When facing a truly strong opponent, they will eventually become useless."

Qin Wu was not surprised; it was only a matter of time before the cannons became too weak.

Especially now that their army has reached the gates of the Immortal Sect, the Immortal Sect will absolutely not allow them to directly attack their gates.

The use of such stone was both unexpected and expected.

It's only a matter of time.

And this is good too, we can use this place as the battlefield to start the immortal war.

This can be considered a cemetery built by the Immortal Sect for its own people.

"Send orders to Liu Qiu and the others, instructing them to lead their troops here and prepare for the decisive battle against the Immortal Sect!"

Qin Wu continued.

The next step is to continue pressuring the Immortal Sect, forcing them to initiate the Immortal War.

"Yes, I will do it right away."

Qi Ye accepted the order and withdrew.

"Immortal Sect, let's see what other tricks you have up your sleeve this time. I'll be watching."

Qin Wu sneered as he looked toward the Immortal Sect.

Immortal Sect military camp.

"Is there a way to defeat the enemy?"

A terrestrial immortal of the first realm sat in the main seat, looking down at the generals below.

Now that the Eastern Qin army is at the city gates, he has been sent to oversee the situation. If things continue like this, he will be under immense pressure.

We must come up with a way to defeat the enemy as soon as possible.

"My lord, it's not that we don't want to defeat the enemy, but the difference in combat strength between us and the Eastern Qin army is too great. Moreover, the Eastern Qin's cannons are extremely powerful, and ordinary people simply cannot withstand them. Defeating the enemy is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

A general said with a grim expression.

He also wanted to defeat the enemy, but what could he do? The millions of troops of Eastern Qin were all elites, and even the ordinary soldiers were warriors.

The Divine Martial King's direct line of troops, the Divine Martial Army, had a minimum cultivation level of Grand Martial Master, and were simply not something that the army of ordinary people temporarily conscripted by the Divine Martial King could withstand.

If we let them defeat the enemy, what will they use to do so?

Fill the gaps with human lives? How many lives would it take?

Furthermore, the power of those cannons was simply too great; even a Grandmaster-level expert wouldn't dare to directly withstand the power of those cannonballs.

Besides, these people don't want to go looking for death.

They've had their fill of enjoyment.

"Useless trash! I don't care what methods you use, as long as the result is good. No matter what means you use, you must defeat the Eastern Qin army."

The deacon said angrily.

He hadn't expected these generals to be so useless.

There was absolutely nothing they could do.

If this continues, he doesn't know how long he can hold out.

He knew very well how difficult it was to recruit soldiers now; their Immortal Sect had already sent out a large number of outer disciples to conscript men everywhere.

If this continues, it won't be long before they reach a point where they have no soldiers left to use.

His words immediately silenced all the generals.

Asking them to find a way to repel the enemy is asking too much of them.

The Eastern Qin army.

"Your Highness, the Immortal Sect has been making constant underhanded moves lately, resorting to all sorts of despicable methods, which has caused us considerable trouble."

Qi Ye complained to Qin Wu, his tone filled with anger.

Clearly, they were thoroughly annoyed by the despicable tactics of the Immortal Sect.

"The Immortal Sect is truly not worthy of being presented to the public."

Qin Wu sneered.

"Don't worry, it's coming soon."

Qin Wu continued.

His plan has reached its final stage.

Once completed, the Immortal War will begin.

"Yes, those methods are just too despicable, and this humble general is really annoyed by them."

Qi Ye knew what Qin Wu was planning, but since the prince hadn't explained, he didn't dare ask any further questions.

He just couldn't stand this insult.

"That's easy. Castrate all the people we catch and send them back. Let's see how many of them dare to come back."

"I do not believe that these people are not afraid of death, but they are not afraid of losing their dignity."

Qin Wu sneered. He wanted to see if these men were afraid of losing their dignity as men.

"Your Highness, the men are easy to deal with, but what about the women?"

Qi Ye's eyes flashed with a sharp light after hearing Qin Wu's words.

However, men are easier to deal with, but women are a real problem; they don't have the same dignity as men.

"You have your soldiers build a brothel in front of the camp overnight, and the women they capture can be used to reward the army."

"Of course, we also secretly spread rumors among the Immortal Sect. If they need it, as long as they can afford it, we'll let them know what paradise on earth is."

Qin Wu revealed a wicked smile.

He wanted to see if the Immortal Sect could withstand such humiliation.

"Your Highness's plan is brilliant! This humble general understands. I will go and make the arrangements immediately, ensuring that the people of the Immortal Sect will be so happy they will forget their homeland."

After Qi Ye finished speaking, he took his leave and went to prepare.

He also wanted to know if the people of the Immortal Sect would be furious if they found out.

Qi Ye acted swiftly, and overnight he built a pavilion and tower covering more than 20 acres and reaching a height of five stories.

This feat completely baffled everyone in the Immortal Sect.

I don't know what Dong Qin is up to.

Just when they couldn't figure it out.

The soldiers from the Eastern Qin side then escorted many women into the pavilions and towers.

Rumors then spread throughout the Immortal Sect region, saying that those women were people who had plotted against the Eastern Qin, and that they had been captured by the Eastern Qin army and brought here to atone for the deaths of those they had schemed against, in order to earn compensation.

Upon hearing this news, the people from the Immortal Sect were stunned.

They truly hadn't expected that Dong Qin's methods would be so insidious.

Before they could even react, a group of castrated men were brought to the hospital.

After verifying the identities of these people, they realized that they were the ones they had sent to assassinate Dong Qin.

They never expected that not only would all of these people be captured alive, but they would also all be castrated.

This is an absolute humiliation for Ciguoguo.

How could they possibly swallow this insult?

The entire Immortal Sect was furious and began to devise ways to deal with the situation.

Especially to win back those women, otherwise their immortal sect's reputation will be completely ruined.

However, it might not be so easy to snatch someone from Dong Qin.
