I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 378 . The situation reversed

Jinmen, squads of Allied Forces soldiers were assembling as they moved through the streets.

Many citizens stood by, watching. Most wore numb expressions, while others used small carts to transport goods for the invaders to earn a little money to sustain themselves.

As one of the first batch of open trading ports, Jinmen was scattered with concessions, and people had grown accustomed to the presence of foreigners and had learned how to deal with them to some extent.

To these commoners, war seemed like a matter between the Imperial Court and the foreigners, irrelevant to their own lives.

Only they thought today's foreigners were dressed particularly formally. Not only were their uniforms new, but their faces were washed exceptionally clean.

Commander Simo was also present, indicating some important occasion was at hand.

Soon, the answer was revealed.

In the direction of the harbor, the sky suddenly darkened, obscured by a thick cloud of ominous black.

That ink-like dark cloud slowly drew together, and all the Allied Forces soldiers quickly knelt on one knee.

Simo knelt on one knee and shouted, "We welcome the venerable Duke Heger! Your presence is the supreme honor of this ignorant and savage land!"

Accompanying his words, a figure flew out from the midst of the dark clouds, hovering in the air.

This person was dressed in a khaki high-necked trench coat and cast a faint glance at the troops who had come to greet him, the look in his eyes as cold as solid ice.

The ordinary people on the ground had a drastic reaction to seeing him. Those below the Organ Refining Realm felt short of breath and their heartbeats irregular, and the frail among them simply collapsed to the ground.

~~~~~~~~~

Vampire Dukes are on par with Martial Artists of the Golden Body Realm. Additionally, it's commonly believed that within the same realm, the more numerous and peculiar methods of vampires give them a slight edge.

At this moment, Kawashima Nami's heart was greatly shaken:

["Duke Einheit—Douglas Hague! His mere presence is enough to make mortals avert their eyes... This demon's power is formidable! I wonder if my master can handle it..."

"Such a powerful aura, this won't be easy to deal with," he thought.

As he pondered, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

Turning around, he saw a small old man had appeared behind him without his notice, despite him being an Innate Expert.

Kawashima Nami immediately stood up straight and bowed, saying, "Mas... Commander!"

This little old man was dressed in black feather garb and was at most 1.5 meters tall. He appeared to be around 70 years old, with white hair and beard, yet his skin was as smooth as a baby's.

This was the Commander of the Izumo contigent's dispatch army—Fukushima Ansei.

Kawashima Nami asked, "What should we do next? Please instruct!"

Fukushima Ansei's eyes narrowed into slits as he spoke:

"The nations have reached a consensus—to bring down the Shun Dynasty, dismember it into 6 countries, and turn it completely into a colony.

Vampires urgently need fresh blood and souls, and they will get the populations of the Jing-Jin-Ji Region and the Eastern Three Provinces;

And our country will occupy most of the northern land of the Shun Dynasty! The fertile soils free from typhoons, tsunamis, and earthquakes will be the starting point for the rise of the Izumo Empire!

Nami, this will be an expansion unprecedented in history! Even if it costs us our lives, we must fight this battle well!"

Kawashima Nami, exhilarated, flushed red and shouted loudly, "Yes, sir!"

He knew full well that his country was just a small set of islands, and the entire nation coveted the fertile lands of the Shun Dynasty.

~~~~~~~~~~

While the two from Izumo were discussing, Duke Heger floating in the air showed a flash of impatience on his face and stretched out his hand, violently clenching it towards the civilians of the Shun Dynasty who were watching the commotion.

A ripple of distortion spread out, and the civilians suddenly contorted in extreme pain before a "sizzle" was heard, and all the blood in their bodies burst forth!

Nearly ten thousand spectators on the scene turned into mummified corpses, and a giant blood sphere formed in the air.

The blood sphere slowly drifted towards Duke Heger, who consumed it as a whale drinks in water.

Seeing this scene, the lucky survivors who hadn't died cried out for their parents and fled in all directions.

Duke Heger looked much more relaxed after drinking the blood.

"Soldiers, pick up your weapons, seize the barbarian capital, countless treasures and women await our enjoyment! Do not show the slightest cowardice or mercy, the queen is watching over us!"

"Oooohhhhhh~~"

With just simple encouragement, the bandits' morale instantly soared.

Afterward, Duke Heger's blood shadow flashed, and he appeared instantly beside Fukushima Ansei.

His icy voice seemed to freeze the bones, "Has Miss Mary from America not arrived yet?"

Fukushima Ansei nodded and bowed, showing none of the demeanor of a Golden Body expert, and smiled as he spoke:

"Mary Johnson came to the Shun Dynasty due to personal matters. Although she will lend a hand, she will not be seen with us too much."

"Personal matters? What are they?"

"It appears her pet died in the Shun Dynasty, killed by an expert named Lu Yao."

Upon hearing the word "pet," a clear look of disgust flashed across Duke Heger's face, and then he departed without a word.

The obsequious expression on Fukushima Ansei's face vanished, and he became serious again:

"It seems this demon beast will not leave a single survivor. Nami, you must act fast! Win over the talents from the Shun Dynasty to facilitate our subsequent rule."

Kawashima Nami nodded heavily and prepared according to the list provided by the spies.

~~~~~~~~~~

The news of the Allied Forces having four Golden Body level powers spread throughout the land, north and south of the great river, and the entire world in an instant.

Upon receiving the news, countless nobles were so shocked they were at a loss for words!

At this moment, Emperor Yong'an's face was as white as a sheet, and he could only stand steady with the support of Eunuch Kou beside him.

Emperor Yong'an was not only shocked but also found it somewhat ludicrous. Because he had gotten the news from the newspaper.

"The Prime Minister's Office and the Military Affairs Department are all useless! They are even less informed than the newspapers!"

At this time, Eunuch Kou hurriedly comforted him:

"Your Majesty, do not panic. The enemy has only four Golden Body level experts. The Imperial Court has four Great Grandmasters, and there are also masters among the sects and noble families. We will not be scared of the Allied Forces!"

Emperor Yong'an took a deep breath to calm himself and said with a trembling voice:

"Issue a royal summon, urgently calling for the Great Grandmasters to come to the Imperial City to defend the throne... as well as the provincial governors, martial arts sects... in short, summon everyone we can! And... change my attire, I must see The Empress Dowager." Stay connected through novelbuddy

~~~~~~~~~~

The situation had turned, with the signs of an impending storm all around.

The Imperial City began to panic, with many people packing their belongings and contemplating fleeing with their families.

But there were also many who remained confident—the Land of Divine Land had countless experts, how could they be afraid of four invading demon beasts!

Particularly as Left Minister was the first to rush back from the distant Western Frontier, the booming sound caused by the Grandmaster breaking the sound barrier was so reassuring to hear.

It even lessened the impact of the news that Jinmen had been massacred.

Foreign media reported it first, followed by translations and reprints in domestic newspapers—

The Allied Forces rampaged, looting and slaughtering at will. Jinmen, with a population of a million, was left with only 100,000 alive!

The once flourishing and luxurious lands had been transformed into a wasteland of rubble; bodies piled up like mountains and corpses in the Hai River clogged the flow!

By this time, two full days had passed since Emperor Yong'an had issued the royal summon, but only Left Minister, a Great Grandmaster, had returned!

Great Grandmasters could travel at speeds of 400 kilometers per hour and could even break the sound barrier when in a burst of speed, making any location in the vast world accessible.

If they had not returned by now... it meant they were not coming!
