"Hiss..."

After listening to Zhou Yang, Qin Tian fell into deep thought.

They had witnessed Zuo Yuanhao's study and calculations of people many times before, and so far, there had been no mistakes.

But this time, is that War God really that formidable?

In the past two days, Zuo Yuanhao and Xu Kuan both sent letters to Qin Tian.

Interestingly, their opinions were unexpectedly inconsistent and surprising.

Zuo Yuanhao advocated for transferring all important resources and main forces from the West State to the Demon Clan territory to avoid confrontation with the War God.

However, Xu Kuan advocated for holding on to the West State and making it an impregnable fortress.

Undoubtedly, the two must have discussed and debated before sending their letters, neither giving in to the other, so they ended up writing separate letters to express their views and let Qin Tian decide.

On the very afternoon Zuo Yuanhao and Xu Kuan sent their letters, Ye Kun also sent a letter.

This time, Ye Kun sided with Xu Kuan, believing that even though the War God was invincible in battle, the West State, reinforced with years of defenses by Xu Kuan, wouldn't fall easily, unless the War God led an army of over 500,000 to suppress it.

Usually, their opinions were unanimous.

Now, with the emergence of the War God, they had their first divergence.

Qin Tian understood the personalities of all three and knew their differing opinions wouldn't cause major issues; he just needed to make a decision quickly to prevent any discrepancies in the West State due to their disagreement.

However, deciding between two entirely different paths was really difficult for Qin Tian.

Even among their ranks, opinions varied.

Lin Yu, Xiaozhuang, and Zhao Lanjin all felt they could face the War God and didn't need to show weakness.

Zhou Yang, on the other hand, thought Zuo Yuanhao's analysis was reasonable and that retreating to the Demon Clan territory was also an option. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Duan Xiaodao basically had no opinion; whatever Qin Tian said, he would follow.

This... left Qin Tian in an awkward position.

"How long do you think it would take for the War God to defeat Xu Fengnian?"

After some thought, Qin Tian asked.

Zhao Lanjin said, "At least a month. Ten thousand versus over twenty thousand, it's naturally defensive, resolving the battle in a short time isn't likely."

Lin Yu added, "I think it would take more than two months. The War God hasn't fought for years, he may not even adapt to modern warfare."

Zhou Yang thought and said, "I feel it could potentially be between twenty days and a month. With ten thousand troops, the War God could strike suddenly, and with his strength, he must have prepared a strategy. Once he moves, it could be an overwhelming force against Xu Fengnian; initially, there might be resistance, but soon, it will crumble. Twenty days is about right."

"Qin Marquis, there's news from the Imperial City!"

"Qin Marquis, there's news from the West State!"

Two scouts rushed in to report, and Xiaozhuang took the letters and handed them to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian opened them and was instantly stunned.

Both the Imperial City and West State reported the same event—

The War God had already defeated Xu Fengnian! He beheaded Xu Fengnian!

"Hiss..."

Qin Tian's entire expression was incredibly grave!

Seeing Qin Tian's expression, everyone was equally astonished.

Lin Yu anxiously asked, "Boss, what happened, why are you so shocked?"

Xiaozhuang said, "Did something happen in the West State?"

Qin Tian said nothing and allowed everyone to pass the letters around.

After reading, everyone was instantly silent!

After a long while, Zhou Yang calculated and said, "I thought it would take the War God twenty days to defeat Xu Fengnian, but it seems... looking at the dates, the War God only took ten days! He halved my estimated limit!"

"My god, this War God, is he really that powerful?"

Even Zhao Lanjin was astonished, finding it completely unbelievable, "How did ten thousand troops defeat more than twenty thousand so quickly?"

"It's too uncanny."

Lin Yu pursed his lips, "It's too uncanny, it doesn't make sense, how can a war involving so many people end in ten days? The time we received the news should be from the War God's deployment from the Imperial City; it must have taken at least three to four days to march. So, the War God needed just a week to annihilate Xu Fengnian's formidable northern troops?"

Zhou Yang repeatedly analyzed the wording of the two letters and said, "The content is brief, merely stating the War God defeated Xu Fengnian and beheaded him. There's no detail on how it was achieved... I expect the Imperial City and West State to send detailed intelligence soon, perhaps even today, let's wait."

As expected, about an hour later, letters from both the West State and Imperial City arrived successively in Qin Tian's hands.

This time, the letters detailed how the War God defeated Xu Fengnian.

The War God executed a lightning warfare.

An army of fifty thousand standoff against Xu Fengnian's main force of 120,000, while the War God personally led the other 50,000, marching 2,100 kilometers in one day and night directly to the flank of Xu Fengnian's Central Army's East Camp.

The East Camp had Xu Fengnian's troop of 70,000, personally stationed by Xu Fengnian.

Unexpectedly, the War God launched a surprise attack, and Xu Fengnian's forces instantly collapsed.

Moreover, during the attack on Xu Fengnian's main force of 100,000, the War God's troops launched True Qi Bombs. According to scouts, there were at least ten True Qi Cannons in the War God's army!

During the two armies' confrontation, the War God led his 500 War God Guards (his personal guard) in a direct assault on Xu Fengnian's main camp, forcing Xu Fengnian to retreat continuously, eventually beheading him.

Consequently, Xu Fengnian's over 200,000 strong army completely collapsed within three days!

More than 60,000 dead, 180,000 surrendered!

The War God's army swept through like a tempest, reclaiming all the cities occupied by Xu Fengnian, and had already dispatched troops to the North State, preparing to completely annihilate the remnants of Xu Fengnian's forces!

After everyone read the letters, they were left speechless.

Lin Yu clenched his fist in frustration, "Damn it, who would've thought the War God also had a True Qi unit. Haha, this old guy stayed hidden all these years, secretly observing; he surely developed his own after discovering our True Qi Cannons."

"Who knew he'd use them in this war to catch Xu Fengnian off guard. Hiss... now it's troublesome, our True Qi Cannon unit, he has it too, and it seems even larger... what are we going to do."

Lin Yu felt a headache.

Not just Lin Yu, everyone felt troubled.

Qin Tian was also helpless and smiled bitterly, "Now, everyone knows the power of the War God, right? So, should we choose to transfer from the West State to the Demon Clan, avoiding the War God's edge?"
