When Hao Dadao left, the two couldn't help but look at each other.
"Do you think Ge Ruo Yi succeeded?" Mu Hanzhang let go of Jing Shao's hand, but Jing Shao quickly chased and grabbed it again, playing with his fingers and kneading his palm.
"I think so." Jing Shao pulled the beautiful hand to his lips. "Whether or not that is the case, the southeast army in chaos is a good opportunity."
Mu Hanzhang nodded. "If the Southeast King really is dead, will his sons be able to handle things?" If one or two of his descendants knew war strategy and immediately took over the Southeast King's position, the southeast army could be reorganized after two days of chaos at most.
Jing Shao shook his head and chuckled. "The Southeast King isn't past thirty right now; his eldest son wouldn't be very old yet. In the struggle for the position of heir back then, he caused the death of his elder and only brother. There is currently no one who can take the throne as king."
The southeast was located by the sea. In recent years, due to the tariffs on maritime business and luxury products, the southeast royal family became corrupt and indulged in their wealth. When a capable descendant did appear, such as the current Southeast King, all other potential heroes were suppressed. Now that the Southeast King was dead, there was no one who could immediately ascend the throne.
Mu Hanzhang sighed. It was the will of heaven that a human being received proper retribution; the Southeast King's family only had themselves to blame for falling to this point.
Jing Shao sent people to the southeast military camp to spy and gather intelligence. In the morning, the messengers came back with their reports: The generals of the southeast army had been up all night discussing something. They seemed very anxious. The army soldiers were still confused and didn't know what was going on.
Jing Shao immediately ordered Hao Dadao to lead a vanguard out first before he himself followed with the rest of the army.
Hao Dadao led the army to the southeast army camp. Seeing that they were already trying to retreat, Hao Dadao cried out loudly, "The Southeast King is dead. Your hands are tied and there is nothing you can do. All of you are still people of Dachen; if you continue to resist, it will be regarded as treason!"
Upon hearing this, the southeast army suddenly broke out in a panicked frenzy. The generals had received some kind of news yesterday, and it had been announced this morning that they had to pack up camp and return to the main city; all of it was too strange, and the soldiers were all anxious.
"Hao Dadao, don't babble nonsense." Surprised and angry, the Godly Archer General shot at Hao Dadao.
The general on the other side responding in such a way was confirmation of the Southeast King's demise.
"Kill!" Without even waiting for that arrow to leave the string, Hao Dadao waved his hand and charged forward. Thousands of troops immediately blocked the Godly Archer General's line of sight; the general lost his target and didn't know where to start.
When Jing Shao caught up, Hao Dadao had already killed the Godly Archer General with his Hunyuan Blade and chased down some of the remaining troops who had escaped. The army simply continued forward.
There were many hills in the southeast, and the road that the carriage rolled along was bumpy. Jing Shao pulled the military advisor out to ride with him, leaving the little tiger to roll and bump around in the carriage.
The news of the death of the Southeast King spread through the army like a plague. Army morale dropped and the generals also didn't have the heart to put up a desperate struggle. Hao Dadao fought all the way to the capital city – Floating City.
