Time seemed to freeze in that single moment.

Back in the underworld. Qin Ye abruptly shot to his feet as soon as he saw the incredible sight. His eyes glistened brightly, and he clenched his fists tightly.

Has a general… managed to break into the Mechanical beast?

And even take control of it?!

Countless thoughts immediately surfaced in his mind. First of all, the armies of Hell couldn’t be deployed within the inner city from the onset. After all, that would cause them to end up becoming surrounded on all sides by an army of 800,000 troops. Such difference in numbers would immediately be felt in a qualitative, rather than a quantitative manner. Even though 100,000 soldiers of Hell could theoretically stand toe to toe against a million Qufu soldiers, there were still a multitude of other variables that could tip the scales against Hell’s forces. He wasn’t going to risk everything like that. It was imprudent to leave something of such importance to be decided with the toss of a coin.

And since that was the case, then there would naturally be two locations where Hell’s forces were going to show up - within the outer city, or on the city walls.

That said, there were way too many Yin spirits residing within the outer city right now. If Hell’s forces entered the city without doing any damage to Qufu’s forces at all, then there was possibly even a chance that they could mobilize the general populace to rise up as militia to resist the approach of Hell’s forces!...
