Chapter 1661: Chapter 1198: Suppression

The rebel forces are formidable, clashing fiercely with the loyal warriors of the Great Tang in the worlds behind the front lines.

In the void passages and Teleportation Gates connecting to the world of Great Tang, loyal and rebel armored warriors jump sides, their warships firing at each other. Countless soldiers and civilians are caught in the crossfire. Major ports and channels in various worlds change hands numerous times.

They are not mere agents of Chaos; some are even renowned contributors and generals.

But now, they are on a campaign in the name of purging the royal side, bringing disaster upon their own people.

Purging the royal side... It’s not unlikely they aim to kill the Emperor of Tang in the turmoil and establish a new ruler.

Now, the military strength of Great Tang is concentrated on the front lines combating Different Races, leaving vulnerabilities in the rear.

The emergence of the rebels is somewhat expected.

With the arrangements of the Book of Heaven and the severance of information, it would be odd if there were no rebels.

The court of Great Tang is not overly concerned about the rebels; although they are numerous, they are unlikely to breach the internal defenses of the central worlds of Great Tang.

Even with most military forces on the front lines, Great Tang still possesses considerable standing strength. The military power ratio between Great Tang and the rebels is three to one.

Furthermore, in the central worlds of Great Tang, there are three Demigods of Great Tang standing guard.

Thus, within Great Tang, there emerged a joke, reportedly originating from the imperial palace. It’s unclear who the wit is.

’You would rather believe that the rebels could reach the central world than believe I am General Li Ba, not willing to vouch for me with fifty [unknown currency]?’

This made the civil and military officials laugh momentarily; indeed, unless the governors and generals around are a bunch of pigs, what do the rebels have to strike here? This is the core of Great Tang, the capital world that all people of Great Tang aspire to. How could mere rebels defile this place?

But jokes aside, every controlled world of Great Tang has also made preparations to resist the rebels.

Mobilize military forces, relocate populations, and strengthen the defenses of the hub worlds.

While the situation is tense, it has yet to collapse.

Thus, many officials and students believe that everything will be fine once the King’s Army takes action.

Hence, fleets and war bands are assembling in the capital world.

But within the imperial palace, there are pale white jade hands flipping through book pages.

"We have made arrangements for years, promoting countless generals and civil officers across various worlds. How could they be so easily blocked?" the Holder chuckled lightly. "Although our plan had to be accelerated, the great momentum is already formed. Speaking of which, have any movements within the Xuanwu Gate been detected?"

The palace maid beside her replied, "Not at all. The two war bands and Xue Rengui have been sealed inside. There is a Demigod watching over, preventing any transmission of information. We are unclear about what exactly fell from the sky at that time."

After contemplating, the Holder shook her head: "Well, at least we’ve managed to keep Xue Rengui sealed, haven’t we? Currently, the Old Generals of Zhenguan are either commanding from one place or positioned at the front lines. Among the new generation of famous generals, the real power lies only with Xue Rengui. Hmph, such an outdated empire. It’s time for us to create a new Great Tang. Although history has changed, eliminating the Wu Emperor from the Eternal Prosperous Tang Dynasty... It gave birth to me."

If history had proceeded as normal, Great Tang would have seen the only female Emperor in Hua Country’s history, Wu Zetian.

But due to obtaining history in advance, Great Tang strived to avoid this scenario.

After all, would they really watch Li Er’s woman climb into Li Zhi’s bed?

In any case, under the deliberate manipulation of Great Tang, a female Emperor never emerged.

Yet, the Holder of the Book of Heaven, who possesses absolute confidence. Holding the Book of Heaven and being a Divinity’s Chosen, she is very confident that she can become the new female Emperor.

This confidence stems from her many years of secret arrangements.

Placing certain people who have undergone special changes into specific positions, at a specific time, they would make the choices she expects.

The rebel coalition? Merely a bait to lure out the remaining forces of Great Tang!

Do they really think they have no further arrangements?

The Book of Heaven would not fight a war without any certainty.

Li Shimin, General Li Ba.

You won the bet of Blood River years ago. Blood River forces will not target Great Tang for a hundred years, but others are not included in this promise.

Not all the great beings are as impulsive as those from Blood River.

Now, among the four... five great beings of Chaos, already three have infiltrated Great Tang with my assistance.

And I will lead you all to even higher peaks with these forces!

Now, Li Shimin along with the Zhenguan Warriors are all on the frontline, and the information from the frontline has been completely cut off. They may already have been sent by the Tianyan Association to their doom.

Oh Tianyan Association, such a useful pawn. It was indeed thanks to them that the human geniuses have been so severely depleted.

And the Evil God Li Ba... even should the plan succeed, he remains a terrifying entity to be wary of.

We must prevent this guy from returning to the Great Tang, in the name of Tian Ce General, to reclaim the world of Great Tang.

However, he is now light years away. Even if he were to return, it would take thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

By then, there would be no chance of reclaiming it.

Now, who else could come to the aid of Great Tang?

"Since we have been given this opportunity, let’s not miss it. Begin," said the Holder of the Book of Heaven calmly.

"Yes!" The palace maid quietly departed.

Two battle groups took over the defense inside the imperial city.

...

Meanwhile, a large number of fleets and battle groups gathered in the capital worlds. In the spaceports, fleets large and small covered a patch of the starry sky.

They came from various worlds still under the control of Great Tang.

Among them, there were even legions from the Chenhai World.

Li Zhi, meanwhile, sat within the palace, and under the astonished gaze of the civil and military officials, walked to the palace gate, pointing in the direction of the spaceport.

"Look, this is my great army. With just a simple command, they will eliminate any enemy for me," Li Zhi pointed and laughed distantly.

The civil and military officials didn’t know why Li Zhi suddenly said this, but could only congratulate His Majesty.

Li Zhi continued: "Unfortunately, among them, there are mixed some rebels. Today, I gave them the opportunity to gather here. I hope they can seize it well! Such a chance to strike at the king, if not seized, would truly be a pity."

With this statement, the complexion of the civil and military officials changed drastically.

They could never have imagined that Li Zhi would use himself as bait.

Knowing that there might be traitors within the troops, yet still allowing the troops to assemble in the capital world?

However, almost at the same moment, flashes erupted in the sky, and intense battles suddenly broke out within several of the assembled battle groups and fleets.

Many loyal battle group’s landing pods were suddenly released, and the bewildered armored soldiers inside looked at each other, thereby leaving the battlefield.

Many of the rebels were defeated by the loyal soldiers.

But more fleets forcefully broke through the port, speeding towards the direction of Changan City.

At the same time, outside the palace, the sounds of battle cries could be heard.

The officials, in shock, looked outside and were astonished to find that the two battle groups that should have been guarding the imperial palace suddenly launched an attack on the Jinwu Guard and the Thousand Cattle Guard battle group guarding the palace.

"As His Majesty said, today is the day for the strike!" murmured a demigod, shockingly one of the three Great Tang demigods guarding the capital world!

He appeared out of nowhere above the palace, blocked by another Great Tang demigod.

Li Zhi simply smiled and said, "Just one demigod? Those unaware would think my Great Tang cannot handle demigods."

"Your Majesty worries too much," responded that demigod calmly.

On the swiftly approaching battleships, four demigod auras surged forth.

For this operation, the Book of Heaven secretly nurtured four demigods, plus one coaxed guardian demigod. A total of five demigods!

And Great Tang now only has two demigods.

Is victory already determined...?

Li Changhe looked into the void, issuing a mocking laugh.

Suddenly, an order that shocked everyone echoed through the void.

’Check to the first Sequence, Tian Ce General!’
