Chapter 657

Li Tianmin was well aware of the danger of this military expedition. The Datang Empire had personally experienced the terrifying nature of the Alien Demon realm. If Li Yuanxiu were to lead the troops and perish in the Western Territory, it would be an absolute catastrophe for Datang. To protect his son and ensure the future of Datang, Li Tianmin had no choice but to lead the expedition in person. If he were to fall in battle, Li Yuanxiu would still be there to inherit the throne! Furthermore, before setting out, Li Tianmin had solemnly instructed Li Yuanxiu that if he were to die in combat, Li Yuanxiu was to ascend the throne immediately and stabilize the empire at all costs! Meanwhile, those three hundred thousand elite Datang soldiers had all prepared themselves to die in the Western Territory, leaving their final arrangements with their families.
