The Dark Soldier City's King was sitting in his study with a worried expression. Sitting across from him were several people from the Dark Soldier Country's Royal Family. Although Dark Soldier City was a small country, the Royal Family was still very united. The King looked at the people and said, "Everyone knows about the current situation, so I won't say anything more. I want to hear everyone's opinion on what to do next."
One of the Royal Family members looked at the King and said, "Third Brother, what do you mean? Didn't we already form an alliance with other countries? What else is there to say? "
The King looked at him and said, "To be honest, although we have formed an alliance with other countries, I don't have much confidence. Don't you know about the Blade Spirit Country? Didn't you see those big iron ships of the Lost Soul Empire? What do you think our chances of winning are? "
Upon hearing the King, the people went silent. They have seen the Lost Soul Empire's warships. The Lost Soul Empire's warships were parked at the border between the Dark Soldier Country and the Dark Soldier Country. These warships were used to pick up refugees. To be honest, when they saw the huge iron ships flying in the sky, they didn't have any courage to resist. And just like what the King said, they didn't have the confidence to win against the Lost Soul Empire.
The King looked at them and said, "Moreover, I received news that when the Lost Soul Empire attacked the Blade Spirit Country, the Sword Spirit Country summoned the Hu Clan's Patriarch. We all know that the Lost Soul Empire's King is Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai is just the name he is using right now. His real name is Tian Crane Grass, a member of the Hu Clan. I think everyone should know why the Sword Spirit Country summoned the Hu Clan's Patriarch. But what about the Hu Clan? The Sword Spirit Country still hasn't made any moves against the Hu Clan. Why do you think this is? "
Everyone was silent. They weren't fools, they were very clear about the reason. The Sword Spirit Country was the most powerful country in the Weapon Spirit Continent, and the Hu Clan was related to Zhao Hai. If the Sword Spirit Country really wanted to fight to the death with Zhao Hai, would they let the Hu Clan go? Don't they know that if the Hu Clan stayed in the Sword Spirit Country, the Sword Spirit Country would be in more danger? Obviously, this was impossible, so the Sword Spirit Nation didn't make a move on the Hu Clan. It was definitely not because of other reasons, but because they didn't want to offend Zhao Hai.
If the Sword Spirit Country was not afraid of Zhao Hai and wanted to fight to the death with Zhao Hai, why would they be afraid of offending Zhao Hai? Of course not. In other words, the Sword Spirit Country did this because they did not want to fight to the death with Zhao Hai.
At this time, Zhao Hai was very aggressive. His goal was very clear, he wanted to unify the Soldier Spirit Continent. This way, he would become the enemy of all the countries in the Soldier Spirit Continent. The Sword Spirit Country didn't want to offend this enemy at this time. The reason why they did this was very clear.
The King looked at them and said, "Our Dark Soldier Country is the smallest country in the Weapon Spirit Continent. We are very clear about the current situation in the Dark Soldier Country. To be honest, if Zhao Hai attacks at this time, I'm afraid that we won't even have the chance to resist. The other countries are also in a mess, they don't have the time to care about us. If Zhao Hai really attacks us one day, what should we do?"
Everyone was silent. After some time, one of them said, "Third Brother, what do you want to do?" The group looked at the King, they wanted to hear what he had to say.
The King looked at them and said, "We'll contact Zhao Hai and try to get in touch with him. We'll see what Zhao Hai wants. Even if we can't make him change his mind, we should at least have some relationship with him. If he really wants to deal with us in the future, he won't be so ruthless."
The group didn't say anything. They didn't think that the King would say something like this. Although these words sounded depressing, they knew that it was the truth.
The King looked at them and said, "It's not just us, the entire Weapon Spirit Continent is panicking. After all, Zhao Hai isn't the Destroyer. The Destroyer can destroy everything and kill everyone. However, Zhao Hai can't do that. This will reduce the people's will to resist. It's impossible for the people of the Weapon Spirit Continent to deal with Zhao Hai like how they dealt with the Destroyer. Because of this, our chances of winning against Zhao Hai aren't very high. We might as well try to get in touch with Zhao Hai."
The group sighed. Their movements were very orderly. After sighing, they stared for a moment. Then they looked at the others and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The reason why they smiled bitterly was because the King was right. They had no way to refute him, so they could only accept their fate. To be honest, a few months ago, they didn't think that they would have such a day. At that time, they were still thinking about how to get a piece of meat from the Blade Spirit Country.
The King looked at them and said, "In the entire Dark Soldier Country, the only people I can trust are you. We are different from the others. Although the others are also members of the Dark Soldier Country, they aren't part of the Imperial Family. They can surrender to Zhao Hai. As long as they can gain Zhao Hai's favor, their status wouldn't be lower than it is now. But we are different, we are the Imperial Family. If Zhao Hai wants to take over the Dark Soldier Country, then we will be the first to be eliminated.
So we have to do something. "The group nodded. Then the King said," Alright, you can go back. Do as we said before. "The group nodded before they turned around and left.
The King looked at their backs and couldn't help but sigh. He really didn't have any other choice. If he didn't, then he wouldn't have said what he said today. The key point was that Zhao Hai was giving him too much pressure. He didn't have the confidence to defeat Zhao Hai in this situation. Because of this, he could only do this.
The next morning, the King was still sleeping when he suddenly heard a commotion. He couldn't help but frown. Then he opened his eyes and said, "What happened outside?"
The Eunuch on duty said with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. We are surrounded."
The King sat up and said, "Come in and talk. What do you think? What are you surrounded?" A Eunuch rolled and crawled inside. Then he plopped down on his knees and said, "Your Majesty, we are surrounded. We are surrounded by warships. You can go outside and take a look."
The King stared, then his expression changed. He suddenly jumped from his bed to the ground. He didn't even have time to wear his shoes or clothes before he ran outside the room.
Outside the room, the King's expression changed. This was because he discovered that they were really surrounded. Countless warships were hovering above the Imperial Palace. It wasn't just the Imperial Palace, the entire Capital City was surrounded.
The King's expression was very ugly. At this time, the Eunuch ran over and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't changed your clothes yet." The eunuch was scared silly before, but now he reacted. For a person like him, the emperor was his everything, so he had to think about everything for the emperor.
The King nodded. Then he returned to his room with an ugly expression and put on his clothes. He knew that he couldn't appear weak at this time. Even if he died, he was still the Dark Soldier Kingdom's King.
After the King put on his clothes, he went to the Great Hall of the Imperial Palace and said, "Sound the court drum. Summon all the ministers." Although the Eunuch was afraid, he still loudly said, "His Majesty has spoken. Sound the court drum!"
Normally, the court drum wouldn't be rung. This was because the ministers had a fixed time to attend court. Generally, there would be a big court session every seven days and a small court session every three days. Therefore, the court drum didn't need to be rung. Unless the King encountered an important matter and needed to summon the ministers, then the court drum would be rung. Once the court drum was rung, the ministers must rush to the Great Hall of the Imperial Palace within half an hour. If they didn't arrive, then they would be heavily punished or even executed.
Dong Dong Dong Dong! The sound of the court drum spread throughout the Capital City. The panicking people in the Capital City seemed to have found their backbone. Although they didn't know what was going on, the Capital City didn't become chaotic.
When the Dark Soldier Kingdom's ministers heard the drum, they immediately rushed to the Imperial Palace. They also wanted to know what to do in this situation.
In less than half an hour, all the ministers arrived at the Great Hall of the Imperial Palace. The King looked at the ministers and said, "The Lost Soul Empire's army is approaching. I don't need to say anything. Everyone should know what's going on. General Deng, listen to my order. From now on, lock down all the gates of the Capital City. Without my order, no one is allowed to leave the Capital City.
Otherwise, those who commit treason will be punished. "A General stepped out and nodded. Then he returned to the group of ministers. The King looked at everyone and said," Scholar Chen, you represent me in contacting the Lost Soul Empire. Ask them what they want to do. "
A very old official walked out of the ranks and said in a deep voice, "Yes, Your Majesty. This old official will go now." The King nodded. Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a voice, "The Lost Soul Empire's special envoy, Wen Wenhai, requests an audience with the Dark Soldier Kingdom's His Majesty!"
When the King heard this voice, he was slightly surprised. Then he immediately said, "Come in." Then he sat up straight and looked at the entrance of the Great Hall. Sure enough, after he spoke, two people appeared at the entrance of the Great Hall. Then they calmly walked in.
After the two entered the Great Hall, they cupped their fists and said, "The Lost Soul Empire's special envoy, Wen Wenhai and Long Tianlin, greet Your Majesty. The two of us are here on the orders of the Lost Soul Empire's Emperor. We came here suddenly, we hope Your Majesty will forgive us."
The King coldly looked at Wen Wenhai and Long Tianlin. When he saw Wen Wenhai, the King's eyes couldn't help but shrink. He was also an expert. Although he hadn't reached the Breaking River level, he was still a Sky Dance level expert. Therefore, he was able to see that Wen Wenhai was a Breaking River level expert. He couldn't help but be startled.
Then the King carefully looked at Long Tianlin. When he saw Long Tianlin, he couldn't help but be startled. Although Long Tianlin was a Sky Dance expert, he wasn't as strong as Wen Wenhai. However, his aura was very strong. In terms of aura, he wasn't any worse than the King. One could see at a glance that he was a person of high status. Such a person was definitely a dragon among men. The King didn't think that he would become an envoy of Zhao Hai.
The King calmed himself down. Then he looked at the two and said, "My Dark Soldier Kingdom and the Lost Soul Empire don't have any grudges. I don't know why you came here today."
