Huang Xinglong was sitting in a study room with a person sitting on the main seat. This person looked to be around 60 years old, but his grey hair was very neat. Sitting there, he looked like a lion crouching down, making people feel incomparably dignified.
Huang Xinglong picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip before he said, "Imperial Father, this is what I told Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai's reply was very simple. What do you think, Imperial Father?"
The old man was Huang Xinglong's father, the ruler of the Mountain God Kingdom, Huang Shan. One could imagine how powerful a kingdom that dared to name itself as a god was. The Mountain God Kingdom used to be the most powerful kingdom on the Thick Earth Continent, and it was also the last remaining base on the continent. The Mountain God Kingdom occupied a quarter of the continent's land. One could imagine how powerful it was.
Huang Shan was also the leader of the Thick Earth Alliance. It can be said that he was the one who made the plan to annex the continent. However, he didn't expect things to develop to this point.
Huang Shan looked at Huang Xinglong and said, "You've seen Zhao Hai. What kind of person do you think he is?"
Huang Xinglong looked at Huang Shan and said, "A very powerful and overbearing person. Imperial Father should have heard from his words that he is very overbearing. However, the strength of the Lost Soul Empire is also very formidable. The ships that can fly, as well as the people that can fly, all of these show how formidable the Lost Soul Empire is. Imperial Father, I think that we shouldn't be enemies with them."
"Hmph!" Huang Shan coldly snorted, then he said, "Shouldn't be enemies with them? Do we really have to surrender to them? Who are they? They're just a group of ambitious people from the outside. Their goal is to take over the Five Spiritual Realms. As for the Lost Soul Empire, if we surrender, wouldn't the Five Spiritual Realms be theirs? "
Huang Xinglong lowered his head and didn't say anything. After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Imperial Father, I'm afraid that we're not Zhao Hai's match. They're attacking the Thick Earth Continent with Ghost Face as their first target. Once they defeat Ghost Face, they'll move on to us. What should we do then?"
Huang Shan said in a deep voice, "Then don't let them defeat Ghostface so quickly."
Huang Xinglong was stunned. Then, his expression changed as he asked in a deep voice, "Father, what do you mean?"
Huang Shan coldly said, "They want to defeat Ghost Face. Alright, we'll help Ghost Face's people. While they're fighting Ghost Face, we'll send troops to deal with them. This way, they'll be fighting on two fronts. I don't believe that they can defeat Ghost Face so easily."
"Imperial Father, you can't!" When Huang Xinglong heard Huang Shan, he quickly said, "Imperial Father, you mustn't do that. Ghost Face has already killed a lot of people from Thick Earth City. He has an irreconcilable enmity with us. If we join forces with him, the others won't agree. Imperial Father, please reconsider."
"Others? Even if they don't agree, what can they do? Don't forget that they're in our Mountain Divine Kingdom. If they don't agree, this Old Man won't be polite to them. "
"Imperial Father, you mustn't. Although the other rulers are in our Mountain Divine Kingdom, they still have a lot of loyal subordinates. If Imperial Father makes a move against them, the Mountain Divine Kingdom will fall into chaos. Imperial Father, you mustn't become their enemy."
"Enough. I've made up my mind. Once the Lost Soul Empire and Ghost Face's people fight, we'll send troops to attack them. You may leave."
Huang Xinglong wanted to say something, but Huang Shan impatiently waved his hand and dismissed him. Huang Xinglong couldn't help but sigh and leave the study.
When Huang Xinglong returned to his mansion, he immediately asked a servant to invite his advisor, Mr. Wen. Mr. Wen's name was Wen Liben, and he was also a Warlock. However, this person was very resourceful and very formidable. In the past, Huang Xinglong spent a lot of effort to win him over. Moreover, Wen Liben also helped Huang Xinglong a lot. Huang Xinglong was able to become the Crown Prince thanks to Wen Liben's idea.
After Huang Xinglong invited Wen Liben to sit down, he sighed and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Wen, you see, Imperial Father has gone crazy. He actually wants to send troops to help the ghosts face the Lost Soul Empire. What do you think about this matter?"
Wen Liben looked at Huang Xinglong and said, "Your Highness, why don't you tell me about the strength of the Lost Soul Empire? I want to know what kind of person the Lost Soul Empire's ruler is."
When Huang Xinglong heard Wen Liben, he couldn't help but pat his head. Then he told Wen Liben about his meeting with Zhao Hai. Then Huang Xinglong said, "Zhao Hai and the others are definitely going to attack the Thick Earth Continent this time. In my opinion, we should try our best to have a good relationship with Zhao Hai. This way, even if we surrender to the Lost Soul Empire, we can still get some benefits. However, Imperial Father wants to send troops to attack the Lost Soul Empire while the Ghost Face's people are fighting. What should we do?"
Wen Liben frowned as he sat there. After some time, he said, "His Majesty is courting death. Let's not talk about the Lost Soul Empire's reaction. I'm afraid that the other Emperors wouldn't agree with His Majesty's decision. If things go wrong, the Empire would be in chaos."
Huang Xinglong nodded and said, "I also told Imperial Father the same thing. However, Imperial Father had already made his decision. He said that if the other Emperors dare to oppose, then he would make a move against them. Mister, what do you think?"
Wen Liben replied, "If His Majesty does this, then the Mountain Deity Empire will certainly fall into chaos. When the time comes, we won't even have a bargaining chip to negotiate with Zhao Hai. Your Highness, what do you think?"
Huang Xinglong sighed and muttered, "What can I think? Mister, you haven't seen the Lost Soul Empire's huge warships. Going against them is the same as courting death. In my opinion, we should surrender to the Lost Soul Empire. Then we'll go all out to destroy the Ghost Face Empire. Afterwards, we'll surrender to the Lost Soul Empire. This way, the Thick Earth Continent can be rebuilt in the shortest time possible."
Wen Liben looked at Huang Xinglong and said, "Your Highness, is the Lost Soul Empire really that strong?
Huang Xinglong smiled bitterly and said, "They're really strong, very strong. Mister, you haven't seen it yet. The Volcano Continent was destroyed in the past, but in just a few months, it was completely rebuilt. Now, the Volcano Continent is on the right track. It's impossible for the people of the Volcano Continent to do this. They must have the support of the Lost Soul Empire. You can imagine how strong the Lost Soul Empire is. It's not wise to be enemies with them."
Wen Liben raised his eyebrows, "They're that strong? Ah, not good. It seems like the Lost Soul Empire will attack the Thick Earth Continent soon. Your Highness, how long did it take you to return from the Volcano Continent? "
Huang Xinglong's expression changed, he immediately replied, "Because I wanted to send the news back as soon as possible, it only took me three days to return from the Volcano Continent. What's wrong? Will the Lost Soul Empire really attack the Thick Earth Continent right away? "
Wen Liben nodded and said, "Certainly, Your Highness. I think that the reason why the Lost Soul Empire didn't attack the Thick Earth Continent was because they wanted to rebuild the Volcano Continent. Now that the Volcano Continent has been rebuilt, it's natural for them to send troops to the Thick Earth Continent. It seems like they'll attack the Thick Earth Continent in the next few days.
Upon hearing Wen Liben, Huang Xinglong's expression changed. Then he looked at Wen Liben and said, "But Mister, the Mountain God Nation's military power is now in Father's hands. We can't do anything even if we want to."
Wen Liben replied, "Your Highness, we only have one method. That is to immediately make contact with the Lost Soul Empire. At the same time, we need to make it clear to them that they shouldn't attack the Thick Earth Continent. Instead, they should enter the Mountain God Nation and shock them. It would be best if the Lost Soul Empire could help us have His Majesty abdicate and Your Highness take over the Mountain God Nation. Then, Your Highness can directly surrender to the Lost Soul Empire. Although we won't get many benefits, we can at least save our lives. What do you think, Your Highness?"
Huang Xinglong stared, then he sat there for a long time without speaking. Seeing Huang Xinglong's silence, Wen Liben continued, "Your Highness, although our Mountain God Nation isn't weak, we don't have much food left. If we go to war with the Lost Soul Empire at this time, the Lost Soul Empire wouldn't even need to make a move. They could just trap us and kill us. Your Highness, for the sake of the Mountain God Nation and the millions of people in the Thick Earth Continent, please make a decision as soon as possible."
Huang Xinglong's expression was very ugly, but in the end, he nodded and said, "Right, Mister is right. It's time to make a decision. Alright, I'll do as Mister says. Lead some experts to the sea between the Volcanic Continent and the Thick Earth Continent. First, make contact with the Lost Soul Empire and tell them that I'm willing to surrender. However, they should come to the Mountain God Nation first."
Wen Liben nodded, "Yes, Your Highness. Then I'll set out immediately."
Huang Xinglong nodded, then he looked at Wen Liben and said, "Mister Wen, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll leave the millions of people in the Thick Earth Continent to you."
Wen Liben cupped his fists towards Huang Xinglong and said in a deep voice, "I will not disappoint Your Highness' trust. Your Highness, please rest assured." After saying that, he turned around and left the room, leading the experts in the residence away from the Crown Prince's residence.
Huang Xinglong looked at Wen Liben's departing back and couldn't help but sigh as he muttered, "Imperial Father, please don't blame me, I had no other choice. If we do as you said, then our Mountain God Nation would be finished. This child had no other choice but to do this so that you can live. If the Lost Soul Empire were to attack us, then our Mountain God Nation would suffer countless casualties. The Thick Earth Continent wouldn't be able to withstand such a war. Imperial Father, please forgive your child!" After saying that, Huang Xinglong couldn't help but shed tears.
