News of defeat came from all over the country. This made Wei Wuji, who had just ascended the throne, feel overwhelmed.
Fortunately, there were not many opposing voices inside and outside the court. Apart from the large-scale purge that he had carried out some time ago, the invasion of the Extreme West Demon League was different from the invasion of the other two human kingdoms.
This was a battle between different races. If the Golden Horde had invaded, some people could still rely on the Golden Horde to protect their wealth. There were many people like this since ancient times.
However, it was a different matter for the Extreme West Demon League. The countless demon beasts under the command of the Extreme West Demon League were like Asuras that crawled out of hell. They ate all the creatures in their way, and everywhere they went, they left thousands of miles of red land.
It was useless to talk to these demon beasts about relying on them, because they did not want to rule the Wei State.
They wanted to build a kingdom that belonged to the demon race. How could they keep them alive?
Knowing this, the Great Wei State was unprecedentedly united. The whole state apparatus began to operate, which made Wei Wuji feel a little comforted.
Even so, it was useless. Compared to the Extreme West Demon League, the Great Wei State was too weak.
Only by gathering the power of the whole human race could they contend with the demon race. However, the Golden Horde in the north had invaded. They obviously wanted to stab them in the back at this critical time. They could not be relied on at all. Moreover, the whereabouts of the Great Qi State were unknown.
At this time, he could only rely on the local power of the Great Wei State. This made him feel like he was fighting against the whole world alone.
In order to rectify the situation in the front line, King Chu, who was in charge of the military power of the world, was also sent out. At the same time, the only National Guardian level expert in the royal family, his Imperial Granduncle, was also sent out.
In fact, he did not know that there was such a terrifying existence in the royal family until after he ascended the throne. He could not help but sigh. He was really lucky when he started the rebellion. This Imperial Granduncle didn't interfere. Otherwise, Chu Yunfan would not have been able to deal with this Imperial Granduncle with his strength at that time. He would have been defeated and fled the Great Wei State.
There were not many cards that he could play at the moment, and he had already played them all.
He was afraid that he would become the overlord of the Great Wei State if things didn't go his way. And, he didn't know how the history would record him as the overlord of the Great Wei State at that time. Perhaps, he wouldn't be able to escape the evaluation of an incapable ruler.
Now, he had placed all his hopes on Chu Yunfan, the Imperial Tutor who had created miracles time and time again. He had repeatedly given him hope in the midst of despair.
Previously, he was still a little afraid of Chu Yunfan, but now, he didn't have any fear. He couldn't wait for Chu Yunfan to become stronger.
Chu Hongcai gloomily said, "Right now, all the feudal vassals are getting restless. If the imperial court cannot stabilize the frontlines, there's a chance that they might start a rebellion. There's even a chance that their entire clan might flee the Great Wei State!"
As the heir of the Chu king, he had access to a lot of information that ordinary people could not. He naturally understood that the current situation could be said to be extremely precarious.
Each of these aristocratic clans was more cunning than the other. So, it was very likely that they would escape from the Great Wei State if it couldn't hold on. In any case, they would be welcomed wherever they went with their strength.
"These traitors!" Wei Wuji was unable to restrain his anger. "If the Great Wei State falls, the entire human world will fall into enemy hands. Where can they escape to? Even if they flee to the ends of the earth, it will be useless. This is a war between races, not a war between clans or families! "
"Sigh!"
Chu Hongcai sighed. Even now, the human world was still unable to unite in this war.
"I had you investigate why the Extreme West Demon Alliance suddenly went crazy. How much did you find?" Wei Wuji looked at Chu Hongcai and asked.
"Replying to Your Majesty, the representative that my royal father sent to negotiate with the Extreme West Demon Alliance was chopped up and fed to the demonic beasts. They are simply a group of unevolved beasts!" Chu Hongcai replied in a towering rage. "They never thought of reconciling with us. This time, I'm afraid that the Great Wei State will really be destroyed!"
"They said that Jian Wuchen killed many of their Demonic Kings, so they want to kill all humans to avenge their Demonic Kings!"
Wei Wuji was a little dumbfounded. Jian Wuchen killed their Demonic Kings, so they went to find him for revenge. What did this have to do with him?
At this moment, he felt like he had already hidden himself on the battlefield. He was lying in a ditch, but someone had still shot him in the knee.
He was about to cry himself blind. What did this have to do with him? Why did he have to take the blame?!
"That's what they said, but in this humble subject's opinion, this is only an excuse!" Chu Hongcai said. "These people from the Extreme West Demon Alliance are a group of armored and feathered beasts. They have been eyeing our Great Wei State covetously for a long time now. Now, they just found a random excuse. Even if Jian Wuchen wasn't involved, I'm afraid there would be other excuses!"
Wei Wuji nodded. He could naturally tell that this was just an excuse for the Extreme West Demon Alliance to start a war. After all, the Extreme West Demon Alliance needed an excuse to tear up the peace treaty with the human race that had been in place for many years.
They needed an excuse so that the other two countries wouldn't interfere.
"The Extreme West Demon Alliance is one thing, but the Golden Tribe actually dared to take advantage of the chaos to invade our borders. They are simply a group of beasts in human clothing. As expected, those who are not of our race are bound to have different intentions. What a bunch of barbarians!" Wei Wuji said through gritted teeth. The Extreme West Demon Alliance was one thing, but what truly infuriated him was the fact that the Golden Tribe had betrayed the unwritten rules that the human world had followed for many years and joined hands with the demon race to deal with the Great Wei State.
"Your Majesty, please relax. Brother Fan shouldn't need long to come out of seclusion, and his strength should have improved. There should be a way!" Chu Hongcai said. However, his tone didn't sound very confident.
Chu Hongcai cupped his hands and bowed. "Your Majesty, this subject requests that I lead the army out of the capital and rush to the battlefield. The western battlefield is under the supervision of this subject's father. This subject is willing to lead the army north to resist the Golden Tribe. I hope that Your Majesty will allow this!"
Wei Wuji nodded and said, "A long journey tests the stamina of a horse, and time reveals a man's heart. King Chu's family is full of loyalty, and this greatly comforts me. Since you have this desire, I will fulfill your wish. Tomorrow, you will leave the capital. I will assign you an army of three hundred thousand, and you will lead them. Also, I will have the imperial consecrators assign ten consecrators to accompany you!"
"Many thanks, Your Majesty!" Chu Hongcai hurriedly said.
