In a war between nations, one had to have a good reason to wage war.
I didn't hit you for no reason. I hit you because I had to.
You deserve it!
Why did I hit you? It was up to the party initiating the war to think about it or make it up.
You hit me before, so I'll hit you now.
You have plundered my territory, you have harmed my women, so I will beat you now.
You looked at me, so I'm going to hit you now.

Whether it was light or heavy, there had to be a reason.
However, the Peacock King of the Peacock Imperial Court did not have such concerns.
"The Imperial Jade Seal has descended into the world, and whoever obtains it will be able to rule the entire Divine Prefecture. This King shall accept the mandate of the heavens to shepherd the people and rule the world. "
This was the most straightforward declaration, and also the most overbearing declaration.
Now that I have obtained the Thousand Spirit Jade Seal, I naturally have to follow the will of the heavens, accept the mandate of the heavens, govern and raise billions of people, and strive to become the common monarch of the world.
Blatantly … I want to seize power! I want to be the overlord of the world!
The Peacock King's sudden appearance made people feel that he was completely different from the other charming and cheap goods. He had seen too many of those long, twisting, and incomprehensible declarations before the start of a war, making people feel that he was completely different from the other charming and cheap goods.
His honesty was adorable.
Therefore, many people thought that it was not unacceptable for such a monarch to become their new king.
Besides, the people of the Peacock Imperial Court were born with a sense of superiority, the country was prosperous, the people were peaceful, and the army was strong. Usually, it was only them who bullied others and no one dared to bully them — —
If he became a citizen of the Peacock Imperial Court, wouldn't he be able to bully others?
At least he wouldn't be bullied anymore!
At the same time as the declaration was issued, First Princess Ying Qiandu was appointed as the commander of the Eastern army, leading 300,000 cavalry to attack the Great Zhou Empire, General Li Fengcheng was appointed as the commander of the Western army, leading 200,000 troops to attack the Great Wu Empire, and the Peacock King Ying Boyan personally led 500,000 troops to attack the West Wind Kingdom — —
The three armies advanced side by side, like three huge black arrows, fiercely stabbing towards the target city …
Ignited by the Peacock Imperial Court, the war of the nine countries, known as the 'Peacock Rebellion', officially began.
When a general succeeds, ten thousand corpses wither!

Darkflame Empire. Mission Hills.
In a pavilion by the lake, the Black Flame King Lin Liheng sat alone, admiring the moon.
Looking at the full moon in the lake, he drained the cup of liquor in one gulp. He felt a surge of hot blood coursing through his body, causing his face to turn red and his breathing to become heavier.
The Black Flame Empire's specialty, the Flame Stone Marrow, was used as raw material. Smelling it would make one intoxicated, and drinking it would be like a raging fire entering one's throat. Normally, no one dared to drink it. They only used it as a medicinal herb to strengthen their bodies.
Lin Liheng didn't know why, but today, he suddenly thought of this fermented wine and wanted to drink a mouthful of it.
"Phew …" Lin Liheng let out a long sigh of relief when he finished the cup of wine and the smell of alcohol had almost dissipated. He felt that his body was clear and the annoyance in his heart was mostly gone.
"Father!" Dressed in an embroidered robe, the jade-faced youngster, Lin Canghai, walked out from the darkness. He bowed to his father and said softly, "Father, is there something on your mind?"
"Canghai, what are you doing here?" Lin Liheng glanced at his son with a displeased expression. Today he was upset and wanted to find a remote place to be alone, but he didn't expect his son to chase after him again.
"To share father's worries." Lin Canghai looked up at his father.
Lin Liheng waved his hand, "You go, you can't share my worries."
Lin Canghai stood still, looking at his father, "Father is worried about the war of the nine countries?"
"In addition to this — —" Lin Liheng saw that even his son was not listening to his orders, he was even angrier. "What else can make things difficult for me? Go back. "
"If this is the case, then Canghai has to have a good talk with father." Lin Canghai said stubbornly. "The Peacock Imperial Court has sent millions of troops, Sister Wang is the commander of the Eastern army, and Uncle Ying is personally leading the army to wage war against the three empires at the same time — — Father is hesitating whether to help?"
Lin Liheng took a glance at his son and said meaningfully, "What do you think?"
"It doesn't matter what I think, the affairs of the country still need Father to decide." Lin Canghai flattered at the right time. If he really followed his father's words and spoke his true thoughts at this time, he would most likely be banished to the Cold Palace by his father.
How could the Emperor's family speak without thinking?
Lin Liheng sighed softly, pointed to the opposite stone chair and said, "Sit down, accompany Father for a drink."
"Yes." Lin Canghai sat down obediently and took the initiative to pour wine into his father's cup. He then poured a cup for himself. Just the smell of the wine made his heart burn, but he braced himself and said, "Son toasts Father, I wish Father a long life and the prosperity of the Black Flame Empire."
Lin Liheng raised his cup and drank the strong wine in one gulp.
Lin Canghai also drank the strong wine in one gulp, but before he had time to use the dishes on the table to suppress the wine, he couldn't bear the fire-like burning and fiercely spurted out the strong wine in his mouth.
Lin Canghai's face was flushed red, his eyes filled with tears, and he turned around to cough desperately.
Such strong wine, he really didn't have the fortune to enjoy it.
Seeing Lin Canghai's embarrassment, Lin Liheng laughed and said, "Drink slowly, don't rush. What's there for father and son to be polite about? "
"Yes." Lin Canghai turned around, still feeling the strong smell of wine. However, he still poured himself another cup, took a small sip, and then quickly swallowed the wine. "I've let Father laugh at me."
"It's good to laugh." Lin Liheng said with a smile, "I'm just afraid that once the war starts, there will no longer be a chance like today, father and son, to sit together and drink and admire the moon."
Lin Canghai smiled but didn't say anything, only helping his father pour the wine and serve the dishes.
Lin Liheng sighed again and said, "Since you've come to find me, you must have something in your heart to say to Father. There's no one else here, just go ahead. What you said makes sense, I'll greatly reward you. What you said doesn't make sense, I won't blame you. Just take it as a father and son chat. "
"Personally, I also don't want to see Uncle Ying raise the army to conquer the divine continent." Lin Canghai looked into his father's eyes and said, "The nine countries of the divine continent each have their own way of doing things. If Uncle Ying acts like this, what will the other eight countries' royal families do? "
"That's exactly what I think." Lin Liheng nodded seriously and said in a low voice, "Bo Yan and I are life and death brothers, Black Flame and Peacock are also bound together for good or ill. No matter who Peacock becomes enemies with, Black Flame will not become enemies with Peacock. No matter what Bo Yan wants to do, I will support him unconditionally. However, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, if Bo Yan really takes over the world and becomes the ruler of the human race, then what will happen to the Lin royal family? "
