Chapter 70
Why?
Liu Linzheng was dumbfounded.
With the support of the three great noble families and the combined forces of three kingdoms, the Xia Kingdom was practically within reach. After the victory, not only would you have your revenge, but you would also gain indescribable benefits.
This opportunity thats hard to come by even if you search with a lantern, yet youre actually not participating?
The Emperor of Shang Kingdom shook his head and sighed, Because, the Xia Kingdom is not so easy to annihilate, and that foolish emperor is not as simple as he appears on the surface. To rashly send out troops would be very unwise!
Your Majesty, have you been scared out of your wits? Liu Linzheng mocked with a mix of sarcasm and ridicule.
The Emperor of Shang Kingdom, as if a wound had been exposed, showed a look of shame and annoyance on his face and huffed, Say whatever you want, I am not participating, you may leave now!
Your Majesty, please reconsider! If you do not agree, then we will have no choice but to ally with the other two kingdoms, to first wipe out your Shang Kingdom, and then move against Xia Kingdom! Liu Linzheng said coldly.
The Emperor of Shang Kingdom was furious: Are you threatening me?
Its not about posing a threat; its simply for self-preservation! After all, if we were to deploy our troops, having you at our rear would be too unsettling for us! Therefore, we had no choice but to strike first to prevent any mishaps. We hope His Majesty understands!
The Emperor of the Shang Kingdom trembled with anger, his complexion unsightly.
This isnt considered a threat?
Then what is?
The Emperor of the Shang Kingdom fell into deep thought.
Even at the peak of his power, facing the An Kingdom and Peng Kingdom was particularly challenging.
Now, after being raided by Lin Beifan and his troops, his national strength had greatly diminished. He had lost three Innate-level warriors, over a hundred thousand soldiers, and 400,000 sets of weapons and armor. He definitely could not win against the An Kingdom and Peng Kingdom, which had the support of noble families.
After this battle, the Shang Kingdom was essentially finished.
It could be said that he had no choice left.
The Emperor of the Shang Kingdom sighed heavily, saying weakly, Fine, I will send out troops!
For a small kingdom like theirs, having two or three Innates was already quite impressive.
Yet, they suddenly had three mysterious Innates appear, which was very likely the work of a third-party force.
Moreover, the soldiers of the Shang Kingdom had once again donned their armor and picked up their weapons, regaining their combat strength. Aside from the noble families, no one could provide so much armor and weaponry.
Your Majesty, the allied forces of the three kingdoms are about to attack. General An Lushan has already led an army of 400,000 to resist at the front lines! However, the allied forces have 800,000 troops and five Innate experts; Im afraid we wont be able to hold them off! Therefore, your humble servant suggests
Grand General Chai Yulang spoke with a heavy face, Abandon the Xia Kingdom! I and Eunuch Liu will resist and cover at the front lines, while you, Yuxin, take the opportunity to escort His Majesty out of the Xia Kingdom!
Yes, Father! Chai Yuxin said solemnly.
Although, as a general, she did not want to flee without a fight.
But the situation was critical, and there was no other choice.
Lin Beifan laughed and said, The foundation that we have worked so hard to build, are you willing to give it up?
We must let go even if we dont want to!
Prime Minister Xiao Guoliang said reluctantly, The nation is important, but Your Majesty, you are even more so! If something were to happen to you, how could we ever explain it to elder brother?
The Grand General nodded slightly in agreement.
At that moment, Chai Yuxin pinched Lin Beifans waist fiercely and said irritably, Isnt it all because of you? Who asked you to offend three countries at the same time? Now theyve come knocking on our door, havent they?
Lin Beifan: Ow, ow, ow
The two elders wanted to laugh, but they couldnt.
Lin Beifan brushed away Chai Yuxins hand, and while rubbing his sore spot, he said, Everyone doesnt need to be so pessimistic. This battle may be tough to fight, but it can also be easy!
Easy to fight? Everyone was stunned.
