Today's third update: Chapter 1740! 3/3!
Loulan?
Xu Kun did not understand why Uncle Yang had specifically mentioned this kingdom and even demanded that he bathe Loulan in blood!
Yet at this moment, Yang Jian, who had always been steady, wore an unreadable expression.
"The wolf race ceded the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions this time in order to establish friendly relations with the human race. They also intend to use our strength to reclaim these kingdoms, which could be considered lost territories. Our purpose in sending envoys into the Western Regions is to offer courtesy before resorting to force."
"However, it is clearly unrealistic to expect the nations of the Western Regions to submit through envoys alone. Only after they refuse will we have grounds to deploy troops!"
"After all, a campaign must have a just cause!"
Xu Kun nodded in understanding.
"At first, although the nations of the Western Regions did not agree to join the human race, they treated our envoys with courtesy. Everything changed with Loulan!"
"Loulan is a small kingdom with a population of only a few million. Among the wolf race's tribes, it would only count as a small tribe. However, Loulan occupies a special geographical position, located on the main route from Huaxia to the Western Regions. Its king, An Gui, has Angel Race blood in him and is the only Saint Realm expert in all of Loulan."
"While the other nations chose to watch and wait, An Gui personally acted, assassinating the envoy sent to Loulan. He also set ambushes along the routes the other envoys had to take, joining forces with the nations I just mentioned to kill them all."
"If you do not want others to know, then do not do it yourself. An Gui is truly short-sighted.
