Emperor Ming's Cruelty, Patricide, Heaven's Wrath, Star Luo's Challenge!

Chapter 27: The Ming Emperor is cruel, murderous, and intolerable to heaven; Star Luo dispatches troops!

In truth, when the Tiandou envoy delegation arrived, the Great Army of the Heaven Dou Empire had not yet been completely wiped out.

At that time, under the command of the Tiandou Marshal, the Tiandou army had launched several breakout attempts.

Regrettably, facing the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, whose cold resistance was maxed out, and the peerless combat power of the Dragon Guard, there was no need to even think about it—those breakout attempts not only failed.

Instead, they only accelerated their demise.

Therefore, it was only on the third day that Xu Nian'an met with the Tiandou envoy delegation and personally informed him that the Tiandou Great Army had already been annihilated.

Five hundred thousand troops, wiped out in less than seven days; this was enough to cost the Heaven Dou Empire half its life.

Terrified that the Great Ming army would cross hundreds of miles to launch a lightning strike on Tiandou City, they signed a non-aggression pact with the Star Luo Empire at the speed of light, uniting to face the Great Ming Empire.

"Destroy the Great Ming Empire, and the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire shall each reclaim their respective territories!"

Xue Ye, Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, traveled through the night to the Bala Kingdom.

He shook hands with Dai Haochen, Emperor of the Star Luo Empire—who was currently in the camp of the Gilikris Kingdom—to sign the famous non-aggression treaty.

They agreed to destroy the third empire and partition the territory of the Great Ming!!!

To be honest, upon learning this news, Xu Nian'an felt absolutely no ripples in his heart.

He could have waited a few more years, until Tiandou felt threatened and needed a stronger force to check the Star Luo Empire, to propose independence and become the third empire.

That way, he would not have faced a counterattack or suppression from Tiandou, nor would the current situation have occurred, where the two great empires united to dispatch troops against the Great Ming Empire.

But he had done exactly that, choosing the most dangerous path.

Xu Nian'an dared to do this because he was already prepared to be targeted.

Because he was not afraid.

Mingdou Canyon.

After searching through all the corpses and ensuring that not a single one remained alive, Xu Yi looked toward the other side of the border.

There, the bright Sun and Moon Flag still shone brilliantly.

The snow had stopped.

Xu Yi wanted to see who the general leading the opposing troops was; apart from the Dragon Guard, they were the strongest army he had ever seen.

Unfortunately, after confirming there were no survivors, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry departed with their troops immediately, without the slightest hesitation.

"General, the brothers' bodies have all been gathered, haven't they?"

Once the battle had completely ended, Ming Lei slowly appeared with the people of the Holy Spirit Sect.

They were here to clean up the aftermath—or rather, the corpses.

The soldiers within the army possessed powerful blood energy and souls that were incomparable to those of ordinary people.

These were rare and precious treasures for the Holy Spirit Sect.

The two hundred thousand troops of the Gulei Kingdom, those who died in the Star Shine Duchy, and the entire population of the Galloping Wolf Kingdom had all been collected by them.

As a result, the influence of the Holy Spirit Sect had surged in a short period, with their numbers approaching three thousand.

This rate of growth was terrifying, even though most were merely Spirit Masters who possessed spirit power but had yet to obtain a spirit ring.

"They have been gathered. You may take the remaining corpses."

Elder Ming Lei of the Holy Spirit Sect nodded upon hearing this.

Just as Xu Yi was about to leave, Ming Lei suddenly turned around.

"By the way, His Majesty has ordered us to accompany the Great General to the Star Dou Forest to select a suitable spirit beast and hunt for your seventh spirit ring."

Hearing this, Xu Yi was stunned.

When he realized what it meant, he was overjoyed.

"In that case, I shall trouble you, Elder."

The Great Ming Imperial Palace.

"Chief Steward Fu! Chief Steward Fu!"

At this moment, Xu Fu was leading rows of palace maids, carrying delicious delicacies toward the Ming Emperor Hall.

Halfway there, he was intercepted by Haagen-Dazs.

"Look, I've been in Great Ming for a long time now. Could you please put in a word for me with the Ming Emperor?"

As he spoke, Haagen-Dazs took out a handful of gold beans and stuffed them into Xu Fu's sleeve.

Xu Fu turned sideways with an unperturbed expression to refuse, yet he left a tiny gap—just enough for the other party to slip them in.

Not far away, a blade-wielding eunuch saw this scene and quietly retreated.

Half an hour later.

"Your Majesty, it is time to dine."

Xu Nian'an looked at Xu Fu with cold, indifferent eyes.

"Xu Fu, you are an old man who has served our royal family since the generation of the Ancestral King; there are some things I do not wish to hold against you."

Upon hearing Xu Nian'an's words, Xu Fu's heart skipped a beat.

"Your Majesty!"

"Ah Fu still wishes to remain in the palace and serve Your Majesty!"

Xu Nian'an did not speak. He had originally intended to let the King of Haagen-Dazs wait, but now he had no choice.

"Let Haagen-Dazs enter. Have him come in alone."

Bang!

Clatter!

The next moment, a figure stumbled into the room.

"Haagen-Dazs pays his respects to the Great Ming Emperor. I offer my greetings to the Great Ming Emperor!"

Xu Nian'an did not even lift his head, his gaze silently fixed on the list of families of the soldiers who had fallen in battle, the compensation pensions required, and the future treatment to be provided to the widows of the martyrs.

"We are well."

Xu Nian'an's voice rang out faintly, but he showed no intention of letting the other man rise.

One minute, ten minutes, an hour, two hours, two and a half hours passed.

The King of Haagen-Dazs was trembling all over, drenched in sweat, with cold beads of perspiration pouring down him.

The room was deathly silent, save for the sound of Xu Nian'an quietly turning the pages of his ledger.

Snap!

Closing the register in his hands, Xu Nian'an rubbed his temples.

"I know what you have come to me for, but my stance remains the same."

Thud!

"No... Great Ming Emperor, this was not the intention of my Haagen-Dazs Kingdom. We never meant to cross the Great Ming borders or harm the citizens of Great Ming."

"Everything was forced upon us by the Heaven Dou Empire. We... we do not have the strength to defy them; we are not the Great Ming."

The King of Haagen-Dazs did not hesitate for a second, his forehead slamming heavily against the floor.

"So, you are saying that if you were given the ability to defend yourselves, you would no longer be threatened by Heaven Dou?"

Swish!

The King of Haagen-Dazs looked up, confused.

Thump!

The next moment, a book titled NATO was tossed by Xu Nian'an in front of the King of Haagen-Dazs.

"I hope you can understand my meaning."

Haagen-Dazs opened the book.

United Nations, allied nations, if one is harmed, all eight sides provide support, a common currency...

Haagen-Dazs immediately thought of his neighboring countries and the kingdoms on the side of the Heaven Dou Empire.

That's right! If he couldn't resist the empire alone, what about two, three, four... eight of them?!

"Thank, thank you for your guidance, Great Ming Emperor!"

With that, Haagen-Dazs rose to his feet.

The next second, a cold gaze was cast upon him.

"Did We give you permission to rise?"

"Kneel!!!"

Bang!

The next instant, all the windows in the Ming Emperor Hall swung open, and rows of exquisite cannons were rolled out.

Xu Nian'an slowly walked down from his throne and extended his hand toward Haagen-Dazs.

Bang! Bang! Boom!

The next second, under his gaze, the cannons were activated by figures in black robes, and a mountain was leveled in the blink of an eye.

"Since you have come to my Great Ming, I cannot let you return home empty-handed. Take some local specialties back with you."

"This is what I give you; it can sustain you, but it can also... kill you!"

The King of Haagen-Dazs's pupils constricted, his body stiffening.

Star Luo Empire.

[The Ming Emperor is tyrannical and bloodthirsty. In less than three months on the throne, he has killed over a million people—more than in the three hundred years of the Warring States period. He has slaughtered cities and destroyed nations; his actions are intolerable to Heaven!

Today, the Star Luo Empire, acting under the mandate of Heaven, dispatches eight hundred thousand troops to crusade against the Tyrannical Ming on behalf of the fallen citizens of the Galloping Wolf Kingdom!!!

Declaration of War: Emperor of Star Luo, Dai Haochen!]
