Watching the retreating Flame army, Zhao Fu finally let out a breath. This war had not been won easily.
Yet Zhao Fu felt no joy, because Great Qin's situation remained dire. With matters on this front settled, there were still problems elsewhere unresolved, and Zhao Fu immediately headed for those regions.
Soon, Zhao Fu learned of the situations in the other areas.
There was at least something to be thankful for: only the Demon Horn Empire had launched an attack. The Alliance and the Second Wind God Empire had not joined in. If both of them had participated, Great Qin truly would have been unable to hold.
After a rough count of the casualties, Great Qin had lost 1.5 billion soldiers in this battle alone. With a heavy heart, Zhao Fu ordered the defenses reinforced. Upon returning to Great Qin, he immediately summoned the many ministers to discuss how they should face the current situation.
However, faced with such circumstances, the ministers had no good solutions either. Great Qin had already used nearly all its methods, and the enemy had long been prepared. Otherwise, they could still have caught them off guard and dealt them a crushing blow.
Some ministers suggested joining forces with the Alliance and the Second Wind God Empire to resist the Flame Kingdom and the Demon Horn Empire together.
That would be difficult. It was already good enough that those two had not joined the attack on Great Qin. Trying to make them help Great Qin was practically impossible.
Zhao Fu also knew that the two factions had already gathered their troops and could strike at any time.
