"Father, the royal family will definitely not let this go. What are your plans afterward?" Zhao Yuening asked.
"I've already thought this through. Since the royal family has been unkind to me, then don't blame me for being ruthless in return." King Zhao's expression was exceptionally cold. He then addressed the crowd, "Go back and prepare. We will depart for the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty tomorrow!"
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.
"Father, do you mean we should go and seek refuge with the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty?" Zhao Yuening asked, frowning.
"Hmm." King Zhao nodded and said, "A long time ago, the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty sent people to win me over, but because my heart has always been with Heaven-Burning, I refused without even thinking about it. Now that the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty has nowhere for us to stay, why don't we go and join the God Ruins? We have an army of tens of millions of people under our command, and I believe the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty would be happy to have us join them, but..."
At this point, King Zhao changed the subject, "However, I have no intention of risking my life for others anymore. After joining forces with the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty to destroy the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty, I will establish our own divine dynasty!"
" King Zhao, is everything you're saying true?" Upon hearing this, everyone felt their blood boiling.
"Yes!" King Zhao nodded, then smiled and said, "Once we have our own dynasty, we won't have to suffer betrayal and bullying from others anymore."
"Haha, very well! Actually, I've been waiting for you to say that, King Zhao!"
"Me too! King Zhao, rest assured, your brothers will definitely support you!"
The powerful figures from the Prince Zhao's Residence were all extremely excited, their faces beaming with smiles, exuding a sense of boundless pride.
" Brother Chen, has Yuening's father's illness been cured?" Jianxin saw Su Chen walk in from outside the clinic and quickly came to his side to ask.
Su Chen glanced at Jianxin, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then said, "Her father isn't sick; he's faking it."
"Huh?" Jianxin was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then asked in confusion, "Pretending? You mean, Miss Yuening's father is faking illness?"
"Yes, you guessed correctly." Su Chen nodded calmly.
"Huh, but why would I pretend to be sick?" Jianxin scratched his head, unable to figure it out.
Su Chen briefly recounted the events to Jianxin.
"My God, Brother Chen, are you kidding me? Such a melodramatic plot, would it really happen to Miss Yuening?" Jianxin's eyes widened after hearing this, and he gasped. Even Hu Xiaotian, who was sleeping nearby, opened his eyes and stared at Su Chen, seemingly waiting for what would happen next.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Yuening." Su Chen picked up his teacup again and took a sip of tea.
Seeing that Su Chen didn't seem to be joking, Jianxin couldn't help but say, "That Miss Yuening is too pitiful, isn't she? By the way, will Miss Yuening come again?"
"I don't know, it's best not to come." Su Chen slowly got up from the chair and walked towards the backyard. He planned to rest well and recover his energy so he could see patients tomorrow.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and shocking news spread from the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty, causing countless Heaven-Burning citizens to boil over. The reason was that their hero, King Zhao, had actually led his army to surrender to the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty. Emperor Zhu Yunchi of the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty was furious and ordered the pursuit and killing of everyone in Prince Zhao's Residence. He even dispatched True God, determined to kill these traitors.
The main reason was that Zhu Yunchi was truly anxious. King Zhao had taken away tens of millions of elite soldiers from the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty. If these soldiers were not brought back, the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty's available forces would be reduced by more than half. If the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty were to launch a war at this time, how would the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty resist?
Therefore, the fact that King Zhao took away tens of millions of soldiers was a fatal blow to the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty.
However, King Zhao had already led his people to surrender to the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty. Naturally, the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty could not stand idly by and watch the True God powerhouses of the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty harm King Zhao and his group. Therefore, they also dispatched True God to protect King Zhao and his people.
Six months later, the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty launched another war against the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty. This time, the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty was led by King Zhao. With King Zhao's leadership and the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty losing so many soldiers, the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty lost nearly one-fifth of its territory in just a few months!
Zhu Yunchi was deeply troubled by this. He regretted choosing to use a slow-acting poison to kill the King Zhao. He should have been more decisive and had a True God- level expert eliminate the King Zhao. Although it would have chilled the hearts of the Heaven-Burning's people, it would have been better than the current situation.
But it was too late for regrets now. So Zhu Yunchi quickly issued an edict that all men who were sixteen years of age or older must serve in the military. Anyone who refused would be executed. The people of the Heaven-Burning dared not disobey the edict. Even if they did not want to participate in the military service, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and participate.
In just a few days, the Burning Heaven Divine Dynasty once again amassed tens of millions of soldiers. These soldiers had only undergone simple military training for a period of time before they went into battle, and they actually managed to slow down the offensive of the Divine Ruins Dynasty.
However, how could the tens of millions of soldiers reassembled by the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty possibly compare to the army of the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty, which had received professional training and had seen countless battles?
Although the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty God Ruins Imperial Dynasty's progress, it still couldn't stop the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty's offensive and continued to lose territory. If this continued, it would probably not be long before the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty completely destroyed the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty.
The war between the two great dynasties eventually reached Su Chen. Today, hundreds of armored soldiers walked the streets, and any adult male they saw would be seized without hesitation and forced into military service.
Many people were so frightened that they dared not leave their houses, locking them tightly in an attempt to evade the soldiers' inspection. However, this was futile; the soldiers would simply kick open the doors and use their Divine Sense to detect how many people were inside. It was impossible to avoid the inspection.
Su Chen's clinic had no patients today, Su Chen pleased him, as it was a good opportunity to rest. However, soon, hundreds of soldiers entered the clinic, led by a middle-aged man.
Upon hearing the sound, Jianxin looked over, frowned, and then turned his gaze to Su Chen.
Su Chen was reading a book at the time and didn't even raise his head when the middle-aged man and his group arrived, as if he was unaware of their presence.
"Interesting. You two are quite calm, unlike those good-for-nothings." The middle-aged man squinted at Su Chen and Jianxin. "Are you going to report to the army voluntarily, or do you need my help?"
Su Chen slowly put down the book in his hand, looked at the middle-aged man, and uttered a single word. "Get lost."
Upon hearing this, the room fell silent. The middle-aged man and the soldiers all stood there stunned for a long time...
