Since the Great Liang can beat up the Frostwest Empire, that means it can also beat up itself, which is really frustrating.
Looking at the gift list in his hand, he suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.
Minister Morandi took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "Your Majesty, in that case, we must value the friendship with Great Liang. This country has now entered the West! If I'm not mistaken, the Frostwest Empire's delegation has probably also entered Great Liang!"
Holy crap!
This statement shattered any remaining hope in everyone's hearts. It didn't matter that the Great West Empire lacked the friendship of the Great Liang Empire, but if the Great Liang and the Frostwest Empire joined forces, that would be a much bigger problem.
The Great Liang could sweep across the Western Regions, but if it were to unite with the Frostwest Empire, its own Great West Empire would likely be utterly crushed.
"Damn it, the Frostwest Empire has utterly disgraced the West by letting wolves into the house!" Abaddon gripped the gift list so tightly he wanted to crush it to pieces.
As Morandi said, he wasn't afraid that the Great Liang would be unfriendly to the Great West Empire, but he was afraid that the Great Liang would become friendly with the Frostwest Empire, which would be awkward.
He glanced at Morandi and said in a deep voice, "Minister, what conditions do you think the Frostwest Empire will offer?"
" The Frostwest Empire is currently strong on the outside but weak on the inside. They can't offer much benefit, but the Emperor of Great Liang is only in his twenties. So the Frostwest Empire has the best gift for us!" Morandi glanced cautiously at his emperor and said with a dry laugh.
Upon hearing this, Abaddon's face turned green. This shrewd young man in his twenties made his heart pound.
He couldn't help but exclaim, " Princess Anne?"
Holy crap! This was his chosen future queen, and that son of a bitch Bill III gave her to Lin Yi?!
This is like being cuckolded before it even starts!
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The bigger picture is at stake," Adolf said, his lips twitching as he tried to reason with him.
As Abaddon's uncle, he felt it necessary to remind his nephew that offending Great Liang now would be the most foolish thing to do.
Click click click!
Abaddon gritted his teeth, but finally held back, and said in a deep voice, "Have someone prepare the items on the gift list. Give away anything that can be provided. They've already brought their gifts, so our Great West Empire cannot be ungrateful!"
Also, Princess Anne..."
Cough cough!
Before he could finish speaking, his uncle glared at him, "Your Majesty, the greater good is at stake."
Damn!
Abaddon's heart bled, but he forced himself to endure it and let Princess Anne be.
If a woman is taken away, you can always take her back later. But if the country is gone, you're completely finished.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Their emperor had finally made a wise decision. What did it matter if he was cuckolded? The safety of the country was the most important thing.
Damn it!
Abaddon's lips twitched, but he didn't blame his ministers. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Have someone send the gifts over quickly. We absolutely cannot let the Frostwest Empire get there first. We can even divide the Frostwest Empire among ourselves!"
"I understand!" Morandi nodded and immediately went to make the arrangements.
If a requirement can be met, it should be met; if a requirement cannot be met, it should still be met as much as possible. That's enough.
Watching the minister's retreating figure, Abaddon frowned. He realized he would probably have to seek an alliance with the Black Skull Army, otherwise things were going to get tough.
At this time, the peace of the entire West was indeed shattered.
The news that all twenty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions had fallen and been captured by the Great Liang Dynasty spread throughout the entire West in just a few days, and even some peripheral countries had heard about it.
"How terrifying is the Great Liang! The 500,000-strong army of the Western Regions was wiped out in just a few days, and the Frostwest Empire didn't even have time to make a move. This is too outrageous!"
"This news is not good; a hungry wolf has come from the West!"
"Yes, the Great Liang is too domineering. They don't even respect the Frostwest Empire. They know the Western Regions belong to them, yet they still dare to make a move."
"The West is about to face many troubles!"
The sight of a behemoth that conquered the Western Regions in just a few days left all nations feeling oppressed, as if Mount Tai were pressing down on them. It could be said that the entire West trembled.
Not only were the local armies of the Frostwest Empire frequently mobilized, but even the Great West Empire and the Black Skull Army were frightened and began to adjust their strategic attitude, wanting to establish a more friendly relationship with the Great Liang.
For Western countries, their internal conflicts have always resulted in minimal losses.
But now that a ferocious tiger has appeared, one that even eats people, that's really terrifying.
The enemy's terrifying combat power, in particular, made them feel like they had a thorn in their side.
Besides the West, there was also the Zhennan Dynasty, which was arguably the most distressed.
When the news reached the palace, King Nan Ke turned green with rage.
He had originally planned to let the Western Regions draw the attention of the Great Liang while he secretly developed his strength, but he never expected the Western Regions to fall so quickly, which was something he never anticipated.
Nan Ke glanced at Zan Rihong with a gloomy expression, frowned, and said, "Minister, what's the situation in the Western Regions? They have the support of the Frostwest Empire and an army of 500,000 men at their disposal, so why have they only held out for a few days?"
This is absolutely outrageous! Are the people of the Western Regions all pigs?
Even if the Western Regions are full of pigs, surely the Frostwest Empire isn't? They're in cahoots, yet things have turned out like this.
What a terrible teammate!
"Your Majesty, it is said that the Western Regions were swept away by the Great Liang in just one day, and the rest of the time was spent only collecting prisoners," Zan Rihong with a dry laugh.
puff!
Nan Ke had just taken a sip of tea to calm his nerves when he heard this, and immediately spat it out, exclaiming, "Destroy the Western Regions in one day, kill half a million Western Regions their troops? Are you kidding me?"
If this is true, then the fighting power of the Great Liang is simply too terrifying.
"Even if it's a bit of an exaggeration, it's not far off. It's said that the reinforcements from the Frostwest Empire had already arrived, but they only took one look and then turned and ran away." Zan Rihong took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression.
These words immediately caused an uproar among the court officials. The fact that the 300,000 reinforcements from the Frostwest Empire had retreated without a fight was quite alarming.
Nan Ke's face darkened further, then he looked at his son and said in a deep voice, " Yiming, what's the situation in the Jackal Kingdom now? What are their people doing?"
After witnessing this terrifying fighting power, he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
If the enemy can sweep through the Western Regions in a day, then they could also take over our Zhennan Dynasty in a short time. We must be vigilant.
"Father, the other side hasn't taken any military action. They've just been playing football and horse racing." Nan Yiming nodded upon hearing this, looking puzzled.
