Princess Anne knew perfectly well that the Frostwest Empire was now in grave danger, and a single misstep could lead to utter ruin.
The building is about to collapse; there's no way to save it!
Leaving aside the flourishing of the Great Liang Empire, the old problem of the Great West Empire, coupled with the rise of the Black Skull Army as a new troublemaker, means that the Frostwest Empire is being attacked from three sides, which has directly plunged it into a quagmire.
To others, the Frostwest Empire is probably like a tempting cake, something everyone wants to take a bite of.
The position of one's own father is somewhat too hot to handle.
"Your Highness, please rest assured, everything will be alright!"
Ashley sighed, feeling deeply uneasy. Watching his country decline day by day, and then seeing the Great Liang celebrating universally, he felt as if he had eaten shit.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to stay alert.
If we can establish Great Liang this time, then everything will still be alright, at least giving the Frostwest Empire a chance to recover.
He didn't say much about other matters. Now that they had entered the territory of Great Liang, they had to be careful with their words in many places, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Once something goes wrong, there's no escaping it!
Princess Anne nodded and said in a deep voice, " The Great West Empire must have received the news as well, and will certainly accelerate its alliance with the Great Liang. We must also speed up our pace."
"Let's not delay, let's continue on our way!" Ashley nodded and ordered the group to keep going.
The Frostwest Empire cannot afford to lose, so it must go all out, even if it means losing face.
Compared to the Frostwest Empire, the remaining people of the Yamata Nation were even more anxious at this moment.
Tanaka Yako, the leader of this operation, had a ferocious expression on her face and gritted her teeth, saying, "Damn it, such a small operation has cost me so many men! Great Liang is simply going too far!"
A total of fifty-four people entered Great Liang this time. Thirty-seven of them were lost while spying, and now three more have been captured. In the blink of an eye, he only has thirteen men left.
If things continue like this, he will become a commander without any troops, which is unacceptable to him.
I had been keeping a low profile, and had no other intentions besides gathering necessary intelligence, but even so, I still suffered such heavy losses, all because of Great Liang.
"Team leader, we came here for Great Liang's shipbuilding technology and potatoes. These are priceless assets, so this loss is completely acceptable," Deputy team leader Monzen Atsumi said, seeing his team leader about to explode.
This mission is very important for us. We absolutely cannot give up because of a little loss or act impulsively and ruin all our previous efforts. That would be irrational.
Enduring hardship and carrying these things back is the only way forward.
Tanaka Yako took a deep breath to calm her inner turmoil and said in a deep voice, "I understand. Has any news come back from this spying on the shipyard?"
The results weren't ideal!
Hearing his words, Monzen Atsumi sighed and said with a wry smile, " Great Liang has recently been developing its shipbuilding industry on a large scale, but at the same time they have taken precautions against the theft of their technology, so both the Net and Hundred Riders have people involved there."
We sent dozens of men before, but they all perished there. It probably won't be so easy to get them."
"Why!"
Tanaka Yako's face stiffened, and she couldn't help but sigh, "Now that a large number of warships have been sailed into the deep sea, the ambition of the Emperor Zhenwu of Great Liang is obvious. He probably wants to bring the entire sea area into his territory, which is something we absolutely cannot accept."
The rapid development of the ocean by the Great Liang Kingdom has made the Yamata Nation feel a strong sense of crisis, even to the point of being terrified.
The Yamata Nation is located in the ocean, far from any continental plate. Ordinary ships cannot reach the Yamata Nation Yamata Nation, let alone locate it, so they have always been very safe.
Several years ago, they accidentally drifted to the waters of Great Ning and discovered Great Ning prosperity and advancement, and from then on, they deeply longed for the beauty of Great Ning.
At that time, Li Anlan had just ascended the throne. After hearing a few flattering words from the overseas island nation, he was immediately delighted and bestowed some gifts upon them, which they treasured and hurriedly took back with them.
Unfortunately, before the two sides could establish diplomatic relations, a coup occurred in their country, and several major forces fought each other to the death, so they did not pay attention to Great Ning.
Recently, they discovered the warships of the Great Liang on the sea and heard news of high potato yields from other places, so they began to send people into the territory of the Great Liang.
To my utter surprise, even the country had changed after I arrived.
The Great Liang of today is not as easily fooled as the Great Ning, and it is not as friendly to other ethnic groups. Most of them are all smiles on the surface, but they might turn around and hit you with a stick, so it is very disharmonious.
The Emperor of Great Liang was even more difficult to fool. Who would have thought that he would immediately launch a fierce attack upon hearing the name of the Yamata Nation? This was simply unacceptable to him.
Tanaka Yako couldn't help but grit her teeth and say, "Emperor Lin Yi of Great Liang is going too far! He actually accused us of stealing chickens? This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the All Under Heaven! Even if our Yamata Nation is poor, we are not as bad as stealing chickens!"
Could it be that some good-for-nothing commoner stole a chicken from the Emperor of Great Liang?
That must be it. It must be that the people of the Yamata Nation in Great Liang offended the emperor of Great Liang by stealing chickens, which is why the emperor was so disgusted and even irritable.
Monzen Atsumi deeply agreed, frowning as he said, "This matter is of utmost importance. We must find out who stole this chicken, and then execute them to atone to the Emperor of Great Liang."
Since the chicken thief has offended Lin Yi, then just kill the chicken thief, and everything will be resolved.
Is it really that simple?
Everyone frowned slightly. How could an emperor be so angry just because of a chicken? That was clearly impossible.
Someone couldn't help but whisper, "Team leader, is it possible that the Emperor of Great Liang just dislikes our Yamata Nation and is using some excuse to attack us?"
"I think so too, otherwise what kind of chicken is so amazing?" another person chimed in.
Don't like my Yamata Nation?
Upon hearing this, Tanaka Yako initially found it absurd. After all, this was the first time her Yamata Nation had appeared before Lin Yi, and there was no reason for them to offend him. This was clearly unreliable.
But upon closer inspection, it's actually quite possible.
Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, then we must make two preparations, otherwise we may not be able to complete the mission. I have already stolen some potatoes from the people of Great Liang, and the only thing left to obtain is the shipbuilding technology."
Later, we split into two groups. One group left with the potatoes we had obtained, while the other group went to the palace to present gifts and test the waters with the Emperor of Great Liang.
In this situation, we have to take a gamble; otherwise, the chances are slim.
However, to ensure the completion of one task, it's best to send Potato back first, lest both tasks fall apart.
Just then, he suddenly heard a noise outside, and his gaze sharpened.
Oh no, something's happened outside.
