As an intelligence operative, he personally entered the Great Liang.
There, they are not very friendly to their neighboring countries; they will destroy a country at the slightest disagreement, making them an extremely powerful force.
This guy is not to be trifled with; you could easily get yourself into trouble.
Stealing potatoes and shipbuilding technology was already dangerous enough, but now His Majesty the Emperor is going to escalate the theft even further. Is he afraid that they won't come after the Yamata Nation?
The Great Liang army numbered nearly two million, and this was no joke; it was a real army of two million.
If a real conflict breaks out, how can the Yamata Nation possibly fight back?
"What, two million troops?"
Emperor Muren constricted. Had the Great Liang become so powerful that it could now easily defeat the Jackal Kingdom and dominate the Western Regions?
What does an army of two million mean? That's practically insane! That's more than ten times the size of the Yamata Nation.
If that's the case, Yamata Nation is indeed in some danger.
He had been somewhat skeptical of the earlier reports that the Great Liang was very powerful, but the appearance of this two million-strong army made him uneasy.
This is a huge problem!
Even Prime Minister Jingbian Yilang couldn't help but show a worried expression, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he thought that Yamata Nation was far enough away from Great Liang.
Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from outside, interrupting the three's conversation.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
"Something terrible has happened!!!"
The people who came didn't care about etiquette and rushed straight towards the palace, tumbling and crawling all the way, leaving a trail of sparks and lightning.
Emperor Muren's face immediately darkened, and he roared, "What's going on? Why are you in such a panic? Do you want to die?"
If this man hadn't been his personal guard, he would have killed him outright; he had absolutely no manners.
If word gets out, how will the All Under Heaven view me? It's clearly a sign of incompetence in managing my subordinates.
"His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Someone just delivered a note, insisting that we give it to His Majesty the Emperor, I..."
Upon seeing the Emperor's murderous aura, the newcomer dared not hesitate any longer and quickly began to explain.
Post?
Upon hearing his words, Muren's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "What post is so important that it's making you so flustered?"
"Your Majesty, over here!"
The person nodded and quickly handed over the invitation, though their hand trembled slightly as they did so.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Muren frowned and accepted the invitation.
Upon opening the post, his hands trembled so badly he nearly dropped it, exclaiming, "Damn it, what is this?!"
A strong stench of blood wafted over him, and the huge character for "kill" above it made his face turn extremely pale.
What's going on? Is someone threatening me?
Jingbian Yilang also came closer, and looking at the character for "kill" above, he couldn't help but frown.
Upon seeing the seal on the other side, his pupils constricted, and he exclaimed, "Oh no! This is a letter from the Emperor of Great Liang! This is his seal!"
"What? Lin Yi, the Emperor of Great Liang?"
Upon hearing his words, Emperor Muren changed drastically, and he immediately looked at the seal on the post.
[By the mandate of Heaven, may your life be long and prosperous]
[ Great Liang. Lin Yi ]
One was the national seal, and the other was Lin Yi's personal seal, which clearly explained his origins.
Looking at the blood-covered character for "kill," Jingbian Yilang couldn't help but tremble and say, "Damn it, this is probably a declaration of war! The Great Liang has declared war on our Yamata Nation!"
"What? They've declared war?"
The Emperor's face turned green, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and say, "Why does Great Liang have the right to declare war on us? Is it because we were discovered stealing their shipbuilding technology and potatoes?"
Just because of potatoes and shipbuilding technology, they declare war without warning? That's incredibly arrogant!
Is this the attitude of Great Liang?
"This bears the personal seal of the Emperor of Great Liang and the Heirloom Seal of the Realm. It's probably not fake. Surely they wouldn't have brought it here just to scare us?" Jingbian Yilang said bitterly.
He had a bad feeling; the Yamata Nation was probably in deep trouble this time.
Emperor Muren was furious and couldn't help but sneer, "What an arrogant Lin Yi! Does he think he's All Under Heaven? How dare he treat me like this!"
Across the vast ocean, I simply don't believe you can defeat us.
This is absolutely outrageous! They're treating the Yamata Nation like it's nothing, just a dessert!
So what if you have two million troops? You can't just fly over there!
Although the Yamata Nation had just completed its unification, it was a veteran of the seas, and the Great Liang Kingdom's attempt to surpass it in this regard was somewhat too arrogant.
Even a useless person has three nails; if you anger the Yamata Nation, you can gnaw on a few bones.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from outside.
"Report!"
"Our forces have been attacked at sea. A large number of ships are heading this way, and their target appears to be our Yamata Nation's mainland."
A soldier covered in blood ran in; numerous wounds were visible on his body, indicating he had suffered greatly.
Most importantly, the news he brought back sent chills down everyone's spines: a large number of warships were heading towards the mainland of the Yamata Nation.
Recalling the challenge they had just received, the Emperor and the others turned pale; this was no joke.
Muren couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn it, is Lin Yi really going to do this?"
No sooner had the challenge been issued than a large number of warships arrived in their direction, indicating that they were determined to fight for real.
His body trembled slightly as he felt an unprecedented fear; if things went wrong, it could be utter annihilation.
"Your Majesty, we must make a decision soon. If we let them attack, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Jingbian Yilang said through gritted teeth.
In this situation, the forces of Great Liang are simply too numerous. Once they establish a foothold, they will be able to send in a continuous stream of troops.
This was an absolute nightmare for the Yamata Nation.
Emperor Muren nodded heavily and said in a deep voice, "That makes sense. Issue the order to gather all forces to block the Great Liang Navy. We must not let them land!"
Also, send someone to explain to Great Liang that we are friends of Great Liang, and friends shouldn't make things difficult for each other.
As long as they are stopped in the water, our homeland will be safe, and that's our only chance of survival.
For now, the only option is to stall.
If we were to fight head-on, we'd probably be no match for them and would have to back down.
However, the most urgent task is to withstand the first wave of attacks from Great Liang, otherwise there may be no future.
