Bill III fell silent instantly.
He could have tried to decline before, but now that Abaddon had decided to go, his last shred of hope was shattered.
If I don't go, I'm afraid I'll end up on the Emperor of Great Liang's Blacklist.
As the saying goes, youthful impetuosity dictates that if he doesn't go, it would be disrespectful to Lin Yi, and that young and ambitious emperor of Great Liang would probably not let it go easily.
But here's the question: this involves personally going to Great Liang. What makes Abaddon dare to go? Isn't he afraid of being detained?
Abaddon isn't stupid; he wouldn't put his safety on Lin Yi's character.
There's something inside!
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "It's impossible for the Great Liang to suddenly invite emperors from various countries. Have you found out anything inside?"
"This..." Aksu shook his head. He was in charge of war planning, and his intelligence network did not extend to the interior of Great Liang, so he really didn't know about this matter.
Advisor Derby was also completely baffled. Did the Emperor of Great Liang really want everyone to wish him a happy birthday?
"His Majesty!"
At this moment, Nishu stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "I had my men disguise themselves as merchants and enter Northern Liang. Lin Yi's invitation to the kings of various countries is probably to confirm the sovereignty of certain territories."
"Territorial sovereignty?"
Everyone's eyelids twitched wildly. What did this mean? Where else did they need to confirm sovereignty over their territory? Could it be that they were eyeing the Frostwest Empire?
This is insane!
Is Great Liang already locked in a fierce battle with Zhennan, and now it's also trying to seize control of the Frostwest Empire? Or does Great Liang want to divide the Frostwest Empire with the Great West Empire?
Hiss!
Upon realizing this, everyone gasped in horror, terrified by the thought.
If that's the case, then the Frostwest Empire is in big trouble.
Bill III's pupils constricted, and he looked directly at Nishu, pressing for an answer, " Nishu, where exactly are these 'certain territories'?"
"Your Majesty, the information I received concerns about certain territories, but the exact locations seem to have been left undisclosed by the Great Liang," Nishu said with a wry smile.
"Damn it, Lin Yi must have done it on purpose!"
Bill III's face turned green; he seemed to understand why Nishu had received the message.
The mention of certain territories was likely deliberately revealed to him by Lin Yi, as a reminder that if he didn't participate, the Frostwest Empire could potentially be divided up by multiple countries.
Damn it, I have no choice but to go now.
His face was dark, and he said in a deep voice, "Isn't Lin Yi getting along very well with Zhennan? How come he still has the mind to interfere in other territories?"
Shouldn't a one-on-one battle between two major powers be all-out? Why does Great Liang seem so relaxed, as if the war has nothing to do with Great Liang?
Forehead!
Upon hearing this, before Nishu could speak, Aksu stepped forward.
He said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, the Great Liang has utterly destroyed the first line of defense in Zhennan, and a million-strong army has poured in."
Earlier reports indicated that even Pingyu Pass had fallen into the hands of Great Liang, and the next major battle between the two sides was expected to take place at Flying Hero Pass.
Once a victor is determined, the war will likely be nearing its end.
He had been closely following the war between Great Liang and Zhennan these days, so he was most aware of the situation.
The clearer one's understanding of the battle situation, the more one can feel the terror of Great Liang; it's definitely not just talk.
That's really strong!
" Great Liang is way too strong! They're the bullies of the plateau!"
The courtiers were in an uproar. This meant that even the Zhennan Dynasty might not be able to withstand the attack from Great Liang, which was terrifying.
Zhennan was known as the bully of the plateau, and his strength certainly lived up to that title. The fact that such power was Great Liang overwhelmed by Daliang suggests something extraordinary was going on.
Without Zhennan as a shield, the next target could be the Frostwest Empire.
Grunt!
Bill III swallowed hard, finally abandoning his attempt to brush it off, and muttered, "Looks like I still have to go to Great Liang, otherwise that kid Lin Yi will really mess with me!"
If a young man Abaddon dares to go, there's no reason why I wouldn't.
At least his daughter is still in the Great Liang Imperial Palace, so there's some semblance of human kindness involved. Lin Yi shouldn't dare to All Under Heaven.
However, everything must be arranged before going, otherwise there will still be some risks.
Great Liang!
As Emperor Lin Yi's birthday drew closer, the capital city became increasingly lively, with people everywhere on the streets, and many places even experiencing overcrowding.
The hawking merchants, the vibrant people, and the imposing, solemn guards filled Yong'an City with a powerful aura.
This scene filled Dan Ting, who had just entered Great Liang, with envy. He murmured, "Is this Great Liang? It truly is prosperous and powerful!"
He was the king of a small kingdom in the northwest, located in the northeast of the Frostwest Empire.
Because their land was so barren, they were not eroded. However, their lives were still difficult, with many people starving to death every year.
Seeing how prosperous Great Liang was, he felt both envy and immense fear, as Great Liang's border was right next to his.
Upon receiving the news, he came without hesitation, even bringing half of the country's wealth, hoping to curry favor with the Emperor of Great Liang.
" Great Liang is too powerful; we can't afford to offend them."
Beside him was another delegation, whose king looked ashen-faced and muttered to himself.
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Dan Ting couldn't help but look at him, and her heart stirred.
Dan Ting recognized this man; he was the king of a small country that was affiliated with the Frostwest Empire. However, he was much stronger than Dan Ting, so he had often bullied Dan Ting. Dan Ting never expected Dan Ting to be so frightened.
Their arrogant expressions had vanished, replaced by a sense of anxiety and unease, as if they were keeping a low profile.
Dan Ting sneered. This guy must have suffered a loss at the hands of Great Liang, and that's why he's intimidated.
"Hehe, this guy hit a child with his car earlier and refused to admit his mistake, so he got a beating." Seemingly sensing Dan Ting's confusion, someone said with a gloating expression.
Upon hearing his words, the former king's face stiffened, and he became even more frustrated.
I've unfortunately offended Great Liang. I'd better find a way to apologize, otherwise I might be in deep trouble.
" The King of Great Night!"
Upon seeing the person speaking, Dan Ting's eyes lit up; it was someone he knew.
The Great Night Kingdom is an oasis country, and I've had some dealings with it before, but I never expected to run into it here.
He exclaimed excitedly, " King of Great Night, what a coincidence to run into you here!"
Having someone outside to watch over and help you makes you feel much more at ease. At least you can stand together through thick and thin and have more say in things.
"Hehe, the Great Liang is the overlord of the East. Inviting me is a favor to me, how could I dare not come!" The King of Great Night's lips twitched as he chuckled dryly.
He certainly didn't want to come, after all, Great Liang trouble, and if things went wrong, it could lead to the destruction of the country.
However, he dared not refuse to come. Compared to the Great Liang, his own Great Night Kingdom was nothing but a small fry. How could he dare to offend the Great Liang?
Why!
The two men exchanged a glance, sharing a sense of shared hardship; being a king wasn't easy these days.
