Nan Yiming's Horror: There Was No Way to Play This Game

Nan Yiming was among a group of alien races.

Besides asking some Great Liang, he also communicated with some small countries, and the results he got made him lose his composure.

This Great Liang is not only powerful, but even more powerful than I imagined.

" The Great Liang not only deployed a million troops to the southwest region, locking down its own Zhennan Dynasty, but also had three to four hundred thousand troops in the Western Regions, and another four hundred thousand were returning to the Yamata Nation."

"There's also a navy patrolling the coast, hundreds of thousands of troops from the northern barbarians stationed there, plus standing forces in other regions... this..."

Nan Yiming felt a chill run down his spine; even a rough estimate suggested an army exceeding two million.

If we include the hidden power of the Great Liang, then the figure definitely reaches an astonishing three million. That's fucking outrageous!

Three million troops!

He remembered his father saying that Great Liang and Zhennan were roughly equal in strength, and he felt his face turn red.

This isn't just a small difference; it's a huge difference. This is three times the troop strength of Zhennan.

"Three times the number of troops?"

The deputy envoy on the side also trembled. He was truly shocked when he calculated it.

His face was deathly pale, even tinged with despair, as he wailed, "With three million troops at my command, who in this All Under Heaven can stand against the Great Liang? Their million-strong army is nothing to them!"

Although the Great Liang mobilized a million troops, the troops on the border remained completely unmoved, and there were even 400,000 troops on the way. This is simply outrageous.

This means that Great Liang didn't use his full strength when he fought him; he was just playing with a child.

Nan Yiming took a deep breath, thinking of the calligraphy Xu You had given him earlier, and then considering Zhennan's situation, he fell into deep thought.

Based on these previous reports, it seems that Great Liang is not only powerful, but also not someone who gives up halfway.

This is already the most Zhennan operational order issued, and it will be difficult to change this fact. My attempt to negotiate this time will probably be in vain.

That would lead to one outcome: the destruction of Zhennan.

Faced with this almost certain outcome, I probably need to make plans early, otherwise I might also sink along with them.

Thinking of this, he said somewhat Zhennan, "I'm afraid I'm really finished this time!"

The Zhennan Dynasty has been causing trouble for quite some time now, and they've encountered enemies before, but they've never faced such a desperate moment.

This time, we've encountered Great Liang; it seems we're truly doomed!

"A person from the Zhennan Dynasty?"

Although the two spoke cautiously, they were still overheard by those nearby, who immediately came closer. However, the look in their eyes was full of pity.

Zhennan is currently under Great Liang attack from Daliang. Even a fool would know that their situation is dire, and they've probably come here to surrender.

Nan Yiming's face stiffened, and he said awkwardly, "Yes, what a coincidence."

"Oh?"

When he nodded in acknowledgment, everyone was astonished and looked at him with great curiosity.

"Good heavens, you're still at war with Great Liang, yet you dare to come Great Liang?"

"You are truly brave warriors! You should know that the people of our region dare not provoke the Great Liang; their strength is truly terrifying."

"Speechless, Zhennan is awesome!"

The crowd cheered, looking at Nan Yiming as if he were an idol. This was a true warrior, showing no fear of a powerful figure like Great Liang.

Of course, there were also a group of people who looked at him like he was an idiot. How dare a Zhennan dare to confront Great Liang, and now he even dares to come here on his own initiative? What else could he be but an idiot?

Stared at by these eyes, Nan Yiming broke down and forced a dry laugh, "Please don't misunderstand, everyone. Although Zhennan is at war with Great Liang, I've come here for the sake of friendship between our two countries, hoping to reach a consensus."

"Cut!"

Everyone rolled their eyes and gave him a look that said "idiot."

As everyone knows, if you want to talk about peace with the Great Liang, you have to start from the beginning. You've already started a war; talking about peace with the Great Liang is just nonsense.

This is no longer peace; it's courting disaster.

Everyone simply ignored him; if Zhennan didn't die, it would be a disgrace to the prestige of Great Liang.

Damn it!

Nan Yiming's lips twitched, thinking to himself, "Do you think I want this? We've already started fighting, what's the point of talking about this now?"

Everyone ignored his thoughts and immediately shifted the focus to the main topic of the discussion.

"By the way, do you know why Great Liang invited us this time?"

"We brought gifts specifically to celebrate Emperor Liang's birthday."

"That may not be the case. I've heard that both the Frostwest Empire and the Great West Empire have inside information, and it seems they're planning to divide up some territory?"

"Dividing territory?"

Upon hearing this inside story, everyone's pupils constricted, and even Nan Yiming was dumbfounded; there was actually such a secret involved.

What territory are you talking about? Are you trying to carve out your own Zhennan Dynasty?

His heart pounded, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "No way, Great Liang alone could conquer Zhennan, would they be so kind as to share it with other countries?"

This isn't the style of Great Liang.

He looked at the speaker and asked, "Brother, how did you know this? This must be top secret!"

"Yes!"

People from other small countries were also puzzled; they hadn't received this information either, so how did this guy know this inside story?

Does this mean my country isn't strong enough?

However, at this moment, someone recognized the speaker and frowned, saying, " Chief Abe, how did you know about this? Are you part of the territory division?"

This Chief Abe is the head of a newly emerging force, active in the northwest of the Frostwest Empire, and his strength is considerable.

But they are roughly equal in strength to our own country, so there's no reason why he should know the news while we don't.

Hearing his words, Abe shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I also came to congratulate Emperor Liang on his birthday. The reason I know about this is because the emperor of the Frostwest Empire once asked me about it."

Bill III?

The crowd nodded slightly, then frowned and said, "That makes sense. The only ones capable of sharing territory with the Great Liang are probably the Great West Empire and the Frostwest Empire."

But here's the question: where exactly is this territory?

The crowd's eyes flickered as they began to weigh the pros and cons, and also considered where they should stand in this situation.

I heard that the Liang Emperor invited Abaddon from the Great West Empire; perhaps we can get some information from him.

Just then, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from outside, instantly waking everyone up.

What's going on?

Looking out the window, I saw only local people from Great Liang everywhere, each holding a red bag, doing something I couldn't tell.
