The return of Sun Jian and others caused a violent backlash.
Not only because they brought back a huge amount of wealth, but also because they captured the legendary Kun of the Northern Deep, a creature that exists only in mythology.
This was a feudal society, and people believed in God.
Now that even the legendary mythical beasts have been captured by the Great Liang, the people are astonished, thinking that the Great Liang is on its way to the heavens.
At first, they didn't dare to speak, but after the emperor left, they couldn't help but start discussing it.
What's it like to catch a mythical beast?
At this moment, a passing Daoist priest spoke up, exclaiming, "Divine beasts are the spirits of heaven and earth; how could a mortal emperor possibly possess them? The current emperor is probably a true celestial emperor descended to earth!"
"The Heavenly Emperor descended to earth?"
The surrounding villagers suddenly realized that this explanation made sense.
Our Emperor is the reincarnation of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, a supreme being in heaven. What's wrong with him eating a Kun now? There's nothing wrong with that.
However, compared to the joy of the people of Great Liang, these people from other tribes appeared rather somber, their eyes filled with worry.
Great Liang is too strong!
Just based on the momentum of the Qihuo Army and their weaponry, they were far beyond the reach of the Beggars' Army, which was a terrifying thing.
With such power, whether Lin Yi is the reincarnation of the Great Emperor Zhenwu is no longer important.
Now even mythical beasts have been killed. What's the difference between them and gods? They're powerful enough already.
Such a powerful Great Liang as Daliang posed a huge threat to them, since large countries often prey on smaller ones.
Abaddon was silent for a moment, before finally saying in a hoarse voice, "I thought that even if Great Liang was strong, it couldn't be much stronger, but now it seems that it's beyond my expectations."
The people of Great Liang have an astonishing level of unity, the army's execution is seamless, and their wealth is staggering, measured in hundreds of millions. This is truly a tricky situation!
It's one thing that you're good at fighting, but the key is that you're also so rich, which makes things difficult.
With so much money for Lin Yi to squander, he could easily launch several battles. This is not good news.
"This..."
A Long gave a wry smile; he also felt it was somewhat outrageous.
The problem is that the development of Great Liang has gone too far. It's not just outrageous; it's downright defying the heavens.
What country could rise from its founding to become powerful in such a short time? This is inexplicable unless it was a divine intervention by a celestial emperor.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, we must now abandon our hatred and unite with the Frostwest Empire, otherwise we may become the next Yamata Nation!"
Now that the Great Liang has vacated 400,000 troops, their next move is probably not far off!
The entire East is currently experiencing Great Liang, so if another attack is launched, it will undoubtedly be in the West, leaving no room for maneuver. Therefore, we must prepare as soon as possible.
"..."
Abaddon and the others froze, then fell silent before he nodded.
Although it may sound harsh, given the current state of the Qihuo Army, they really don't stand a chance against the Great Liang if they were to confront them. Therefore, the Great West Empire alone is absolutely no match for the Great Liang.
If the Great Liang continues to annex other territories, the Great West Empire will have no way out, so it is necessary to bring the Frostwest Empire into the fold.
Without further hesitation, he walked directly toward Bill III, who was not far away.
"Stop!"
As Abaddon approached, one of the guards frowned and stepped in front of Bill III.
This guy is my sworn enemy, does he intend to assassinate me?
What are you doing here?
The sound startled Bill III, who frowned as he watched Abaddon approach.
Abaddon glanced around and said in a deep voice, "What are your thoughts on today's scene?" He didn't believe Bill III could remain calm; this was absolutely insane.
"View?"
Upon hearing Abaddon's words, Bill III instantly understood that this guy had come to seek an alliance with him.
Although their own country has suffered because of this man, just as Abaddon needed allies, the Frostwest Empire now needs the support of allies to deter the restless Great Liang.
However, since it is an alliance, it naturally needs to have a dominant position.
He gave Abaddon a deep look and laughed, "What opinion could I possibly have? The Emperor of Great Liang is my son-in-law. He advocates peace in foreign affairs, and the stronger he becomes, the happier I am."
Do you even believe what you're saying?
Abaddon rolled his eyes, giving him a look that said, "Do you think I'm stupid?" and said disdainfully, "What peace-loving? Lin Yi has already destroyed five countries. What kind of peace is that?"
"As for the son-in-law, that's utter nonsense."
"Your daughter didn't even have a wedding, what kind of son-in-law is he? Your daughter was completely taken advantage of. If a fight really broke out, that fake son-in-law wouldn't hold back at all."
That old man really knows how to pat himself on the back; no wonder your son-in-law beats you up.
Forehead!
Bill III was speechless. Abaddon's words had struck a chord with him; the Frostwest Empire was truly having a hard time these days.
He knew perfectly well what kind of person Da Great Liang was.
The fact that Lin Yi could seize the Western Regions with a fabricated excuse shows just how shameless Lin Yi is; he probably won't hold back when it comes to beating his father-in-law.
Once he got here, he stopped pretending.
He looked at Abaddon and said in a deep voice, "Just say what you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush with me!"
We're all sensible people, why test each other?
hey-hey!
A glint of amusement flashed in Abaddon's eyes as he exclaimed, "You truly are a cunning old fox, worthy of being an emperor for decades."
I'm sure you know why I've come. The strength of the Great Liang is too great; we must unite, or we will both perish.
At this point, there's no need to beat around the bush; everyone here understands, so there's nothing more to say.
Bill III remained silent!
This was precisely the problem he was worried about, even more so than Abaddon. Because once Zhennan was destroyed, he could be next.
However, he shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid it's not enough for just you and me. The strength of the Great Liang is extraordinary; we need more reinforcements!"
He roughly calculated the strength of the Great Liang forces and concluded that if the Great Liang forces went all out, even the combined forces of his two countries would not gain an advantage.
To have a chance of winning, we need more countries.
"Okay, I'll send someone to make that contact!"
Abaddon thought for a moment, then nodded. It would be good to win over more countries, as that would be a safer bet.
However, under the pressure from Great Liang, many small countries will likely compromise with Great Liang, so this ally needs to be carefully considered.
