"Bitter!"
Abaddon had originally planned to scheme against Lin Yi, but he never expected to shoot himself in the foot and end up feeling terrible.
If the Great Liang were to send its army to the border of the Frostwest Empire, it's uncertain whether the Great West Empire would come to its aid, but it would definitely be a blow to the Great Liang. This is simply too difficult.
He said awkwardly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. We in the West are capable of holding off this Land of the Far West, so there's no need for Great Liang to interfere. After all, Great Liang is still at war with the Zhennan Dynasty, so we don't need to trouble you. We can handle it ourselves!"
In any case, we must not allow the Great Liang to find a reason to increase its troops in the west.
If the Great Liang were to station too many troops in the Western Regions, the entire west would be within Great Liang attack range, which would put immense pressure on us.
yes!
Upon hearing this, Bill III's eyes lit up. How could he, with so many countries in the West, not handle 100,000 people? He could drown them with a single spit from each of them.
In this way, the Great Liang would have no excuse to reinforce its troops in the Western Regions, and thus its own safety would be ensured.
"Yes, yes, we in the West can handle this Land of the Far West ourselves, without bothering Great Liang!"
"Only 100,000 men. We can easily defeat that Land of the Far West. Why bother with the might of the Great Liang?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. We can handle it ourselves!"
The other kings echoed this sentiment, using the excuse that the West had already dealt with the situation, in an attempt to sideline Great Liang. They believed that as long as Great Liang was temporarily stabilized, they would not back down from the Land of the Far West.
Even if he is the overlord of the Land of the Far West, with only 100,000 people, he can't cause any trouble.
"If you can handle it yourselves, that's good!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi didn't react excessively. Instead, he nodded in satisfaction, his face full of appreciation.
However, before Abaddon and the others could even rejoice, Lin Yi spoke up again.
"It would be good if you could handle it, and I would be happy for you. However, there is also danger on the border of my Great Liang, and we cannot place our hopes on others, so it is imperative to reinforce the Western Regions!" he said solemnly.
You can handle things yourselves, but the reinforcement of troops by the Great Liang in the west is a done deal, and it won't be withdrawn just because they object.
His gaze swept over the kings of several small countries; these little brothers still didn't understand the situation.
They're the next target of the Great Liang, and yet they dare to stand up and agree? They're practically courting death, sending themselves straight to their doom.
"Holy shit!"
The kings of several small countries turned green with anger; they were finally dropping the pretense.
They don't even need help on their side, yet the Great Liang still wants to send reinforcements. This is clearly a case of ulterior motives, wanting to take advantage of the West's misfortune.
But the other party's reasons are precisely what make it impossible to refuse.
The kings of the smaller countries felt a chill in their hearts. Lin Yi's gaze just now was full of disdain and warning; they were clearly being targeted by Lin Yi.
It's over.
Abaddon and Bill III both felt a jolt in their hearts, now certain of Great Liang's intentions.
"No, brother, there's no need for that!" Abaddon wanted to say more.
"Alright!"
Lin Yi waved his hand, interrupting him, and laughed, "Today is my birthday, so let's not talk about these unhappy things. Let's drink until we drop!"
After saying that, he raised his glass, indicating that everyone should get hyped up first.
Forehead!
Abaddon's face stiffened, and he cursed Lin Yi in his heart, but he didn't say anything and awkwardly raised his glass to drink.
However, his expression was rather grim, as things were not going well for the West this time.
After several rounds of drinks, Abaddon and the others were completely absorbed in their own thoughts and had no appetite whatsoever.
After presenting their gifts, they left immediately, leaving only a few kings from countries that had pledged allegiance to Great Liang behind.
Watching their retreating figures, Li Yu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "My lord, these people's eyes are filled with resentment. I'm afraid they will surely become our enemies once they return to the West!"
The resentment in these people's eyes is almost tangible; they are definitely going to cause trouble.
Upon hearing this, the kings of the remaining small kingdoms were startled, feeling extremely uneasy. How could this be so unbelievable?
"Hmph, do they even deserve to be enemies with my Great Liang? What about their so-called Grand Western Alliance?" A hint of disdain flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. This so-called alliance sounded impressive, but by the time they formed the alliance, there probably wouldn't be many left.
He had already instructed Xue Rengui to prepare for the expedition, and with the elite troops of the Great Tang under his command, a lightning attack would surely annihilate these small countries in a short time.
He was a complete stranger, even his weapons and equipment were of a different style, and had nothing to do with the Great Liang.
To be even more shameless, Xue Rengui could be the second force in the Land of the Far West.
hey-hey!
Guo Jia couldn't help but laugh; these people had ultimately underestimated the strength of the Great Liang.
He gave the kings of the small kingdoms a meaningful look, then said with a disdainful expression, " Abaddon thought the Zhennan Dynasty could hold back my Great Liang, but he didn't know that Zhennan is now at its last gasp, and its demise is imminent!"
This statement was addressed not only to Li Yu, but also to them.
Grunt!
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the kings' expressions changed drastically; the Great Liang was already on the verge of conquering the Zhennan Dynasty.
This is incredibly fast! The opponent is no less powerful than the Frostwest Empire, yet they were defeated in such a short time.
Having exchanged a glance, they both felt a sense of relief, thankful that they had made the right choice, otherwise their lives might have been in danger.
"Your Majesty, we yearn for the glorious era of Great Liang. With Your Majesty's existence, Great Liang will surely last forever!"
"We firmly support Great Liang; from now on, we are people of Great Liang."
"We obey His Majesty's orders without question, swearing to serve His Majesty to the death. May we be struck by lightning if we disobey!"
The group dared not delay and immediately swore oaths, fearing that Lin Yi would discard them after using them, which would be too terrible.
After all, the Emperor of Great Liang was clearly no pushover; he had probably destroyed more than a dozen countries under his rule. He was truly a great demon king of the East.
Offending him will make you wish you were dead!
"Ha ha!"
Lin Yi's gaze swept over the kings of several small countries. Seeing their solemn expressions, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "You are all quite good. Since you have pledged allegiance to my Great Liang, I will naturally not treat you unfairly. From now on, you can stay in Yong'an City and enjoy your lives."
Your family will also receive preferential treatment, and may even be allowed to join the Great Liang army, but they will no longer hold the title of king.
Their future success depends on their own abilities!
