The Great West Empire is currently in a precarious situation, facing threats from both the Land of the Far West and the Great Liang region. It must break free from this constraint.
If you're being attacked from both sides like this, you might be able to hold out for a short time, but it's hard to say what will happen in the long run.
After much deliberation, he made a difficult decision.
He looked at his uncle, Adolf, and said in a deep voice, "Uncle, I wish to meet the people of the Land of the Far West. What do you think?"
Simply forming an alliance isn't enough now; if possible, we also need to try and win over this Land of the Far West.
If the Land of the Far West could temporarily cease hostilities, or if attention could be diverted to the Great Liang, it would undoubtedly be a good thing for the Great West Empire.
If I give myself a chance to breathe, I can swallow up the West and then have a decisive battle with Great Liang.
They came from the Land of the Far West for money, but compared to the Great Liang Empire, the Great West Empire was practically a beggar. The Land of the Far West had no reason to be targeting them.
With a little guidance, I might be able to persuade them.
Adolf naturally knew his plan, but he still shook his head and said with a wry smile, "This matter is probably not easy. The reason why the people from the Land of the Far West came here is because they were attacked in this sea area and came to retaliate."
Unless their losses are compensated, the situation is unlikely to end well.
It would be ideal if we could coexist peacefully, but the problem is that the Land of the Far West have clearly come here for revenge, so it's not easy to reason with them.
"Attack?"
Upon hearing this, Abaddon was incredulous. How could anyone dare to attack people from the Land of the Far West? They must have a death Baozi.
The enemy is the one who utterly crushed the Black Skull Army; most countries would avoid them like the plague. Yet someone actually dared to provoke them.
If he can defeat his opponent at sea, does that mean he's another maritime overlord?
He exclaimed in shock, "Who is so brave to attack them?"
"Have no idea!"
Adolf gave him a deep look and said in a deep voice, "According to the information I have found, the people of this Land of the Far West have just plundered a continent and thus obtained a great deal of wealth."
However, on their way back, they were robbed by an army that stole all their belongings and even towed away their ships.
They followed the trail and the first thing they encountered was our Great West Empire..."
He didn't say the rest, but everyone understood: the bandits had robbed someone else, and then were robbed by someone else on their way back.
This is absolutely outrageous, it's a complete theft within a theft!
However, a problem arises: the Great West Empire doesn't even have a navy, so who would dare to plunder their Land of the Far West?
"Damn it, we've been made a scapegoat for someone else!"
Abaddon's face turned pale and then green, he looked terrible, and a strong anger was about to erupt from him.
Several towns of their own Great West Empire were plundered, and nearly 200,000 troops were mobilized for a hard-fought battle that lasted four or five days. In the end, they were made the scapegoats.
This is absolutely a completely undeserved disaster.
The Great West Sangdu's brow twitched; his country had suffered such a great injustice—this was simply intolerable.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Who did this? My Great West Empire doesn't even have a navy. How can we plunder the seas? Do you think we can fly?"
And those Land of the Far West, I'm afraid they're not after revenge, but just to plunder our belongings!
With just a little investigation, they could know the situation of the Great West Empire. Why would they possibly come after the Great West Empire? The only possibility is that they want to recoup their losses in the Great West Empire.
"That's right, they're treating us like pushovers!"
"This is outrageous! Do they really think our Great West Empire can be slaughtered by them? This is our territory, not their Land of the Far West!"
The courtiers were furious. Although Sangdu was a rough man, his words, though crude, were not without reason; there was indeed some truth to them.
The attack on the Great West Empire by the Land of the Far West was for no other reason than to plunder wealth and make up for their losses. These scoundrels are utterly despicable.
They looked to Emperor Abaddon; now it was up to His Majesty to decide.
Abaddon frowned. If he could, he would naturally want the other party to pay for their crimes in blood, but he didn't have the luxury of doing so now.
If the Great West Empire wants to rise, it must make compromises in order to achieve a better rise.
He said in a deep voice, "The best course of action now is to advance the formation of the alliance army. Only then will we have a better chance of success. Whether it's the Land of the Far West or the Great Liang, they cannot gain an advantage in the face of absolute strength."
"Once our Western Alliance is formed, this Land of the Far West will be nothing special. If they resist, we'll simply wipe them out."
"As for Great Liang, it will take some time to digest the remaining territory of Zhennan, and there's also the Frostwest Empire on the border. Right now, it should be Bill III's in a hurry!"
To prevent Bill III from favoring the Great Liang and causing uncontrollable situations, the assassination had to be carried out immediately.
Just as Abaddon had expected, the other small countries heard the news and their expressions changed drastically, as if they could almost feel the approach of death.
However, before they could even worry, a terrible enemy began to wreak havoc on their territory.
And that man's name was Xue Rengui!
Other countries can feel the pressure today, let alone the Zhennan, which only has three states left.
"Block them for me!"
Faced with the Great Liang army of Great Liang, the newly enthroned king Nan Yu could no longer sit idly by and hastily mobilized his last remaining troops to resist.
However, his resistance seemed utterly futile against the relentless advance of the Great Liang; the two sides were no longer on the same level.
Faced with this situation, Nan Yu couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, "Father, you are truly a sinner to my Zhennan! Those are over a million people!"
If I still have a million-strong army, what do I have to fear from the people of Great Liang?
Now, facing the enemy's attack, he simply cannot spare many men, resulting in widespread capture, which is truly terrifying.
"Sigh, now we can only take it one step at a time. If all else fails, let's escape overseas!" Zan Rihong suggested, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes as he looked at the furious Nan Yu.
To be honest, the situation was worse than he had thought.
Although he knew his army was trapped by the flood, he still clung to the hope that he could minimize his losses. The result was the loss of over a million soldiers, extinguishing even his last shred of hope.
Zhennan currently has less than 200,000 troops remaining, mostly old, weak, sick, and disabled. It would be extremely difficult for them to hold off Great Liang.
The only way is to escape; as long as you're alive, there's still a chance.
Nan Yu looked at the throne before her, feeling somewhat reluctant to part with it.
He'd only just ascended the throne, and now he wanted to flee immediately? If word got out, it would be incredibly embarrassing, and he'd become a laughingstock.
