Great Jade River is far too important; nothing can be allowed to happen here.
If the enemy outnumbers us too much, our 200,000 troops might not be able to hold out. So, if necessary, we should request reinforcements to ensure we are absolutely safe!
Hearing his words, Akeshang pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Since the other side is attacking so frantically, they must have something in mind, which is quite dangerous."
To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, let's light the signal fire and summon reinforcements!
With the enemy launching such a frenzied attack, he would inevitably suffer heavy losses if he tried to withstand it alone, which was not a situation he wanted to see.
There's no need to send your personal guards to fight the enemy to the death; it's more reliable to fight together, at least someone can share the pressure.
This area is a defensive zone; any action here will have far-reaching consequences, and no one can remain uninvolved.
"I understand!"
The confidant immediately understood: their young master was worried about taking too much damage himself, so he called for someone else to take the hits.
Although it was somewhat shameless, it was still beneficial to them, so they hurriedly went to light the beacon fire and summon the surrounding guards.
Here, as part of the northwestern defense system, lighting beacon fires was a way of sending a message to the enemy.
The smoke from the beacon towers soar into the sky. Beacon points are set up at regular intervals, so once lit, it creates a chain reaction that will be visible to friendly forces at the furthest distance.
In this way, they will be able to come to the rescue immediately.
Soon, the smoke column rose, instantly enlivening the entire Frostwest, with everyone looking towards the direction of the Great Jade River.
"Signal of war in the Northwest! Something's happened in the Great Jade River!"
"Damn it, those thugs are here again. They really don't seem to mind the trouble."
"Prepare to provide support; that's the eldest young master!"
"If something happens to him, we'll all be in deep trouble."
In an instant, several garrison posts in the surrounding area began to move, rushing towards the Great Jade River. As long as this passage was blocked, everything inside would be safe.
Even if they were unwilling, they had to come now, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable if the higher-ups were angered.
at the same time!
At this moment, Sang Mo's deputy envoy traveled day and night and finally returned to the capital Tiele City.
He brought back the latest news from Xue Rengui, and also needed to ensure that Frostwest was adequately prepared. As for Sang Mo, he was still in the Great Tang, doing his best to befriend Xue Rengui.
In the royal palace, the deputy envoy recounted his experiences, drawing everyone's attention.
This matter concerns the very foundation of the nation!
Upon hearing that Xue Rengui was deliberately stalling for time, the courtiers were filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could challenge Xue Rengui to a duel. However, upon learning that Xue Rengui had no intention of being an enemy, they breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when he mentioned the Great Han, all the officials couldn't help but shrink their pupils, and even Ashina Tiandu couldn't sit still.
He abruptly stood up from his throne, exclaiming, "What? Another Great Han has appeared in the north, and they're also going south to attack my Frostwest?"
At that moment, Ashina Tiandu really wanted to curse!
And it was a furious spray!
What the hell did I do to deserve this? Everyone's attacking me! This is outrageous!
First, it was that bastard Great West Empire that came to attack every day, then the Black Skull Army set its sights on us and beat us up too. Later, Great Liang came, and then Xue Rengui from the Great Tang also came.
That's bad enough, but now a Great Han has suddenly jumped out from the corner. It feels like the whole world is against me.
So the question is, where did this Great Han come from, and how did he suddenly appear?
The courtiers were in an uproar, clearly shocked by the news, and began to discuss the pros and cons.
"What Great Han?"
"A nation I've never heard of before, actually wiped out the Black Skull Army. Their strength is truly extraordinary."
"Yes, these are truly turbulent times!"
"First the Great Tang, then the Great Han, let's hope there's no more Great Ming, or we'll be completely finished. Frostwest can't afford to keep getting sidetracked like this."
"Shut up, you jinx!"
The courtiers were also unsettled. The Frostwest Empire was already under enough pressure, and now a Great Han had arrived, pushing the pressure to its limit.
They simply couldn't understand why the whole world was targeting Frostwest. Was it because they hadn't chosen a good name?
Previously, they were planning to unite with those small countries to attack the Great Liang, but now they feel like they are the most disliked one, and everyone is shouting to kill them.
This is such a huge contrast, it's really unacceptable.
Ashina Tiandu and said in a deep voice, "What exactly is the situation with this Great Han? Didn't Sang Mo ask any questions?"
"Your Majesty, the envoy also questioned Xue Rengui, but the other side doesn't know much either, only that they are concentrating their forces to defend against the enemy. However, the Great Han is now heading straight south, and its purpose is probably..." The deputy envoy's eyes flashed with a bitter look as he whispered.
The ministers' faces immediately turned grim.
So, the Great Han really came for me? What the hell gives him the right?
Ashley couldn't sit still any longer!
I originally planned to be a couch potato for a while, but if things continued like this, Frostwest would probably be finished, so I stepped forward.
He solemnly declared, "Your Majesty, our most urgent task is to contact the Great Han and ascertain their stance. We must not allow them to truly attack us, or the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"That's right. If this happens, it will inevitably attract other countries to flock to it and attack it together!" Aksu said with a solemn expression.
In such a situation, once someone takes the lead, others will naturally think that the Frostwest Empire is easy to bully and will directly target the Frostwest Empire.
Just as the smell of blood in the sea will attract fish from all around, they will tear apart the wounded prey.
The first to be affected would undoubtedly be the Great West Empire and the Great Tang.
Originally, the Great West Empire was worried about the threat from the Great Liang, so it was forced to unite with the Frostwest. But now that there is a Great Han and a Great Tang, it's a completely different story.
It's possible that the Great West Empire might make a comeback.
Ashina Tiandu. If things really came to that, the Frostwest Empire would truly be finished.
He couldn't accept it; why was it always me who got hurt?
He clearly had lofty ambitions and could lead the Frostwest Empire to new heights, so why is he now experiencing failures everywhere and feeling like he's surrounded by enemies?
Just as he was about to speak, the deputy envoy suddenly spoke up.
He exclaimed in shock, "That's right! Xue Rengui seemed to have said that both the Great Tang and Great Han came from the Land of the Far West, and that they came with the people who attacked the Great West Empire last time!"
"What?"
These words were like a nuclear bomb, instantly silencing the entire palace and sending a chill down everyone's spine.
