Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats suddenly came from outside. The riders were heading straight for the palace, which made everyone's hearts skip a beat.
This is the royal palace. For someone to dare to ride a horse into the palace, something major must have happened; otherwise, they would never dare to do such a thing.
"Report!"
"Urgent report has arrived from the front! An army of 300,000 men from the Land of the Far West was ambushed by a mysterious force before landing in the Great West Empire, and the entire army has been annihilated!"
A messenger came running, looking shocked.
Upon receiving the news, he rushed back without stopping, knowing its importance and the need to relay it immediately.
"What? The reinforcements from the Moses Empire haven't even arrived yet, and they've already been wiped out?"
Upon hearing this, Ashina Tiandu, and he felt terrible.
Looking at the intelligence report in his hand, he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, this so-called overlord of the Land of the Far West is such a waste!"
That's it?
"Does he even deserve to be called a hegemon?"
He hadn't expected that the so-called overlord of the Land of the Far West would be so weak, being annihilated before even entering the mainland.
This is nothing but a joke; it's a complete overlord.
This puts me in a difficult position. Without the support of the Moses Empire, I will be in a very passive position.
"The reinforcements of the Moses Empire have been wiped out?"
"My God, how could this happen? This is like a bolt from the blue!"
"Is Heaven going to destroy my Frostwest?"
Upon hearing this, the courtiers gasped in shock, their faces turning deathly pale. This was absolutely terrible news!
They were hoping for reinforcements from the Moses Empire to relieve their worries, but the Moses Empire was wiped out at sea. Now there was absolutely no hope left.
We're doomed!
For a moment, the courtiers fell silent, their hearts filled with worry.
This moment is undoubtedly the most difficult test for the Frostwest Empire. If they can overcome this hurdle, everything will be fine.
However, if you can't overcome this hurdle, then there will be no hope of redemption.
Now that the Moses Empire has lost its support, and only the Great West Empire is coming, their chances of winning are probably slim.
If it were just the Great Liang, it might be a little better. But now it's not just the Great Liang, there's also the Great Tang and Great Han in between, which is terrifying.
In comparison, Great Liang still has the protection of the Nishu, which can at least provide some buffer.
The key is Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui; they're after the capital Tiele City. If we can't stop them, our lives will be in danger.
This crisis is a hellish situation; the empire may face the greatest crisis in its history, and may even perish.
Many officials immediately began to think things through, realizing they needed to prepare early in order to survive the turmoil.
If you follow Frostwest down this dark path, you'll probably end up dying along with her.
Seeing the silence below, Ashina Tiandu's face turned extremely grim; many of these people were probably already having second thoughts.
However, this situation cannot be salvaged with just a few words; a real trump card is needed.
"Your Majesty, what do we do now? Without the help of the Moses Empire, the pressure on us has increased exponentially!" Kubo said with a worried expression, his face grim.
He's starting to miss his old partner Aksu. Aksu used to be the one holding things up, but now that Aksu has surrendered, he feels like his future is bleak.
Moreover, the current situation is really quite bad.
They had originally hoped that the other side would betray Huo Qubing, relieve the crisis in the capital, and then take the opportunity to launch a joint attack on Great Liang.
The opponent was wiped out before they even made a move; that's really embarrassing.
Not only did it fail to restrain Huo Qubing, but it also perished itself. Now, all the pressure is on Frostwest.
In this situation, it's incredibly difficult; you could easily be crushed to pieces.
Ashina Tiandu, a hint of murderous intent flashing across his face, but he quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice, "Since the Moses Empire can't make it in time, we'll have to ask the Great West Empire to lend a hand."
I personally wrote a letter to Abaddon, informing him of the current situation and that he must stop Huo Qubing for me.
Once my Frostwest is destroyed, his Great West will also suffer, so he has to come!
Furthermore, the Moses Empire, having suffered a severe blow, will naturally not be willing to give up and will soon make a comeback. So, we just need to hold on for a while!
As long as we persevere, future victory will belong to us!!!
At this point, everyone else can panic, but he absolutely cannot panic, or it will be all over.
Forehead!
Is it that simple?
Upon hearing his words, the courtiers were not as convinced as before; instead, they were filled with panic, feeling as if a great calamity was about to befall them.
They didn't even care who had destroyed Moses Empire's army; their hearts were filled with deep worry.
Without the army of the Moses Empire, how could they possibly hold off these three armies? This was a colossal problem.
The group exchanged glances, all seeing the worry in each other's eyes, and couldn't help but sigh.
This is a big problem.
Although the emperor spoke with such certainty, the facts were real and could not be resolved simply by talking.
Even if the Great West Empire were to send reinforcements, they probably wouldn't fully support Frostwest. They themselves are facing imminent disaster; they can't afford to wait that long.
They didn't dare to refute it, but they had their own thoughts.
With their hearts full of worries, they left the palace and went off to discuss their plans in small groups.
On the throne!
As Ashina Tiandu watched the departing officials, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, " Zela, send men to keep an eye on them."
Any unusual behavior? Kill them on sight! Show no mercy!
ah?
Zela was dumbfounded; she hadn't expected the Emperor to issue such an order—it was simply insane.
If any of these people encounter problems, the empire may face a situation where there is no one available, which would be an absolute nightmare.
Ashina Tiandu and said in a deep voice, "If these people want to pledge allegiance to Great Liang, then my head will be their pledge of allegiance."
If I don't strike first, I'll only suffer a worse fate.
Rather than die, I would rather annihilate them completely and then fight a decisive battle with the Great Liang!
He would rather die at the hands of the Great Liang than at the hands of his own people.
If these people wanted to please Great Liang, they would have to torment themselves in every way possible to win Lin Yi's favor.
But if I did that, I would be in unbearable pain.
Rather than waiting for them to make a move, it's better to take action ourselves and eliminate them first.
I would rather betray the All Under Heaven than let the All Under Heaven betray me.
"Gulp!"
Zela swallowed hard, startled by his master's murderous aura, and solemnly replied, "Understood, I will send men to keep an eye on them immediately!"
He sighed inwardly, and couldn't help but become more cautious; he also needed to prepare a way out for himself as soon as possible.
