"Is this a man-made disaster?"
Upon hearing Zhang Bao's words, everyone's pupils constricted, and a sense of foreboding immediately arose in their hearts.
This involves so many countries at once; this man-made disaster can't be that terrifying, can it? If it is, would Frostwest still be able to survive? They would probably all be wiped out.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but shudder. They looked at Zhang Bao, who was resting with his eyes closed, and asked in trembling voices, "Daoist Master, what exactly happened? Could it be that the man-made disaster in Frostwest involves the Great West Empire and other people?"
The thought of so many countries causing havoc in Frostwest is chilling to their bones; it's simply terrifying.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Bao twitched his fingers a few times, then his expression changed slightly, and he sighed, "Alas, I just calculated that this is because Bill IV is unwilling to accept defeat, so he plans to lure the Great West Empire and the fierce troops across the coast into Frostwest to contain Great Liang."
He originally wanted to reclaim Frostwest, but unfortunately, associating with wolves will never end well. Frostwest will ultimately suffer devastation and become a battleground for the six kingdoms!
Hiss!
These words immediately chilled the hearts of the people of Frostwest, and many elderly people even fainted.
They weren't interested in what Ashina Tiandu, but the key point was that the other side had led the Great West Empire and its fierce army into Frostwest. With the addition of the Great Liang, the Great Han, and the Great Tang, Frostwest was now plunged into a chaotic war between six kingdoms.
"My God, how are we supposed to survive? This is utterly annihilating!"
"What was Ashina Tiandu? Did he really expect a country with a blood feud with Frostwest and a bandit group to help Frostwest? Wasn't that like asking a tiger for its skin?!"
"This guy ran away, fine, but he's still causing trouble. He's basically letting a wolf into the house."
"Both sides have long coveted Frostwest, and now he's offering himself up—this is utterly foolish! He's putting Frostwest in extreme danger!"
"Damn it, we should have stopped them back then. Now we're in big trouble."
The people of Frostwest were all gnashing their teeth, wishing they could tear Ashina Tiandu to pieces. This guy actually brought such a huge threat to Frostwest; where was the spirit of a king?
If Frostwest becomes a battlefield for the six kingdoms to fight each other, the consequences will be unimaginable. The people of Frostwest on the border will probably be wiped out, which is the most terrifying thing.
One of the more dignified elders looked at Zhang Bao and asked, "Daoist Master, this man-made disaster is far too severe. Is there any way to resolve it?"
Why!
Zhang Bao shook his head and said in a deep voice, "This matter cannot be resolved by human effort. Unless you can keep the enemy out of the country, the calamity of Frostwest cannot be avoided."
Once the various forces begin a major war, Frostwest will enter its final countdown...
Keep the enemy out of the country?
The crowd's expressions were somewhat grim. This was undoubtedly an impossible task, even more difficult than ascending to heaven. This was the combined strength of several nations, which Frostwest and Great Liang could not even defeat, let alone with the addition of the Great West Empire and its formidable army.
etc!
Great Liang!
Someone's eyes lit up, and they exclaimed excitedly, "We can't stop these countries, but the Great Liang can! The Great Liang has already subdued the Great Han and Great Tang, which means it controls the Three Kingdoms!"
With his strength, he can surely hold off the Great West Empire and those bandits. Our hope lies in the Great Liang!
Great Liang?
Everyone was stunned at first, then overjoyed.
We've now been incorporated into the Great Liang, so we're people of Great Liang now. Great Liang will definitely protect us, which solves most of this man-made disaster.
If we help Great Liang resolve the issues with the Great West Empire and those bandits, then the man-made disaster problem will be easily solved.
Seeing this, Zhang Bao couldn't help but nod to himself.
Now that the seeds have been sown, all that is needed is for the followers to incite the people and push the people of Frostwest to resist Ashina Tiandu and conform to the rule of Great Liang. Then everything will be resolved.
With his younger brother Zhang Liang's Edification Corps on the surface, as well as the help of the Frostwest War Minister and the Third Prince, this matter will surely be a piece of cake.
The only problem lies with the West!
Zhang Bao looked towards the border of Frostwest and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly. It seems the Great West Empire and the Moses Empire have reached an agreement, which is why they're attacking together!"
You should be grateful that the Great Liang hasn't attacked your Great West Empire. Now that your Great West Empire dares to provoke the Great Liang, you're simply asking for trouble.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer and headed towards the Emperor Emeritus's camp.
"That damned bastard! Who does the Great West Empire think it is, daring to send troops into Frostwest? Well, I'll do as they wish and wipe them out in one fell swoop!"
As soon as they arrived at the courtyard, they heard the Emperor Emeritus roaring inside; clearly, the Emperor Emeritus was angry.
Indeed, Lin Rusong was angry.
He was in a good mood after taking over Frostwest Capital, but this unexpected turn of events has made him rather unhappy; it's such a downer.
His face was dark, and he looked like he wanted to punch the other person to death.
Cough cough!
Wang Ziwen chuckled awkwardly, saying, "Your Majesty, please calm down. After we destroy Frostwest, we'll be dealing with the Great West Empire anyway. This is just a preemptive clash with them; it's nothing serious."
Everyone nodded in agreement. It was perfectly normal for the Great West Empire to stand idly by and watch Frostwest perish, unless someone was completely foolish.
By acting preemptively, they can give Great Liang a legitimate excuse to send troops, which is undoubtedly a worthwhile move.
However, Bai Zizai was sitting to the side, couldn't sit still and whispered, "Your Majesty, how about I lead the Northern Liang Army to attack and wipe out the 800,000-strong army of the Great West Empire?"
At this point, he couldn't help but get a little excited; this was a big job.
Hearing this, Lin Rusong calmed down, shook his head and rejected his idea, saying in a deep voice, "This is not feasible. The only way forward is to annihilate Ashina Tiandu. The Great West Empire is merely a troublemaker."
To put it bluntly, the Great West Empire still held back; otherwise, it wouldn't have sent only 800,000 troops, but rather one or two million.
They've come here merely to protect the Frostwest Empire Frostwest Empire, to use it as a shield; they're not qualified to fight the Great Liang head-on.
Under these circumstances, the priority should be to eliminate this easy prey, rather than half-heartedly pursuing the Great West Empire.
Zhang Bao, standing outside the door, was immediately impressed. The Emperor Emeritus was indeed worthy of being the Prince of Northern Liang; his insight was absolutely first-rate, and he had directly found the key to the matter.
The combined forces of these three parties undoubtedly number over two million, but how much of their strength they can actually exert is anyone's guess.
Instead of getting entangled with them, it's better to concentrate our forces and eliminate one side first.
Once their supporters are eliminated, even a million-strong army from these two countries will be useless, like rootless duckweed, and the Great Liang army will scatter with a single charge.
