Cataclysm Era 562.
The all-out war between the Sun Never Sets Empire and the Great Xia Empire came to an abrupt end.
Hundreds of thousands of troops retreated hundreds of nautical miles away and quietly withdrew from the South China Sea of Daxia.
The sudden withdrawal shocked all major forces around the world.
This also caused some of the young people around the Daxia Empire who were ready to take action to stop the temptation. They put away their mentality of picking up bargains and no longer dared to covet the Daxia Empire.
at the same time--
The battlefield above Longdu also underwent drastic changes.
Hasen, who was originally confronting Hu Kui and Sima Nanqin, suddenly froze in mid-air.
Not only did he stop attacking the fortress city, but his whole body was like a machine that had lost its energy supply. After condensing his breath, he suddenly fell from the sky.
Unbiased, he just happened to fall into the center of Longdu——
At the same time, the citizens who had been buried with gene seeds by Zhao Tianyi died violently one after another.
All of a sudden.
The entire fortress city suddenly fell into chaos. Although most of the crises were relieved in an instant, the sudden changes still made many people feel timid.
Good thing.
With Hu Kui presiding over the overall situation in the city, and the National Night Watchmen from the War Preparedness Department dispatched to maintain public order, the normal social order in Longdu did not collapse overnight.
It's noon.
Located in the dock area on the South China Sea border of Yangcheng, the coastal defense line that stretches for more than several kilometers is still impregnable.
Although the army of the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets" has retreated, the defenders on the border of Daxia still dare not take it lightly, and have always adhered to their defense without any slack.
"So, the other party has submitted formal diplomatic documents?"
In the temporary tent at the port, Xue Yun and the backbone of Yangcheng had already gathered together.
Facing the inquiry from the Great Xia God of War.
In the holographic communication projection in mid-air, Emperor Xuanyuan Gong of Great Xia smiled bitterly, appearing a little reserved.
"Well, that's what happened."
Shrugging his shoulders.
Xuanyuan Gong said helplessly: "It is not so much a diplomatic document, but a formal letter of apology. The general meaning is that their God Emperor and cabinet government have been controlled by foreign forces, and it is not their fault to start a war with our Daxia." original intention."
He pondered for a moment.
Xuanyuan Gong smiled bitterly and said: "In short, I just want to emphasize that this conflict is a huge misunderstanding. I hope the Daxia Empire will not have any grudges."
Hear the words.
Everyone in the camp was speechless for a while, with some angry expressions on their faces.
"Damn it, did they say it was a misunderstanding?"
"That's right, if the Duke of Zhen hadn't come forward, these bastards would have invaded our country long ago!"
"In short, we must let them compensate us for our losses!"
"We can't just let this matter go, otherwise, where will our Great Xia Empire's face be in the future?!"
For a moment——
The National Night Watchmen present were very excited and wished they could immediately send troops to fight back all the way.
In fact it is.
The Sun Never Sets Empire mobilized its entire country and dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops across the ocean to attack.
Now, he wants to put it off with a simple "misunderstanding".
No matter who it is, it probably won't end so easily.
"Shut up, everyone!"
Suddenly.
Black Pearl, who had been silent all this time, suddenly scolded, and the night watchmen in Yangcheng immediately fell into silence, not daring to make even a single sound.
Now that the Iron Lady is not in the city, as a close disciple of Sima Nanqin, Tana almost has a decisive say in Yangcheng.
As soon as she opened her mouth, those national night watchmen who were making noises dared to continue to act arrogantly.
"Your Majesty and the Duke are here, when will it be your turn to make the decision?!"
All the backbones of Yangcheng looked at each other and had no choice but to bow their heads and remain silent.
To be fair——
The so-called Emperor of Daxia is not convincing at all. Everyone knows that Xuanyuan Gong is just a mascot in name only.
But Xue Yun is different.
With his identity as the God of War and Duke of the Kingdom of Great Xia, no one in the world or the city lords of the major princes and cities dared to deny him face. He didn't even speak, so others naturally didn't dare to say anything.
"Everyone calm down first..."
The scene was a little embarrassing.
Xue Yun drooped his eyelids and quickly spoke to comfort: "I can understand everyone's mood, but diplomacy between countries is by no means something that can be summed up in simple right and wrong and grudges."
There was a pause.
Xue Yun continued helplessly: "At least judging from the current international situation, we cannot completely break up with the 'Empire on which the Sun Never Sets'."
"A small leak will sink a great ship......"
Narrow your eyes.
Xue Yun emphasized: "For the overall interests of the Daxia Empire and the long-term stability of the domestic situation, it is the wisest decision to temporarily choose to deal with the disputes between the two countries coldly."
After decades of ups and downs, Xue Yun is no longer the impulsive boy he once was.
Temporary radicalization will only complicate the problem.
Especially before we are fully sure, it will not be beneficial to everyone to stir up trouble again.
"Well......"
in the communication screen.
Xuanyuan Gong hesitated for a long time, and then took the initiative to ask: "Then according to what Duke Zhen sees, how should we respond to the 'Sun Never Sets Empire'?"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone looked at Xue Yun in the field, with different expressions but also full of inexplicable expectations.
"No need to respond."
Smile slightly.
Xue Yun's eyes were deep and he said bluntly: "This world is actually very realistic. If we don't have the strength ourselves, no matter how beautiful we say, others will not look down upon us."
Hit the nail on the head.
Everyone couldn't help but froze on the spot.
Soon, several key figures in Yangcheng, including Black Pearl, immediately understood what Xue Yun meant.
"Weak country, no diplomacy..."
He glanced at the crowd.
Xue Yun sighed lightly, shook his head and said: "For the same reason, a strong country does not need to negotiate with others at all."
"We will not cooperate with anything that goes against Daxia's fundamental interests. We will not nod or refuse, but that does not mean we really choose to forgive..."
He raised his eyebrows and fiddled with the tea on the table.
Xue Yun continued softly: "Sometimes, appropriate silence can actually make the other person feel more frightened."
Silent anger is like a volcano ready to erupt at any time.
If you ignore it, it will make the other party feel even more scared, and they will not dare to take another step beyond the boundaries easily!
Although it is known that the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets" is controlled by the old monster Nakayama Takena, the greed and cunning of the other party must also be naked facts.
Non-my family, its heart must be different.
no doubt.
As long as there is more than 80% confidence and possibility, these bastards from the "Sun Never Sets Empire" will definitely invade Daxia without hesitation.
This is almost an ironclad fact!
