Chapter 600: The Army Is Approaching and the City Is at the Gate
"Zhang Xing is here? Yes, he will come sooner or later. Where has he fought?"
Gebrai said weakly.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Xing has already reached the city and has reached Kodenburg. It will take half an hour to reach there."
Although Spark tried his best to remain calm, he could still hear the fear in his heart from the trembling voice.
"What?"
With a clang, Gebrai jumped up from the dragon chair.
"Say it again, where has Zhang Xing fought?"
"Your Majesty, Zhang Xing is still half an hour away from Kodenburg. He is coming!"
"No! Impossible!"
Gebrai's eyes widened and his breathing became rapid: "He can't have conquered Thunder Castle, Boulder Castle, and Thorn City in one day and one night!"
"Your Majesty, Zhang Xing did not attack these three cities. They all... surrendered!"
Spark said with a look of great pain.
"What? Surrendered?"
With a plop, Gebrai was shocked by the news and sat down again.
After a moment, he suddenly raised his head: "Where are the other reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements from other allied countries?"
"Your Majesty...they...they, hey!"
"Tell me quickly, did they send troops?"
Gebrey already knew the reason why Spark couldn't say it, but he still wanted to hear the news he didn't want to hear.
"No, they just agreed verbally, but didn't take any action!"
Spark gritted his teeth and said angrily.
"Damn it! As soon as they heard that Wanwu Kingdom was going to be divided, they rushed to send troops, but now they are scared and hide when they see that the situation is not good."
"After this matter is over, I must settle accounts with them one by one!"
Gebrey waved his fist and complained viciously.
"Your Majesty, we are not ready yet. Two days is too hasty...what should we do now?"
Spark knelt on one knee and stared at Gebrey.
Gebrey was still in anger. Hearing this, he suddenly realized that yes, now is not the time to get angry. The most important thing at the moment is how to deal with Zhang Xing.
He took his hand back, took a deep breath, and looked at Grand Duke Wendren.
The old minister hit the mark again. He had seen the whole war very thoroughly and knew the pros and cons.
But he did not listen to the old minister's advice, not twice.
Having made two wrong decisions, can he make a third one?
Should he listen to Grand Duke Wendren's advice this time?
The emperor didn't know, so he asked, "What does the Grand Duke think?"
"Your Majesty, we will lose if we fight, and the result is that you must stand up and take all the responsibility."
"We can ask for peace, but Zhang Xing may punish us according to the regulations of the defeated country, or the regulations he thinks of at random."
"And we have no choice, no chance to negotiate, so we can only agree."
"Afterwards, Zhang Xing will definitely ignore us, but the Newco Empire will definitely fall from the first country to the third rate, even worse than the current status of Wanwu Kingdom."
Gebre understood Wendren's meaning as soon as he heard it, but he couldn't accept it or adopt it.
If he had listened to his advice the first two times, maybe it wouldn't have been so serious, but it's different now.
The emperor has to stand up and take all the responsibility. This is asking him to die to apologize!
Who can accept such a condition? Anyway, it's all death, the worst thing is to fight.
This is the greedy and selfish gene of the Gebre family. Everything is centered on me. As long as it is beneficial to me, I can do it, no matter what others do.
"I would rather die in battle than beg for mercy from Zhang Xing! Never!"
After saying this, Emperor Gebre left, and the emperor's stubborn words echoed in everyone's ears for a long time.
