Chapter 934: Betrayed by All! The Final Blade!

Sovereign Jiazi's confidante Danmu Baihui bowed and said, "Sovereign, I know this isn't your fault!"

Sovereign Jiazi retorted, "But what's the use of you knowing?"

Danmu Baihui fell silent.

She knew that the other people of this island nation were unaware.

The decisions of the high-ranking military command were generally known only to a very few.

"Right!" Sovereign Jiazi suddenly asked, "Can we tell them that none of this was my doing?"

Danmu Baihui said dejectedly, "With our strength, I'm afraid there's no way!"

"Why? Just explain it to them clearly! The decision to attack the Huaxia Federation was proposed and passed by Hetian and Xiaodao; I cast an abstention at the time! Entering the deep sea zone was General Zao Tian's decision, not mine!"

Sovereign Jiazi had already lost her composure.

Truth be told, she truly could not accept it.

This matter struck her far too hard a blow!

She had clearly done nothing, yet a great big black pot had been slammed down on her head.

"I'm afraid that won't work!"

"Why?"

"The matter was spread by General Zao Tian and the others!" Danmu Baihui took a deep breath, trying hard to steady herself. "All four generals took part, as well as the families of Xiaodao and Hetian, and the other major families of the island nation... they all took part!"

Sovereign Jiazi collapsed onto the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"I knew it, I knew it, I should have guessed it long ago — the decision on the deep sea zone was proposed by Zao Tian, and he definitely took part in this incident!"

"Sovereign Jiazi, they definitely want to hand you over and push every charge onto you!"

"I understand!"

"With our strength, we're simply no match for them!" Danmu Baihui said in a low voice. "Moreover, some of my own subordinates have already begun to defect to their side!"

Sovereign Jiazi was already in despair.

She understood that, with her current strength, when the several major families of the island nation joined forces to sling mud at her, there was no way she could ever clear her name!

Even if she produced solid evidence, it would be useless!

Betrayed by several major powers of the island nation at once, and slandered by several major powers at once, she had almost no chance of turning things around!

The taste of this betrayal cut her heart like a blade!

She even began to doubt herself!

To doubt her own faith and dreams!

To doubt whether her own sacrifices and efforts were still worthwhile!

When a strong person begins to doubt their own faith and perseverance, they begin to slide toward the abyss!

Under the instigation of the several major families, and with Su Yang secretly stoking the flames from behind the scenes using the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly, protest demonstrations sprang up on the large and small islands of the island nation.

Many beast tamers and commoners gathered at the rally site, denouncing Sovereign Jiazi's various wrong decisions that had pushed the nation to the brink of destruction.

Some island lords, also instigated by the several major families, began to sling mud at Sovereign Jiazi.

These island lords held extremely high prestige on their respective islands; their words almost carried the weight of authority.

Many island-nation commoners and ordinary beast tamers who did not know the truth joined the anti-Jiazi camp!

They all believed it was Sovereign Jiazi's wrong decisions that caused countless beast tamers of their island nation to perish in battle, countless commoners to be implicated, and to be buried in the sea.

They believed that only by handing Sovereign Jiazi over could they obtain peace!

"Criminal Jiazi, get out of the island nation!"

"Criminal Jiazi, get out of the island nation!"

"..."

On the morning of the third day after the island nation suffered heavy injuries again, countless residents of the island nation's capital gathered on the streets near the imperial palace, holding up slogans demanding that Jiazi be driven out of the capital, and began to surge toward the imperial palace.

Along the way, more and more commoners and beast tamers gathered together, joined by people from other islands, and then flowed together with the crowd toward the island nation's capital.

Even ants cling to life.

The commoners of the island nation did not wish to die.
