Chapter 428

The King of Tasha figured that the King of Baifan had been enduring and secretly training his army, constantly strengthening his military power, and had long wanted to fight the Uroya Empire but could never find the opportunity.

Since the Uroya Empire delivered themselves to his doorstep, how could they be polite?

Originally, the Uroya Empire just wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkey and intimidate the southern states.

As a result, they are now on the verge of national destruction.

The Uroya Empire is now defending its capital and seeking help from surrounding allies.

Among those who received the request for help was the Star Fall Kingdom, because there are Eternal Day Empire troops stationed within the Star Fall Kingdom.

In just a few short days, the Uroya Empire lost one-third of its territory, which has already caused many surrounding countries to waver.

Especially those countries that imported military gear from the Eternal Day Empire, all of whom are wondering if they were scammed.

But the Eternal Day Empire is a superpower; even if they were scammed, they can only think about it inwardly and dare not speak out.

They clearly ate shit, yet they still have to praise how good it tastes.

"Your Majesty, should we still send troops?" the Grand General of Tasha asked.

"No need. Since the Baifan Kingdom didn't ask for help, it means they want to swallow Uroya themselves. Now that they've eaten so much, they probably can't digest it all at once and will have to slowly nibble away at it, fighting a war of attrition. There's no need for us to intervene at this time, especially since the May Tian Ce army is right nearby."

The King of Tasha felt it was a pity; if he had known, he would have gone to assist as soon as the fighting started to gain some credit.

Now, trying to get a piece of the action would be thankless.

If they don't want to share with you, it's a bit excessive to go and ask.

The victory of the Baifan Kingdom also made the King of Tasha more determined to hold tight to the May Tian Ce Dynasty's leg.

However, wanting to import military gear from May Tian Ce isn't just about having money; if you aren't loyal, you'll get very little.

After all, there are so many countries in the May Tian Ce Dynasty's camp; who doesn't want it?

Especially since the Baifan Kingdom won a complete victory this time, more kings will see it, and who wouldn't want to use the May Tian Ce Dynasty's army to do something big?

By then, the May Tian Ce Dynasty's military gear will be even more sought after, and they will have even more followers.

However, there is one point the civil officials of Tasha don't understand: the chessboard of this game is very large, so why is the Eternal Day Empire letting its allies suffer so much?

The King of Tasha gave a disdainful smile and explained: "The core of the Eternal Day Empire is just to make money. They don't care about you that much. As long as the fighting doesn't reach their doorstep, they won't get serious. Back then, their envoy even drew a pie for me, saying that as long as I intercepted the May Tian Ce Dynasty's army, they would provide us with free support.

At the time, I knew that their so-called support was definitely just garrison troops from surrounding small countries. They would surely send some commanders over to let us fight the May Tian Ce Dynasty to the death, just to consume the May Tian Ce Dynasty."

The King of Tasha is no fool. After all, he is so close to the May Tian Ce Dynasty and has been beaten before, so he truly knows the power of the May Tian Ce Dynasty and decisively refused.

Next, it was certainly the civil officials' turn to flatter the King of Tasha.

On the other side, the Star Fall Empire.

As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad.

In the Zhu family's living room, Dai Xiaoyao paced back and forth, waiting for Zhu Yingxiong.

"Prince, I know you are very anxious, but this matter also requires waiting for my daughter's reply, wouldn't you say?"

Zhu Yingxiong said in a measured tone. He had promised to help Dai Xiaoyao contact the May Tian Ce Dynasty, but the May Tian Ce Dynasty is not something a small character like him can contact just because he wants to.

Don't look at Zhu Yingxiong as the Grand General who is below only one person in this country; he still isn't qualified to curry favor with Li Chen.

Just as the King of Tasha said, he barely has the qualifications to curry favor with Li Chen; others truly aren't qualified. Zhu Yingxiong cannot control what the Emperor Dai Wuchang does.

To put it bluntly, the Zhu family is a relative of the May Tian Ce Empire's imperial family anyway. Even if the May Tian Ce Empire really sent troops to conquer Star Fall, his Zhu family would be safe and sound, and might even rise in status due to the arrival of the May Tian Ce Empire's army.

Zhu Yingxiong is truly not panicked, all because his daughter entered the palace.

At this moment, he is also thinking that it's fortunate his daughter didn't marry this kid Dai Xiaoyao, otherwise, she would be an ant on a hot pan right now.

"Uncle, I came here indeed for the previous matter, but there is something even more important." Dai Xiaoyao took a deep breath, then continued as if afraid that Zhu Yingxiong would drive him away:

"I believe you are already aware of the war between the Baifan Kingdom and the Uroya Empire. Three days, in just three short days, the Baifan Kingdom, relying solely on tens of thousands of iron cavalry equipped with May Tian Ce Empire standard gear, fought their way to the gates of the Uroya royal capital!"

At the end of his speech, Dai Xiaoyao took a deep breath, looked into Zhu Yingxiong's cloudy yet still dignified and solemn eyes, and gritted his teeth: "Uncle, how do you think my Star Fall Empire compares to the Uroya Empire?"

"If there were no Eternal Day Empire garrison troops, then it would certainly be far inferior." Zhu Yingxiong replied lightly without even thinking.

Whether in terms of population or land area, the Star Fall Empire is considered decent among the southern states, but it is still a bit weaker than the Uroya Empire.

Now, the Baifan Kingdom can easily beat the Uroya Empire, and they have also offended the May Tian Ce Empire; how can they fight? Isn't that just courting death?

Dai Xiaoyao also studied in the May Tian Ce Dynasty before and certainly knows the power of the May Tian Ce Dynasty.

Zhu Yingxiong saw Dai Xiaoyao's anxious look and asked casually: "Tell me your thoughts?"

"So... Uncle, help me rebel!" Dai Xiaoyao gritted his teeth.

If it were in the past, he would absolutely not want to compete for the throne with his elder brother Dai Wuchang.

Not only because of their brotherly bond, but also because he had no interest in the throne and only wanted to pursue the immortal path that cultivators yearn for.

But things are different now; his cultivation path has encountered obstacles.

Only after going to the May Tian Ce Dynasty did he realize that his talent wasn't as heaven-defying as he had imagined.

So, returning to his country, he became a Prince and also began to take on some heavy responsibilities.

If Dai Wuchang continues to 'act unreasonably', there is no need to wait for the May Tian Ce Empire's three hundred thousand iron cavalry; any random vassal state of the May Tian Ce Empire could make the Star Fall Empire vanish into thin air.

Take the Tasha Kingdom for example; it is said that their King has already reorganized his army. God knows who they want to fight, but the probability of them fighting them is very high.

Most countries are wavering, but the Star Fall Kingdom has the label of 'rebel' stuck on it, and those countries that want to be loyal subjects of the May Tian Ce Dynasty will definitely want to fight them.

When that time comes, are you still counting on those few garrison troops from the Eternal Day Empire to help?

According to rumors—that is, from those who serve the Eternal Day Empire's garrison—it is said that the Eternal Day Empire's garrison has already received orders: if the May Tian Ce Dynasty really attacks, they will definitely be the first to withdraw.

That is the nature of this game; the May Tian Ce Dynasty's army only advances one thousand meters every day, and no one knows what they are going to do.

The Eternal Day Empire has garrison troops in many countries, but they haven't taken action either; who knows if they will fight.

"Does the Prince know what he is saying?" Zhu Yingxiong looked at Dai Xiaoyao with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

The older generation of ministers, especially the military generals, actually hoped that Dai Xiaoyao would inherit the throne back then, but at the time, Dai Xiaoyao had no interest in the court and only wanted to cultivate.

"I beg Uncle to help me!" Dai Xiaoyao's knees went soft, and he knelt directly in front of Zhu Yingxiong.

This time, Dai Xiaoyao only wants to save his country.
