Chapter 435: Rebellion is a road of no return

Star Fall Empire, Dai Changwu, who is the Emperor, can be said to have a huge headache now.

Even though he had been on guard against Zhu Yingxiong for a long time, and had been suppressing or replacing Zhu Yingxiong's old subordinates openly and secretly over the years, this day finally came.

Just yesterday, Dai Xiaoyao and Zhu Yingxiong conspired to launch a mutiny, causing more than half of the Star Fall Empire's army to rebel, and now they can already stand on equal footing with him.

Now the south of the Imperial City belongs to Dai Xiaoyao, while the north of the Imperial City is his territory; the entire Star Fall Empire is divided into two.

If it weren't for the fact that he was preparing to secretly catch Dai Xiaoyao to take the blame, he wouldn't have discovered that Dai Xiaoyao actually had the intention to rebel. His younger brother was actually so bold.

Both sides were regular troops, and they fought for a whole night without deciding the winner.

In order to win, Dai Changwu went to the place where the Eternal Day Empire's garrison was located.

Dai Changwu thought: I give you military expenses, and I give you territory, you have to help, right?

"Respected King of the Star Fall Empire, it is not that I don't want to help you, but the order given to us by the Emperor of our Eternal Day Empire is only to garrison the Star Fall Empire and resist the attack of the Heavenly Strategy Dynasty. This is a struggle for political power in your country, and we have no right to interfere."

In front of the commander's desk, the commander of the Eternal Day Empire's garrison shook his head with a smile. Although his attitude was respectful, he never raised his head to look at Dai Changwu from beginning to end.

Help you? Why? With just this little military expense, you want us to sell our lives?

The garrison only had a few thousand people. It was said to be resisting the Heavenly Strategy Dynasty, but in fact, they would certainly withdraw when the Heavenly Strategy Dynasty army came nearby.

Upon hearing this, Dai Wuchang felt a sense of utter despair in his heart. With his current military strength being relatively weak, and these Eternal Day Empire garrison troops refusing to step out, it was only a matter of time before the remaining Star Fall Empire territory in his hands was devoured by Dai Xiaoyao.

Thinking that this commander had previously received countless gold, silver, and cultivation resources from him, Dai Changwu clenched his fists secretly.

He regretted more and more believing in the Eternal Day Empire's big pie; they really just took money and didn't do things.

The garrison commander glanced at Dai Xiaoyao's dejected appearance and pretended to be deep: "Respected King, although we cannot take action, it does not mean that we cannot give you some help. After all, you are a very good friend of mine!"

After the commander finished speaking, he gave a wink to the deputy general waiting on the side.

The deputy general understood and clapped his hands. Soon, two Eternal Day Empire soldiers each carried a set of armor and a long spear embedded with thunder stones and walked in.

The commander made a gesture of invitation to Dai Changwu, indicating that Dai Changwu could come forward to check.

Dai Changwu waved his hand at the ministers standing behind him.

Not long after, a minister came to Dai Changwu's side and reported excitedly: "Your Majesty, it is equipment that is more elite than the standard equipment sold to us before, and it is also embedded with high-quality thunder stones!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Changwu couldn't sit still, stood up abruptly, and walked quickly to the two Eternal Day Empire soldiers carrying the equipment to look at them.

If the Eternal Day Empire sold him usable junk before, then these were enough to be called "powerful" equipment. Of course, this so-called "powerful" was only for the Star Fall Empire.

If he could let the army under his command be equipped with these elite standard equipment of the Eternal Day, I am afraid that the "Little Heavenly Strategy" Bai Fan Kingdom, which has been in the limelight recently, is not impossible to touch, let alone the rebel army of the Star Fall Empire under Dai Xiaoyao!

As the King of the Star Fall Empire, how could he not know what equipment the army under his command had?

Equipment with original stones can significantly improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

War, to put it bluntly, as long as it is not crushing, is a war of attrition. Seeing Dai Changwu's performance, the commander nodded with satisfaction, and then smiled and said: "King of Star Fall, you also know what these equipment represent, right? I am taking the risk of being blamed by our noble Emperor of the Eternal Day Empire to make a claim to sell you these equipment. Others absolutely cannot buy such good things!"

When he learned the news of the civil strife in the Star Fall Empire, the commander was laughing in his heart. The main purpose of the Eternal Day Empire sending them here was to scrape the wealth of the southern kingdoms. Now that the Star Fall Empire is in civil strife, isn't this a good time to sell things at a high price?

The Emperor blames? Even if the current standard equipment is indeed not the standard equipment eliminated by the Eternal Day Empire, but the defective products in the regular army of the Eternal Day Empire, selling them out is good for promotion and wealth!

Facing the "add money" between the lines of the commander, Dai Changwu gritted his teeth and replied without hesitation: "General, don't worry, I will definitely not make it difficult for you!"

Not to mention that the army under his command is fully equipped with these standard equipment of the Eternal Day Empire, even if only one-fifth is equipped, it can crush Dai Xiaoyao's rebel army.

Compared to the precarious throne, what is spending some resources and money?

If this equipment can be obtained, after the civil strife is settled, he will start to swallow the surrounding countries, and he can earn it back ten times or even a hundred times!

Having thought of everything, Dai Changwu immediately ordered ten thousand sets!

It is not that Dai Changwu doesn't want more, but that this garrison commander only has these ten thousand sets left. If there were more, he would definitely pit Dai Changwu.

The news soon reached Dai Xiaoyao's ears. At this moment, Dai Xiaoyao and Zhu Yingxiong were discussing matters in the Imperial Study of the Imperial Palace they had just occupied.

"Uncle, my brother ordered ten thousand sets of elite standard equipment from the Eternal Day Empire. Now a battle letter has been sent, saying that he wants to fight us to the death in the Pingding Slope area outside the city in three days. Can we..."

Dai Xiaoyao stopped halfway and did not continue. The implication was nothing more than wanting Zhu Yingxiong to contact Zhu Zhuying to see if he could get some standard equipment from the Heavenly Strategy Empire.

They sent envoys to contact the Heavenly Strategy Empire when they rebelled, but there was no reply at all, and they didn't care about them at all.

Let you be loyal ministers before, you insisted on taking sides.

Now wanting to prove the so-called loyalty is already out of time. The development of the situation has far exceeded their control. You know, the Bai Fan Kingdom only possessed the ordinary standard equipment of the Heavenly Strategy Empire and crushed the Wu Luo Ya Empire, which was dozens of times larger than them. Dai Changwu, who possessed the elite standard equipment of the Eternal Day Empire, isn't he going to beat them, these rebel troops?

"Your Majesty, according to our envoy, my daughter is not in the Imperial Palace of the Heavenly Strategy Empire. But why don't we contact the Bai Fan Kingdom? The so-called world is bustling for profit. The old minister will take heavy profits to go there and promise to join hands with the Bai Fan Kingdom after the civil strife is settled. They have now eaten half of the territory of the Wu Luo Ya Kingdom, and the Wu Luo Ya Kingdom will certainly call for reinforcements.

At this time, they must also need reinforcements. Even if they cannot send troops to support us, it would be good to sell us some equipment. I heard that they have imported a lot of equipment from Heavenly Strategy." Zhu Yingxiong pondered.

Rebellion is a road of no return. Since it has been done, it can only go to the end.

"I have to trouble Uncle." Dai Xiaoyao felt tasteless and nodded solemnly.

For this kind of thing, he is still a rookie and has to listen to the old general.

Soon, news came back from the Bai Fan Kingdom, not only willing to sign an alliance with Dai Changwu, but also guaranteeing that the weapons and armor of the Heavenly Strategy Empire were still abundant.

They also told the truth. The price certainly cannot be sold at the original price, because those equipment were bought by them with great effort, there is no market for them, and shipping costs and the like also cost money. If Dai Xiaoyao wants to buy, they can give a part to Dai Xiaoyao, and the price will certainly be more expensive, which can be considered quite conscientious.

After all, to form an alliance, sincerity must be shown, and they cannot take the opportunity to blackmail the Star Fall Kingdom.

If they blackmail now, the Star Fall Kingdom will swallow its teeth and swallow them into its stomach, but when the crisis is lifted, it will certainly be very perfunctory in rescue, which is unnecessary.

The King of the Bai Fan Kingdom still learned a lot from the late Emperor of Heavenly Strategy.
