Chapter 594

The place where the Sakura Heavenly King lived was located in the southern suburbs of Kyoto, in a remote mountain area.

When the Shogun arrived with a group of ministers, more than an hour had passed, and night had already slowly fallen.

The two hours Song Qi mentioned were, to a large extent, meant to intimidate Sakura.

No one could expect Sakura to make a decision on something as big as surrender within two hours.

Knock, knock—

The courtyard gate was knocked on.

Soon, a young girl wearing a kimono slowly poked her head out.

"Everyone... the Heavenly King has retired for the night, please return..."

The Shogun lowered his head and said hurriedly.

"Please inform the Heavenly King that the Shogun has brought the ministers to pay a visit, and we hope the Heavenly King will grant us an audience."

The girl took a deep look at the dense crowd in front of her and nodded slowly.

After a long while, she reappeared before them.

"General, ministers, please follow me..."

Having said that, the girl pushed open the wooden door and led everyone into the pavilion. After a series of twists and turns, she finally brought them to their destination.

"Come in..."

The aged voice of the Meiji Heavenly King came from inside.

With the Shogun visiting late at night with a group of ministers, how could the Heavenly King not guess how serious the situation was?

Over the past few days, the Meiji Heavenly King had heard about what was happening in Sakura, even while staying in the mountains.

The Sakura fleet had been completely wiped out.

The Free Nation fleet had been crushed by the Dragon Nation.

The Dragon Nation's army was pressing at the border, and even a few hours ago, they had launched an unknown weapon of extreme power directly above Tokyo.

It could absolutely destroy the entire Sakura Island.

And the Meiji Heavenly King himself had witnessed that moment...

The door was slowly pushed open.

The Shogun led the ministers inside.

The Meiji Heavenly King had long been kneeling at the low table, waiting for a long time.

"Your Majesty the Heavenly King!"

Everyone bowed one after another.

In Sakura, although the Heavenly King's power was far less than before, in reality, he had become the spiritual totem in the hearts of the Sakura people.

His status in the hearts of the Sakura people far exceeded what ordinary people could imagine.

"Everyone, sit..."

The Heavenly King's voice was extremely old. Looking at the serious expressions on everyone's faces, he could vaguely guess something.

The Shogun sat in front of the Heavenly King and spoke.

"Your Majesty! I am guilty!"

"I am a sinner of all of Sakura!"

"Now, the Dragon Nation's army is pressing at the border, the society within Sakura has collapsed, the economy has been shamelessly plundered by the Dragon Nation, the loss of talent is also extremely severe, and the people of the whole country are living in endless panic!"
