Chapter 280.2
A Grandmasters strength was comparable to gods and demons, capable of facing thousands of troops, destroying nations and cities, and posing a great threat to any country. Even an Empire had to show them respect.
Therefore, a country with a Grandmaster would not be easily conquered.
But now, its been only half a month since Great Xia marched their troops again, and the Great Yan Dynasty is already on the brink of collapse This
Are you trying to make a fool of me? The national power of Great Yan isnt weak, and they have a Grandmaster. How could they be so easily conquered? The Great Liang Emperor couldnt believe it
Your Majesty, its absolutely true! The situation is like this
The soldier reported in detail the circumstances of both nations.
After hearing the report, the Great Liang Emperor was still shocked and urgently asked, What about Great Yans Grandmaster Murong Qiushui? The nation has been conquered. Why didnt he take action?
Reporting to Your Majesty, since the beginning of the great battle, there has been no sight of Murong Qiushui! Rumors say he is in closed-door cultivation, not to be disturbed by outsiders. But we cannot ascertain whether this is true or not. Please forgive us, Your Majesty!
You step down for now! The Great Liang Emperor waved his hand weakly.
Sweat beaded on his forehead as his expression fluctuated uncertainly.
Originally, he had hoped to let Great Yan take the brunt of the conflict while he stayed behind to reap the benefits.
However, Great Yan turned out to be unreliable. A huge dynasty fell in less than half a month? Useless!
Now, it was Great Liang who had to face the forefront.
So, what he needed to consider now was how to deal with the iron cavalry of Great Xia.
He had a premonition that the battle would surely break out before the end of the year.
Just then, a towering figure burst in.
Your Majesty, I have just heard that Great Yan Dynasty has been annihilated by Great Xia?
The Great Liang Emperor nodded with a bitter smile: Thats right, Great Yan has indeed fallen to Great Xia! It happened in less than half a month, so swiftly that we were completely unprepared!
Indeed! The Great Liang Grandmaster nodded in agreement.
After all, Great Yan was a dynasty with vast territories spanning over 2 million square kilometers.
Even if one were to travel from the north to the south, it would take half a month.
If there were any storms or delays, it would take even longer.
Yet, Great Xia had conquered such a nation within half a month, which was unbelievable.
It seems they werent here to wage war, but to take over the land.
Great Yan is too incompetent!
The Great Liang Grandmaster cursed: Fighting on their own soil, with the advantages of time, geography, and people, and yet they still lost to Great Xia? Where was Murong Qiushui? What was he doing?
The Great Liang Emperor replied with a wry smile: Seniopr, you may not be aware, but Murong Qiushui never appeared during the war between the two nations! Rumors say he is in closed-door cultivation, but we do not know the actual situation!
No matter what, Great Yan is finished! Even if Murong Qiushui returns, there is no turning back the tide! However, after Great Yan, its Great Liangs turn! We must be wary of Great Xias wild ambitions! The Great Liang Grandmaster expressed his concern.
The Seniors words are very true. I am also worried about this matter! The Great Liang Emperor frowned with concern.
The Great Liang Grandmaster thought seriously for a moment, his eyes sharpening: Your Majesty, we cannot sit idly by!
Senior, do you have any suggestions? The Great Liang Emperor looked at him.
The Great Liang Grandmaster whispered: Great Xia has just annexed Great Yan, and the situation is unstable! I plan to take action personally to slay their generals and Innates! In doing so, wouldnt we avert the crisis?
Thats a good idea, but by doing so, we would provoke Great Xia, Im afraid
Your Majesty worries too much. I can disguise myself, so they wont recognize me! Why not pretend to be Great Yans Grandmaster Murong Qiushui and strike using his identity? Since hes in closed-door cultivation, its the perfect opportunity to borrow his identity! In this way, we can divert the disaster eastward, and well have averted our nations disaster. Wouldnt that be wonderful? The Great Liang Grandmaster said proudly.
Very well Its a good plan. I will trouble Senior to make this trip! The Great Liang Emperor was overjoyed.
Your Majesty, wait for my good news. Ill be back soon! The Great Liang Grandmaster turned and left.
Just then, as the Great Liang Emperor watched the Grandmasters departing figure, a sudden unease surged in his heart, a bad premonition.
Wait a minute, maybe the previous Great Hong and Great Yan also think this way?
Seeing Great Xias forces closing in step by step, and without the power to fight back, they could only ask their Grandmaster to take action.
Then, all the Grandmasters disappeared without a trace.
Even after the nations were destroyed, they didnt show up.
A terrifying thought began to emerge in the heart of the Great Liang Emperor.
Could it be that those two Grandmasters are dead?
Killed by the hands of Great Xia?
Thats why Great Xia dared to raise an army and was able to smoothly annex Great Hong and Great Yan.
This idea was terrifying!
Although it seems unlikely and not realistic, theres always a what if!
Watching the back of the Great Liang Grandmaster as he left, with ominous shadows looming behind him as if he were stepping into the gates of hell, the Great Liang Emperor anxiously shouted, Senior, wait, lets think this through more carefully!
