Chapter 547: Chapter 512: What else can I say? Whatever I say is wrong_2
The background of these weapons’ appearance is within the borders of the Land of Light.
Moreover, the national emblems have been deliberately scraped off...
"King Anduin, could you please explain why these weapons have appeared within our borders?"
Having said that, before Anduin could respond, Tairuo continued, "We were quite curious when these weapons suddenly appeared within our Land of Light. We didn’t know what was happening... But as you might have seen, only two of these weapons appeared in the bustling marketplace, while the rest were in the deep mountains and hidden ravines within our territory. If we hadn’t known about these weapons in advance and conducted a nationwide search, we might never have found them."
"At first, we couldn’t figure out the purpose of these weapons appearing here until I noticed that right after these weapons appeared, you also stationed troops at the border under the guise of a military parade."
Tairuo sneered, "King Anduin, you first sent these weapons into our territory by some unknown means, and now you suddenly station troops at the confluence of the three nations. I have every reason to suspect... these weapons were just a vanguard. If we hadn’t discovered them in advance, you would have used some method to trigger these weapons to cause widespread destruction within our borders."
He shouted, "The scraped-off emblems are evidence. If you weren’t guilty, why scrape them off? Or do you plan to simply deny that these weapons are yours?"
Anduin and Carlos were dumbstruck.
Indeed, these weapons were theirs.
In fact, the emblems were scraped off because, after all, it was for combat within the Secret Realm, so it was best not to reveal their native identity.
Even if others clearly knew their identity, the last layer of cover should not be removed.
But now, these weapons had appeared within the Land of Light?
Carlos suddenly remembered that during their intense battle, their artillery support abruptly vanished... the weapons had been stolen.
Was it the people from the Secret Realm?!
It had to be them.
And now it seems, these weapons were not used for themselves, but to frame others.
"Actually, I have the same confusion as Crown Prince Tairuo."
Han Xu Yang slowly opened his mouth, and since Tairuo was already furious, he naturally didn’t need to charge ahead.
He said, "During this period, many advanced weapons have appeared within our Great Xia Empire’s borders as well, injuring quite a few civilians... Initially, I didn’t think much of it, but later I realized these weapons were discovered one after another, and many officials advised me, saying it was a conspiracy by the Baoxue Empire to move against the Great Xia Empire. At that time, I reprimanded them."
Han Xu Yang said righteously, "I sternly rebuked those civil and military officials, saying that King Anduin is a person of great strategic and tactical prowess. Given that all Three Great Empires are troubled by attacks from the Outer Heaven Mysterious Clan, how could they possibly handle those and still have leisure to move against the Great Xia Empire? Unless they have colluded with the Mysterious races of the heavens?"
Anduin and Carlos’ hearts skipped a beat.
After a pause, Han Xu Yang sighed deeply and said, "Those subjects were originally convinced by me, but you suddenly pulled such a stunt at the border. You say it’s practice for the Secret Realm, but the timing is just too coincidental, so much so that I have to believe the subjects’ advice... Could it be that you really..."
"Hahahahahaha, how could that be."
Anduin laughed heartily, saying, "How could I collude with the Mysterious races of the heavens? King Xia overthinks it."
"King Anduin overthinks it, I never said it was King Anduin colluding with the Mysterious races of the heavens. What I said was, could it be that your Baoxue Empire is really planning to move against our Great Xia Empire? As for those weapons, they are your vanguard... Crown Prince Tairuo’s concerns are very valid."
Han Xu Yang sighed, "Otherwise, King Anduin, we are waiting for your explanation."
He paused.
Han Xu Yang said, "Also, King Anduin, you better not say these weapons were actually to deal with the Demon Beasts of the Secret Realm, but were sabotaged by the Demon Beasts, bringing your weapons onto our territory... Hahahaha... Apart from a bunch of stinky Demon Beasts, there’s nothing else in the Secret Realm worth attacking, this reason doesn’t hold up."
Anduin: ".................."
Indeed, it doesn’t hold up, but this is the real reason.
Of course, this reason absolutely cannot be revealed.
If said, given the cleverness of these two fellows, they would surely guess that there is a treasure within the Secret Realm enticing to the Baoxue Empire.
By then, the decades of hard work by their Baoxue Empire would end up benefiting these two countries.
"Speak up, we are all waiting for your explanation."
Han Xu Yang said, "The Three Great Empires are interdependent. As long as your explanation makes sense, we are not averse to believing it. After all, such a method is truly miraculous; suddenly appearing within our nation, if you truly intended war, you could directly detonate bombs internally. It’s no wonder you have the confidence to simultaneously start wars with two great empires."
