328 The Fall of the Last Kingdom (2/2)

Seeing her cute face, Soujin leaned slightly and planted a light kiss on her forehead. ”I'll be resting now. You should have some rest too.”

”Okay,” Jun Hua answered softly. She waited for him to fall asleep before walking out of the tent. The battle was not over yet.

For the next few weeks, Soujin led the battle and defeat Pan Kingdom through fully. The battle to conquer the capital was the top priority in his current list.

…

Pan Kingdom Capital

Hearing the report about the battle of Ye Jiu, the Emperor closed his eyes. He should have expected this to happen. The ability of Soujin was certainly not one to be looked down upon and now, there was simply no one who could contend against the young general anymore.

The officials were all holding their breath. They didn't dare to interrupt their emperor in his thinking. Normal people would fall into despair after hearing such bad news, but the emperor stayed silent and closed his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.

”Where is Ye Tian?” the emperor finally asked.

”To answer Your Highness, the crown prince is staying in his residence.”

The emperor nodded his head. This prince may be useless, but he was still his son. Tapping his hand on the chair, he opened his mouth and gave the edict.

”Take the crown prince to save place and defend the city. I will personally fight on the frontline.”

The emperor decision made the officials stunned, but they didn't have anything they could do to fight on equal grounds with Soujin. Their last resort would only be fighting on sheer will alone.

”Your Highness, should we call Prince Ye Jiu back to fight with us?” one of the prime ministers asked hesitantly.

The Emperor shot him a glance, which made the prime minister felt his leg go soft. Although the Emperor hadn't said anything, he had already regretted to open his mouth at such time.

The Emperor only swept a glance, but he didn't answer. There was simply no answer for this question as he was sure that Ye Jiu already abandoned him. As an uncle, he might feel slight disappointment, but as the Emperor, he knew very well that they had no chance.

Based on the report, he knew that Ye Jiu was wounded badly, and he was being pushed back continuously. Although the prince had said that the second undefeated general has returned, how come a person came from the death? He thought that this prince was toying with him, though he did feel suspicious.

The armies from Soujin's side are already coming to their gate. Standing up, he looked towards the minister from above.

”The war has started.”

With the Emperor appearance on the frontline, the soldier's morale was boosted. However, they were simply no match for Soujin's army power. With their disadvantages, it only took them a few days for the downfall of the capital and the Emperor was captured.

The Emperor sighed as he saw the soldiers from enemy's side overrun the city. He had lost. There was no need for him to fight anymore. His eyes looked straight to the setting sun faraway on the West. The glorious Pan Kingdom is no more. It ended during the time of his rule. What a disgrace. A great kingdom with decades of history ended in mere months at the hand of a newly risen kingdom.
