Chapter 1315: Fear of Not Surviving a Single Day (2/2)
“Is there any news from those sent to the Eternal Celestial Capital?”
“Not yet, Your Majesty We should hear fro “Sire, I have a feords that I’m not sure I should say”
“Do so You’ve followedtime as my most trusted confidant What need is there for you to withhold your thoughts?” There was deep fatigue in the emperor’s voice
“I think that if the news proves true, even the Eternal Celestial Capital may not defend us Therefore…”
“Therefore what?” The emperor’s tone took a sharp turn
“I think that Your Majesty should hed His own voice was lowered and his eyes becah he’d followed Great Scarlet’s e time, he kne explosive His Majesty was If he didn’t speak cautiously, even a confidante as hiency plans?” The e lord Zhen really is that Jiang Chen kid, what plans can we possibly htning-fast strike frouard, Commander He, broke his silence “Your Majesty, I think there’s no cause for concern at all So what if Jiang Chen is young lord Zhen? He spent barely any tis could he have for that sect? It’s been so e far earlier than this if he were truly interested? One reat e lord, after all Veluriyaht now, so it’s rather occupied with internal affairs What reason would they have for attacking Great Scarlet? Wouldn’t they attack the Eternal Celestial Capital first?”
“The Eternal Celestial Capital?” Old Guo smiled wryly “Reports indicate that that sect was the only first rank sect absent froer Meet That’s more than sufficient evidence”
“Evidence for what?” Co lord Zhen is preparing to bare his fangs” Old Guo prostrated hied, “Your Majesty, we must take counterated disaster will strike”
The possibility of sohts on Great Scarlet… it was enough to make the oldabout plans and countermeasures What do you think His Majesty should do exactly, huh? What kind of plan and counterate Veluriyam Capital’s attack?”
“Are we supposed to just sit here and await our doorily
The statement pained Great Scarlet’s emperor He remembered his tremendous past ambitions With a few simple commands, he’d zealously destroyed Myriad Do he’d been back then!
Alas, a terrifying nightle disciple froal Pill Palace wreaked havoc upon both Great Scarlet and the Eternal Celestial Capital’s plans, forcing them to take loss after loss
At the end of their squabbling, both factions had lost a good deal of men More painfully, the leaders of Great Scarlet’s fourth rank sects who’d pursued Jiang Chen alongside Gong Wuji were beheaded Afterwards, their heads were delivered to him in an act of intiht of it Ten chests, each one filled to the brim with heads Several hundred pairs of wide-open eyes stared at hih to terrify even a ruler like him
“Don’t listen to his lies, Your Majesty I don’t believe a kid froal Pill Palace can control Veluriyam Capital The rumors…”
“Shut up!” Great Scarlet’s elanced at the prostrate Old Guo “Rise, Old Guo Tell me what I should do at this point in ti his head in sadness “If Great Scarlet really has becoet, a clash between us would be like an egg striking a stone In light of that, I don’t have any particularly good ideas There are a few bad ones, Your Majesty, that you ht choose from”
“Speak”
“First, subize them in the most humble way possible and push all of the blame onto the Eternal Celestial Capital This idea won’t necessarily guarantee the imperial family’s continued rule, but it will prevent a massive loss of life in Great Scarlet as a whole”
The emperor’s expression darkened as soon as the proposal left the old man’s mouth This was completely ridiculous! He was to kneel to Veluriyam Capital? And the Yan faardless of that?
Could that really be considered an idea at all? What was the point of surrendering if he wasn’t e it for? The people that lived in the region? It’d be a shaive up what he had for the time and he cared only for his personal interests The rest of Great Scarlet could crash and burn as long as his family’s possessions and status were intact
If the Yan family couldn’t be preserved, he would rather the rest of the region follow them to the funeral pyre!
“What other ideas do you have?” The emperor’s tone was a bit remote
“An alternative would be to join up with Pillfire City We can seek their intervention and aid Unfortunately, because they're in the distant north, we can’t rely on theht”
“What else?” Great Scarlet’s emperor asked coldly
“Aside from that, we can only disband the Great Scarlet Eional factions We ions, which means that Veluriyah!” The emperor became visibly upset “What terrible ideas are these? They’re either inified idea, Old Guo?”
“I do” Old Guo was eht to the death Let us lay down our lives for our nation If you choose this, Your Majesty, I illingly lead the charge”
