1260 Plea for Help from Various Countries 2 (1/2)
Competing based on a country's might, they were not a match for the Condor Country's and had been imprisoned within the Imperial Capital, puppets under house arrest. The Condor Country's Emperor had held these rulers within his palm's grasp, all of it in an effort to threaten the various countries to submit.
These rulers had all come here this place, not because they were willing to capitulate, but they just did not want to provide the Condor Country's Emperor with any ridiculous reason for him to mobilize his troops against their country.
The Buckwheat Kingdom's little Emperor experience had deeply instilled a great amount of fear into their hearts, where they did not know whether they would become the next victim.
And at the moment they heard that the Fire Country's Emperor had appeared here within the city, they had all seemed to have seen a tiny glimmer of light within the dark despair. If there was anyone who would be able to suppress the Condor Country, then it would only be the Fire Country alone.
Hence, they had all gathered together and came running to outside the gates of the Imperial Palace to wait, yearning to be able to grasp at this last sliver of hope they had.
Several of the rulers, their voices interjected in between tears, abandoned the dignity of an Emperor, and let go of the glory their Dragon robes cloaked their persons with. They did not want to become the puppets strung along by the Condor Country, and were not willing to let their citizens suffer such a terrifying future.
They were only asking for the Fire Country's Emperor, to be able to save them, and save their countries.
Jun Wu Xie listened to them quietly, already aware of the heinous deeds committed by the Condor Country's Emperor, but never had she expected that the Condor Country's Emperor would carry out his outrageous misdeeds to such an extent, to have imprisoned the rulers of so many countries within the Condor Country's Imperial Capital!
”Your Majesty from the Fire Country! If you are willing to save us, we would rather submit ourselves under the Fire Country!” The ruler of the Dignity Country had resolved to do this even if it cost him his life and rather than to let the Condor Country have its way to turn their people into mindless Poison Men, they would rather submit themselves to the Fire Country.
As even though the Fire Country was mighty,they had at least not committed any instances of taking advantage of the weak through threats and coercion.
”All of you can rise.” Jun Wu Xie said in a light voice.
The rulers remained kneeling upon the floor, as upon their shoulders, they carried not just the burden of the several lives of themselves here, but the millions of lives of the people in entire countries under their rule.
Staring at the several rulers still kneeling stubbornly upon the ground, Jun Wu Xie felt a headache beginning to come on.
