Chapter 121 Sealing Xin Arrow Retrieved. (1/2)
The Vermillion Sonata Kingdom.
Due to the sudden raid of the demon beasts, the King had issued an emergency meeting with the ministers of his Kingdom while also deploying a group of his Royal Guards to aid the civilians.
Such an attack can definitely hit their economy hard. This didn't pose any grave danger towards the Kingdom itself, but for the citizens, it would most likely be life-threatening.
”My King!” At this moment, the ministers and other officials have arrived.
Si Baili nodded his head; ”You may all sit now.”
”Yes.” (Everyone)
Si Baili looks at everyone and spoke: ”What can all of you report?”
”My King, the damage that the demon beast raid has already reached a quarter of our Kingdom's residence, more than 200 villages have been razed and 24 cities totally destroyed!” One of the ministers involved in the citizens of the Vermillion Sonata Kingdom spoke.
”Whaa!”
A lot of the people inside couldn't help but exclaim in shock,
”If the damage is already that big, our economy will surely drop, a lot of our production will be stopped in order for the damage to be repaired for a year or two... This will be a huge economic crisis!”
”That's insane!”
”What will we do now.”
”We need to take action of course!”
”My King!”
At this moment, everyone looked at Si Baili as they wait for his words. Their eyes glowing with the will to resolve the problem at his call.
”What do you all think should be done?” Si Baili asks as he looks at his ministers.
At his words, all of the ministers suddenly had their spirit drained like flames drowned with water.
”That...”
”We should...”
”I...”
Si Baili couldn't help but sigh; [They were all great people before, but after years of peace, their minds had grown dull.]
”How about assembling a fast unit to save the citizens first, also, since the vanguards had already been sent, why not add another few reinforcements for them if they encounter something unexpected, like... betrayals, or sudden numbers of the enemies increasing, also form another few groups of elites to retrieve the captured inhabitants of your kingdom.” At this moment, a lot of words appeared.
Everyone looked at the location of the voice and saw a 17-year-old young man.
”Who are you!? To dare barge in the meeting of the King! Your head needs to be hanged!” One of the ministers spoke.
Another one also added; ”Your head shall be the price for your rudeness!”
”Halt!” At this Si Baili exclaims
All of them stopped their bantering, one even has a sword on his hand and prepare to deal with Mo Xie immediately.
The people gathered here are all at the peak of Heaven Encompassing rank, not any of them could be taken lightly, the King, Si Baili is already at the Immortal Foundation rank, one of the rare few individuals that are holding the supreme power above all others.
”Who are you and how did you get here young lass?” (Si Baili)
”I am Mo Xie of the Mo Family, Huotian invited me here.” Mo Xie spoke with a smile.
Hearing Mo Xie's introduction, a lot of the ministers immediately removed their anger and even is starting to think of some plans to have some connections with him.
Nobody in here heard of the Mo Family, but they never know how many families are hidden, being Huotian's friend, they immediately estimated that Mo Xie came from the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire, even a normal family is enough to match their Kingdom, what more can they hope to but to form some ties with any of them.
”Oh, if it isn't Tian'er's friend, what brings you here?” (Si Baili)
”Nothing much, just that I saw a lot of people marching towards this area so I left Uncle Shi in the pond pavilion outside the grand hall just a few meters away from here.” Mo Xie paused before adding; ”Be sure to not let anyone disturb him as Uncle Shi is currently cultivating there.”
”Hahaha, of course, Little Xie, what you said earlier is a very basic yet splendid idea, my ministers had grown timid due to the peaceful lives they had been receiving.” (Si Baili)
”Oh, then, I would like to be part of those that are retrieving the hostages,” Mo Xie spoke as he smiled towards the King.
