Chapter 863: Where is the Southern Star Kingdom going?
The situation of the Southern Star Kingdom has become very difficult, and the materials on the front line of the war are becoming more and more scarce, so they seek support from the Longxiao Kingdom.
It is said that now the three countries are coalition forces, which can be regarded as common prosperity and disgrace, and they want to live and die together, and the resources of Longxiao Country are the richest countries among the five countries in the fairy world, as long as they are willing, they should be able to easily solve the crisis of Nanxing Kingdom.
However, the purpose of the Longxiao Kingdom is to dominate the outer heavens, how could they care so much about the sacrifice of the Southern Star Kingdom, when the Southern Star Kingdom sought support, they only symbolically took out some things that had been eliminated in their own country and sent them to the Southern Star Kingdom, such as worn clothes, old and outdated weapons, and some moldy grain and grass.
Everyone in the Southern Star Kingdom who received the support materials was so angry that they wanted to throw them away, but now they had a better choice?
Only then did they remember how generous the West Rain Country was when it provided them with supplies, the West Rain Country itself was not rich, but when they helped the West Rain Country, they were all given the best things, and it was by no means like Long Xiao Country, just like asking Hanako to give leftovers, there was no sincerity at all.
In the palace of Nanxing Kingdom, Emperor Nan Xinghai convened hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss military affairs, and after scanning a circle of civil and military officials in the court, Nan Xinghai, who had a solemn expression, said slowly:
"Now, the Southern Star Kingdom has reached a critical moment of life and death, Tang Luo, the general of the Demon Realm, has once again become our opponent, last time, he was a quick plunder, avoiding a frontal war, we all thought that he didn't dare, because our army far outnumbered her."
"However, this time, it was we who took the initiative to attack, and he passively faced the battle, so there was no trick, and a frontal battle was launched, and the Zhongqing family also saw that our army was losing and retreating, at this rate, at most three months, our Southern Star Country will be completely broken and become the next Northern Moon Country."
"The North Moon Country can still retreat north into the Seukan Forest, and behind us is the endless sea, if we retreat, we can only choose a small island in the sea to settle down."
"In the face of the current situation, what good strategies do the Qing family have to break the enemy?"
The hundred officials looked at each other, and then someone began to talk in a whisper, and after a while, a military general came out and said:
"We were deceived into the war by Longxiao Country at all, and now we are short of food and grass, and we are short of materials, but they don't give us support, so they use some rags to send us, food and grass are lacking, how can this war be fought? It's better to negotiate with the generals of the Demon Realm and declare a truce. ”
A civil servant stood up in the ranks, shook his head and said:
"The war has begun, how easy is it to stop the war, either to cede the land or to compensate, how can the army of the demon world be so easily satisfied?"
Another civil servant also came out and said:
"There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, it is impossible for our Southern Star Kingdom to retreat from one thing, Longxiao Country pulled us into the game, their crisis has been alleviated, but we have become innocent victims, the good situation of the Demon Realm army in Longxiao Country has been destroyed by us, and now they hate us to the core, even if we want to stop the war, they probably won't accept it, unless they surrender."
Above the court, hundreds of civil and military officials all spoke, complaining about the ruthlessness and unrighteousness of Longxiao Kingdom, and on the other hand, they felt powerless about the strength of the demon army, but there was no good solution.
By the time everyone has agreed, Nanxing
Haicai said to Nan Buyi, who had been standing silently behind:
"Buyi, you are now a member of my Southern Star Kingdom, why haven't you spoken? What's your opinion? ”
Nan Buyi had no choice but to stand up and replied respectfully:
"Back to Your Majesty, when the Longxiao Kingdom sent people to lobby, General Wei Wuji was resolutely opposed to sending troops, but the civil and military officials insisted on letting His Majesty send troops, saying that this was a good opportunity for the Nanxing Kingdom to take advantage of the situation and defeat the Demon Realm army, so that the territory of the Nanxing Kingdom could be expanded, and at the same time, it could also form an alliance with the Longxiao Kingdom and get more assistance from them."
"However, now how can Longxiao Country care about our life and death, when it was still an alliance with Xiyu Country, Xiyu Country can still allocate a large amount of materials to resource us when its own resources are equally scarce, Longxiao Country's resources are not known to be many times stronger than Xiyu Country, but the materials they provide are not as good as one percent of Xiyu Country."
"This is our own chosen ally, the purpose of Longxiao Kingdom is very simple, we are here to help it consume the strength of the Demon Realm army, the more we consume, the greater their hope of victory, and they still don't give me assistance, they have to keep the materials and preserve their strength until the final battle with the Demon Realm army, so that they have a chance to dominate the outer heavens."
"General Wei Wuji is the most capable general in our Southern Star Country, but there is a saying that 'the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers', not to mention that he is a great general, and the soldiers can't even eat, how can he fight? That's why they will be defeated and retreated, and they can't stop General Tang Luo's attack. ”
"Things have developed to this point, and in Buyi's opinion, we have no power to return to the sky."
When Long Xiao Guo sent people to ask for an alliance to jointly resist the army of the Demon Realm, they firmly believed that this was a rare opportunity for the Southern Star Kingdom to rescue the princess of the Demon Realm, that is, they had already thrown themselves into the arms of the Demon Realm, how could they continue to be an alliance?
And Long Xiao Country, as a country that is countless times stronger than Xiyu Country, can naturally get more benefits from forming an alliance with Long Xiao Country, since the alliance has ended, it is a relationship of honor and disgrace, isn't it a matter of course for Long Xiao Country to support Nanxing Country?
With their strength, wouldn't the supplies they support be much stronger than the Western Rain Country, which was already in crisis?
It was with this in mind that they suggested to Nan Xinghai that they should give up the Xiyu Kingdom and throw themselves into the arms of the stronger Longxiao Kingdom.
Now, reality has given them a very resounding slap in the face.
Longxiao Kingdom is very powerful, and the materials are very rich, but they don't give it to you, what can you do?
For them, they only need to say that the Heavenly Thunder Country and the Southern Star Country will send troops to divide the firepower of the Demon Realm army, and that is enough, as for the life and death of those two countries, what does it have to do with him? It's just right to let the demon army destroy them, so that it's not easy to do it yourself later!
Seeing that the civil and military officials all lowered their heads, Nan Xinghai said slowly:
"If you want to make a mistake in decision-making, I am the one who makes the biggest mistake, in fact, I watched the sky at night before, and I found that the emperor of the Xiyu Kingdom was very bright, but seeing that the Xiyu Kingdom had lost two-thirds of its land and was forced to live in a corner, coupled with the news that Liu Tingfeng rescued the princess of the Demon Realm and slaughtered millions of people due to the misfortune of becoming demons, my mind was also shaken."
"A crumbling country, they also rescued the princess of the demon world, even the most important general
The military capital has already fallen into the devil, and such a country does not even have the ability to protect itself, how can it be trusted? ”
"During that time, the Emperor Star of the Xiyu Kingdom also became a lot dimmer, this world is changing, changing rapidly, for a country, it is naturally more advantageous to choose a strong ally than to choose a crumbling ally, so I agreed to the advice of the hundred officials and formed an alliance with the Longxiao Kingdom to jointly resist the invasion of the demon army."
Speaking of this, Nan Xinghai's face also showed a little remorse, Emperor Zun's decision affected the fate of the country, and he should indeed bear the greatest responsibility.
After a long time, Nan Xinghai continued:
"It seems that General Wei Wuji's previous words were right, forming an alliance with a Longxiao country that has no faith at all is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, it is very powerful, but it does not speak of faith at all, when the Xiyu country was in crisis, they ruthlessly abandoned the Xiyu country, this time, the Longxiao country pulled us into the game by deception, just to let us share their pressure, as long as we go to war with the demon army, it has nothing to do with it."
"We need supplies, we need weapons, they are very rich, but if he doesn't give them, what can we do?"
"At this point, Xiyu Country has done a good job, during the Chinese New Year, we are short of materials, they can be generous when they are still in difficulty, and give us a lot of funding, so that we have a good year, but unfortunately, this is also an ally, in times of crisis, we were abandoned."
"Now that the truth is revealed, Liu Tingfeng sacrificed his life to rescue Qu Lingfei, it is precisely because he was once his life-saving benefactor, for the sake of the morality of the rivers and lakes, he disregarded his own life and death, and did not care about the identity of the other party, he just wanted to go to the rescue, this is a person who values righteousness over life and death, such a person is a friend worthy of our friendship."
"He was unfortunately eroded by the Soul Eater Bead and killed two thousand pursuers, in fact, it is understandable to think about it."
"It's just that I didn't expect Long Xiaoguo to use this matter to make a big fuss, deceive us, and let us enter their trap in a hurry and become the gun in the hands of Long Xiaoguo."
Speaking of this, Nan Xinghai sighed softly and then paused.
He didn't speak, and all the civil and military officials lowered their heads and stopped talking, and after a while, Nan Xinghai looked at Nan Buyi again and said indifferently:
"Buyi, in your opinion, where should we go from the South Star Kingdom?"
Nan Buyi opened her mouth and was about to speak, but she suddenly held back, and under the gaze of Nan Xingguo, she said with difficulty:
"The last general...... The last general will not dare to say! ”
Nan Xinghai also seemed to have expected something, and after he pondered for a moment, he said in a firm tone:
"At this time, what else is there not to say? The worst result is probably the destruction of the country, and the Nanxing Kingdom no longer exists, so you can speak out boldly, no matter what you say, I will never blame you today. ”
Nan Buyi then plucked up the courage and said:
"As Your Majesty said, Bu Yi also feels that the South Star Kingdom is no longer able to return to the sky, and it is a matter of time before it perishes."
"Therefore, since the country is doomed to perish, why not choose to save a little strength and go to the West Rain Country, if one day the West Rain Country can defeat the Demon Realm army, we can also be regarded as meritorious heroes, and we can get some rewards, which is better than being slaughtered by the Demon Realm now."
As soon as the words came out, he was shocked.
