Chapter 1226: The Disaster of War
Chapter 1226: The Disaster of War
The world of nothingness, within the East Asian continent.
When war breaks out, national disasters also arise!
Opposition voices were heard in many countries.
"Father, what did you say?" The prince looked at his father in shock and disbelief, holding the sword tightly in his hand, approaching step by step, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
He couldn't accept this fact. His country was obviously far superior to the Guangwu Empire. Whether it was the number of great emperors or the number of supreme beings in the country, it far exceeded the other side. However, his father actually said that he wanted to dissolve the country. This was simply a fantasy!
According to the regulations, the prince will be able to ascend the throne and become the king of a country in less than two years. For him, the throne is already within reach. But now, all this will come to nothing, how can he not be angry?
"Father, are you getting old and confused?!" The prince's voice was filled with anger and disappointment. "The dissolution of the country means we will lose everything, not only power and status, but also our dignity and honor!"
He opened his eyes wide and stared at his father, as if he wanted to see his father's true thoughts through his eyes.
"Father, there is no other way!" The emperor sighed helplessly, his face showing deep fatigue and helplessness, "This is the only choice that can save our lives. If we don't do this, we will be besieged by other countries like Tiansheng Country, and end up being destroyed."
The emperor's voice was low and hoarse, revealing endless sorrow and despair. He wanted to keep the country and the status of himself and his son, but the reality was so cruel that he had no other choice.
After hearing his father's words, the prince's anger subsided a little, but he still couldn't accept this decision. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Even so, we can't infuse all the dragon energy into one emperor! That is the foundation of our country and our strength!"
The emperor shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Son, you don't understand yet. This great emperor has now become the Supreme Being. Behind him stands a being far superior to the Lord of Chaos. If we don't give him the dragon energy, he will definitely attack us. By then, I'm afraid we won't even be able to save our lives."
The prince was silent. He knew that what his father said was true. Facing such a powerful enemy, they really didn't have much chance of winning.
"I had no choice but to do this!" The emperor sighed again. His body seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, as if he had gone through a great ordeal. "I hope you can understand my difficulties."
The prince looked at his father's haggard face and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
He knew that his father made this decision out of helplessness, but he still felt that this decision was too hasty and difficult for him to accept.
"you!!"
The prince clenched his teeth tightly, veins bulged on his forehead, and his hands trembled slightly, but he still did not hesitate to put the sword in his hand that was shining with a cold light directly on his father's neck.
"I beg you, father, to restore me to the throne. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!" The prince's voice was filled with a hint of determination and helplessness!
And below, all the civil and military officials shouted in unison: "We, implore Your Majesty to return to the throne!" Their voices echoed in the palace, like a powerful torrent, unstoppable!
However, facing this situation of forcing the emperor to abdicate, Zhang Wenyuan seemed unusually calm. There was no panic on his face, and he just said calmly: "I, Zhang Wenyuan, am no longer the king of a country. Prince, everyone, please leave!"
Although his words were gentle, they were full of powerlessness, as if he had seen through everything and had long lost interest in the throne and power.
After saying this, Zhang Wenyuan seemed to have used up all his strength. He waved his hands and fell to the ground as if all his strength had been drained away. His body was trembling slightly, as if he was making a final struggle with some kind of inner power.
However, the dragon energy, the dragon energy that represented the throne, was like a thorn in his side, and he could not give it up. But what could he do?
That was no longer a choice he could make.
Bang!
At this moment, the sword in the prince's hand suddenly lost its support and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The prince also knelt down slowly, his knees making dull thumping sounds, his head lowered, as if he had lost all his life.
"Father!! That position must not be allowed to be taken by others! Father, you are the Lord of Chaos. Looking at the entire void world, who can do anything to you?" His voice was full of anxiety and unwillingness.
"My brother has his own reasons... Alas!"
Just then, a slight sound of footsteps was heard. Everyone turned their heads and saw a figure slowly walking towards them.
His steps seemed slow, but each step seemed to contain endless power, and the space around him gradually shrank as he approached.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Everyone shouted in unison, their voices revealing their awe for this supreme prince.
Zhang Wenwu nodded slightly in response to everyone's greetings.
His eyes fell on Zhang Rui, and he said slowly: "I went there with your father, but I witnessed Ji Heng's fall with my own eyes!"
Ji Heng, the powerful man who once dominated the world of nothingness, actually fell because he offended that terrifying existence!
And his father, even as the Lord of Chaos, was equally powerless in the face of such an absolutely invincible strong man.
"Resistance has no meaning other than accelerating decline." Zhang Wenwu's voice was calm but heavy. He was also stating a fact that could not be changed.
Zhang Wenwu sighed, "That person said that East Asia would be completely in the hands of the Guangwu Empire! Our resistance is meaningless. The accumulation of human lives is useless in front of that top senior."
When you reach a certain level, you will regard life as nothing.
If that is the case, then why is there any pointless resistance?
"Father..."
After a brief silence, Crown Prince Zhang Rui weakly lowered his head.
"Raise your troops, Zhang Wenwu, my king... I will appoint you as the Grand Marshal, commanding a million soldiers. Attack from the front and destroy the Tiansheng Kingdom!" Zhang Wenyuan's voice echoed in the court, carrying with it endless majesty and domineering power.
Zhang Wenwu knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, and responded loudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will live up to my mission and destroy the Tiansheng Kingdom with lightning speed!" His voice was sonorous and powerful, revealing an unparalleled confidence and determination.
Zhang Wenyuan nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "Anyone who tries to hinder will be crushed, and if there are anyone who is blind, they will all... be killed without mercy!" The emperor spoke the last sentence with particular emphasis, as if he wanted to trample all enemies under his feet.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Zhang Wenyuan's eyes.
He knew that Tiansheng Kingdom was the country that that existence had said he wanted to destroy, and there could be absolutely no hesitation in doing so.
Starting a war between nations will inevitably lead to the destruction of lives, but at this moment, unification is imminent, and any mistake may lead to the failure of all previous efforts. Therefore, even though he knew that this war would bring great destruction, he had to send troops, and he had to send a million strong army!
"Got the order!!"
Zhang Wenwu responded loudly again, and his voice echoed in the court for a long time.
He has always been Zhang Wenyuan's capable general. Now that he can lead the army into battle again, he can't help but feel excited.
Zhang Wenyuan looked around at the ministers in the court, then looked at the Crown Prince who was completely stunned beside him, "Zhang Rui, I will appoint you as the general, lead 200,000 troops, and attack from the flank."
Zhang Rui knelt down after realizing what was said: "I will do my best and live up to your majesty's trust!"
Zhang Wenyuan nodded slightly, and then said to the other generals: "Everyone, all the generals can be appointed as generals, lead 50,000 troops, and assist Zhang Rui!"
All the generals responded in unison: "As you command!"
For a moment, the atmosphere in the court was solemn, and everyone was well aware of the importance and cruelty of this war.
Zhang Rui is the crown prince, but now he has lost his title and has been granted the title of general!
"Order!"
"All officers, listen to my orders!" Zhang Wenyuan's voice exploded in everyone's ears like thunder. His eyes were like torches, scanning everyone present. "Gather the troops immediately and prepare to attack the Tiansheng Kingdom!"
"Anyone who surrenders will be spared death; but anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
Following Zhang Wenyuan's order, the originally silent scene was instantly broken.
All the civil and military officials present, as well as those who were personally granted the positions of generals and marshals, responded with solemn expressions, expressing their willingness to obey the order.
However, at the same time, similar things happened almost simultaneously in various major countries.
The most powerful figure was granted the title of Grand Marshal, who led an army of millions and swept towards the Holy Kingdom of Heaven like a surging tide.
What is even more shocking is that in front of this million-strong army, the Lord of Chaos is personally leading the way.
This undoubtedly gave enough face to the Tiansheng Kingdom, but it also showed the determination and strength of this attack.
However, at this time, the internal situation of Tiansheng Kingdom was in chaos.
People were panicked and ran around telling others the news. The whole country was thrown into chaos!
In this chaotic situation, a young man stepped forward and ended the short-lived chaos!
He raised the imperial sword high, his face full of anger, and roared to everyone: "My father is dead. From today on, I am the king of Tiansheng Kingdom!"
His voice stood out amid the noise, attracting everyone's attention.
A trace of anger flashed in the young man's eyes, and the imperial sword in his hand flashed with a faint imperial aura, as if echoing his anger.
However, behind this anger, there seem to be some other emotions hidden.
The fluctuations of the imperial aura sometimes seemed to be due to excitement, and sometimes seemed to be due to fear.
The young man is Ji Heng’s son, Ji Yuan, and he is also a candidate for the next crown prince, one of the only two candidates. As for the other candidate, he is dead!
Therefore, the succession to the throne naturally fell to Ji Yuan.
