Chapter 1563: Demonstration (1)

In the Imperial Palace of Long Xuan Empire.

Jiang Wan reported all the things that happened in the Barren Land to the emperor in detail.

The emperor sat on the throne and listened quietly to Jiang Wan's report. The more he listened, the more ugly his expression became.

The Long Xuan Empire army entered the Barren Land with a million people, but only a hundred thousand came back alive!

The consumption of nine hundred thousand troops was simply a nightmare for the Long Xuan Empire!

When Jiang Wan ended his report, the emperor was already dejected to death.

The four-nation alliance with an army of three million could not beat a Shen Yanxiao, and under the siege of a million demon beasts, The Rising Sun City unexpectedly could still stand in the Barren Land?

This was simply a joke!

"Are you telling the truth?" The emperor's voice had a hint of trembling.

"This small official's words are all true. If your majesty the emperor does not believe, your majesty can ask His Highness. He has witnessed all of this." Jiang Wan fulfilled his promise to The Rising Sun City. As soon as he returned, he hurriedly came to see the emperor.

"How could it be... Is that Shen Yanxiao still a human being?" The emperor sat dispiritedly on the throne, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.

The matter of Shen Yanxiao colluding with the demons, he had heard it.

But who would tell him why Shen Yanxiao suddenly had two more Holy Beasts under her hands? How had the Wing of Death, the king of the phantom dragons, been summoned? And... the God's Domain!

Hadn't the God's Domain always hated the demons? When did they begin to have such a good relationship with Shen Yanxiao, who colluded with them?

And even helped The Rising Sun City to fight against the beast tide?!!

The emperor's worldview had been completely distorted. He could not find any words to describe his mood at this moment.

Shen Yanxiao, she was a monster!

But what made the emperor bitterly disappointed was the inaction of the Broken Star Palace. The four-nation alliance sent troops to the Barren Land mainly to give face to the Broken Star Palace, but no one had ever thought that the Broken Star Palace would just really stand idly by, completely disregarding the life and death of the four-nation alliance.

Nine hundred thousand soldiers!

That was more than half of the Long Xuan Empire's military strength!

The relief payment of this group of soldiers alone could turn the treasury of the Long Xuan Empire from rich to deep in debt.

The emperor's heart was bleeding.

"Your majesty, this small official has words to say, I don't know if it would be proper to say it." Jiang Wan said.

"There's no wrong in speaking bluntly." Anyway, the emperor had already been hit hard and received cuts and bruises all over.

"This time, it was a mistake for the four countries to listen to the instigation of the Broken Star Palace to attack the Barren Land. This small official had come into contact with Shen Yanxiao, and she seems not to be a crafty and vicious person." Jiang Wan's heart was full of admiration for Shen Yanxiao.

"Mistake? What's the use of knowing that now? We have already offended The Rising Sun City, do you think it's still possible to shake hands and talk with them? It's too late... Everything is too late." The emperor forced a smile and shook his head. He blamed himself for having a moment of greed. Now he actually set up such a terrible enemy for the Long Xuan Empire.

If he could go back in time, the emperor would not easily promise the Broken Star Palace to send troops to the Barren Land.

Now, it was great. He didn't get any city, and his nine hundred thousand troops had been nibbled off by Shen Yanxiao's forces and the demon beasts.

The emperor really wanted to slap himself.

"Perhaps... it's not too late." Jiang Wan looked up then continued, "Since Shen Yanxiao is willing to accept the soldiers of our four countries when the beast tide struck, it is enough to prove that she really isn't a person with a small belly and chicken intestines[1]. Although she is young, she knows to look at the bigger picture. Even after the end of the beast tide, not only she did not kill the soldiers of our four countries, but she also treated our wounded. This small official thought that if we could show enough sincerity, she should not wipe out the Long Xuan Empire."
