Chapter 431: I’ve Given You Face, The Imperial Edicts Arrives (1)
This person was Great Zhao’s General Bai Qiancheng.
Speaking of which, although Zhou Shu had driven the million-strong demon army back to the Demon Realm, the Ten Nations had already suffered heavy losses.
More than half of the commanders of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament had died at the hands of Yao Lian.
Currently, only Great Xia’s Meng Bai, Great Qin’s Wang Mu, Great Jin’s Tang Chengshi, and Great Zhao’s Bai Qiancheng were still alive.
Zhang Wuyuan, who spoke earlier, was actually not the supreme commander of Great Qi. It was just that the supreme commander of Great Qi had died in battle. As the strongest person in the Great Qi Army, he temporarily led the Great Qi army.
When Bai Qiancheng spoke, his tone was different from Zhang Wuyuan’s.
When he said that, even Meng Bai and Wang Mu frowned.
“General Bai, you don’t believe His Highness?” Meng Bai said. “You want to stay on the Ten Nations Martial Arts battlefield and wait for it to open again?”
“General Meng, I do not doubt your intentions.” Bai Qiancheng shook his head. “It’s just that this matter is very important. We can’t possibly gamble with our thousands of lives just because you said so, right?”
...
The strength of the Ten Nations Alliance was already uneven.
The most miserable ones, Great Liang and Great Chen, were almost completely wiped out. Great Liang still had Cao Chenyang, a first-rank martial artist, to hold the fort, but there were only a few people left in Great Chen. The person with the highest cultivation level was only at the fourth rank of the Martial Dao, and he was not even qualified to participate in the meeting.
As for the remaining eight countries, there was no need to mention Great Wei. The original Great Wei soldiers, the current Criminal Army, had completely submitted to Zhou Shu.
Those who still retained a certain amount of strength were Great Xia, Great Qin, and Great Zhao.
The remaining military strength of these three countries was still more than 10,000 people. Although it was not comparable to the 30,000-strong Criminal Army, it wasn’t considered bad.
There were only a few thousand people left in the armies of Great Han, Great Qi, Great Chu, and Great Jin. They were much weaker than Great Xia, Great Qin, and Great Zhao.
The relationship between the Ten Nations was already complicated. Now that there was a huge difference in strength, it was inevitable that some countries would band together.
After all, there were only around 90,000 people in the Ten Nations Alliance, but more than half of them belonged to Zhou Shu alone.
Zhou Shu had the 30,000-strong Criminal Army, and the Great Xia army definitely stood with him. He was the Side-by-side King of Great Qin, so the Great Qin army was definitely on his side.
The soldiers of these three parties alone exceeded 50,000.
Moreover, Tang Chengshi of Great Jin was also very close to him.
It was no wonder that the people from the other nations were worried. They couldn’t help but worry that they would be treated as cannon fodder.
Now that Bai Qiancheng had come forward, as well as Great Qi’s Zhang Wuyuan, the people from Great Han and Great Chu also came forward.
“That’s right. If we return to the Ten Nations through the Demon Realm, won’t we be walking into a trap? It wasn’t easy for us to chase the Demon Realm army back to the Demon Realm. Are we going to send ourselves to their door again?”
“There’s no chance of survival. When the time comes, the first to die will probably be nations like us who are not strong enough, right?”
“Even if we’re being sent to our deaths, we have to make things clear. We can’t die and still be confused.”
“It’s just your side of the story now. It’s still uncertain if the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space will be destroyed. How can a world be destroyed so easily?”
The people of the various nations spoke one after another, and there were various opinions.
Those who were qualified to attend were either the supreme commanders or first-rank experts of the various nations.
But this commotion was no different from an ordinary marketplace argument.
Meng Bai’s expression darkened.?His Highness took such a huge risk to chase the million-strong Demon Realm army back to the Demon Realm, but these bastards are still suspecting him!
If His Highness really wanted to screw you bastards over, would he have to go to so much trouble?
If he had attacked the Demon Realm army a few days later, all of you bastards would have died in the hands of the Demon Realm army!
Do you think it’s safe here just because the Demon Realm army has been driven back?
The Demon Realm army had already invaded the Ten Nations Continent!
You bastards are still trying to judge a gentleman by a villain’s standards. You’re really inhumane!
“Don’t panic, everyone,” Bai Qiancheng said as he pressed his hands down.
The people of Great Qi, Great Han, and Great Chu immediately fell silent. Even a fool could tell that the four nations had clearly gathered together and were following Bai Qiancheng’s lead.
“General Meng, we don’t have any other intentions. We just want to consider the long term. Even if we want to use the Demon Realm to return to the Ten Nations, we have to have a reason, right? At the very least, the King of the South should appear and give us an explanation, right?
“This is not the matter of one family. The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers are at stake,” Bai Qiancheng said righteously.
Just as Meng Bai was about to speak, a voice suddenly sounded. “What explanation do you want me to give you?”
Everyone looked over and saw Zhou Shu sitting on a chair with his legs crossed. No one noticed when he had appeared!
Bai Qiancheng’s pupils constricted slightly. This was the first time he had seen Zhou Shu. Even he hadn’t noticed when Zhou Shu had appeared.
