Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2413 A Lonely Phoenix Sees No Shadow, A Dark Phoenix Burns the Stars

In the original historical trajectory of the Dongyi, Wang Changluo was called a unique figure throughout the ages by Tuoba Changping, who praised him as a figure that Dongyi had not seen for a thousand years.

Ultimately, in the attempt to assassinate him, three Celestial Realm experts were lost, including one in the late stage of the Celestial Realm, not to mention countless other Grandmasters and Innate Realm experts.

However, despite Wang Changluo's exceptional talent, the Eastern Yi were ultimately too weak. After a series of battles to rise to power, countless talented individuals within the country were lost in the process.

In particular, the phoenix died within a few years, making it difficult for the phoenix and the dragon to sing together.

In addition, Ji Hu fell into Wang Chang's trap during the great battle and was burned to death, and An Lin and Jie Jiao were too young.

So much so that after Wang Changluo single-handedly devised the grand strategy for the rise of the Eastern Yi, for a considerable period of time, Wang Changluo not only had to go out to fight, but also needed to control the overall development of the Eastern Yi.

The only good thing was that at least there was Yelü An who could control the overall situation and manage the government, so he didn't have to worry too much about politics.

Although there was an enlightened ruler, it was difficult to find anyone in the entire Eastern Yi region who could rival him. In the end, he was ultimately powerless to achieve his goal alone; despite his brief rise to power, he was unable to establish a true hegemony.

It was precisely for this reason that people of his time gave him the nickname "Lone Phoenix".

After all, the harmonious union of phoenix and dragon is a beautiful story, but the lone phoenix is ​​destined to be alone for life, without a partner to accompany it. This perfectly reflects Wang Changluo's life, in which he fought alone in his later years.

Many of his plans were rarely carried out to completion due to a lack of suitable executors.

"Ding! Wang Changluo's Lone Phoenix skill activated."
The Lone Phoenix, the Lone Phoenix lowers its head to preen its tattered feathers, the bright moon withers in the cold water, its sick wings are often shattered by the wind, its feathers are buried in the empty forest. This is Wang Changluo's unique skill.

Effect 1: When appointed as Prime Minister, two random attributes will be permanently increased by 1 (already activated); when holding sole power in the court, four random attributes will be permanently increased by 1.

Effect 2: When handling government affairs, political points will automatically increase by 3, accelerating administrative speed and efficiency.

Effect 3: When personally leading troops, the commander's leadership increases by 1-3 points; when acting as a strategist, the commander's leadership increases by 1-2 points.

Effect 4: When devising strategies, your own intelligence increases by 2, and the intelligence of the entire opposing team decreases by 1 to 4 points.

Effect 5, Harmonious Cry of the Phoenix and Luan Phoenix: When activated in conjunction with the 'Dark Phoenix' skill, it can trigger the combo skill 'Harmonious Cry of the Phoenix and Luan Phoenix'.

Perhaps this era truly is a time of great contention, with countless talented individuals emerging from all corners of the world, even in the small Dongyi region.

Or perhaps, the Dongyi people, who had survived for over a thousand years, were unwilling to be eliminated during this great struggle. Before their demise, they used their last bit of luck to make a final, desperate counterattack.

As a result, in just a few decades, the Eastern Yi not only produced Yelü An, a short-lived restorer, but also five top talents in various fields.

Luanfeng Wang Changluo and Mingfeng Xiao Beiming are the two older members of the group.

However, Xiao Beiming was born with a weak constitution and was destined not to live a long life. He died of illness in his early thirties, which is why he was given the name "Mingfeng" (meaning "the phoenix that has passed away").

This led to Wang Changluo's later situation of being unable to make a difference.

"Ding! Wang Changluo's Lonely Phoenix skill effect four is activated. When devising strategies, his own intelligence increases by 2. His base intelligence is 101, and his current intelligence increases to 103."

Wang Changluo: Command 99 (+1), Strength 55, Intelligence 101 (+1), Politics 99 (Abaoji Liaozu +1), Charisma 96 (Liaozu +1).

"Your Majesty, the Sun Kingdom is making outrageous demands, attempting to force us to hand over the entire Nanping Circuit!"

"If all we ask is for them to promise not to invade our Great Liao, then the entire lineage of Matsushita is nothing but wishful thinking, believing they have seized the lifeline of our Great Liao to use as leverage!" "How can we easily agree to such an unreasonable demand?" Wang Changluo replied directly.

Among the various Dongyi regions, Nanping Road boasts a developed sea salt production, as well as advanced handicrafts and manufacturing industries. It is a major source of tax revenue for the entire Dongyi region.

Giving them the remaining half of Nanping Road would be far more than just cutting off a piece of flesh for the Dongyi.

Most importantly, the other party only promised not to cause them any trouble for a while, yet they want such a big piece of meat from them. If they could agree to that, what would happen?
"But the Han army is coming with overwhelming force, even though our Great Liao has already mobilized a large number of troops from Nanping Road!"

"But as long as the Japanese nation doesn't give in, those 100,000 troops still can't be mobilized!"

"Changluo, our Dongyi don't have that much time to drag this out!" Yelü Abaoji said worriedly.

Yelü Abaoji was also a smart man, and he also knew that if the Han Dynasty were allowed to take over their Liao Dynasty, the development path of the Sun Kingdom would be directly strangled.

Therefore, the Sun Kingdom cannot remain a barrier for them indefinitely.

However, time!

The slower they are, the harder it will be for them to win this battle!

"Your Majesty, you must not think of such a thing, otherwise you will surely become anxious and make a mistake!"

“We can’t afford to waste time. Do you think Matsushita Iso would really dare to keep dragging this out?” Wang Changlu shook his head again.

This is the current situation: the Eastern Barbarians are naturally going to fight to the death to protect themselves, while the Sun Kingdom also hopes that the Eastern Barbarians can survive.

Therefore, the other side did not dare to drag this out indefinitely. If it dragged on to the point of defeat for the Eastern Yi, did they really think that the Great Han would allow the Sun Kingdom to continue to occupy Nanping Road?
“Ahem… Your Majesty, perhaps I should go and make a trip!” A pale-faced man in his late twenties stepped forward and spoke up. This man was none other than Mingfeng Xiao Beiming.

Upon hearing this person speak, both Yelü Abaoji and Wang Changluo showed expressions of worry.

Xiao Beiming's body had a congenital problem. They had tried all sorts of rare and precious treasures, and they had also sought help from famous doctors throughout the world.

However, there was still nothing that could be done about his health.

It was precisely because of the other party's physical condition that he was only given a nominal position among the Eastern Yi, and did not truly wield real power like Wang Changluo.

After all, his physical condition simply couldn't support such a high-intensity workload. And real power and positions require real, concrete actions.

Not long ago, Xiao Beiming had just suffered a serious illness and had not yet fully recovered. If he were to be made to work hard and travel around at this time, Yelü Abaoji and Wang Changluo were unsure whether his body could withstand it.

"Your Majesty, our Great Liao is now at a critical juncture of life and death. How can we continue to cherish our lives here!"

"On the battlefield, how many soldiers have sacrificed their lives? Bei Ming is merely an envoy. If he is even stingy with himself in this matter, how can he face General Lu Fa and the others who died in battle?" Seemingly understanding the worry in Yelü Abaoji's eyes, Xiao Bei Ming comforted them.

His body is so healthy that every extra day he lives is a bonus.

In fact, if he were from a slightly less powerful family, he wouldn't have lasted this long with his current physical condition.
