Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1906 Goblin Lieutenant
After the expeditionary force's crushing defeat, the fear of the future led the conservatives to hurl increasingly harsh criticisms.

This caused Dico, who was kneeling below, to unconsciously clench his fists.

He still had feelings for the goblin general, after all, he had followed him for so many years.

At that time, the goblin general chose to commit suicide by swallowing a bullet and die for his country; there was nothing more to say about him.

He surrendered immediately afterward out of respect for his own life, but that doesn't mean he had no feelings for the goblin general.

Hearing the conservatives' insults against the general, he was instantly enraged.

However, Dico knew that his status was different now, and it was not convenient for him to speak at the moment.

During this time, upon learning of the goblin general's suicide, the goblin king on the throne went completely blank and remained in shock for a long time.

Later, probably feeling that the conservatives' insults were too harsh, coupled with the noise at the scene, the goblin king, who had just heard the bad news, became increasingly irritable.

"Shut up, everyone!!!"

The goblin king's roar plunged the scene into deathly silence.

The goblin king had always been relatively mild-mannered, and his easygoing nature led many ministers to underestimate him, and they had never seen him roar or lose his temper.

The sudden outbreak of the conflict truly startled the goblin ministers who were arguing heatedly at the scene.

At this moment, the goblin king was breathing rapidly, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked just like a gambler who had lost everything.

Then, as if remembering something, his gaze fell on Dico.

"Then why are you back?"

Upon hearing this, the other goblin ministers also realized what was happening.

Yeah! Why is this guy back?!

After the army's defeat, the goblin soldiers at the front were either killed in battle or captured. You think Dico could cross the desert and return to the kingdom independently without logistical support? They would never believe it!

Not to mention, judging from Dico's appearance, he's in pretty good shape, which makes it even more outrageous.

Dico did not hide this fact.

"I have already surrendered to the Great Zhou. I am here as an envoy of the Great Zhou to persuade them to surrender!"

As soon as he said this, all the goblins present, including the goblin king, looked at him with hostility.

Sensing the change in the atmosphere around him, Dico unconsciously tensed up and immediately emphasized...

"My current identity is that of an envoy of the Great Zhou! You all had better think this through!"

The goblins were all stunned when they heard this.

Seeing that he had stunned the person opposite him, Dico quickly added another sentence.

"The Great Zhou army will soon reach the border. If anything happens to me, it will be tantamount to declaring war on the Great Zhou! At that time, the army will launch an attack immediately!"

Dico's words were like a heavy hammer blow to the hearts of the goblins present, making them feel a tightness in their chests and even making it difficult to breathe.

For a time, no one dared to make any rash moves.

Because they all knew very well that, with the expeditionary force defeated, they no longer had the strength to fight another battle against the Great Zhou.

However, this did not prevent the group of goblin ministers present from verbally reprimanding Dico...

"You traitor! Don't you have any shame?!"

The goblin ministers were filled with righteous indignation at these words, but Dico, who was already mentally prepared, simply ignored them. Having accepted this mission and taken this position, being scolded was inevitable.

Let them scold him now. Compared to a reduced sentence, it doesn't matter. Anyway, neither the king nor his ministers dare to do anything to him now.

At this moment, Dico calmly looked at the goblin king, still addressing him respectfully as 'Your Majesty the King'.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision. The military strength of the Great Zhou has completely surpassed that of our country. Even if our army were still here, we would have little chance of winning. There is no way to fight now. If we continue to resist, more of our people will only be sacrificed!"

As the goblin general's adjutant, he was quite capable.

From a wartime perspective, he had a clear understanding of the situation.

Faced with Diko's blunt words, the goblin king felt as if his spine had been ripped out, collapsing onto his throne, completely overwhelmed by an indescribable sense of powerlessness.

His gaze fell upon the group of ministers below.

The goblin ministers all wore uncertain expressions, and instinctively looked away the moment their eyes met the goblin king's.

Should we discuss this with the ministers again?

No, what's there to discuss about this?
The goblin kingdom is now at its wit's end. What choice do they have? To fight the Great Zhou to the death?

The goblin king himself knew that there weren't many tough guys in their goblin race.

"We surrender."

Those four simple words seemed to have exhausted all his strength when he said them.

The moment they received this answer, the conservative goblin ministers standing below breathed a sigh of relief.

Dico was not too surprised by the result.

"Okay, I will take this message back."

After saying that, Dico did not turn around and leave immediately, but strode over to a goblin minister.

At that moment, the goblin minister was keeping his head down, trying to minimize his presence and avoid the king's gaze, until he realized that Dico had walked up to him.

The goblin minister looked up, his mind filled with doubt.

Before he could think any further, Dico delivered a powerful headbutt, slamming it hard into the goblin minister's head with a loud thud.

It was a headbutt that was delivered without reservation, and blood even spurted from Dico's forehead.

The heavy sound made all the goblins present feel a jolt in their hearts.

The goblin minister who was hit hard by the headbutt rolled his eyes back and fell backward uncontrollably, sprawling on the ground, completely unconscious from the impact.

During this time, Dico, whose head was covered in blood, was in excruciating pain.

But after taking a deep breath, he still hurled a vicious curse at the other person.

"What right do you have to insult the general?!"

After saying that, he spat at the other person and left without looking back, leaving the goblin king and his ministers standing there looking at each other in bewilderment.

Afterwards, Dico successfully delivered the news that the king had announced his surrender and was willing to submit to the Great Zhou to Wei Qing, who had already led his army to the outskirts of the goblin kingdom.

Listening to Dico's report, Wei Qing's gaze swept over the other man's forehead. It seemed that the envoy he had sent had his head cracked open, but since the other man wouldn't say, he was too lazy to ask any more questions.

"Very good, I will help you get a reduced sentence later."
