Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

"The problem is that there's no other way right now. You were living a good life back then, and it was he who directly expelled you, without a doubt. The reason is that he was the ambitious one. And before that, when your father worked with him, he said that one day they would leave this region. Later, after you took the throne, you adopted that seemingly cynical approach."

What angered the old village chief most was that this person had not insisted on carrying out the original plan. Therefore, the old emperor gave the impression of being somewhat timid and hesitant.

"Actually, I'm not really confused. Do you think I don't understand their true intentions? But the problem is, I can't do that. You should all understand what's most important to me? It's peace. I only wish for everyone to live and work in peace. I have absolutely no interest in what they're talking about now."

So sometimes, conflicts are that simple, to the point that everyone simply can't continue. This kind of situation is a rather thorny problem for everyone.

"Anyway, when I was overthrown, the old village chief said he wouldn't treat me as a prisoner, but would let me fend for myself. Fortunately, these followers have always stayed by my side."

In fact, after this incident, the old emperor's resolve gradually hardened. If he were to regain power, he would certainly eliminate the old village chief first.

"Also, if it really comes to that, what will you think? After all, you and he had a past relationship."

"This person has nothing to do with me anymore. How you want to deal with him is your business."

The old lady now only hopes that this kind of trouble will stop. If they can live in harmony, she will be truly grateful.

While many things have indeed turned out differently than expected, the key question remains: what should be done next? This battle is still shrouded in numerous unsolved mysteries.

First, the situation on the main battlefield changed again. The tyrant suddenly realized that he was now isolated and helpless.

"What happened? Our army has lost 70% of its strength?"

“That’s right! Because you have been demanding that we continue to attack, without giving the troops any chance to rest, and the enemy is also constantly rotating and deploying reserve forces, now... although it is difficult to confirm, we really cannot break through that steel-like defensive line.”

One of the generals felt utterly powerless at that moment, and was so angry that he fell ill.

Even at this point, the tyrant still hadn't grasped the crucial point and relentlessly ordered the attack to continue. This time, all the generals and ministers opposed it.

"Do you want our country to end up with not even an army left? If these troops can preserve their strength, they might be able to slowly regroup. To be honest, we have already lost this battle."

"Exactly! We've paid too high a price for that vanity. Besides, surely humanity won't completely wipe us out?"

"That being said, we must keep fighting until we are completely defeated. Because if we stop now, humanity will definitely find a way to wipe us out completely."

The ministers and generals argued incessantly, mainly because they themselves were worried about the consequences of what was to come for the entire country.

The tyrant, slumped in his chair, was bewildered and had no idea what he was doing.

"Now someone has to make a decision."

In desperation, the tyrant hastily wrote a letter to the old village chief, hoping that in this critical moment, only he could lend a helping hand.

The old village chief meant that they still needed to seize the opportunity, and it was clear from the contents of the letter that the tyrant hoped he could come out of seclusion and help.

"Heh, they finally remembered me at this crucial moment. Just reply to them and tell them I won't get involved."

The tyrant, having reached a dead end, was completely at a loss.

In this situation, the tyrant had no idea what to do next. If things continued like this, the situation would become extremely difficult. The key issue was that the remaining 30% of the army was now completely demoralized and was no longer the valiant force it once was. Although everyone was still making final preparations, the strategy they emphasized for safety was completely different, and from now on, no one would be able to provide support in critical moments.

"It seems we have really lost completely. If we continue like this, we may end up losing everything."

The key issue is that fighting now is problematic, but not fighting is also problematic.

"Let's call a ceasefire."

There was truly no other way; the army had only this many troops left, so this was the only option. Sure enough, the situation changed today, and Jiang Chuan was greatly shocked upon learning of it—why the fighting suddenly stopped?
"What should we do now? Continue the offensive, or hold back for the time being?"

Therefore, Jiang Chuan first called his superiors to ask for instructions.

"Let's not rush things. Perhaps the enemy is making tactical adjustments. If they still don't make any moves within three days, we'll go and investigate."

"understand!"

Actually, these three days were mainly to make room for the old lady. At the same time, the delegation also received instructions from their superiors.

Thus, the second round of negotiations officially began.

"I have good news for everyone: under our continued artillery fire, the tyrant's army has now been reduced to only 30% of its strength. This is the latest intelligence we have obtained so far, and rest assured, the source is absolutely reliable."

At this moment, Xu Fei happily told everyone about it, but the old emperor noticed something amiss.

Who would have thought that the tyrant's army would be so easily defeated? If he could have held out a little longer, he might have gained some leverage in negotiations.

"So what are your intentions?"

"Our proposal remains the same. We hope you can join the Federation. After all, once you join this organization, many things can be handled collaboratively, instead of having to plan things out individually as we do now. Besides, you may not be clear about the role of the Federation."

Therefore, Xu Fei had no choice but to explain the various operating mechanisms of the Federation from beginning to end, and to illustrate to everyone that humanity's several victories were inseparable from the cooperation among the members of the organization.

"I hope you will think carefully about where humanity stands in the universe and even in space. Are we really that powerful? Actually, no. Humanity's current level of civilization is still very low."

"Therefore, we hope everyone can work together. The federation exists to unite people, not to satisfy the selfish desires of any individual."...

In other words, the pressure from everyone might cause even bigger problems, but the focus now is on how to truly solve the problem. If it does indeed cause more trouble for everyone, then the outcome will be completely different.

"it is good!"

At this moment, everyone smiled.

If we can truly help everyone resolve their problems right now, that would be ideal. And if they have such a condition, everyone needs to work hard on their own.

"Let's set aside these matters for now. As I said before, I believe Mr. Jiang will echo the same sentiment upon his arrival. This so-called alliance should not be viewed as a monstrous threat; its emergence merely signifies the advancement of civilization." (End of Chapter)
