After the immortal disappeared
#1997 - Verbal sparring
For such a major event that concerns the national economy and people's livelihood, shouldn't you issue a notice and make preparations for the replacement and handover before you take action?
It was blocked just like that, why was there no warning at all?
Do you want us to just starve to death?
The people of Shanjin were very tough. Some city and county government offices were immediately besieged by civilians, who angrily demanded why their livelihoods were suddenly cut off.
The second order issued by King Peleus was to recruit a large number of soldiers to prepare for war and "defend the homeland", and to gather an army of 30,000 within two months.
The state of Pei bordered Peleu, and the news was first heard by the king of Pei.
Situ He felt heavy in his heart: "He suddenly targeted Yang Shan to express his stance to the gods."
The behavior of Peleus is a gesture. It has already chosen a side and made its own choice.
What if it completely turns to the gods, what will the Allies do?
The alliance led by the Situ family had a loose relationship between members. Apart from sending troops to Pixia and watching over each other, there were few mandatory obligations. The Peleu Kingdom did not need to report to Situ He which god it would worship.
But the Great Emperor Jiuyou has already announced to the world that he will never coexist with the gods. If the Dragon God Army wants to attack the Peleus Kingdom, will the Allies stop them?
No, there is an agreement among the allied forces to watch over and help each other;
Stop it? What a joke! It’s impossible to stop it!
Situ He knew even more that since King Peleus had made up his mind, he would be very aggressive today.
Does this guy have bad intentions towards him as the leader? Will he...?
At this time, someone outside sang:
"King Peleus has arrived—"
King Peleu strode over, his eyes swept over everyone, and as usual, he saluted to Situ He: "Marshal Situ!"
Situ He stood up and returned the greeting.
"Now that everyone is here, let's hurry up and start discussing matters." Situ He sat down. "King Peleus, this meeting was initiated by you. Do you have any important information to share with us in person?"
"Before we talk about the intelligence, there is one more thing." King Peleu took out a letter, "The head of Bisha once again requested peace."
Situ He said calmly: "They haven't given up yet?"
King Peleu said sternly, "I know that Marshal Situ has a national hatred with them, but after General Chongwu returned to Pisha, we have failed to capture the capital several times, and the army was forced to retreat 80 miles. There is no point in dragging it out any longer."
Before Situ He could speak, the leader of the Kan tribe followed up: "It has been two years. Everyone present here knows the sufferings. The war has left the people impoverished and the country depleted. Now the external environment has suddenly changed, and there is an imminent crisis. The war against Pisha should not continue."
This statement is really the voice of the leaders present. They all have hatred and grievances with Pisha, but how can there be so many "desperate" in the world? Economy, people's livelihood, and governance are the top priorities for them as rulers. If they fight for several years without any results, and it drags on until their own treasury is empty, people are living in poverty, and even their own rule is shaken, then this hatred can be put aside for a while, ten years is not too late.
Besides, the most terrifying invader on the Shining Golden Plains is no longer Bisha, but Emperor Jiuyou!
King Peleus pointed to the letter from the Bisha people and said, "The letter said that if the allied forces immediately withdraw their troops and stop the war, Bisha will pay one million silver taels and five cities."
The conditions were upgraded. Originally, the Bisha people were only willing to pay three cities and 500,000 taels of silver as compensation.
"Marshal Situ, you said half a year ago that Pisha would not last until spring." The Yutu leader pointed his chin outward, "Now, the peach blossoms are about to bloom."
"General Chongwu has returned, but Pisha is still asking for peace, and is so urgent. Doesn't that mean it can't hold on any longer?" Situ He looked at King Peleus. "War is all about who can outlast the enemy?"
"Could it be that Pisha wants to end the war early because he is afraid of the Nine Nether Emperor, leaving some reserves to deal with the upcoming crisis?" King Peleus smiled. "Marshal Situ is the only one who doesn't care about the threat of the Nine Nether Emperor at all."
In fact, the issue of whether to continue the war against Bisha has been debated five or six times at regular meetings.
Situ He also had a way to change the subject: "I heard that there is a lot of construction going on in Peleu, and temples of the God of Hundred Wars are being built everywhere? Could this be the main god assigned to you by the Lingxu people?"
King Peleus did not shy away from saying, "Yes, Peleus has been favored by the God of War, and will usher in the first true god in the Allied Territory!"
His face was full of pride, knowing that everyone must be envious of Peleus.
The Shining Gold Plains was filled with various minor gods, but the high and mighty Lingxu gods had only favored the Yao Kingdom and never looked at the Allied Forces. The Situ family had tried in vain for so long, but Baizhantian's favor was given to the Peleu Kingdom.
And that was Bai Zhantian, one of the true gods of Lingxu. What a great honor!
For a moment, the two major cities of Peleliu were decorated with lights and full of joy.
"The favor of the gods doesn't come without reason." Situ He said quietly, "What price do you have to pay and what conditions do you have to agree to in order to win the favor of the Hundred Battles God?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
King Peleus snorted, "When Miaozhan Tian's grace rewarded Yao Kingdom, he didn't offer any conditions."
"You said it the other way around." The King of Yanguo spoke up, "Yaoguo originally believed in Kshatriyas, and Miaozhantian wanted to snatch it away. It was Miaozhantian who wanted to benefit Yaoguo! Besides, the Great Emperor Jiuyou openly attacked the power of the gods in Shanjin, but you invited the God of Hundred Battles now instead of earlier. Aren't you setting a target for the Great Emperor Jiuyou?"
King Pei sighed: "Then we will be implicated."
King Peleus's eyebrows almost stood up: "Ha, ha ha! Do you really think that the gods can't deal with the arrogant Emperor Jiuyou?"
Prince Pei was about to retort, but Situ He quickly raised his hand and said, "Stop, stop!"
This is also a common topic of debate at Allied meetings. Every time it is brought up, there will be a debate about it, and the debate will never end, so the meeting will be in vain.
"Let's get down to business. King Peleus, where is your important information?"
King Peleus took out a letter from his bosom and slammed it on the table:
“Here!”
Situ He reached out to take it, but King Peleu stopped him: "Wait, let others take a look first."
Prince Baoxin, who was closest to the letter, took it.
Upon seeing this, his brows furrowed more and more tightly, and he looked up at Situ He from time to time, making the latter feel nervous.
Situ He didn't see the contents of the letter, but the brown envelope with a black frame and the light blue paper looked very familiar.
It looks very much like the letter paper used in Situ Mansion!
