Chapter 597: Newco Empire Loses Five Cities in a Row

"Grand Duke Wendren, what do you think?"

Emperor Gebre knew that this old minister was not a war advocate, but he still wanted to hear his opinion.

"Your Majesty, if Zhang Xing attacks Kespu Town, Jiuhui Town, At Town, Luke Town, and Lanmei Town and crosses the Zani River, the entire empire will be in chaos."

"The four vassal states in the east, west, south and north will be separated, and we cannot mobilize 5 million troops."

"And Zhang Xing will summon all the monsters in the Donggu Ring Mountain Range with five towns and one river, and the number will be at least 50 million."

"In addition, there are seventh-level monsters in the Ash Mountain Range on Agaman Island of my empire. The monsters on Aman Island are all poisonous, and the Ash Mountain is full of lava beasts."

"As long as there are monsters on this continent, they will be an inexhaustible source of troops for Zhang Xing."

Having said this, Grand Duke Wendren closed his mouth again and said no more, but the meaning was clear. Whether His Majesty the Emperor would adopt it or not was not something he could control.

After hearing this statement, everyone fell silent, and the glimmer of hope that had just risen was shattered again.

In a blink of an eye, a night passed, and at dawn, they still hadn't discussed a clear plan.

Gebre ordered people to prepare breakfast, and dozens of people ate hastily and continued the meeting.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, the front-line express was delivered to the palace.

Marshal Spark opened the letter and saw that his face suddenly changed.

"Your Majesty, I, the commander of Sipu Town, Didangs, reported that Zhang Xing led the army of monsters to attack at midnight last night. I led the army to fight bravely. At about one o'clock, Sipu Town fell."

"I, Didangs, apologize with my death! Knock on the head!"

"What? The first important town was conquered in one hour? Is the city wall more than 20 meters high just for decoration?"

Gebre was shocked.

"Report... front-line express!"

While they were shocked, the messenger outside the palace sent another letter.

"Your Majesty! At three o'clock this morning, Zhang Xing led the monster army to conquer our Jiuhui Town..."

"Report...Front-line battle report!"

"Your Majesty! At six o'clock this morning, Zhang Xing led the monster army to conquer our Ate Town..."

It took only the second half of the night to conquer three towns in succession. Are these monsters so powerful?

Are our cities made of paper?

Are all the generals old, weak, sick and disabled?

A layer of fear began to shroud the clouds of worry in the parliament hall.

They were all afraid. Zhang Xing was going to hit the imperial capital, Kodenburg, in one breath.

Judging from his attack speed, he could reach the imperial capital in seven days.

Everyone looked at Gebre.

"Your Majesty, make a decision quickly. We don't have much time."

"Your Majesty, I think we can't continue fighting. We should... seek peace!"

"Seek peace? You're dreaming. If you have such power in your hands, will you stop?"

"What if we don't seek peace? Ah, what do you say? Are we all going to die?"

"..."

The people who usually trembled in front of Gebre and dared not breathe, did not care about the emperor's majesty when facing the life-and-death moment, and they all quarreled.

"Enough!"

Gebre roared, his face gloomy and terrible.

"Send an order, Codenburg prepares for war, summons the garrisons of Luke Town and Lanmei Town to retreat to the Zani River and fight along the river!"

In the blink of an eye, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and the battle report from the front line arrived again, and the battle reports from Luke Town and Lanmei Town arrived at the same time.

"At 8 a.m., Luke Town fell, and all the soldiers were killed."

"At 10 a.m., Lanmei Town fell, and all the soldiers were killed."

"Ah!"

Gebrey roared and tore up two battle reports.

He regretted why he was so obsessed and had to go against Zhang Xing. Why didn't he learn from the experience of his ancestors who died because of greed and be his emperor quietly.
