Chapter 74 Bloody Road: War⑤

After hearing the emperor's voice, Zhao Yanxiang snapped his fingers and said, "We'll talk later! You take a rest first!"

Before the chief of staff had time to say anything, the scene in front of him had turned into a large bedroom with four walls.

Not long after hiding the chief of staff, Zhao Yanxiang looked at the door that was pushed open and said: "Your Majesty really has a leisurely mind! Isn't he?"

The emperor who opened the door looked at Zhao Yanxiang and said, "That's natural! Gu is finally no longer a low-level creature!"

After a moment of silence, Zhao Yanxiang said: "Okay! Your Majesty is here at this time... Is he here to have a heart-to-heart talk with me?"

The emperor was silent for a moment and then said: "Say it straight! What Gu promised! Gu personally brought it to you!"

Zhao Yanxiang looked at 'Yu Ji' being pushed forward by the guards and said, "A gift? This is really thoughtful! But..."

The emperor turned his head to look at 'You Ji' and said: "Isn't Mr. Zhao dissatisfied? This is..."

Zhao Yanxiang waved his hand and said: "I'm not a child! Stop playing tricks like this! Your Majesty... This is like this between allies! But it's very hurtful! Isn't it?"

The emperor hesitated for a moment and then said: "I know! Okay... I admit it! This kind of trick is meaningless!"

Zhao Yanxiang looked at 'You Ji' while drinking tea and said, "What are you going to use her for? A toy? Or a weapon to defeat the morale of the kingdom?"

The emperor hesitated for a moment and then said: "Gu Ye can't say! But...another staff officer suggested that Gu be on guard against you..."

Zhao Yanxiang was silent for a moment and then said: "Is that the man in the black and white sportswear? You can guard against me... After all, there has never been an eternal ally in this world! Isn't it?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said: "Although there are no eternal allies! But there are stubborn fools! Isn't there? Mr. Zhao!"

Zhao Yanxiang thought for a moment and then said: "Whatever you think! By the way! Regarding the Kingdom's team... Why hasn't it been cleared up yet?"

The emperor was silent for a long time and then said: "There is a group of people who cannot be killed! They are secretly supporting the kingdom!"

Zhao Yanxiang sighed helplessly and said: "Players? Players again... They really take the trouble!"

After hearing what Zhao Yanxiang said, the emperor said: "I think it's time for Mr. Zhao to take action! Isn't it? After all, you are familiar with them!"

Zhao Yanxiang and the emperor looked at each other for a moment and then said: "Are you familiar? Okay... I'll do a little bit of work! (Disappear)"

Half an hour later, in the secret room, Zhao Yanxiang looked at the chief of staff who had fallen asleep due to exhaustion and said, "You brave man! Why bother!"

As soon as Zhao Yanxiang finished speaking, a shadow appeared behind Zhao Yanxiang and said, "I found it! But! There are too many players! It's hard to catch!"

Zhao Yanxiang was silent for a moment and then said: "It is indeed a troublesome matter! But... I plan to use the kingdom's military power!"

Shadow froze for a moment and said: "The military power of the kingdom? Seriously? Aren't we their enemies? They..."

Zhao Yanxiang was silent for a moment and then said: "Of course they won't do what I say! But... we can lure them to follow the route we want!"

Shadow was stunned for a while and then said: "Bait? But... what are you going to use to lure the royal army?"

Zhao Yanxiang was silent for a moment and then said: "In the princess' impression... the ministers who have not died suddenly appear! Then tell them... there is a way to end this war!"

Shadow was stunned for a while and then said: "Should we build a fake scene? Or use the ruins?"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yanxiang said: "We are building a site! As for the ruins... clean it up!"

Shadow nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go to the construction site right now! (Disappears)"

Zhao Yanxiang was silent for a long time and then said: "A storm is coming? No! It was a trap from the beginning! The kingdom has no chance of coming back... unless a miracle happens!"

At the same time, in a moving ship, Izana looked at the princess and said, "Your Highness! We have found Harold's trace!"

Yuji was stunned for a moment and then said: "Where is Harold? Have you found anyone else? And..."

Izana shook his head and said, "Except for Harold! We found no trace of anyone else!"

Yuki said with a sad face: "What's going on? Why doesn't Harold come back to join us?"

Izana took out a notebook and said, "The reason is written in the note I picked up! (Hands out the note)"

Yuki took the note and looked at it for a long time before saying: "You can close the green orange! But...it's autumn now! If we forcibly close the green orange... how will the people of the kingdom spend the winter?"

Just as Izana was about to speak, an intelligence officer walked up to Izana and handed over a piece of information and said, "Look at it... (whispers) It's best not to let Princess Yuki see it!"

Izana was stunned for a while and then said: "I know! I will handle it! (Check the information)"

After a while, Izana's hand holding the information was full of veins and said at the same time: "Princess! I have something to deal with! I'm sorry!"

Yuuki looked suspiciously at the back of the murderous Izana and asked, "Who knows? What happened?"

Yuji looked at the shaking heads around her for a moment and then sighed: "Why do I feel like you are hiding something from me!"

Yuki took the note and put it down and said: "I hope... hmm? What is this? (picks up the dropped objects in the notebook)"

In the war room on the ship at the same time, Izana roared and said, "Don't hesitate! Look at what the empire has done!"

An auxiliary officer was silent for a moment and then said: "We have to fight back... Sorry! Although it is too much to say! But we no longer have enough teams to fight back! (Open the combat map)"

Izana gritted his teeth and was silent for a moment before saying, "Tell me about it! The current battle situation! And the movements of the Imperial Army!"

The assistant officer was silent for a moment and then said: "Okay! The First and Third Legions are still in place! The Second Army seems to have added new equipment... It has been using the people of the kingdom as fuel."

With a bang, Izana wiped his bleeding fist nonchalantly and let out a long breath.

The assistant officer looked at Izana and said after being silent for a moment: "Do you want to give me some time, sir? Your mood is not suitable for command!"

Izana covered his forehead and said, "Sorry! I lost my composure...You continue!"

The auxiliary officer nodded and said: "The remaining residents of the kingdom are now incalculable! With all the peripheral areas occupied by the empire...the remaining states have begun to secretly transfer!"

After hesitating for a moment, Izana said: "Your Highness the Princess doesn't know about this matter... you must block the news from the Princess!"

The auxiliary officer nodded and said: "Now there is a thorny problem! The ship is running out of fuel..."
