When Samira returned to Peshawar, the words he used were exactly the same as what he had said to Draven.

It was after he was taken to Malacanda that he escaped while the people of the Dragon Kingdom were not prepared.

No one expected that today he would change his words, saying that the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom had let him come back.

Noticing that Drizzt and the others had become vigilant, Samira sighed and said slowly,

"It's not that I don't want to tell the truth, but if I tell the truth, will His Majesty spare me?"

When everyone thinks about it carefully, they are right.

With Bo Tiao's character, even if he didn't kill Samira, he would be dismissed.

"Then why did the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom let you go?"

Drizzt's expression softened a lot, and he was puzzled.

"According to what the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom said, he actually doesn't intend to start a war with us."

Samira explained,

"It's entirely because our Majesty wants to stand up for Prince Paya of the Dawan Kingdom and force the Dragon Kingdom to retreat from Dawan. This angered the Dragon Kingdom Emperor and turned into today's situation."

Drizzt's heart moved, as if he wanted to understand something,
"You mean, as long as we overthrow His Majesty, the people of Long Kingdom will retreat?"

"more or less."

Samira nodded and said in a deep voice,
"However, according to the character of the people of the Dragon Kingdom, at least we have to cede Khwarazimo, and we must bow down to the Dragon Empire."

Drizzt and other Guishuang officials fell into deep thought.

It is not difficult to bow down to the Dragon Empire.

After all, many years ago, their ancestors, the Da Yuezhi, also bowed their heads to the Huns and the great Han successively.

Now it is normal for them to regard the Dragon Empire as the main one.

As for Khwarazmo, the people there have always been obsessed with the empire, and rebellions often occur.

The empire also fought several wars with the Parthians because of the ownership of Khwarazmo.

Hualazimo is more like chicken ribs.

If you cede it to the Dragon Empire, just cede it!
Thinking of this, Drizzt looked at the others,
"I think Samira's proposal is good, what do you think?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and nodded in unison.

Due to the successive disastrous defeats of Swain, Darius, and Draven, Guishuang is now pessimistic about the war with the Dragon Empire.

Instead of being heavily taxed by Bodiao, he was eventually defeated by the Dragon Empire.

It would be better to overthrow Bodiao as Samira said, and support an emperor who represents the interests of the nobles to come to power, and then make peace with the Dragon Empire.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his proposal, Drizzt was instantly full of confidence.

After all, these people present all hold important official positions in the court.

It will be much easier for them to join hands to overthrow Bo Tiao.

"However, we work together, but we lack troops. What should we do?"

Drizzt frowned and asked a new problem.

"It's easy to say, leave it to me."

Samira knows exactly what to do.

Seeing that he was so confident, everyone stopped talking.

"In order to prevent someone from betraying, how about we sign a covenant and sign it together?"

Drizzt looked at the crowd again and suggested.

"it is good!"

"Just do what Master Drizzt said!"

Everyone agreed with his words.

After drafting the covenant, everyone signed it.

The mutiny against the emperor Bodiao began in secret.

……

Swain's mansion.

"Soldiers are proud of dying on the battlefield. Darius, don't be too sad,"

Swain comforted Darius softly.

"Ah."

Darius nodded heavily, but his expression was still quite heavy.

"Hey, I said at the beginning that if Draven concentrates on defense, there will be no serious problems."

"But I didn't expect that he couldn't bear it in the end and chose to take the initiative."

"After the destruction of the Third Corps, the defense line of the Amu Darya collapsed, and the Dragon Kingdom's army could drive straight in and attack Peshawar."

Although he had been fired from the military by Bodiao, Swain, who was out of work at home, couldn't help but chat with Darius about the military.

"Then how do you think the war will develop in the end?"

Darius asked.

"The ideal is for His Majesty to negotiate a peace with the Dragon Empire and cede land for compensation."

Swain sighed slightly,
"But the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom is ambitious, I'm afraid he won't be satisfied with these."

When the two were frowning, a servant rushed over,
"Master, Lord Samira is asking to see you outside the door."

Hearing that Samira came to visit him, Swain was a little surprised.

After all, now that he had offended Bodiao, it was too late for the officials in Peshawar to draw a line with him, so how could anyone come to visit him.

"Please come in."

After a while, Samira strode in,

"Lord Swain."

"Lord Samira."

The two nodded to each other.

After Samira sat down, Swain laughed,
"I don't know what the Lord Samira is doing. Is she here to drink tea?"

Samira didn't answer in a hurry, but picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and praised,

"Good tea. If I'm not mistaken, it should be tea brought from the Dragon Empire."

"Master Samira guessed right, it is a specialty of the Dragon Empire."

Swain nodded.

Samira put down her teacup and changed the topic,
"I came here today for two things."

"The first thing to do is to tell Lord Swain about the current situation of your thousand direct soldiers."

When Swain was released back to Peshawar by Cao Mao, Cao Mao allowed him to leave with a thousand people.

The thousand soldiers who returned to Bashawar with Swain in the end were all veterans who had followed him since he was a junior officer and had won his trust.

It's a pity that after Swain was dismissed from the military, those people were all sent to Delevingne.

"In the battle of the Amu Darya, those soldiers also died on the battlefield."

Samira sighed.

Swain shook his hand holding the teacup tightly, almost spilling the tea.

Although he had expected it, he still felt a little heartbroken when he thought of those veterans who trusted him and sacrificed like that.

However, in the next second, Samira's words made Swain's face change.

"However, those soldiers did not die heroically, but... were killed."

"Killed?! What do you mean by that!"

Swain raised his head, his eyes instantly became sharp.

"In order to improve the morale of the army and prevent people from escaping again, Lord Delevingne enforced the law of eleven killings among those people."

"And when he raided the Dragon Kingdom's army, he also let the remaining people act as forwards."

"It is said... all of this is His Majesty's intention."

Samira lowered her voice and said slowly.

"what?!"

Swain couldn't believe his ears, he stood up abruptly, staring at Samira intently.

"Master Delevingne told me all these, I absolutely dare not lie to you, Master Swain."

Samira sighed heavily.
