Dragon's Origin

Chapter 540: The Dilemma of Two Countries (Part 1)

"It's not called the Shanyue area anymore, it's called the Shanyue Kingdom." Mei'er's face dimmed slightly when Wang Sheng mentioned Baoqing Yu Tang and the Shanyue area, but she quickly returned to normal and corrected Wang Sheng's misunderstanding.

"The Emperor gave them face and agreed to grant them land and establish a kingdom?" Wang Sheng asked with some surprise.

"No!" Mei'er shook her head and said, "However, everyone now recognizes them as the Shanyue Kingdom, not the barbarians of Baoqing Yu Tang and the Shanyue area."

Before Mei'er could explain in detail, Wang Sheng pondered for a moment and understood Mei'er's meaning. The various countries had fought with Baoqing Yu Tang, and probably hadn't gained much advantage. If they stubbornly refused to acknowledge them as a national force and only recognized them as a chain business, Baoqing Yu Tang, the countries probably couldn't afford to lose face, so they simply acknowledged that area as the Shanyue Kingdom.

"Because of face?" Despite this guess, Wang Sheng still asked.

"It seems so." Mei'er also smiled wryly. Isn't that the mentality of the various countries?

"They definitely couldn't gain any advantage inside the Thousand Absolute Land, could it be that the countries outside suffered a great defeat?" Wang Sheng became more curious and pressed on with his questions.

"Anyway, the situation is not good!" Mei'er didn't say too much, but a "situation is not good" already explained a lot: "Both the Qiu Kingdom and the Xia Kingdom are a bit overwhelmed."

"The people of the Shanyue Kingdom no longer call Zhu, the old shopkeeper, the King; it is said that they all call him the Divine Envoy." These words were spoken by Qiangwei. Some words were not easy for Mei'er to say, so Qiangwei said them.

After all, Mei'er had some affection for Zhu, the old shopkeeper of Baoqing Yu Tang, and it was understandable that she didn't want to speak ill of him. Wang Sheng didn't mind, he just wanted to know the current situation.

"That's no wonder!" Wang Sheng was still wondering how the two major principalities could not suppress Baoqing Yu Tang, but as soon as he heard the title of Divine Envoy, he understood everything.

Zhu Xingsheng was using religious methods to control those barbarian tribes. Those barbarian tribes were originally simple-minded but physically outstanding guys. Even practicing mediocre cultivation methods could produce hundreds of legendary experts. In addition, they were hypnotized by Zhu Xingsheng's religion, which could be described as stronger and stronger.

Under normal circumstances, in the same situation, one-on-one, I am afraid that they cannot confront a religious hypnotized madman, not to mention such a madman is the entire Shanyue Kingdom?

Back on Earth, those soldiers who were hypnotized by theBoxers with invulnerability to swords and spears dared to charge towards machine gun positions while shouting slogans. The Qiu Kingdom and the Xia Kingdom in this world did not have such powerful weapons as machine guns.

Thousands of madmen rushed up with red eyes, and even the pinnacle experts of the legendary realm would be afraid. These guys are not afraid of death at all, and every move is to perish together with you, who can bear it for normal experts?

Without being forced to the point of national destruction, who would be willing to fight with madmen among those experts who are usually respected? It is not difficult to imagine falling behind in these months.

"I see." Wang Sheng gently stroked Qiangwei's waist twice with his hand, and then asked, "How bad is it now?"

"A dozen cities in the Qiu Kingdom were attacked by experts from the Shanyue Kingdom, suffering heavy losses." Mei'er took over and replied: "The Shanyue Kingdom now has flying mounts, which are impossible to defend against. As long as there are not many experts stationed in each city, they will definitely be attacked. No amount of defense is useful."

For the countries now, flying mounts are simply like invisible bombers, entering the airspace of the countries as if entering an uninhabited area. To put it bluntly, they can land wherever they want. Isn't this equivalent to the United States' war against Iraq in the Gulf War? Without air supremacy, people can do whatever they want.

Zhu Xingsheng really had vision, and he could see that flying mounts had such a future. I don't know how many gold coins and years he invested to accumulate a flying mount team. This matter was so secretive that even Mei'er, who was in charge of Baoqing Yu Tang at the time, didn't know about it. His scheming is evident.

Unfortunately, Zhu Xingsheng's only shortcoming was that he did not educate his son well. The old man was so cunning, but the young master Zhu who was born was actually a good-for-nothing.

"There must be spies from Baoqing Yu Tang in those attacked cities." Wang Sheng directly made an affirmative judgment: "Otherwise, they would not know which city has many experts and which city has few experts."

"That's for sure." Mei'er also agreed with this point: "Baoqing Yu Tang was also a big business with branches all over the world back then, so it was easy to arrange a few spies."

"Were these cities severely damaged?" Wang Sheng asked: "Did they only kill people from Qiu, or did they kill everyone in the city?"

"At first, they only killed the Qiu family's resisting experts." Speaking of this, Mei'er's face became ugly again: "But later, after being ambushed once, they began to kill those guys regardless of their identity. When the time was up, they took the flying mounts to leave, and the Qiu Kingdom has died thousands of people in total."

Wang Sheng was not surprised. This method of controlling believers by relying on cult methods will inevitably lead to extremes in the end, indiscriminately killing innocent people and becoming terrorists hated by gods and people.

"The Qiu family is busy dealing with this elusive attack, and has given up those dozen cities that have been attacked. At least the remaining manpower is enough to defend the territory." Mei'er continued: "But that's all. Originally, the Qiu Kingdom and the Shanyue Kingdom were separated by several countries, and they couldn't reach the Shanyue Kingdom at all, so they were overwhelmed."

Wang Sheng could fully imagine how overwhelmed the Qiu Kingdom is now. They can't attack and can't defend. It is estimated that the King of Qiu must have a headache now.

They deserve it! Wang Sheng cursed secretly in his heart.

"They deserve it!" Mei'er next to him seemed to be telepathic with Wang Sheng, and also said the word deserve it: "If they hadn't used tricks to plot against Duke(公爷: duke), would they have ended up like this? Deserved!"

The most direct hatred between Baoqing Yu Tang and the Qiu Kingdom was because the elders of the Qiu Kingdom instigated Zhu Shaodong to cause trouble for Wang Sheng in Tongxing City, trying to force Wang Sheng to agree to cooperate. As a result, because of Zhu Shaodong's clumsy performance, Wang Sheng was angry and gave the business of cooperating with Baoqing Yu Tang to Yu Baozhai.

Later, although it was rumored that the old shopkeeper killed Zhu Shaodong, that was a rumor, but the hatred between Baoqing Yu Tang and the Qiu Kingdom fell at that time.

Thinking of this, Mei'er hated it so much. Both sides were people related to her. Originally, she had already completed most of the matchmaking, but it was completely destroyed by the Qiu family. Mei'er has never had a good impression of the Qiu family, and wished the Qiu family would be more unlucky.

"What about the Xia family?" Wang Sheng pondered for a while, always feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't pay much attention, and then asked.
