After getting rid of the eunuch, Euthydemus I was in a good mood and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Only then did he notice the general who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.

"What's wrong with you? You weren't the one who died. Why are you so scared? If every general in our country is as afraid of death as you, who will resist the enemy when they invade?"

The smile on Euthydemus I's face disappeared completely at this moment, replaced by a strong murderous intent.

"Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty! I have something important to report!"

After hearing his words and the respectful expression on his face, Euthydemus I waved his hand and looked at him with annoyance.

"You keep saying you have something important to report to me. What is that important? If all you tell me are those trivial matters, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Euthydemus I narrowed his eyes, and his words were full of murderous intent.

After hearing his words, the general immediately got up from the ground.

"Your Majesty! There is... there is an army coming from nowhere! One third of our territory has been occupied!"

The general gasped and said to Euthydemus I with a look of horror.

After hearing his words, Euthydemus I immediately slid down from the throne with a look of horror on his face.

"You...what did you just say there? Do you know? If you lie about military intelligence, I can kill you right now!"

Because the news was too terrifying, Euthydemus I couldn't believe it at all. He immediately stood up from the ground and shouted loudly with a trembling voice.

"Your Majesty! I really am not talking nonsense! I took advantage of the fact that the army had not reacted and disguised myself as a civilian to sneak out of the city. That's when I had the chance to come back and inform Your Majesty!"

"If it weren't for this, I would have died by the enemy's knife long ago!"

The general shook his head, and then spoke to Euthydemus I again in an affirmative tone.

After hearing his words, Euthydemus I widened his eyes and looked at him with horror.

"How many troops are there?"

Upon hearing the news, Euthydemus I paced back and forth in the hall anxiously, then turned around and asked the kneeling general below.

"There are about 5 people."

The general answered his question immediately without any hesitation.

"With only 5 men, you have been routed. What on earth do you do for a living? You usually come to me for food and money, and I have always satisfied your demands. Now, with only 5 men, you can't hold on. What on earth do you do for a living?"

After hearing his words, the general showed bitterness on his face.

On weekdays, those who came to him for food and wages were all high-ranking officials. After they had eaten and drunk everything, they would slip some leftovers from between their fingers to them.

These residues are barely enough for them to survive. As for forming combat effectiveness, it is simply a joke.

But he didn't dare to tell Euthydemus I about these things now, because these things involved the interests of the great nobles. As long as he dared to say these things, after dealing with these foreign troops, it would be time for them to settle the score.

By then, I might suddenly develop a disease and disappear from the face of the earth, or get drunk and fall into the river and drown.

He didn't want to die in such a strange way, he would rather die peacefully of old age.

The general stood there quietly without saying a word. After noticing that Karimov's emotions had stabilized, he slowly opened his mouth and asked.

"Your Majesty! Now that mysterious army is still heading towards the capital. Please make a decision quickly! Otherwise, if that army attacks the capital, it will cause a catastrophic disaster!"

After hearing the general's words, Euthydemus I rubbed his temples and made a wheezing sound like an old cow.

"We still have about 30 troops in our country, and 10 imperial guards in the capital. I will immediately issue an order to have troops from other places rush to support the capital! Immediately strangle this 5-man army!"

Euthydemus I thought about it for a moment, then immediately gave the order.

"Then who should lead these troops, Your Majesty?"

The general knew that it was simply a fantasy for him to command these troops with his own abilities, so he immediately asked this question as he had a clear understanding of his own abilities.

After hearing his words, Euthydemus I also began to think seriously.

The only person capable of commanding these armies in Daxia now is Nurupo, but not long ago, in order to undermine his military power, Euthydemus I dismissed him from his position.

If he were allowed to lead the troops to continue fighting against the foreign troops, and if he succeeded, his prestige would be further enhanced, and all his previous efforts would be in vain.

When he thought of this, Euthydemus I couldn't accept it in his heart.

But if he is not used, when those enemies break through the country's borders, he will easily become a king of a fallen country, which will be even more dangerous.

So at this time Euthydemus I was in a dilemma.

"Back then, under the leadership of my father, the army of our Great Xia country fought in many battles and laid such a great foundation. The vitality and the state of all things are still vivid in my mind."

"In just over 20 years, our Great Xia army has become so weak! No matter how you look at it, the force in the battle is 30 versus 5! The advantage is mine!"

Euthydemus I tapped the table lightly with his hands and muttered to himself. Finally, he raised his head, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and his eyes were fixed on the general in front of him.

"Since you have fought against these armies and have some understanding of them, the task of resisting them this time is left to you!"

When the general heard these words from Euthydemus I, he was stunned where he was.

"Your Majesty! I am not very knowledgeable and I may not be able to take on this important task! Please find someone else, Your Majesty!"

After coming to his senses, the general refused without even thinking.

After all, this is not a lucrative job, but a job that can cost you your life!

When Euthydemus I heard his refusal, his face immediately darkened.

"I am not discussing with you now, but informing you! We have more than 30 troops, while the enemy only has 5. What are you afraid of?"

"If you don't go, I can let you die here! I'm employing you now because I respect you, don't be ungrateful!"

Euthydemus I slapped the throne below, then immediately stood up and warned the general with murderous intent in his eyes.
