Looking at the embarrassed young official in front of him, Euthydemus I frowned and then urged him again.

He was already upset, and now this guy was still hesitating and saying nothing, just like he was constipated, which made him feel even more upset.

"I still have a lot of things to do right now. If you have anything to say, please tell me now and don't waste my time!"

After hearing what Euthydemus I said, the young official turned around and looked at the old officials standing behind him.

Noticing his gaze, the officials immediately retracted their gaze, looked left and right, and whistled, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.

[A bunch of damn old guys! I didn't want to come here in the first place! I was forced to come here by you old-timers! It was you who proposed it, but you didn't say anything and pushed me to come here!]

[If I’m doomed to die because of this, then none of you damn old guys will survive!]

The young official glared viciously at the old fox standing behind him, cursed them a few words in his heart, and then looked at Euthydemus I.

"Your Majesty! I'm sure you've heard the sounds of fighting outside the palace. Now the enemy troops are about to reach the capital, so we suggest that Your Majesty go out and hide first, and then return to the capital after destroying the enemy troops."

The young official took a deep breath and quickly said what he was going to say.

It was said so quickly that Euthydemus I had not yet reacted.

By the time he reacted, veins bulged on Euthydemus I's head, and then he slapped the official in the face.

"Do you know what you just said? All these years have passed, from the founding emperor to the present, no monarch has ever escaped from here!"

"You want me to flee the capital now, do you want future generations to think I'm a cowardly monarch?"

Because he was too angry, the young official's face immediately became red and swollen, and blood was oozing out of it.

"Your Majesty! This is not just my opinion. Other adults think so too!"

The old foxes who were originally standing at the back watching the show immediately turned pale when they saw the young official pointing his fingers at them, and they began to curse the young official's ancestors in their hearts.

"Do you have the same idea as this guy?"

Hearing the words of the young official, Euthydemus I turned around and looked at those officials.

Noticing the calm and indifferent look of Euthydemus I, the officials immediately broke out in cold sweat.

Several people looked at each other and swallowed. They wanted to deny what the young official said, but when they thought that the enemy troops were about to reach the capital, they mustered up their courage again.

"That's right! Your Majesty, I think we should make a strategic move now!"

"After all, your majesty is the ruler of a country. If you are hurt in any way, it will be a huge disaster for the country!"

"That's why we have gathered here today to advise His Majesty. So that His Majesty can agree with our idea."

"Humph! How can I, as the king of a country, take the lead? How will my subjects see me then?"

Euthydemus I snorted coldly, then retorted loudly.

Seeing his stubborn attitude, the officials were so anxious that cold sweats broke out on their heads.

After all, the emperor has said that he wants to stay and fight with the soldiers. If they, as ministers, secretly escape, when Euthydemus I investigates the matter, their heads will definitely be in danger.

So what they have to do now is to persuade Euthydemus I to leave the royal capital. Then they can leave with him and save their lives, and they don't have to worry about him settling scores later.

[Damn you idiot! What time is it now? You are still showing off here! We don’t want to be buried with you! My 20 lovers and my wife are waiting for me to return! If the enemy army breaks through the capital, I will definitely be cuckolded from head to toe!]

Those ministers looked at Euthydemus I with a hint of resentment in their eyes, but they immediately adjusted themselves and didn't let him notice it.

Euthydemus I also became anxious when he saw the ministers who were standing there in a daze.

After all, he didn't really want to stay here and defend the capital with the army. He said that just for show.

When he escapes, he can put all the blame on those ministers, saying that they forced him to leave, and the history books will not describe him too harshly.

[What on earth are these damn idiots thinking? They usually look smart, but why do they seem to be stupid now? They are standing there in a daze without moving! If you try to persuade me again, I will follow you!]

Euthydemus I was extremely anxious and hoped that they could speak to him and persuade him at this time, but his face still showed that he was determined to stay and fight with the army.

At this moment, a soldier in tattered clothes and with blood on his face stumbled into the hall, and then knelt down in front of Euthydemus I.

When he saw this soldier, a trace of disgust flashed in Euthydemus I's eyes, because in his opinion it was unforgivable that this lowly soldier dared to defile his palace.

But now is a special period, so even if we want to get rid of him, we have to wait until it is safe.

The other ministers were frightened when they saw the soldier, and then they rolled up their cannons and moved away from him, fearing that the dust and blood on his body would stain their gorgeous robes.

"What happened? Why do you look like this?"

Euthydemus I asked coldly.

"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened! This morning, General Abdullah and his men launched an attack on the enemy army! But just when the two armies met, General Gulshihan suddenly led his soldiers to attack our army!"

"And Nurubo suddenly appeared on the battlefield and killed all our generals. Now the enemy army is advancing towards us. Because there is no army to stop them, it is like entering an empty land!"

After hearing his words, Euthydemus I and his ministers immediately turned pale with fright.

"This! Is this news true? If you dare to lie to me, you know what will happen to you!"

After realizing what was happening, Euthydemos I took a quick step forward, picked up the soldier who had collapsed on the ground, and asked loudly with a grim expression.

Seeing his hideous and terrifying appearance, the soldier was so frightened that he stood there in a daze.

Seeing him staring at him without saying a word, Euthydemus I immediately grabbed his big hand and shook it twice to wake him up.
