Section 199

“On that day, the Emperor Child resisted the Martial God in the Great Xia Mountain Range, and the Martial Emperors from various Empires all turned their attention there.”

“Their actions see my Great Xia as weak!”

“It’s an insult!”

“It’s an invasion!”

The ministers looked somewhat bewildered, not knowing what the Xia Emperor was trying to do.

Normally, if a Martial God appeared here, it wouldn't be entirely unreasonable for other countries to be curious and want to see the specific situation.

Although those countries probably harbored malicious thoughts, hoping that Xia Feng would die at the hands of the Martial God.

Even if he didn't die, it would be best if he was taken away by the Martial God.

Compared to the Great Xia Empire with these two War Gods, they naturally preferred to see a Great Xia Empire that lacked the two major helpers, Summer Bright and Xia Feng.

If Xia Feng died in battle and the Martial God, in his anger, destroyed the capital of Great Xia with a single palm, these people would probably wake up laughing in their dreams.

But the result was contrary to their wishes; Xia Feng actually survived.

He coughed twice, interrupting the pre-war mobilization that Xia Naiwen was about to give.

Everyone looked at him; his voice was not loud, but it was firm and decisive.

“If others don't offend me, I won't offend others. Since the other party has openly put their schemes against Great Xia on the table, wouldn't it disappoint them if we didn't give them some feedback?”

As he said this, there was a hint of killing intent in his eyes.

The ministers below were stunned by him, seemingly not understanding his meaning.

Xia Feng chuckled and repeated what he had said to the previous Xia Emperors yesterday: “I want there to be only one voice on the Tian Yuan Continent, and that is the voice of Great Xia.”

“Eventually, there will even be a day when even the Martial Gods of the God Domain will not be qualified to interfere in the state affairs of my Great Xia!”

His gaze swept over the ministers below like a sharp blade: “Do any of you Lords have any objections?”

No one spoke, no one dared to speak.

Finally, General General Gu Sha was the first to step forward: “Emperor Child is mighty, the Great Xia Empire is invincible and victorious in every battle!”

Chen Hongyu also spoke, unwilling to be outdone: “Great Xia is mighty, unify Tian Yuan!”

Soon, the court officials below also started shouting in agreement.

If they could truly unify Tian Yuan… then in later generations, they would be considered pioneers, able to leave a significant mark in the history books!

Xia Feng chuckled: “Besides Great Xia and the already destroyed Nichao Empire, there is also a Great Chu on the Eastern Continent.”

“This time I will still personally lead the campaign. Are there any Generals willing to go with me?”

General General Gu Sha was the first to speak: “This subject is willing to follow the Emperor Child on the campaign!”

Chen Hongyu next to him quickly chimed in: “This subject is also willing!”

There was a hint of a smile in Xia Feng's eyes. These two were Generals who had fought alongside him in the battle of Nichao, and could be considered his confidants.

Naturally, such a matter that could go down in history should include his confidants.

In addition, among the Lingxiao Pavilion Twenty-Four Martial Emperors, except for those guarding the major cities, the rest all wanted to follow the Emperor Child.

Xia Feng did not choose them all, only picking a few Martial Emperors at random.

He was now a Half God, and although interfering in wars between Empires was somewhat like a powerful entity bullying a weaker one.

But as long as he was in the army, he could stabilize morale and allow the soldiers to have no worries.

After all, the customary rules were customary; they weren't actually stated openly.

If Great Xia truly showed signs of failure, Xia Feng certainly wouldn't stand by and do nothing.

This principle was understood by the soldiers of Great Xia, and also by the soldiers of other countries.

Therefore, when they heard that Great Xia was going to lead an army to attack Great Chu in three days, the Empires across the entire continent were somewhat shaken.

The most fearful was Great Chu, which would be the first to face Great Xia.

The Chu Emperor's face was not looking good after hearing this news, and he immediately summoned all his court officials and generals to discuss a response plan.

However, among the hundreds of officials and nearly a hundred generals, not a single person dared to accept the challenge.

Several civil officials even submitted memorials.

“Your Majesty, Great Xia is coming fiercely and is unstoppable. We might as well surrender the entire country. In that case, Great Chu would be Great Xia's first vassal state with a different surname, and perhaps we could also share in Great Xia's good fortune.”

The Chu Emperor was so angry that he directly grabbed the teacup next to him and smashed it.

Along with the crisp sound of the shattering cup, the civil official knelt on the ground.

The Chu Emperor's voice was very cold: “My Great Chu has no precedent of surrendering without a fight! If you say such words again, you won't need to keep your head.”

The civil official's head was pressed to the ground. He looked at the shattered teacup and listened to the Chu Emperor's cold voice from above, suppressing his anger.

After much hesitation, he spoke again: “This subject…”

“This subject offers a death remonstrance!”

“Your Majesty! War harms the Foundation of Great Chu. Great Xia is unstoppable, and acting willfully will only harm the lives of the subjects and people.”

“I implore Your Majesty to reconsider!”

The Chu Emperor's face turned red, looking as if he was extremely enraged. He stood up and suddenly shouted loudly.

“Guards! Drag this alarmist out and behead him!”

“No! Dismember him by five horses!”

The civil official's expression was sorrowful. Without even waiting for the attendants to drag him away, he stood up directly and shouted loudly.

“This subject offers a death remonstrance! I implore Your Majesty to reconsider!”

Chapter 245: Civil Official's Death Remonstrance, Breaking Through the Border

After saying this, he directly charged towards a pillar beside him.

Although this civil official was a civil official, he also had the Realm of a Martial Ancestor on this continent where everyone practiced martial arts.

This collision was fierce and sudden, and he almost lost his breath on the spot.

The Chu Emperor stood on the high platform, his eyes almost spitting fire with rage.

Only a foolish ruler would be subjected to a death remonstrance. This civil official still wanted to pour a bucket of dirty water on him before he died!

“Drag him out! Drag him out for me!”

“Chop his body into pieces and feed it to the dogs!”

Then his gaze turned fierce as he looked at the surrounding ministers: “Lord Liu's words and actions were improper; he went mad in front of the hall, so he was dragged out and executed.”

“Lords, do you have any other thoughts?”

Everyone's expressions turned sharp, knowing that the Chu Emperor did not want the matter of the civil official's death remonstrance to spread. They quickly lowered their heads.

After a moment of calm, he looked at everyone: “This time, the Great Xia Empire is attacking. Is there anyone willing to voluntarily meet the challenge?”

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, their expressions also showing a hint of worry, fearing that if they didn't speak, they would end up like Civil Official Liu.

The Chu Emperor's face grew colder: “Good, I didn't expect that after so many years, my Great Chu has raised so many cowards like you!”

Below, there was still silence. The Chu Emperor was so angry that he was panting heavily.

“Since the Emperor Child is attacking from the other side, then I, the Emperor, will also personally lead the campaign!”

“Success or failure depends on this one battle. Are there any soldiers willing to go on the campaign with me!”

Everyone looked at each other for a long time, and no one dared to speak.

The Chu Emperor's personal campaign was different from the Great Xia Emperor Child's personal campaign.

It was said that when the Great Xia Emperor Child attacked the Nichao Empire last time, he, an Earth Rank Martial Emperor, forcefully attacked Heaven Rank Martial Emperors.

And he even killed three of them.

This proved that the Great Xia Emperor Child was truly fighting on the front lines, truly engaging in life-and-death battles.

Unlike their country's Chu Emperor, whose so-called personal campaign was just him hiding behind the front lines.

Letting the soldiers fight while he hid in a relatively safe place.

The Chu Emperor's chest rose and fell constantly, as if he was extremely angry.

Suddenly, he swept everything off the desk in front of him and was about to speak, his face flushed with rage.

Suddenly, a young voice came from below: “Your Majesty, this subject is willing to lead the troops.”

The Chu Emperor's previously angry expression paused, and he turned his head to look.

The young man who spoke was the youngest Martial Emperor in Great Chu, named Chu Yue.

His surname was Chu, but he was not a direct descendant, just from a collateral branch.

Although he was only a Huang Realm first level Martial Emperor, being able to reach this Realm within a hundred years was already considered exceptionally talented.

The Chu Emperor's expression softened considerably, and he turned to angrily scold those court officials: “Look at yourselves, you are not even as good as a child.”

Chu Yue lowered his head, looking respectful.
