"Report——!"

The ministers were still undecided, and the announcement sounded again outside the hall.

"Tianxing City was invaded! The city lord died in battle!"

"Three counties in the Western Region were destroyed, and not a single one of the 100,000 troops survived!"

"Shangyuan City is under attack! Requesting support!"

…

Bad news came one after another, and the hall was already in chaos.

"It's over! This is the end of the world!"

"If you can't defend it, you can't defend it at all!"

"Hurry and ask for help from the Great Shang Kingdom!"

All the ministers were completely panicked, and some even began to plan to flee the country.

"Calm down, everyone!"

Seeing the out-of-control scene in the palace, the empress shouted angrily.

A strong coercion swept across the entire venue, causing everyone to become silent immediately.

"Now is the time of life and death for our country, Xu. You, as the pillars of the country, have no idea how to deal with the crisis, but you are as timid as a mouse. It is really a disgrace to our country!"

"Come here! Seal Tianchen Palace for me!"

"The evil spirit will not retreat for a day, and no one will be allowed to leave even half a step!"

"Those who disobey orders will be killed!"

Following the empress's order, a large number of powerful Imperial Guards immediately poured into the hall.

The officials were terrified.

They all knew that looking at the Empress's attitude, she wanted them to coexist with the Xu Kingdom!

If they cannot protect the foundation of Xu Kingdom, then their group is destined to be trapped in the royal city.

In this way, as long as you want to survive, you must find a way to solve the current crisis.

"What should I do?"

"Ask for help. It's impossible to stop those evil spirits with our own strength."

"Yes, now ten cities have been defeated, and six immortal-level city lords have died in the battle. It is impossible for us alone to be able to withstand it!"

The ministers did not dare to confront the empress, so they could only scratch their scalps and start discussing countermeasures.

But the evil spirits were coming in a menacing manner, and the threat level had exceeded Xu Guo's ability to bear.

In the end, they all came to the conclusion that they could only seek help from other countries.

"Your Majesty, please ask for help from the other three empires. This is the only way we can go!"

Asking for help from other countries is not a simple matter. Regardless of success or failure, they need to pay a large sum of money.

And this is not the most important thing.

The empress looked at the ministers and felt a little bitter in her heart.

It's not that she doesn't want to ask for help, it's just that she has no way to ask for help.

Now it's not just their Xu Kingdom that is being invaded by evil spirits, the other three empires are also too busy to take care of themselves.

It's just that the situation is slightly better than theirs.

"Don't think about asking for help. It's better to use your private secrets and face it together."

The empress did not expect Her Highness and his ministers to come up with any solutions from the beginning. She just wanted to force them to move out all the wealth they had secretly collected and cultivated.

Many high-ranking officials have used their positions to cultivate private armies.

They thought it was well hidden, but they didn't know that the empress had already seen everything, but the interests involved were too great, so she didn't deal with it.

Now that the Xu Kingdom was in trouble, the empress couldn't care so much and ordered everyone on the spot to use their wealth to fight against the evil.

"Your Majesty has learned clearly that this old man has been honest all his life, but he has never..."

"Liu Taiwei, the Crazy Slayer Immortal you recruited ten years ago is still in your house, right? He has eaten so many of your offerings, wouldn't it be good to let him help now?"

When a white-bearded minister was about to say something, the empress interrupted him mercilessly.

After speaking, she glanced at the ministers, her eyes full of solemnity.

"I don't care what you have done in the past, or how many private armies you have recruited. Now I have only one sentence, either bring your family wealth with me and fight to the death to protect the country, or I will kill you right here!"

These words were full of murderous intent, and the officials had no doubt that the empress was soft-hearted.

In normal times, the empress might still be worried about the people.

But now, the entire Xu Kingdom is facing an existential threat. The country is about to be overthrown. How could the empress still have so many worries?

"Your Majesty, we are willing to defend every inch of the Xu Kingdom's territory to the death!"

"I will immediately send a message to the door to worship, at your Majesty's disposal!"

The ministers knew that there was no way out, so they all showed their loyalty.

"Very good, I will make a list of all your servants and submit it. This time I will personally lead the army to go out. After quelling the evil spirits, I will reward you based on my merits!"

"yes!"

All the ministers listed the names of the powerful men they recruited and reported them to the empress.

The ones with the lowest strength on the list are also strong ones in the Hedao realm, with a total number of more than 10,000.

Among them, there are 6,000 in the Hedao realm, 4,000 in the Divine realm, and 68 strong ones in the Human Immortal realm.

This is almost a collection of strong casual cultivators from the entire Xu Kingdom.

"His Majesty."

The empress was looking at the list that was passed up, when an old minister stood up and said respectfully.

"What's wrong with Zaifu?"

The empress obviously respected the old man very much.

"Your Majesty, judging from the battle reports, there are probably no less than a hundred evil spirits in the fairyland who have invaded our country this time! Among them, the tough ones are probably on par with Your Majesty in strength."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall.

Yes, this is something that everyone thinks about, but no one dares to say it.

The enemy is so powerful that it is disappointing.

Naturally, the empress also knows this, but now they have no way out. Apart from fighting to the death, what else can they do?

"What Zaifu said is true, but our Xu Kingdom is also rich in resources. It is not difficult to gather a hundred immortal masters. When I gather the army and defeat them one by one, the difficulties in Xu Kingdom will naturally be solved!"

In order not to damage morale, the empress will definitely not give in.

Zaifu shook his head repeatedly.

The demon's offensive was overwhelming. It had only been one day since they received the news of the demon's invasion, and they had already destroyed ten cities in a row.

Such a record has never happened since the founding of Xu Kingdom, which shows how powerful the enemy is.

Although he just said that the enemy army contained no less than a hundred powerful men from the fairyland, his actual estimate was far more than that number.

And there may be several beings among them who are not weaker than the Empress.

"Your Majesty, even if you go out in person this time, even if you win, it will be a tragic victory. Once the foundation of our country is shaken, it will be equally dangerous!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It will damage your own morale before the war. If someone else had said this, he would have been killed by the Empress on the spot.

However, no one present dared to interrupt rashly regarding this prime minister.

Although the empress didn't do anything when she heard this, she frowned, obviously unhappy.

At this time, Zaifu continued to say:

"The four empires are all in danger during this catastrophe. Although we cannot turn to them for help, there is a transcendent being who may be able to help us survive this catastrophe."

Hearing this, everyone in the audience was shocked, but then they couldn't help but laugh at themselves.

They all knew who Zaifu was talking about.

"What Zaifu is talking about is the Tianshen Palace. Those transcendent beings always ignore worldly affairs. How could they help our Xu Kingdom?"

The empress was a little confused. She didn't know whether Zaifu really didn't understand this or was just pretending.

"No, no."

Zaifu shook his head and said.

"Normally, the Tianshen Palace might not interfere in the affairs of the secular world, but this time is completely different. This has already involved the prophecy of annihilation, and the Tianshen Palace will most likely be affected. Therefore, the power of our secular world has been weakened.

, it will also be a loss for them."
