In the spacious and comfortable hall, Mai Shiranui sat straight on the sofa, looking intently at the screen in front of her.
The meeting has ended.
In the huge hall, only the elderly Tianhuang sat opposite Mai Shiranui, watching the pictures on the screen one after another.
The huge screen that takes up almost the entire wall is divided into three parts.
Part of it is the station on the northern border of Annan.
Part of it is the station at the junction of Tiannan and Nanyun.
The third part is the scene of the power belonging to the East Island heading north on the vast sea level.
Shortly after the decisive battle in Beihai, Dongdao wanted to seize the opportunity to fight the Wang family in Beihai again.
This time there are no so-called allies and external support.
This is Dongdao’s own big gamble.
This huge gamble was suggested by Mai Shiranui, the personal maid of the Eastern Emperor Li Tianlan.
Tianhuang agreed to Mai Shiranui's proposal without much thought, but what he didn't expect was that when discussing this matter with the cabinet, the people in power in the cabinet also didn't think much about it, and even supported Huang Palace's proposal without much hesitation.
proposal.
Bet again.
Even if you lose everything, you still have to take a gamble.
So in just a few hours, as calls were made from Huang Palace and the cabinet, and various orders were accurately conveyed, the entire East Island moved at an unimaginable speed.
The elites of the top ten martial arts schools in the East Island gathered together.
Thunder Realm, Burning Fire Realm, Ice-Condensing Realm, one by one, all go north!
One ship after another, Junjian ships came out of the port.
All the best troops in the army were dispatched, and three large regiments were temporarily formed.
All Kong-kun's powers are activated.
All power.
is all.
As long as Dongdao can take it out, everything is converging towards the north at this time.
This sounds like a very exciting scene.
But in fact...
The number of people with real combat effectiveness mobilized by Dongdao this time is less than 30,000.
Including those three temporarily formed ‘large-scale monarch groups.’
And the Junjian ships one after another...
Well...nine ships.
Much older.
There is no clear organization, escort, patrol, expulsion, transportation, etc., everything that can be used is used.
Shabby, abject, miserable.
After being hit again and again, Dongdao really had no financial resources. This time he went north, it was Huang Palace and the cabinet who desperately squeezed out the last bit of Dongdao's strength to gamble.
Regardless of victory or defeat, it will take at least twenty years for Dongdao to regain its former heyday strength.
Tianhuang stared blankly at the sea on the screen, his eyes a little sad, and said softly: "In about twenty minutes, our first batch of vanguard troops will officially land in Qiushui City. There is no way back for us."
His voice echoed in the hall, a little sad.
"Your Majesty, aren't you willing to do so?"
Mai Shiranui chuckled and asked softly.
"Not willing..."
Tianhuang thought about it seriously, and then sighed: "It's just...a little scary."
He looked at Mai Shiranui seriously: "Beihai still has a certain strength. The outcome of this operation is unpredictable, but no matter whether we win or lose, Dongdao will fall into unprecedented weakness. After tonight, we will no longer have any external relations."
We will no longer even have the power to maintain internal stability, but what have we gained?"
"shelter."
Mai Shiranui looked at Tianhuang's old and haggard face seriously, and said calmly: "We have received the protection of His Majesty the Eastern Emperor, no matter we win or lose, this is the case. Isn't this enough?"
Tianhuang was silent for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly: "I understand the truth, and I also know what you mean. Dongdao is already very weak now. Even if we hide the strength tonight, we can't actually do much, but.
..”
He shook his head and said nothing.
Strictly speaking, this is not a remorse or a complaint, but the old man's instinctive uneasiness, as well as something strange and inappropriate.
"I understand."
Mai Shiranui nodded: "East Island is very small, but even now, no one can deny that we are a big country. From the past to the present, we have never completely pinned the fate of a country on one person.
Especially since this person is still an outsider in the eyes of many people. But Your Majesty is confused, why do you have to regard His Majesty Dong Huang as a human being?"
Tianhuang was startled.
"Obviously, everyone in the cabinet is more sensible and wiser than you.
Be decisive, they know better than you that the current His Majesty Donghuang is not alone."
The corner of Mai Shiranui's mouth raised an extremely seductive arc: "He is the sixth most powerful country in the world. Isn't this status enough to impress you? From today on, our East Island is not dependent on one person, but one country."
After a pause, Mai Shiranui continued to speak lightly: "We should be very experienced in this kind of thing, right?"
Tianhuang's face looked a little embarrassed, but he couldn't refute anything.
Dongdao is indeed a big country.
But internationally, they have never had the dignity of the strong.
That's the truth, what's the point of refuting it?
They once launched a war against Central Continent hundreds of years ago. After the failure, they attached themselves to the Star Kingdom, and were then used as pawns by the Star Kingdom to attack Central Continent. At the same time, the Star Kingdom squeezed and even exploited the things created by the people of the East Island again and again.
wealth.
Then, with the rise of the Beihai Wang family, the first-generation patriarch of the Beihai Wang family and the first-generation God of War of Central Continent broke the hegemony that belonged to the Star Kingdom at that time. Then the first-generation God of War shattered the interests of the Star Kingdom.
group.
Dongdao had no choice but to kneel down and lick Zhongzhou.
Of course, there were resistances, but those resistances were like a joke in front of Zhongzhou, which had fully risen at the beginning. The result was that the land of the three cities in Qiushui Canglan Tongtian was returned to Beihai.
Beihai bullies them, Zhongzhou is too lazy to take care of them, Europe looks down on them, they are not human beings inside and outside.
Until the Li family collapsed and Gu Xingyun came to power, Zhongzhou's status seemed to be shaken a little.
Dongdao started flirting with Xingguo again, and then a decisive battle in Tiandu was taught by Zhongzhou. The subsequent chaos in Snow Country and the decisive battle in Beihai made Dongdao's arrangements clear.
They are strong.
But they always choose to rely on people who are stronger than themselves, so that they never achieve the status they deserve.
In terms of relying on the strong, they are professional, and can even be said to be the most professional.
They have never been attached to anyone.
But what would happen if Li Tianlan was regarded as the sixth most powerful country?
Tianhuang finally figured out why the cabinet agreed so simply.
The whole world has interpreted what Li Tianlan said.
No one knows what the five overlords are thinking, but it is not important to Dongdao at all.
The important thing is that the Dongdao Cabinet recognized what Li Tianlan said.
They recognized Li Tianlan's status as sixth in the world, and then chose to move up to him without hesitation.
The emperor sighed deeply and said in a low voice: "I understand. Tonight, Dongdao attacks with all its strength, Qiushui, Canglan, and the three earths. This is our sincerity to the Eastern Palace."
Mai Shiranui nodded and continued to look at the screen: "When the test results are clear, it's time for me to set off."
Yes, the first batch of people who went to Beihai were just testers, not even experts.
Because there are no experts who can do it in Beihai now.
Dongdao has now gathered all the experts. Once the reality of Beihai is clearly seen, all their experts will go all out.
"If it fails..."
Tianhuang couldn't help but say something, looking a little sad.
"It doesn't matter if you fail."
Mai Shiranui remained calm: "These people, these armaments, everything that happened tonight is our attitude and our sincerity. His Majesty the Eastern Emperor will see it, so success and failure are not what we should consider, we only
We need to go all out to fight, even risk death, and use up all these powers, so that the Eastern Palace will recognize our sincerity."
This sentence is cruel and morbid.
But this is very consistent with Dongdao’s concept.
Mai Shiranui suddenly smiled: "And... I can't think of a reason why we will fail tonight. It's obvious that Beihai doesn't have enough power now. Hasn't His Majesty realized what happened in Tiannan?"
What?"
"Tiannan?"
Tianhuang was a little confused.
He saw with his own eyes that the Peaky Blood Legion completely tore apart the power of Beihai and the Purgatory Legion in Tiannan. He was shocked and happy, but what else could it mean? Who can guarantee 100% that it was really the last bit of power of Beihai?
"Beihai and Purgatory Legion did not receive any support in this battle."
A strange smile appeared on Mai Shiranui's face: "Didn't you notice? The battle in Tiannan lasted for two hours, with more than 100,000 people. It can be said to be earth-shattering, but so far, the entire Tiannan
, even Annan is calm, what does this mean? "
Tianhuang was stunned for a moment, and then his whole scalp seemed to explode, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
this
Such a scene...what does this mean?
On the East Island of Central Continent, the whole world knew that when the Beihai and Purgatory Legions suffered heavy losses in Tiannan, other forces in the alliance, including Annan's forces, had no response at all?
Tianhuang didn't think this was a betrayal.
If it was betrayal, this lack of reaction would be too dry and even meaningless.
The only explanation...
It is now other forces in the alliance and even the entire Annan.
them...
They didn't receive the message!
what does that mean?
How familiar is this scene?
Illusion?
Just like the night of the decisive battle in the North Sea, the entire East Island was intently watching the whole process and had countless phone calls, but in the end it turned out that what they saw and heard was all wrong news.
How similar is this scene now to that night?
No one can tell clearly what this power is, but it can be used in Tiannan, why can't it be used in Beihai?
When the power of Dongdao enters Beihai, will all aspects of Beihai also face this completely unsolvable situation?
Tianhuang's face flushed with excitement: "If this is the case, then we..."
"His Majesty..."
A voice suddenly sounded outside the hall.
Tianhuang's life assistant came over quickly, lowered his voice, and said respectfully: "Li Huacheng from Zhongzhou would like to speak with you."
At this moment Dong Dao gathered all his strength.
At this moment, East Island is about to enter the North Sea.
At this moment, Li Huacheng's call came to Tianhuang.
The overwhelming pressure immediately came down.
Middle-earth. Middle-earth!
The muscles on Tianhuang's face twitched obviously. Faced with this call, he was a little reluctant to answer the call, but he had to answer it.
He sat stiffly on the sofa for two or three minutes before he said hoarsely: "Get in!"
The assistant nodded and controlled the screen.
The screen was divided into four parts, and the call from Zhongzhou was placed in the center.
Li Huacheng's figure appeared on the screen.
Tianhuang stood up and bowed to Li Huacheng in a polite manner, or in other words, respectfully according to the etiquette of the East Island. He was meticulous and did not slack off at all.
Li Huacheng just nodded casually and said with a smile: "The power of the East Island has entered the Beihai. What does your Majesty mean by this? When targeting the Beihai, did you forget the Central Continent Council?"
Raise an army to investigate?
The pressure is increasing.
Tianhuang bent down again and said in a serious voice: "Your Excellency, this is not the case. Dongdao can explain and give a reasonable explanation for all this."
"explain."
Li Huacheng laughed.
"us..."
Tianhuang gritted his teeth: "We are just executing His Majesty Li Tianlan's will. Dongdao's actions tonight are entirely for the Donghuang Palace. We will take the land south of Beihai, but not for Dongdao. This will be a gift.
A complete gift to His Majesty Li Tianlan."
A gift from Beihai to the Eastern Palace.
Just watch the show at the Central Continent Council.
This is what Tianhuang means.
Li Huacheng was silent.
A long silence.
He was silent for more than half an hour!
In the Zhongzhou conference room, Wan Qingyun was going crazy.
The power of Dongdao has officially landed in the North Sea more than ten minutes ago.
A bloody battle broke out without any suspense.
But Li Huacheng remained silent.
Forty minutes.
Fifty minutes.
One hour!
Li Hua seemed to be asleep.
Just when Wan Qingyun couldn't bear it anymore, Li Huacheng suddenly smiled, looked at the screen in another direction, and said with a smile: "Is this Miss Shiranui Mai?"
"I am."
Mai Shiranui stood up and bowed slightly: "Hello, Mr. Li Huacheng."
"I heard that you became Tianlan's maid, and you are considered to have a distinguished status in Dongdao. I feel wronged."
Li Huacheng said with great interest.
"It's my pleasure."
Mai Shiranui looked serious.
Li Huacheng laughed heartily.
Then...
He started chatting with Mai Shiranui.
Let's talk...
What are you talking about about mud horses?!
Wan Qingyun stared at Li Huacheng, but at this moment, he completely understood what Li Huacheng meant.
