"You... you call this giving me a path?" Hearing the three paths Wu Tian offered him, Jiang Guangtou’s face flushed red with fury,
then,
"Pfft"
a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out violently,
you call this giving me a path?
Three paths, all leading to my death.
Is this really a path?
Yet the twelve disciples he personally nurtured had lost, Jiang Gan was utterly dejected.
Si’er showed no sympathy for Jiang Gan. Instead, she joyfully said to Wu Tian, "Sect Leader big brother, Si’er is so happy to have you by my side. This time we quelled the internal chaos, next time, we will defeat the Azure Empire."
The Azure Empire, a five-star power,
if her Xiuyuan Country managed to defeat it,
then,
wouldn’t they be recognized by the world as a five-star power too?
Si’er never imagined she would see such a day.
From a little princess of a one-star kingdom, unnoticed,
to become the queen of a three-star country,
and even has potential for further development?
If this were before, she wouldn’t have dared to dream of such a thing.
...Why,
in the end, is the throne still hers,
and not mine?
Jiang Gan was truly unconvinced.
He bit his lip and suddenly said, "Stop dreaming, stop dreaming. Even if you can defeat me, but you cannot kill me."
Wu Tian remained silent,
while the little one in his arms shouted, "Baldy, even if you die, you’ll just die. Does the sky fall when you die? Does the sun vanish? Don’t think too highly of yourself."
"Heh heh heh."
Jiang Gan sneered, sour grapes, knowing this was his own state of mind. But he was speaking the truth: "If I die, what about the soldiers? Their morale will plummet because of my death. Don’t underestimate my influence in the army. Can the army still defeat the Azure Empire then?"
This...
Si’er hesitated.
Indeed,
fighting the Azure Empire with the current army,
is already difficult.
Without morale, soldiers would be unlikely to defeat the Azure Empire.
"Soldiers?" Wu Tian said, shaking his head at the words: "No, the soldiers I’m using to fight the Azure Empire this time aren’t what you know."
After finishing,
everyone’s expressions changed.
Aside from those soldiers, where else could Xiuyuan Country get more soldiers?
Even Si’er was unaware of this.
"I know you are still here, come out." Seeing Si’er’s confused expression and the disbelief in everyone’s eyes,
Wu Tian smiled and gave a command: "Come out."
Suddenly, the earth’s surface cracked open, and crabs crawled out from the cracks, the smallest with a diameter of one meter.
Even the ferocious crabs came, their iron-like shells drawing attention.
"What’s this..."
Seeing the crab army, Si’er and others were startled.
"How can this be?" These crabs, with sharp gazes and towering momentum, were undoubtedly elite soldiers among elite soldiers.
These soldiers, even Jiang Gan had to admit, were what every general dreamed of.
"The Ferocious Crab Corps and the Jellyfish Corps, they are the soldiers I will use in a few days to handle the Azure Empire."
"As for other troops? Better let them stay put."
Wu Tian said flatly, "So, Jiang Guangtou, can you die now?"
Si’er and others were delighted, having such soldiers gave anyone the confidence to battle against the Azure Empire.
Still, why hadn’t we known before?
Even Qin Yuhan learned of it for the first time.
Qin Yuhan snorted, giving Wu Tian a sidelong glance.
You kept this kind of thing from me too.
How many things are you hiding from me?
If I don’t ignore you for a while, you’ll think being my husband is so great, won’t you?
"I held hope for peace and wanted to sign a peace agreement with the Azure Empire, was that wrong? I was considering the people."
"I didn’t want more civilians to die, so I adopted a non-resistance policy, was I wrong? No, I was thinking of relations between the two nations."
"Wu Tian, where did I go wrong?"
...Wu Tian couldn’t bother with Jiang Guangtou,
this Jiang Guangtou’s style was very much like someone he disliked,
at this moment, Wu Tian pointed with a finger,
"Pfft."
Jiang Guangtou, who was Jiang Gan, had a hole pierced through his chest,
finally falling down,
but before death,
he continued muttering: "Was I wrong? No"!
"I did it for the world, for the people, for relations between our two nations"!
Die!
After these words, he could speak no more.
Wu Tian shook his head, what’s this about the world, the people, or relations between nations?
You!
Were only thinking of yourself!
Wu Tian then looked towards Jiang Gan’s remaining generals,
some generals, witnessing this, drew their swords and committed suicide, exhibiting considerable courage.
But others weren’t the same; they knelt in front of Wu Tian,
"We were wrong."
"We were under his bewitchment."
"We are innocent."
Wu Tian chuckled; innocent? If you acted, even under persuasion, can you honestly say you didn’t have such thoughts?
Wu Tian was about to raise his hand, but suddenly thought of something, then put it down.
Seeing this, those generals sighed in relief.
However, it wasn’t that simple,
Wu Tian wasn’t a merciful man; he looked at Si’er and said, "You know how to deal with these people, right?"
