Chapter 424 Fulfilling the bet and paying annual tribute
In the border fortress of Daxia, an army of monks from hundreds of countries invaded Daxia, covering almost half of the countries on the earth. Such a powerful force invaded Daxia. How could such a sensational event not attract the attention of all forces in the world?
For a time, Great Xia Kingdom became the focus of attention from all over the world. The invasion of the armies of monks from hundreds of countries seemed to set off a violent storm in this space, sweeping across the entire earth in an instant. Countless countries and forces are paying attention to this war, and they are all speculating on the fate of Daxia. Almost all countries and forces recognize it. "No matter how powerful the Great Xia Kingdom is, it is impossible for the Great Xia Kingdom to withstand the army of millions of monks from the Hundred Nations Alliance with one enemy against a hundred. Even many countries and forces that have not participated believe that this time the Great Xia Kingdom will definitely be in trouble. Too little, dangerous!”
In particular, the leaders of the Hundred Kingdoms and the cultivators in the Hundred Kingdoms who participated in the invasion of the Great Xia Kingdom were even more anchored. This time, even if the Great Xia Kingdom had a mysterious and powerful man sitting in charge, it would be impossible to escape the fate of being subjugated and slaughtered. However, since the first battle in which the ten war gods they were extremely optimistic about were killed inexplicably at the last moment, they have been in constant fear, fear, and panic all day long.
When three god-like figures, Lord Yi Lei, Lord Orn Blood, and Lord Abra suddenly appeared, in an instant, they seemed to have found a stronger life-saving straw and saw infinite hope. But the prospect did not last long. The hope they had finally seen, which they regarded as a life-saving straw, ended in failure in an instant under the hands of Ye Tian and the others.
If you fail, just fail. When the two armies are fighting, failure is a common thing for military strategists. However, those three god-like strong men were not as skilled as others. They turned against the enemy and took refuge in Daxia. In an instant, they turned from their reliance to theirs. of enemies. In this way, their hopes were completely dashed in an instant.
On the satellite surveillance videos of many countries, when they saw the surrender of the three people they regarded as life-saving straw, they were even more heartbroken and trembling. At the last moment, when the army of millions of monks, which they regarded as invincible, was mercilessly slaughtered like chickens and dogs in front of the Daxia monks, the whole world was shaken like a magnitude 12 earthquake. .
Especially the members of the Hundred Nations Alliance, they felt as if they were falling into the abyss, their eyes turned white, and they collapsed on the ground like puddles of mud. I was almost scared to death on the spot.
Of course, they have not thought of using modern weapons of mass destruction and nuclear weapons to attack. Unfortunately, not to mention their large-scale and extremely destructive nuclear weapons, even their slightly more powerful light weapons have been looted by Ye Tian and thrown into the Jindan world as scrap metal. Wanting to use modern high-power destructive weapons to attack Daxia monks is just a wishful thinking and a fantasy.
At this moment, for these remaining alien bloodlines, the destruction of an army of millions of monks is undoubtedly a catastrophe. This army of one million monks is the top force they have carefully cultivated over the years, and it is the foundation on which they rely for survival. Now, all this has come to nothing in front of the monks in Daxia. It is conceivable that how can they not feel despair and fear?
Faced with this sudden change, they felt as if the sky had fallen, and they didn't know what kind of situation they would end up in.
Also, this time an army of one million monks from the Hundred Kingdoms Alliance invaded Daxia. Now that all one million monks are dead and Daxia is completely victorious, wouldn’t Daxia Kingdom take revenge and just let them go so easily?
At this moment, every time they thought about this, their whole bodies became cold and they shuddered. Whether they are the members of the Hundred Nations Alliance or the monks who dominate the Hundred Nations, they are all panic-stricken. They know it very well. After all, the Hundred Nations Alliance's army of millions of monks invaded Daxia, posing a huge threat to Daxia. If they were the ones, they would not let each other go easily.
Now, although Daxia has won a great victory, they are naturally worried that Daxia will retaliate and will not let them off easily. Moreover, this kind of worry and fear spread crazily among the member states of the Hundred Nations Alliance and the monks who dominated the Hundred Nations, making them feel extremely panicked and unable to rest.
Having reached this point, even regrets are useless. They know that there are only two options left for them now. Either they unite and fight against Daxia again; or they have to surrender, fulfill their bet, and pay annual tribute.
However, after this battle, the top power of all the major monk forces in the Hundred Kingdoms was completely destroyed. If they were to become enemies of Daxia again, what would they use to fight Daxia. But if we don't fight to the end and pay annual tribute according to the bet, just the bet that requires one thousand tons of gold to be handed over to Daxia every year, let alone those small countries can't afford it for even a year, and even the big countries can't hold on for a long time. Year!
At this time, they truly felt: "What does it mean to lose your wife and then lose your troops? What does it mean to shoot yourself in the foot?"
Their hearts are filled with bitterness and regret. In the past, they were self-righteous and believed that their strength was enough to compete with Daxia, and they could even seize more benefits from Daxia. However, they were wrong. They underestimated Daxia's strength and overestimated their own abilities.
Now, they face a dilemma. If they don't fight and don't fulfill their bet, will the Great Xia Congress let them go? "The obvious answer is that it's absolutely impossible."
But if you choose to fulfill the bet, you will pay annual tribute. Not to mention that they will lose their dignity, the key point is that many countries, let alone paying tribute of a thousand tons of gold every year, even if they only pay tribute for one year, they will not be able to produce that much gold at all!
But if they choose to fight, they will face Daxia's overwhelming power. Not to mention Daxia's own power, even the three peerless strong men who have just been surrendered by Daxia cannot be shaken.
The strength of these three strong men has far exceeded their imagination. They know they can't compete with it. What's more, Daxia still has a peerless strong man who can kill the three of them with one hand.
Things have evolved so far that people in power in many countries can no longer sit still. They had to put down their dignity and beg Daxia for peace. They realize that if they do not take timely action to remedy the situation, they will face greater losses and threats. They understand that only by suing for peace can they gain a chance of survival. Otherwise, when the Daxia Iron Army steps in, they will only have the fate of being destroyed.
At such critical moments, they must make wise choices. They must weigh the pros and cons and consider the long-term interests of their country. Although suing for peace may make them feel humiliated and have to pay a very high price, it is the only way to save their lives. They realize that being tough will only lead to their destruction.
Although they were very unwilling. However, they also know that their country has reached the edge of the cliff and must take immediate action. Now, the only way is to calm down Daxia's anger at the minimum cost through peaceful negotiations and avoid Daxia's thunderous wrath. Although they know very well that this choice may have a profound impact on the future of their country, and even cause economic regression, and will be controlled by others from now on. But with the current situation and situation, they have no choice.
In the end, they decided to put aside their dignity and seek peace from Daxia. They hope that through peaceful negotiations they can secure a better future for their country. They understand that this is a difficult decision, but it is also a necessary one. Because at this point, they can only save their lives by suing for peace or even surrendering. Otherwise, they cannot bear the anger of Daxia...
Suddenly, the imperial capital of Great Xia was bustling with people, and envoys from the Hundred Nations Alliance arrived with generous gifts. Even countries that did not participate in the Hundred Nations Alliance sent missions to visit Great Xia, offering huge benefits and conducting friendly exchanges and cooperation. This indeed allowed the king of Daxia and the princes and ministers to fully enjoy the pleasure of ruling the world and shaking the nine states.
However, Daxia treated the countries outside the Hundred Nations Alliance with courtesy and conducted friendly and in-depth cooperation, and everyone was happy. They come happy and leave satisfied. But for the countries in the Hundred Nations Alliance, although Daxia smiled and accepted all the generous tribute gifts, they kept silent about peace. This made them feel intense fear and uneasiness.
Especially for some small countries in the Hundred-Nation Alliance, if they were asked to take out a thousand tons of gold at one time, it would kill them. Some of them only managed to get one or two hundred tons together. Daxia has not made any statement regarding these countries. According to the wishes of the country's leader, Ye Tian must personally decide on the alliance of hundreds of countries.
Therefore, although the envoys from hundreds of countries arrived in the imperial capital and presented their credentials and many annual tributes, it was not easy to meet the king of Great Xia Kingdom in a short period of time. They could only stay in the hotel and anxiously waiting.
Of course, some also want to use the princes and ministers to build relationships from the side to see if they can be summoned by the leader of the Great Xia Kingdom and get a clear answer from the Great Xia Kingdom, so that they can go back with the Great Xia Kingdom's credentials. However, in this extremely sensitive period, which prince or minister would dare to stand up for them.
In Daxia, Ye Tian didn't come back for a day, and the Hundred Nations Alliance mission could only wait in great fear!
