Chapter 205: Reaction
205 Reaction
Yuan Kingdom
Ever since the emperor chose to back down from the fight against Ming Kingdom, they have been in relatively peace state. There were some troubles on the border, but none of them were going after the top. They can still be considered as minor incidents.
Now, suddenly earthshaking news came to their hall. One of the four big families of Ming Kingdom, the Jun family had chosen to separate themselves from Ming Kingdom. It must be known that the Jun family was one of the pillars of the military power of Ming Kingdom. Without them, the power of Ming Kingdom would decrease significantly.
While the officials were discussing heatedly about it, the emperor of Yuan Kingdom stayed on his throne thinking about the development that happened. When he met with Nanglong Souka, the power of Ming Kingdom was undoubtedly the highest among all of them. But now, he can say that the proposal was no longer valid.
Seeing how excited they were, the emperor finally raised his hand. Immediately, all of them went quiet and no one dare to open his mouth.
"Which one will be more beneficial, attacking the Ming Kingdom or Mountain Kingdom?"
This question makes them ponder about it for some time. The Yuan kingdom was bordering with three kingdoms, Pan Kingdom, Ming Kingdom, and Mountain Kingdom. Attacking Pan Kingdom was highly impossible since Pan Kingdom was the biggest among them all. As for the other two, there were two possibilities with each having the probability to fail.
With careful thinking, they know that given Jun Qing already became the emperor, in mountain terrain; it's highly possible that the Mountain Kingdom become unstoppable. Going against them at this time was truly unbeneficial. The Ming Kingdom must have been taken by surprise too and at this time they would be more vulnerable.
Additionally, the Mountain Kingdom rarely did anything big because they don't have that much of power. The Ming Kingdom had been building a lot of talented officials. Because of that, attacking the Ming Kingdom and halted their advance would be the better choice.
"Ming Kingdom."
"Ming Kingdom."
Almost all of the officials answered the same thing. They won't allow the Ming Kingdom to continue their march.
"Then, send the order."
…
Kai Kingdom
The emperor of Kai Kingdom was smiling coldly upon hearing that news. This was a huge chance presented to them by the Jun family. They purposely go from the Ming Kingdom, making them losing a lot of soldier. The Mountain Kingdom would only receive a bit boost, but it wouldn't really cause any harm towards them without the capable general leading them in regards to the other terrain.
"General Wei, do you think that the Ming Kingdom can be defeated?"
Ever since the fight a few months ago, General Wei had been training like crazy. He didn't want to allow himself to lose against a brat like Soujin anymore. This battle would determine which one among them was the better one.
General Wei felt slightly regretful because of the way Jun Min dead was like that. If it was possible, he wanted to challenge that kid too and probably exchanged a few moves. If the boy died in his hand or at the battlefield, he won't have much regret like today.
"The chance for defeating the Ming Kingdom had increased," General Wei answered truthfully. Without the Jun family, the Ming Kingdom has lost a significant amount of military power which made them more vulnerable.
"Then, make the preparation. General Wei, you lead the army along with the fifth prince and the first prince. Don't make the same mistake."
Hearing that warning, General Wei knew that the emperor was still angry over losing two of his talented son. They were truly astounding, too bad that they meet with misfortune over at the war. Now, he wanted his other son to have achievement and not dying anymore.
"This subject understood," he said calmly. This time, he won't make the same mistake again.
On the back, the fourth prince lips curved up. Because of Jun Min, he had been unable to sleep for weeks. Only after he received the news of the other party death did he calm down. Standing up in the hall, he bowed towards his father.
"This subject son wished to attack the Jun family too."
Without that small leader, they will be easier to attack, and he wanted to beat them.
The emperor narrowed his eyes before nodded. "You and your second brother can go to the border of Mountain Kingdom to take some interest. Remember, don't go too deep."
The deeper they go towards the Mountain Kingdom territory, the more they would be unable to fight because of the mountain terrain was disadvantageous for them. This was also the reason why the Mountain Kingdom can still stand firm even with its power being chipped away all this time.
The fourth prince smile deepened. He had been waiting for this chance.
On his side, the second prince eyes narrowed. He didn't think this journey would be a simple one, especially with the fame of Jun Family already spread far and wide.
…
Pan Kingdom
The emperor looked towards the board calmly. He didn't make any decision, but the surrounding officials didn't dare to move at all. They were waiting patiently for the emperor to make the decision of whether they need to move or not.
The emperor raised his head and pointed towards a girl who stood beside a man. From their clothes, it's clear that the two of them were the prince and princess of Pan Kingdom.
"You two will lead the war. Don't go head on with Lan Pan, split the army towards the South."
The two of them kneeled.
"This subject understood," the two of them answered.
Tapping his finger on the chair, the emperor stared at the board coldly. The time for revenge against Ming Kingdom had come.
