Era of the transmigrating earth-Chapter 1997: Eliminating the Two Great Empires

The frontline commander found an excuse, then ordered the adjutant to continue directing the battle while he secretly slipped away. But what he didn’t know was that his adjutant surprisingly did the same thing.

Not long after, more than half of the generals and officials at the frontline ran away, leaving behind those who were either brainless or unwilling to leave, facing only demise.

Their numbers were too few, their reputation insufficient, unable to control the army.

Facing the assault of a powerful enemy, they retreated step by step, only to discover that most of the upper class had already disappeared. This time, the army completely collapsed. Without the enemy attacking, they were already doomed.

Just a few days later, both empires received the news. Their War God had died, the frontline had collapsed. The enemy directly led several troop divisions to advance simultaneously, their territory continuously shrinking and collapsing.

"Damn it, how can this be, no, we must concentrate our forces and thwart them."

"But Your Majesty, we only have a few War Gods in total, and we must leave two to protect the Imperial Capital, otherwise it would be very dangerous. I think we should negotiate with them."

"Negotiate? They’re almost at our doorstep, and you still intend to negotiate," another person said angrily.

An official from earlier spoke up: "The opposite side has weaknesses too, but their number of War Gods is too great, we are far from being their match. We might as well acknowledge their empire status, cede some territory, and let them establish an empire."

"That’s true, but there’s a strategy in ceding land, we can give them this area and let them directly border other empires. In that case, we will attack the other empires."

"What a clever plan, let them fight each other, and we’ll wait to reap the benefits."

"You idiots, they’re already at our doorstep, and you’re thinking about this," the generals saw the officials’ reaction and grew angry one by one. Every time in battle, these guys always wanted to back down. If we listened to them every time, the empire would have been gone long ago, yet they are still here gloating.

After a long silence, the king spoke: "This is a helpless situation, we can do this, but they don’t seem like they want to negotiate. Even if we want to negotiate, we must establish a reputation."

Suddenly, a glimmer of coldness flickered in the king’s eyes: "There’s no need to leave anyone to protect the Imperial Capital, send out all four War Gods. This time, I want to concentrate forces and directly annihilate one or two of them."

As a king, he surely knows that negotiation must be based on equal strength. If the strength is unequal, then it’s not negotiation, but submission and tribute to the other side.

The officials felt victorious, wearing a smug expression. The generals, able to participate in war, were in a good mood too.

At least in their view, a sudden ambush, although the opponent has more War Gods than us, facing this level of ambush, the ultimate victory can only go to us.

A new war began, and indeed they successfully carried out a surprise attack. But the result seemed not quite as they expected.

"How is it possible, why didn’t the ambush work."

Everyone discovered that even when four people simultaneously ambushed one person, their attacks were still firmly blocked by the opponent. Although seemingly suppressed, there was no life-threatening danger, as others received the message and were rushing over.

No choice, their entity is too powerful, with complex abilities. Even if these doppelgangers can’t challenge across tiers, within the same level, they are definitely not ordinary.

The crucial fact is, under Du You’s influence, though these doppelgangers have different personalities, in their essence, they are all the type to maximize their defense capabilities. No matter their path, they all have defense skills, and not just one.

Once powerful defense skills were released one after another, the enemies were frustrated, gathering several strong opponents for a simultaneous ambush yet still unable to kill the opponent. Instead, they were firmly blocked, waiting for rescue to arrive.

Then there was nothing else; with rescue arriving, they had more numbers and strength than them.

The result was everyone fought desperately, sending off only an injured War God, while the other three all died on the battlefield. This was no longer just a heavy blow; this had severed their backbone.

When the news returned to the Imperial Capital, everyone was silent. Not only officials but generals as well. Facing absolute strength, the only thing they could do was pray that the other side wouldn’t annihilate them. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"What can we do now, we don’t even have the qualification to negotiate."

"No, there’s still a chance. After all, this war was initiated by them, and in terms of War God level, the other side didn’t suffer losses, so negotiation is still possible. Your Majesty, perhaps a marriage alliance."

Sending a princess, that’s indeed a good idea. If the other side appreciates it, at least we won’t die.

The king will lose his authority, but these officials might not necessarily lose theirs. Changing a sovereign might even lead to better development. The king’s eyes lit up but soon dimmed.

When did it come to this for me? Looking back, only months ago, I was one of the top kings of the empire, who dared to make me retreat, yet now I’m about to lose everything.

But if I don’t do this, there will be no chance at all. If they capture the Imperial Capital, my whole family might be wiped out.

Though the rule says otherwise, the opponent’s strength is too great, and they don’t come from nobility; such people are most troublesome for many nobles because they simply don’t follow the rules of nobility.

What they don’t know is that the other empire facing the same situation is similar to their own.

With no other options, even the final choices are the same. Send out the princess, and then surrender completely. That side is worse off than ours, we still have a War God, but the other side has lost all theirs.

As a result, with no resistance from the opposing side, Du You easily devoured both empires, becoming the largest empire in the world in terms of both area and strength, bar none.

An instant change sparked high vigilance among the remaining six empires. No one expected such a powerful nation would emerge from such a remote battlefield, and now the threat of this nation is fully revealed.

This powerful empire created purely by military might poses such a great threat, we must handle it carefully.
