954 Japan surrenders
In the splendid and solemn hall of Japan, the candlelight flickered, but it could not reflect the glory and tranquility of the past, but instead added a bit of eeriness and deathly silence.
There was an indescribable heaviness in the air, as if time had frozen at this moment.
Inside the main hall, the scene was horrific, with the body of Japan's most noble figure - the Emperor - lying quietly on the high platform, with a distorted face and eyes filled with reluctance and astonishment.
The corpses of ministers were scattered around. They either huddled or struggled, but in the end they could not escape the invisible claws. Suffocation became their common fate.
The instigator of this catastrophe was a young man from the Xia Kingdom wearing casual clothes.
He is like a demon that walked out of ancient legends. Wherever he goes, everything trembles.
His power is absolute and irresistible in this land.
When he casually killed all the Japanese nobles and slowly walked out of the hall.
Every step is taken on the heart of Japan, and no one dares to stop it.
The sky outside is still clear, and the sun shines through the clouds, but it cannot shine into the palace city shrouded in despair.
The soldiers held weapons, but they were as stiff as puppets. There was both fear and anger in their eyes, but no one dared to take that step to challenge the arrogant beast master.
The officials' faces were as pale as earth. They knew that in this world where the strong were respected, any resistance would be futile.
All around, there was deathly silence.
People in Japan are full of doubts and despair. They don't understand why such a powerful existence has descended on their country, and they don't understand the root of all this.
Li Qingzhou, the mythical beast master, just glanced at these tiny creatures, with a disdainful smile on his lips, and then turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the sky, leaving behind a devastated day. country, and countless broken hearts.
...........
With the disastrous defeat of the Allied Forces of the Beautiful Country and the Japanese Country at the border of Xia Country, and the chain reaction caused by this battle, the whole world seemed to have been dropped a shock bomb, and the news spread to every corner like wildfire.
The fall of the Japanese Emperor not only marked the end of an era, but also plunged the entire Japanese society into unprecedented panic and chaos.
The collective disappearance of the powerful class has caused the state machine to lose its core, leaving a power vacuum.
At the center of this storm, Li Qingzhou's name is like the brightest star in the night sky, bright and terrifying.
He is not only a mythical beast master, but also a legendary figure who single-handedly overturned the pattern of war.
Word of mouth tells how he shuttled among thousands of troops, as if entering a deserted land, and used his otherworldly strength to eliminate Japan's ruling class one by one, showing almost god-like power.
Every inch of Japan's land is shrouded in the shadow of terror cast by him, and the people's hearts are filled with uncertainty and fear about the future.
In the secret rooms of Japan's few remaining central officials, the atmosphere was solemn and depressing.
They sat around a table, and everyone's face was full of anxiety and helplessness.
Discussions continued one after another, but all of them centered on how to deal with this sudden crisis.
"Li Qingzhou's strength has exceeded our imagination. He is not only a military threat, but also a mental pressure."
An official said in a deep voice, his voice revealing a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Perhaps we can ask the beautiful country for help. They are a big country in the world and they must have a way to deal with Li Qingzhou." An official suggested.
"Seeking external assistance? But that is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. Although the beautiful country is strong, how confident can it be in the face of such an existence? What's more, they themselves have just experienced a major defeat and have not recovered their strength." Another official He shook his head and sighed, his eyes full of worry.
"Indeed, we cannot place our hopes on uncertain external forces. And the news that Li Qingzhou is about to go to the beautiful country puts us in a dilemma."
Another person added, his eyes wandering among the people, as if looking for a spark of hope.
"Maybe we should face reality."
An older official spoke slowly. Although his voice was soft, it carried unquestionable firmness.
"To surrender to the Xia Kingdom and to Li Qingzhou, although it will sacrifice part of our independence, it can at least preserve the foundation of the country and give the people a stable living environment. Moreover, with the protection of a strong man like Li Qingzhou, perhaps Japan We can find a new position in the future landscape.”
As soon as this was said, the conference room fell into a brief silence.
Everyone is weighing the pros and cons in their minds, thinking about this seemingly humiliating decision that may be the only way out.
In the end, they had to make a difficult choice between survival and dignity.
"For the future of Japan, we are willing to express our sincerity to Xia Guo and Li Qingzhou."
An official broke the silence, his voice low but full of determination.
As a result, a turning point in the fate of Japan quietly began.
...........
Soon, an envoy from the Japanese Kingdom rushed to the Xia Kingdom at Starry Night to express his willingness to submit.
These envoys are not only Japan's last hope, but also key figures in the turning point of the fate of the two countries.
What they carry is not only the decision of Japan's top leaders, but also the future destiny of the entire country.
The capital city of Xia Kingdom was brightly lit and prosperous.
When the arrival of the Japanese envoy was reported to the Great Elder of Xia, the wise and majestic old man showed a barely perceptible smile.
He knew that this was not only Japan's recognition of Xia's strength, but also an important display of Xia's influence on the international stage.
Under the personal reception of the Great Elder, the Japanese envoy respectfully presented the document of surrender, and sincerely expressed Japan's desire for peace and stability, as well as its deep expectation for Xia's protection.
After hearing this, the Great Elder looked deep, and after a little contemplation, he gladly accepted Japan's surrender with a tolerant and majestic attitude, and promised that Xia would serve as a strong backing to protect Japan's security and prosperity.
From that moment on, Japan officially became a vassal state of Xia, and the relationship between the two countries changed fundamentally.
As the price of surrender, Japan promised to pay a large amount of money and resources to Xia every year to demonstrate its loyalty and dependence on Xia.
These tributes not only enriched Xia's treasury, but also provided strong material support for Xia's development.
More importantly, all of Japan's unique pets and their training methods were also brought under the control of Xia.
These pets, as Japan's unique source of power, have always been coveted by the outside world for their unique training techniques and combat capabilities.
Through this move, Xia not only obtained valuable strategic resources, but also further consolidated its leading position in the field of animal masters.
In order to ensure Japan's stability and loyalty, Xia also assigned an elite army to Japan.
This army is not only responsible for maintaining local public security and order, but also bears the heavy responsibility of supervising Japan to fulfill its obligations of submission.
Its existence is like an invisible yoke, tightly binding Japan and Xia together to face future challenges and opportunities together.
