Chapter 744 The final madness
Oracle calendar year 1 BC, March.
Lu Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tianying Empire, attained the throne of God, and three days later, he sent an army of 200,000 elite troops to personally conquer the surviving Star Luo Empire.
At this time, the Star Luo Empire was originally attacked by a large army led by several generals from the Tianying Empire and several titled Douluo experts from the Wuhun Palace. It was retreating steadily, and its territory continued to fall. It almost lost the area directly under the original Star Luo Empire. A third of it.
Now that Lu Yuan has announced that he will lead an army and all the powerful men of the Tianying Empire to conquer the Star Luo Empire, it has made people in the Star Luo Empire panic and fearful.
But even so, the Star Luo Empire relied on the grievances and hatred of its people who had been at war with the Tiandou Empire for generations, and still stubbornly resisted the Tianying Empire's army.
But just like the cavalry of the Six Kingdoms and the Qin Kingdom in Lu Yuan's previous life, even though the people of the Six Kingdoms regarded Da Qin as a tiger, wolf, and enemy bandit.
But Qin's cavalry looks down upon the world and is unstoppable. In the face of absolute power, hatred plays a very small role.
By July of the same year.
Wherever Lu Yuan's army passed, he did not need to take action. The army won the victory and captured the main city.
only……
Looking at the hateful looks shown by the people of the Star Luo Empire from time to time, Lu Yuan knew that he and his empire had not yet completely conquered these lands and people.
He shook his head, but he knew not to rush things.
These hatreds can only be resolved by time and the empire's gentle methods.
And he has plenty of time and is willing to use gentle means to resolve the hatred in the hearts of these people.
Until the people of the Star Luo Empire completely became the people of the Tianying Empire.
At this moment, there are less than two months left before the day that later generations call it the "Day of Tribulation" and the horrific event that history calls "Darkness Comes" erupts...
…
Star Luo City.
"Your Majesty! Urgent report from the front! Chike City has been captured by the enemy, and General Vickers, the general who defended the city, has been killed in the line of duty!"
"Your Majesty! Urgent report from the front line! Ruoze City has been captured by the enemy, and the general who defended the city, General Wang Feng, died in the line of duty!"
"Your Majesty! Urgent report from the front! Trick City requests reinforcements from the imperial army!"
"Your Majesty! Urgent report from the front! Nankaicheng city guard general Yi Zi led the city to surrender!"
"Your Majesty! Urgent report from the front..."
…
Urgent reports coming from the front line one after another made Dai Mubai extremely anxious.
He was in his study, constantly dealing with political affairs coming from the front lines of the empire. At the same time, he had to stabilize the rear of the Star Luo Empire so that the cities in the rear could maintain supplies to the front lines.
However, no matter how hard he tried, and worked diligently on political affairs for two days and two nights, news of defeats on the front line continued to come.
Dai Mubai, who hadn't slept a wink in the past two days and two nights, now heard the news of defeats coming from the front line, and his evil eyes were already bloodshot.
But over this period of time, he has actually become numb.
Yeah, numb.
Isn't it normal for the Star Luo Empire to lose to the powerful army of the Sky Shadow Empire on the front line?
In fact, Dai Mubai had already prepared in his heart. He... was very likely to be the last emperor of the Star Luo Empire.
But even if he is the emperor of the subjugated country, the people of the Star Luo Empire and the ancestors of all generations will not blame him, right?
After all, it's not his fault.
Just like some of the last emperors in Lu Yuan's previous life, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Ai of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Mate of the Song Dynasty, and Emperor Chongzhen. They were indeed subjugated emperors.
But if the country dies, is it their problem?
There is no stupidity among them. On the contrary, Emperor Xian and Chongzhen of the Han Dynasty are trying every means to revitalize the country even in desperate situations.
Sometimes, however, hard work really doesn't help.
You must have that strength and your efforts will be useful.
Dai Mubai clearly felt this at this moment. No matter how hard he tried, it would be difficult to restore this precarious empire.
This is not the reason for his incompetence.
It must be said that when Dai Qingxiao handed over the Xingluo Empire to him, the empire had declined due to the previous war.
But if you really want to talk about it, you can't blame your father, Dai Qingxiao.
After all...their father and son were facing a peerless genius who could seek to usurp the throne, establish himself as emperor, defeat the Spirit Hall, and even achieve the status of a god!
There is only one such person in the history of Douluo Continent, Lu Yuan.
So Dai Mubai was a little numb. If you lose, just lose. It's not a crime of war. He can't do anything. Naturally, the generals on the front line can't do anything either.
After hearing that someone was leading the city to surrender, he stood up in disbelief and stared at the messenger in front of him.
"What did you say?!"
Dai Mubai's evil eyes turned completely red, like a madman.
At this time, Zhu Zhuqing came in with a bowl of medicinal food.
"Your Majesty... you are tired too. Eat something first..."
She was a little worried as Dai Mubai said.
However, there was a sound of smashing things in the study at this time.
“Boom—bang—!”
Like a madman, Dai Mubai smashed the desk in front of him in half, and then pushed all the vases and books beside him to the ground.
"Bastard! Waste! Coward! Son of a bitch! The empire gives them so much food and salary, so much salary. Is this how they repay the empire and repay me?!"
"How dare he?! As a minister, he has to share the worries of the empire and me! Die in battle and be shrouded in horse leather! It's his duty!"
"I just keep a dog! It will bite people for me! It will wag its tail at me! Those who surrender! They are simply worse than pigs and dogs! They are worse than pigs and dogs!"
…
Dai Mubai went crazy like this, his soul power exploded completely, smashing and tearing everything in the study.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Suddenly, the palace ladies, messengers and guards all fell to their knees on the ground, sweating all over their bodies, and said in fear.
"His Majesty……"
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing outside the study sighed. She quickly came in and shouted softly.
Hearing what seemed to be Zhu Zhuqing's voice, Dai Mubai seemed to gradually regain his composure.
He looked at Zhu Zhuqing who walked in slowly, finally stopped throwing and fell weakly on the smooth floor.
Zhu Zhuqing slowly came to Dai Mubai and said gently, "Your Majesty, eat something first. You haven't eaten for a while."
She knew the crisis the Star Luo Empire was facing now, and she also knew the pressure on Dai Mubai.
She also knew that it was very likely that she and Dai Mubai would become the subjugated empress of the Star Luo Empire in the future.
But she didn't care, just like when Dai Mubai ran away, she would go to the Tiandou Empire to look for Dai Mubai and follow Dai Mubai.
Even if it means death, she is not afraid.
Dai Mubai's hands were trembling as he took the warm medicinal meal from Zhu Zhuqing's hand, "Zhuqing... I'm so scared..."
"Mubai... don't be afraid. I'm still by your side. The worst we can do is go to hell together." Zhu Zhuqing comforted her softly.
She no longer called Dai Mubai your majesty, but called his name softly as before.
"Together we go to hell...yes, it's just death."
Dai Mubai seemed to be calmer and took the medicinal meal and swallowed it in one gulp.
"But... I am the emperor! The emperor of the Star Luo Empire! You are the queen! I am Dai Mubai's queen!"
A crazy look flashed in his eyes, "Even if we die, we must die grandly! Die in a way that will be remembered by the world!"
