Daqin: You were asked to build the Great Wall and you destroyed the Huns?

Chapter 416 Incorporated into Great Qin
The next day, Antioch Castle.

The wind and sand blew, and the number of servants dropped sharply.

The majestic palace in the past seemed a little desolate at this time.

Antiochus III sat on the throne and glanced at the princes and ministers below.

He nodded expressionlessly.

The attendants respectfully stepped forward, picked up the eight rolls of sheepskins on the table, and handed them to the ministers.

The exclamation sounded almost instantly.

"What kind of peace treaty is this? They want us to become slaves!"

"If this is what it says, why are we still fighting for so long?"

"It's better to just surrender."

The other ministers who had read the eight sheepskin treaties were also angry and resisted.

Antiochus III's eyes glowed again.

"King, we will defend Seleucus to the death."

He stood up from the throne.

But now, there are these noble ministers.

He has been using various means to maintain his subordinates' ambition to fight to the death.

This gave Antiochus III some hope.

Suddenly, I felt like we were united.

The ministers all wanted to negotiate peace, and some governors even threatened to break away from Seleucid.

He looked carefully at every powerful official who announced the main battle.

I can't say that I still have the possibility of turning defeat into victory.

"King, I absolutely cannot agree to this."

Originally, as long as Seleucus signed these, he would no longer have the ability to resist.

"These small countries dare to speak arrogantly. If they agree, our Seleucid dynasty will never be able to succeed again."

Most of them were governors of the areas surrounding the capital.

But they have always only cared about their own family interests.

He had long hoped that his ministers would have the consciousness to live and die with the dynasty.

But the ministers became more and more angry as they talked, and all kinds of main battle words came together.

"Yes! Please allow the king to continue fighting!"

"At worst, keep fighting them, and they won't even think about feeling better until the end!"

The beard on Governor Nutt's face almost stood up.

He believed that with his own abilities, he could secretly develop and expand armaments as long as he could gain a few years of stability.

If they can really work together.

But at this moment, I started to really think about it.

"Please, Your Majesty, be firm in your intention to fight."

It will definitely make Seleucus strong again.

Each holds real power and military strength.

Let him, who was already discouraged, bring up his unwillingness again.

A few days ago, these ministers kept complaining.

Antiochus III glanced below at the ministers with firm faces.

Antioch's eyelids raised slightly in surprise.

Unexpectedly, when they were close to the desperate situation, these people woke up.

All the ministers cheered in unison.

With the unwavering support of these people, I wonder if I want to sign these treaties.

Instead, I gained the confidence to endure hardships.

If the fighting continues at the front, the last tens of thousands of soldiers will be exhausted, and Seleucus will completely lose the ability to negotiate.

I have never thought of surrendering or other weak actions on your part.

Antiochus III could no longer contain his excitement.

The palms of his hands clenched subconsciously.

Why do all these people look different today?
Antiochus III narrowed his eyes, a little wary.

He shouted angrily at the surrounding people with a ferocious face.

"it is good!"

"Since you are so determined, what do I have to fear?"

"Then we will fight to the end, shed every last drop of blood, and never let the villains of the Eight Kingdoms succeed!"

Antiochus III's eyes were fierce.

The powerful ministers below also showed joy on their faces.

Governor Nat even laughed heartily.

Antiochus III immediately gave the order.

"Then gather all your forces."

"We will fight the enemy in the southern city of Nieke!"

He looked excited, but as soon as he finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell into silence.

It seemed as if all the excitement just now was actually in vain.

Governor Nut, who still had a smile on his face, took a step forward with his eyes narrowed.

"I support the king in this decisive battle. This is our final chance to turn defeat into victory."

Antiochus III, who was supported again, had a smile on his face.

But the next moment, Governor Nut said again.

"However, there is one thing we need to worry about, and that is that the Roman Republic is too strong."

"If they are among them, even if we gather all the troops in the country, we will have no hope of victory."

"So Wei Chen thought it would be better to agree to the treaty with Rome."

"This not only eliminates the strongest enemy, but also allows us to take the opportunity to catch the other seven countries off guard."

"What's more, all the Roman Republic wants is a port."

"It won't have much impact on the dynasty."

Turner kept talking and gave many reasons one after another.

But listen carefully, they are all trying to persuade Antiochus III to agree to the treaty with Rome.

It turned out that after a long round of detours, the most trusted governor under his command had made a choice.

Without waiting for Antiochus III to react.

The other nobles couldn't hold it any longer.

Seeing that Antiochus III might agree, they hurriedly raised objections.

"Rome is too far away. Even if they don't agree, they can't really cross several countries to attack." "They are just bluffing."

"If you ask me, I should agree to the treaty of the Tomele Dynasty."

"After all, they and we were once a dynasty of brothers."

"As long as we sign it, they can even help us fight back against other countries."

"Isn't it better than a Rome that only talks empty words?"

Immediately afterwards, one powerful minister after another and one noble after another.

They represent their own interests and symbolize the infiltration and division of various countries into the Seleucids.

They quarreled with each other.

Even regardless of each other's status.

They just wanted to persuade Antiochus III to move closer to the forces behind them.

The smile froze on his face, and his boiling blood was once again washed cold by malice.

Antiochus III's originally worried heart was completely shattered.

He weakly sat back on the throne, laughing miserably as he listened to the noise in his ears.

The ancient Seleucid kingdom has been in ruins for hundreds of years, but now none of its loyal ministers have spoken out.

He clearly wanted to be the leader of the revival, but he became the king of the country's subjugation!

What's wrong with him?

At this moment, Antiochus II was so humiliated that he wanted to commit suicide.

He did not stop the noisy ministers.

Just quietly left alone.

Return to the observatory in the backyard of the palace.

Sit there quietly.

He knew that Seleucus was completely finished.

These people no longer have the slightest will to resist.

They have already chosen their respective masters, and what follows is just a performance at the dinner table.

In the end, only the Seleucid royal family disappeared!

The sky gradually darkens and stars fill the sky.

But there was only despair in Antiochus III's heart.

Antiochus III tremblingly walked to the edge of the high-hanging viewing platform.

Slowly closed his eyes.

Just when he wanted to end his useless life, there was a burst of applause behind him.

A guard with an ordinary face sneered and mocked.

"It's good to die. As long as you die, Seleu's ancient rapid decline will have an explanation."

"It wasn't until the collapse of the dynasty that you suddenly woke up, only to find that you were unable to reverse it and could only commit suicide in shame!"

"In this way, all the guilt and humiliation of the entire dynasty will be pushed onto you."

"Everything is a foolish move made by you, the third generation."

"You will become the most famous, most conspicuous, and most memorable king in Seleucid history! Shame!"

"Die, it's better to die!"

Under the mocking gaze of the guard, Antiochus III could not help clenching his fists again.

After a long time, the palms loosened.

He just said it as if he was resigned to his fate.

"Da Qin is so confident that I will rely on you?"

The guard stopped smiling.

He said something coldly.

"It's not about confidence, it's about the only way you can go!"

"Even if you don't want to, the greed of the Seleucid nobles and the Eight-Nation Alliance will push you to this point!"

The guard seemed to have let go of his restraints.

He stretched out his hand to tear off the disguised beard.

"And you are at best the icing on the cake for Da Qin."

"The Maurya Dynasty has been completely pacified by His Majesty."

"Even without you, can Parthia stop the Qin's westward expansion?"

The guard's words made Antiochus III freeze in place.

Is the Maurya dynasty gone?
Antiochus III recalled the incredible territory map uncontrollably.

The above clearly describes how terrifying the monsters hidden in the darkness in the east are.

That's right, according to that territory, the Maurya Dynasty was just a bigger ant compared to it.

It's not surprising that it actually became a reality.

The guard walked up to Antiochus III, his eyes burning.

"Sir only gave you one chance."

"Before the night fades, tell me, did Seleucus choose to perish at the hands of the Eight Kingdoms?"

"Do you want to become a king who will subjugate your country?"

"Or will Seleucus become the alliance of Great Qin? Will you become the rejuvenating leader of the Seleucid clan?"

After the words fell, the guard walked quietly to the edge of the observatory and waited quietly.

Antiochus III slumped to the ground weakly, holding his hair and looking very painful.

Time passed by breath by breath until the warm darkness began to fade away.

The biting morning is about to strike again, accompanied by the ugly faces of those nobles.

Only then did Antiochus III open his eyes.

Yeah, think about it.

If he died, all the blame would be placed on him by these traitorous nobles.

When future generations evaluate him, they will only say that he is incompetent.

His desperate eyes gradually regained their clarity.

Antiochus III looked up at the rising sun in the east.

They are all going to perish anyway, so it is better to turn the world upside down than to die in humiliation.

Now that Seleucid is going to disappear, then these nobles who caused the collapse of the dynasty and the eight kingdoms who colluded together.

No one wants to feel better!

When the first ray of sunlight shines on the observatory.

Antiochus III straightened his back again.

"Tell Zhang Liang that Seleucus agreed to merge with Qin!"
