Chapter 338 Dimensionality Reduction Strike
The King of Kuroshio had just put on his armor and his troops had not yet assembled when the capital came under attack.

"Lord! The city has been breached! Let us help you escape!"

When this bad news reached the ears of the King of the Kuroshio Kingdom, he was completely stunned and felt like he was dreaming.

The enemy had just breached their most important port, and then they had already reached the capital? And they had even breached the city?!
"Asshole! What nonsense are you talking about? How is this possible?!"

Obviously, the King of the Black Tide State was unwilling to believe this, but the shouting and killing in the capital forced him to face this reality. It seemed that their capital was really about to be breached.

"Lord! Don't hesitate! Let's go first!"

His subordinates quickly advised him that as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!
If the king and his family were to be wiped out by the enemy here, then their Kuroshio Kingdom would be completely finished.

Although they all lived on the island of "Wakoku" and knew that the entire "Wakoku" was once a unified country "Shinwa", after years of division, they had long formed a new sense of identity with the country in which they lived.

For these people, they are not "Gods and People", they are just "Kuroshio people". People outside the Kuroshio country and people from other countries also think that they are Kuroshio people. No one mentions the unified "Gods and People" anymore. Everyone has their own new identity.

"No! Run? Where can I run to? This is my home! They should be the ones to leave! Warriors! Follow me into battle and kill the enemy! The Black Tide Nation may be huge, but we have nowhere to retreat!"

However, the King of the Black Tide Kingdom did not intend to run away. This was his royal city and the capital. If he could not even protect this place, then even if he ran to other cities, he would only be able to survive.

The capital of Kuroshio Kingdom is the most developed place in the entire country. Without the capital, Kuroshio Kingdom is only in name only. All other places combined cannot be as developed as the capital!
"Lord of the country!"

The choice made by the leader of the Kuroshio Kingdom obviously surprised everyone. At this point, the leader actually showed extraordinary courage. Many people were infected and chose to follow the leader of the Kuroshio Kingdom. They will face the final doomsday together with the Kuroshio Kingdom.

The King of the Black Tide State, with his assembled men, rushed out of the Imperial Palace and broke out towards the city gate of the capital.

Although the king himself did not want to escape, he was willing to give his family a chance to survive. After breaking through the city gate and sending his family out, he would continue to fight in the capital with his warriors until all invaders were defeated!

"boom!"

On the street, the king of the Kuroshio Kingdom who was charging towards the imperial army was blown away by a cannon. The soldiers of the Kuroshio Kingdom were terrified. The king was blown into countless pieces.

The death of the king made the resistance forces leaderless and they were quickly wiped out one by one. Everything ended so suddenly. The resistance of the Kuroshio army was declared over.

The rebels were all slaughtered. Some people wanted to defect at the last minute, but their request was rejected and they were all treated as rebels and dealt with together.

Not long after, the capital of Kuroshio was completely liberated, and following that, almost the entire Kuroshio nation surrendered.

There was no way. The elite troops of the Kuroshio Kingdom were basically stationed in the capital. After the royal family was destroyed and the capital fell, other places naturally could not form any effective resistance.

"This country is even weaker than I imagined."

Esdeath felt unsatisfied that a national regime had been destroyed so easily. This broken place was simply pushed down smoothly and the enemy didn't even organize any decent resistance.

That's right, the counterattack launched by the King of the Black Tide Nation at the risk of his life was not even an effective resistance in Esdeath's eyes, but just a struggle of an ant before death.

After this battle, Esdeath felt that the previous war predictions were too conservative. Why would they need follow-up troops? Their vanguard alone could capture the entire island!

Of course, in essence, the reason why a large force is needed is not because they cannot win the battle. The arrival of the large force is to be able to implement strict military control. After all, such a large island cannot be managed by just the people in their vanguard army.

“Which country will be the next target?”

Esdeath looked at Ke Ling. Although she said "boring", she actually acted impatiently and didn't seem to feel "boring" at all.

"Let's take down these ones along the southern coast first."

Ke Ling looked at the map. The map of the island country on the imperial weapon [World Encyclopedia·Longolongo] was becoming clearer and clearer, especially the sphere of influence of the Kuroshio Country, which had become almost the same as other places in the empire.

Facts have once again proved that the map on this [World Encyclopedia·Longolongo] will change as the sphere of influence expands.

As Ke Ling's order was issued, the Imperial Expeditionary Force once again began its conquest, using the Kuroshio Kingdom as a base and launching attacks on other surrounding countries. Their attitude was extremely arrogant, and they even attacked from multiple fronts, not treating the surrounding countries as human beings at all.

As for those countries that were hit hard by the Imperial Expeditionary Force, they were stunned at the first moment and were defeated all the way, allowing the Imperial Expeditionary Force to quickly occupy a lot of territory.

By the time the surrounding countries reacted, the Empire's expeditionary forces had already reached their doorsteps and were in imminent danger of national destruction.

Under pressure, these coastal countries of the West Island, which had originally not had a very good relationship with them, actually formed an alliance to fight against the Imperial Expeditionary Force.

Unfortunately, however, their coalition forces did not have any effect and were still easily defeated by the Imperial Expeditionary Force.

If we have to say what the coalition forces did, it was probably that they saved the Imperial Expeditionary Force some trouble. It was indeed easier to solve the problem in one go, rather than having to defeat them one by one.

The twenty-four countries on these islands are called twenty-four countries, but many of them are just for numbers. They are not very strong and their lands have always been occupied by other big countries.

Of course, even those big countries are of average strength, not even as good as the corrupt Western Kingdom and the Maurya Kingdom. However, this comparison is not fair. We should compare them with the "Divine Harmony" unified by the twenty-four countries. These countries are not comparable now.

Soon, the entire southwestern coastal area of ​​"Japan" was captured by the Imperial Expeditionary Force, leaving only one small country.

"Canghai Country is the country that borders the most with the central part of the island country. After taking it, we can directly enter the central area of ​​the island country."

Ke Ling looked at the map. The remaining small country was called Canghai Kingdom and its location was very important.

"Wakoku" is a large island group, which is composed of many islands. The largest island in the middle is the traditional "Wakoku". These southwestern coastal countries are in the West Island. Although the West Island is connected to the big island, there are not many places connected. Canghai Kingdom is located in such a connection position, similar to the strait between Honshu Island and Kyushu Island, except that it is connected by land.

Although the area of ​​Canghai Kingdom is not large, it can trade with the South China Sea and do business with other countries on the island. It also has abundant seafood, warm and stable climate, and unique land, so its strength is not weak.

After all, the location of Canghai Kingdom is a battleground for military strategists. In order to gain a foothold here, one must have sufficient strength.

The Canghai Kingdom wants to engage in ocean trade, so it is naturally very good at naval warfare. The countries on the eastern island cannot defeat them even by sea.

On land, the Canghai Kingdom has an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack "Shiranui Fortress" built according to the natural barriers, which firmly blocks the narrow connection between the main island and the West Island. With this strong pass and the cooperation of the navy, it can be said that it is truly a one-man-guard-ten thousand-men defenseless.

Over the years, the national situation of Canghai Kingdom has been very stable. Although there have been occasional frictions with foreign enemies, their territory has always been well maintained. With only occasional expansion, they have never lost territory. The spirit of the entire country is different, and morale is obviously higher than that of other countries.

"This is bad. I'm afraid we have become the target of those imperial people."

In the imperial city of Canghai Kingdom, the king of Canghai Kingdom summoned all his ministers with great concern. He was really a little nervous.

All other countries on the West Island were wiped out by these imperial people, leaving only their Canghai Kingdom, which had a special location, and it seemed that they could not escape at the moment.

Although the Canghai Kingdom had always been able to successfully keep the enemy out, this time, facing the aggressive imperial army, even the ruler of the Canghai Kingdom had lost all his confidence. There was nothing he could do, after all, the entire West Island had been conquered by the enemy!
At this point, the King of Canghai Kingdom certainly already knew the identities of those mysterious invaders. They claimed to be from the western empire, from that mysterious country, which cast a filter over these invaders.

"Wakoku" had very little communication with the empire and knew very little about the empire. This first close contact opened the eyes of these "Wakoku" people, shocked them, and left them dumbfounded.

"If you have any good ideas, please tell me."

After the King of Canghai Kingdom summoned his ministers, he immediately began to ask them for advice, as he himself was helpless in the face of this situation.

"We must figure out what these imperialists want. These invaders from the mysterious western continent are extremely powerful. Perhaps we can avoid their edge and cooperate with them instead, diverting the trouble to others. In this way, we may be able to avoid destruction!"

A minister stood up and made a suggestion. This was actually a rather euphemistic way of putting it. It meant that the Canghai Kingdom should act as a guide for the Imperial people, allowing the Imperial people to directly enter the main island and fight, in exchange for the continued existence of their Canghai Kingdom.

"No! How can we easily trust those foreigners?! Letting them pass through our Canghai Country is like sticking our necks out for them to chop off!"

This compromising proposal immediately attracted a lot of rebuttals, and many people even started cursing.

The people of Canghai, who had never experienced turmoil, were obviously still a little temperamental. Each of them was full of fighting spirit, and looked like they were ready to fight the imperial people to the death.

The King of Canghai State rubbed his brows, feeling confused and not knowing what decision to make.

Just when the King of Canghai Kingdom was struggling, a communications soldier rushed in. He had a painful expression on his face and started shouting loudly as soon as he came in.

"Lord! The Imperials are attacking! The Imperial Navy has been completely wiped out!"

As the signalman finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent, and one could hear a pin drop. Everyone seemed to have stopped in time!
"So you still have to listen to me! It's not too late to surrender to the Imperials!"

The minister who had just proposed to be the guide jumped up. He was so scolded just now that his head was shaking all of a sudden.

The imperial people were so powerful that they gave him spiritual support, allowing him to start fighting with other people in the palace again. As for why he didn't fight with force? Of course, it was because there were few people supporting him just now.

"."

At this point, the voices of opposition suddenly became smaller. There was no other way. They had lost their confidence. If the navy couldn't win, then the army would certainly be even worse off. After all, they were better at naval battles.

"what happened?"

The Lord of Canghai Nation widened his eyes, unable to believe it. Their powerful navy had actually been completely annihilated? Even if they were a group of pigs, they couldn't be completely annihilated so quickly, right? !

At this moment, the King of Canghai Kingdom thought a lot, but no matter how he thought, he could not think of any possibility of winning. The imperial people were completely using a dimensionality reduction attack on them.

"Surrender?"

The corner of Esdeath's mouth twitched. Looking at the envoy from the Canghai Kingdom in front of her, she wished she could kill this envoy directly.

But Esdeath didn't do that, because she is no longer the same person she used to be, and Ke Ling would not allow her to do that.

"alright."

Esdeath waved her hand and accepted the surrender of the Canghai Kingdom.

“I haven’t stated the conditions yet.”

The messenger was stunned for a moment, then spoke, saying that this agreement was too hasty, they were not surrendering unconditionally, he still had conditions that he hadn't stated!
"Needless to say, either surrender and let me deal with you, or wait to die."

Esdeath had a smile on her face, but her words were so cold that the messenger was terrified and dared not speak again.

Just like this, in a confused state, the Canghai Kingdom opened the city gates and chose to surrender. After the surrender, the powerful people were completely confused. What happened to the promise that they would have similar treatment as before?
"never heard of that."

Esdeath's answer was very direct. She did not lie. She indeed did not listen to all the other conditions proposed by the envoy, so the dignitaries of Canghai Kingdom suffered the same fate.

The entire West Island and other places have cleared out the local dignitaries, and Canghai Country is naturally no exception. Even if these dignitaries surrendered on their own, they could not escape this purge. This is all in preparation for future governance to prevent them from jumping out and causing trouble again.
