Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 62 King Zhao: Disaster
'Lacainia, return with your men!'

A wave of thought was transmitted into the mind of a bone dragon that was flying low over the house. This bone dragon had three dragon horns and a wingspan of more than fifty meters.

"hold head high!"

The bone dragon was stunned for a moment when it received the thought wave, and then let out a dragon roar.

"hold head high!"

The other bone dragons also roared in response, then all flapped their wings and flew high into the sky, no longer destroying and slaughtering the pass in front of them.

"flew away!"

Looking at the dozens of skull dragons flying away in the sky, the fleeing civilians and soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

That giant skeleton beast was so terrifying that they really didn’t know whether they could survive being hunted by it.

"Roar!"

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, bursts of roars began to be heard.

Then, in the streets and alleys where they had just run, countless skeleton-like undead roared and rushed towards them like evil spirits from hell, covering the streets and alleys with the color of bones like a blizzard.

"Run away!"

Looking at the skeleton soldiers coming to kill them, the Zhao soldiers and civilians running behind began to panic again. Although the terrifying skeleton beasts in the sky flew away, these skeleton soldiers were also very terrifying, and it was still not an easy task to escape.

"Badawan, after you capture the city, just chase and kill them casually for show, there's no need to really kill them all!"

Outside the pass, Fusu gave instructions to Badawan.

The undead can hunt down the enemy without sleep. If we really let the undead hunt down the fleeing Zhao soldiers and civilians, no one will be able to escape. This is not in line with our strategic goal.

What he wanted was to let those who escaped spread the fear, so that the whole State of Zhao, and even the entire Central Plains, would be shrouded in panic about himself.
-
Zhao State, Handan.

"Report!" A soldier rushed into the heavy atmosphere of the court, panting and anxiously reported: "Report, Your Majesty, Yan... Yanmen Pass was breached, and the soldiers and civilians inside the pass suffered heavy casualties."

"Yanmen Pass was breached???"

Upon hearing the soldier's report, King Zhao and all the ministers in the court were filled with disbelief.

"Are you wrong? The report of the attack on Yanmen Pass was sent in only half an hour ago! How did it break?"

A minister immediately asked. How long had it been since the soldiers who came to report that the Undead soldiers were forcing Yanmen Pass went down? It must have been less than half an hour!
"I dare not lie!" The soldier who came to report said sadly: "After the undead army arrived at Yanmen Pass, they did not stay to prepare, but directly launched a general attack. In an instant, millions of undead rushed to Yanmen Pass like a surging wave."

"Wait!" Another minister interrupted the soldier and asked, "Since you said the undead didn't have any garrison troops to prepare, how did they break into the city? Yanmen Pass is the best pass in the world. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the wall is more than 40 meters high! There are 50,000 soldiers and more than 100,000 civilians inside the pass, and there are plenty of defense supplies. Even if the undead had a million troops, it would be impossible for them to break through Yanmen Pass so quickly."

It seems that instead of thinking about fighting the enemy, he is still questioning his ministers.

The soldier who reported the incident said with fear in his eyes: "Among the undead, there is a kind of huge skeleton beast as big as a palace. Not only can it fly, but it can also spit fire. They attacked from the sky, and the soldiers guarding the city wall had no time to fight back. They were burned to death by the flames spewed by the skeleton beasts. The city was filled with flames and thick smoke. The soldiers and civilians in the city suffered heavy casualties. They fled everywhere!"

"The city wall was knocked down in two places by the gigantic skeleton beast, and a large number of undead poured in. The defenders in the city were defeated!" After hearing the soldiers' story, King Zhao and his ministers were all shocked.

Upon hearing this, the minister who was questioning was immediately furious: "You did not think about serving the country and stopping the enemy, but instead fled in defeat, putting the country in danger..."

"Enough!" Seeing that the minister had come to this point but did not think of stopping the enemy, but was still making things difficult for the soldiers, King Qian of Zhao immediately shouted at him.

Scolded by King Zhao, Doctor Song had no choice but to shut up, but he glared fiercely at the soldier who came to report.

"What a disaster!"

King Zhao sighed, looked at his ministers, and asked, "My ministers, the undead are coming aggressively now, do you have any way to repel the enemy?"

Upon hearing this, all the princes and ministers in the court looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Doctor Song, who had just loved to show off, now shrank back into the crowd.

Everyone knew that if Yanmen Pass was breached, it would mean that the Lich King's millions of undead would march straight into Zhao State and devour nearly half of Zhao State's land. And the giant skeleton beasts described by the soldiers, Zhao State might not be able to resist?
In addition, Qin also sent troops to attack. Zhao's current situation is exactly the same as what they had expected Qin to be.

However, it is not the Qin State that is in this situation now, but the Zhao State.

The country is now in danger of extinction! How can we come up with a plan to save the country so easily?

Looking at the silent ministers, King Zhao Qian looked at Doctor Song who was hiding in the crowd and asked directly: "Doctor Song, now the undead are coming aggressively, and Qin is also raising troops to attack, do you have a plan to repel the enemy?"

"This!" When being questioned, Doctor Song could only bite the bullet and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, for now, seeking peace may be the solution!"

"Are you sure you can succeed?" another minister said in a deep voice.

Among the ministers here, who doesn’t know how to seek peace? Who doesn’t want to seek peace?

Now it is the critical moment for the survival of Zhao. With such a great opportunity to annex Zhao, will the Lich King and the King of Qin make peace? Even if they do, how much will it cost to make peace?
"this···"

Doctor Song was immediately speechless.

Looking at the speechless Doctor Song, a white-haired old man finally spoke up: "Your Majesty, we can ask for peace with the Lich King and the King of Qin, and we can also ask for help from Yan, Qi, Wei, and Chu. I suggest that Doctor Song go and ask for peace with the Lich King!"

"Ah!" Doctor Song's face turned pale when he heard this.

That's the Lich King. Asking him to seek peace with the Lich King? That's the same as asking him to die!
The Lich King was described as a very ferocious and brutal being by the Donghu and Xiongnu. Even in the Qin State, rumors were circulating that the Lich King was disloyal, unfilial, cruel and tyrannical.

Asking him to represent Zhao State to seek peace with the Lich King would be like asking him to dance on a tightrope. If he is not careful, he will be crushed to pieces!
"It's better not to let Lord Song go!" A general shook his head and said sarcastically, "It's okay to let him bully the soldiers by relying on his status, but he is not cut out to negotiate with the Lich King! He doesn't have the determination! Don't let the Lich King scare him to death with just a glance, otherwise it will only bring shame to the State of Zhao!"

Despite being ridiculed in this way, Song Kuang was not angry at all. Instead, he agreed very much in his heart.

Looking at the worthless Doctor Song, King Zhao nodded and said, "He is definitely not the right person for this! Then who should we let negotiate with the Lich King?"
