Dragon's Origin

Chapter 394: Annihilation of a Kingdom (Part 2)

The reaction of the five kingdom rulers was almost identical, even their emotions were the same. Their first reaction after reading the national letter was anger.

Of course, this anger was directed at the incompetent envoy they had sent, and then at the three kingdoms.

Weren't we all supposed to disregard the Emperor? How come our people were left behind when yours went out? What happened to sticking together?

Of course, this anger could only be expressed within their own palaces. Despite their rage, after receiving these three national letters, the five kingdoms knew that there was no longer any opportunity to interfere with Triumphant Palace.

Tang, Xia, and Feng kingdoms had the Emperor's decree, rightfully occupying the territory. If they were to intervene, they would lack legitimacy and might even face the consequence of being besieged by the three kingdoms, which wasn't worth it.

However, the Triumphant Kingdom's incident allowed everyone to see an opportunity. It turned out that they weren't without a chance to expand their territory again. As long as there was an opportunity to accuse someone they disliked of disrespecting the Emperor, they could legitimately divide the other party. This was a good thing!

Unable to catch up with the Triumphant Kingdom, they could slowly wait for the next opportunity. First, they would see how the Triumphant Kingdom was handled this time, whether it could benefit everyone. If they could truly satisfy the three kingdoms, then they could unite and find the next unlucky target.

Song Kingdom reacted the fastest, immediately giving a response. Did the three kingdoms need help? Song Kingdom could help, without wanting land or people, just treating it as the three kingdoms hiring some experts, paying gold coins according to the Worry-Free City's price. They had as many experts as needed, how about it?

The more experts there were, the more likely the war of annihilation would succeed. Moreover, this was Song Kingdom formally communicating with national letters, so they couldn't go back on their word. The three kingdoms were naturally happy. Thus, five hundred experts from Song Kingdom quickly rushed to the Triumphant Palace, joining the process of killing Triumphant Palace's experts and disintegrating the Triumphant Palace as soon as possible.

Of course, these experts were definitely accompanied by experts from the three kingdoms. After the battle, everyone could pick some spoils within reasonable limits, but the biggest benefits were definitely handled by the three kingdoms.

With Song Kingdom taking the lead, how could the other four countries not know what to do? Since they couldn't catch up with dividing the Triumphant Kingdom's main share, it wouldn't be too much to get a little soup, right? So everyone followed suit, communicated with the three kingdoms according to Song Kingdom's intention, and the three kingdoms gladly nodded. Experts from all sides immediately rushed into the Triumphant Kingdom like wolves and tigers.

Within ten days, nearly three thousand experts above the fifth level of cultivation from the five countries rushed into the Triumphant Kingdom. So many experts could be said to be unstoppable, cutting through thorns and waves all the way, and they arrived at the Triumphant Kingdom's capital in just a few days.

Originally, under the siege of experts from the three kingdoms, the Triumphant Palace was already in critical condition and could not hold on. Now, with the addition of experts from the five countries, it directly became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The experts of Triumphant Palace gathered in the capital did not even last for three days before they were all wiped out. Those who died, died; those who surrendered, surrendered; not even one escaped.

The Palace Master of Triumphant Palace, as the kingdom's ruler, was besieged in the capital. After fighting hard, he died under the siege of several experts. This was a war of annihilation, how could they allow a kingdom's ruler to live and leave future troubles? Not to mention the kingdom's ruler, even the entire harem of the kingdom's ruler, as long as they were male, were all beheaded.

However, the Triumphant Palace's desperate counterattack did not come without casualties for all parties. Since the beginning of the attack, all parties had killed at least two thousand people from the Triumphant Palace. All parties combined had also suffered the deaths of hundreds of experts, but that was all. After all, the major vassal states occupied an absolute numerical advantage, and the quality of experts was also much higher than that of the Triumphant Palace. A casualty ratio of one to twenty could definitely be said to be a glorious victory.

The Triumphant Kingdom's army was basically composed of cultivators below the third level of cultivation. In the eyes of the experts from various countries, they were simply not worth mentioning. As long as the leading generals and officers were killed, a few experts could control thousands of people, and there was no chance for them to take action.

These relatively ordinary soldiers were also sensible and did not resist fiercely. They watched the experts fight obediently, they were just escorts. After all, the Triumphant Kingdom had only been established for a few years. The Triumphant Palace, as a hidden sect, had not managed the secular world much before. These soldiers did not have much sense of belonging to the Triumphant Kingdom. They would follow whoever was stronger!

In one battle, in less than half a month, the Triumphant Kingdom, which was thousands of miles in radius, was completely taken down by experts from various countries. Then, the experts from the three kingdoms first controlled the local governments, slowly restored order, searched the treasury, and dealt with the prisoners. As for the mercenary experts from the five countries, they reluctantly left first, waiting for the three kingdoms to deliver rewards and compensation afterwards.

At this point, except for the group of experts from Triumphant Palace who were building a camp in the Thousand Desolation Land, the Triumphant Palace no longer had any remaining power, and the huge territory was completely controlled by the three kingdoms.

The three kingdoms had already agreed with the other five countries that the group of experts in the Thousand Desolation Land could be handed over to the five countries for disposal. They could kill them if they wanted, or subdue them if they wanted. After all, the five countries had contributed and couldn't get nothing. Even the camp of the Triumphant Kingdom could be handed over to the five countries for disposal. As for how they divided it and how they suppressed those experts, that was a matter for the five countries themselves.

During the battle, the representatives of the five countries in the capital had already been hurriedly recalled. Upon returning to their respective capitals, they were greeted with a scolding.

Not only the kingdom's ruler, but also the entire family's council of elders and important officials, all scolded them mercilessly. In the first war of annihilation and division of the Triumphant Kingdom, they had lost a great opportunity because of a few ignorant guys who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.

Not to mention the family's higher-ups, even their own parents were furious. They had worked so hard to find them a good position. As long as they did their best and served as a mouthpiece between the Emperor in the capital and the kingdom's ruler, it would be a great achievement. Who knew they would be so stupid, so hopelessly stupid.

That was the Emperor, even if it was acting, you should show some respect, right? You actually stood up and left on the spot when the Emperor pleaded. Who gave you the guts?

The five representatives were dumbfounded when they received the news on the way. Who knew that their arrogant disregard for the Emperor at the time would have such consequences? But they didn't dare not return when the family summoned them, so they could only bite the bullet and go back, preparing to welcome the family's thunderous rage.

No one cared about how the unlucky guys were dealt with. The news that the Triumphant Kingdom was destroyed and the Palace Master of Triumphant Palace was killed spread to the capital. The Emperor had a smile on his face almost all day long. Even Chief Steward Li and others had never seen the Emperor so happy.
