The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 558 The Timurid Empire's Surprise Attack
The emperor of the Delhi Sultanate looked at the assembled officials below the court with disbelief.

"What did you say?"

"How is it possible that Timurid's army is stationed on our border?"

"We are allies with the Timurid Empire!"

"How did they end up on our border!"

The court officials looked at each other, seemingly unable to give a precise reason.

At this moment, Prince Subridamur stepped forward and spoke.

"Father, no matter what the situation is, we must know that when we sent people to ask for their support, they attacked us!"

"I doubt he's really coming to help us this time!"

"I think their motives are still questionable; they might really be trying to take advantage of the chaos to rob us!"

The other ministers nodded in agreement, as such behavior was indeed quite bizarre.

There are no permanent friends between nations, only permanent interests.

They came together to fight against the Ming Dynasty, but in reality, there were many grudges between them that were not so easily resolved.

Upon hearing this, the Sultan of Delhi looked extremely grim.

This period has been a particularly unlucky time for the Delhi Sultanate.

Originally a top-tier power, it was utterly defeated by the Ming Dynasty's Lan Yu in several consecutive battles.

They even suffered serious damage due to excessive troop deployments.

Not only did they lose a large area of ​​plains and valleys in Northeast China, but they also caused numerous rebellions within their own country.

The surrender of the most capable naval admiral in the Delhi Sultanate further exacerbated the already dire political situation.

Now that things have finally stabilized a bit, who could have imagined this?

The Timurid Empire's army has once again appeared on its borders.

Could it be that Heaven truly intends to destroy the Delhi Sultanate?

At this time, the emperor of the Delhi Sultanate was still somewhat afraid.

As Timur's neighbor, the Delhi Sultanate often experienced friction with him, and in these frictions, the Delhi Sultanate won more often than it lost.

It's not uncommon for groups of people to be chased and attacked with knives.

The Timurid Empire's cavalry was too powerful; they were virtually invincible against them.

At this moment, a minister sighed and said.

"Although we don't know what happened, it's best for us to avoid conflict with the Timurid Empire right now!"

The Timurid Empire has recently conquered the Transoxiana region, expanding its territory by a thousand miles!

"Their strength is formidable, while our Delhi Sultanate has yet to recover from the previous battle, especially suffering severe troop losses. Aside from the troops stationed in various locations, we can muster no more than 100,000 troops!"

"The difference in strength is simply too great. We should avoid confrontation for now, try to resolve this matter first, and then make a decision after my strength has increased!"

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Their current strength is far inferior to that of the Timurid Empire, and they certainly do not have the confidence to confront the Timurid Empire.

Looking at these men, the Emperor of the Delhi Sultanate turned ashen-faced. The previous battles had completely shattered the morale of their army. These men were utterly unwilling to continue fighting; how could they possibly win such a battle?

Now that the Delhi Sultanate has become like this, there is no need to continue fighting. Thinking of this, he sighed and said with a complicated expression.

"In that case, let's do it this way."

"You must immediately take men to the Timurid Empire to sue for peace!"

"We are allies, and I believe they will be wary of us!"

"If they really do something that affects the relationship between us!"

"It's not a good thing for them either!"

"I believe they will make the right decision!"

Upon hearing this, the two of them turned around and left the place in one breath!

Crown Prince Subridadmur frowned, his heart filled with resentment. The Emperor of the Delhi Sultanate had now appointed him as Crown Prince.

It was a foregone conclusion that they would become the next emperor. Who could have imagined that the Iron Mold Empire would betray them? It was truly despicable.

As expected, none of these countries are any good. It's one thing for the Ming Dynasty to bully the Delhi Sultanate.

Unexpectedly, this has led to the same situation with their own allies. If the Delhi Sultanate becomes powerful enough one day, they will definitely seek revenge on these guys.

When Lan Yu, who was stationed near the Delhi Sultanate, learned of this news, he was extremely surprised and said with an incredulous expression.

"Did I hear that right? Isn't it said that the Delhi Sultanate and the Timurid Empire are possible?"

"Why are they amassing troops on their border? Are they going to start a war?"

The deputy general next to him nodded after hearing this.

"There's a very high chance they'll fight!"

"Otherwise, they would never have been able to amass such a large army on the border!"

Lan Yu smiled and said.

"That's not impossible!"

"The Timurid Empire has been incredibly arrogant lately. I've heard they've conquered a lot of territory to the west and absorbed many countries and tribes. Their power is much greater than before!"

The general standing nearby nodded upon hearing this.

"That's true, but our Great Ming hasn't been idle either. During this period, our Great Ming's strength has also increased significantly!"

"The troops in various places have begun to intensify their training, and a new batch of weapons will be transported to the front line. In addition, the road to Yingtianfu has been repaired, and it is estimated that the road will be in good condition for a long time. It will not take long to get here from Yingtianfu!"

Lan Yu looked at the intelligence in his hand and nodded in satisfaction. He had to admit it.

The Ming Dynasty's development speed during this period was indeed very fast, which was somewhat unbelievable to him.

In particular, the roads leading to this place are very frequent, and troops from all over the country can be mobilized at a very fast speed. In addition, the Ming army is very well trained, and many of its weapons are modified from those of the past.

Their strength was far greater than the previous ones. They originally thought these were the pinnacle of weaponry, until Zhu Xiong Ying recounted all the weapons he knew, which terrified Lan Yu and the others. It was simply unbelievable. How could any weapon travel such a long distance, launched from Yingtian Prefecture and able to reach the front lines? It was just too outrageous.

However, the other weapons Zhu Xiong Ying mentioned did have this possibility, and thinking of this place, he was very much looking forward to it.
