I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

King Tasha guessed that King Baifan had been biding his time, secretly training his army and constantly strengthening his military power, and had long wanted to attack the Uloya Empire, but had not found an opportunity.

Since the Uloya Empire offered itself up, they weren't going to be polite.

The Uloia Empire originally only wanted to make an example of them to intimidate the southern countries.

As a result, his country was on the verge of collapse and his family was destroyed.

The Uloa Empire is now defending its capital and is seeking help from its surrounding allies.

The Starfall Kingdom received the request for help because the Eternal Day Empire's army was stationed there.

In just a few days, the Uloya Empire lost a third of its territory, causing many surrounding countries to begin to waver.

Those countries that imported military equipment from the Eternal Day Empire, in particular, felt like they had been ripped off.

But the Eternal Day Empire is a superpower, so even if they were tricked, they could only think about it in their hearts and dared not speak out.

They clearly ate shit, but they still praised how delicious it was.

"Your Majesty, should we still send troops now?" asked the general of the Tasha Kingdom.

"No need. The fact that Baifan Kingdom isn't asking for help means they want to take over Uloya. They've already taken so much, they probably can't digest it all. They can only slowly nibble away at it, which is a war of attrition. There's no need for us to get involved at this point, especially since Tian Ce's army is nearby."

King Tasha felt it was a pity; he should have gone to get assists right at the start of the battle and gotten some points.

Trying to freeload now would be a thankless and futile effort.

If someone doesn't want to share with you, it's a bit much for you to ask for it.

The victory of the Kingdom of Baifan further strengthened King Tasha's resolve to cling tightly to the Tian Ce Dynasty.

However, importing military equipment from Tian Ce is not as simple as just having money; if you are not loyal, you will receive very little military equipment.

After all, with so many countries in the Tian Ce Dynasty camp, who wouldn't want them?
Moreover, with the Baifan Kingdom's resounding victory, many more kings will witness it, and who wouldn't want to take advantage of the Tian Ce Dynasty's army to launch a major campaign?

At that time, the military equipment of the Tian Ce Dynasty will be even more sought after, and it will have even more subordinates.

However, there was one thing the civil officials of Tasha Kingdom didn't understand: the chessboard for this game was very large, so why was the Eternal Day Empire making its allies suffer so much?

King Tasha scoffed and explained, "The core of the Eternal Day Empire is simply making money. They don't care about your concerns. As long as you don't reach their doorstep, they won't really fight. Their envoy even made empty promises to me, saying that if I could hold off the Tian Ce Dynasty's army, they would provide us with free support."

I knew then that his so-called support was definitely the garrison troops of surrounding small countries. They would surely send some commanders to make us fight the Tian Ce Dynasty to the death, wearing them down.”

King Tasha wasn't stupid. After all, he was so close to the Tian Ce Dynasty, and he had been beaten before. He knew how powerful the Tian Ce Dynasty was, so he decisively refused.

Next, the ministers will surely shower King Tasha with praise.

On the other side, the Starfall Empire.

As the saying goes, some people are happy while others are sad.

In the Zhu family's living room, Dai Xiaoyao paced back and forth, waiting for Zhu Yingxiong.

"Your Highness, I know you are anxious, but this matter must wait for my daughter's reply, don't you think?"

Zhu Yingxiong said slowly and deliberately that he had agreed to help Dai Xiaoyao contact the Tian Ce Dynasty, but how could a nobody like him contact the Tian Ce Dynasty so easily?

Despite Zhu Yingxiong's high rank as a general second only to the emperor, he was not qualified to curry favor with Li Chen.

Just as King Tasha said, he was barely qualified to curry favor with Li Chen; others were truly unworthy. Zhu Yingxiong had no say in what Emperor Dai Wuchang did.

To put it bluntly, the Zhu family is a member of the imperial family of the Tian Ce Empire. Even if the Tian Ce Empire sends troops to conquer Xingluo, the Zhu family will remain safe and sound. In fact, their status will rise with the arrival of the Tian Ce Empire's army.

Zhu Yingxiong was truly unperturbed, since his daughter had entered the palace.

At this moment, he was also thinking that it was fortunate his daughter hadn't married that kid Dai Xiaoyao, otherwise she would be like an ant on a hot pan right now.

“Uncle, I did come here today because of what happened last time, but there is something more important.” Dai Xiaoyao took a deep breath, then continued as if afraid of being driven away by Zhu Yingxiong:
"I believe my uncle is already aware of the war between the Baifan Kingdom and the Uloya Empire. In just three days, the Baifan Kingdom, with only tens of thousands of iron cavalry equipped with the standard equipment of the Tian Ce Empire, has conquered the capital of the Uloya Kingdom!"

At the end, Dai Xiaoyao took a deep breath, looked into Zhu Yingxiong's cloudy but still dignified eyes, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Uncle, what do you think of my Xingluo Empire compared to the Wuluoya Empire?"

“Without the Yongzhou Empire’s garrison, it would definitely be far inferior.” Zhu Yingxiong replied casually without even thinking.

The Star Luo Empire is considered quite good among the southern countries in terms of both population and land area, but it is still slightly weaker than the Uloya Empire.

Now, the Baifan Kingdom can easily defeat the Uloya Empire, let alone the Tiance Empire, which they have offended. How can they possibly fight against them? Wouldn't that be suicide?
Dai Xiaoyao had studied in the Tian Ce Dynasty before, so he must know how powerful the Tian Ce Dynasty was.

Seeing Dai Xiaoyao's anxious expression, Zhu Yingxiong casually asked, "Tell me your thoughts?"

"So, Uncle, help me rebel!" Dai Xiaoyao gritted his teeth.

In the past, he would never have wanted to compete with his elder brother Dai Wuchang for the throne.

It wasn't just because of their deep brotherly bond, but also because he had no interest in the throne and only wanted to pursue the immortal path that cultivators yearned for.

But things are different now; the path of cultivation has encountered obstacles.

It wasn't until I went to the Tian Ce Dynasty that I realized my talent wasn't as extraordinary as I had imagined.

Upon returning to the country, he became a prince and began to shoulder some of the responsibilities.

If Dai Wuchang continues to make trouble, even without the Tian Ce Empire's 300,000 iron cavalry, any vassal state of the Tian Ce Empire could easily reduce the Xingluo Empire to nothingness.

Take the Kingdom of Tasha for example. It is said that their king has reorganized the army. Who knows who they are going to attack, but there is a high probability that they will attack themselves.

Most countries are wavering, but Xingluo Kingdom is labeled as a 'rebel,' so those countries that want to be loyal subjects of the Tiance Dynasty will definitely attack them.

By then, do you still expect the garrison of the Eternal Day Empire to help you?

According to rumors, those who serve the Yongzhou Empire's garrison have heard that the garrison has received orders that if the Tian Ce Dynasty really attacks, they will be the first to withdraw.

This is what is meant by a game of strategy: the army of the Tian Ce Dynasty advances only one thousand meters a day, and no one knows what they are going to do.

The Eternal Day Empire has troops stationed in many countries, but they have never taken action. Who knows if they will fight?

"Does Your Highness know what you're saying?" Zhu Yingxiong looked at Dai Xiaoyao with a half-smile.

The older generation of ministers, especially the military generals, actually hoped that Dai Xiaoyao would inherit the throne, but at that time Dai Xiaoyao had no interest in court affairs and only wanted to cultivate.

"Please help me, Uncle!" Dai Xiaoyao's knees buckled, and he knelt down directly in front of Zhu Yingxiong.

This time, Dai Xiaoyao only wants to save his country.
