Chapter 487: Pursuing the Victory

King Cheng was only momentarily upset by the news of failure. He was already somewhat discouraged by the recent series of defeats.

After much difficulty realizing the tactic of burning the enemy's food supplies, in the end, it still failed.

"Why can't they even set a fire?" King Cheng roared angrily.

When King Cheng was most angry, news suddenly came from outside that Jiang Lin had sent a note.

King Cheng was furious, feeling humiliated in person, but...

"Give it to me!" King Cheng said gritting his teeth.

After receiving the note, King Cheng seemed to mistake it for Jiang Lin himself, and opened it rudely as if to vent his anger.

Just a few words made King Cheng throw the note into the fire, his eyes also blazing with fire.

"What did he say?" asked the official cousin.

King Cheng seemed to find it difficult to speak, and his fists were clenched tightly.

The official cousin raised an eyebrow, "But did Jiang Lin provoke you? He's deliberately provoking you. Don't take his words to heart."

"He started the fire!" King Cheng suddenly shouted at his cousin, the official. "He burned our food supplies!"

This was something that the official cousin had not expected, and no wonder King Cheng was so angry.

"As things stand now, should we retreat?" said the official cousin.

King Cheng lowered his eyes and did not reply for a long time. Retreating meant surrendering, so how could King Cheng agree to it?

However, the most terrifying thing for them now is that the soldiers have no food. In this case, how can they talk about fighting?

"You might as well ask your father," suggested the official cousin.

"Look at what my father looks like now. Don't think I don't know who did it!" King Cheng's eyes were filled with murderous intent, but he was able to suppress it.

The official shrugged indifferently. He didn't intend to keep what he had done secret for long. Seeing the King's current attitude, he didn't regard him as the enemy who killed his father.

It seems that King Cheng has made a choice between family and power.

"You have to make a decision quickly. Should you conserve your energy or fight a battle that you know you will lose?" the official cousin urged.

"Let me think about it!" King Cheng said in a cold voice.

"Okay." The official cousin stood up and turned back to him before leaving, "You don't have much time left to think."

"They're retreating!"

After the arsonist was caught, only one day later, the foreign camp retreated five miles. At this time, the person who was gathering information in front came over and reported to Jiang Lin excitedly.

"Very good, let's explore further!"

"yes!"

After the others left, Qin Guang clapped his hands in praise, "It's only been a month, and the enemy has retreated. Although Prince Jiang has little experience, he is very courageous. I can't help myself."

"General Qin, why are you so polite? Without your guidance, I would not be able to do many things." Jiang Lin was really grateful to Qin Guang for his help, which saved him a lot of detours.

"How long are you two going to keep praising each other?"

Before the others could fully appreciate the joy of hearing the other party's retreat, they heard the two people praising each other.

"Haha, enough, enough." Qin Guang smiled and waved his hand, "Let's discuss what we should do next."

Everyone was talking at once, the core message being that the other party was too far away, and if they chased and attacked, it would be a thankless task.

But Jiang Lin still insisted, "I want to continue the pursuit."

"In this case, our chances of winning will be reduced a bit." Qin Guang had some disputes with Jiang Lin when they discussed this earlier, and the two sides could not reach an agreement.

I never thought that it has not been decided yet.

"Why don't we see what everyone thinks?" Qin Guang said.

Jiang Lin shook his head directly. He had just seen the choices made by others. With just one glance, he knew that no one supported him.

However, Jiang Lin really wanted to keep fighting.

"Let me tell you what I think..."

In the end, Jiang Lin gained the recognition of the others through his own efforts.

"Then it's settled. We'll set off tomorrow and try to force the enemy to retreat within ten days." Jiang Lin said finally.

Everyone else had no objections and went back to prepare their own plans. They had to ensure safety during the march and reduce the suffering of the soldiers.

In fact, it wasn’t because Jiang Lin’s reasons for persuasion were so reasonable, it was simply because they finally chose to believe Jiang Lin.

They are willing to accompany Jiang Lin to fight. Whether they win or lose, they are partners fighting side by side.

King Cheng thought he had a good rest after the retreat, but he never expected to hear the news that Jiang Lin was catching up with him.

"That's what happened!" King Cheng was angry.

The official cousin didn't realize that Jiang Lin's posture was to leave the foreign countries powerless to fight back.

"I'll think of a way." The official cousin said to King Cheng.

"They will be here soon, think quickly!" King Cheng said angrily.

They had just settled down and their personnel had not yet been reorganized, but they had to face a battle. The result was predictable, they would definitely lose.

"Jiang Lin is pushing me into a desperate situation!" King Cheng said, "Since he won't let me have an easy time, I'll fight him and see who will win..."

"Calm down!" The official cousin grabbed King Cheng.

Although the official cousin did not care about the survival of the foreign countries at the beginning, now is not the time for the foreign people to perish.

"How can I stay calm? People are coming to my door." King Cheng waved away his official cousin. He disliked him at this moment. If it weren't for his manipulation, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

But in the final analysis, it was he who invited the wolf into the house and brought about such a disaster.

The official's cousin said to King Cheng, "Although Jiang Lin is coming with great force, if you join forces with your eldest brother, Jiang Lin may not be his opponent."

"Me and my elder brother?" King Cheng frowned. "My elder brother wants me dead, so why would he help me?"

King Cheng was somewhat self-aware of this.

"No matter what, Jiang Lin is now your common enemy. If you want to be... "

"Oh my god!" Before the official cousin could finish his words, King Cheng shouted, his voice drowning out his words and interrupting him.

Although King Cheng and his elder brother had many disagreements, they never broke off relations on the surface.

King Cheng retreated this time with the approval of King Li, otherwise he really would not have dared to come to King Li at this time.

"Big brother." King Cheng shouted with his neck stiffened.

King Li turned his head and saw an expression on King Cheng's face that he had never seen before: unwillingness and humiliation.

"What's the matter?" King Li asked knowingly.

"Brother, Jiang Lin has caught up with us. Now only you and I can resist his attack together." King Cheng said straight to the point.

"What benefit can I get?" King Li asked bluntly.

King Cheng had made preparations before he came, "Brother, the foreign lands don't belong to me alone. If I lose this time, you will lose too."
