Shangluocheng and the Imperial Palace.

The atmosphere in the council hall was extremely solemn.

The garrison stationed in Luolang Valley was defeated. Daxia sent out 3,000 soldiers, but no news has been received so far.

The old Emperor Doha paced back and forth on the platform with great anxiety. Crown Prince An'er, however, was full of confidence in Daxia's strength. At this moment, he stood up, stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Father, please be at ease!"

"My Lords, think about this. His Majesty the Great Xia Emperor led 4,000 men to the Tianyao Kingdom. Our spies reported that 3,000 Great Xia troops had occupied Tianyao City. If this news were false, how could the Great Xia Emperor dare to go to the Tianyao Kingdom?"

"The combat effectiveness of Shufeng Kingdom is much weaker than that of Tianyao Kingdom. Since His Majesty the Great Xia Emperor has only sent 3,000 men to Luolang Valley, this shows the Great Xia Emperor's confidence in the Great Xia Army!"

"Father, I believe the latest news from Luolang Valley will arrive soon. The migration to the Alanlo Plains must not be stopped!"

An'er's words rang in the ears of the ministers and also in Doha's ears.

When everyone thought about it carefully, they found that these words made sense, but they really couldn't imagine how the 3,000 Great Xia soldiers defeated the 100,000 Tianyao soldiers and how they occupied the majestic Tianyao City.

"I think...what the Crown Prince says makes sense. The migration to the Alanluo Plain has already begun. Since His Majesty the Emperor of Daxia has spoken, let's proceed!" Imperial Preceptor Bazel stepped forward and agreed with the Crown Prince. He bowed and added, "The officials of Daxia have given us a lot of advice, and I find it extremely valuable."

"Everyone in Shangluo must learn from Daxia, learn their philosophy of governing the country, learn their strategy of developing both commerce and agriculture, and learn their clean and honest way of being an official!"

"Your Majesty, I believe the most important thing right now is to promote the policy of developing both commerce and agriculture throughout the country. Our land is not bad. The Alanluo Plain must be reclaimed and used as a granary for Shangluo. The coastal areas must be vigorously developed, and fisheries are the top priority for the coastal areas!"

"Since Daxia intends to establish a naval base and a military port and dock on the Ebel Coast, the area will surely prosper. This old minister suggests building a new city on the Ebel Coast to serve as a port of entry for trade with Daxia."

"Next, our court officials, as well as officials throughout Shangluo, must earnestly learn Daxia culture and, upon the arrival of Daxia merchants, cooperate with them to establish various workshops."

"Only in this way can Shangluo's commerce develop, its people have enough food and clothing, and Shangluo gradually become stronger!"

The words of the national teacher Basel pointed the way forward for the confused emperor of Shangluo and these ministers. Only then did they realize that a new era seemed to be coming.

At this moment, a eunuch rushed in like crazy, without any regard for etiquette.

He knelt down in front of Doha with a thud, his face filled with excitement: "Your Majesty, great victory!"

He presented the information in his hand to Doha, who took it and looked at it, and was immediately overjoyed:

“We won!”

"The Great Xia Army won!"

"As expected, they rushed into the Luolang Valley with 3,000 men... They slaughtered over 40,000 Shufeng soldiers... They burned all the enemy's bodies on the Alanlo Plain..."

"They're heading towards the Pyria Mountains!"

Even though the ministers had already guessed such an outcome, when the real news came, they couldn't help but be ecstatic!

"My God, the Great Xia Army is so powerful!"

"Great Xia is mighty! With Great Xia as its backing, Shangluo will surely rise on the Lia Continent!"

"Shangluo needs to change! Let's do it according to Daxia's way!"

“…”

…

…

The news of the victory in the battle of Luolang Valley of Shangluo Kingdom spread throughout Shangluo City in an instant, and the people in Shangluo City rushed to tell each other.

The remaining soldiers who fled back to Shangluo City were all dumbfounded.

"Win?"

"How could those 3,000 people defeat the 50,000 people of Shufeng Country? How many of them died?"

"Since they are heading towards the Piriya Mountains, they must be attacking the Shufeng Kingdom. Their combat effectiveness must not have been greatly damaged."

"Oh my god, how could that Silver Armor Army be so powerful?"

Disi, the envoy of Shufeng Kingdom, also got the news. He spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "Shufeng... is dead!" He ran frantically to the palace of Shangluo Kingdom, wanting to beg the emperor of Shangluo Kingdom to ask the emperor of Daxia to withdraw his troops.

Almost at the same time, Emperor Shuli of Shufeng Kingdom also received news of the Battle of Luolang Valley.

He looked at the intelligence in his hand, his pupils shrank, and his body tensed. He jumped up from his chair and roared madly, "Didn't the emperor order Adula to withdraw his troops?"

"What's going on?"

He shook the paper in his hand, looked at the bewildered ministers below, and roared again: "It's over! The Emperor's Second Army was completely slaughtered by the three thousand silver-armored soldiers of Daxia! In Luolang Valley! Didn't the Emperor order Adula to withdraw?!"

All the ministers were suddenly shocked and their faces turned pale. No way, could an army of 50,000 be wiped out by 3,000 people from Daxia?

"Your Majesty... Your order must have been passed on, but I suspect Adula was too eager to make a name for himself, so he left before the Ministry of Revenue could deliver the rations. Therefore, by the time your order reached the Second Army, it was probably too late!"

"So what should we do now? Daxia's three thousand silver-armored soldiers are heading towards the Pilia Mountains. Once they cross the Pilia Mountains, they'll be thousands of miles away from the plains. They can reach Shufeng City within a few days!"

"Shufeng Kingdom will be easily conquered by them just like Tianyao Kingdom. This emperor...this emperor's Shufeng Kingdom will be gone! Is this damned Adula dead? If not, capture him and bring him back to me. I will skin him alive with my own hands!"

At this time, the Imperial Master of Shufeng Kingdom came out and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. What we need to do now is to calm the anger of Daxia."

"I believe that with the example of Tianyao Nation, there is no need for Shufeng Nation to organize an army to fight against the Great Xia Army."

"Daxia supported the Shangluo Kingdom, but Shangluo was weak. King Doha of Shangluo was not capable of ruling the Leah Continent."

"After the Great Xia army occupied Tianyao Kingdom, they did not launch a new war, nor did they massacre Tianyao's royal family and ministers. What does this prove? It proves that Great Xia is not here to invade or occupy the Leah Continent. From what I have been thinking recently, their purpose in coming is probably for gold!"

"We in Shufeng Country also have two gold mines. Although they are far from comparable to the three gold mountains in Tianyao Country, they still contain more gold than the Tianci Mountain in Shangluo Country."

"In that case, why don't we offer those two gold mines and reach a friendly agreement with Daxia? Even becoming a vassal state of Daxia would be acceptable. After all, Daxia is thousands of miles away from here, and they... ultimately cannot come here to govern this place personally."

After the Imperial Master finished speaking, the huge hall fell silent.

Shuli also quickly made a trade-off - rather than losing his country, it would be better to give Daxia gold, silver and treasures.

But if this happens, Shufeng's national strength will inevitably decline.

But Tianyao Kingdom doesn’t even have three gold mountains, so what are my two gold mines?

"What the Imperial Master said makes sense. Pass on this emperor's order. Order all regions not to send troops to stop the Great Xia Army, and even to provide convenience for the Great Xia Army!"

"Report the whereabouts of the Great Xia Army to this Emperor at any time. When the Great Xia Army is about to arrive at Shufeng City... this Emperor will lead all the ministers to greet them ten miles away!"
