Chapter 861 We need to come up with a solution sooner rather than later
“When what we say is absolutely true, the other side is really too terrible, the other side has come with tens of thousands of people, each of them can be more powerful than a million soldiers.”
“We fought several battles with them, but each time we were utterly defeated and forced to flee in disarray. Especially in the recent battle, it seemed that the enemy only sent a few people to conquer our territory. Our king organized most of the people to fight back desperately, but we fought back in vain.”
"The enemy has swept through the enemy lines with overwhelming force. We are no match for them at all. Even if we die, we still can't defeat them."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the court was utterly shocked. They all knew the immense power of the Mauryan Empire, founded by Ashoka. The sheer military might of the Mauryan Empire was enough to make them hesitate to advance, especially his army, which numbered a million, each a valiant and skilled warrior.
The Sea King and King Bahbali had fought against Ashoka, and their fighting power was basically able to suppress and crush King Bahbali.
Moreover, Ashoka had fought against the northern barbarians, who were utterly defeated by him. Ashoka grew increasingly arrogant, believing that no one in the world could rival them and that they could easily defeat all enemies.
The festival king's subordinates were also somewhat afraid of Ashoka. They knew how powerful the Mauryan dynasty Ashoka had established was, and they also knew how formidable Ashoka's million-strong army was.
But they never expected that Ashoka, who commanded a million-strong army, would be captured, caught in a fishing net, and have so many knives cut into his body.
Just hearing that one sentence gave everyone present a headache. For example, they all trembled all over, and they couldn't help but look at the people who had been brought up. None of them wanted to believe that what this person said was true.
Even their King Harsha refused to believe that what this person said was true. In their view, there was almost no one in the world who could rival Ashoka. Even if their King Harsha tried his best, he might not be able to defeat Ashoka.
"You people have come here to invite the Fire Clan, haven't you? Where in the world is there such a powerful army? Where in the world are there such capable fighters? I have never seen such a capable army before."
"You'd better tell me honestly what you've come here for. If you can't tell me, I'll kill you all and show you what we're made of."
These people knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly. They were all emaciated, coughing up blood from their foreheads, and wailing loudly. When King Harsha saw this, he roared in anger.
"Shut up, you bastards! Tell me if what you're saying is true or not. If you dare to utter a single lie, I'll rip your tongues out and cut them off. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded repeatedly. They dared not lie to King Harsha. They now knew that King Harsha could easily kill them. Han Xin's army would never let them go; they had been pursuing them relentlessly, intending to kill them. Now, King Harsha was the one who could protect them.
“Your Majesty, everything we have said is true. If Your Majesty does not believe us, you may execute us now. The reason we came to rescue people is because the enemy is too powerful.”
“These people want to kill us all. They didn’t leave a single survivor. If they had left even a single survivor, we wouldn’t have done this.”
“We have never seen such a powerful army before. Their fighting strength far exceeds our imagination, and their combat capabilities far exceed those of Your Majesty. The reason we came here is to try and survive.”
“These bastards, they just want to wipe us out. Wherever we go, once we see their army, we basically don’t survive. They’ll treat us like monkeys, like rats, and kill us all. We’ve survived until now only because we want to live on the king’s bones. We’ve brought a lot of gold and silver, and we’re willing to offer it all to the king, just asking that the king let us live.”
After they finished speaking, these guys burst into tears again. It was clear that they were very heartbroken. Men don't easily shed tears, unless they are truly heartbroken.
The people in the hall were all stunned. They had never seen such a miserable person before, nor had they ever imagined that someone could be in such a miserable state.
"What do you all think about this? Is there really such a powerful army that could defeat Ashoka of the Mauryan Dynasty so badly? I really didn't expect that Ashoka would be captured."
"Over the years, I have fought against Ashoka once or twice, and I know that with his abilities, it is absolutely impossible for him to be captured so easily. If we can capture Ashoka so easily, it means that his combat power is far beyond our imagination."
"What a terrifying team this is! If they charge in, how are we supposed to stop them? If we can't hold them off, the consequences will be unimaginable. You all need to think of a way to deal with this."
After the festival king finished speaking, he looked carefully at everyone, hoping to get a positive response from them and also hoping that they could give him some feedback.
"Your Majesty, I think we shouldn't trust these people so easily. After all, they are from the Mauryan Dynasty. There's a trick called the self-inflicted injury trick. I really don't know if these people who came here are genuine."
"I think we still need to be on guard against them and see what they are really up to. If what they say is false, then we should kill them all. If what they say is true, then we need to find a way to deal with them as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished. The Mauryan Emperor Ashoka had actually been captured and beaten so badly.
