Pataliputra, the capital of the Maurya Empire.
At this time, Hua City was overcrowded with people inside and outside, and people were in panic.
The defeat of Bushayamitra was like a bolt from the blue to the entire Maurya Empire. Half of the giant elephant army was lost, with 100 million casualties, which became the hammer that shattered the will of the Maurya Empire.
Now the public opinion in the Maurya Empire has collapsed, and there is no thought of resistance. When they see the Daxia army, they either surrender or flee.
Countless refugees from surrounding cities gathered in Hua City, hoping that the Peacock King could resist the Great Xia Army, while the upper class nobles of Hua City left early with their families.
Now the only people left in the city are the royal family who cannot leave, the soldiers leading the troops, the refugees, and a group of players who want to resist Li Jing's army.
Among them, the number of players reached 60 million, far exceeding the population capacity of Fahrenheit City. A passing carriage was piled with people.
Ashoka sat on the palace with a bad look on his face.
Half of the Giant Elephant Legion was lost. This was his trump card, but Li Jing slaughtered them all without a single soldier, making the invincible legion of the Maurya Dynasty a laughing stock.
The most terrifying thing is that the Maurya Empire's will to resist collapsed with the defeat of Takshintar.
The three armies of the Daxia Legion captured eight cities in a row and were rapidly encircling Hua City.
He received news that the Daxia Legion faced almost no resistance along the way. Wherever they passed, except for some resistance from the people, the city lords and nobles all voluntarily opened their cities and surrendered.
Now, more than half of the noble officials who come to the palace are gone.
He knew that those people had already fled Fahrenheit City with their families overnight, but he didn't have the extra time to take care of them.
"What do you think we should do?"
At this time, Ashoka was madly cursing Bhushyamitra's ancestors.
One hundred million soldiers were killed, which led to the current national morale avalanche. I have never seen such a stupid general.
Now the Great Xia Legion is not far from Hua City. Once the Great Xia Legion arrives, he does not think that the current strength can withstand the opponent's powerful offensive.
"King, why don't we submit to Daxia and become a vassal state?" said a noble.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Half a month ago, they might have pointed at this noble and cursed him, but now they couldn't. Becoming a vassal state offered a glimmer of hope, but refusing to submit meant death.
"I cannot surrender."
Jat Tata was the first to speak out against it.
He had already died once outside the city of Tashashiro. The chance of free death in the national war disappeared. With the fall of Huashi City, all the investment of the Tata Guild would be in vain.
"If we don't surrender, we will die," the noble said sternly.
"Even if it means death, we must resist to the end," said Jit Tata sternly. "The Great Xia Emperor is ruthless and will not let the people of the Maurya Empire go."
As a player, Jit Tata knows the psychology of players very well. Once the Maurya Empire surrenders, all players will have no way out.
Lin Han would not allow such a large group of hostile players to grow within the territory of Daxia.
Jit Tata's words were endorsed by the presidents of a number of player guilds.
They are players and have the same interests in the national war. If the Maurya Dynasty is destroyed, all the investment of their guild in "Dynasty" will come to nothing, and they will have to go to the chaotic land to develop again.
"Why don't we cede land and pay compensation to extinguish the anger of the Great Xia Empire and ask them to withdraw their troops." Another white-haired noble stood up and said.
"Cede territory and pay compensation?"
The eyes of many noble officials in the palace lit up and looked at Ashoka.
Ceding territory and paying compensation is indeed better than losing the country, and the rights and interests of their nobles will not be greatly damaged.
Upon hearing about the cession of territory and payment of compensation, the presidents of the other guilds, including Jit Tata, did not respond.
Cede territory and pay compensation is better than losing the country. Some interests will be lost, but the national system will still be there. Maybe in the subsequent versions of "Dynasty", they can take it all back.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
As everyone was discussing countermeasures, the assembly horn resounded throughout Fahrenheit City.
There is an enemy attack.
Before the horn sounded, a spy ran into the hall, panting and looking panicked.
"King, the Daxia Army is already twenty miles away from Huashi City."
As soon as these words fell, the entire court was shaken.
Many noble officials were visibly panicked. They only knew that the Daxia Legion was coming with great momentum, but they did not expect it to arrive so quickly.
"quiet."
Ashoka masked his panic with anger.
"Tata, you will be the messenger and tell the Daxia Legion that we are willing to cede territory and pay compensation, and order them to withdraw."
"Well?"
Jit Tata was stunned and his scalp tingled.
He was a little unsure about being an envoy.
Entering the enemy's camp, it would be easy for them to kill him. He no longer had any chance of avoiding death penalty. If he died again, he would be sent to the land of chaos.
"Is there a problem?" Ashoka said coldly.
"No problem." Jit Tata said hurriedly.
Now he has to go whether he wants to or not.
If they don't go, the Daxia Legion will attack the city and they will not be able to escape. If they go, they still have a chance.
…
In front of the Bactria Legion camp, Jit Tata and his entourage were particularly conspicuous in their official uniforms of the Maurya Dynasty.
He looked very unhappy. He found that the players along the way looked at him as if they were looking at monkeys in the zoo, but he didn't dare to get angry and could only endure it.
After seeing the soldiers of the Daxia military camp, Jit Tata calmed down and resumed his superior attitude.
"I am an envoy from the Maurya Empire. I wish to see your commander to discuss important matters."
"event?"
The soldier guarding the gate saw Jit Tata and after a slight hesitation, he asked his companion to go in and report.
