This day.
The royal families of the eastern regions were wiped out, and the Nanyue Academy was removed from the Central Plains.
The three groups from the Central Plains, who were staying in the ancient city, had just discussed how many troops and supplies each group would send, and how to attack the Zhou family. Before they could even take any action, they were stunned by what they saw before them.
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
"Boom boom boom—"
One after another, fighter jets flew overhead, heading towards the Nanyue Academy.
The royal families of the south stared in shock at the strange creature that resembled a giant eagle. Looking towards the direction of the island, they could not hear the explosion because it was too far away; they could only see thick gray smoke rising from there.
A huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
Before he could even ask, in a daze, what had happened!
Explosions resounded throughout the eastern region.
Immediately afterwards!
"Report!"
"Report!"
"Report!"
A series of anxious and fearful reports rang out, and secret letters from various ministries and countries arrived.
When they opened the letter, their faces turned deathly pale, and their hands trembled uncontrollably: "How...how could this be...Oh God! How could this happen!!"
"A flying artifact that can soar through the clouds?"
"What kind of unstoppable Tank? Even an impregnable fortress can't stop its advance?"
"A bomb that can be located dozens of miles away? A bomb with an blast radius large enough to flatten a village? Is this, is this news true? Is this something that could possibly exist in this world?"
"Where did Zhou Cheng get this from?!"
"How can we fight like this?! How are we supposed to fight?!"
All three members of the group broke down.
They were the emperors who stood at the highest position in the Central Plains. They had just decided on their strategy and discussed sending troops, and they were confident that with the strength of their troops, they could definitely fight against the Zhou family.
And now?
A sense of despair welled up in everyone's eyes.
They rushed into the street and looked in all directions. They saw thick smoke rising in all directions to the east. Those closer could hear the deafening explosions, while those farther away could only see fireworks.
It’s over!
It's all over!
Why fight for this?
What's the point of resisting?
The hilltop ten miles away was flattened by a single artillery shell! They witnessed it with their own eyes just a second ago!
The buzzing aircraft flew over their minds, and just standing below it, they felt a terrifying sense of oppression—the fear of facing death.
Even if the entire Central Plains were united, they wouldn't be enough to defeat the Zhou family!
"What are we going to do now? The Zhou family... The Zhou family not only possesses weapons like hand grenades, but look at them all, the Nanyue Academy in the sea has definitely been wiped out!"
"Those people in the east are probably already dead."
"All the forces and royal families that targeted the Zhou family and tried to seize the killing weapons from them have already suffered retribution. We simply can't compete with them. Are we just waiting to die?"
"I conquered Gaoguo with my own hands, and I'm not willing to just hand it over like this!"
"Who would be willing to accept this? But can we hold on to it just by being unwilling? Look at those mountains in the distance. They're Yan Kingdom's territory. A few weapons were dropped and they were all wiped out. Do we have any other choice?"
yes.
There was no other choice.
If they surrender, they might be able to save their lives.
If they resist, their entire family will be wiped out.
The three members exchanged glances, each seeing the same emotion in the other's eyes: the ambition and greed of a quarter of an hour ago had been completely extinguished, replaced by resignation, fear, and sighs.
"Enough, enough." The Southern royal family closed their eyes sadly and ordered the attendants around them, "Prepare pen and ink. I want to write a letter of surrender to Young Master Zhou. I am no match for him after all."
"Rather than letting the Zhou family's army besiege the city, it's better to relinquish this power; perhaps we can still hope to escape unscathed."
The people from the north and west collapsed to the ground in grief and sorrow.
After a while, he calmed down.
Only then did he manage a bitter smile and say, "You've all surrendered, what's the point of us continuing to hold on? The Zhou family wields a divine weapon and has even destroyed the Nanyue Academy, what ability do we have to resist?"
"Surrender, all of you, I've heard that the Zhou family treats the common people well, and their soldiers like brothers."
"After being scattered throughout the Central Plains for so many years, I never imagined that it would ultimately fall into the hands of a mere Zhou family youth..."
Faced with overwhelming power, all three members bowed their heads and dared not harbor any more thoughts of resistance.
After all, if you know the outcome will be a loss, why take the gamble?
Do you want to lose your entire family?
That's it!
The rulers of various tribes in the Central Plains all wrote letters of surrender and handed them to the Zhou family.
Everyone spoke sincerely, their emotions running high, vying to hand over their power as quickly as possible, fearing that delaying even a day would incur the displeasure of the Zhou family.
It was placed a few months ago.
