"Hmph!" Suddenly, the terrifying aura emanating from Wang Han vanished without a trace. As if he had seen through the Western Xia emperor's plan, he said, "You want to provoke me, to make me break the agreement and attack first, to make me a person who breaks promises? You won't get your way. I will wait for the Song army to arrive; they will arrive in half a day at most. However, you have indeed provoked me. Once the Song army arrives, I will personally take action and kill everyone in Western Xia, since you provoked me first."
Wang Han's words were once again clearly transmitted to everyone's ears, filled with terrifying killing intent.
As Wang Han spoke, and having witnessed his terror firsthand, panic rapidly spread in everyone's hearts. Everyone turned their angry gazes toward the Western Xia emperor and his army on the city wall, for because of them, everyone was going to die. Not only were they going to die, but the entire Western Xia population was going to die, including their relatives, children, and parents.
Unfortunately, they knew too little about magic, and no one could tell that this was a play directed and acted by Wang Han himself.
"Clang..." The sound of a sword being drawn suddenly rang out, accompanied by a head rolling off. The head of the Western Xia emperor had been personally severed by his most trusted guard.
"Great General of the Great Song Dynasty, please calm your anger!" After beheading the Western Xia emperor, the guard immediately picked up the head, knelt on the ground, held the head high with both hands, and shouted, "It was not our intention to shoot arrows at you, Great General. All the blame lies with him. We were completely unaware of the situation. We beg the Great General to investigate and show mercy to forgive us and Western Xia. We are willing to offer the heads of the Western Xia emperor and all the criminals, and we are willing to annex all of Western Xia to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty."
Following the guard's words, many Western Xia soldiers realized what was happening. Only in this way could they most likely persuade the Great General of the Song Dynasty to spare the entire Western Xia population.
"Clang clang clang..."
"Puff puff puff..."
At the guard's words, the sound of swords being drawn erupted from the city wall, followed by the clatter of blades piercing flesh. The entire Western Xia kingdom was wiped out; only a few blindly loyal individuals would choose to live on with their families. Those who shot arrows, even the officials and generals on the wall, were instantly hacked to death by their own soldiers. Fighting for their lives and loved ones, these soldiers fought desperately. Within ten breaths, the carnage on the wall ceased. All the officials, generals, and members of the royal family on the wall had been slaughtered by the mutinous soldiers, their heads piled together, kneeling and begging for Wang Han's forgiveness.
"I am not one to be unable to distinguish right from wrong. Since you were completely unaware of the situation, have already offered up the heads of all the criminals, and are willing to submit to the Song Dynasty, you will naturally become subjects of the Song Dynasty from now on. I will not pursue this matter further. However, if you dare to change your minds, I will not show any mercy," Wang Han said, his voice clearly reaching everyone's ears once again. He not only achieved his goal of annexing Western Xia but also gained a good reputation.
"Thank you, General Shenwei, for your mercy. We are willing to swear that once we are subjects of the Great Song Dynasty, we will be subjects of the Great Song Dynasty for all eternity. If we break this oath, may Heaven and Earth punish us." Upon hearing this, led by the guards, the soldiers on the city wall and the people in the city knelt down and swore an oath.
Looking at these people who swore they had survived a disaster, Wang Han smiled. It hadn't been in vain that he had orchestrated this whole thing; even the guard who led the scene was being manipulated by Wang Han.
