"We've invested so much money, material resources, and manpower in training them… and yet they've barely made a dent, yet they've fallen en masse to the Dragon and Phoenix Clan's purple crystal artillery fire? How innocent! Your Majesty, I speak up for them!"
As he said that, Patriarch Yan knelt down vigorously!
Emperor Ling clenched his fists tightly!
Complaining? So what?
Whenever he thought of the bloody scene of the three hundred purple crystal artillery shells, the Emperor's blood boiled with anger, but what could he do? There was nothing he could do!
They were the ones who took the initiative to invade the Dragon and Phoenix Clan. In other words, they were the ones who took the initiative to go to the Dragon and Phoenix Clan to die. Who can be blamed for this? Is it because the Dragon and Phoenix Clan is too powerful, or is it because they are too cunning?
“Cough cough… cough cough cough… puff!”
Emperor Lingdi tried his best to hold back, but he couldn't in the end. A mouthful of blood spurted out from his throat like a rain of arrows!
"His Majesty!"
Upon seeing this, Chief Leng hurried over to pat Emperor Ling on the back!
He felt a little irritated, but more worried. Emperor Ling was their backbone. If even Emperor Ling was in trouble, there would be nothing they could do.
"Cough cough cough—" The Dragon Emperor wiped the bright red blood from the corner of his mouth, a gray look appeared in his eyes, and he waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
The other clan leaders surrounded him, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.
They naturally wanted Emperor Ling to save those secret guards, but seeing Emperor Ling like this, they didn't know how to say it out loud.
Emperor Ling sighed deeply, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces one by one, each expression frozen for a second.
Finally, he looked at Leng Hanqiu and said helplessly, "Don't I want to rescue them? But the Dragon and Phoenix Clan's protective formation is activated. Do you think I can shut it down?"
Everyone was silent: "..."
"Do you think that if I issue an imperial decree, I can really stop this massacre? Do you think the Dragon and Phoenix tribe will obey my decree?!"
Everyone was silent: "..." The Dragon and Phoenix Clan was extremely bold and would act recklessly. They would definitely slaughter them all before slowly letting the eunuch who read the imperial edict in.
"Do you think my personal presence can truly stop this massacre? Can I rescue those secret guards? And won't the Dragon and Phoenix Clan seize the opportunity to expose our presence and publicly announce our presence to the world?!"
Everyone was silent: "..." The Dragon and Phoenix Clan is not an upright family. They love to commit conspiracies and tricks, and they will definitely continue to set traps.
Did they abandon so many secret guards to avoid suspicion? Everyone felt a chill in their hearts and a chill down their spines...
His Majesty's clear and logical analysis of the pros and cons made them feel frightened.
"So... is there really no way we can save them?" Patriarch Yan said with a mournful look on his face, looking completely devastated. "So many secret guards... I sent out half, no, actually two-thirds of them! Oh my God!"
In order to grab more property from the Dragon and Phoenix Clan, Clan Leader Yan secretly added some people... He thought he would win for sure, but in the end, who knew he would be counterattacked!
The other clan leaders looked at Clan Leader Yan with a little sympathy. With Clan Leader Yan at the bottom, they suddenly felt that things were not so bad.
"Then what should we do?" Patriarch Leng stared at Emperor Ling!
Chief Leng knew that he was largely responsible for this defeat and he felt guilty, but the most important thing now was to make up for the losses.
Emperor Ling sighed deeply. "There's no hope for those secret guards from the Dragon and Phoenix Clan. Since there's no hope, we should cut our losses and give up on the rescue. Tomorrow morning, a very difficult task awaits us. Everyone should go back and think carefully about how to deal with it tomorrow morning."
