The ministers were completely taken aback by the Empress's words, "Listen to Chen Chu!"
They stared at Chen Chu's thin back, all wondering what kind of bewitching potion this kid had given the Empress!
A halo of light appeared beneath everyone's feet, and then they all returned to the main hall.
Han Kai was a little confused, and suddenly looked at Liu'er beside him and asked.
"Liu'er, why does His Majesty trust this boy so much? Could it be that His Majesty is really interested in him?"
Liu'er rolled her eyes and then said with a grin, "What do you think? If Sister Boya hadn't fallen for Chen Chu, how could she be so obedient to him? Maybe next year, Sister Boya will even give you a future crown prince!"
Liu'er's words left everyone speechless!
Is His Majesty going to have a child with Chen Chu?
this……
The hearts of all the military generals were broken!
However, the goddess Qingxuan laughed and said, "Don't listen to Liu'er's nonsense. There's a reason why Chen Chu was able to gain His Majesty's favor."
"If you roughnecks were to face this crisis in the Soul Sea Kingdom, what could you do besides fight? Isn't this situation of shifting the blame eastward the result of Chen Chu's actions?"
After thinking about it, everyone felt better.
They just never took Chen Chu seriously.
Actually, it's quite normal if you look at it from a different perspective.
If a player who has just entered the beginner level were to give Chen Chu pointers, Chen Chu would most likely ignore him.
Moreover, the only reason they felt aversion towards Chen Chu was because of his strength!
Those were the Soul Flowers they had accumulated, and they were even thinking of cultivating their own confidants, but the Empress took them and gave them all to Chen Chu.
In just a few days, he jumped from the intermediate level to the peak of the advanced level!
There is really no other explanation besides exhausting all of their soul flowers.
"Chen Chu, what do you think we should do next?"
At that moment, the Empress's cold voice rang out in the hall, and everyone subconsciously remained silent.
Chen Chu stood beside the Empress, his hands behind his back, looking somewhat like a cunning strategist.
"Let the people from the Soul Sea Kingdom fight first. We'll lend a hand when the people from the Soul Hook Kingdom ask us for help or raise questions."
"Of course, if they really question us, we must also tell them our grievances to the people of the Land of Life and Death and the Land of Helplessness, so that they know we had no choice!"
Chen Chu smiled and said, "It's only when others ask us for help that we can truly call it helping!"
Upon hearing this, the ministers exclaimed in disbelief, "This is too ruthless!"
The Empress smiled and said, "Alright, let's do it that way!"
However, at this moment, an elderly minister asked, "If the Soul Sea Kingdom also questions us, what if we help the Soul-Hooking Kingdom?"
Chen Chu said matter-of-factly, "Who's helping the Soul-Hooking Kingdom? It's clearly those three kingdoms who are holding a knife to our throats, forcing us to become cannon fodder!"
"We even need to ask the Soul Sea Kingdom for help, to have them assist us in attacking the other three kingdoms!"
hiss!
What a dirty tactic!
The experts at the peak of the Saint realm, including Han Kai, Wu Shang, and Qing Xuan, looked at Chen Chu as if he were a monster.
Qingxuan murmured, "No wonder His Majesty appreciates him so much, he's got brains!"
"What are you saying? Don't we have brains? We just didn't think of that!" Han Kai said angrily from the side.
He still couldn't get rid of his resentment towards Chen Chu.
The more outstanding Chen Chu's performance, the more jealous he became!
"Brother Han Kai, when we go to the battlefield to fight the enemy later, you have to be brave and fierce, so that we can gain Sister Bo Ya's appreciation!"
Liu'er chimed in from the side, "Why don't we let that hothead Chen Chu perform all by himself?"
"I can't stand it anymore!"
Han Kai patted his heavy armor, "Don't worry, Liu'er, just wait and see how I rout those Soul Sea Kingdom's Soul Soldiers!"
"Brother Han Kai, I believe you!"
Liu'er laughed mischievously, as if she wanted to stir up trouble.
Not long after, just as Chen Chu had predicted, the Soul-Hooking Kingdom immediately sent people over.
Moreover, it wasn't just the Soul-Hooking Kingdom; the Naihe Kingdom and the Life-and-Death Kingdom also received the news from the Soul-Hooking Kingdom, and both countries simultaneously dispatched troops to provide rapid reinforcements.
They are not fools.
After Han Kai and his group spread their fear-mongering rhetoric about the fate of the nation, they also realized that if any of the four kingdoms were to fall, the balance of power among the five kingdoms would be broken.
They will all eventually be devoured one by one by the most powerful Soul Sea Kingdom!
The envoys from the three kingdoms arrived in a menacing manner, questioning Empress Boya about why she allowed the Soul Sea Kingdom's army to pass through the Soul Serpent Kingdom to attack the Soul Hook Kingdom.
Empress Boa immediately expressed her helplessness, stating that under pressure from the Soul Sea Kingdom, their Soul Serpent Kingdom alone was simply no match for the Soul Sea Kingdom.
It also expressed the desire for a four-nation alliance.
Furthermore, the army of the Soul Serpent Kingdom has now assembled and is ready to send troops to aid the Soul Hook Kingdom at any time.
Upon hearing this, the envoys all wore satisfied smiles.
"Your Majesty, I implore you to dispatch a large army immediately so that we may rush to the aid of the Soul-Hooking Kingdom!"
Empress Boa nodded slightly, "Alright!"
Immediately, the allied forces of the three kingdoms, totaling 300,000 men and led by several peak saints, rushed to the aid of the Soul-Hooking Kingdom.
A major war was simply unavoidable.
Chen Chu did not participate in this battle.
Because he has more important things to do.
Chen Chu did want to participate in the war, since he urgently needed to gain experience by fighting monsters.
But Empress Boa ordered him to continue cultivating the Soul Flower.
"Your Majesty, if I could personally go to the battlefield and walk on the edge of life and death, I might be able to break through in the battle!"
Empress Boya smiled slightly, "I need you to provide a large number of high-grade soul flowers. Didn't you tell me that our next plan is to annex the Soul-Hooking Kingdom?"
"After annexing the Soul-Hooking Kingdom, without your Soul Flower, how can I reward my soldiers so that they can lead the power of the Soul-Hooking Kingdom after improving their strength!"
The Empress walked up to Chen Chu, looked at him with a hint of tenderness in her eyes, and said, "Please help me out. The Soul Sea Kingdom is still the biggest threat. We need to become stronger quickly!"
Chen Chu was not affected by the Empress's charm skill, as if he felt nothing at all.
"Alright, but if there are prisoners of war, I need to deal with them myself!"
The Empress was somewhat surprised by Chen Chu's calmness. At first, Chen Chu was still affected by her, but as they spent more time together, Chen Chu's immunity to her actually began to grow stronger.
Seeing the Empress's surprise, Chen Chu smiled slightly, "Of course, all of this is for you. It has nothing to do with any personal gain. It's just because I really want to help Sister Boya better!"
