Chapter 1563: Joint Invitation
The Hidden Yuan Empire is completely finished!
The nine empires, which have existed for billions of years and have always constrained and coexisted with each other, were forced to abandon the empire and flee by an organization that suddenly rose...... If someone had said it before this happened, it would have been taken as a joke, but now it is an indisputable fact.
Technology is amazing.
Ruthless.
Superior in strategy.
Coupled with the ability to recover battle damage in a very short period of time, the 'Shadow' has undoubtedly become the object of jealousy of all countries and forces.
Therefore, when a large number of elites of the Yinyuan Empire quietly left, leaving behind a huge land without a strong force to defend it, and the eight empires were all red-eyed, although the eight empires were all gearing up, no country dared to make substantive actions.
Since the 'Shadow' can force the Hidden Yuan Empire into this situation, who has the confidence to confront the 'Shadow' of the other eight empires that are equal to the strength of the Hidden Yuan Empire?
It's an unbelievably big piece of fat!
A huge super empire, although the resources are gone, the elite troops and warships are taken away, but the territory is directly linked to the resources.
Because of the confrontation between the Hidden Yuan Empire and the 'Shadow', this has led to the cutting off of resources, but if it goes into the hands of other countries, it will bring incredible wealth, and then directly enhance the national strength - the eight empires, without exception, all covet the territory and hundreds of millions of people left by the Hidden Yuan Empire, but no country dares to do it directly, no one wants to touch the brow of the 'Shadow', let alone become the second Hidden Yuan Empire.
"Boss!"
Gnie danced with excitement on his face, pointed to a video on the light screen, and screamed, "That's amazing! The emperors of the eight empires jointly want to make an appointment with you, saying that they want to discuss the territory of the Hidden Yuan Empire - I damn it! They're trying to take advantage of you, are they? ”
His cry attracted the attention of the other companions, and a large group of guys who were drinking, bragging, and playing mahjong all rushed over.
The three that Qin Yan had just touched could only be put down, rolled his eyes and walked over.
He wasn't as excited as Gnie, it all came naturally, it was expected for a long time, what was there to be surprised about?
"The Eight Emperors jointly invited you to meet, this is ...... Most likely, there is a conspiracy. Meteor frowned.
"Shennong, what do you think of yourself?" The giant asked.
"I don't know."
Qin Yan shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "I will only reason logically, but I will not predict the prophet, let alone read the mind in the air-there is a combination of both, maybe they really want to live in peace with me, or they may want to take the opportunity to deal with me...... Who knows? ”
Indeed, both possibilities exist, and there is only one reason - he is too strong.
Because he is too strong, the Hidden Yuan Empire, one of the nine major empires, has been forced into such a situation by him, and other empires dare not provoke him easily, so it is possible that they want to coexist peacefully with each other, not to mention that the 'Shadow' is a hunter organization, and there is no big conflict of interest between it and the country.
In turn, it is precisely because he is too strong, with more sophisticated technology than the nine empires, and can even restore more than half of the damaged combat power in a very short time.
Therefore, Qin Yan couldn't determine the exact purpose of the appointment, but he didn't need to guess at all, someone would come over to tell him.
"Husband."
As soon as Qin Yan's words fell, an anxious voice suddenly came, and then he saw Peony walking in quickly.
"Are they going to live peacefully with me, or are they going to kill me?" Qin Yan asked with a smile.
Since it was a joint invitation from the emperors of the eight countries, in addition to the disbanded Yinyuan Empire, it naturally included the emperors of the Heavenly Power Empire.
It's just that the other seven empires couldn't have imagined that the emperor of the Tianquan Empire was actually the pillow man of the leader of the 'Shadow' organization, and the conspiracy of their eight kingdoms didn't need Qin Yan to guess, Peony would tell him as it was.
"Not necessarily." Peony smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"Wouldn't it? Emperor, you don't know? Isn't it the Eight Empires together? Meteor's face was full of surprise.
"The result of the discussion of the eight empires is to decide according to the actual situation."
Peony pursed her lips and said helplessly: "In the end, their mood is also very hesitant. On the one hand, no one wants to provoke the 'Shadow' organization, and they don't want to become the second Hidden Yuan Empire, but on the other hand, the 'Shadow' is too strong...... You must know that for billions of years, the Nine Empires have been the leaders in the true sense of the word, but the existence of the 'shadow' has made the Nine Empires have to retreat, which is an unacceptable status quo for all countries. ”
Speaking of this, her expression suddenly became a little weird, staring at Qin Yan and muttering, "So many people died, you say...... Is it really worth it? ”
Qin Yan couldn't help but be stunned.
He knew what she meant, but it surprised him—very unexpected!
She is the king of the Heavenly Power Empire, she shoulders the heavy responsibility of a powerful empire, if there is a chance to let the empire dominate the world, as the emperor, she is willing to pay any price, not to mention that it is impossible for no one to die in the war conflict, how can she care about the life and death of others?
Unscrupulous means to achieve the end are the basic norms to abide by as the ruler of a country.
"Isn't that what you want?" Qin Yan was still a little relieved.
"I ......"
Peony pursed her lips, lowered her head and frowned, and muttered, "You know, in fact, at the level of the Nine Great Empires, it is almost impossible for a large-scale war to occur. Although I have experienced many small battles, I have never seen a war of this magnitude for as long as I can remember—tens of billions of deaths, which would be a meaningless number to me if I had only heard others say that, but ......"
Yes!
She actually hasn't experienced a real large-scale war at all, she was a soldier before becoming the emperor, from a low-level soldier all the way to the position of the emperor, she is either in the special army, performing some tasks such as lurking, assassination, and rebellion, even in the axis of the universe, it is only a battle of dozens of people.
Tens of billions of elites.
100 billion warships.
The destruction of the stars and the blood of rivers were like rivers of blood, and she had never experienced this kind of war.
Others didn't feel much when they talked about her, but when her own man did this, when she saw the scene of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood that Qin Yan posted on the Internet-that was done by the people closest to her, she couldn't treat those numbers as dispensable, all of this had a huge impact on her.
Of course, if she had seen this a few years ago, she wouldn't have had much thought, but now the situation is different.
On the one hand, she has gradually lost her ambition to be an emperor, her heart is not focused on any state affairs at all, but is constantly transforming towards a little woman who is immersed in love and family, her emotions are becoming more and more delicate, and her character is becoming more and more gentle.
She became less and less interested in power, as her heart became soft, and she developed compassion for bloodshed and death.
There is another most important reason.
Yesterday.
Today.
Even more years ago, Shadow had killed hundreds of billions of enemies, and a large number of Shadow's men and horses had also been killed: whenever she saw the scenes of bloody stumps and broken arms, she would have a fear in her mind, she was afraid that one day the man she loved would also become one of those corpses.
I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet?
"What do you want?" Qin Yan asked with a wry smile.
"Maybe ......"
Peony thought for a moment, and his tone was a little hesitant: "Anyway, as long as there is a 'shadow', it can ensure that the other countries are safe and secure, and it is not a good result to maintain the containment effect in this way." ”
Gnie and Meteor next to them, when they heard her as an emperor say this, they were all speechless in surprise, just because as an emperor, she shouldn't have said that at all.
But......
Peony is not only an emperor in their eyes, her other identity is Qin Yan's wife, and Qin Yan is their best brother.
Countless side by side battles, life and death again and again, Qin Yan's position in their hearts is extremely transcendent, if he really wants to do what Peony wants, they will not have any objection - in the past, Meteor would question Qin Yan's identity, and today unless Qin Yan directly harms the interests of the empire, he will never go against Qin Yan's words.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Qin Yan asked.
"If you can."
"You've changed."
"yes."
Peony showed a wry smile, shook his head and sighed: "Maybe I am really no longer suitable for the emperor of the heavenly power now." A few years ago, I couldn't have imagined that I would have thought this way - I was just suggesting, and the decision was still yours. ”
Qin Yan smiled, ignoring that someone was beside her, walked over and gently hugged her shoulder, and said softly: "You know, I wasn't interested in these disputes originally, and the reason why I did this was just to fulfill your wish, but...... The trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, do you understand? ”
"What do you mean?" Peony was stunned.
"Your thoughts don't represent everyone's thoughts...... I'll do what you think, but it's certainly not what you think. ”
"This ......"
"For me, it's a game, and if you want it to be like this, it's like that, and if everything is different from what you think, it's a big deal to reinvent it."
"Husband, I'm ...... I love you......"
Peony blushed, and suddenly frowned: "That's right! Then since it has been decided so far, the appointment of the Eight Great Empires, you better not go, right? ”
The emperors of the eight empires met, but did not discuss the final decision, because the countries were very conflicted, so they agreed to wait until they met to see the situation before making a decision, which meant that once they met, they could be safe and sound, and there could be a large-scale conflict.
Obviously, with the current strength of the 'Shadow', if it were to fight head-on, it would not be able to defeat even one Hidden Yuan Empire, let alone the eight empires joining forces.
"I have to go."
Qin Yan tightened the hand that was holding her shoulder, and chuckled: "Since you want to live in peace, I have to go this time - don't worry, they won't do anything with me, because I'm smarter than them, aren't they?" ”
