Chapter 86: Annihilate the Western Alliance and unify the continent
The day after the war began, Gu Shun received a report from Qiao Hongyu on the front line.
Several of the enemy city-states had been captured by the army of Meta City, and the war was over.
The news quickly spread throughout the city, and many people were still thinking about how to support the war, donating money and materials, and the war ended.
"Why is it over so quickly, I still want to go to the front line and shoot a few shots, and I can't help but fight, it's really not fun."
"Okay, just your old arms and legs, you can't do Wang Cuihua next door."
When two old men playing chess on the street heard the news of the end of the war, they talked stupidly.
However, even if the end of the war was unexpected, whether it was the upper city or the lower city, the people who reacted suddenly fell into a sea of carnival.
And the news soon spread throughout the continent as well, and all the city-states felt a deep palpitation and chill.
Several city-states bullied more and less, besieged one city-state, and even was beaten down by a city-state, saying that the advantage is mine.
In the face of the sudden change in the situation, many city-states even held meetings overnight to discuss countermeasures.
The city-states that declared war on Meta City were not weak, and their weapons and military strength were among the best among the city-states on the mainland, and they were especially good at positional warfare.
However, from the beginning to the end of the war, they did not last a day, and they were quickly defeated, and even the city-state was breached.
All the city-states had to reassess the strength of Meta City and devise a new diplomatic strategy.
When the former Meta City reappeared in everyone's field of vision, all the city-states were horrified to find that the former king of the continent had returned.
The day after the end of the war, many once neutral and hostile city-states sent diplomatic missions to the city of Maita to establish peace relations with Gu Shun.
Some of the city-states that were still not convinced began to join forces, trying to use diplomatic influence to force Gu Shun to return the occupied city-states, and they could not watch Gu Shun's territory grow bigger and bigger.
However, there is no reason for the fat to be loosened in the mouth.
Gu Shun asked Qiao Hongyu to organize a referendum within the city-state, and as a result, most of the people of the city-state wanted to join Meta City and become part of the supreme city-state.
As a result, an alliance of city-states with Meta City as the core was announced, and many small city-states also chose to join the alliance at the first time, seeking better resource tilt and security guarantees.
This alliance stood side by side with the previous spontaneous alliance between the city-states, and the continent entered an era of confrontation between the eastern and western alliances.
However, the era of confrontation between the two alliances did not last long, and an assassination against Gu Shun occurred.
No one had ever seen who assassinated Gu Shun, but according to the information reported by Meta City, the assassin was from the Western Alliance.
The Western Alliance refused to apologize to the Eastern Alliance led by Gu Shun for this, and accused it of being a scam directed and acted by Gu Shun.
Countless angry people gathered in front of the City Lord's Mansion with righteous indignation, hoping that Gu Shun would send troops to crusade against the Western Alliance.
But Gu Shun doesn't have the energy to take care of this matter at present.
Grandma is seriously ill, despite the doctor's full treatment, but because grandma is old, her body is already a shell with oil and lamps at this moment, and her body has reached its limit.
Grandma knew that her time was running out, lying on the sickbed, holding Gu Shun's hand weakly, and said with difficulty:
"Shunshun, being able to meet you is the pride of grandma's life.
I know what you're doing now is big, big, and you don't have to worry about anything, just let it go.
Grandma has no regrets, thank you for accompanying me to the present.
Ruby is a good boy, I hope you will treat her well.
Can I hear you call me grandma again? Grandma said this, squeezing out a smile with all her might.
"Grandma-" As Gu Shun's words dispersed, Grandma's hand hung down weakly.
"Grandma-" Gu Shun had never felt his heart hurt so much.
After more than ten years of getting along day and night, grandma's kind face flashed in Gu Shun's mind one by one like a marquee.
Gu Shun, who is rarely happy, couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed his grandmother's hand and cried loudly.
Gu Shun's subordinates, the children who had lived with their grandmother for the longest time, also cried silently.
Valley basin
Qiao Hongyu covered her mouth, not wanting people to see her embarrassed appearance.
She looked at Gu Shun hugging his grandmother and crying, and at this time, he looked like a child.
A solemn and simple funeral was held in the city of Maita, and the people wore black and white with solemn expressions.
Although Gu Shun asked the funeral to be as simple as possible, Grandma didn't want too many people to be sad because of her.
But the people who heard the news still spontaneously came to mourn.
In Meta City, Bai Ju was snapped up.
Gu Shun sat in front of his grandmother's grave and opened a yellowed bag, which was filled with paper flowers that his grandmother had folded for him.
This was taken off the wall when he took his grandmother back to the old residence, and it has been treasured until now.
Grandma has folded paper flowers for more than ten years, and has never folded them for herself, and the only one she keeps is to fold for herself.
Gu Shun sat quietly in front of the mausoleum, silently keeping vigil for his grandmother.
Bang
The thunder was rolling, and it was raining again in Meta City. The pouring rain extinguished the charcoal basin that burned the paper, and also poured Gu Shun to a soaked body.
A subordinate wanted to make an umbrella for Gu Shun, but he refused.
Gu Shun just sat in the rain, his thoughts seemed to return to the rainy night he was born.
The rain that night was as heavy as today, and maybe the heavens were also saddening the death of my grandmother.
On the side, Xiao Peng and his subordinates looked at the news from the City Lord's Mansion and were furious.
"These damn Western Alliances, taking advantage of the funeral, actually provoked and shouted, slandering our city lord's life experience, I really think we are afraid of them."
"Do you want to tell the city lord the news, the Western Alliance is determined that we don't dare to do anything to them."
"Let's talk about it another day, let the city lord accompany grandma first."
"Tell me, what's going on." Gu Shun's voice came from a distance.
Xiao Peng hurriedly came to Gu Shun and handed over the information from the City Lord's Mansion to Gu Shun.
In the intelligence, the Western Alliance openly slandered Gu Shun as a disaster star outcast, his grandmother was a slut that no one wanted, and he gloated over the funeral of the Eastern Alliance, lest it be chaotic.
Soon this information was wet with rain, Gu Shun did not have a trace of emotion on his face, he was as indifferent as water, and silently threw the information into a charcoal basin full of rain.
"Annihilate the Western Alliance, not a single one will be left." Gu Shun's words without a trace of emotion sounded in the rain.
All his subordinates were stunned and immediately saluted in unison, "Yes!" ”
On the same day, the Eastern Alliance officially declared war on the Western Alliance.
According to the battle plan that had been prepared long ago, the troops were divided into five routes and advanced towards the front of the Western Alliance at the same time.
The Western Alliance was soon suppressed by Gu Shun's powerful firepower and retreated.
Although they deployed a large number of anti-aircraft weapons and tactical missiles to deal with the mechanical samurai and the huge drone swarm, these anti-aircraft weapons were crushed under the impregnable iron hooves of Meta City.
The price of angering Gu Shun was something they couldn't afford.
Seeing that they could not support it, the Western Union hurriedly sent envoys in the hope of negotiating peace.
The only thing that the envoy could bring back was a sentence from Meta City: Annihilate the Western Alliance.
The Western Alliance was in turmoil, they didn't expect Gu Shun to kill them all and conquer them completely. So they mobilized all their forces and tried to put up a stubborn resistance.
However, the soldiers who had temporarily organized had long been frightened by the battle of the Eastern Alliance army, and they were unwilling to work for the Western Alliance anymore, so they surrendered one after another.
They didn't want to be the ghosts of the endless artillery fire of Meta City, and even if God wore a steel helmet to fight, he was not necessarily Gu Shun's opponent.
Soon, the city-states of the Western Alliance were defeated one by one, and the remaining city-states surrendered.
The Western Alliance is completely history, and Meta City dominates the continent.
