Seeing Wang Qishan's loneliness, Haoxuan patted him on the shoulder and said: "Qishan, you don't need to be like this, at the beginning, the evil king planned to take his men to dominate the whole world, his strength is strong, that is conceivable, so, if you want to rely on the strength of Haoxuan Continent, it is impossible to compete with the evil king realm, now what we have to do is to delay time as much as possible, so that Yifei and they have enough time to organize their strength to resist the invasion of the evil king realm." ”

Wang Qishan nodded and said, "Senior Haoxuan, I understand, but what I'm worried about is that we don't have any way to compete with the Evil King Realm now, if we continue like this, can we really support Yifei and them to rush back?"

Wang Qishan's words made Hao Xuan frown, and finally, he let out a long sigh and said, "Alas, now, we can only do our best to obey the destiny of heaven!"

Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven! What a helpless sentence, but this completely reflects the situation faced by the Haoxuan Continent.

In the following days, the number of the army of the Evil King Realm continued to increase, and began to launch a frantic assault on the towns where the coalition forces were stationed, and in order to preserve their strength, the coalition forces led by Wang Qishan had to keep retreating, abandoning one city after another.

Due to the advance preparations, although the coalition forces were defeated one after another, they did not suffer much losses.

There is no loss, in the eyes of the high-level of the major forces in the Haoxuan Continent, it is indeed a good thing, after all, they have preserved their strength, but all this, in the eyes of those ordinary people, is different, because the coalition army arranged the evacuation of the people of those cities that are about to lose before retreating, the news that the coalition army retreated without a fight naturally spread throughout the continent from the mouths of those ignorant people.

As soon as the news of the coalition forces retreating without a fight broke, the people were furious. Thinking about it, the coalition army is composed of the vast majority of the soldiers of the Shanyue Empire, what is the duty of the soldiers? What is the duty of the army? It must be to maintain the stability of the country and defend against the invasion of foreign enemies. However, now the coalition forces are in front of the enemy. Before the battle, they began to retreat one after another, how could this convince those people? Therefore, countless people began to spontaneously assemble and rushed to the imperial city of the Shanyue Empire, demanding that they meet the king Ahsan, and ask him to severely punish the poor command and battle, resulting in the defeat of the army, so that the commander-in-chief Wang Qishan and other generals lost their territory and land.

Facing the pressure of those people. Ah Shan had a headache, as an emperor born as a cultivator, he had experienced a hundred battles when he received the battle report from Wang Qishan, he understood the strength of the enemy, Wang Qishan and they were able to retreat, it was already not easy, but as a monarch of the empire. However, he could not help but take into account the feelings of the people, and the country was people-oriented. If the people lose faith in the Empire, then the Empire is really not far from extinction.

"What do you think, let's talk about it!" In the palace of the Mountain and Moon King, Ah Shan sat on the top of the hall and looked around at the ministers with their heads bowed.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that everyone did not speak, the Minister of War just swept his gaze to himself, so he had to bite the bullet and speak. "The minister believes that the current discontent of the people is very detrimental to the stability of the empire, and if we want to silence the mouths of those people, we must tell the truth about the strength of the enemy. Presumably, then those people will no longer blame General Wang for his poor command. ”

"Your Majesty, no!" As soon as the Minister of War finished speaking, the Minister of Rites next to him spoke, "The society is stable, the people's will is the most important, if the enemy is said to be too strong, it is likely to make the people uneasy, then if there is any more chaos, it will be troublesome!"

"Then what do you say?" Ahsan looked at the Minister of Rites.

"This ......," the Minister of Rites was dumb for a moment.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the minister, for the sake of today, there is only one way to wronged General Wang!" the minister of the Ministry of Rites opened his mouth to resolve the embarrassment of the Minister of Rites.

"You mean?" Ahsan looked at the minister.

"Nowadays, the people think that General Wang's command is not effective, and if General Wang's crime is not punished, I am afraid it will be difficult for the people to be angry, so the minister believes that now His Majesty should temporarily punish General Wang and other cadres to make the people angry. The minister said.

"Hahaha!" Ahsan rose from his throne and let out a burst of laughter.

Listening to Ah Shan's inexplicable laughter, the ministers looked at each other, to be honest, although the minister's approach can calm the people's anger, but this is extremely unfair to Wang Qishan and their generals who are fighting to the death with the enemy outside, at this moment, everyone knows that Ah Shan is extremely angry, as for the reason for the anger, they are also clear, but none of them know what way to resolve the embarrassing situation faced by the empire at this time.

"Report! Ling Xingyue, the leader of the Moon Mercenary Regiment, has arrived!"

The shouting of the palace guards broke the dullness of the palace hall, and everyone's eyes looked out of the main hall.

Ling Xingyue walked into the main hall under the gaze of the ministers.

"Ling Xingyue sees Your Majesty!" Ling Xingyue came to Ah Shan and bowed to Ah Shan.

"Xingyue, why are you here?" There was a hint of surprise in Ah Shan's eyes, since the establishment of the Shanyue Empire, the Moon Mercenary Group has had supreme glory in the Mountain and Moon Empire, but Ling Xingyue, as the head of the Moon Mercenary Group, has never been to the Royal City of the Mountain Moon Empire, and now, Ling Xingyue's arrival naturally surprised Ah Shan.

Ling Xingyue's gaze swept over the ministers with distressed faces, and said with a smile, "Is Your Majesty worried about the dissent of those people at this time?"

Ling Xingyue's words, in a word, a trace of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes, for this legendary woman, the ministers of the Shanyue Empire had already heard of it, but they couldn't see it, and now her arrival gave them a glimmer of hope, a hope that would get them out of their current predicament.

Hearing Ling Xingyue's words, Ah Shan nodded and said, "That's right, we are struggling with how to calm the anger of this people, Xingyue, do you have any good solutions?"

"Actually, the reason why these people have such a reaction is just because the defeat of the coalition forces makes them uneasy, you know, these people have been through wars, they don't want war, what they hope for is that there is a powerful empire that can remember them, if Your Majesty really decides to deal with the generals on the front line to calm down the people's grievances, I am afraid that not only will not be able to calm the people's grievances, but will cause greater turmoil because of the problems on the front line. Ling Xingyue glanced at the ministers who were looking at her and talked eloquently. (To be continued......)
