Chapter 2661 A Big Argument
Chapter 2661 A Chaotic Mess
As for killing the king of Bolang, that was a remarkable achievement for Wusong Kingdom itself. After all, the battlefield is ruthless, and weapons have no eyes; what kind of accident is impossible?
Since the King of Bolang is personally leading the expedition, he should be prepared for any unforeseen events, especially since the battlefield is thousands of miles away from Bega's homeland.
Unfortunately, he didn't.
Does he think he's the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds, capable of traveling thousands of miles and escaping unscathed?
Everyone wants to emulate the Nine Nether Emperor, but there has only ever been one Nine Nether Emperor.
At this time, the remnants of the Bolang army that had been on a campaign against Wusong had not yet returned home, but a complete account of the Battle of Huixuanbao had already been sent back. After reading it one after another, many of Bega's generals were almost certain that the army that had severely damaged the Bolang army that night was almost certainly Cang Yan's!
The Bolang Army is not known for its land warfare, but it is still a Bega army, and its combat capabilities far surpass those of the Wusong Army. Even though Cangyan, as the suzerain state, allocated some Yuan energy to Wusong to fight, the huge gap in combat strength could not be bridged by the addition of Yuan energy.
Therefore, regardless of the reason or the circumstances, it was impossible for Wusong Army alone to have routed Bolang Army and chased them all the way to Wusong Port.
Furthermore, the eyewitness accounts clearly state that the enemy forces that launched the attack on that rainy night were not only individually powerful and well-equipped, but also had excellent teamwork and possessed dark red elemental energy!
The matter of Yuan Power cannot be faked. Although the Bolang army is also fighting far from home and its Yuan Power is not as strong as that of the domestic army, even so, how many countries in the world have a deeper Yuan Power than it?
It is definitely not Wusong Kingdom.
Not to mention that after the Bolang army was defeated and fled back to Huixuanbao, the generals tried several times to reorganize the army, but each time they were scattered. This shows that the enemy generals had a wealth of experience in assessing the enemy and pursuing them, and commanded their troops with ease.
Furthermore, the main camp of the Bolang army also activated a solidification barrier. The generals accompanying King Bolang on his expedition were all very experienced, preventing the enemy from using their supernatural abilities or manipulating the terrain to destroy their own camp.
Therefore, the earthquake that night was most likely not caused by supernatural forces. The probability of an earthquake occurring naturally is extremely small; the most likely cause is that something forcibly broke through the ground from below, leading to the earthquake and ground fissures.
Pure physical output—such power is astonishing, and it's not something Wusongguo could possess; otherwise, it would have been put to good use long ago.
Elite troops and powerful forces, with abundant Yuan energy, capable of causing earthquakes without relying on supernatural powers... Apart from Cang Yan and Mu Guo, none of the Bega generals could imagine a third country that could gather all of the above elements, but it was clearly not Mu Guo who did this.
Therefore, the murderer of King Bolang must be the Cangyan army!
Since the founding of Bega, no demon king has ever been killed thousands of miles away from the country. This is a great disgrace!
However, the generals couldn't understand why Cang Yan would deny such a glorious record, which other countries could boast about for a lifetime.
You might say it lacks courage, but it actually traveled thousands of miles to assassinate King Bolang. And Bega isn't stupid; it must know it's the mastermind behind it all, instantly creating a huge grudge.
You might say it's bold, but it dares to do it but doesn't dare to admit it; it just won't admit it no matter what.
What exactly is the Nine Nether Emperor plotting?
Anyway, the two countries of Bega and Cangyan then entered a phase of mutual questioning, accusations, and verbal sparring. However, Lingxu City did not make any rash moves, but instead achieved two great victories on the battlefield of Mu Kingdom to demonstrate its formidable strength.
However, the death of King Bolang was an unprecedented heinous event in Bega for over a hundred years, and it certainly couldn't be left unpunished; the murderer must be severely punished. Since Cang Yan mentioned in his public statement that the Battle of Huixuan Fortress was a remarkable achievement of the Wusong Kingdom itself, it means that King Bolang was killed by the people of Wusong.
Very well, then don't blame Bega for pointing the finger of blame at Wusong Kingdom.
However, Bega's navy is mainly concentrated in Bolang Kingdom. Although Lingxu City and other vassal demon kingdoms also have aquatic creatures, they are not organized into separate armies.
Moreover, the Kingdom of Wusong is quite far from Beka.
If Bega were to send a fleet there, the sea voyage would take at least a month and a half, even with favorable winds and currents.
It's winter now, and there are strong winds at sea, especially from the northeast. Yet the fleet is heading southwest against the winds...
In conclusion, the advantage that Bolang Kingdom had in attacking Wusong has now turned into a disadvantage for Bega in his quest for revenge.
Everyone who mentions this campaign wants to cover their heads and curse King Bolang. Why did you have to target Wusong, thousands of miles away, of all those small neighboring countries? Now, even those who want to avenge you find themselves too far away to do so.
Moreover, the situation within Bega Kingdom is exceptionally delicate. The throne of the Demon King of Bolang Kingdom has suddenly become vacant, and both Lingxu City and the Heavenly Palace naturally have their own thoughts. King Bolang was originally a staunch supporter of the Heavenly Palace, and if the new ruler were to switch his support to Lingxu City, then the Demon Emperor's power would be further strengthened.
This might be the opportunity the Demon Emperor is seeking.
This is perhaps something the Heavenly Palace doesn't want to see, since they've already determined that the Demon Emperor possesses the antidote to the "Heartbreak" formula. Shouldn't this medicine be used during the transition of the throne?
Therefore, the struggle for the throne of Bolang began almost as soon as news of his death reached the country. Behind each of the princes most likely to ascend the throne stood different factions vying for power.
The struggle intensified, and with the Bolang army lacking a supreme commander and unsure of whose orders to follow, they temporarily refrained from deploying troops.
Meanwhile, the vassal demon kingdoms of E'ling, Bolang, and Yegan, under the guidance of the Heavenly Palace, united to appeal to the Bega royal court. Their demands were twofold: first, that Bega punish Cang Yan; and second, that Lingxu City send troops to Wusong Kingdom to rescue the prisoners who had been captured by the enemy.
The Prince of Aoling immediately retorted without any politeness: "King Bolang was assassinated, and the Bega people suffered injustice. Some vassal demon kingdoms, instead of showing solidarity against the common enemy, brazenly associate with Cang Yan, completely disregarding the suffering of their people. Shameless!"
The people below nodded in agreement.
Everyone understood that their criticisms extended far beyond the Crimson Yan Kingdom, the Precious Tree Kingdom, and the Precious Elephant Kingdom. Lingxu City itself was also a major player with the closest ties to Cang Yan and the most thriving business!
It's just that the King of Aoling couldn't directly target Lingxu City with his attacks.
King Fushanlie of Chiyan sat opposite him and rolled his eyes upon hearing this: "Then what do you want?"
"You shall sever ties with Cang Yan, confiscate Cang Yan's assets, arrest and expel Cang Yan merchants!"
Fu Shanlie sneered, "Sever ties? How could you even utter those words? If we sever ties with Cang Yan, we'll be completely in the dark about what the Nine Nether Emperor and Cang Yan are planning to do. That's what's truly terrifying!"
Between major powers, communication is of paramount importance. Even when Bega and Mou were locked in fierce combat, the ties between the two countries were never severed.
“Cang Yan makes a fortune off Bei Jia every year, and he even dared to assassinate King Bolang! Since they eat our food and then smear our pot, we might as well cut off Cang Yan’s source of income!”
