2494: Abdication (2)

Abdication (2)

The emperor could not understand when his son had become so stupid as to give up his country to others. Although it would be very strenuous for the Longxuan Empire to fight against the Devil race, the Emperor understood that the Devil race was not the enemy of the Longxuan Empire alone, but the enemy of the entire Brilliance Continent. Even if their Longxuan Empire could not fight against the devil army, Shen Yanxiao and the other three countries would not stand by and do nothing. Even if it were for the sake of the victory of mankind, they would certainly help.1

In the emperor's opinion, Long Yue's decision was extremely stupid. He could have used the other three countries and Shen Yanxiao to save the Longxuan Empire and his son. Why did he choose the most unacceptable path?

Shen Yanxiao looked at the furious emperor and was not surprised at all. It was as if the emperor's reaction was within her expectations.

Long Yue turned to look at his father. His former respect had been replaced by a touch of despair. That was his father, the ruler of a country that he had most respected and admired. He had thought countless times that he would become a powerful ruler like his father in the future, but now, the mountain named father standing before him had gradually collapsed. The messy gravel smashed into his heart, making his soul ache.

"Father, don't you understand?" Long Yue's voice was very soft, but it made people feel uncontrollable sadness.

"Although the Devil race is not the enemy of our country, once the war starts, the whole Brilliance Continent will become a battlefield. The Seventh Kingdom, the God Wind Alliance, the Blue Moon Dynasty, and even the Forsaken Land will face the invasion of the Devil race. Even if they are willing to help us defeat the enemy, it is only after they have swept away the devils in their territory that they will have the chance to send troops. The army of our Longxuan Empire will not be able to hold on until then." Long Yue was in despair. He was unwilling to make such a choice unless he had no choice, but as the crown prince, he could not ignore the lives of the people.

Shen Yanxiao would send troops, but she would only have time to rescue the Longxuan Empire after she had eliminated the devils in the Forsaken Land. However, the current situation of the Longxuan Empire could not stop the devils for long.

Once the war broke out, the Longxuan Empire would be the first territory to be conquered. At that time, the citizens of the Longxuan Empire would also become the targets of the devils' massacre.

Destroying a country…

The Devil Race had done this before.

Long Yue's words rendered the emperor speechless. He stared at his son with a tangled expression, trying to find a trace of suspicion on his face.

Unfortunately, Long Yue's expression was filled with sadness.

Shen Yanxiao just watched quietly, watching the confrontation between the two rulers of the Longxuan Empire.

"Father, if we belong to the Forsaken Land, we still have the possibility of living." Long Yue closed his eyes and said something despairing.

The emperor's shoulders collapsed in an instant. He seemed to have aged in an instant as he sat on the chair in a panic and looked at the people in the hall with complicated expressions.

The Emperor of the Longxuan Empire, the ruler of a country, was merely so-so.

"Long Yue… you did the right thing…" The emperor's voice was hoarse. It was not that he was no longer greedy for power, but he finally understood that only when he was alive could he have everything. If the Longxuan Empire was destroyed, even if he still had the title of emperor, it would be while he was still alive. If he died, everything would disappear.

Both the country and the throne would turn into nothingness.
