C2218 One Should Know When to Stop
Feng Yixiu slowly raised his hand, causing the noisy crowd to quieten down. He said, "I can understand everyone's feelings. It's just that whether Capital of Asura can rise to the top of the empire depends on this. We can't give up halfway."
"I understand the king's intention. However, Capital of Asura is still a young country. How can it fight against the Sun Moon Empire that has been established for hundreds of years?"
An old official with a white beard stood out and spoke with a worried expression.
"This is the only way. We can only fight with our backs against the water!" Feng Yixiu pretended to be in a difficult position and immediately shouted: "Pass on my order. All the Spiritual Card and Demonic Beast Core sold in Capital of Asura will be reduced to 50%!"
"Boom!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall exploded. Almost everyone looked at Asura King with shocked expressions.
Even if it was a 70% sale, it was already a huge loss. It was reduced to 50% in an instant. What was the difference between this and giving it away for free?!
Feng Yixiu's action in front of everyone's eyes was somewhat eager for quick success. If Sun Moon Empire was not scared off, it was afraid that it would be difficult to end things in the future...
"Dear ministers, I know that all of you are thinking about the future development of the Capital of Asura. However, there is nothing more important than the rise of the Capital of Asura to the empire. Even if we have to go bankrupt, we still have to take a gamble. I think that the Sun Moon Empire has a huge business and I don't think they have the courage to do so."
Feng Yixiu slowly stood up, as if he was trying his best to calm the emotions of all the officials.
"Puchi..."
However, amidst the wailing, one could hear the few of them trying their best to hold back their laughter. However, they could not hold it in any longer.
These people were none other than Dongfang Xiamo, Han Xiao, and the others. As one of the few people who knew the inside story, they naturally knew that Feng Yixiu was just putting on an act.
Feng Yixiu shot a sharp glance at these people and saw that their smiles were instantly withdrawn. They deliberately put on a serious and solemn expression.
"To tell you the truth, huaxia has been secretly helping our Capital of Asura. So, there's no need to panic. Everything is within my expectation!"
As soon as his voice faded, the somewhat out of control of the Imperial Court instantly quieted down. Everyone revealed a knowing smile.
Currently, china was the strongest country in the world. Even if Sun Moon Empire used everything they had, they would definitely not be a match for China.
However, they never thought that Sun Moon Empire had already secretly allied with Northern Yuan Empire. If what Feng Yixiu said was true, Capital of Asura would be in big trouble...
After the routine court session ended, the civil and military officials also retreated like the tide. However, Feng Yixiu, Shen Ruyu and the rest did not leave in time.
"Third Brother, your acting skills are really becoming more and more proficient! If not for the fact that I know the truth, I would have been fooled by you..."
Han Xiao looked at Feng Yixiu with admiration and gave him a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.
"You have to put on a full show for this act. Empress Tian Yu isn't someone who can be easily fooled. This fellow finally came here to die. I can't let her escape. " Feng Yixiu shook his head with a smile and said indifferently.
"But the price has dropped to fifty percent. Could it be that Empress Tian Yu has really been scared away?" Shen Ruyu frowned slightly and said worriedly.
"It will not. With my understanding of Empress Tian Yu, this action will make the other party think that I am guilty. Not only will she not give up, but she will also invest even more firmly. Even if she were to react later on, she has no way out... " Feng Yixiu smiled and shook his head, as if everything was under his control.
As expected, the four of them did not chat for long before the golden-armored guard charged into the hall again, panting.
Before the golden-armored guard could speak, Feng Yixiu took the initiative to speak, "Did Sun Moon Empire lower the price to 50%?"
"My King, this is the latest news. How did you know?" The golden-armored guard was shocked and shouted.
"There's no need for you to ask about this, withdraw..." Feng Yixiu smiled and waved his hand.
"Yes, sir!"
The golden-armored guard wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly left the hall.
"Third brother, you aren't predicting the future, are you? Sun Moon Empire has always wanted to suppress us, so the price is one percent lower than ours. This time, the price is the same as ours." Dongfang Xiamo asked curiously.1
" Their pricing is only to infuriate me. Their main purpose is to exhaust us to death. Fifty percent is already far beyond their expectations. To them, there is no room for decline. Moreover, I've already given a strong response, so there's naturally no need for me to continue angering them. " Feng Yixiu explained with a smile.
"Then do we still need to continue to lower the price?" Shen Ruyu asked.
Feng Yixiu shook his head. He said lightly, "We can't lower it anymore. I'm afraid that they will really be scared away. We can't let this cooked duck fly away... "
" Third Brother, your sense of division is truly amazing. It looks like the Heavenly Imperial Female Empress is really finished this time!" Dongfang Xiamo's smile was like a flower as she shouted loudly.
"It is a pity that this battle of attrition can only last for one and a half months at most. Otherwise, it is not impossible for Sun Moon Empire to completely collapse. Feng Yixiu placed his hands behind his back and sighed.
"Why can it only last for one and a half months?" Han Xiao asked curiously.
"Every year at the end of the year, World Alliance of Battle Spirit will announce the national rankings of every country in the world. All the countries in the world will participate in it. At that time, even if we want to continue, empress Tian Yu won't give us another chance..." Feng Yixiu explained patiently.
"So that's how it is. If that's the case, it's really a pity. However, I'm really looking forward to the end of the year. I reckon that Empress Tian Yu will be angered to tears at that time!" Dongfang Xiamo rubbed her small hands full of expectation and said with a smile.
"I don't care what Empress Tian Yu will do. I only know that this battle will be the famous battle of Capital of Asura, and it will also be the battle of the Capital of Asura becoming a Peerless Emperor!" Feng Yixiu's eyes were gloomy as he spoke in a serious tone.
The trade war was a war without smoke and smoke, but its degree of cruelty was no less than a real war, and the impact it would cause was even more far-reaching than the war.
Almost every day, half an hour after the World Trade Organization was opened, the two countries and their vassal countries would instantly empty out all their Spiritual Card and Demonic Beast Core. If they were a little slower, they wouldn't be able to snatch them away.
The kings of the world also understood that this rare opportunity would not last for too long. After the trade war ended, it would probably be hard for them to encounter this opportunity again.
This one and a half month was a painful torture for Sun Moon Empire , but for most of the countries in the world, it was a golden age celebration.
Every day when Empress Tian Yu opened her eyes, the first thing she did was to ask if Capital of Asura had closed the trading window, but every time, she would feel extremely disappointed.
Ever since the war of trade consumption had officially started, empress Tian Yu could only watch helplessly as the Sun Moon Empire 's abundant national treasury was decreasing day by day. Her heart was also bleeding continuously.
The variety of Spiritual Card in the Sun Moon Empire was far inferior to the Capital of Asura. Therefore, she had to spend a large amount of spirit stones to buy Spiritual Card and Demonic Beast Core at the original price of other countries. After that, she would grit her teeth and sell them at a low price.
In the past, empress Tian Yu had also hesitated about whether she should withdraw in time. However, when she had this thought in mind, something unexpected happened in the Capital of Asura.
For example, when the national treasury of Sun Moon Empire was about to be used up, empress Tian Yu hesitated whether she should ask Great Emperor Beiwu for help at the crucial point. The construction of the city in Capital of Asura suddenly stopped.
This was the most obvious signal in Empress Tian Yu's eyes. The Capital of Asura was about to collapse, and there were no more resources to build the kingdom.
Empress Tian Yu immediately borrowed a large amount of strategic resources from the Northern Yuan Empire without any hesitation. However, just as they thought that everything was about to end... In just a few days, Capital of Asura acted as if nothing had happened. It began to build fortifications on a large scale once again, and it reached the maximum amount of trade every day.
At that time, empress Tian Yu had already started to borrow money. This also meant that they had no way out. If they failed, they would have to bear a huge debt. In other words, the Sun Moon Empire had fallen too deep into the abyss and had no chance to escape...
