However, this remote country, which had enjoyed peace for so long, was suddenly attacked by a group of powerful enemies a few days ago, and the army guarding the imperial city suffered heavy casualties.
Originally, Hanshan Kingdom thought that a neighboring country not far away had launched an attack on them. However, after a closer look, they found that there were only about a hundred people attacking the imperial city, which was a very small number.
But although these people are fewer in number, their strength is extremely strong. Their realms are all above the Yuantai stage, and there are even two Fuhuangs.
These people's fighting methods are very strange. They rarely engage in close combat, and the talismans they use are also weak in power. However, their talismans are very powerful, and each of them has two or three talismans. Their combined fighting power is extremely strong.
Under the crushing of these people's realm, the imperial city of Hanshan Kingdom was quickly breached.
The Hanshan Emperor, Yelu Cangshun, along with a group of royal family members, knelt before the enemy and raised the flag of surrender.
"If you had surrendered earlier, so many people wouldn't have died. You had to wait until we knocked on the city gate before kneeling down. You are such a jerk."
An old man at the Fuhuang realm sneered and said as he looked at the Hanshan royal family kneeling on the ground.
These people were the men sent by Dahuntian. Like Ye Li, they came to the Nine Soul Continent to look for Black Soul Gold.
This group of people had mastered some intelligence about the Nine Souls Continent from the beginning, and knew that the situation here was very different from that in the outside world. They did not have a body as strong as Ye Li's, so each of them could only control multiple talismans to fight. Although their combat effectiveness was reduced, it was not too much of a reduction overall.
When these masters under Dahuntian originally came out, there were about 400 of them. By the time they arrived at the Jiuhun Continent, there were only 108 left, which was indeed a reduction of more than half.
However, among the majority of those who died, most were weaker talisman masters, and the remaining ones were almost all elite.
After entering the stone pillar area off the coast of the Nine Souls Continent, everyone found that the power of the talisman began to weaken. After landing on land, they disguised themselves as a mercenary group and began to explore for intelligence on the road.
The two leaders were masters of the Fuhuang realm. One was named Yi Wenyuan, who was the old man who had just spoken, and the other was named Zeng Deshun.
The two of them managed to gather a lot of information using the ancient language, which they were not fluent in, and gained a simple understanding of this continent.
Of course, their way of gathering intelligence was very different from Ye Li's. They directly captured people from small forces, threatened them with their lives, and told them everything they knew.
After learning about the structure of this continent, they realized that it would be difficult for them, with their small number of people, to directly integrate into the big forces.
After all, they still have some language barriers for the time being, and most of them have not had time to master the ancient language, so they still need some time to learn and adapt.
In order to prepare to stay here for a long time, this group of people learned about the existence of Hanshan Kingdom from intelligence. Knowing that this was a weak country with no background, they simply launched an attack on the imperial city here and captured Hanshan Kingdom in one go.
A weak country like Hanshan Kingdom has only a few cities in the entire country, and the number of its troops is extremely limited. In terms of strength, it even has only one spiritual warrior in the Divine Appearance Stage. How could it be a match for Dahuntian's men? They were easily killed and fled in disarray.
After hearing what Yi Wenyuan said, Hanshan Emperor Yelu Cangshun's face turned pale and blue. He didn't know where these powerful guys in front of him with strange accents came from.
Restraining his anger, Yelu Cang said, "I don't know how my Hanshan country has offended you, why you must attack a small country like ours
Our Hanshan Nation is located in a remote snowy mountain range. It is small and has few resources. We don’t even have many people. We are just a small country. We think we have never provoked you, right? "
Zeng Deshun laughed and said, "We wanted to find a place to set up our base, and we happened to see your place, so we took advantage of the situation and defeated you. Are you dissatisfied with this?"
Hearing Zeng Deshun's words, Yelu Cangshun almost had a spit stuck in his throat. He didn't expect that the reason for the destruction of his country was just because of such a small reason.
They had maintained peace for a hundred years, but it was broken by the other side's idea, and the country was destroyed and people died within a few days.
Thinking of this, Yelu Cangshun burst into tears and said, "Oh my God, what...what did we do wrong!?"
Yi Wenyuan said: "Stop howling here, you didn't do anything wrong, you just had bad luck.
Now we can give you a chance to pledge your loyalty to us, or I will kill all of your royal family and find others to pledge their loyalty to us."
Yi Wenyuan was too lazy to waste time talking to Yelu Cangshun and went straight to the point.
Yelu Cangshun couldn't help but tremble when he heard this. He knew that the other party could definitely do what he said. If his answer made the other party dissatisfied, the Yelu family would definitely be wiped out.
He kept lamenting in his heart, but he also knew that he had no way out. The opponent's strength was too strong and it was not something their Hanshan Kingdom could resist.
"Forget it. Things change over time. The days of my Yelu family claiming the throne have come to an end, and the fate of Hanshan Kingdom must have come to an end as well.
Since you have already conquered the city, we are willing to serve you in order to save our lives. We hope you can spare the lives of my entire clan."
After a long sigh, Yelu Cangshun had no choice but to surrender. After all, the enemy was too powerful and they were totally beyond their ability to fight against.
Hearing his answer, Yi Wenyuan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, that's right, since you are willing to surrender, then I will still let you sit on the throne of the emperor, but only on the surface.
You must remember that now in your country, we are the only ones who really speak out, and you can only be the listeners.
If you do well, then after we leave, this country will still be yours, otherwise you will just become a pile of dirt."
Hearing Yi Wenyuan's words, Yelu Cangshun showed a puzzled look on his face and said, "I don't know what exactly you want us to do. Our abilities are limited. If it is something that you can't do, can we really do it?"
Yi Wenyuan smiled lightly and said, "Some things cannot be accomplished simply by being strong. From now on, you are not allowed to have any questions. Just do whatever I tell you to do.
Now the first thing I command you to do is to summon all the ministers in your country and gather them all in your palace.
Also, go find me some materials, I want to set up a large formation outside your palace."
Yelu Cangshun was a little confused when he heard Yi Wenyuan's words, but since the other party said that he was not allowed to ask, he did not dare to ask and could only nod in agreement.
