68: The first battle is the decisive battle, and the outcome will be decided in one battle

The Queen of the Forest and her entourage cautiously followed the Blue Star Soldiers deeper into the forest.

Along the way, the people of the Forest Empire were filled with curiosity, constantly looking around. Their eyes were full of exploration and wonder, and their hearts were filled with deep reverence for the mysterious and powerful force of the Blue Star Troops.

Finally, they arrived at the camp, and a tall, stern figure emerged. This person was Andegu.

Originally, important diplomatic matters like this were usually handled by Xia Feng, but unfortunately, Xia Feng was not in the camp at the time, so Andegu had to take over.

"Welcome, everyone. I am Andegu, the supreme Commander here."

"Lord Andegu, I am the Queen of the Forest Empire. You can call me Xie Wei. We are here on behalf of the Forest Empire to…"

Xie Wei spoke eagerly, trying to state her purpose.

However, before Xie Wei could finish speaking, Andegu waved his hand, interrupting her.

"I already know the situation. Please come in first. I will accept the supplies you brought."

With that, Andegu turned and strode towards the Command Room without a word, leaving Xie Wei standing there, dumbfounded.

A moment later, Xie Wei, having recovered, quickly followed him, her heart also slightly relieved.

After all, since they were willing to accept the supplies she brought, her request for surrender would surely be accepted as well.

Entering the Command Room, Andegu remained silent, slowly picking up a scroll from the table and handing it to Xie Wei.

"This is…"

Xie Wei looked at the scroll Andegu handed her, her eyes, like brilliant stars, filled with confusion, staring intently at Andegu, trying to glean some information from his expression.

"The instrument of surrender. Sign it."

Andegu said expressionlessly.

Even though Xie Wei was as beautiful as a flower, with delicate and charming features, Andegu's face remained unperturbed, as if accepting their surrender was merely a routine procedure.

"Instrument of surrender?"

Xie Wei was slightly surprised, then quickly opened the scroll to examine it carefully. It still listed several major treaties, which were generally similar to the Chaos Empire's instrument of surrender.

After carefully reviewing the treaties on it, Xie Wei did not hesitate for a moment and resolutely signed her name.

As long as it could save the Empire, what did it matter if she lost her rights and interests? Seeing Xie Wei sign her name without hesitation, Andegu was quite surprised.

He had originally thought Xie Wei would haggle with him a bit.

Of course, even if Xie Wei had tried to haggle, he would have refused everything, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Alright, since the instrument of surrender has been signed, then according to the terms of the instrument of surrender, you have the responsibility and obligation to send troops to assist us."

Andegu said with a serious expression.

"Send troops? Is it to attack the Magical Beast Empire?"

Hearing Andegu's words, Xie Wei frowned slightly and asked after a brief thought.

After all, the whole world currently knew that the Blue Star Troops were bravely advancing towards the Magical Beast Empire's capital.

"No, we don't need you for a frontal assault for now. We have received news that the Beast King Empire has begun to mobilize over two million Soldiers to support the Magical Beast Empire. Your mission is to take advantage of the current emptiness of the Beast King Empire's homeland forces and launch an attack on it, forcing them to divert some of their forces to reinforce their homeland."

Andegu explained the battle plan in an orderly manner.

Upon hearing this, Xie Wei's beautiful eyes instantly widened, astonished.

When did the Beast King Empire decide to send out so many troops? She hadn't heard any news of it.

"But we only have a million troops left now, and I'm afraid we can't hold out for too long."

Xie Wei's face showed worry, and her tone carried a hint of anxiety.

"Don't worry, besides you, the Chaos Empire will also assist."

Hearing that the Chaos Empire would also help, Xie Wei finally relaxed. After all, trying to stop over two million troops by herself was simply impossible. On the other side, in the capital of the Chaos Empire, Gaul naturally also received news from the Blue Star Troops, asking him to launch an attack on the Beast King Empire together with the Forest Empire.

Gaul repeatedly expressed his agreement without hesitation. After all, after learning of the power of the so-called "Xili Empire," Gaul had completely lost any thought of resistance.

Ultimately, the world he was in was nothing more than an ant in their eyes, easily destroyed with a casual squeeze.

Not long after, the news of the Forest Empire's surrender quickly spread throughout the world. While everyone was still in shock, an even more significant piece of news followed.

The Forest Empire and the Chaos Empire simultaneously decided to go to war with the Beast King Empire, a piece of news that undoubtedly caused a huge change in the world's pattern (structure/layout).

Currently, a three-way standoff has formed on the alien planet. One side consists of the Blue Star Troops, the Forest Empire, and the Chaos Empire; the other side is the alliance of the Magical Beast Empire and the Beast King Empire; and the last side is, of course, the Merman Empire, which has always remained neutral and silently watched the show. "Damn Gaul and that shameless bitch Xie Wei! Surrendering is one thing, but they even dare to unite with the Blue Star Troops to attack us. They are simply shameless traitors!"

Upon receiving this news, the King of the Beast Horde immediately fell into a frenzy.

After all, this meant that the Beast King would certainly not continue to send troops to reinforce him.

"Reporting, Your Majesty, the Beast King Empire's reinforcement troops have sent us a message saying they are not coming. Their Beast King has ordered them to return…"

The Messenger said with a trembling voice.

"What?"

Hearing this news, the already furious King of the Beast Horde almost fainted from anger.

Even without the massive reinforcement of over two million troops, at least there was an initial reinforcement force coming to help. But now, even that reinforcement force has been recalled. This is simply too much, intolerable.

Of course, the King of the Beast Horde did not blame the Beast King for his anger, but rather entirely blamed the Blue Star Troops. After all, in his opinion, if the Blue Star Troops had not appeared, he would probably still be living a carefree and happy life every day.

"Come, gather all the troops within the Empire and launch a counterattack against the Blue Star Troops!"

The enraged King of the Beast Horde had made up his mind not to continue defending.

Rather than passively defending and having cities taken one after another by the enemy, it would be better to gather all troops, make a desperate, all-out effort, and perhaps, with this final stand, successfully repel or even defeat the Blue Star Troops.

"Your Majesty, please reconsider! Our troops, after such a long battle, now only number a meager two million. It is truly not advisable to fight again!"

Seeing the King of the Beast Horde so impulsive and hot-headed, a Monster Beast General hurriedly spoke to dissuade him.

"Hmph, defending is death, attacking is also death. Then, in your opinion, what should be done?"

Seeing someone obstructing him, the King of the Beast Horde was furious, glaring at the General with wide eyes.

Seeing the King of the Beast Horde glaring at him, the General immediately felt timid, quickly lowered his head, and dared not say another word.

Because, to be honest, if he were truly to make the decision, he would actually be more inclined to imitate the Forest Empire and just surrender. But looking at His Majesty's current angry state, if he dared to propose that idea, today next year would probably be his death anniversary.

"Good, good, good. Since none of you have anything to say, then do as I say. The first battle is the decisive battle, and one battle will determine the outcome!"

The King of the Beast Horde said with a firm and strong tone.
