"Sigh ~"
His Majesty let out a long sigh. He had never felt so sorrowful before.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Xu Tianyu and Duke William are good friends. We are also going to Duke William's territory. We can ask Duke William to invite Xu Tianyu over."
His Majesty's eyes lit up and he nodded. This way, he would not lose face.
He could also meet Xu Tianyu as a friend and talk to him. If it did not work out, it would not hurt their relationship. They could still be friends.
Even if they could not be friends, Xu Tianyu would not betray the Atabo Empire and help them.
"Hong Fu, I will leave this matter to you. You can handle it."
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will complete the task perfectly."
Hong Fu was happy. If this matter was done well and His Majesty was able to resist the enemy, he would have made a great contribution. He would be able to climb up the ranks in the future. He might even become one of the Three Dukes.
"Okay, go ahead."
King City regained its peace, but it was only the calm before the storm.
There was no wall in the world that could not be ventilated. Therefore, the news that the Atabo Empire was about to attack.
In King City, anyone with a bit of status would know about it.
While they were still feeling uneasy, the army of King City was mobilized.
All the civilians were forced to leave King City and set off for Duke William's territory.
Duke William had already received the notice and had prepared houses for the civilians.
This relocation took half a month. There was no other way. More than two million civilians had been relocated.
Among them were the nobles who had fled. Therefore, the number of people had been reduced by half. Otherwise, they would have moved even slower.
His Majesty did not want the nobles and wealthy merchants to flee. However, he did not have the ability to stop them.
Even the soldiers used to protect the civilians were too busy.
However, he had recorded the names of these people. When he stabilized the situation, these people would be in trouble.
Xu Tianyu was one of the few people who knew about the Heavenly Dragon Empire's actions.
In Xu Tianyu's room, Yūki and Master Bai had already reported everything that had happened to Xu Tianyu.
It was even more detailed than what His Majesty knew.
"Young Master Tenyu, Duke William wants to see you. It seems that he doesn't just want to express his gratitude."
Yūki said with a smile.
"Yes, but I don't plan to let the Heavenly Dragon Empire be destroyed. After all, we are now in the Heavenly Dragon Empire. If you need help, we won't lose anything."
"Yes."
Since Xu Tianyu had spoken, Master Bai and Yūki did not say anything else.
"Have you investigated why the Atabo Empire and the Sand King Empire started the war?"
Xu Tianyu asked with a frown. This was what he really cared about.
He recalled the Necromancer he had met in Five Seas City. He had thought that it was just a small matter in the Sand King Empire, so he did not pay much attention to it.
Now that the Atabo Empire had joined in, it was obvious that there was some unknown secret behind it.
Yūki and Master Bai looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
"Young Master Tenyu, we might need some time. We have sent people to infiltrate the Sand King Empire and the Atabo Empire, but we have not received any news yet."
"Yes, once there is news, inform me immediately."
Xu Tianyu did not blame the two of them. It was mainly because the Atabo Empire had acted too quickly. There was no prelude at all. They had started with a big move.
Many people were stunned. It was normal that the matter had not been investigated. However, he believed in the strength of the Shadow Squad and the Ferocious Tiger Guards. It was only a matter of time before they investigated the matter.
