Chapter 442 Date of Death · No Choice
Zhongzhou State still kept silent.
The international stage was still full of hustle and bustle.
The United Nations conference had been over, but huge pressure was still surging towards Zhongzhou State.
From early morning to night, this was bound to be an abrupt and delicate day.
Wulan State, Oga State, Ross State, and Zhongzhou State completely changed their attitudes. The world’s major powers had exerted pressure on Zhongzhou State. The turbulent day had gradually come to an end. Numerous plots had been brewing in a frenetic atmosphere. Only a few people found that in this trend, Wulan State, Oga State, Ross State that were supposed to be the most excited suddenly became silent.
They became as silent as Zhongzhou State. From the evening, speakers from the three countries had never spoken against Zhongzhou State.
Because they had lost contact with the patriarch of the Rekvia family, Schenker.
The Rekvia castle was very close to Recchi City.
As soon as the battle in the castle took place, the high-level officials of Wulan State had already received the news.
In the surveillance image of the satellite, it was completely chaotic.
Jiang Qiansong, Black Ghost, Li Tianlan, Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud, countless masters of the Rekvia family, Dark Swordmaster Qin Xilai...
In the light and shadow that filled the whole scene, most of Wulan State’s high-level officials were watching this scene in silence.
They did not see Schenker, the patriarch of the Rekvia family.
But they saw Jiang Qiansong and Black Ghost attacking the Rekvia castle.
In the high-level conference room of Recchi City, every high-level of Wulan State who saw this picture felt a little weird.
Regardless of the situation, at least it now seemed that Rekvia had changed its position and stood in Li Tianlan’s camp.
What an awkward situation was this?
Twelve hours ago, Wulan State had still taken the initiative to declare a war with Zhongzhou State.
If Rekvia joined the Zhongzhou State camp, What would Wulan State do?
The declaration of war between Wulan State and Zhongzhou State was the result of the powerful influence of the Rekvia family.
In capitalist countries, capital itself had unimaginable magic and power. The entire Rekvia family was a huge monster entrenched in the five Eastern European countries. Their capital controlled all important industries in several countries. Countless members of parliament, generals, senior officials kept in touch with them. All the media supported and talked for them. It was no exaggeration to say that as long as the patriarch of Rekvia was willing and pretended to cough, he could easily resonate through the five Eastern European countries.
Wulan State might have the power to resist Rekvia.
But the government of Wulan State did not.
Schenker ordered Wulan State to declare war with Zhongzhou State. As long as there was no implementation, both the President and the Prime Minister would be ousted directly the next day.
This was the power of capital.
That was why Wulan State’s senior officials felt embarrassed.
In less than twenty-four hours after the country declared war with Zhongzhou State, Rekvia shook hands with Zhongzhou State. How should Wulan State face Zhongzhou State?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEach high-level official was silent. The atmosphere in the conference room was as rigid as frozen one.
Many people here were related to the Rekvia family, and even some were from the Rekvia family. But from their political standpoint, no matter what they had to do with Rekvia, everyone felt shamed when they thought of Rekvia’s handshake with Zhongzhou State.
The communication screen in the conference room suddenly changed.
An old general with a white beard appeared on the screen, serious and solemn.
All high-level officials looked at him at the same time.
With a solemn salute, the old general took a deep breath and slowly said, “Mr. President, Mr. Prime Minister, the Duke of England, Queen of EU Shadow Throne, and KingTong·Rothschild demanded entry into Recchi City.”
The president of Wulan State, who was calm and expressionless, did not speak.
The Prime Minister aside slightly shook his body.
Rothschild was the top wealthy family in Europe, a dominating one enough to keep pace with the Wang family of Beihai. Such a family dominated the UK and were grand dukes for all generations. In this generation, the title of the grand Duke went to Rothschild’s KingTong.
She was not the patriarch of Rothschild.
However, the titles of Queen of Shadow Throne and Grand Duke of Rothschild were enough to show that at this moment, in Western Europe, the most supreme Rothschild and Shadow Throne both set their eyes on Recchi City.
It was a long silence.
The communication never hung up.
After an unknown period of time, a noise suddenly sounded from the screen.
Another sound rang in the screen.
This was also a report, but it sounded from the old general’s communicator. The old general had never blocked the call, so the news reported to the old general passed directly to the ears of all high-level officials in Wulan State. “I report, General. Holy Virgin of the Vatican His Highness Angel, the Under-Secretary of Holy Disarmament Corps His Highness Mellad, and the Grand Horsewoman of Knights Templars His Highness Chaos demanded to enter Recchi City.”
The old general on the screen froze for a moment. Then he looked at the high-level officials in the conference room and became silent.
A rapid breathing sounded in the depressed conference room.
The President with a dull face moved his body, glanced at the old general, and nodded slightly.
The old general hesitated, nodded slightly, picked up the communicator, and said in a low voice, “Let them go!”
“It doesn’t look that bad.”
The President, who had been silent for an unknown period of time, smiled. His smile was a little self-deprecating.
Snowdance Corps, the Jiang family of South America, the Qin Clan of Eastern Europe, Rothschild, Vatican, Knights Templars.
On the small land of Wulan State, six major forces had participated in the competition in a day.
So had Wulan State’s Rekvia.
The situation was extremely chaotic.
Only...
“We always need someone to work with.” Wulan State’s president spoke slowly.
Prior to the collapse of the Polar Ground Alliance, the Dark World of entire Eastern Europe had been controlled by the Polar Ground Alliance. The Polar Ground Alliance had been controlled by the four major families in Eastern Europe. The four families with countless benefits conveyed the benefits of the Dark World to Eastern European countries. So when the Polar Ground Alliance existed, no country in Eastern Europe was worried about the war in the Dark World.
But now the Polar Ground Alliance had collapsed. So Wulan State, controlled by Rekvia, was suddenly extremely vulnerable.
Under such circumstances, Wulan State must find a dark force to cooperate with, just as East Island had chosen the Purgatory of Heaven Capital at first.
The war in the Dark World could be very large or small at times. But it was undeniable that every large-scale conflict in the Dark World was extremely sensitive. The focus of the Dark World’s battle was basically related to the national development. No country dared to let uncontrolled Dark World develop unbridledly on its own territory. So many countries had only two choices when facing foreign forces, either to expel or cooperate.
In the latter case, it was usually because these countries did not have sufficient power to perform the deportation.
This was a helpless action.
The geographical location of Wulan State was extremely important. It had always been a battleground for people. Twenty years ago, Zhongzhou State had established Arctic Ocean Command and the best goal had been Wulan State.
At that time, the Li family in Zhongzhou State had been very powerful. The two His Highnesses had been invincible. With the full support of Zhongzhou State and the assistance of the Wang family of Beihai, Arctic Ocean Command had experienced numerous wars before and after its establishment.
With countless chips, the Li family had encountered united rejection and resistance from all European powers and giants in Eastern Europe, including Rothschild.
In the end, although the Li family had opened the situation in Eastern Europe and had established Arctic Ocean Command, the five Eastern European countries with Wulan State as the core had had no room for the Li family to intervene.
Wulan State was a large European country with various resources and was a world-renowned granary. Its location determined its importance. Between Eastern Europe and Western Europe, Wulan State was the most important focus and the most natural corridor. The coastline of Wulan State had direct access to Eastern Europe, Western Europe and East Asia.
It was no exaggeration to say that if Zhongzhou State had occupied this place, it would be able to grasp the throat of the whole Europe.
The major powers in Western Europe were not interested in Arctic Ocean Command in Eastern Europe. They just did not want the Li family to occupy Wulan State and threaten themselves too much in the rear.
In fact they had made it.
Arctic Ocean Command had been established.
The Li family had exited from Eastern Europe.
However, the entire Arctic Ocean Command in Eastern Europe was completely cut off by several countries around Wulan State. For more than two decades, its deterrent power was still seriously insufficient.
Now the Polar Ground Alliance collapsed and Zhongzhou State made a comeback. It was still the Li family and the chaos of that year.
But now the Li family was not as good as it had been before.
At present, any superpower that had entered Wulan State had full interest in cooperating with Wulan State.
Wulan State could choose Zhongzhou State, Rothschild, Vatican, the Jiang family of South America...
But everything was only theoretical.
In such a chaotic situation, Wulan State, a country with a weak overall national strength, could only bring disaster to itself if it rashly chose.
The President thought silently, and suddenly broke the silence of the conference room. “Recchi City gives up all defenses.”
There was a moment of silence in the conference room, and then it was drowned by an exclaim.
The President looked at incredible expressions of many high-level officials and calmly said, “Now Wulan State is the freest, but also the most powerless. We must cooperate with other forces in any case. In this case, we give up the city defense and let all forces come in and let them fight.”
He paused and said flatly, “We will only choose the winner.”
The communication in the conference room was suddenly connected again.
The figure of the old general appeared on the screen again.
His expression was still serious, but the muscles in the corners of his eyes were constantly shaking.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe President looked at him and said nothing.
“Everyone ...”
The old general’s voice was extremely low, so it sounded extremely weak. “I’ve got the news...”
His voice was like a groaning moan. “Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou State Wang Tianzong has already entered Recchi City and is currently advancing towards the Rekvia castle.”
The uproar of the conference room suddenly became a silence.
Wang Tianzong.
Zhongzhou State Sword Emperor.
No.1 in the Divine List.
Not to mention his Wang family of Beihai, for a country with a weak national strength like Wulan State, Wang Tianzong alone represented the strength that made Wulan State unable to resist.
No one dared to speak.
No one in the meeting room could see Wang Tianzong.
But just hearing this name, everyone seemed to feel the lord-like majesty of piercing Eastern Europe from Beihai.
It was the majesty of Sword Emperor.
The Wang family of Beihai also intervened.
The President trembled his palm for a moment, and suddenly asked, “Where have Snowdance Corps gone?”
“They are less than twenty kilometers from Recchi City.”
The old general had a heavy tone.
“How is their damage?”
The President took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.
“Three thousand people lost more than two-thirds. But they marched all the way through and have cut through our six large elite groups! At present, almost half of the military in Wulan State has been completely defeated by Snowdance Corps...”
The old general smiled bitterly and said, “It is expected that in up to forty minutes, they will reach outside Recchi City.”
“President, what shall we do ?!” A grumpy military senior suddenly stood up and asked loudly in the conference room.
“Wait.”
The President’s tone was low and brief. “For now, we can only wait. Everyone, tonight’s situation may not be enough to determine the future of Eastern Europe. But it is enough to determine the future of Wulan State. We only choose the winner, no matter who the winner is. So...”
He stood up and bowed deeply to all the seniors in the meeting room. “Please support me.”
Everyone looked at the President and spoke nothing.
Everyone understood that the fate of Wulan State depended on the victory or defeat of several major forces.
They could not do anything right now.
After the collapse of the Polar Ground Alliance, Wulan State’s most vulnerable side completely broke out tonight, leaving every Wulan State’s high-level official powerless.
They could choose.
But they could only choose the winner.
However, there was only one winner.
So this so-called choice was actually no choice.
