Chapter 2498: Abdication (5)
Don’t talk about how other people could not fathom what was going through Shen Yanxiao’s mind. Even
among her friends, few people understood why she did such a thing.
With Tang Nazhi’s simple and straightforward mode of thinking, it was completely impossible to
understand why Shen Yanxiao refused to own the Long Xuan Empire and instead forced the father to
abdicate and the son to sit on the throne.
“What exactly on earth is Little Xiao thinking? Why not just take over the Long Xuan Empire?” Tang Nazhi
thought for a long time but he really couldn’t comprehend the reason for this and thus, could only ask Qi
Xia quietly.
With their current strength, no one in the hall could hear their conversation except Shen Yanxiao.
Qi Xia glanced at Tang Nazhi with an eyeful of disgust.
“Do you think Little Xiao should have accepted it?”
Tang Nazhi answered as if it should be by rights, “Of course!”
“Idiot.” Qi Xia said.
“...” Tang Nazhi decided to note down Qi Xia’s insult on a small notebook for the time being and wait until
the four countries dispersed before settling accounts with him!
“If Little Xiao accepts Long Yue’s proposal at this time, the hearts of the other three countries will
denitely be unstable.” Qi Xia patiently pointed out the right way to Tang Nazhi, who had gone astray.
“Ah?” Tang Nazhi obviously did not understand Qi Xia’s meaning.
Qi Xia let out a sigh.
“If the Long Xuan Empire also belonged to Little Xiao, then Little Xiao will certainly protect the Long Xuan
Empire according to the specications of the Barren Land. Then the forces in Little Xiao’s hands will be
dispersed, and this dispersion will make the other three countries uneasy, fearing that Little Xiao will not
have the troops to aid them. They and the Long Xuan Empire are dierent; unlike the Long Xuan Empire,
they can’t have their countries fall under the jurisdiction of Little Xiao. The four countries were originally
equal in status. If one of them gets more help from the Barren Land, it will directly lead to the imbalance
of the four powers and the other three countries will naturally panic. Although our Barren Land is not as
vast as the other four countries, all of them are now counting on Little Xiao to turn the tide of the war
against the Devil Race.”
Tang Nazhi nodded in the moment of sudden realization.
“And I wondered why the expressions of those people were so tangled just now. So they worried about
this.”
Basically, these countries all wanted to hug Shen Yanxiao’s thighs! They were afraid that the Long Xuan
Empire would end up hugging a whole one while they had to divide the other one between the three of
them. Obviously, that was not enough!
Qi Xia shrugged his shoulders.
Qi Xia’s analysis was exactly what Shen Yanxiao thought.
It wasn’t that she did not want the Long Xuan Empire, but this was not the right time.
Confronting the Devil Race was her top priority right now. She didn’t want to see any estrangement
between the forces in the Radiance Continent before the war began.
Shen Yanxiao needed to take the overall situation into consideration.
“You don’t have to worry too much. Although my Barren Land has limited power, the enemy of the devils
isn’t only our race. Elves, dwarves, dragons, merfolk, undead. They will all join our camp. My Barren Land
cannot accommodate so many armies of these several races.” Shen Yanxiao opened her mouth with a
smile. Her words might seem simple, but she was giving reassurance to the other three countries.
Even if the number of troops in the Barren Land was limited, at least there were armies of the other races
that would help them ght against the enemy together!
For every race Shen Yanxiao mentioned, the hearts of all the people in the hall beat violently. And when
they heard the word ‘undead’, they could hardly believe their ears.
Undead. That was the race that had always stood on the side of the devils. How much ability did Shen
Yanxiao have in the end, to pull the undead to their side?
