"Really?" King of Demon Phoenix Kingdom's eyes lit up when he heard that.
But in comparison, Feng Lan was much more cautious because she felt that Bai Yuhao was implying something within his words. Then, she looked at Duan Yuqing beside her with a worried look and became suspicious.
"I hope that Demon Phoenix Kingdom can abandon its defense against its own country, and throw all its troops into the United Army." Bai Yuhao said bluntly.
King of Demon Phoenix Kingdom and Feng Lan were both stunned when they heard this. They never thought that Bai Yuhao would make such a request for cooperation, actually asking Demon Phoenix Kingdom to abandon their own national defenses, and even adding all their troops into the United Army, to a certain extent, this was no different from a country being exterminated.
"King of Chixuan, are you joking? They wanted Demon Phoenix Kingdom to give up their own land. How is that possible? " Feng Lan was also a little angry, thinking that Bai Yuhao was just messing around. Although Bai Yuhao had done a favor for Demon Phoenix Kingdom, she still found it hard to accept bringing up such an outrageous matter.
King of Demon Phoenix Kingdom also nodded. It was really hard to accept Bai Yuhao's request.
"Of course I'm not joking. Besides, there was nothing impossible. If we think about the bigger picture, Demon Phoenix Kingdom will have to give up … " Bai Yuhao said confidently.
"King of Chixuan, as the king, I cannot accept this kind of request. You should understand that if Demon Phoenix Kingdom gives up on defending your own country, then Demon Phoenix Kingdom will immediately be seized, and those innocent citizens will be swept into the flames of war. King of Demon Phoenix Kingdom said righteously.
"Could it be that if our Demon Phoenix Kingdom continues to exist, we won't be invaded? Don't your people get caught up in the flames of war? " Bai Yuhao asked in a harsh tone.
When King of Demon Phoenix Kingdom and Feng Lan were questioned like this, they were instantly rendered speechless, because they understood that the current situation had developed a little bit, and that the Demon Phoenix Kingdom would sooner or later fall as well. However, they couldn't just give up their country and their own people like that.
Now, your Demon Phoenix Kingdom is already in danger without the support of the Phoenix Clan, which is a powerful force. If it wasn't for the United Army restraining Loong Ao, Loong Ao might have already united the human countries with his Demon Phoenix Kingdom. Your Demon Phoenix Kingdom will also have a hard time escaping this calamity. You should be glad that your Demon Phoenix Kingdom has endured until now, but, if you still think about your selfishness, it will only bring more misfortune to your people. " Bai Yuhao's gaze was cold as he spoke with a serious tone. Of course, he was definitely not joking, because as long as he was willing, once the Western Army was withdrawn from the vicinity of Demon Phoenix Kingdom, then Demon Phoenix Kingdom could immediately become the target of public criticism.
"Even so, we can't give up our country." King of Demon Phoenix Kingdom also seemed to have hardened his heart, not wanting to be a criminal with Demon Phoenix Kingdom.
"Then I'll have to do it my own way. When that time comes, the king shall not blame me. " Bai Yuhao didn't want to say anything unnecessary. Actually, he had already made a plan. If he couldn't convince King of Demon Phoenix Kingdom, then he could only use a more forceful method.
When King of Demon Phoenix Kingdom and Feng Lan heard this, their expressions also changed. They believed that the current Bai Yuhao would definitely keep his word.
"Loong Xuan, let the King and Master think about it again!" Duan Yuqing became anxious as she listened. She was really worried that Bai Yuhao would do whatever it took to cause the loss of Demon Phoenix Kingdom. If he did that, more and more innocent people would be implicated.
Bai Yuhao didn't say anything, but his expression was stern and he didn't smile.
"My lord, I hope you will reconsider. Although giving up one's own country is intolerable, it can also prevent even greater harm to one's Demon Phoenix Kingdom … " Duan Yuqing didn't want to say anything at first, but seeing that Bai Yuhao seemed to be serious, she was worried that something might really happen, so she could only help to persuade him.
"Yuqing, you're on King of Chixuan's side?" Feng Lan said with a cold gaze.
"Master, I know Loong Xuan's request sounds outrageous, but after careful consideration, this is also for the sake of Demon Phoenix Kingdom. If Demon Phoenix Kingdom was willing to give up, then they could avoid large-scale wars, and at least a large portion of the citizens would not be involved in the flames of war. Although there will be casualties, but compared to passive resistance, if we give up on our plan, we have more time to prepare. " Duan Yuqing continued.
As Feng Lan listened, she turned her head to look at King of Demon Phoenix Kingdom, and she seemed to be at a loss as well.
"Have you considered it?" At this time, Bai Yuhao asked with a cold expression.
"It's absolutely impossible for me to give up my Demon Phoenix Kingdom." King of Demon Phoenix Kingdom insisted on his opinion.
"Then I can only use my method." Bai Yuhao replied without any hesitation.
"Wait …" At this moment, Feng Lan suddenly thought of something and immediately called out.
When Bai Yuhao, King of Demon Phoenix Kingdom, and Duan Yuqing heard this, they couldn't help but look at Feng Lan at the same time.
However, when Feng Lan suddenly walked to King of Demon Phoenix Kingdom's side and whispered a few words in his ear, King of Demon Phoenix Kingdom revealed a thoughtful expression.
After a long while, King of Demon Phoenix Kingdom slowly raised his head and looked at Bai Yuhao, "Okay, I can agree to your request, but you must also agree to two things. If you agree, I can give up my Demon Phoenix Kingdom. "
"Go ahead." Bai Yuhao said without changing his expression.
"The first thing, if I one day defeat Loong Ao, King of Chixuan must help me regain my peak Demon Phoenix Kingdom." The Demon Phoenix Kingdom Master asked.
"No problem." Bai Yuhao agreed without any hesitation.
"The second matter, you must marry Yuqing." King of Demon Phoenix Kingdom suddenly said something surprising.
Bai Yuhao couldn't help but stare blankly at Duan Yuqing. Back then, the main reason why the king and Feng Lan had sent Duan Yuqing to his side was because they hoped that Duan Yuqing would give birth to a child with him and nurture a better descendant. And according to the rules of the Demon Phoenix Kingdom, Spirit Controller, a genius like Duan Yuqing, was definitely not allowed to marry. Therefore, King of Demon Phoenix Kingdom suddenly wanting him to marry Duan Yuqing was clearly unexpected, but it must have been for a purpose.
Of course, the most unexpected was still Duan Yuqing. How could she have thought that the Emperor would make such a request?
"Then give me a reason to agree." Bai Yuhao squinted his eyes and said to King of Demon Phoenix Kingdom.
"Yuqing, wait outside." Feng Lan said to Duan Yuqing at once.
Duan Yuqing was naturally baffled when she heard that. She glanced at Feng Lan, then at Bai Yuhao before walking out of the hall.
