Chapter 2493: The Long Xuan Empire's Awkward Situation (3)

This glance of Shen Yanxiao not only shocked all the people from the Long Xuan Empire, but also made the people in the other three countries hold their breath. Most of them had witnessed the actions of the Long Xuan Empire over the past two years. They were now very curious about what Shen Yanxiao would do with them. With the present strength of the Barren Land, not to mention the Long Xuan Empire, even if the

four countries joined hands again, it was likely that they were still not Shen Yanxiao's opponent.

“Prince Long Yue.” Shen Yanxiao suddenly opened her mouth and called out Long Yue's name.

Long Yue gave a slight start. He looked up at Shen Yanxiao, his handsome face full of surprise, as

though in a trance.

“Tell me about the pre-war preparations of the Long Xuan Empire during this period of time.” Shen

Yanxiao propped up her chin with one hand and looked at Long Yue, calm and unrued. She did not even spare the emperor beside Long Yue a sidelong glance. A lion that lost its courage might as well become a cat.

Long Yue got up without hesitation. At this moment, he represented not only himself but also the

Long Xuan Empire. He was the prince of the Long Xuan Empire and had his responsibilities.

“Yes.” Long Yue walked to the front of Shen Yanxiao and handed the already-prepared doc.u.ment to her. Then, he stood there honestly without moving half a step.

Shen Yanxiao glanced at the record, triggering a smile on her mouth.

“Not bad. The Long Xuan Empire is well prepared.” When Shen Yanxiao's voice fell to the ground, all the people in the hall were shocked. Even the

emperor, who had been afraid to look up, raised his head at this moment and looked at Shen

Yanxiao in surprise. Not bad? How could it be so? During this period of time, the Long Xuan Empire did not make any preparations at all. Why would

Shen Yanxiao say such words? Only State Preceptor Pei Yuan painfully closed his eyes. Among all the people present, he was the only one who knew what exactly Long Yue had handed

over to Shen Yanxiao. After all, the survival of the Long Xuan Empire was not guaranteed.

“Long Yue, you are very smart.” Shen Yanxiao looked at Long Yue with a smile on her mouth.

“In the future, the Long Xuan Empire will belong to the Lord. This is my decision and that of my

father. Please accept it.” Long Yue looked rmly at Shen Yanxiao with clear and bright eyes, as

though he had not noticed how shocking his decision was. What Long Yue presented was not at all a record of pre-war preparations, but rather a doc.u.ment of owners.h.i.+p, which clearly stated that the Long Xuan Empire would give up its independent status

from today and become part of Shen Yanxiao's Barren Land.

This also meant that Long Yue had made the most dicult decision on behalf of the emperor. He had given up his n.o.ble royal status and made the Long Xuan Empire a dependent of the Barren

Land. As long as Shen Yanxiao accepted his proposition, from now on, there would no longer be a Long Xuan Empire in the Radiance Continent!

This was a decision that Long Yue had made when they set out. He knew very well that although

Shen Yanxiao might not pursue his father's previous actions because she was concerned about the overall situation, the army of the Long Xuan Empire did not have enough strength to ght o the Devil Race. Once the Devil Race launched their attacks, the battleeld would spread to all parts of the Radiance Continent, and relying solely on the original army of the Long Xuan Empire, it was an impossible

task to ght against the devils invading their territory. In order to ensure that the citizens of the

Long Xuan Empire would not be trampled by the devils and that the Long Xuan Empire would not be completely destroyed, Long Yue could only choose to submit to Shen Yanxiao and make the

Long Xuan Empire a part of the Barren Land. In that way, Shen Yanxiao would have no problems with sending troops to support the Long Xuan Empire and defend her territory.
