Chapter 2448

They had failed!

The Crown Prince stood in the middle of the palace dejectedly. The assassination attempt had failed, and not a single one had returned. The enemy was unharmed.

It was over, it was all over. The assassination attempt rarely failed, and even if it did, there would be no losses. The assassination attempt on the North King had failed, but he had still managed to escape unscathed.

These were the Crown Prince's trump cards, but now they were all dead, and the mission had not been completed. He knew that he had no chance of winning against the North King.

He also knew that the North King was preparing to attack and take him down in one fell swoop. He knew his brother's capabilities.

It was said that the people who understood each other the most were not friends, but enemies, especially life and death enemies.

A love-hate relationship!

This was also why love and hate could change. If the enemy was a man and a woman, most of the time they would end up together.

If they were of the same gender, they would appreciate each other. Even if there was a blood feud, it would not stop them from appreciating each other. At that time, hatred would be a kind of mission.

However, for the Crown Prince and the North King, one was doing it for benefits, while the other was doing it for self-preservation. Who knew if this would change in the end?

…

The North King Residence was indeed reorganizing and preparing to attack. However, the North King was worried about the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who had just surrendered. What would happen if they faced their former comrades from the Crown Prince's residence? Would they change sides at the last minute? If that happened, it would be 6.0 million against 755,555 …

Also, the families of these generals were still in the city where the Crown Prince's residence was located. Would the Crown Prince use this to threaten them? That would make him bear the brunt of the blame and lower the loyalty of his subordinates.

However, for the sake of his own interests, he could not rule out the possibility of the other party doing this. That was why the North King Residence was discussing this matter.

Qinchuan was also present. This was a headache. Even the generals and chiliarchs who had surrendered had received the Crown Prince's letter.

If they resisted, the 755,555 soldiers of the North King Residence would definitely die. Even the generals who could fight against 65,555 people might not be able to keep their lives.

There was a huge difference between trusted subordinates and surrendered soldiers. This was mainly because he had too few soldiers and too many surrendered soldiers.

If he had a million soldiers, even if there were 755,555 who surrendered, they could be scattered among the various troops and slowly assimilated over time.

If he only brought 755,555 soldiers with him, it wouldn't do either. Once these people betrayed him, he would be surrounded by enemies, and the result would be the same.

All of a sudden, he felt that this was a dead end. No matter what he did, he would not be able to break out of this predicament. If the Crown Prince were to personally lead the army into battle, it would still be a dead end.

The North King's face was covered in a thin layer of sweat. Furthermore, with the Crown Prince's methods, he would definitely do something like this. He understood his elder brother's character very well, and he would definitely not miss out on such an opportunity.

Soon, they received news that the Crown Prince was leading an army of eight hundred thousand men and seven enemies of ten thousand men toward the North Palace.

Moreover, there were quite a number of prisoner carriages, and the people imprisoned inside were the family members of the surrendered generals. When the time came, they just had to drag them out and behead them one by one. Not many people would be able to withstand it.

Family members should not be implicated. This method was very inhumane and not accepted by anyone, but at least it was effective at the moment.

The Crown Prince felt that he was already at the end, and if he didn't do this, he would die. If he did this, he might have a good chance. As for what would happen in the future, he couldn't care less. Desperate times called for desperate measures.

Those who achieved great things did not care about trifles. Furthermore, the last person to laugh was the winner. As for the process and means, it was not important. What mattered was the result.

"Perhaps things are not as bad as we think. Since the other party is so cruel, North King, you should let them go," Qinchuan said with a smile.

"It's useless. Let them go. When the time comes, they will be the vanguard attacking us," the North King said.

"Open the city gates. No matter who it is, let them enter the city. Let's see who comes in and see if they still have a conscience. Tell them what to do. They have the right to decide," Qinchuan said.

"Open the city gates. Is that okay?" the North King asked.

"If you can't make up your mind to kill these six hundred thousand people, then this is the only way. Do you have a better idea?" Qinchuan looked at him.

"Alright, I'll go now," the North King said after some hesitation.

Qinchuan didn't say anything. Niu Ben accompanied the North King.

Sighing, Qinchuan and Yu Qing walked out and stood on the city walls. The Crown Prince's army would only take half a day to get here. They would arrive soon.

"Is it very troublesome?" Yu Qing asked.

"The only thing I can do is to capture the leader of the bandits. However, if you cannot find the leader of the bandits, there is nothing I can do. Once a fight breaks out, who knows how many people will die?" Qin Chuan said as he looked at Yu Qing.

"This is how the world is. The weak are prey to the strong. For the sake of one's own interests, this is the law of nature," Yu Qing said helplessly.

"Madam is right. Madam is the prettiest."

"You … I used to think that you were a very strict person. How did you become like this? You have a glib tongue, shameless b * stard …" Yu Qing looked at Qinchuan helplessly.

"If I were to be so obedient, how would I be able to win the heart of a beauty? It's been so long. It's about time we had a child, right?" Qinchuan smiled at her.

Yu Qing panicked a little. If Qinchuan had been flirting with her, she would have glared at him and ignored him. But this guy was using such a method. She didn't know what to say.

Actually, this sentence touched her a lot. She was a martial artist, and her body was the youngest. But she wasn't young anymore. She was even older than Qinchuan.

She had lived alone for a long time. She had seen families fall apart, and she had also seen families without warmth. But she had also seen many harmonious and warm families.

Actually, everyone had blood ties. This didn't matter if they were male or female. Women were born with maternal instincts. This was ingrained in their bones. No matter how strong a woman was, or how high her status was, this was the same.

Even animals knew how to lick their calves, let alone humans.

Qinchuan didn't expect Yu Qing to react this way. He quickly hugged her and said, "Don't be troubled. We are still young. We can think about this later."

Yu Qing smiled. This man was very understanding and considerate. He was very considerate. It was very relaxing and safe beside him. It wasn't boring.

Yu Qing extended her head and kissed Qinchuan on the lips. It took longer than usual. She lowered her head and said softly with a red face, "Are you satisfied? Don't say you're not satisfied. "

Qinchuan smiled and said, "So fragrant, so sweet."

Close to 155,555 surrendered soldiers left Monarch City. The gates of Monarch City were open and no longer closed. However, 755,555 elite soldiers were already ready for battle.
