1164 Azure Badges Diplomacy Card (1/2)

Chapter 1164 – Azure Badge's Diplomacy Card

Obviously, the Peacock Dynasty was not foolish.

However, they had already sent out troops, and if they retreated without even fighting, they would lose all their face. On the other hand, when they thought about the prospect of forcefully going head to head against Great Xia, it felt difficult too.

Bengalore City, palace.

”What should we do?” Durava asked the ministers under him.

One of them was a historical talent; he was the minister under the 3rd generation king of Peacock Dynasty in history, Ashoka. In the game, he was a 50 year old man and the person Durava trusted the most.

”Does the king want to retreat or protect Piao Country?” He asked.

Durava was stunned but answered, ”It would be best if we could protect Piao Country.”

”Since that's the case, I have a plan.”

”Speak!” Durava's eyes lit up.

He said, ”Doesn't Gupta Dynasty also want to assist Piao Country, except we did not allow them to pass? Then we should make way for them and let them enter the Piao Country battlefield.”

”This.” Durava frowned and said in worry, ”Would that not be too risky? What if they do not assist Piao and attack us halfway?”

The two dynasties were enemies and such a matter was not an impossibility.

”They will not.” The minister was filled with confidence.

”Why so?”

”If it were before Great Xia started the country war, that would be possible. But now that India was in a country war with Great Xia, if Gupta Dynasty did that, they would incur the wrath of everyone. It would be courting death.

Durava was enlightened, and he finally revealed a smile on his face, ”So, Great Xia attacking the north is instead helping us?”

”That's right.”

”Okay, let's do just that.”

Durava was a decisive person and was willing to take a gamble.

Both Gupta Dynasty and Piao Country belonged to the Azure Badge camp. If Peacock Dynasty agreed to let them pass, Gupta Dynasty would not have a reason to not send help.

With the assistance of Gupta Dynasty, the Battle of Piao could continue. They could even use the chance to drag Gupta Dynasty down.

The plan was really wise.

Of course, apart from the Piao Country battlefield, Durava was more concerned about the battle in the north. That was because at the border where India and Tibet was connected, Peacock Dyansty did not have much troops there.

The sudden entry of the Bear Legion Corps had caught them off guard.

Bear Legion Corps marshal Li Jing was a godly presence, and right after entering, he dragged the entire north into the flames of war.

For this, the Peacock Dynasty had no choice but to move two legion corps up north as an emergency measure to fend off the Bear Legion Corps.

Furthermore, due to the need to defend against Gupta Dynasty, Peacock Dynasty did not dare to send any more reinforcements to Piao. They placed their hopes on Gupta Dynasty to help Piao.

The truth proved that the Gupta Dynasty was even more shameless than the Peacock Dynasty had thought.

...

4th month, 9th day, Gupta Dynasty, Mumbai City.

After receiving the letter that Durava was willing to make way, the Gupta Dynasty hesitated.

If it were before the country war began, Gupta Dynasty would immediately send troops to help Piao Country. However, this happened half a month later, and there were huge changes during this time.

First, there was the fall of Johor, which meant that the two battlefields were now separated. It also freed up the Great Xia Army to help out on the Piao Country battlefield and made the Battle of Piao even tougher.

Secondly, 70% of the Piao land was already lost, and they lacked strategic depth.

With the battle situation being so uncertain, if Gupta Dynasty rushed in brainlessly, it would be good if they could defend Piao, but if they could not, it would be a huge problem.

First, since they would be traveling in Peacock Dynasty land, logistical supplies would pose a huge problem.

Peacock Dynasty was not a philanthropist and would not allow Gupta Dynasty to build a resource line in their territory, much less provide grain.

As for Piao Country, they did not have the ability to provide grain for their allies.

Under such circumstances, why would Gupta Dynasty dare to send troops?

Taking a step back, even if the resource problem was solved, and the two dynasties protected Piao from Great Xia, what would happen then?

If the Peacock Dynasty did not allow the Gupta Dynasty troops to return or attacked them midway, there was nothing that the Gupta Dynasty could do.

Taking advantage and taking blows at one another was normal.

The problem was that the Peacock Dynasty had already held a press conference to announce the matter, saying they were willing to work together with the Gupta Dynasty to aid the Piao battlefield.
