Chapter 1348 – Silver Hand Losing Shine
”What did you say?” William asked.
Annie took a look at William and carefully said, ”We should admit defeat to Ouyang Shuo.”
”….”
William fell silent; he found this hard to accept.
”If we admit defeat now, we still have the ability to negotiate. Once the enemy takes down Avic Fort, we will have nothing.” Although Annie could not bear to, she had to make things clear.
”We have heard that Great Xia treats Lords that surrender really well. Even a sworn enemy like Xiong Ba became the Xijiang Governor-General. Brother, you are no worse than them.”
”We have no choice!” William took a deep breath and said, ”I admit defeat! For the House of Tudor and the family, perhaps this is the best outcome, and no one should be afraid.”
”Brother, you have to hold on.” Annie was a little worried.
The House of Tudor's defeat sucked away all of William's energy; he had completely lost his fighting spirit.
William waved his hand, unwilling to talk about it anymore.
When Annie saw that, she could only take her leave.
...
Gaia 10th year, 4th month, for the European continent, this was a tumultuous time.
First, Great Xia suddenly invaded the House of Tudor. Subsequently, it was revealed that the Gaule Dynasty had submitted to the Ottoman Dynasty. At the same time, they seized the Spain army and the House of Tudor army, stunning everyone.
4th month, 7th day, news of the House of Tudor surrendering to Great Xia spread.
Shocking news came out one after another. In the blink of an eye, the flames of war raged in Europe. They welcomed a huge reshuffling and a brand new landscape.
Not only that, but in the 4th month, 10th day, the Gaule Dynasty that had just merged with the Ottoman Dynasty immediately launched an attack on the invading Romanov Dynasty. They wanted to reclaim their lost land.
The Romanov Dynasty was famous for their ferocity, so how could they give up the meat that was already in their mouths?
Of course, Pushkin was not a rash. He tried to negotiate with the Ottoman Dynasty to use the current battlefront as the territory line to coexist peacefully.
However, how could Ottoman King Manstein be willing to accept that?
One must know that the Romanov Dynasty had invaded the most fertile land in Ottoman Dynasty territory.
Hence, Manstein demanded the Romanov Dynasty to return all the land. Without that, peace talks could not begin. Such demanding conditions were unacceptable to Pushkin.
First, Pushkin could not bear to. More importantly, if the Romanov Dynasty backed out to the border, the Ottoman Dynasty would attack them after resting up given their current strength,.
Pushkin treated St Petersburg's strategic safety with greater importance than anything else.
Between the two dynasties, an unsolvable conflict of interest existed. Since they could not come an agreement, they could only solve things through war.
Meanwhile, the Caesar Dynasty was on the side. They witnessed Gaule Dynasty's surrender and the House of Tudor's destruction. Along with the Spain Dynasty that was already destroyed, Silver Hand's power in Europe waned.
Along with the destruction of the two dynasties, Silver Hand's strength in Europe was hit. If one considered the Persian Empire that was in danger, Silver Hand went from their peak of ten to four.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Caesar withdrew his troops from the frontlines and placed them at the border.
Looking at the current scene, Caesar was not prepared to fight and was ready to sit on the fence and be a bystander. He would bet on whichever side won.
As for the Gaule Dynasty matter, Caesar did not feel any pressure.
Seeing Caesar act like that, unwilling to help the Romanov Dynasty take up some of the pressure, Pushkin was immediately furious. He openly scolded Caesar for being cowardly and selfish, abandoning the organization.
Was Caesar so easy to bully? He immediately returned the favor.
The war of words between the two slowly left the inner circle and appeared on the outside, becoming a massive farce.
In truth, Silver Hand's power in Europe was already falling apart and unable to form a combined strength. It truly pained Jack's heart, but there was nothing that he could do.
Jack had his own problems to deal with.
After merging with the Gaule Dynasty, the Ottoman Dynasty started to gather up the territories of the few dynasties in Africa. They chased away the Caesar Dynasty army and placed the entirety of West Africa under Ottoman Dynasty rule.
With that, the Ottoman Dynasty could work with the Bantu Dynasty in the south to pincer the Dawson Dynasty's Central Africa territory.
Looking at the situation, Azure Badge was planning to chase the Dawson Dynasty out of Africa.
After stabilizing the European situation, Azure Badge's ambitions swelled. They were unsatisfied with just one base in Europe and wanted new land in Africa.
If Central Africa was truly taken down by them, they would have the ability to go up against Great Xia in Africa.
This was something that Ouyang Shuo was unwilling to see.
With that, the Africa continent that had just calmed down would become a new battle between the three powers. This battle was not restricted to war on the surface. In fact, it was mostly fought in the dark.
The flames of war in Africa would be hard to stop for a while.
