The people of the Turuos Empire were unaware of the events unfolding in the Macedonian Empire.
Thus, they were anxiously awaiting the arrival of their large army.
This wait lasted for three days, yet their army had not returned, nor had any news reached them.
This made the people of the Turuos Empire restless.
"What is going on? Why hasn't our army returned?"
"Exactly! The Great Qin's army is about to attack. If our army doesn't return soon, we're all finished!"
"What's wrong with our army? Are they going to falter at this critical moment? This is a matter of life and death for our Turuos Empire!"
For the people of the Turuos Empire, it was indeed a matter of life and death.
At such a time, they were exceptionally nervous, and everyone was on edge.
Because they knew that if things went wrong, their Turuos Empire might be doomed forever.
This was absolutely not a result they were willing to accept.
Especially since the Turuos Empire had already conquered the Macedonian Empire, and their empire was on the verge of becoming powerful.
To be annihilated under such circumstances was a fate they would never accept.
Therefore, they were all anxiously awaiting news of their army.
They couldn't even control themselves, dispatching over a thousand soldiers to carry messages.
One could imagine how desperate they were.
They waited until another half day passed, and the news they had longed for finally arrived.
However, while the news had arrived, it plunged every single one of them into utter despair.
According to the news from their army, their army would not be able to return.
When the people of the Turuos Empire learned of this news, they were all driven to the brink of madness.
"What's going on? Why can't they return?"
"Yes! Why didn't anything happen earlier or later, but now they can't return? Could it be that our soldiers are planning a rebellion?"
"This is going to be the death of us! If our army can't return, what will we use to resist the Great Qin's army!"
Many ministers did not understand the specific situation. All they knew was that their soldiers could not return.
With their thirty thousand strong army unable to return, it meant that their less than ten thousand strong army here would have to face Great Qin's thirty thousand strong army.
This was an impossible task for every one of them, and a reality they were unwilling to accept.
Because of this, countless speculations arose in their hearts.
However, at this moment, their Great Emperor spoke.
"It's not that our soldiers want to rebel, but that we have fallen into Great Qin's trap!"
"From the very beginning, Great Qin has been plotting against us!"
"What? We've fallen into a trap? How is that possible?"
After all, when their Turuos Empire attacked the Macedonian Empire, it had gone smoothly. They had even taken control of the Macedonian Empire with minimal losses.
For this reason, they had even mocked Lin Tian's army at the time.
In their eyes, Lin Tian's army was merely working for them.
Such an army was composed of brave but thoughtless individuals, and they hadn't taken them too seriously.
How then had they, at this point, fallen for Great Qin's trick?
Many couldn't comprehend it, but their Great Emperor understood it all too well.
"From the very beginning, the Macedonian Empire was a bait thrown out by Great Qin!"
"What they wanted was for us to dispatch our army and occupy the Macedonian Empire!"
"Then, they would take advantage of our Turuos Empire's internal emptiness and send their army to attack us!"
"Simultaneously, another of their armies would intercept our thirty thousand strong army, preventing them from returning, leaving our Turuos Empire without troops!"
"This way, they could easily conquer our Turuos Empire!"
"Their scheme is deep, and their ruthlessness is beyond imagination!"
At this moment, the Great Emperor of the Turuos Empire took a deep breath.
He had always been extremely cautious and vigilant.
This caution and vigilance meant he rarely suffered losses, and others couldn't easily take advantage of him.
Yet now, he had been severely outmaneuvered, and their entire country was at risk of being lost.
This was an immense shock and a profound humiliation for the Great Emperor of the Turuos Empire.
In his heart, he refused to accept this turn of events.
At the same time, he was filled with immense rage.
If he could, he would have torn Lin Tian to shreds.
Of course, now was not the time to vent his impotent rage. What they needed to do was to find a way to overcome this crisis.
Upon hearing the words of the Great Emperor of the Turuos Empire, everyone else instantly understood the whole story.
As they understood, they couldn't help but gasp in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, you mean our army has been intercepted by those from Great Qin, and this was all his plan?"
"This... this can't be true. How could he have known we would definitely attack the Macedonian Empire?"
"He... he's too terrifying! He can calculate all of this?"
Before, they had only felt that Lin Tian's combat power was terrifying.
But now, they clearly realized that Lin Tian's terror was not just in his combat strength, but also in his command, which was incredibly formidable.
It could even be described as thinking three steps ahead for every one step taken.
It was precisely this terror that had pushed their Turuos Empire to the brink of this precipice.
As this explanation was given, many in the Turuos Empire fell silent.
They felt that Lin Tian couldn't possibly achieve this, yet paradoxically, their Turuos Empire had been pushed to this desperate situation by Lin Tian.
Therefore, they had no choice but to confront this reality.
"Your Majesty, now... our army cannot return. What should we do?"
"Yes! That's a force of thirty thousand! How do we cope?"
Thirty thousand soldiers, and from Great Qin no less, this posed a monumental pressure on the Turuos Empire.
The armies of Great Qin were incredibly powerful in combat. Even with thirty thousand soldiers, they lacked absolute confidence in their ability to resist.
Moreover, they didn't even have thirty thousand soldiers at their disposal.
Therefore, they all looked to their陛下, awaiting his decision on how to deal with Great Qin's thirty thousand strong army.
At this moment, their Great Emperor hesitated for a long time, then made a bold decision.
"We cannot remain in the capital. All of us will evacuate the capital and lead our army to rendezvous with the thirty thousand strong force!"
