Rask Lawri looked at the civil and military officials below and said, "Silence!"
The officials quieted down, all looking at Rask Lawri, awaiting his decision.
Rask Lawri looked at the Prime Minister, who had remained silent, and asked, "Prime Minister Korui, what is your opinion?"
Korui, who had not spoken, walked to the center, bowed respectfully to Rask Lawri, and said, "Your Majesty, we should be prepared for both eventualities."
"First, we should mobilize all the armies, generals, and lords of the entire country, purchase all items that can summon soldiers and generals, and prepare to fight."
"Second, we should send people to Zhou Yan's territory to negotiate and ask for his opinion. If this matter can be resolved at some cost, then we should avoid war."
This time, the civil and military officials were a little confused. Prime Minister Korui seemed to be neither favoring one side nor the other, but rather considering all possibilities.
"Why?" Rask Lawri wanted to hear Korui's specific explanation.
Korui explained, "I believe that Zhou Yan is unlikely to accept negotiation. If that's the case, then we can only fight to the death. Of course, I will say something very unpleasant: in this battle, our Dark Dynasty will undoubtedly be defeated."
"If the other party accepts our apology and compensation, no matter how much they demand, we must agree. Compared to losing our nation, losing some external possessions is nothing."
"I don't quite agree with Prime Minister Korui's words. We might not necessarily lose this battle. The failure of the ancient dynasties was due to their underestimation of the enemy and their lack of preparation. If we are sufficiently prepared, I don't think we will fail."
The Great General among the military officials retorted, and only he dared to offend the Prime Minister.
"I know the Great General is very confident. If it were against someone else, I would certainly agree with the Great General's words, but against Zhou Yan, I don't think we have much chance of winning..."
Prime Minister Korui still insisted on his own ideas. He had already reviewed all the information about Zhou Yan and felt that Zhou Yan's territory was truly terrifying.
Moreover, Korui revealed everything he knew about Zhou Yan to everyone.
When those cities faced attacks from Zhou Yan's territory, no matter how powerful the formations were, they could at best withstand one attack. The second attack could not be resisted at all.
The power of each attack from those defense towers reached the full strength of a Divine Realm expert. Thousands of attacks were like thousands of Divine Realm experts attacking together.
In the face of such an offensive, who on the entire Myriad Realms Lord Continent could resist?
Who could independently face the opponent's defense towers?
Without the strength of a Divine Realm, who could withstand the attack of one of their defense towers?
Furthermore, in Korui's opinion, even if a Divine Realm expert appeared, facing so many terrifying attacks from the defense towers, they could only flee.
Korui not only analyzed objectively but also presented countless videos of other cities being destroyed by Zhou Yan's territory.
Everyone fell silent after watching these videos.
Even the Great General was deeply shocked when he saw that a single fire dragon from Zhou Yan's territory had wiped out tens of millions of troops.
Hundreds of millions of troops were dealt with by just a few fire dragons.
Even if they summoned ten billion, or even a hundred billion soldiers, how could they resist Zhou Yan's endless attacks from the defense towers?
The Great General said to Rask Lawri, "Your subordinate is incompetent and indeed unable to resist."
Rask Lawri sighed lightly and said, "It is not your fault. I know that the generals of our Dark Dynasty are not afraid of death and are all loyal."
"But the enemy this time is not something we can resist, and we indeed provoked them first."
"Our Dark Dynasty has had an age-old feud with the Canglan Continent, which has continued to this day. It's hard to say whether it's for hatred or for something else."
"It can only be said that our Dark Dynasty has very bad luck, encountering an unprecedented peerless prodigy from the Canglan Continent."
"His desire to destroy us is merely due to the enmity that has persisted between the two forces for millions of years. This time, we will actively seek peace."
"If the other party does not agree, we will absolutely not run. I, Rask Lawri, the Emperor of the Dark Dynasty, will lead the entire royal family to perish with the dynasty."
After hearing Rask Lawri's words, all the civil and military officials of the Dark Dynasty stepped forward and said, "We are willing to perish with the Dark Dynasty!"
Rask Lawri was very pleased to hear that the entire hall was of one mind and asked, "Prime Minister Korui, who do you think should be sent to seek peace this time?"
Korui thought for a moment and then said, "This peace negotiation must show our sincerity."
"The status of this person cannot be too low, so as to reflect our sincerity, and this person must be resourceful and absolutely must not offend the other party."
"No matter what demands the other party makes, we should try to avoid conflict. As long as the other party is willing to agree to peace, any condition can be negotiated."
"Your humble servant is not talented, although I have some status, for the sake of the entire Dark Dynasty, I am willing to go to Zhou Yan's territory for negotiations."
As soon as he said this, Rask Lawri immediately refused, "No, Prime Minister Korui is the Prime Minister of the entire dynasty. I absolutely cannot let you take such a risk."
"Prime Minister, you absolutely cannot go. Let me go instead."
"Your Majesty, your humble servant is willing to go."
Just then, a eunuch reported, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess requests an audience."
"Della, why is she coming in now?" Rask Lawri was still thinking when he saw the Eldest Princess enter the hall without being stopped.
The Eldest Princess of the Dark Dynasty was not only peerlessly beautiful but also captivating, the most beautiful woman in the Dark Dynasty. She was graceful and elegant, with a celestial appearance that captivated countless young powerhouses.
"Greetings, Father Emperor. Please forgive Della's rashness, but Della wishes to be part of the negotiation team. For the sake of the entire Dark Dynasty, Della is willing to go for negotiations."
Princess Della's voice was ethereal and extremely beautiful. Coupled with her peerless beauty, no one could bear to blame her.
"Della, Father Emperor will find a way to resolve this matter himself. Don't worry." Della was Rask Lawri's most beloved daughter. Hearing that Della was doing this for the entire Dark Dynasty, how could he scold her?
"No, Father Emperor, I am the most suitable person for this negotiation. Because I have met Zhou Yan before and have done business with him, sending me is the best choice. No one is more suitable than me."
Princess Della revealed something that surprised everyone: Princess Della actually knew Zhou Yan.
