On the other side, Liu Haotian received hope from Lin Beifan and immediately excitedly rushed back on my journey towards the White Elephant Kingdom.
He shared this good news with the people of the White Elephant Kingdom. Fellow villagers, I have met with the Prime Minister of the Great Wu, Lord Lin. After I spoke to him, he agreed to take the risk and persuade the current emperor to send troops to rescue everyone!
The people of the White Elephant Kingdom were filled with disbelief. Is it true? Did Prime Minister Lin really agree to come to our rescue?
Youre not deceiving us, are you?
Sir, we cant joke about such things!
Liu Haotian nodded excitedly, Its absolutely true! However, this matter may affect his career, and he doesnt completely trust my words. So, he requests to see a million petitions before taking action! They instantly cheered with joy.
Thats great, the Prime Minister is willing to help!
We are finally saved! We can look forward to better days!
Where is the petition? Ill sign!
Liu Haotian immediately spread out a large piece of white cloth and said, Ive prepared the materials, but the petition has not been written yet!
Let this old man write this petition! An elderly man who appeared well-read stepped forward. He looked elderly, with slightly dim eyes and unsteady steps, but his hand holding the pen was remarkably steady. He carefully wrote down their request on the white cloth, stroke by stroke.
Although it seemed like just over a hundred words, he spent almost half an hour writing it.
After he placed the final stroke, he finally sighed in relief.Alll latest novels at novelhall.com
He wiped his back, drenched in sweat. Alright, the next step is
The old man bit his finger, letting blood flow, and pressed it onto the white cloth, leaving his red fingerprint. Seeing this, the other common people followed suit, biting their fingers and leaving their red fingerprints on the white cloth. In no time, this freshly written petition had hundreds of red fingerprints.
Next, the old man carefully rolled up the petition and handed it to Liu Haotian, filled with hope and tears. Sir, we entrust this to you!
We trust you, Liu hero! everyone said in unison. Liu Haotian took the petition with both hands, as if shouldering a heavy burden, and said solemnly, Rest assured, everyone! Once I gather a million petitions from the common people, I will deliver this document to Prime Minister Lin and ask him to send troops to rescue all of you!
Thank you very much, Hero Liu, the elderly man bowed deeply.
Liu Haotian wrapped the petition in a waterproof bag, then slung it over his back and said, Please take care, everyone. Wait for my good news! With quick steps, he carried the hopes of the people and left the village.
The people were overjoyed and cheered.
The Prime Minister is here!
Haha! This is great; we are finally saved!
Weve been waiting for this day!
The commotion in the village alerted nearby White Elephant Kingdom soldiers. They yawned as they approached. What are you all shouting about? Shouldnt you be sleeping? Tomorrow morning, you have to work!
Who are you people?
Put down your weapons immediately, or we wont be polite!
One of the Great Wu generals released a burst of energy, swiftly cutting down the officials and soldiers. He then raised his arms and shouted, People of the White Elephant Kingdom, your long-awaited Prime Minister has arrived! He is now outside the city. Lets open the city gates together and welcome the Prime Minister!
Open the city gates, welcome the Prime Minister! they chanted enthusiastically.
Following this, Liu Haotian and his group continued to roam, defeating the soldiers and rescuing the people of the White Elephant Kingdom. When they learned that Lin Beifan was just outside the city, ready to enter and rescue them, their excitement grew.
It seemed that as long as Lin Beifan was there, everything would be resolved.
They once again gathered their courage, picked up hoes, sticks, and the swords they had taken from the White Elephant soldiers, and rose in rebellion, rushing to the city gates to open them and welcome the Prime Minister.
This event spread like wildfire, sweeping across the nation from west to east, from south to north.
However, the White Elephant King and his court remained unaware of these developments. They were currently preparing for the imminent battle with the Great Wus massive army, fully armed and vigilant.
In this tense situation, the day gradually dawned.
As soon as it was light, Lin Beifan led his 100,000-strong army to the fortress gate of the White Elephant Kingdom.
Naturally, the White Elephant Kingdom would not sit idly by and assembled a force of 300,000 soldiers to prepare for the battle against the Great Wus army. Although their numbers were more than three times that of the Great Wu and they held the key fortress, they did not dare to underestimate the Great Wus forces.
The Great Wus military strength was inherently superior, and this time, they were led by the Supreme Commander of the Great Wu, Lin Beifan.
This guy was an expert in warfare, skilled in winning against the odds, defeating larger forces with smaller ones, and always emerging victorious. Many great nations had fallen to his hands. So, the pressure on the White Elephant Kingdom was enormous.
At this moment, the White Elephant King stood on the city tower, looking down at Lin Beifan with eyes blazing with fury.
