Chapter 121: Sweeping the World (End)_1
A day later, the ruler of the Da Cang Empire announced his surrender! Instantly, the whole nation was in lamentation. Countless Da Cang citizens wept, kneeling without the strength to rise. Some staunch loyalists chose to end their own lives or spontaneously organized to head for the frontier, intending to stop the Qin army from entering the Da Cang Empire.
Of course, their resistance made not the slightest difference; they were killed by the great army led by Zhao Yun.
Two days later, the Qin army entered the imperial city of the Da Cang Empire, took over city defenses, and planted the flag representing the Qin Empire on the highest building.
Thus, another domain came under the jurisdiction of the Qin Empire.
"Congratulations, you made the right choice!"
On the imperial court, symbol of supreme royal power, Zhao Yun was signing an agreement. Suddenly, he lifted his head and declared this with a sharp gaze.
His words were true. With the current strength of the Qin Empire, they could easily conquer the Da Cang Empire. Once war was ignited, countless Da Cang citizens would die.
"You are absolutely right, General!"
The ruler of the Da Cang Empire held a pen in his right hand and the Jade Seal in his left. Hearing Zhao Yun’s words, his body trembled slightly, and a bitter smile touched his lips. He didn’t rebut. Indeed, it was because he knew they were no match for the Qin Empire that he had chosen to surrender.
If there had been any glimmer of hope for victory, he would have fought them at all costs! Even if it cost him everything, he would not have hesitated!
With that, he stamped the Jade Seal forcefully on the surrender agreement. The bright red imperial stamp marked the end of an era.
