Chapter 420 - 175: The Dragon Returns to the Sea, the Tiger Roars to the Sky!_3
"Although he’s a foolish brother, he still has his uses."
"I’ll let you continue to live."
He tightened the reins, and his warhorse turned around; behind him, the soldiers of Chen Country were silent, struggling. Some stopped in their tracks for the sake of their family members, while others picked up their weapons, touched the blades, and silently followed the king from Chen Country’s most glorious era.
The Regent King left, as abruptly as he had arrived.
He didn’t leverage his overwhelming momentum to directly force his brother to abdicate and recreate the history of Emperor Chen Wu’s era, when a thousand elite soldiers stormed the Imperial Palace and killed the Emperor of Liang Country. Some said he just came to show off his strength to take his son away, still just acting like the martial artist of old.
Too arrogant and impetuous, hardly befitting an overlord.
They said the Regent King had the capacity to be a king but not enough to be the sovereign ruler of the world.
He didn’t understand how critical a vast country was for hegemony.
It represented provisions, steel, supplies, elite war generals, and an endless supply of troops.
Others believed this cunning old Wolf King still had a sharp and ruthless gaze.
Chen Country had decayed like a piece of rotten flesh—it was still a giant, but was merely counting its last days. To inherit such rotten flesh would only mean to be constrained by petty officials and bickering aristocratic families, ultimately causing the knife held in one’s hand to turn against oneself. To think of reforming was simply impossible.
