Chapter 886 - 417: Suo Lun’s Poisonous Plot! Trample Turing Duo!_2
Zhi Yan, even with Suo Lun’s support, ascended to the throne, but as a queen, it was difficult for other nations to acknowledge her. Zhi Li established an exiled government in the Flame Empire, resolutely denying the legitimacy of Zhi Yan’s claim to the throne.
Dragon Temple always obstinately adhered to tradition, so Zhi Yan, being a woman on the throne, would certainly not gain the support of the Dragon Temple.
Without the protection of the Dragon Temple, the Flame Empire and the Xiliang Kingdom would undoubtedly seize the opportunity of Rage Wave Kingdom’s weakness to plunder it, and Zhi Li just happened to encourage both countries to send troops to Rage Wave Kingdom.
After a series of civil wars, Rage Wave Kingdom was surely no match for the Xiliang Kingdom and the Flame Empire and was destined to face annihilation.
At that time, Zhi Li’s opportunity would come. He could completely stage a king’s return, negotiate a ceasefire with the Flame Empire and the Xiliang Kingdom. He would salvage Rage Wave Kingdom from disaster, and of course, he would have to cede many of the kingdom’s interests, but at least Rage Wave Kingdom would be preserved, wouldn’t it?
By then, Zhi Yan’s downfall would be a foregone conclusion, and Zhi Li would be the undeniable choice for King of Nu Wave.
Of course, he would inevitably become a puppet of the Flame Empire by then, but he would still be a sovereign king!
If he followed Turing Duo’s method, assassinate the king, and then forcefully take the throne. Although satisfying, it would be like walking on the edge of a knife, a narrow escape from death.
Seeing Zhi Li’s expression, Turing Duo could almost guess what he was thinking. He really didn’t want to take that dangerous path; he wanted to flee to the Flame Empire and become a puppet there.
Immediately, Turing Duo’s heart filled with contempt for Zhi Li. At the most crucial moment, this man was still so cowardly about his own life.
"Your Highness, even if you want to flee back to the Flame Empire, there’s no hope for you now," Turing Duo said, her voice cooling.
