Chapter 596: Chapter 596: Boss, Give a Chance
“Is everything you just said true?”
Upon hearing that her father could still be saved, Qian Xialan excitedly leapt up from the bed.
Yang Yu rely shook his head, “I can only say it’s very likely, but whether it can cure His Majesty’s illness, we still need to try and see. The key is to find the source of the toxins in His Majesty’s body.
Let’s start by investigating the forest where His Majesty was once attacked. What do you think?”
Summoning the Imperial Physician, Wanzhang Lion had the physician change his bandages, looking sowhat troubled,
“It’s a plan, but the forest I once visited has beco a part of the Luo Ze Empire.”
“Your Majesty, the situation is worse than you imagine. We have refrained from informing Your Majesty of the real situation due to concern for your health.”
Ming Dalak’s handso face was furrowed with worry,
“After Your Majesty fell, the Luo Ze Empire recaptured the cities that Your Majesty had taken back, and, allying with multiple army groups, they caught us off guard by taking several major cities in succession, constructing robust defenses…
Regrettable as it is, Your Majesty, your illness may need to be put aside for a while.
Right now, we should be focusing on integrating the Elf Clan that has agreed to fight alongside us and preparing for the winter offensive to retake the Sailuon Plain, then fortify our defenses before spring arrives.
This ti we have enough confidence to prevent the humans from taking back the Sailuon Plain.”
Wanzhang Lion was aware of the importance of the Sailuon Plain. Once the Luo Ze Empire captured it, the Sailuon Plain beca the empire’s granary, providing an unending supply for their offensive.
Taking back the Sailuon Plain would not only solidify our own strength but also cut off the Luo Ze Empire’s extra supplies, thus weakening their offensive.
This was a consensus among all high-level officials of Wansheng Country, and Wanzhang Lion was no exception.
“The winter offensive must not stop, let’s do as you suggest.”
“Father…” Qian Xialan’s eyes were filled with concern. She had just seen hope for saving her father, but because of the war, their country had lost a great deal of territory to Luoze.
Qian Xialan very much wanted to prioritize saving her father, but if they didn’t consider the bigger picture, all that awaited their country was a dark future.
At this mont, only she knew the turmoil within her heart.
Raising his substantial palm, Wanzhang Lion patted Qian Xialan’s head,
“Before, you concealed the state of the war from , which I understand. Now, my illness has improved sowhat, but as Potato says, my body isn’t suited to vigorous activity or to engage in battle.
However, I should still be capable of making decisions.
I will consider the current situation to make decisions, trying to turn things around…”
Speaking, Wanzhang Lion looked towards Ming Dalak. The elf who had lived almost a thousand years also didn’t have any good solutions; frankly, Wanzhang Lion had no certainty in his heart.
Wanzhang Lion was most proud of his command abilities, but his current health did not permit him to battle anymore.
“Ming Dalak, as the Pri Minister of a kingdom, I trust you can assist the future King of this country well. If necessary, you can even consider a combatant. I will spare no effort, even my old life, to go into battle once more.
Do not worry too much about and miss the best opportunities.”
Ming Dalak’s face was stern, and after a while, he nodded firmly.
Only after showing a reassuring smile did Wanzhang Lion turn his gaze to Yang Yu,
“Potato, thank you for everything you’ve done. You’re not just trying to save my life—tell , what is your request?”
Finally, it was his turn. Yang Yu had already beco a little impatient waiting.
“Your Majesty, I’ll get straight to the point,” Yang Yu began. “I have so clue about how to heal the Woodification Disease that plagues .
It’s just that the thing I need to cure it is incredibly difficult to obtain, which is why I wish to rely on the might of the Wansheng Country’s Royal Family to get what I want.”
“What exactly is it that you want?” Wanzhang Lion fixed his gaze on Yang Yu.
“Racial Essence.”
Yang Yu calmly stated these two words,
“During my travels with my companions, I was fortunate enough to co into contact with the Racial Essence of the Silver Teeth Clan, from which I gained so of the Silver Teeth’s Strength, and, for reasons unknown, my Woodification Disease saw so relief.
Thus, I was wondering, if I could obtain more Racial Essence, allowing its effects to work on , could my disease be completely cured?
His Majesty the King must also understand the weight these words carry.
Racial Essences, being the Secret Treasure of each race, are rarely shared with others.
The chances of personally requesting and obtaining it are slim to none, but it would be different for His Majesty the King.”
Contrary to Yang Yu’s smile, Wanzhang Lion wore a face of majesty,
“I understand your aning. However, even for , requesting Racial Essence from another race for your sake is not sothing that would easily be granted.”
“Your Majesty, of course, I am aware of this. In truth, I do not know how much Racial Essence will be required to completely heal the disease that afflicts .
If possible, I would like to use various Racial Essences and continue to do so until my ailnt is cured.
Right now, my accomplishnts are not sufficient to shalessly ask for a large amount of Racial Essence.
Hence, I have a proposal.
I am very eager to contribute to this nation that has provided peace for the Sub-human Race. I hope Your Majesty would grant a stage to prove myself.
If I can achieve sothing that Your Majesty acknowledges, I would trouble you to provide with so Racial Essence to assist in my Healing.
Moreover, here, I am the only one who has seen creatures with strange toxins. If I can achieve certain accomplishnts, perhaps, one day, without my searching, those who have attacked Your Majesty might seek out themselves.
At that ti, if we can capture him and trace back to the source of the toxin, then acquire the materials for dicine in the desert regions, we could save Your Majesty’s life.”
“Ha ha ha ha!”
Wanzhang Lion couldn’t help but burst into laughter, then quickly regained his composure and spoke seriously,
“You truly have confidence, and having confidence is a good thing.
But war is not play; the battlefield is even more brutal than you can imagine, and it’s not possible to win just by being impassioned.
You are still young; it’s not your ti to take such risks.
To repay your kindness, I will find a way to get you the Racial Essence you need.”
“When, then, does Your Majesty think it is my ti to take a risk?
With all due respect, if we follow this trend, by the ti Your Majesty feels I can contribute to the nation, this nation may well no longer exist.
Even if it manages to survive, it will surely be riddled with countless traumas.”
Yang Yu spoke with conviction, as if he had already seen such a future,
“It is understandable that Your Majesty does not trust my strength, for if I were in your position, I would find it difficult to trust soone I had only t for less than a day.
However, I am willing to start as the lowest-ranking officer. I hope Your Majesty could grant the opportunity to demonstrate my capabilities.”
