Chapter 1223 Death From Afar

• Furthermore, what is even more terrifying is the potential consequences if Zhenbei directs his anger towards the island nation because of this incident. The empire's downfall would be inevitable. With this realization, the head of the Mingdao lineage trembled with fear, unable to eat or sleep. Constantly formulating plans, they hoped to present them to the Zhenbei Legion to prove their innocence. However, regardless of the Mingdao lineage's actions, the Molong Fleet paid no attention. In fact, they even reached out to the head of the Tianren lineage, offering their assistance.
• Upon hearing this news, the entire power structure of the East Bank descended into chaos. Officials from various departments hastily relocated their families, sensing a looming crisis and fleeing in panic. The once prosperous East Bank now showed signs of decay and ruin.
• The following day, the Tianren lineage publicly announced their willingness to negotiate with the Molong Fleet and come to an agreement with the Zhenbei Legion. They were prepared to relinquish ownership of the four northern islands and Hokkaido without any demands on the Molong Fleet, simply hoping for peace in the north.
