Chapter 1124: Chapter 454: A Plan to Save Xu_3

At that time, Emperor Xu was full of confidence.

He believed that with thirty-six Inborn warriors and an army of five million, Xu State could hold its own against Chu State, if not defeat it, at least in terms of defense and self-preservation.

Then, reality dealt him a harsh blow.

First, the rapid collapse of Liang, followed by the critical breakdown of Qingzhou's defense line without the key support of Liang.

Too many unpredictable changes forced Xu State to grit its teeth and engage in a head-on confrontation with Chu State on the battlefield.

The outcome was clear to see.

As it turned out, the so-called rise of Xu State was nothing more than an illusion.

Up against the absolute national power of Chu State, Xu State was on the brink of collapse after just six months.

By this time, even Leling was in grave danger, teetering like a stack of eggs, at any moment susceptible to being conquered by Chu people.

This fall from the summit to the valley took less than a year.
