Looking at the Emperor's Weapon that fell to the ground, Duke Dingyuan was stunned.
At this moment, he was in quite an embarrassing situation, unsure whether to retreat or advance.
For this outing, the Cyan Emperor had specifically instructed him before leaving to meet the Great Xia Empire's ceasefire terms to the greatest extent possible, under no circumstance should a war break out again.
Bringing his troops along, although the mission was humiliating, it carried the Cyan Emperor's will, and he was in no position to oppose it.
If he just left in disgrace and the Great Xia Empire continued its attack, how would he explain to the Cyan Emperor?
Though this mission was humiliating, he knew the current Cyan Emperor was not a conservative ruler who would sell out the nation for stability, perhaps he had his own considerations.
This was also the mental pillar that Duke Dingyuan clung to as he endured humiliation all the way to the Great Xia Empire to plead for peace.
