"Your Majesty! It's not good!"

Minister Takeshi Muto looked panicked and hurried into the hall.

Akihito, who was sitting in the high throne, heard the urgent shout and raised his bloodshot eyes.

"What's wrong?" Akihito asked coldly.

"Your Majesty! The sound of cannons in the city is not stopping, and the flames are shooting into the sky. The Yan army is setting fire to the city!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a vein jumped in Akihito's forehead, and his hands clenched into fists.

Although he was in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, he had vaguely heard a faint roar before, and he already had a bad premonition in his heart.

But when it was confirmed that this premonition came true, anger and resentment still burst out of his heart in an instant.

He punched the armrest and stood up suddenly, his expression already extremely ferocious.

"idiot!"

"Set my city on fire?!"

"These beasts from Yan State dare to burn my city!!"

"Kill them! Kill them!" Extreme anger made Akihito's face completely distorted, and he roared at the top of his lungs.

Takeshi Muto wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, if this trend continues, General Yamazaka and the others may not be able to hold on."

"The news came a moment ago that the outer city has been captured by Yan's army. The sound of cannons is getting louder and louder. Now Yan's army may have entered the inner city."

"Our plan to fight in the city has completely failed!"

As soon as he said this, Akihito raised his eyebrows and glared at Takeshi Muto fiercely.

"The inner city and the outer city have gathered hundreds of thousands of troops today! They will never be defeated! I don't believe that so many people from Yan Kingdom came to attack!"

Muto Yi knew that Akihito was extremely angry at this moment, and he was afraid that he was no longer clear-minded, so he immediately said:

"No, Your Majesty!"

"The Yan Kingdom has broken through our defense line, and Kyoto is in danger. The only solution now is..."

"Shut up!!"

Before Muto Takeshi finished speaking, he saw Akihito rushing down like a wild beast.

"Your Majesty, you..." Wu Tengyi's face became more and more panicked, and he started to retreat.

However, Akihito rushed in front of them, grabbed his neck, and roared at him:

"The people are not dead yet, so keep fighting them until the end!"

"Hit the people of Yan State until they can't afford it, and let them know that we Fusang people are not afraid of death at all! We will fight back no matter how hard they fight!"

"Their weapons are better, so we will use our lives to fill the gap!"

Then, Akihito pushed hard, and Muto Takeshi fell back to the ground, covering his neck with his hands and gasping for air.

And Akihito's roar continued:

"So many people have joined the army in the past few years just to go to the battlefield for me! Otherwise, why would they do it! Dying on the battlefield is the honor of every Fuso person!"

"Exchange lives with them! I just don't believe that Yan Jun can fight to the end!"

"I don't believe that if we risk everyone's lives to fight against them, they can still win!"

Muto Takeshi climbed up from the ground with a heavy breath. He looked at Akihito panting, trying to persuade Akihito to see the situation clearly. At this moment, he should leave Kyoto and escape elsewhere.

But looking at Akihito's red eyes and looking at Akihito's completely distorted face, he knew that Akihito couldn't listen to anything he said at this moment.

But even so, as a minister, he couldn't help but watch Kyoto fall and the emperor be killed, so he said tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, of course we will fight to the end. As long as there is one soldier left, we will never allow the Yan people to come to the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and we will never let them threaten your safety."

"It's just now..."

"Now you'd better leave here immediately, we can't let you be threatened."

As soon as he finished speaking, wild laughter suddenly burst out, but it came from Akihito's mouth.

Akihito spread his arms and laughed loudly.

"No! I will stay at the Kyoto Imperial Palace!"

"I want to see if the Yan people have the ability to come here and kill them!"

As he spoke, Akihito shook his arm and then roared:

"Even if they really come to kill me, I'm not afraid!!"

"Send the order! Everyone come to the battlefield for me! Go and fight the Yan people! Fight them to the death!"

"Kill them! Kill them!"

In the empty hall, Akihito's roar continued to echo, and Muto Yi sighed slightly and left dejectedly.

Almost all of Fuso's most capable soldiers and horses have been lost in the previous battles. Although the soldiers and horses currently coming to Edo are large in number, their combat power is not as good as those before.

In addition to the current soldiers and horses in Kyoto, although there are still some soldiers and horses in other places, what combat power do they have?

Even if they leave Kyoto and flee elsewhere, they will still be unable to fight back against the Yan Kingdom, let alone turn defeat into victory and completely defeat the Yan Kingdom people who will come to Fuso.

In other words, as long as Kyoto falls today, Fuso will be completely devastated!

Of course, this is already the most conservative situation. The Yan people came here with the intention of destroying the country. As long as they are still in Fusang, they will always face their pursuit.

Die first and then die, that's just the difference in time.

It seems that leaving Fuso is the only way out, but the fleet has been destroyed. Although there are still some ships in other ports, what's the use?

If you really want to leave everything behind and take a few people with you on a boat, where can you go? Before that, can they stop the pursuit of the Yan people? Even if they reach the sea, the Yan Kingdom fleet is watching eagerly. How can they escape?

When all possibilities were eliminated, Takeshi Muto finally understood Akihito's madness at the moment.

He didn't lose his mind, but he already knew that there was no way back and he could only fight to the death.

That is - broken jade.

Wu Tengyi's face turned pale and he staggered out of the hall.

Looking at the night illuminated by fire in the distance and listening to the sound of gunfire getting closer and closer, Takeshi Muto summoned the other ministers in despair and announced the last order issued by Akihito.

In the hall, Akihito was alone at the moment. He pressed his lips tightly, stared at his red eyes, and stood stiffly on the ground.

For a long time, he trembled all over, and then turned to look at the knife rest behind the high throne.

Immediately afterwards, he slowly walked there, took out a long knife, then turned and walked out of the hall, summoned the ministers, and led them towards the Zhenguo Shrine.

The shrine enshrines the kings of Fuso's past dynasties, and of course some famous ministers and generals who have made great contributions to Fuso are also here.

In the eyes of the Fuso people, this is the most sacred place, and a grand ceremony is held every year to pay homage.

Although the time has not yet come this year, Akihito knows that he must go here.
