In the dead of night, Bai Yujing rushed swiftly, leaping over the city wall and into the capital of the Blavisk Empire. At this moment, it was late at night, and Bai Yujing's leap caused the entire capital of the Blavisk Empire to tremble as if an earthquake had struck.
Several people rushed in, taking advantage of the darkness to replicate their previous actions, quickly surrounding the palace. Kaka and Lick led their troops inside, and a chorus of shouts erupted within the palace.
Inside the palace, the Emperor of the Blavisk Empire woke up with a start. The Empress beside him also sensed something was wrong. "Your Majesty, what is it? Why do I feel like there was an earthquake?"
The Emperor sat up in bed and shouted, "Come here!"
Immediately, a guard rushed in and knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"Go check what is happening immediately..."
Before the Emperor could finish his sentence, he heard chaos outside. He rushed to the window and looked out into the darkness. By the light of the moon, he saw a pair of eyes as large as grinding wheels staring back at him; even just the pupils were larger than the window.
Being watched by such a colossal creature terrified the Emperor, causing him to shout in panic, "What is going on? What kind of monster is this?"
Bai Yujing was originally just wandering around the palace, admiring its exquisite design. It was quite interesting, filled with artistic flair, intricately carved, with gardens and distinctive architecture complementing each other. The palace featured fountains and flowing water; compared to the palace of Lilliput, it was much more grand. This Emperor of the Blavisk Empire certainly knew how to enjoy life.
However, at that moment, Bai Yujing suddenly noticed a light turn on in a room ahead. A middle-aged man with a big beard and an imposing presence stood on the balcony. Bai Yujing immediately bent down to take a closer look.
Unexpectedly, this action nearly scared the little man into submission; he collapsed to the ground, unable to stand up, shouting in panic.
Bai Yujing grabbed this fellow by his clothes and lifted him up, examining him closely. Sensing that this person's identity was likely significant, he called out to Rod Pus, who was directing operations. Rod Pus immediately ran out.
"What are your orders?"
Bai Yujing placed the fainted little person down and said, "We just captured someone who seems to live deep inside the palace. Take a look and see if he is an important figure!"
"Bring a torch!" Rod Pus shouted. Immediately, a soldier handed him a torch. At that moment, the entire palace was in chaos, and the surrounding guard troops rushed over. However, the path was blocked by wooden planks set up by the giant, preventing the little people from entering.
Rod Pus shone the torch around. Being familiar with the upper echelons of the Blavisk Empire due to frequent dealings, he quickly recognized that this was the Emperor of the Blavisk Empire.
"This is the Emperor of the Blavisk Empire; we have captured their emperor!"
Rod Pus was overjoyed, not expecting to capture the opposing emperor so easily. With this, their objective was already achieved. With the help of the giant's strength, the entire Blavisk Empire was finished. Coupled with his encirclement of their palace, they had effectively taken them all down.
Rod Pus ordered several soldiers to carry the emperor and head into the palace. "Your emperor has been captured; hurry up and surrender!"
"The Emperor of the Blavisk Empire has been captured!"
"Lilliput has invaded the palace with the power of the gods!"
The capital of the Blavisk Empire was brightly lit throughout the night, but this war of annihilation felt very farcical; it had barely begun before it ended. With the surrender of the palace guards, Kaka and Lick captured all members of the Blavisk royal family. Faced with no other choice, the entire guard corps of the Blavisk Empire laid down their weapons and surrendered.
The night was chaotic until the next day when the coalition forces from Lilliput arrived after a night march along small paths to take over the defenses of the entire capital of the Blavisk Empire.
Bai Yujing's night raid plan succeeded once again. Although it was within expectations, Bai Yujing still hoped for some dramatic scenes or moments; however, none appeared.
Kuro City is garrisoned by nearly sixty thousand troops. Initially, the army was ambitious, hoping to take advantage of a great victory to defeat the entire Lilliput and swallow this decaying and old kingdom, unifying the entire continent.
However, they did not expect that this morning news suddenly arrived that the imperial capital had been occupied by the Lilliput people. The Lilliput utilized the power of the gods to summon giants, capturing the imperial capital and taking the emperor prisoner.
With the emperor lost and the imperial capital occupied, the Blaviskov army stranded outside fell into chaos. Everyone was uncertain about their next steps—should they return to rescue the emperor or submit to Lilliput?
The leader of the army, General Klos, was a pro-war faction member and an unwavering loyalist to the emperor. He demanded that the troops immediately return to rescue the imperial emperor. However, due to the emperor's talismans and the fall of the imperial capital, drastic changes in the situation led many generals in the army to have different thoughts, no longer united with General Klos.
Before General Klos could gather his forces to march back to the imperial capital and rescue the emperor, several rebellious generals under him conspired against him, beheading him and presenting his head to Rod Pus.
The army remained stationed at Kuro City, waiting for news from Lilliput. Would it be war or peace? No one knew. After all, the power of giants was unmatched, and those generals commanding tens of thousands of troops were aware of how Lemuel Gulliver had defeated them three hundred years ago. At that time, a single giant's battle had left all of Blaviskov gasping for breath for over a hundred years.
Alice was startled by the bloody head and turned away. Kaka, representing her will, asked Rod Pus: “We should accept their surrender, but how should we accept their surrender? We cannot agree to all their conditions. Duke Pus, please share your thoughts!”
Amidst the clamor, with the fall of Blaviskov's imperial capital and the army's surrender, the entire Blavisk Empire saw a shift in power as it fell under Lilliput. In this instance, the nobles of Lilliput profited greatly, and many soldiers and knights became true nobles overnight.
The Lilliput Kingdom was renamed as the Lilliput Empire. After sweeping through some smaller city-states and nobles, it finally unified the entire continent. Within just a few days, control of the continent shifted back into the hands of the Lotus Family, whose master was a young girl named Alice Lutus.
Although listening to how Lilliput's bards proclaimed this as a great epic event filled with grandeur, Bai Yujing felt completely unmotivated because the victory came too easily, lacking any sense of achievement.
It felt entirely like a situation where before I even made a move, you had already fallen. Losing interest in Lilliput, Bai Yujing decided to quickly gather supplies and set off this morning for the Island of Life.
