The overall combat strength of the Westrington Army was much weaker than the New World Army after all. It was indeed very difficult to break the deadlock solely relying on himself.
The war had reached a stalemate for a few days which dampened Westrington Army's morale.
Suddenly, a general in black armor quickly walked in.
He was Donoghue's most capable subordinate, Josh Yard!
Josh cautiously asked, "Prime Minister, are we attacking today?"
Donoghue angrily answered, "What do you think? We haven't got the upper hand for days so what's the point of fighting? Just call for a truce and rest!”
Josh looked embarrassed and suggested in a low voice, "Prime Minister, I have an idea to solve this awkward situation and ensure the Westrington army won’t lose our reputation."
He could tell that Donoghue no longer wanted to fight and thought of retreating.
However, it was too shameful to retreat, and that caused Donoghue to be so upset.
"Speak up!" Donoghue took a sip of wine and coldly said.
Josh took a deep breath and slowly said," From my observation of the New World Army these days, I notice their soldiers are also physically and mentally exhausted. They obviously also don't want to continue fighting. We are also thinking of the same. Since both sides don't want to fight but refuse to admit defeat to avoid embarrassment, why don’t we send envoys to make peace with the New World Continent?"
Josh cracked a faint smile as he spoke, "We can get into a political marriage with the New World Royals. According to my knowledge, the New World Emperor has several daughters, and each of them is gorgeous. Why don't Mister Prime Minister marry one of the princesses and forge familial ties between both continents?
Once that happens, retreating the army will be a matter of course."
Naha...
Donoghue was overjoyed after hearing that, excitedly patted his thigh, and said, "Okay, it’s a good idea! Just do as you've said and immediately send an envoy!"
"Yes!"
In the New World City!
At Full Energy Hall.
The Westrington Army sent an envoy for a marriage proposal and news soon reached the palace.
The New World Emperor immediately called a hundred civil and military officials to discuss the matter when he learned of such news.
The New World Emperor was sitting on his Dragon Throne with a straight face and plainly said, "Fellow Officials, what do you think about this marriage proposal?"
There was a faint sense of helplessness in his eyes when the Emperor said that.
