"Who, who is speaking?"
It was one thing for one person to resist him, but now, with another person resisting him, King Zhao was extremely furious.
Hearing someone agree with him, he instantly flew into a rage.
A tremendous roar echoed throughout the entire small palace.
However, the newcomer seemed oblivious to his anger and calmly spoke again.
"It's me!"
Hearing the voice again, King Zhao immediately identified its direction. When he clearly saw who had arrived, he froze.
Then, he began to tremble.
He didn't recognize the person, but he recognized the military armor and the flags they carried.
These were not the flags or armor of Zhao.
These people who had appeared were Qin people.
And although his small palace was called a small palace, it was actually located deep within the royal palace.
Under normal circumstances, only Zhao soldiers should have appeared in this place, not Qin soldiers.
But now, Qin soldiers were standing before him.
This was absolutely devastating news for him.
"You, you...!"
"What, do you think I'm right?"
Lin Tian's face was filled with a smile, clearly a very happy one.
King Zhao was within his grasp, Zhao had been conquered, and his dream of unifying the world was one step closer.
This was good news for both Lin Tian and Great Qin.
Even Wang Wu and others beside Lin Tian showed smiles.
With King Zhao present, their efforts had not been in vain.
Lin Tian spoke again, allowing more people to see him.
The moment they clearly saw Lin Tian's appearance, many showed fear.
They had already recognized who Lin Tian was.
"Lin, Lin Tian, he is Qin's Lin Tian!"
"It's over, we're finished. The Qin Sword God Lin Tian has broken in, we're finished!"
"We were too slow after all, we're too slow, we can't escape!"
Many soldiers knew that with Lin Tian here, they wouldn't be able to leave.
Therefore, their hearts were filled with despair.
Their desperate cries also made those who didn't know Lin Tian understand who had charged into their midst.
Qin, the Sword God.
The words "Sword God" were enough to plunge them all into despair.
Lin Tian's achievements had already spread to the ears of every one of them.
Now that Lin Tian was before them, each of them bore immense pressure.
Lin Tian, however, paid them no mind.
He simply smiled and said to King Zhao:
"King Zhao, come with us. Your Zhao kingdom has already perished!"
Lin Tian's words struck everyone's hearts like a bolt from the blue.
Although Lin Tian's arrival meant that Zhao had already fallen, hearing such words from Lin Tian's mouth still deeply shocked them.
To the extent that some instinctively retorted when Lin Tian spoke:
"No, our Zhao kingdom has not perished, our Zhao kingdom still exists!"
"Brothers, kill! Kill him and escort the King out of the city!"
As long as King Zhao was here, Zhao would still exist.
Even though this King Zhao seemed like a foolish ruler, he was their only hope.
Many people, at this moment, picked up their weapons and instinctively prepared to fight to the death.
Seeing these people like this, Lin Tian's expression turned cold.
"Kill all who do not lay down their weapons!"
"Yes!"
In the next moment, Wang Wu and the others charged out, unleashing a frenzied slaughter upon the soldiers.
In just a few breaths, a large number of Zhao soldiers fell, their deaths gruesome.
This also stunned King Zhao before the other Zhao people could even speak of surrender.
So, before the other soldiers could even think of surrendering, he shouted at Lin Tian:
"Stop killing, stop killing! I surrender, I am willing to surrender!"
"I, on behalf of our Zhao kingdom, am willing to surrender to Qin. Please grant us a way to live!"
"Your Majesty!"
King Zhao's words shocked all the people of Zhao.
They had initially thought they could fight one more time, never expecting that their King Zhao would be the first to surrender.
This was undeniably devastating news for the Zhao soldiers.
They cried out in despair, hoping King Zhao could hold on a little longer!
However, King Zhao completely ignored them.
After uttering the word "surrender," he directly ran to Lin Tian and adopted a posture of surrender.
Relatively speaking, King Zhao wanted to preserve his own life more.
Seeing his demeanor, Lin Tian smiled.
"You are truly unworthy of being a king in this state!"
At this moment, Lin Tian pointed at King Zhao's nose and scolded him, but King Zhao no longer offered any rebuttal.
His face was filled with flattery.
"Yes, yes, you are right. Only a powerful king like the King of Qin can be called a true king!"
Such fawning utterly extinguished the hope of the Zhao generals and soldiers.
With King Zhao surrendering, what was the point of further resistance?
In anger, the Zhao soldiers could only drop their weapons.
Their surrender also marked the formal demise of the Zhao kingdom.
Wang Wu and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
King Zhao's surrender meant that they had truly conquered Zhao, they had won.
"Brother Tian, you have once again achieved such great merit. You will surely be promoted and enfeoffed!"
"Enfeoffment is fine, I don't care for it!"
"However, I think you have the chance to be enfeoffed!"
Lin Tian was destined to become the King of Great Qin, so he wasn't particularly interested in matters of promotion and enfeoffment.
However, he was very interested in others being promoted and enfeoffed.
Especially for talented individuals, he greatly admired them.
"Go find out where Li Mu of Zhao is and bring him to me!"
"Also, inform General Wang Jian to seal off the entire city of Handan. Make sure to capture all members of the Zhao royal family, leaving no one to escape."
"Otherwise, it's possible that some members of the Zhao royal family might escape and allow Zhao to rise from its ashes!"
"Yes!"
Historically, Prince Jia of Zhao had escaped during the chaos and then declared himself king in Zhao, allowing the Zhao kingdom to continue for some time.
Lin Tian naturally could not allow such a thing to happen again.
Hearing Lin Tian's orders, Wang Wu and the others immediately sprang into action.
Soon, the members of the Zhao royal family were gathered.
Since they had surrendered, their wealth naturally no longer belonged to them.
Lin Tian showed no mercy to these people, so those who were to be confiscated had nothing spared.
Because of this, Lin Tian also acquired a large amount of wealth.
