I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory

Chapter 74.2



The five arrogant Innates were dead in the blink of an eye!

Not a trace of their bodies remained, not a single corpse was left intact!

Come on, those were five Innates, powerhouses of the world, and they were finished just like that?

This scene…

It was even more shocking than the flood that had just swept away an army of 800,000!

Grand General Chai Yulang opened his mouth in disbelief: “This… could this be the master that His Majesty mentioned?”

“It must be, otherwise why would they be the only ones targeted?”

Grand General continued in shock, “This is too fierce! Wasn’t he said to be at the Astral Qi level? In my view, he’s at least at the Imperial Qi level, it’s terrifying!”

“Thank goodness this person is a friend, not an enemy!” Liu Eunuch wiped a bead of cold sweat from his brow.

The three of them were both alarmed and delighted.

Then, as if by an unspoken agreement, they headed for the Heavenly Lake.

“Your Majesty, the 800,000-strong army of the three nations has been destroyed by the flood, and the five Innates have been slain by a master. Our Xia Kingdom has won a great victory!”

Lin Beifan nodded in satisfaction, “I have already seen it, you have done very well!”

“Your Majesty, where is your friend?” Chai Yulang asked cautiously, his bright eyes darting around comically.

Lin Beifan replied calmly, “He finished his business and has already left.”

Chai Yulang became anxious, “Why let him leave? We should have kept him here to properly thank him!”

Lin Beifan waved his hand dismissively, “It’s done, he’s gone. For him, it was just a simple gesture, not a big deal at all!”

Everyone fell silent. To him, it might have indeed been a simple single move, but for them, it was a grace that saved their nation!

For such a powerful benefactor, it wouldn’t be too much even to worship him!

And yet, you’re so indifferent?

“Alright, let’s not talk about these matters anymore, the great battle has ended, let’s go down!”

Lin Beifan came up to Chai Yuxin’s side, naturally placing his hand on her waist.

Chai Yuxin gave Lin Beifan a glare: “Hold on tight!”

Then, she wrapped her arms around Lin Beifan and swiftly leaped down the mountain, and arrived in front of the Xia army.

“Greetings, Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!”

“To all the officers and soldiers who have fought for the country, there’s no need for such formalities!”

An Lushan reported his military achievements with a face full of joy, “Report to Your Majesty, in this battle, we have achieved a complete victory…”

Lin Beifan listened with a smile, then praised them, “All of you are meritorious officials, and there will surely be great rewards upon your return! However, the urgent matter at hand is that there are some important tasks to be done!”

“Your Majesty, please give your orders, we are ready to die without hesitation!” An Lushan and the others declared loudly.

“General Shi Siming, heed my command!”

Shi Siming stepped forward and said loudly, “Your subordinate is here, what are Your Majesty’s orders?”

“I command you to lead one hundred thousand troops along the river and capture the surviving soldiers of the Three Kingdoms. Take them to clear the wilderness and dig canals!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Shi Siming stepped back.

“General An Lushan, heed the command!”

An Lushan stepped forward: “Your Majesty, your servant is here!”

“I command you to lead 150,000 troops, invade the Shang Kingdom, conquer cities, seize territories, and plunder all that can be plundered!”

“Your servant obeys the decree!” An Lushan stepped back.

“General Chai Yuxin, heed the command!”

Chai Yuxin stepped forward: “Your Majesty!”

“I command you to lead 150,000 troops and invade the An Kingdom, to conquer and seize their lands!”

Chai Yuxin’s face beamed with joy: “Yes, Your Majesty!”

“As for the Peng Kingdom…”

Lin Beifan’s eyes sharpened: “Since it is far away, we can only settle accounts with them later! However, I believe that day will come soon!”

After the orders were issued, everyone sprang into action.

……

The result of this battle spread throughout the land at an unbelievable speed.

Everyone was shocked.

“An alliance of 800,000 troops from three kingdoms, they actually lost?”

“I heard that the Xia Kingdom released the waters of Heavenly Lake! The floodwaters poured down and directly swept away an army of 800,000! This move was brilliant but utterly ruthless!”

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s ruthless or not, one could only say that all’s fair in war! Surprisingly, the Xia Kingdom even enlisted the help of a mysterious powerhouse who managed to kill all five Innate experts from the allied forces of the three kingdoms!”

“In this battle, the Xia Kingdom won magnificently, and the three kingdoms suffered a huge loss!”

“It allowed that foolish emperor to escape disaster once again!”

Sitting on the dragon throne, the Emperor of the Shang Kingdom was filled with regret: “I knew it, I should not have sent out the troops! 300,000 soldiers gone just like that, what am I going to do in the future?”

In the previous war, he had already lost three Innates and over a hundred thousand soldiers. Now, with the loss of another 300,000 troops, his military strength was almost completely depleted.

Without an army, how could he protect the nation?

How could he protect himself?

At this moment, a general rushed in to report: “Your Majesty, General An Lushan of the Xia Kingdom has led an army of 150,000 into our territory!”

The Emperor of the Shang Kingdom was so frightened that his soul nearly flew out of his body, and he called out in panic, “What, the Xia Kingdom is attacking again? Guard the capital city at all costs; we absolutely cannot let them break through again!”

……

Upon receiving this news, the Emperor of the An Kingdom was completely stunned.

The coalition of three kingdoms, with an army of 800,000 soldiers, along with five Innate powerhouses, should have been able to conquer the Xia Kingdom, and he would have gained unimaginable benefits from it.

But who could have foreseen that the Xia Kingdom would be so cunning and deceitful, unleashing a torrential flood that swept away the great army!

They even summoned a mysterious powerhouse who annihilated all the Innate warriors!

The loss of 300,000 troops and an Innate powerhouse was an incalculable blow to him!

The nation itself would start to tremble from such a disturbance!

At that moment, a high-ranking official urgently reported.

“Your Majesty, General Chai Yuxin of the Xia Kingdom is leading an army of 150,000 troops into our territory!”

The Emperor of the An Kingdom paled with shock: “What? The Xia Kingdom has launched an attack? This is preposterous! Summon my troops at once…”

“Your Majesty, shall we meet the Xia army in battle?”

“Battle my ass, what if that mysterious strong person came? Call them all back to defend the capital city!”

……

At this time, the Emperor of the Peng Kingdom was also filled with regret.

The Xia Kingdom was far away, and there was originally no need to provoke them. But who could have known that the noble family’s offer was too tempting? In a moment of weakness, he dispatched an army of 200,000 and an Innate, yet none returned.

It was as if he had sent them on a mission to die.

……

“The Xia Kingdom is too powerful; we must not provoke them lightly in the future!”

As for the three noble families who both funded and exerted effort from behind the scenes, they are now in agony!

Not only has their massive investment gone to waste, but they have each also lost Innate manpower.

“Foolish emperor, don’t be smug; we will settle our scores slowly!”

……

The other neighboring kingdoms have all been severely deterred.

They cannot help but reassess the Xia Kingdom.

“Although the Emperor is incompetent, the Xia Kingdom is truly powerful. They have won so many battles, and now they have even annihilated the allied forces of three countries, totaling 800,000 troops, with all 5 Innate experts killed in action!”

“The Xia Kingdom has changed beyond recognition and should not be offended lightly!”

……

About a week later, Shi Siming followed the riverways and captured all the surviving soldiers of the three countries.

Of the 800,000-strong army, now only about a hundred thousand remain, all captured and taken back to reclaim wasteland and dig rivers.

Since the Shang Kingdom and An Kingdom did not resist, An Lushan and Chai Yuxin made smooth progress. They pursued their victory and basically conquered all the territories outside their capital cities.

When Lin Beifan opened the Empire Sandbox, there had been earth-shattering changes.

……

Empire Sandbox (Beginner Level)

Territorial Area: 880,000 square miles (Arable land 480,000 square miles)

Domestic Resources: 152 million taels (3 iron mines, 3 coal mines, 2 copper mines…)

Population: 5.06 million (Wealthy people 2%, Common people 41%, Poor people 57%)

Military Strength: 560,000 (3 Innate, 270 martial artists…)

Comprehensive National Power: 960 (small kingdom level)

……

Compared to the last time, the comprehensive national power has increased by 180, which can be considered a significant improvement.

The increase primarily came from the Territorial Area and Domestic Resources.

After conquering those two countries, the Territorial Area reached 880,000 square miles, nearly doubling in size.

Of that, the arable land reached 480,000 square miles, far exceeding its original national territory (which was 320,000 square miles).

“It seems that we must expand our territory; otherwise, we won’t have enough room for all these farmlands!” Lin Beifan was filled with the happy troubles of prosperity.

Domestic Resources increased by nearly 40 million, almost completely plundering the good things from those two countries.

The resources were so abundant that if they were exposed, even dynasties and empires might not be able to resist the temptation.

The population difference is not significant, but there has been some attrition in military strength.

After all, one country had to face the armies of three nations, totaling 800,000 troops, and then commanded forces to penetrate their lands, capturing cities and territories along the way. It was inevitable to suffer troop losses and casualties.

“After their triumphant return, we will recruit more soldiers and purchase horses to replenish our forces!” Lin Beifan muttered to himself.

“Ding! As the player’s national power has increased, your strength has synchronously grown. You are rewarded with a cultivation level increase to the Innate Realm Imperial Qi level!”

In an instant, a terrifying power surged through his entire body.

Lin Beifan felt his strength skyrocketing rapidly.

Like an unstoppable force, his power finally reached a new level, achieving the status of the Imperial Qi level.

In the Innate Realm, the Imperial Qi level belongs to the pinnacle of powerful experts.

It signifies that one’s True Qi is more profound, like an unfathomable vast ocean.

One can fully control True Qi at will and able to condense it into Astral Qi armor or into weapons like swords, spears, clubs, and staves, comparable to divine armaments.

Such a powerhouse would be highly valued anywhere, invincible beneath the level of a Grandmaster.
