Chapter 57: March of the Armies!

"Your Majesty, the provisions are sufficient, the soldiers and the generals are ready.

"Now, we are ready to conquer the world for Your Majesty."

Athena bowed and said.

Jerry's goal was to take down all the three states as fast as possible.

It was estimated that it would be completed in a year.

A year was actually very short. Basically, he had to crush them all the way to do it.

After all, the size of a state was larger than that of the entire United States.

Therefore, the time spent fighting was basically not as long as the time spent on the road.

Moreover, Jerry's army was all made up of first-rate warriors and above.

Even the infantry could cover 500 kilometers a day!

One had to know that a normal person could only cover five to six kilometers an hour.

But warriors were extraordinary existences. Even a third-rate warrior was several times stronger than a normal person.

A second-rate warrior was several times stronger than a third-rate warrior, and a first-rate warrior was several times stronger than a second-rate warrior!

An ordinary infantry could march around 40 to 50 kilometers a day. But the third-rate warriors were ten times better than an ordinary soldier in terms of physical strength, speed, and endurance. They could march 400 to 500 kilometers a day!

Second-rate warriors and first-rate warriors could march more than 500 kilometers a day!

Therefore, even if the combined size of the three states was larger than the three United States, it was still possible to conquer all of them within a year.

However, the Sky Dynasty needed troops to guard the borders.

Therefore, Jerry left the Spartan Heavy Infantry, the Byzantine Armored Cavalry, and the three thousand ancient Greek Phalanx Infantry behind.

He'd use the 300,000 Macedonian Phalanx troop in the war!

They were split into three groups, heading towards Luzhou, Quzhou, Hengzhou respectively.

A 100,000 army attacking a state seemed impossible.

After all, the total number of troops in a state exceeded a million, or was even close to two million.

However, one must not forget that the armies came from different dynasties and cities, and it was difficult for them to work together to defend against enemies.

Secondly, Jerry's Macedonian Phalanx troop was a 2-star army with ten mid-stage Level 2 side generals, thirty early-stage Level 2 field commanders, and 300 peak-stage Level 1 chiliarches and 3,000 Level 1 centurions!

What kind of grand lineup was this? For high-level dynasties like the Great Peace Dynasty, its strongest warrior Marquis Anyang, a peak-stage Level 1 general.

However, in Jerry's army, a chiliarch was as strong as Marquis Anyang!

This kind of army, unless they were facing a top-tier dynasty army, they had nothing to fear!

Hence, 100,000 soldiers were enough to conquer a state.

Jerry appointed Alexander, Athena, and Heracles to lead the three armies to attack the three states.

Hercules was the result of Jerry's careful consideration because Hercules was one of the most talented Greek gods in military affairs.

The one below him should be Ares, the God of War.

However, Jerry had not summoned Ares yet.

Although Ares was called the God of War, his combat strength was not as good as Hercules'.

After appointing the chief commanders, Jerry gave Hermes to Athena.

He then gave Dionysus to Alexander, and some small gods to Hercules.

Athena would fight the most important battle, so he sent Hermes to help her.

Alexander would be fine with Dionysus aiding him.

With Hercules as the leader, the small gods could play their different roles.

So even though Hercules only had a few small gods under him, his army was not much weaker than Athena's.

This was the best lineup Jerry could bring out at the moment.

But the interesting thing was that some of the Greek gods at the moment were not even as strong as the side generals in the army.

This was because they had just broken through to the early stage of Level 2, and the generals in the army were all at the middle stage of Level 2.

Of course, they could reach the middle stage of Level 2 in two months if they wanted.

And in a little over a year's time, they would reach the late stage of Level 2!

At that time, the Sky Dynasty would become a top dynasty, and it would be unrivalled.

On the Sky Dynasty's general platform, Jerry looked at the generals below, and his entire body emitted an imposing aura.

That terrifying army aura blew away the clouds in the sky.

It was an army made up entirely of warriors! How terrifying!

"Soldiers!"

Jerry shouted loudly!

"Here!"

The 300,000 Macedonian Phalanx soldiers responded.

Jerry nodded in satisfaction and took out a commander's seal!

"Alexander!"

Alexander stood up and knelt down on one knee.

"Here!"

Jerry handed the commander's seal to Alexander and said in a deep voice, "I order Alexander to lead 100 thousand troops to attack Luzhou!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Alexander respectfully took the commander's seal.

"Athena!"

Athena knelt down on one knee.

"Here!"

"I order Athena to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Quzhou!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Finally, Jerry looked at Hercules.

"Hercules, I order you to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Hengzhou!"

Hercules excitedly took the commander's seal. In his eyes, the previous battles were just child's play.

Finally, they were going to engage a big war. He was very excited.

"I will not disappoint you!"

Jerry nodded in satisfaction.

He had wanted to give his generals titles of nobility.

But then he realized that no title could be more resounding than the Athena the Goddess of Wisdom, Hercules, and Alexander the Great.

Of course, Alexander could not be called the Great anymore, because Jerry was his emperor.

And it didn't matter that he didn't give them noble titles.

Anyway, his subordinates wouldn't rebel or seek to replace him.

All the ministers in the Sky Dynasty were loyal to him since they had all been summoned from the Eternal Roster!

They would never betray him!

Hence, there was no need to give them titles.

The 300 thousand Macedonian troops left Qingzhou in three directions, heading toward Luzhou, Quzhou, and Hengzhou!

It would not be long before Jerry would get the chance to summon again!

The logistics of the army and the overall strategy were arranged by Metis.

One had to know that as the first Goddess of Wisdom, Metis' wisdom was endless.

Over the long years, her knowledge and experience had grown with time and been tested again and again.

Her military talent and strategic vision were stunningly powerful.

Therefore, it was definitely right for her to do this task.

After all, if even the Goddess of Wisdom couldn't handle these matters, who could?

Of course, Athena, Metis' daughter could also do it, but Athena naturally wouldn't fight for this position with her mother.

Athena was more passionate about going to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

To ensure her daughter's safety on the battlefield, Metis would naturally do her best.

After the armies had set off, Jerry took the time to return to Earth.

"Buzz!"

In the room, Jerry appeared out of thin air. His mother happened to be tidying up his the room, and was shocked by his sudden appearance.

"Oh, Jerry, you scared me," His mother rolled her eyes and said. Ever since he could enter the Empire Era with his physical body, she had often been startled by his sudden appearance.

Jerry smiled faintly. Only when he returned home did he temporarily forget that he was the supreme Sky Emperor of the Sky Dynasty.

After all, no matter how powerful he was, he was still the son of his parents in this family.

"Where's Father?"

Jerry asked curiously when he didn't see his father in the living room.

"What time do you think it is now?"

His mother rolled her eyes and said.

Jerry took a look and smiled bashfully since he had forgotten that the time flows on both sides were different.

Right now, it was around 5:30 in the afternoon.

His father should have just gotten off work and was on his way home.

Sure enough, not long after, his father came back with his briefcase.

Jerry's father was working in an advertising company as a supervisor.

He wasn't busy and the money was good.

Although Jerry's family was not short of money because Jerry had brought some good stuff from the Empire Era, his parents still went to work since they found staying home was boring.

"Jerry's back? How are you doing in the Empire Era?"

His father asked with a smile. There was a strange look of expectation in his eyes, but he glanced at Jerry's mother, not daring to say anything.

"It's alright. I established an empire," Jerry said with a smile. His parents didn't know that he had established an empire.

And they didn't know about the very famous Sky Dynasty.

His mother cried out in surprise. Although she didn't understand it very well, she had watched the news about the dynasty and it said it was incredible!

It was said that some large corporations and countries were recruiting these talents.

The people who could establish a dynasty were important figures!

It was said that they were offered an annual income of more than ten million dollars and positions of high-level government officials!

Of course, such people could never be short of money if they were able to establish a dynasty, right?

Therefore, they were mostly using the benefits in the Empire Era or the social status in the real world to rope in people.

"Good! Good! Looks like we should celebrate today. I'll go and cook a delicious meal for Jerry," his mother said happily before entering the kitchen.

After his mother entered the kitchen, Jerry looked at his father.

"Father, if you have something to say, just say it," Jerry said with a smile.

His father was stunned for a moment before shaking his head.

"Well, you talk like an emperor now. Looks like you're doing quite well in the Empire Era."

After pondering for a moment, his father said nervously, "I heard that the public area is now open. Do you know a place called Yuanzhou?"

Jerry was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Yuanzhou should be the place where his father had landed in the Empire Era.

When his father and mother were young, whenever they quarreled, his mother would mention the Empire Era.

His father had had a loved one in the Empire Era, which was why he had declined Jerry's mother's pursuit.

But like what had happened to most people, his father's city was destroyed in a few years.

Then, he was forced to leave the Empire Era and could never return.

Because of that, his father had been dispirited for a few years.

But in the end, Jerry's mother comforted him and helped him walk out of the painful past.

But from the looks of it, his father didn't forget his loved one!

Looking in the direction of the kitchen, Jerry did not know what to say, but he still nodded.

"I will look for it. If I find a place called Yuanzhou, I will let you know.".

His father was overjoyed. He didn't ask for much. After all, he was no longer able to enter the Empire Era.

However, if he could find out what happened to Yuanzhou after he left, or how she was doing now, that would be enough.

After staying at home for two days, Jerry returned to the Empire Era.

In the future, Jerry would spend less time on Earth. This couldn't be helped. If he didn't improve himself, he would fall back.

Everyone was cultivating hard and developing their country every day. If he wasted his time on Earth, he would fall behind.

As soon as he returned to the Empire Era, the three armies gave Jerry a big surprise!

"Forty summoning opportunities!"

Jerry looked at the summoning opportunities on the Eternal Roster and felt overjoyed. After all, no one liked the feeling of being poor.

As expected, Metis the Goddess of Wisdom immediately sent good news when she saw Jerry return.

The three armies had already entered the three states and taken down quite a number of cities!

These forty summoning opportunities were the result of their victories.

Jerry start the summoning immediately. After all, with the establishment of the empire, he needed more people.

For example, he needed more civil officials like Metis and Plato.

Originally, Hermes could be considered a civil official.

However, this guy couldn't stay put in one place and didn't want to discuss strategies in the hall.

Instead, he preferred to go out and play.

He especially liked to collect intelligence on the battlefields.

In short, Jerry was in short of civil officials.

Fortunately, he could use the native talents of the Empire Era.

At least the low-level and local officials were fine.

Jerry could select officials from the native talents.
