Chapter 322

Chapter 322

At this time, the countries surrounding Great Xia saw the actions of the Great He Dynasty and became restless.

After careful consideration, they realized that there were only three possible outcomes to waging war against Great Xia.

First, being defeated by Great Xia, with all royal family members and court officials killed.

Second, also being defeated by Great Xia, with royal family members and court officials captured. Although not dead, they would lose their freedom forever.

Third, still being defeated by Great Xia but live a life on the run from then on, constantly hunted by Great Xia, never having a moments peace, and not knowing when their lives will end.

None of these outcomes were acceptable to them.

But now, the Great He Dynasty had provided them with a fourth optionquickly surrender.

Although they lost supreme power, their lives were spared, and they could still enjoy luxurious lives.

Wasnt this option more appealing than the previous three?

Since they couldnt win anyway, why not just give in?

If the Great He Dynasty can surrender, why cant I?

Thus, various countries began to offer their surrender.

Lin Beifan was dumbfounded as he looked at the letters of surrender from various countries.

The heck, my troops havent even moved, and your letters of surrender are already here!

And not a single one was missing, leaving no room for maneuver and depriving him of even the chance to let off some steam.

Its too much!

Looking at the envoys from various countries, Lin Beifan was in a difficult position: This puts me in a tough spot! My troops and provisions are ready, and we were set to depart in a couple of days, but now youve all surrendered!Updated from n0velb(i)n.c(o)/m

Youre comfortable, but Im in distress! To fight or not to fight, this awkward situation the whole world is watching my troops prepare for nothing and laughing at me! Tell me, are you doing this to embarrass me on purpose?

The envoys were terrified: Your Majesty, please forgive us. It was not our intention!

Lin Beifan said, How about I send these letters of surrender back, and we have a good, clean fight?

The envoys were even more frightened: Your Majesty, that must not be done!

Alas! Lin Beifan sighed deeply.

Although he had conquered the nations without sending out troops, the lack of a real battle left him feeling unfulfilled.

He needed a bit of excitement.

So, he decided to find fault with the letters of surrender.

Huh? This surrender letter from the Great Lu Dynasty is written so poorly that it shows no sincerity at all. Its like asking for a battle!

The envoy from the Great Lu Dynasty immediately stood up, his voice trembling with fear as he said, Your Majesty, our letter of surrender is offered with the utmost sincerity!

How so? Lin Beifan inquired.

At the time, our emperor did not agree, so our court officials immediately staged a palace coup, confined the emperor, and starved him for three days and nights until he complied! He would write one character, and only then would we feed him a bite of food!! Thats how this letter of surrender comes into being!

Every character in this letter of surrender is imbued with our emperors blood and tears, as well as the earnest hopes of our court officials. It is undoubtedly the most sincere letter of surrender in history!!!

Lin Beifan nodded, I see! No wonder the characters in this letter are so crooked and shaky as if they were written in hunger! Your Great Lu truly shows sincerity. I accept it!

Thank you, Your Majesty! the envoy from the Great Lu Dynasty rejoiced.

Just then, Lin Beifan picked up another letter of surrender, expressing his disdain, This letter from the Great Tian Dynasty is all crumpled and even has an unpleasant smell! Are you presenting such a letter to me as a deliberate provocation?

Military Strength: 8.1 million (7 Grandmasters, 167 Innates, 38,600 martial artists)

Comprehensive National Power: 47,800 (Quasi-Celestial Empire level)

Significant changes have occurred in all aspects of the data.

Among them, the Territorial Area has increased by 8 million square miles, equivalent to the land area of an ordinary Empire.

Moreover, the Territorial Area has also broken through 30 million square miles, achieving the target set by Lin Beifan at the beginning of the year ahead of schedule.

Domestic Resources have increased by nearly 1.3 billion taels of silver, a sum of wealth that is highly coveted.

The Population has increased by over 100 million, reaching 360 million.

Although the population has increased significantly, Great Xia has an abundance of food, enough to sustain them.

In terms of Military Strength, 2 million ordinary soldiers have been added.

These soldiers come from the states that have surrendered and are among their elite. Lin Beifan did not want to waste talent, so he incorporated them into the Great Xia army to serve Great Xia.

There has also been a significant increase in talents such as Innates and acquired realm martial artists, all of whom have come from other countries that have surrendered.

As a result, the entire Great Xias comprehensive national power has increased by over 10,000, breaking directly through 40,000 and approaching the 50,000 mark!

This level of national power is now the first in the world!

Ding! As the players national power has grown and strength has been synchronously enhanced, you are rewarded with the Secret of the Dou Character!

The Secret of the Dou Character is one of the nine secrets of a certain great world outside, the ultimate method of combat. Its a supreme battle technique that can simulate any divine attack skill, constantly changing and endlessly powerful.

(TLN: Dou, , fight/battle)

Lin Beifan quickly absorbed it.

The Secret of the Dou Character really complements him well, as he is already proficient in various martial arts and divine techniques.

Once he organizes these martial arts and divine techniques, the power that will burst forth through the evolution of the Secret of the Dou Character will be unimaginable.

Lin Beifan is very satisfied with this reward: Expanding territory is indeed the best way to increase strength! Once this territory is fully integrated, I can continue to expand and enhance my power!

At this time, the outside world was in an uproar over the matter of the countries surrendering.

Some were surprised, others envious.

Goodness! They all surrendered, not a single one left?

The battle hasnt even started, and theyve all surrendered! These countries are more cowardly and submissive than the next!

Even though they knew they couldnt win, shouldnt they have resisted a bit? No backbone!

Great Xia has achieved its ambition of expanding its territory without exerting anything! Now, Great Xia is the worlds first in terms of territory, population, and resources, and can truly be called the number one country in the world!

Dont celebrate too soon! Whats conquered may not be easily held! If it were that easy, the other top-tier Empires would have done it long ago! The larger the territory, the harder it is to manage!

Thats true. Its easy to conquer but hard to maintain it properly. Lets see how long Great Xia can remain arrogant?
