And once the Yuan Lu Country was established, it was accepted by everyone. For those who have been living in the battlefield for a long time, there is finally someone willing to protect their most basic life. How could they not raise their hands to welcome them? It had been a long time since such a rule had appeared in this war-torn land.

Thus, in just a few short years, this chaotic battlefield had surprisingly quickly unified itself.

However, that time, under Fang Chen's gradual release of power, a young general appeared out of nowhere. In the end, after three years of war and chaos, he made the foreign enemies retreat dejectedly, and finally, Fang Chen completely handed over the Commander Seal to him. This person was the son of Fang Chen, Fang Lin Tao.

Initially, the countries that had attacked the Yuan Lu Country already had the countries of Yuan Lu and Mang Xue Country, but they weren't considered large initially, but after seeing that they wouldn't be able to take them down within a short period of time, they increased their manpower and eventually became a great war for tens of thousands of people. In their minds, this kind of small country wasn't something that could be captured easily, so after greed, they waged a war and wanted to plunder Yuan Lu Country.

However, this war made them understand how valiant the Yuan Lu Country was. Previously, in the chaotic battlefield, they had cultivated a valiant masses. A talented commander led them and brought about combat prowess that terrified the surrounding countries.

At that time, the number of regular soldiers in the Yuan Lu Country was less than a million, and the standard weapons were still far behind. However, at the start of the war, the ordinary citizens were all in one go. How could these citizens, who had finally made a living, allow other countries to do as they pleased?

Although their weapons were lagging behind and they had not gone through years of training, their combat prowess in the chaotic battlefield that was once filled with blood was not the least bit inferior to those of the veterans.

Under Fang Lintao's lead, step by step, they removed all the enemies that had come to attack them, bringing about the glory of their country.

From then on, Fang Lintao's path of leadership had spread throughout the entire seventeen empires. There were even some who compiled books about his extraordinary battles and carefully analyzed them, to the amazement of many people at Fang Lintao's talent as a general.

The invading countries were shocked again and again. Eventually, they had no choice but to retreat. Even though they no longer plundered the benefits but sent tens of thousands of people to protect their dignity, they still couldn't take Yuan Lu. From then on, they knew that the Yuan Lu Country was already the eighteenth nation to the east of the Profound Dragon Continent and couldn't be changed.

After that war, the impression that the Yuan Lu Country gave was no longer that desolate and barren land. Since the road of business had been opened and Wan Yi had almost reached the benevolent state, the number of immigrants had increased over the course of only a dozen years. The scale was no less than that of the surrounding countries.

More than ten years ago, there was no war, but four years ago, war broke out. At first, everyone thought it was because the surrounding countries were not willing to watch the Yuan Lu country achieve greatness, and had secretly joined forces. However, when Fang Chen last saw the two warriors of the sixth step who did not belong to the four nations, then thought back to the sudden disappearance of Fang Lin Tao, who had surpassed the strength of the sixth step, he understood clearly that this battle was no longer limited to the Yuan Lu Country and the four surrounding countries.

"Retreat the line of defense, retreat the troops from all sides to the east of the Jinhe River, the South's soldiers must let the people retreat first." Wan Yi weakly spat out an order, passing down the order.

The Jinhe River was almost a winding river in the central boundary of the Yuan Lu Country, intersecting the north and south. The distance from here to the capital was only ten thousand kilometers. This was basically giving way half of the land of the Yuan Lu Kingdom.

"Your majesty, think twice. You're giving half of the land of the Yuan Lu Kingdom to us."

"Your majesty, although the marshal is dead, there are still generals in my Yuan Lu Country. How can we subdue half of our land?"

"The Emperor must not be discouraged. Although Marshal Fang Chen is already in the ancient times, the final battle of the Marshal severely injured the enemies of the Northern Tribes." The Emperor must not be discouraged, even though Marshal Fang Chen is already in the ancient times, but the final battle of the Marshal seriously injured the enemies of the Northern Tribes.

"…"

After Wan Yi had spoken his order, many of the other ministers came up with their own opinions. Some of them even recommended their trusted aides to compete against the other countries in power. The military general remained silent. This war had continued to this day, and the experienced generals all understood that Fang Chen's final heavy injury to the Kingdom of Mang Xue had merely given the Yuan Lu Kingdom more time to rest. If this battle was won, none of the generals present had any confidence. They had been fighting head on against the two countries to begin with. Now that the treasury was empty, the food at the back could no longer be used to support them. Right now, even if they were to fight, it would be useless to delay the enemies' attacks. If they were to win this war, it would be too difficult.

Wan Yi had asked all the soldiers to retreat to Jinhe City, and at the moment, this was already the best decision. Since they couldn't win, they might as well save their fighting strength for the time being. It allowed the exhausted divisions, who had been on the battlefield for years, to relax and have enough time to store the supplies in the rear.

After all, the enemies weren't a single country. With such a large area of retreat, there was no doubt that it would cause the short alliance, which was already weak, to collapse, to fall into disarray in the face of the mutual struggle between the Dense Fog Kingdom and the Brightshore Kingdom over the territory that originally belonged to the Yuan Lu Kingdom. Needless to say, the Great De and the Brahma Kingdom were eyeing them covetously. They would never let the Light Snow and the Wilderness get their hands on the benefits. He would definitely get in the way.

If the four kingdoms engaged in a chaotic battle, the Yuan Lu Kingdom would have the strength to fight back. It was a good thing that it would not rise again in the future.

"Haha, hahaha, there's still a general available?" Who could be considered handsome? You scholars who have never been to the battlefield? Now that our country is in danger, do you still want to fight for power? Wasn't he afraid that the right he had would be lost in an instant? You are known as the head of the literati of Yuan Lu, don't tell me that you don't have any foresight? The Yuan Lu country is already at the brink of destruction this time. Is this war really that child's play in your eyes?

Gather all the forces of the entire country and attack the Wilderness? Have you ever thought about how long it would take to mobilize the armies of the army to the south? Which one of you is confident that you can defeat the Brightshore Kingdom within a few months? If the troops from the north are all deployed to the south, then Great De and the Brahma Kingdom, who can guarantee that they won't take advantage of the situation and enter? "

Wan Yi's angry and aggressive question left all the civil officials dumbstruck. They immediately thought deeply about Wan Yi's words and finally felt a trace of coldness in their hearts.

They had always lived a life of luxury and never thought that the Yuan Lu country would really fall, while Fang Chen's invincible image had not only made them feel jealous, making them feel that the civil officials had always been suppressed by the military generals. Although they were unwilling to admit it, they also understood that the two marshals had become the safeguard in their hearts, making them forget about the possibility of the destruction of the Yuan Kingdom.
