Chapter 239.2
The three envoys were completely astounded!
How could this Great Xia Emperor have so many great things?
Every single one is my favorite!
Damn it, what should I do if my heart is moved?
At that moment, Lin Beifan said with a smile, Everyone, if you serve me, you will have the chance to obtain these divine elixirs, divine skills, and divine weapons! I will also arrange for some people to help rescue your families! Wealth and honor will certainly not be lacking for you!
Your Majesty, theres no need to say more!
The three envoys said in unison, We are willing to devote ourselves to Your Majesty and work tirelessly until death!
Tears silently fell in their heart.
Im sorry, Your Majesty, we have failed your grace!
Its not that we are disloyal, but the offer from the other side was too much!
Following this, Lin Beifan dispatched Yuan Tiangang, along with the Heng Ha Generals, Deadly Scholar, and several other Innates to accompany the three envoys to the nations of Great Lan, Great Xi, and Great Wu.
On one hand, they were to assist in relocating their families.
On the other hand, they were to persuade other Innates to see if they could be of use to them.
In the end, they did not disappoint. Aside from the three envoys, they managed to convince six more to defect to Great Xia.
With this, the power of the Great Xia Kingdom grew once more.
Ding! Due to the growth of the players national power, your strength has increased in sync, rewarding you with the Eternal Youth and Everlasting Longevity Technique!
The Eternal Youth and Everlasting Longevity Technique is a practice that grants longevity! Upon mastery, not only will ones lifespan be greatly extended, achieving eternal youth, but ones martial arts will also reach the pinnacle of this world!
Lin Beifan quickly absorbed this technique and laughed: Like The Art of Longevity, this technique grants longevity. Although the methods to achieve it differ, they can complement each other and make up for their respective shortcomings!
His gaze turned towards the direction of Great Luo, and he smiled again.
I truly have to thank the Great Luo Emperor this time! I wouldnt have gained so much without his actions, haha!
Because Lin Beifan had poached their cornerstones at this time, the three nations quickly fell and were annexed by Great Luo.
As a result, Great Luos territory doubled, and the population increased by more than twice.
Upon learning this news, the Great Luo Emperor was extremely excited and went mad with joy.
This is the right way! What benevolence, what morality, all of it is nonsense, I dont need it anymore! Without morality, you cant hold me hostage! Haha
(TLN: Hostage here means the constraints limiting his actions/decisions.)
His thoughts were liberated once again, and the last bit of benevolence, morality, and conscience in his heart was cast aside!
Next, the Great Luo Emperor took stock of his wealth, mainly the food supplies.
Although the food supply had increased, it was not enough to feed the entire population.
However, he was not worried at all.
There are still too many people. We need to continue to wage wars abroad! In doing so, there will be more food as more people die, and the balance will be restored, right? The heavens are not benevolent, for they regard all beings as mere straw dogs! Do not blame me for being ruthless!
Having abandoned morality and benevolence, he no longer regarded the common people as humans.
However, he still placed great importance on skilled masters.
How many masters have we recruited during our northern campaign? How many Acquired masters and how many Innate masters? Give me a detailed report!
Report to Your Majesty
The general glanced fearfully at the Great Luo Emperor: During this northern campaign, we have subdued a total of 38 first-rate masters, 122 second-rate masters, and 442 third-rate masters!
The Great Luo Emperor frowned: Thats too low!
These three nations were all great kingdoms, and together, they should have at least 150 first-rate masters, 500 second-rate masters, and 2000 third-rate masters.
Yet, he had not even secured a quarter of these masters.
Report to Your Majesty, most of them resisted and did not submit, so they were killed! the general said.
Thats understandable, but what about the Innates? Innates are powerful and not so easily killed; there should still be some left, right? The Great Luo Emperor was more concerned about Innate masters.
Because one Innate master was worth dozens of first-rate masters.
The general knelt down: Please forgive me, Your Majesty, but we did not manage to recruit any of the Innate masters!
The Great Luo Emperor became furious: Not even one? What have you all been doing?
Report to Your Majesty, this group of Innates was quite stubborn, and nearly sixty percent died on the battlefield!
Great Luo Emperor continued in anger, Isnt there still 40% left?
That remaining forty percent has been poached by Great Xia!
What? Great Luo Emperor was shocked to death.
The person he had his eye on was snatched away by Great Xia first?
Why does Great Xia keep haunting him like a persistent ghost?
Great Luo Emperor roared, How could you let Great Xia poach them? Couldnt you have threatened them with their families?
We were planning to do that, but we were a step too late. Their families had already been moved by Great Xia! We were powerless to change the situation, so please forgive us, Your Majesty!
Great Luo Emperor trembled with rage, Damn Great Xia, always so quick to act!
Nothing good ever happened every time he encountered Great Xia!
Could it be that they are my nemesis?
Great Luo Emperor took several deep breaths, reminding himself not to get angry too much. It wasnt worth dying of anger over the enemys actions.
Considering your years of dedicated service to me, I will let these matters pass! Go and continue to recruit soldiers and conscript as many as you can from those three countries!
The general was dumbfounded, Your Majesty, why?
Of course, to continue expanding our territory!
Great Luo Emperor said coldly. We have such a large population and not enough food, how should we divide it? Dont you agree?
The general hesitated, But Your Majesty, this will result in many deaths
If they die, they die. They are just a bunch of ungrateful wretches. Their deaths are of no pity! Great Luo Emperor said lightly.
The general looked at the Emperor before him, feeling that he was both very unfamiliar and somewhat frightening.
