Chapter 49
The stunning beauty continued to ponder deeply, realizing that many of Lin Beifans seemingly foolish moves ultimately led to unexpectedly positive outcomes.
Of course, there were still many of his foolish moves that she couldnt make sense of.
For example, why did he attack the Mo Kingdom twice only to withdraw his troops and return the land, as if engaging in pointless actions?
And why would he appoint a woman as a general, commanding an army of 100,000 to fight against the Shang Kingdom?
But all of this could not overshadow the radiance that Lin Beifan possessed.
She may not understand it now, perhaps because her knowledge hasnt reached that level, her thinking hasnt delved that deep, but maybe shell understand it in the future.
Continue to observe; if he can lead the Xia Kingdom to become a great nation, it will prove that he has tremendous potential. Its not impossible for him to establish a dynasty in the future, and our Holy Sect can lend him a helping hand!
The breathtakingly beautiful woman sat down cross-legged, closed her eyes, and continued her cultivation practice.
Although there were some criticisms about Lin Beifan, the Xia Kingdom was nevertheless flourishing.
At this moment, Lin Beifan received the latest war report from the Mo Kingdom.
The Mo Kingdom fought alone against three nations and held out for three months.
But now, the food supply within the city had run out. Surrounded on all sides and unable to procure and transport food, they ultimately could not hold on. The enemy breached the city gates, and one city after another fell.
However, when the enemy breached the capital city of the Mo Kingdom, the Emperor of Mo and several royal family members, along with important ministers had already fled without a trace.
What a bunch of useless allies! I helped hold off two countries for you, and still, it all falls apart! Lin Beifan felt a great sense of regret.
If only the Mo Kingdom could have held out for two more months, he would have completed the domestic infrastructure projects.
With no worries left behind, he could have fully taken the opportunity to send out troops and conquer another country.
But alas, there are no ifs in life, and things dont always go as one wishes.
Fortunately, he had almost completely moved all the valuable goods of the Mo Kingdom.
Lin Beifan chuckled inwardly, wondering what expressions would cross the faces of the three nations when they discovered that the Mo Kingdom, which they had painstakingly conquered, had turned into a barren wasteland devoid of any resources.
It would certainly be quite amusing, haha!
Send out the order, instruct Generals An Lushan and Chai Yuxin not to act rashly, to lead the army in guarding our nations gates firmly, and to prevent even a single soldier from An Kingdom and Shang Kingdom from crossing the border!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Following that, Lin Beifan opened the Empire Sandbox to check on the development status of his own nation.
Empire Sandbox (Beginner Level)
Territorial Area: 320,000 square miles (Arable land 240,000 square miles)
Domestic Resources: 81 million taels (1 iron mine, 2 coal mines, 1 copper mine)
Population: 3.9 million (Wealthy people 3%, Common people 45%, Poor people 52%)
Military Strength: 600,000 (3 Innate experts, 250 martial artists)
Comprehensive National Power: 680 (small kingdom level)
Compared to the data from the previous return from the Mo Kingdom, the Territorial Area has shrunk to 320,000 square miles.
However, the Population has increased by nearly one million.
Among them, the number of Wealthy people increased by 2 percentage points, Common people by 27 percentage points, while Poor people decreased by 19 percentage points, greatly optimizing the population structure.
In terms of military strength, it has doubled, adding one Innate and 50 martial artists.
Therefore, the comprehensive national power has grown by 40 points.
Lin Beifan is quite satisfied with this. As time goes on, the national power of his Xia Kingdom will continue to strengthen.
Ding! As the players national power grows, your strength increases accordingly. You are rewarded with the Holy Spirit Sword Technique!
The Holy Spirit Sword Technique is a top-tier swordsmanship created by a Sword Saint! It comprises a total of 23 sword moves
A profound and deep understanding of the way of the sword surged into Lin Beifans mind.
Lin Beifan earnestly comprehended it, spending an entire night to grasp the concept.
After he understood it, he became a master swordsman, and his strength increased significantly.
With a mix of shock and joy in his heart, he exclaimed, This Holy Spirit Sword Technique is too powerful, extremely fierce, and mercilessly ruthless! Each sword is more terrifying than the last! Especially the final sword, it can be called the Sword of Hell, with its strike everything freezes, leaving the opponent at my mercy! Truly the strongest sword, it can be used as the ultimate trump card!
Lin Beifan was extremely satisfied with his gains.
Happily, he opened the Empire Sandbox to continue reviewing the domestic situation.
At that moment, Lin Beifan said with great surprise, The outside world rumored that you had fled and disappeared without a trace! I didnt expect you to actually come to my territory, haha! Truly, heaven is helping me! I will definitely give you a proper welcome!
