And then again

The face of the bearded palace maid was being swung in full circles.
Lin Beifan, while hitting, also said with a smile, Shang Kingdom Emperor, you wont pretend anymore?
Smack
Do you still wish to fight to the death with Us?
Smack
With you looking like that, how could you possibly fight to the death with Us?
Smack
Go on, try to fight with Us!
Smack Smack
The palace maids face No, it should be said that the face of the Emperor of the Shang Kingdom was beaten to a pulp, completely disfigured.
However, he still managed to project a fierce expression while feeling inwardly timid: You foolish emperor! Do not let me catch an opportunity, or I swear I will avenge this humiliation!
Lin Beifan directly swung a heavy slap across.
How dare you threaten me?
Smack
How dare you talk of revenge?
Smack
I lend you the courage, do you dare?

Finally, the Emperor of the Shang Kingdom couldnt withstand the torture and was knocked unconscious.
Alright, tie him up for me!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Then, Lin Beifan personally led the team, capturing all the princes, grandsons, empresses, and noble consorts within the imperial palace. At the same time, he did not forget to confiscate property, seizing everything from the national treasury and the Emperors private coffers for the state.
After this day, Lin Beifan had thoroughly fattened his coffers!
At that moment, the Grand General and the Prime Minister came walking over.
Lin Beifan asked, Uncles, how is the situation?
With a face full of joy, Grand General Chai Yulang said, The capital city is now under control. All the nobles and dignitaries within have been captured, and their houses have been searched. We have achieved a complete victory in this battle!
Indeed, indeed
Prime Minister Xiao Guoliang was equally pleased: This battle was indeed won splendidly!
Your Majesty, how are things on your end?
Lin Beifan laughed and said, The Emperor of the Shang Kingdom and all his family and children have been captured by me, and the national treasury has also been plundered by me. We can now return to our empire smoothly and triumphantly!
Excellent! the two elders exclaimed loudly.
Following that, Lin Beifan led his troops, escorting the captives and carrying gold, silver, and jewels, as they grandly departed from the capital city of the Shang Kingdom.
Along the way, Lin Beifan opened the Empire Sandbox.
Empire Sandbox (Beginner Level)
Territorial Area: 440,000 square miles (Arable land: 300,000 square miles)
Domestic Resources: 112 million taels (2 iron mines, 3 coal mines, 1 copper mine)
Population: 5.05 million (Wealthy people 2%, Common people 40%, Poor people 58%)
Military Strength: 600,000 (3 Innate experts, 270 martial artists)
Comprehensive National Power: 780 (small kingdom level)
Compared to before, there has been a significant change.
Among these, the Territorial Area has increased by 120,000 square miles, which is the land conquered from the Shang Kingdom. Arable land has increased by 60,000 square miles, which can sustain more people.
Domestic Resources increased by nearly 30 million taels, breaking the total resources past 100 million. This is the greatest gain from this journey.
The Population increased by more than 1 million people, which had already been added before, and basically all of them were refugees received from the Mo Kingdom.
Because of this, the national power increased significantly, reaching 780.
Ding! As the players national power grows, your strength increases accordingly. You are rewarded with the top-tier sword technique, Return of Ten Thousand Swords!
Return of Ten Thousand Swords is a secret technique of the Sword Sect, an unparalleled swordsmanship! With one strike, the sky is filled with swirling Sword Qi, incredibly sharp! Thousands of swords as if servants before their master, command the myriad swords and none dare disobey!
Lin Beifan closed his eyes and quickly absorbed this sword technique.
In terms of power, this Return of Ten Thousand Swords is in no way inferior to the 23rd sword of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique.
One can only say that each of the two sword techniques has its own focus.
The 23rd sword of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique involves the realm of the spirit. When the sword is unleashed, it condenses time and space, rendering the opponent immobile and at the mercy of the wielder.
The Return of Ten Thousand Swords primarily emphasizes attack, with the sword releasing an unstoppable sky full of Sword Qi.
If these two sword techniques were to be combined, their power would be
Unimaginable!!!
Having two top-tier sword techniques, it seems like theyre grooming me to become a Sword Immortal! Lin Beifan was both shocked and delighted.
This journey has truly been very rewarding. Lin Beifan is extremely satisfied.
Even the Emperor of Shang Kingdom beside him started to look more pleasing to the eye. When you encounter the army of Shang Kingdom, do you know what to say?
The Emperor of Shang Kingdom, with an expressionless face, said, I know, I will have them let us pass!
Lin Beifan nodded in satisfaction: Good to know! As long as you cooperate obediently, I will let you return!
The Emperor of Shang Kingdom couldnt help but ask, Will you really let me and my wife, children, and family return?
Lin Beifan nodded and said, Of course, once youve all been used up, whats the point of keeping you? It would only be a waste of food!
Arent you afraid that, once I return, I will lead troops to come and fight you?
Lin Beifan sneered, Do you dare? Are you not afraid that I will personally lead my troops again and strike at your very lair?
The Emperor of the Shang Kingdom recalled the previous events, shuddered, and fell silent.
A day passed, and finally, they encountered the grand army of the Shang Kingdom.
An immense force of 400,000 soldiers and a sea of people stretching beyond sight surrounded Lin Beifans army of the Xia Kingdom layer upon layer.
However, these 400,000 soldiers dared not make a reckless move.
For their Emperor and numerous high officials were all in the hands of Lin Beifan.
