Myriad Realms Summoning System
Chapter Summary
Just as he was puzzled, the system explained, "Li Cunxiao's Fire Scale Legion just now successfully defeated the Tianpeng Kingdom's army. After hearing Xiao Chen's question, Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty, more than 90% of these new recruits are skilled warriors who are ready to fight at any time. Zhao Yun will lead the 50,000-man army and march to the southern border in three days!" "Another 30,000-man Eagle Legion, led by Lu Bu, will head to the western border to coo...
In the Tingfeng Hall of the Imperial City Palace, Xiao Chen, who was practicing, suddenly heard the voice of the system in his mind.
"Unify the Three Kingdoms? Main quest?"
The sudden main mission made him a little confused. What was going on?
Just as he was puzzled, the system explained, "Li Cunxiao's Fire Scale Legion just now successfully defeated the Tianpeng Kingdom's army. The western and southern parts of the Great Zhou have been completely stabilized. To prevent the host from complacently accepting the status quo, the system has decided to give the host some motivation to move forward."
"Who is content with the status quo?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but retort, but his heart was filled with excitement.
The system upgrade that he had been longing for had finally been accomplished. For Xiao Chen, this task was much easier than the main task of his confidante.
With the power he now possesses, as long as the Human Emperor Palace and the northern barbarians do not interfere, it will not be difficult to destroy the Tianpeng Kingdom and the Xianglong Kingdom that have just suffered defeat.
Moreover, he doesn't have to worry too much about the barbarians. Although the northern border troops are not under his control, they are never vague in resisting the barbarians. This is why Xiao Chen does not seize the military power of the northern army.
After all, these people are meritorious officials who are willing to sacrifice their lives and shed their blood to protect the Great Zhou Empire. It is impossible for Xiao Chen to ruthlessly kill their commander and forcibly seize this iron-blooded army.
Moreover, what Xiao Chen wanted was a kingly army that was truly loyal to him, not a mob that had lost its spirit and had low combat effectiveness.
With the northern border troops defending against the barbarians, Xiao Chen doesn't have to worry about them. What he needs to focus on is the Human Emperor Palace, which is like a time bomb that may explode at any time.
After a long moment of contemplation, Xiao Chen muttered to himself, "It seems I need to raise my cultivation to the Martial Marshal realm as soon as possible to help Zhang Han and the others remove the seal on their cultivation. Otherwise, if the Martial King powerhouses from the Human Emperor Palace intervene, it will be troublesome!"
Xiao Chen must destroy the Tianpeng Kingdom and the Xianglong Kingdom, and now is undoubtedly the best time to destroy them with a blitzkrieg while the other party is still struggling to recover.
As long as we destroy these two countries and get the opportunity to upgrade the system, all problems can be solved.
The last system upgrade opened up a middle-level martial arts world, Qin's Moon. Unless there are no unexpected events, the next upgrade should be another middle-level martial arts world.
The probability of a Martial King emerging in the Zhongwu World is quite high. By then, he would have a hundred or eighty Martial Kings under his command. Who in the entire Iron Blood Dynasty could threaten him? He could also expand without restraint.
Thinking of this, he stood up and said to Dian Qing outside the hall: "Senior Dian Qing, please ask Zilong, Xun Yu and others to go to the imperial study to discuss matters. I have important instructions for you."
…
Several high-ranking officials of the Great Zhou Empire had gathered in the imperial study, including two important cabinet ministers Xun Yu and Di Renjie, as well as military rising stars Zhao Zilong and Yang Lin.
In addition, several generals such as Li Mu and Lu Bu who had just defected, as well as the two beauties Shangguan Wan'er and Tian Yan were also present.
Even Sun Simiao, who rarely appeared in public, made a rare appearance in the imperial study.
More than a dozen people were crammed into the small imperial study, and most people could only stand. No wonder Xiao Chen wanted to rebuild the imperial palace in Dilin Mountain, as the palace was simply too small.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
As soon as Xiao Chen walked into the imperial study, the civil and military officials in the study all saluted.
Xiao Chen didn't exchange pleasantries with them. He walked straight to the dragon throne and sat down. Then he asked, "Zilong, how is the recruitment going?"
Zhao Yun hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have already recruited 80,000 new soldiers."
Xiao Chen nodded. Zhao Yun had done a good job by recruiting 80,000 people in such a short time.
He spoke again and asked, "Zilong, if we put these 80,000 new soldiers on the battlefield now, how much combat effectiveness do you think they can exert?"
As soon as Xiao Chen finished asking, Di Renjie and Xun Yu both felt something in their hearts, and then they looked at each other with understanding.
These two old fellows with clear minds had already vaguely guessed that Xiao Chen might use troops again!
After hearing Xiao Chen's question, Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty, more than 90% of these new recruits are skilled warriors who are ready to fight at any time. However, their discipline is much weaker than that of regular troops, and their combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed."
"Furthermore, due to the lack of war horses in the army, the riding skills of these new recruits need to be considered. If they are to be used as cavalry, I'm afraid..."
Martial arts are prevalent in Tianluo Continent, and the banner that Xiao Chen asked Zhao Yun to use when recruiting soldiers is that they can obtain precious martial arts techniques, so most of these soldiers have some skills.
As for the issue of war horses, it has always been a major problem that has plagued the Great Zhou army, but he has already asked Shangguan Qingmeng to deal with it, so it should not be a big problem.
So after pondering for a moment, Xiao Chen nodded and said, "It's not scary to have no discipline. Let them stay on the battlefield for a few days and they will develop discipline. Fighting can help you fight!"
"As for the issue of the warhorse, you don't need to worry. I will deal with it as soon as possible."
At this time, Xun Yu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for asking, but do you intend to use military force against the Tianpeng and Xianglong nations?"
Xun Yu's words made Li Mu and other new generals' eyes light up and their faces showed surprise.
For those who have just defected, war is undoubtedly the best way for them to get promoted quickly, and war means military merit.
Tian Yan and Shangguan Wan'er were very calm, as this matter had little to do with them.
Xiao Chen didn't hide anything and nodded, saying, "Yes, the news just came from the front line. The Fire Scale Legion defeated the Tianpeng Kingdom. The enemy's 400,000-strong army was almost completely wiped out. This is our best opportunity to pursue the victory!"
Di Renjie frowned slightly and was about to stand up and advise Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen waved his hand to stop him and said, "Huaiying, there is no need to say more. I have made up my mind. This battle is inevitable."
Although Di Renjie did not like war, since Xiao Chen had made his attitude clear, he could not persuade him anymore and had to retreat helplessly.
Xun Yu also didn't say much and returned to his seat. He knew that he couldn't stop Xiao Chen.
As cabinet ministers, his and Di Renjie's next task was to allocate military supplies and ensure victory in the war.
"Zhao Yun, I'm naming the 80,000-man army I'm recruiting for you the Eagle Legion. From today on, it will be the third largest legion of the Great Zhou Empire!"
As Xiao Chen finished speaking, Zhao Yun knelt on one knee and said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
The establishment of the Eagle Legion means that he will become the third legion commander of the Great Zhou Empire. This is such a great gift, how can he not be excited.
Xiao Chen gestured to Zhao Yun to stand up, then continued, "Due to the needs of the war, I need to temporarily split the Eagle Legion. Zhao Yun will lead the 50,000-man army and march to the southern border in three days!"
"Another 30,000-man Eagle Legion, led by Lu Bu, will head to the western border to cooperate with General Bai Qi and the Tenglong Legion in launching a war against the Xianglong Kingdom!"
"I now declare that the Great Zhou Empire has begun its war against the Xianglong Kingdom and the Tianpeng Kingdom. I want to see the destruction of these two kingdoms within a month!"
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, all the civil and military officials stood up and bowed to him, saying, "We will do our best!"
