Myriad Realms Summoning System
Chapter Summary
"Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the side quest: destroy Northern Qi and unify the four northern kingdoms!" "Mission Reward: One random summoning opportunity!" Just as Xiao Chen finished giving the order to Wang Yue, the voice of the system suddenly came from his mind. Only three days later, Gao Chong, the deputy general of Donglie War City, under Xiao Chen's orders, personally led 100,000 Wei Wuzu who had rushed to the eastern border and marched towards the Northern Qi Kingdom....
There are thirteen kingdoms of various sizes in the Northern Territory of the Iron Blood Dynasty, and the Northern Qi Kingdom is the weakest of the thirteen kingdoms in the Northern Territory, even weaker than the former Great Zhou Kingdom.
How weak is this country?
Let’s put it this way, even the small families in the Iron Blood Dynasty are too lazy to control it, and big families like the Luo family don’t even look at it.
Of course, this also has an advantage, that is, the aristocratic families in the Northern Qi Kingdom are all native families, and there is no interference from external forces.
The most peculiar thing is that this country is the only country in the Northern Territory that is not protected by the Human Emperor's Palace, but it has miraculously existed here for a thousand years.
This is not to say that he can defend his territory, but that no one is interested in his small territory.
The territory of Northern Qi was not small, almost as big as the former Great Zhou Kingdom, but there were no resources on such a vast land!
This country has no spirit crystal mines, and other resources are also pitifully scarce. Even the grain harvest is poor.
In addition, its martial arts strength is extremely backward. The strongest people in the country are only three martial marquises. There is not even a decent genius or sect.
If it weren't for the mission of conquering the Northern Territory, Xiao Chen wouldn't even be willing to kill him. It was too useless.
But now, it’s another matter.
The Great Zhou had just experienced a great war and the domestic situation had just stabilized. The rapid expansion of territory had created many new problems that needed to be solved urgently.
Therefore, it is not realistic to attack other countries in the Northern Territory in a short period of time. War is not just about taking territory, but also about post-war rule and governance, which is more important than conquering cities and territories.
However, if we occupy the Northern Qi Kingdom, there is no need to consider these issues at all.
Xiao Chen estimated that the 100,000 Wei Wuzu he had just summoned would be enough to destroy the Northern Qi Kingdom.
Of course, the prerequisite is that these Wei Wu soldiers must be led by a top general. After all, they still have three powerful Wu Hous. Even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit!
The relationship between Northern Qi and Great Zhou was actually quite good. Because the two countries faced the same threat from barbarians, they had always been allies. It would be unkind to eliminate an ally.
However, there is no real friendship between countries. It's just a matter of each taking what they need.
As an emperor, Xiao Chen would not be so soft-hearted. An emperor needs to be domineering and ruthless.
What's more, the main force resisting the barbarians in recent years has always been the Great Zhou, and the Northern Qi has not made any contribution at all.
The reason is that Northern Qi was poor. Even the barbarians were too lazy to plunder them. How could a country that couldn't even feed itself make any money?
Perhaps Xiao Chen's conquest of the Northern Qi Kingdom would be an opportunity for the people of Northern Qi.
"Wang Yue, have Black Ice Platform send a message to Gao Chong. I'm sending him a hundred thousand troops and ordering him to take down Northern Qi within two weeks!"
In the imperial study, Xiao Chen gave orders to Wang Yue.
Now ten days have passed, and there are less than twenty days left before all the major forces gather in Longtan Mountain.
He didn't want to waste these twenty days. He wanted to take over Northern Qi before the major forces arrived and unify the four northern countries in the Northern Territory first.
Gao Chong has just come to seek refuge, and now he has been promoted to the position of the second general of Donglie War City without any achievement. It is a bit difficult to convince the people, so let's give him a chance to accumulate merit!
It just so happens that Northern Qi is located in the eastern part of Great Zhou and is closest to Donglie War City, so this task is most suitable for Gao Chong.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the side quest: destroy Northern Qi and unify the four northern kingdoms!"
"Mission Reward: One random summoning opportunity!"
Just as Xiao Chen finished giving the order to Wang Yue, the voice of the system suddenly came from his mind.
He actually triggered another side quest, but when he saw the reward for this quest, Xiao Chen couldn't help but complain. It was so outrageously low!
According to Xiao Chen's observation, the task rewards issued by the system are generally determined by the difficulty of the task.
The harder the task, the greater the reward!
On the contrary, the easier the task, the worse the reward!
Northern Qi was still a country after all! Is this the only reward for destroying a country?
It seems that the garbage in this country is not imaginary, but the reality of the food.
…
The Great Zhou attacked Northern Qi at a very fast pace, and did not even arrange for the allocation of food and fodder, because in Xiao Chen's eyes, Northern Qi was too insignificant to mention.
Only three days later, Gao Chong, the deputy general of Donglie War City, under Xiao Chen's orders, personally led 100,000 Wei Wuzu who had rushed to the eastern border and marched towards the Northern Qi Kingdom.
Gao Chong led 100,000 Wei Wuzu soldiers to the gate of an important town where Northern Qi and Great Zhou met.
These 100,000 Wei Wu soldiers were all of burly build. They wore thick black armor, held sharp silver spears more than two meters long in their hands, and had heavy beheading swords hanging on their waists. It was obvious that they were not good people.
The most crucial thing was that these 100,000 Wei Wu soldiers formed a solemn military formation that stretched for miles. The murderous aura that almost merged into one froze the entire sky, and even the birds flying by were scared away.
On the top of the city wall, the soldiers of the Northern Qi Kingdom, who had not experienced war for a long time, could not help but tremble as they looked at the 100,000 Wei Wu soldiers with murderous intent below the city.
Although they also had nearly 50,000 defenders, their combat effectiveness was only meager, otherwise they would not have been frightened so badly by the Wei Wuzu.
The commander of this important town is only a five-star martial artist, and nine out of ten of his soldiers are martial arts apprentices.
Such an army had no ability to resist at all when faced with the Wei Wuzu, whose commander was Gao Chong, who had perfected the martial spirit and whose subordinates were nearly half military soldiers.
"Gao Chong, the defender of Donglie War City in the Great Zhou Empire, is here in the name of our Emperor to attack Northern Qi. Open the city walls and surrender immediately!"
Gao Chong, a famous general wearing silver armor and holding a spear, stood alone on horseback in front of the city gate more than five meters high. Facing the tens of thousands of defenders on the city wall, he was not afraid.
"This... General, Great Zhou and Northern Qi have always been on good terms. Why did you lead your troops to attack?"
The defender of the Northern Qi Kingdom hid on the top of the city wall and looked at the extraordinary and heroic Gao Chong, and was so frightened that his voice trembled.
Seeing that the commander of a city was in such a miserable state, he couldn't help but smile.
He looked at the general on the city wall and said, "It is because of the friendly relationship between our two countries that the Emperor of the Great Zhou Empire does not want to see our brother nation become impoverished and weak. He has specially sent this general to help you and let you feel the grace of the Great Zhou."
Gao Chong's shameless remarks made the Northern Qi defenders very helpless. This was obviously shameless!
After taking a long breath to relieve the pressure, the general said tremblingly: "General Gao, please don't make such jokes."
Gao Chong snorted coldly, "A joke? This general is in no mood to joke with you. If you know what's good for you, open the city and surrender quickly, or I'll attack you!"
Gao Chong's words made the general guarding the city shudder, but he did not dare to actually open the city gate.
There are an army of 100,000 fierce and powerful soldiers outside the city. If he opens the city gate, he will definitely not end up well.
But Gao Chong was too lazy to waste time with him. Seeing that the general had no intention of opening the city and surrendering, he flew up from his horse and looked down at the entire city.
Gao Chong looked coldly at the defenders on the city wall and said, "Since you are unwilling to open the city, don't blame me for being ruthless."
