Chapter 133.1
Three days later, Chai Yuxin led her Phoenix Womens Army to the borderlands.
Further ahead lies the Northeastern Five Kingdoms! That is also the most rampant territory of the Yellow Sky Sect, with over four million followers. It can be said that one in every two people is a disciple of the Yellow Sky Sect! Therefore, General Chai, you must be cautious on this journey!
Standing at the border between the two countries, General Wang Jinhai pointed towards the territory ahead and spoke.
Rest assured, General Wang, I have made all the necessary preparations before setting out!
Chai Yuxin confidently said, My 3,000 female soldiers are worth 300,000 strong troops! Those four million Yellow Sky Sect followers may sound intimidating, but they are nothing more than a paper tiger, easily punctured with a poke! General Wang, wait for the good news of my triumphant return!
Still, one must not be careless!
General Wang Jinhai said earnestly, Although those followers are weak and no match for our great army, they are fearless and willing to die. Even ants can kill an elephant in large enough numbers!
Theres no need to worry about that either. His Majesty has prepared a great drum for us! This drum is quite magical; as long as it is sounded, it can intimidate the soul and dispel the other sides bewitchment! Chai Yuxin had someone bring up a large drum.
General Wang Jinhai looked at the drum. Although it appeared ordinary, it seemed to possess a captivating power. Staring at it for too long made his spirit wander, compelling him to avert his gaze.
Alright! Since you are all prepared, then make it quick!
Thank you, General Wang! Speed is of the essence in war. We are setting off now, and well meet again another day! Chai Yuxin bowed with her hands clasped together.
Wang Jinhai was still somewhat worried: General Chai, are these 3,000 troops enough? Should I arrange for more to be assigned to you?
Chai Yuxin looked back at her female soldiers and nodded: Indeed, its not quite enough. My women soldiers are only skilled in combat, nothing else! I would ask General Wang to arrange for 100,000 people, specifically to handle the transportation of goods!
Transporting goods? Wang Jinhai was bewildered by the wind.
Following that, Chai Yuxin led the 3,000 female soldiers and an army of 100,000 into the northeastern five countries.
The Yellow Sky Sect naturally would not sit by and wait for death; they immediately organized forces to resist.
As the Great Xia troops arrived at a small town, numerous common people, organized by the Yellow Sky Sect, rushed out wielding knives, spears, clubs, and sticks, howling as they charged toward the Great Xia soldiers.
Among them were men and women, old and young, all seemingly fearless and ready to fight to the death.
To be honest, such an army of zealots was no match for the Great Xia forces. A few charges from the troops could easily take care of them, or they could simply use long-range archery.
However, each of these individuals was an unarmed commoner, which made it difficult for the soldiers to strike them down.
Deluding the common people into committing violent acts, the Yellow Sky Sect truly deserves death!
Chai Yuxin shouted loudly, Bring up the great drum!
Yes, General! The great drum was brought forth.
Chai Yuxin stood in front of the large drum, striking it forcefully.
Boom Boom
The sound of the drum rolled out in waves, spreading in all directions.
The soldiers of Great Xia felt nothing special, but the disciples of the Yellow Sky Sect felt their spirits become dazed and rippling upon hearing it. They stood motionless in the distance, their minds gradually clearing.
Then, as they looked upon the 100,000 strong troops before them, panic set in.
The soldiers of Great Xia are here, Great Xia has come to attack!
Great Xia is too terrifying, we simply cannot win against them!
Im so stupid, why did I think of using a brick to fight them? Thats a quick way to get yourself killed!
Run, run now or well lose our lives!
They dropped their weapons and ran.
As fast as they had charged in, thats how fast they were running now.
Chai Yuxin burst into hearty laughter: This big drum really works! I only beat it a few times, and they all came to their senses and ran away! Sisters, follow me now as we storm into the city!
Yes, General! The soldiers of Great Xia entered the city with a vigorous and imposing manner, eliminating the stubborn disciples of the Yellow Sky Sect and liberating the entire city.
Subsequently, all the gold, silver, jewels, grains, fabrics, and so on that were obtained from the city were moved back to Great Xia.
The first battle was incredibly easy; there was hardly any effort involved before a city was liberated. Thus, Chai Yuxin continued to lead the grand army towards the second city.
If they encountered disciples of the Yellow Sky Sect along the way, they would beat the great drum to awaken them from their trance.
In this manner, they conquered cities and seized territories at a miraculous pace.
At the headquarters of the Yellow Sky Sect.
General Digong rushed in, panic-stricken: Elder brother, its bad news! Great Xia really has a method to break the enchantment; its a great drum, and as soon as its sounded, those bewitched commoners will come to their senses!
General Tiangong was also taken aback: They really do have a way!
General Digong said anxiously, Now, theyre moving too fast; theyve already taken down five cities! The common people in the cities have been freed from the enchantment and returned to normal, which is very disadvantageous for us! Elder brother, what should we do now?
General Tiangong asked, Is it possible to find someone to destroy that drum?
That drum is heavily guarded by the Great Xia troops; its extremely difficult to destroy! However, we must try no matter what! General Digong said loudly.
Alright! Younger brother, Ill leave this matter to you!
Elder brother, Ill arrange for people right away; wait for my good news!
General Digong hurriedly left.
Shortly after, General Digong once again summoned a million disciples of the Yellow Sky Sect to besiege the troops of Great Xia.
The million disciples of the Yellow Sky Sect moved like zombies, a vast sea of people that was hair-raising to behold.
Chai Yuxin bellowed, Sound the great drum immediately!
Yes, General!
A soldier stood before the great drum, his hands as mallets, and he struck the drum.
Boom Boom
As the drumbeats spread, the disciples of the Yellow Sky Sect who were charging forward fell to the ground like waves.
Just then, a group of strong fighters suddenly burst forth from among these Yellow Sky Sect disciples.
There were about a hundred of them, and even the weakest was a second-rate warrior.
The leader among them was General Digong, who wielded a large cleaver and shouted loudly, For the cause of the Yellow Sky, charge! Whoever destroys the great drum will be handsomely rewarded by me!
Attack! The group roared as they charged forward.
Chai Yuxin snorted, Ive been waiting for you!
Waving her long spear, she bellowed, Form up!
Yes, General!
As the formation was set, the power of 3,000 men converged, led by Chai Yuxin, and struck at the people of General Digong.
Boom
With just this one strike, all the enemies were annihilated!
Only General Digong survived, but he was also severely injured, vomiting blood as he fled.
Remember, this old man will come back!
In the blink of an eye, the figure had disappeared!
Fighting is not his forte, but he sure can run fast! Chai Yuxin snorted disdainfully.
Instead of sending people to pursue, they swept the battlefield, gathering the spoils of war.
Before long, General Digong ran back to the headquarters of the Yellow Sky Sect.
Upon seeing him, General Tiangong was shocked and dismayed: Second brother, what happened to you? Who did this to you?
General Digong was pale: It was the troops of Great Xia! They were actually able to perform a terrifying battle formation, concentrating the strength of many to unleash a powerful strike! Everyone else perished under that blow. Only I, blessed with a strong fate, survived!
General Tiangong sighed deeply: Great Xia is indeed not easy to deal with!
General Digong asked, Big brother, what should we do now?
At this point, we have no choice but to abandon this place and seek development elsewhere! General Tiangong sighed.
Big brother, this is the foundation weve worked so hard to build. Can you really bear to leave it?
We have to bear it even if we dont want to! If we stay any longer, not only will our foundation be lost, I fear even our lives will be at risk!
General Digong was reluctant, but remembering the terror of Great Xia, he could only accept defeat.
Big brother, where shall we go?
Now, the only places we can go to are Great Xue, Great Shi, and Great Zhu! Even though The Great Xue Kingdom is powerful, we can develop in secret, but Im afraid we will suffer a frenzied attack from Great Xue if we grow too large!
So, the places we can go to now are Great Shi and Great Zhu! We have a certain foundation there, and its easier to develop! Although Great Shi and Great Zhu are also great kingdoms, they cannot pose a threat to us!
Good! Lets go to Great Zhu and Great Shi! General Digong declared loudly.
Thus, they abandoned the five nations and shifted their base to the two countries of Great Shi and Great Zhu.
Without a leader, the progress of Great Xias troops became even more miraculous.
Victory was assured in every battle!
Often, there was no need to fight; just the sound of the great drum was enough to resolve the war.
Then, she led her great army to occupy the city, taking all the valuable items within and transporting them back.
While they were moving items above, Lin Beifan was moving items below, pocketing all the good stuff.
Looking again at Empire Sandbox, it had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Empire Sandbox (Intermediate Level)
Territorial Area: 2.8 million square miles (Arable land 1.5 million square miles)
Domestic Resources: 512 million taels (3 gold mines, 4 silver mines, 6 copper mines, 11 iron mines)
Population: 15.2 million (Wealthy people 3%, Common people 37%, Poor people 60%)
Military Strength: 1.2 million (11 Innate-level warriors, 4500 martial artists)
Comprehensive National Power: 2950 (Great kingdom level)
Among these, the Territorial Area has expanded by over 1 million square miles!
Domestic Resources have also increased by over 100 million taels!
The Population has also increased by over 2 million due to this calamity of the Yellow Sky!
As a result, it led to an explosive growth in comprehensive national power!
It once approached the critical mark of 3000!
Ding! As the players national power has increased, your strength has increased accordingly. You are rewarded with the True Art of Xuanwu!
The True Art of Xuanwu was created by an invincible master and is divided into ten formidable martial arts techniques and the Xuanwu internal power! The ten formidable martial arts include the Peerless Saber Technique, the Sky-Asking Spear Decision, the Destiny Sword Path, and the Great Change Halberd Manual Once mastered, one can battle the heavens and fight the earth!
Lin Beifan closed his eyes, fully absorbing this martial art.
This martial art was the most abstruse and difficult to understand among all the techniques he had learned, and it was also the most powerful and invincible.
Once mastered, not only would his strength significantly increase, but also his proficiency with blades, spears, swords, halberds
Mastering ten types of weapons, he could truly be called invincible!
What excellent martial arts! Lin Beifan exclaimed in great joy.
He felt that after learning this divine technique, the realm of the Great Grandmaster seemed to be within reach.
Even facing a Great Grandmaster, he would not be afraid!
