The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 512 - 513: Should I Keep Appointing Generals?

Chapter 512 -513: Should I Keep Appointing Generals?

From start to finish, Lin Qian’s tone remained casual as he called out the names of commander after commander, always summoning ten or fifteen at a time and issuing precise military orders dictating from where they should attack, leading how many Imperial Army troops.

As Lin Qian summoned each commander, their names spoken by him would draw them from afar, swiftly arriving, each emanating an overwhelming aura, all were high-level Soul Martial Artists of the Fifth and Sixth Levels of the Awakening Realm!

The representatives from other Southern Domain factions who had come to observe were watching, terror-stricken, as more and more commanders amassed on the square, feeling a growing sense of fear.

Two hundred from the Awakening Realm was not that significant; their own factions had such numbers as well.

But two hundred high-level warriors from the Awakening Realm represented an extremely terrifying force. At this time, they were all silently thinking, “It should be about enough now, it must be all of Huaxia Empire’s strength.”

“Monster, Duanchen, Liu Chaocao…”

Yet, when Lin Qian’s voice rang out again, it completely shattered their imaginations.

Gradually, the number of commanders on the square kept increasing, with no sign of stopping.

When the number of commanders reached a colossal thousand, Lin Qian’s voice still showed no signs of ceasing, as commanders continued to fly in from afar.

They landed firmly on the square, following the military orders issued by Lin Qian. Once they received their orders, they would rise to their feet, stand in formation, and look up into the sky.

There in the sky floated a map formed of condensed Soul Power, which prominently displayed the territories of the True Essence Sect, the Jade Balancer Boundary Country, the Wild Wave Sect, and the Guiyuan Valley.

Following Lin Qian’s orders, all of the commanders and the Imperial Army troops they led were nearly lined up along the edges of these four factions’ territories, forming a massive encirclement.

“What does the Huaxia Empire intend to do?” asked a Soul Martial Artist from one of the Southern Domain’s factions, who could no longer dare to remain seated and had risen to his feet.

He very much wanted to leave, but did not dare to.

The military orders from Lin Qian appeared to be attacks from various directions along the outer zones of territories belonging to the True Essence Sect, the Jade Balancer Boundary Country, the Wild Wave Sect, and the Guiyuan Sect.

However, achieving such an encirclement would inevitably require passing through many areas of strength.

This had already involved those who were present from various Southern Domain factions that had come to spy or were invited to help manage the situation.

At this time, they suddenly realized that Lin Qian’s invitation for them to attend the review of the troops might not have been so simple…

When the number of high-level Awakening Realm Soul Martial Artist commanders reached five thousand, none of the people from the other Southern Domain factions dared sit any longer.

Not only that, but they even saw Soul Beasts.

Among them was a werewolf with white and blue fur, walking upright like a human, adorned with armor, tall in stature, and capable of speaking human language.

These were the War Beast Generals, which silenced everyone present.

It wasn’t until the number of high-level Awakening Realm Soul Martial Artist commanders on the square reached an entire ten thousand that Lin Qian stopped summoning more commanders.

“The Fire Department is responsible for the Sky Soaring Battleships, Assault-type Battleships, and the various soul cannon support; the Heavenly Art Department takes charge of wartime message transmission and matters related to breaking Arrays.”

“With ten thousand commanders assembled, it should be sufficient to deal with enemies from all sides. The rest of you, go and garrison various states and cities within the Empire’s territory.”

As soon as these words from Lin Qian were spoken, the people from the other Southern Domain factions swallowed hard and looked out into the distant sky.

The next moment, they all slumped to the ground, as the air far away was filled with numerous floating figures, all of whom were commanders clad in various Soul Device armors, too many to count.

“Your subordinate accepts the command!”

Boom!

In an instant, the generals in the distant sky vanished into thin air, like countless meteors streaking across the sky, falling into the many territories of the Huaxia Empire.

Not to mention the people from other Southern Domain forces, even the prefects of various provinces and the city lords of large cities within the Huaxia Empire were staring dumbfounded at everything unraveling.

“Bade, the Huaxia Empire we’ve joined seems… a bit too powerful, isn’t it?” Ling Jiu of the Spirit Hoof Clan gently patted Bade beside him, his voice trembling as he spoke.

Bade raised his hands and covered his face, muttering, “Joining the Huaxia Empire was the most correct decision of my life; the Red Horn Clan will surely prosper along with the Huaxia Empire.”

Within the crowd, Qin Wushuang was also staring blankly at Lin Qian on the Nine Dragons Throne, “Brother, do you have any idea how freakishly powerful your disciple has become?”

Throughout the territories of the Huaxia Empire, all the citizens were excitedly watching the scenes on the Soul Vision Machine, shouting with excitement.

When they looked at each other, they could see the joy in each other’s eyes.

In their chests surged a sense of pride.

Even though they were watching through the Soul Vision Machine and did not know how strong those generals really were, the mere sight of ten thousand of them was terrifying enough.

But when the screen shifted to the faces of those from other Southern Domain forces, everything was made clear.

Initially, these people from other Southern Domain forces sat lazily in their own seats, indifferent to the selection taking place before them.

Until the appearance of the Sword Formation Emperor Zhang Juncheng caused their expressions to dramatically change.

As the number of generals grew, they could see those from other Southern Domain forces becoming increasingly restless in their seats, shifting their bodies.

Gradually, some began to stand up, until no one dared to remain seated.

On their faces, the citizens of the Huaxia Empire could clearly see one emotion.

Fear!

Indeed, just as the Renhuang Martial Emperor had mentioned earlier, it made the other forces in the Southern Domain feel fear towards the Huaxia Empire.

“True Essence Sect, Boundary Country, Wild Wave Sect, and Guiyuan Valley, they provoked the Huaxia Empire first, slaughtered our people, pillaged, and looted,” Lin Qian said, looking towards the people from other Southern Domain forces, “Ladies and gentlemen, do you think it’s reasonable for me to declare war on them?”

Touched by Lin Qian’s golden pupils, and with the imperial might looming over them, every one of them felt oppressed to the ground, their bodies trembling and kneeling, large beads of sweat dropping to the floor.

“It’s reasonable, definitely reasonable.”

“These forces, my Hui Country has also been dissatisfied with for a long time.”

“Exactly, exactly, Your Majesty’s actions align with the righteousness of the world!”

Seeing the crowd voicing their opinions, Lin Qian’s face also revealed a smile that was not quite a smile: “Since this is the case, you may go back and pass on a message—my Imperial Army’s attack on True Essence Sect, Boundary Country, Wild Wave Sect, and Guiyuan Valley will inevitably pass through your territories.”

“I wonder, when the time comes, you won’t refuse to give us passage, will you?”

After Lin Qian finished speaking, these people from the other Southern Domain forces showed hesitation. Before they could speak, they saw Lin Qian looking at them coldly.

“There are still many idle hands under my command. Do you think I should continue selecting more?”
