An hour later, the fire near the entrance of the gourd was extinguished, and the army walked into the gourd.
A burst of meat fragrance entered everyone's nose.
It might be the smell of animal meat, but everyone couldn't help but vomit.
After the army passed through the gourd, they rested briefly and continued to rush towards the capital.
The Great Dragon Kingdom was only a small country with a population of 12 million. With the southwest border as a barrier, they had a pretty good life. Other than the Yin Country in the east bullying them from time to time, there weren't many problems.
After knowing that there were tens of thousands of rebels in the southwest border, the Great Dragon Kingdom didn't take it to heart. Although the number of rebels was a bit large, in the eyes of the civil and military officials, they were just a group of refugees. How much fighting power could a group of refugees have?
When the time came, they could just send out 10,000 troops and destroy them with a wave of their hand. Such examples weren't unheard of in the Great Dragon Kingdom, and it had happened more than ten times.
It was only after hearing that the rebels broke through Lu Province that the Great Dragon Kingdom started to take the rebels seriously.
One must know that Lu Province City was an important city. It was the second line of defense set up to guard against sneak attacks from the countries on the other side of the Thousand Demon Mountain.
Now that even a group of rebels could break through Lu Province City, it made the civil and military officials feel pressured. Although they knew that Lu Province City's military was poor due to peace, it shouldn't be this bad, right?
Therefore, after receiving the news that Lu Province was broken through, they had to take it seriously. However, it wasn't that easy to dispatch an army. Moreover, the elite border army of the Great Dragon Kingdom was restrained by the Yin Country, so they naturally couldn't be used casually.
No matter how they thought about it, they knew that dispatching the Royal Capital's Imperial Guard and other reserve forces would be useless. Everyone in the court, including the Great Dragon Kingdom's King, knew this.
However, the imperial guards were different. The annual investment of the imperial guards was more than 800,000 silver taels. With such a large expenditure, even if the imperial guards were greedy, it shouldn't be too bad, right?
However, they didn't know that the imperial guards were rotten to the core and were easily destroyed by Chen Yi's army.
Go, go, go!
A wolf horse quickly shuttled through the outer city of the capital.
Everyone knew that this was an urgent document, so no one dared to block the road.
Reporting ~
It's an emergency.
A voice dragged on for a long time.
The Tiande King, who was in the middle of his morning court session, suddenly heard an urgent report from 800 miles away. He immediately woke up from his drowsiness.
"Why are you panicking?
Could it be that Yin Guogong attacked our borders again?
Don't we have sixty thousand soldiers there? "Tiande King said slowly.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there's an urgent document from the southwest border." A travel-worn soldier said loudly.
When the Tiande King heard the urgent report from the southwest, he immediately smiled happily and said, "I thought it was something big. Alright, bring the document over."
The moment Tiande King read the letter, his body tilted and he fainted.
For a moment, the entire Imperial Court Hall became chaotic.
A high-ranking official from three dynasties opened the letter and loudly reported: "The rebel army has defeated 50,000 royal guards and is now heading towards the capital city!"
It's over.
Some of the loyal officials were dumbstruck.
Most of them didn't care about etiquette and hurriedly rushed home to collect gold, silver, and other valuables to leave the city.
The officials of the court all knew how weak the power of the capital city was. The entire capital city basically didn't have any decent military strength. Other than the bailiffs who bullied the commoners, they also had some organizational skills. But asking them to go to the battlefield, wasn't that a joke?
The King had already fainted, the rebel army had been destroyed, and the border army couldn't be counted on. By the time they arrived, it would be too late.
Even the reserve troops sent to protect the King were hopeless.
Three days later, Chen Yi and Li Chu each rode their Iron Eating Beasts to a place three hundred meters away from the capital city.
At this time, the capital city had already become quiet. There wasn't a single person on the streets. Even on the city walls, there were less than a thousand people on guard.
I am the Tiande King of the Great Dragon Kingdom. Why did you do such a heaven-defying thing?
Why did you cause the deaths of countless people?
"If you leave now, I won't pursue this matter." The Tiande King said.
How could Chen Yi listen to the Tiande King's nonsense when the throne was within his reach?
How could Chen Yi not know the current situation in the capital?
Kill
Boom boom boom
Countless boulders smashed into the tens of meters tall walls of the capital city.
Immediately, screams filled the air.
The Tiande King, who had never left the palace, had never seen such a situation before.
He immediately fainted.
There were less than two thousand guards in the capital city. How could they defend against tens of thousands of elite soldiers?
Half a month later, the Great Dragon Kingdom's King wrote a letter of confession.
Yun yun yun ~
When he was on the throne, there were refugees everywhere, causing chaos and so on. He then abdicated to Great General Chen Yi, hoping that Great General Chen Yi could lead the people to a new life where they could grow crops and have food to eat.
After Chen Yi took the throne, he naturally became a meritorious official. Li Chu was made the Grand Tutor, and the eight captains who followed him in the early years were all made Marquises. However, they never had the right to lead troops.
The reason was that they were only commoners. Now that everything was regulated, they naturally needed professional personnel to deal with the world's affairs.
And all of this was arranged by Li Chu. He basically put Chen Yi, the King, on the side.
This also let the court know that the power of the world was no longer in the hands of the King, but in the hands of the Grand Tutor.
But was Chen Yi willing?
No.
He definitely wasn't willing.
Since he had nothing to do, he could only cultivate in the palace every day.
This was because he knew that in order to move to the Grand Tutor, he had to have great power.
Of course, Chen Yi's throne was abdicated, so it was still called the Great Dragon Kingdom.
After the Great Dragon Kingdom was unified, a new system was established. First, there were the government departments. From the original Ministry of War, Ministry of History, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Revenue, and Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Revenue was split into the Ministry of Taxation and the Ministry of Agriculture.
The Ministry of Rites became the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Education.
The Ministry of Works became the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Water Resources. As for the Ministry of War, it remained the same and was firmly controlled by Li Chu.
After Li Chu gained control of the Great Dragon Kingdom's military strength, he began to recruit intelligence personnel. He began to gather information from the Yin Country in the east and the Baoxiang Country in the southwest.
Liu Yu sometimes lamented that it wasn't easy to be a God of Creation. Ever since Sect Master Chen Yi unified the Great Dragon Kingdom, some people started to covet the neighboring countries. The entire Western Continent had a diameter of more than seven million kilometers, and there were more than two thousand countries, big and small. Even if he participated in the unification war, it would still take a thousand years to complete.
Liu Yu shook his head. Anyway, it was all done by his doppelganger. His main body didn't have to be tired.
After unifying the Western Continent, he could start his next plan — the Extraordinary Era.
