Chapter 1059 - Heading South (2/2)
The process of manufacturing the Universe Knight Systems was more troublesome than Fang Xingjian had imagined. There were many parts that could not be completed with just the blueprint alone. Changes to the environment, requirements, and different materials also caused various problems.
However, given Fang Xingjian’s technological skills and production capabilities, he still managed to resolve these problems one by one and complete these nine sets of crystal Mother Boxes.
Amongst these nine crystals, there were three that emitted blood-red light like they were three blood-colored gemstones. These three crystals were the Universe Knight Systems with high specifications and possessed powers that were comparable to those of Great Dao Realm experts.
The remaining six crystals were the Universe Knight Systems with lower specifications. Although they were of the version with lower specifications, they also allowed the people equipping them to possess powers that were comparable to top-notch Tiangang Realm experts.
He depleted almost all of the relevant resources and many precious minerals within the three regions to create these nine crystal Mother Boxes.
It was a lot more difficult to manufacture the Universe Knight Systems than Fang Xingjian had imagined. However, after he made repeated modifications to their prowess, they were now a lot stronger than his previous estimations.
‘Although the androids aren’t fully completed, it’s enough to make a move.’
Ten days later, the imperial court gathered a 100,000-man army led by the Crown Princess to head southward to Li Region. They started to recover lost land and wipe out rebellion forces in a bid to unify the lands.
As the imperial court headed south to appease the rebellion, a storm raged through the world. The feudal vassals started moving like battle machines. Under this external pressure, they finally entered an alliance. They listed ten major crimes the Emperor had committed and even came up with a slogan of ‘slashing demonic woman, cleaning out the Emperor’s side’.
Although Liang Bo from Min Region and the three Princes in the south did not send out their troops, they were also shouting as they kept on waving their flags.
Right now, the Crown Princess’ army had already arrived in Li Region. The 100,000-man army broke through easily and took down 13 cities consecutively in the blink of an eye, arriving at the provincial capital—Lihe City. They did not meet any resistance at all on the way.
In the commander’s camp, the Crown Princess read the information in her hands about the ten major crimes and let out a cold laugh without saying a word.
Beside her, Eunuch Wang was filled with righteous indignation as he said, “These rebels are really vile. To think that they would dare to defame His Majesty…”
Although Eunuch Wang did not appear to look too different from how he was previously, there was an additional crystal matter on his forehead. It was as if the crystal had grown out from his skin, giving off a strange but mysterious feeling.
However, it was because of this that as his eyes opened and closed, there was now an additional confidence and prestige in them that surpassed what he had before.
He had clearly been modified by the crystal Mother Box and possessed the Universe Knight System.
“Haha, ever since the ancient times, the people in high positions would always have to come up with an honorable slogan to dupe the lower-tiered soldiers regardless of the battles involved. Isn’t this something very normal?” The Crown Princess said with a smile. “Instruct the rest to set up camp here and start cooking. We’ll just wait for them to come.”
Eunuch Wang asked anxiously, “General, are we not attacking the city? We’ve cleared our way here with great ease and now is the moment when our men’s morales are at their peaks. On the contrary, Lihe City’s Regional Governor Ning Baichuan and Wang Clan’s Wang Daoyuan are now in an anxious state, barely being able to gather soldiers. Their situation is one where they are plagued by both internal and external woes…”
The Crown Princess shook her head and interrupted Eunuch Wang’s words. Her red and moist lips broke into a charming and confident smile, causing even Eunuch Wang to be in a slight daze. He quickly lowered his head. In Eunuch Wang’s heart, this alluring yet powerful woman was someone whom only the Emperor could be a good match for.
