Chapter 1071 - Circumstances (2/2)
“Your Highness, things are different now. The imperial court is of one heart, and the Emperor has the support from the people…”
“Your Highness, His Majesty has suppressed the lands with great power, and the people are all devoted to him. He has earned great prestige. These weren’t things he obtained with his authority, but it’s heaven’s will for him to have them…”
“Your Highness, the current Emperor excels in both literacy and martial arts. It’s the will of both the heavens and of the people for him to assume the throne and rule over the lands from the Divine Capital.”
Seeing his many subjects stepping out to advise him to surrender, the cold smile on Prince Ding’s face became increasingly intense. At the thought of how these people had incited him to rebel a couple months back, the killing intent in his heart became very strong.
‘Excellent, excellent. All of you are looking down on me? You feel that the young and ignorant Fang Xuan will definitely win this?
‘ I’ll 2 let you know that all of you are wrong! The entire world is wrong!
‘I’m the one destined for the throne!’
With the Three Mountains Four Peaks’ support, Prince Ding still chose to hang on and not surrender. He even secretly wore dragon robes, an Emperor’s crown, and addressed himself like how an Emperor would. In his subjects’ opinions, he was not far from his death.
While Fang Xingjian’s strength kept on surging as more lands were reclaimed and a large amount of land and population once again returned to the imperial court’s rule, his various resources and Dragon Qi continued to surge incessantly.
The first thing was the armies under him. Just the number of members of the Sharp Swords army had already surpassed 10,000.
A total of 30 Disha Realm experts were equipped with the lower specification version of the Universe Knight System.
The Demon Sect’s Zhao Yinglan, Fu Daoxian, and an Elder at the Disha Realm were equipped with the higher specification version of the Universe Knight System. As for the other five Tiangang Realm experts who had come to seek refuge, Fang Xingjian did not trust them and thus did not give them any equipment.
With these, the imperial court’s military force was already at the very top. After witnessing these super high technological weapons, all the ambitious people across the world could only suppress their ambitions. Other than the three Princes in the south who were still trying to hang on with great difficulty, no one else dared to openly go up against the imperial court.
However, more and more people turned their gazes onto the super weapons that the imperial court had developed. Countless people threw in a lot of money, wanting to obtain secrets concerning these weapons.
Even the warriors from the Sharp Swords troop would receive a lot of monetary and beauty temptations daily.
However, with the exception of Fang Xingjian, the other people in this world would only know how to use these weapons at most. Therefore, it was meaningless regardless of how they tried to get the information from.
Aside from the military forces, the Dragon Qi in Fang Xingjian’s body also grew at an abnormally rapid rate as more and more land and people were recovered. In addition to the modern society modifications he implemented, he won over the people’s hearts and his cultivation of the Royal Heavenly Great Art improved by leaps and bounds.
Fang Xingjian also had takeaways from studying Blood Sea, heaven-blessed cultivators, and the Great Dao’s Testimony.
In the underground arsenal in the city’s outskirts…
Right now, in the underground arsenal, the occupied space and land area had surpassed the size of the Divine Capital it was next to. The number of densely-packed robotic cuttlefish was even more horrifying. It had surpassed 50 million in number.
Even if they had been specially used for production and manufacturing, they would also be sufficient to help one conquer and unify the world if they were brought out to be used for battles.
