Chapter 519: Chapter 520: Not Accepting Surrender
From the time the Huaxia Empire declared war on the entire Southern Domain, throughout every single battle from start to finish, no other power in the Southern Domain ever heard of the Huaxia Empire losing a battle.
Thatâs right, not even one.
Though many forces in the Southern Domain had already thought of countermeasures against the Huaxia Empireâs soul cannons, the news that always came out was that these forces had been wiped out.
Moreover, the specific details of the battles were never known, and those who secretly tried to investigate couldnât get anywhere near the battlefield.
Once they approached the fierce battlefield of the Huaxia Empire, a figure would emerge from the shadows and silently eliminate them.
This situation, as described by those who were lucky enough to survive, involved a voice from within a black hood emerging from the shadows to harvest their lives.
They could only watch from a great distance as the Huaxia Empireâs mighty warships advanced forward, signaling their victory in that battle.
Advance, push forward.
Those observing from afar saw only this spectacle from the Huaxia Army.
The majestic Imperial Army, the warships dominating that space, and the fearsome War Beast Army.
For them, there was never such a thing as retreat; they didnât need to retreat.
Because, in their view, there were only the words âvictoryâ; failure simply did not exist.
This was the strength of the Huaxia Empire, overwhelmingly dominant!
If he didnât have the corresponding strength, how could Lin Qian possibly wage war on the entire Southern Domain?
Despite the current Lin Qian being very domineering, he was not foolishâif he didnât have absolute certainty, he would definitely not take action.
Also, regardless of the situation the Huaxia Empire faced, even if the opponentâs array aura was weak,
unless using assault type warships, they would first let the gale deploy array virus soul devices, launching them into the array to corrode it.
Absolutely cautious, meticulous, even with an absolute advantage, they would still unleash the strongest combat power and the most standard array coordination to fully demonstrate their strength.
Although the number of the Huaxia Empireâs forces was much smaller than their enemies, their overall strength was certainly three to five times that of their opponents.
Even if one branch of the Huaxia Army was twice as strong as their opponents, they would never act rashly but rather wait for nearby reinforcements to arrive and reach three times the strength of their opponents before taking action.
This was why the Huaxia Empire was victorious in a hundred battles.
They absolutely did not engage in evenly matched battles; although they were few, they valued quality over quantity, and having superior strength was sufficient.
It can be said that every war of the Huaxia Army nowadays was purely about overpowering the opponent.
However, this was exactly the effect Lin Qian wanted.
âYour Majesty, thirty forces from the Southern Domain have already come to surrender to the Huaxia Empire, and this number is still increasing,â
Lin Qian sat in the most luxurious room aboard Renhuang Martial Emperor, cultivating with his eyes closed. Hearing Zhuge Mingâs report, he slowly opened his eyes.
âSurrender?â Lin Qian opened his eyes, shook his head slowly, and said to Zhuge Ming, âTo be a man, one must finish what he starts. Having declared war on the entire Southern Domain to bring it under the Huaxia Empire as territory, we must fight to the end and conquer all the territory before itâs considered complete.â
âSince I am the Emperor, I must set an example for all the citizens of the Huaxia Empire and not go back on my word.â
âTell the other powers in the Southern Domain that the Huaxia Empire does not accept surrender. If they wish to survive, they should dissolve their own powers, present their territories to the Huaxia Empire, and swear a soul-devouring oath of loyalty. Apart from that, no form of surrender will be accepted.â
After saying this, Lin Qian continued to enter a state of cultivation and began to cultivate again.
What a jokeâpreviously they looked down on the Huaxia Empire, sending people to observe and see if there was a chance to profit from the chaos.
Now, seeing the terrifying strength of the Huaxia Empire, they were ready to act cowardly, thinking of offering some token gesture for peace?
An absolute joke; although Lin Qian intended to conserve the Huaxia Empireâs resources for future plans, it did not mean he valued the worthless tokens offered by these Southern Domain powers.
At this moment, within the territories of the Huaxia Empire, it was nearly evening, and the citizens of the empire left their houses with stools, heading to the streets in front of their houses to enjoy the cooler air, at the same time looking up at the Soul Vision Machine.
Now, for the Huaxia People of the Huaxia Empire, those who were free would tune into Huaxia Broadcast every evening on time.
In a world where entertainment options were scarce, Huaxia Broadcast had become a wonderful pastime for them.
âPeanuts, melon seeds, Huaxia Refreshing Beer, the last truck, finish selling and watch the broadcast, hurry up,â at this time, the voices of itinerant vendors could be heard everywhere. âRenhuang Martial Emperor has personally ordered the Heavenly Art Department to develop these new items, satisfying cravings and quenching thirst, very fun and tasty.â
âTwo bottles of Refreshing Beer here, and a bag of giggly melon seeds.â
âWhy donât they have Huaxiaâs Wang Duobao today?â
âBuddy, Wang Duobao is not only tasty but also helps cultivation below the Nirvana Realm, and itâs not expensive. Do you think there would be any left now?â
âWhat about the crispy chips?â
âIf you want chips, go buy them early tomorrow. Now, there are only happy giggle peanuts, cheery laugh melon seeds, and Refreshing Beer.â
Such conversations were common across the territories of the Huaxia Empire. Meanwhile, the screen on the Soul Vision Machine in the sky suddenly burst into light.
Nine Golden Dragons surged onto the screen, encircling a planet as the words âHuaxia Broadcastâ gracefully appeared.
Familiar male and female voicesâone magnetic and the other sweet and gentleâinterspersed and transmitted from above.
âToday, joyful news from the frontlines: Purple Cloud Sect, Red Flame Hall, and Liu Ren Sect have been successfully breached by the Empire, and the Empireâs territories have now expanded by ten regions.â
âRenhuang Martial Emperor has decreed no surrender from any power is to be accepted. The Emperor has declared that having a beginning and an end, and following through are the traditional virtues of the Huaxia Empire. Since we have declared war on the entire Southern Domain and promised to conquer it, we must not go back on our word.â
Huaxia Broadcast relayed this news, and the Huaxia People of the Huaxia Empire watched with great interest.
They had initially worried, facing war with the entire Southern Domain, whether they could really win.
But the news transmitted every evening through Huaxia Broadcast only spoke of areas the Huaxia Empire had conquered, never broadcasting defeat.
âTomorrow, the Huaxia Army of the Empire will launch simultaneous attacks from twenty-seven states on the outskirts of Yuheng Territory!â Just then, the words transmitted through the Soul Vision Machine thrilled all the citizens of the Huaxia Empire.
The Huaxia Empire was finally making its move against Yuheng Territory!
