Chapter 896: Chapter 365: Kingdom of Aolai, Annexed! Renamed as Wu Country!_2

"Go and do it."

Zhao Feng nodded slightly.

With a thought, he once again moved an army of fifty thousand into the city from within the Minor World.

Inside the Minor World.

Besides the hundred thousand Mystic Armor Army.

The remaining camps of the Qin all had a hundred thousand Elite Soldiers, one for cultivation within the Minor World and the other for Zhao Feng’s command.

Subduing a single Ao Lai Kingdom is effortlessly done.

"First annex the Ao Lai Kingdom, then gradually absorb the surrounding mortal nations to establish a foothold."

Zhao Feng had already devised a plan for conquest.

First destroy the Ao Lai Kingdom, secure a footing, and then launch a full-scale attack to annex the surrounding areas.

"Your Highness."

"This is the garrison commander of this city, named Li Tao."

Zhang Ming and several trusted aides led the commander of this Coastal City over.

"L... Little one pays respects to the lord."

The man immediately knelt before Zhao Feng.

"I ask, you answer."

"If not, you die."

Zhao Feng looked at Li Tao and said.

"I shall answer every question truthfully." Li Tao nodded repeatedly.

"Why are there no immortals in the Ao Lai Kingdom?" Zhao Feng directly inquired.

Zhao Feng wasn’t concerned about how much military might the Ao Lai Kingdom possessed.

The mortal army.

A mere dispatch of a thousand Elite Soldiers could suppress them.

Their strength was simply not on the same level.

"To report to the lord."

"Indeed, our Ao Lai Kingdom has no immortals, as the residences of immortal sects are in other capitals. Our Ao Lai Kingdom is small and weak, the nature’s spiritual energy is depleted, and it doesn’t attract true immortal sects to reside here."

"However, every year there are immortals who come to recruit disciples, and annually, thousands of people from the Ao Lai Kingdom achieve immortal fate, gaining entry to the immortal sect and becoming immortals," Li Tao promptly replied.

"Do they come every year?"

"Have they come this year?" Zhao Feng asked directly.

"There are three months until this year’s Immortal Ascension Ceremony," Li Tao quickly replied.

"Where will it be held?" Zhao Feng asked.

"It will be held in the capital."

"At that time, all those under fifteen years old from various parts of the Ao Lai Kingdom will have the opportunity to test their Spirit Root," Li Tao, genuinely terrified, revealed everything.

"You did very well."

Zhao Feng nodded in satisfaction.

"Thank you, my lord, for the compliment."

Li Tao replied, feeling humbled.

"Your Highness."

"With our current speed, we can flatten the Ao Lai Kingdom in half a month."

"Then."

"We can see how this Immortal Ascension Ceremony unfolds."

"And then slaughter that so-called immortal," Zhang Ming sneered.

Hearing this.

Li Tao shivered in fear, looking on in disbelief.

Obviously.

For someone like him, or any mortal on the Eastern Continent, speaking of slaughtering immortals was a taboo.

The divide between immortals and mortals is like a chasm.

Mortals can only revere immortals.

Yet this army intends to slay the immortal.

What a treacherous act?

In front of immortals, the so-called kings are mere ants.

To slay an immortal!

If this spreads, the entire clan would face calamity.

Immortals are not to be desecrated.

"Let’s eliminate this kingdom first," Zhao Feng said slowly.

"How should we regard the name of this kingdom?" Zhang Ming respectfully asked.

"Have you not noticed that the people of this kingdom and our Huaxia Ethnicity are no different?" Zhao Feng smiled faintly.

"Your Highness."

"Could it be that the entire human race in the Immortal Realm shares the same roots with our Huaxia?" Zhang Ming asked in surprise.

"It should be the case."

"However, the human race of this realm should also have some branches."

"In summary, treat the human race on this Eastern Continent as our kin," Zhao Feng stated.

"I understand." Zhang Ming nodded.

Coming back to his senses.

Zhang Ming glanced sideways, preparing to leave with Li Tao, but upon seeing Li Tao’s expression, he laughed: "What? Why do you have such an expression?"

"Frightened?"

"Don’t worry."

"Since you have surrendered, our soldiers won’t harm you; you can peacefully serve the people from now on."

Li Tao trembled and said, "Gen... General, I know you won’t kill me, but... but your words just now desecrated immortals, aren’t... aren’t you afraid?"

"Desecrate immortals?"

Hearing this, Zhang Ming paused for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Immortals are just stronger cultivators, how is it desecration?"

"And if they dare to come, the sword in my hand can cut them down." Zhang Ming said coldly.

"Are you... are you Immortals?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"But how can Immortals have an army? And even attack my Mortal world country?" Li Tao looked on in confusion.

"Because we are not Immortals." Zhang Ming smiled slightly, unwilling to say more.

"Let the soldiers expedite the conquest."

"Spread out the attack."

"Since the mortals of the Immortal Realm are so terrified of Immortals, our army can showcase some Martial Mystic Powers, and the mortal army will surrender without a fight."

Seeing Li Tao’s fear of the Immortals, Zhao Feng immediately changed his strategy.

They fear Immortals like Heavenly Gods, clearly etched in their bones, deep in their souls.

Thus.

The display of Qin’s Martial Mystic Powers is equivalent in destructive power to the Immortals, and the intimidation it brings will not be small.

"Understood, my lord."

Zhang Ming immediately accepted the order.

Time flies!

In just a few days.

No surprise.

The location of the Royal Capital of the Kingdom of Aolai.

The city gates were wide open.

The Aolai King, leading his civil and military officials, came outside the city, all kneeling humbly and respectfully.

As Wei Quan walked slowly, a touch of helplessness appeared on his face.

And behind him.

Many elite soldiers felt the same.

In a full seven days.

Originally, all the elite soldiers believed that entering the Immortal Realm would inevitably lead to a fierce battle, one that could unfold with sharp exchanges.

But that was really overthinking it.

Since their Crown Prince gave the order, displaying some Martial Mystic Powers for intimidation.

Everything changed.

As soon as they arrived at a place, the Kingdom of Aolai would open its gates to surrender directly, without needing any action.

And now.

Directly arrived at the Royal Capital of the Kingdom of Aolai.

"Immortals above."

"This humble one is Chen Dao, the King of Aolai, leading all officials to pay respect to the Immortals."

The leading Aolai King knelt on the ground and said fearfully.

"Surrender just like this?" Wei Quan said helplessly.

"With the descent of Immortals, our Kingdom of Aolai is willing to surrender."

"Having Immortals oversee the Kingdom of Aolai will certainly make it more prosperous." The Aolai King said humbly.

Upon seeing this.

Wei Quan resigned himself to saying nothing more.

"Enter the city, station yourselves."

Wei Quan ordered immediately.

"Yes."

The elite soldiers responded in unison.

Orderly they proceeded into the city.

Along the streets, the soldiers and people of the Kingdom of Aolai were kneeling on the ground, exceedingly humble.

They gazed at the Daqin Elite Soldiers as if looking at Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, filled with reverence.

"Leave a thousand soldiers to guard this capital."

"The rest of the soldiers continue to attack the states surrounding the Kingdom of Aolai."

"Conquer as much as you can before the Immortal Ascension Ceremony."

As the voice fell.

Zhao Feng’s figure appeared out of nowhere beside Wei Quan.

"It’s truly an Immortal."

"This humble one pays respect to the Immortal."

When they saw Zhao Feng appear out of nowhere, the Aolai King and the surrounding Aolai officials all bowed reverently.

Seeing this.

Zhao Feng shook his head helplessly.

In the past.

The Human Race was self-reliant.

In ancient times, they relied on not respecting Immortals and Gods, not following the arrangements of Immortals and Gods.

But now.

In the Eastern Continent, even throughout the Earth Immortal Realm, the Human Race has been controlled by Immortals and Gods, the fear of Immortals deeply rooted within them.

Self-reliance seems to have disappeared.

"With such a Human Race, it’s no wonder their Qi Fortune has been seized by the Immortal Sect, controlled by Immortals and Gods."

"Countless years of being raised and enslaved have made them lose their fighting spirit, trembling before Immortals and Gods, devoid of any will to resist."

"To bring change, only through spreading martial ways, only by slaying Immortals and Gods in front of them."

"Only when they see the Immortals they revere die before them will they understand the resilience of our Human Race."

Looking at these humble people, Zhao Feng held a hope in his heart.

All of this, can be changed!

"Everyone stand up."

Zhao Feng commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes."

The Aolai King immediately stood up, bowing his body, extremely humble.

"From today onwards, the Kingdom of Aolai shall no longer exist, it will be renamed Wu Country." Zhao Feng declared solemnly.
