Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1855: Chapter 1823: Xingtian Divine Son

The ministers were fervent, the fighting spirit filled the palace, and both civil officials and military generals were full of longing for establishing meritorious service and becoming founding contributors to the empire.

They were invincible on the battlefield all the way, hence fearless.

King Mountain and King Wei were nothing but defeated generals.

King Zheng, who called himself God’s Son, was even more laughable, even more unbearable than Yu King Yu Yong in the past. If it weren’t for being located in the remote Border Desolate Realm, I don’t know where he would be dead already, just a dry bone in the grave.

The enemies in the whole Domain seemed to be illustrious and formidable, but in fact, they were nothing but people who put up signs to sell their heads.

If we go too slowly, the battle merits will be snatched by others; wouldn’t that be a life-long regret?

”Great King, please dispatch troops immediately!”

The generals kept requesting to battle, like a tide.

A quietness fell.

No answer.

”Dispatch troops?”

Amidst this splendid and fiery scene, Tu Sanyi inexplicably felt a trace of chill. He recalled the scene of Zhou Xiaocui being burned by flames in Kaoshan Village back then.

Obviously, that scene had nothing in common with the current one, but it was inexplicably familiar.

Is the feverish desire for achievements in the ministers’ eyes meant to burn me?

Tu Sanyi was silent for a long time, not answering the ministers’ requests for battle, causing the palace to gradually quiet down, and needle drops could be heard.

The ministers looked at each other, full of confusion.

What happened to the king?

Can’t the wise and farsighted king see this is a great opportunity to strike while the iron is hot?

”The soldiers are too injured to go on an expedition now.”

”Wait for the soldiers to recover and stockpile supplies, then make plans.”

His inexplicable unease made Tu Sanyi speak slowly.

”The king mustn’t!”

”Although our casualties are great, King Wei’s are greater, and with the people’s hearts shaken and the soldiers anxious, now is the time to attack.

If we continue to delay, and they stabilize their footing, it will certainly lead us into greater casualties or even unexpected changes, so please reconsider, Great King...”

A scholar stepped forward, urgently.

This is a great scholar from the Domain, who deeply understands the way of revering the Divine, loves the people, and cannot bear the common people’s suffering in turmoil, so he came out to assist King Tu, achieving great merits and earning great prestige among the ministers, as the Prime Minister of Great Tu.

”Great King, you mustn’t delay!”

Once the great scholar stepped forward, many ministers immediately discouraged and advised earnestly.

This loyal and earnest scene didn’t touch Tu Sanyi at all; instead, the chill in his heart grew increasingly dense as if he saw one fierce ghost after another, roaring to devour him bit by bit.

”Silence!”

”I have my own plans; how could you know?”

Tu Sanyi said coldly.

The ministers quieted down.

They realized the anger of the founding monarch, their hearts trembling in fear, not daring to speak further.

”Great King, you mustn’t...”

Only the great scholar continued to advise bitterly.

”Mr. Fang.”

Tu Sanyi’s eyes flashed fiercely, staring at the benevolent-looking old man.

”Great King, do not be merciful!”

”For the sake of the people, I care not for my own life!”

The great scholar remained fearless, raised his head, and said strongly: ”Your Majesty, for the sake of all the people, please dispatch troops immediately to save the people from fire and water.”

”Thus,”

”Even if I die, I will die without regret.”

His words were forceful and firm.

The ministers were moved, admiring his character.

”Since this is the case,”

”Mr. Fang.”

Tu Sanyi’s heart inexplicably grew violent, unwilling to consider more, calmly: ”Then you go; your family will be taken care of by me, don’t worry.”

If he hesitated earlier, now he was determined.

Great Tu is indeed Great Tu of the Tu Family.

A mere great scholar dared to forcibly twist his will in the name of the righteousness of the world, the will of a founding monarch!

Such a scholar should be eliminated swiftly, or should he leave it to the descendants?

Even though this action might have hidden dangers causing political turbulence, it’s worth it!

”Your Majesty...”

The great scholar was astonished.

”Yes!”

Before he could say anything more, a group of armored guards rushed in from outside the palace.

They unceremoniously gagged the mouth of the old scholar, dragged him out of the palace like a dead dog, and with swift and sharp blade work, they returned with a head full of dirty blood to report.

The ministers trembled relentlessly.

King Tu had always honored talents and treated them with courtesy, even accepting earnest advice and scolding as sincere, not expecting such abrupt fierceness causing dread.

”Gentlemen, any objections?”

Tu Sanyi spoke again.

”We obey the king’s orders!”

The ministers respectfully replied.

...

The ministers dispersed, leaving the palace empty.

Tu Sanyi gazed at the sky, the chill in his heart growing deeper, not alleviated by the death of the great scholar nor the retreat of the ministers, just increasingly cold.

He knew what it was.

The Dragon Qi of the dynasty warning.

The Dragon Qi of the dynasty is warning the Monarch, indicating that a huge danger is approaching, this danger is omnipresent, like a tide, unavoidable.

This almost drove him to lose his sanity.

”Great King, what are you worried about?”

Queen Li came over, softly asked.

”Nothing.”

”The power of Confucianism is too strong, just looking for an excuse to weaken it, to avoid causing turmoil after the founding.”

Tu Sanyi smiled: ”At our level, the greatest danger isn’t external but from within ourselves; as long as we cleanse internally, conquering the world is quite easy.”

”Great King is far-sighted.”

Queen Li said brightly.

The couple shared affectionate moments, and Queen Li departed, leaving the palace to King Tu, as was his habit over the years.

The palace plunged into quiet.

For a long time.

”Wretch.”

Tu Sanyi said coldly.

...

Great Zheng Dynasty.

Amidst endless black and red destiny, stood a palace resembling obsidian, a dragon qi shaped like an unknown barbaric beast roared furiously, countless white bones and blood cut and stacked.

This dynasty, as the ministers of Great Tu said, is even more unbearable than Yu King Yu Yong.

More bloody and brutal, with heavier cannibalistic practices, surpassing Yu King greatly, Yu King had some characteristics of ’progress’ in slave society, but here even the slave society doesn’t exist, like a barbaric wild beast with no civilization, humans like beasts, lions, tigers, wolves, and dogs.

This also led to the unprecedented weakness of Great Zheng Dynasty’s Dragon Qi; even after unifying several World Communities, the dragon qi strength couldn’t reach Harmonization level, barely mid-stage Void Refining level.

Great Zheng Dynasty, to reach today, only had one reason.

Good luck.

The realms were all spreading the legend that King Zheng was blessed by heaven, destined to unify the world.

In the obsidian palace, a black snake with three heads wore a royal robe, sitting on the throne, like a black jade statue, unmoving for ages.

Great Zheng Dynasty had no national affairs.

Local lords ruled locally, gathered during wartime under King Zheng’s command, usually from the country to villages and markets, everything managed individually, without affiliation, extremely simplistic, just following the strongest king.

King Zheng seldom left his palace.

One day, a black hawk resembling black jade flew into the palace, manifesting a half-human half-eagle woman’s figure, kneeling respectfully:

”King, King Tu seems to have sensed danger and is stepping away from control.”
