Omnipotent Husband System

Chapter 402  Scary Military Prowess.

Hao Ren issued the decree and the military was gathered. The entire Crescent Moon Empire turned into a war factory. The blacksmiths began to forge armors and swords. The spirit vessels were refitted, and high level arrays were inscribed upon them. The atmosphere in the empire had taken a sharp turn. 
While the soldiers were happy that they will finally get to fight, the families of those in the military weren't. Hao Ren was reading a few reports when Ye Yue walked over and said, "Big brother, it seems that the people are in distress." 
Hao Ren sighed and replied, "It is never about those who leave but the ones who are left behind." 
He picked up a quill and wrote down a letter on it. Then he gave it to Ye Yue and said, "Have this read to everyone. This is my speech, I would have done it myself but at this moment, there are many things I need to look after. I will beg them for forgiveness later on." 
Ye Yue nodded and she carried out the letter. The copies of the letters were delivered to all the governors and was read to all the people, and Hao Ren had stated, "Even though it pains me much, but I have to ask the people to come together and go across the ocean to deal with the enemy that is eyeing our home, our peace, and our lives. 
I know that you all want peace, but sometimes, the price of peace is paid in blood. I don't wish to force my brothers and sisters into the furnace of war, but I have no other option but to ask them to come forward and defend the future of our children..." 
The speech calmed the people and they realized that it was important for the military to take action. Hao Ren was strong and they had no doubt that he would personally lead the charge, but the fact still stood, he was alone. He was one man who might be able to deal with the strongest person in the enemy camp, however, he would still be one man. 
They understood that he wasn't calling forward his people to die for him, but to watch his back. To make sure that he is not taken advantage of as he fought with the enemy. After this, five days passed. Hao Ren stood dressed in his famous Titan armor, and watched the massive army. 
There were seven hundred thousand soldiers in the military, all standing in different quadrants, neatly lined up behind their senior officers. Xiao Mei had designed this military system, and all the people who joined were volunteers. 
Behind Hao Ren stood the Ye Generals, and General Hu Baihe. The young man said, "There are seven hundred thousand of you, and we have seventy major cities in the empire. We will pick a lottery and seventy thousand of you will be assigned to these seventy cities to defend them randomly, any doubts or complaints?" 
None of the soldiers spoke, they knew it was important to guard the house as well. Even the weakest soldier in the military was a Dao Integration realm cultivator. They were considerably strong and were led by the commanders in the Star Annihilation realm. 
After the assignment of the guardian forces. Hao Ren said, "We also need protection from those who are on the same landmass, so thirty thousand of you would guard the borders. Be ready to react at a moment's notice. Do you hear me?" 
"Yes, Your Majesty!" 
The soldiers echoed together and then thirty thousand more were left behind to guard the borders.
Then Hao Ren divided the remaining six hundred thousand soldiers into two groups, he said, "If the first wave faces casualties, the second wave will reinforce them and turn the tides." 
With that, he led the military out. The sky was covered with huge spirit vessels, one bigger than the other. The people saw the sight and they clench their fists. Many of them had their children, brothers, or husbands on board these ships. The Crescent Moon Empire was very united and they hated when any outsider tried to move in and step over their heads. The Biron nation attacked twice, and this time they had to avenge the humiliating words spoken by the crown prince the last time. 
Hao Ren sat on the bow of a big spirit vessel and his eyes were closed. Hu Baihe approached him and asked, "Your Majesty, why are we fighting them?" 
The young man replied, "They think we are weak, and they keep on trying to attack us, as the closest target. I just want them to know that the Crescent Moon Empire is not a place where they can just waltz in. If they want to be respectful, I will let them in, but such arrogance and violent behavior will not be tolerated."
Hu Baihe asked, "You don't intend to conquer them?" 
The young man opened his eyes and asked, "Conquer them and do what? Deal with the internal cleaning issues? I have better things to do. My children can use my guidance to cultivate and grow stronger." 
Hu Baihe asked, "Why not introduce someone else as a ruler there?" 
Hao Ren looked at her and asked, "Do you want to recommend a name?" 
Hu Baihe was surprised and asked, "If I did, would you take it?" 
Hao Ren shrugged and said, "I will ask the others to give out names, and then after an examination I will decide who is a better candidate to be placed in the position of that much power. If this person revolted, then the one who nominated them will also get punished with capital crime." 
Hu Baihe was shocked and asked, "What do you mean by this? How is it the nominator's fault if the candidate revolts?" 
Hao Ren smiled and replied, "In the world of cultivation, everyone tests everything. As a nominator you should have this much grasp of your candidate, otherwise, what is the point of your insights? Why nominate anyone if you aren't going to benefit from it? Don't tell me you have turned soft, General Hu." 
Hu Baihe was shocked, she did not expect Hao Ren to say such stuff, but then again, he was still the same old guy who spoke candidly. His words made her rethink her proposal. 
… 
The king of Biron was standing before his military as well. About five hundred thousand and his eyes were red from rage. He said, "A few weaklings decided to use tricks and killed our brothers and sisters, and they have the guts to challenge the Biron nation for a war. I ask you, do you think we should kill these people?" 
The soldiers raised their spears and then stomped them on the ground as they yelled, "Kill! Kill! Kill!" 
The momentum was just rising when suddenly the war cries calmed down. The King of Biron frowned, and suddenly he turned around, only to see a fleet of spirit vessels approaching them. The military had been gathered at the coasts, and they were just about to charge out. The sudden arrival of these vessels shocked them. 
Suddenly one of the generals who survived the flames from Hao Ren yelled, "Your Majesty! This is the murderer of His Highness the Crown Prince." 
The king trained his gaze onto Hao Ren, who stood up from the bow of the spirit vessel, and stepped in the void only to vanish from his spot and appear twenty meters away from the King. The young man raised his hand and the spirit vessels stopped moving ahead. Soon, the soldiers disembarked and lined up behind him along with the Ye generals and Hu Baihe. 
The tension was rising in the air, and the King of Biron said, "To think you would have the guts to come here in person after what you have done to my son. Ballsy." 
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "The ballsy one among both of us is you. I killed an entire fleet of your naval forces, and I slayed your crown prince, even then you have the guts to rally the military. You are the ballsy one King Biron." 
The King clenched his fist and asked, "Who the hell are you?" 
His voice was calm but his aura was accumulating. However, Hao Ren wasn't bothered by this, he asked, "Why did you attack my nation? Did you think it would be a walk in the park? Did you not learn that the two worlds only merge together when the average cultivation potential is the same? How did you conclude that you are stronger than us?"
King Biron was at a loss, he truly didn't think that the other party was significantly stronger than them, and they just wanted to launch a conquest and capture new territory. Hao Ren shook his head and said, "Men, charge up!" 
The people behind him changed into a cascading formation and they all held something like a machine gun, at this moment, they were charging them up by channeling their spiritual energies inside them. 
Hao Ren said, "This is the newest weapon we have designed, thank you for being our testing targets." 
He then said, "Fire." 
The guns fired spiritual energy bullets and it was akin to a thunderstorm at the coast of Biron.
