The Peerless Emperor

Chapter 492: Chapter 493 Unity is Strength (6th Update)

As Lin Qian’s voice faded, a golden aura suddenly burst from the center of the array hub space of the one hundred and fifty warships, enveloping all the Imperial Army units aboard the Yellow Dragon.

At this moment, Wang Qiongxing, Bade, and the other seven clan elders from the Four Clans were staring dumbfounded at the Imperial Army soldiers aboard the warships, as a golden light emerged around them.

Under the illumination of this golden light, the already formidable armor and military equipment of the Imperial Army seemed to be cast in gold, exuding an unmatched dominance.

“Your Majesty, what’s going on?” Bade’s astonished voice echoed in the temporary Tactics Hall.

At this moment, Lin Qian’s attention was focused on the eighteenth warship on the right flank, where a small city had appeared.

The virtual scene clearly presented the battlefield before him, and the light-force soul cannons on the warships launched beams of condensed white soul power, fiercely bombarding the approaching Black Corner Army and causing small-scale explosions.

The arrow nets formed by Qiang Yu’s and Qingyu’s arrows completely slaughtered the enemy before they even got close.

Among them, two military commanders from the Qiang Yu and Qingyu military professions watched the front with grim smiles, continuously shooting their distinctively styled arrows and causing heavy casualties.

The Pan Shield held firm beside them, while the other troops had already flanked from the side, providing cover and successfully planting the Array virus.

Bade, responsible for this battleground, hurried over after learning there was a war against the city, wanting to help.

But upon his arrival, he was shocked to find that the situation did not require his assistance at all.

On the side of the Huaxia Empire, it was nothing short of a one-sided slaughter. The Black Corner Army was being compressed by the Imperial Army on both wings, forced to remain in the direct path of Qiang Yu and Qingyu.

And the cost of staying in that area was that they were being shot to death like live targets, unable to resist.

Just then, a golden aura suddenly appeared on their bodies, and their strength unexpectedly surged. In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the enemy Black Corner Army had completely collapsed.

Therefore, Bade could not suppress the shock in his heart and asked Lin Qian for an explanation.

“The city is fully clad in golden armor!” Lin Qian replied subconsciously as he heard Bade’s inquiry.

“Huh?” Lin Qian’s response left Bade stunned, unable to comprehend its meaning.

At the sound of Bade’s surprised murmur, Lin Qian then realized and slapped his forehead. He had not used this national war mode for a long time and, caught up in the moment, had subconsciously blurted out the nickname of this Emperor Skill, “This move is ‘Sweeping Command’, once I deploy it, it can enhance the combat power of the Empire’s citizens, but it will disappear after ten days and then cannot be used again for another three days.”

Although Bade received Lin Qian’s answer, the shock inside him was still difficult to conceal.

He had never imagined that head-on warfare could be conducted like this.

In the past, the wars they fought were purely a matter of having more people and greater strength on one side, and the two sides would clash together, creating a chaotic scene.

Usually, after the war ended, both sides would suffer heavy casualties. There had never been a situation with almost zero casualties like on Lin Qian’s side.

Indeed, the Imperial Army of the Huaxia Empire was stronger, but in Bade’s view, what really caused this terrifying outcome was suppression from every aspect.

There’s no need to say much about strength. The Imperial Army of the Huaxia Empire was incredibly strong, and in his entire life, Bade had never seen an army of hundreds of thousands with the same physique, soul power, strength, and aura, almost as if they were born from the same mother.

Could it be possible?

Not only that, but the Soul Devices they were equipped with had to be better than the enemy’s, and as for warship-mounted soul cannon, a weapon of war, the opponent was one thing, but damn, he hadn’t even seen one himself. After witnessing its power, he was frightened out of his wits.

However, in his view, the soul cannon also had its drawbacks. Although the Soul Power it concentrated had truly formidable strength, its attack speed was extremely slow. An attack comparable to the Life and Death Realm could even be dodged by someone in the Sky Breaking Realm.

A powerful attack necessarily required the sacrifice of something.

But now the enemy was constrained by the Imperial Army, unable to dodge, they could only be cornered within a limited battlefield and used as shooting targets.

Complementing each other, it wasn’t just individual strength that was formidable, but the most important aspect of achieving such effects was to utilize each other’s strengths and cooperate wholeheartedly.

“While pursuing personal strength, one must also learn to lead one’s kin and advance together.” It was at this moment that Lin Qian’s words transmitted from a token in Bade’s hand, “The strength of one person isn’t true power. When everyone around you is strong, you’ll find yourself invincible in the world.”

“If only I were powerful and without this mighty Imperial Army, how long do you think it would take me to conquer Black Corner Country?”

Watching Bade’s gradually enlightening expression in the virtual scenario, Lin Qian revealed a satisfied smile on his face.

After all, they were people from two different worlds. In his former life, cooperation was everywhere, and advancing together was common knowledge.

However, in this world, which revered martial strength, there was too much emphasis on individual prowess, with all attention focused on enhancing personal power.

Even forming powers was merely for self-service, or for carrying on one’s mantle, or maybe just out of pure boredom.

For example, the three elders that Lin Qian himself lost, who had originally established Double Pole Palace, Carefree Sect, and Blood Spirit Valley, did so purely out of boredom.

However, it wasn’t enough for him alone to know this; Lin Qian had to instill this idea into the minds of everyone in the Huaxia Empire, especially those in this world who joined the Empire.

“Your Majesty, I understand.” Combining everything he saw before him, Bade nodded in profound agreement.

Seeing this, Lin Qian pushed forward, closing the virtual scenario of this battlefield, his brow lifting slightly: “Verbal persuasion successful!”

After speaking, Lin Qian continued to look forward, opening a panel showing the consumption of the Imperial Army’s Soul Power in the battle that had just occurred.

“Not bad, not much consumed.” Lin Qian nodded in satisfaction. The nine dragons beneath him rotated in a circle, turning to his back.

A tactical map emerged on the right side of the center line of the Sky Soaring Battleship formation, the dense mass of red dots in front causing Lin Qian to frown.

The distribution of the cities in the Ancient Forest World was completely based on the mountain ranges within it.

Those dense red dots were appearing because there were many mountains, leading to many modified Mountain Cities.

“Liu Chaocao, you’re responsible for forcing them into battle.” Lin Qian’s will directly transmitted to one of the warships.

On that warship, a languid figure stretched lazily, slowly rising and walking towards the deck: “By your command, Your Majesty. I guarantee they will come out of the city to fight.”
