Section 6: Founding the Nation

"Found a nation?" Upon hearing this, Chu Yun's brows rose slightly, and he immediately understood why everyone was so excited.

Ever since the Ancient Five Virtue King had fallen one after another, the All-Star Archipelago had shattered into fragments, plunging into civil strife and turmoil, with countless island forces carving out their own territories.

Now, as the descendants of the Five Virtue King, the Shu Clan had accomplished the monumental feat of unifying the entire archipelago. Yet they had not immediately founded a nation.

They had not done so then because the war had only just ended, and every aspect remained unstable. Now, after this period of management, they had digested the fruits of victory and stabilized their regime. The time was ripe.

Yan Que had publicly put forward this proposal not long ago.

But at the time, many believed that the Shu Clan lacked powerful experts to hold the fort, and that it was still too early to found a nation.

The foundation for any force to establish a nation lay in two things: a powerful elite army, and the number of experts it possessed.

The Shu Clan did not lack elite troops. Not only did they not lack them, but because years of civil war had never ceased, they actually possessed a richer variety of elite troops than most island nations.

The Flying Monkey Elite Soldiers, Spinning Shield Elite Soldiers, Black Crow Elite Troops, Flintfire Elite Soldiers, Hua Arrow Elite Soldiers, and Night Rain Elite Soldiers were all specialized forces with their own distinct traits, suited to particular battlefields.

The Copper Bell Elite Soldiers created by Chu Yun, thanks to their low cost and ease of formation, had stirred widespread interest throughout the military circles of the entire Star Continent.

But the Shu Clan lacked truly powerful experts.
