Battle Against the Gulei Kingdom! (Seeking Collection!)

Swish!

Xu Nian'an turned around immediately after speaking.

He had no patience to wait for a group of people who had betrayed him to change their minds.

Because there was no need.

He did not doubt those he employed, and he did not employ those he doubted.

If someone questioned him, he would simply kill them and replace them with the next batch.

"B-but, Your Majesty!"

Before Xu Fu could continue, Long Xiaoyao reached out and stopped him.

"Are you questioning the King's decision?"

Hearing Long Xiaoyao's words, Xu Fu swallowed hard, and thinking of the man's strength, he retreated helplessly.

However, as he looked in Xu Nian'an's direction, a hint of fear crept into his eyes.

The little prince was no longer the little prince he once knew.

He had changed so much; it wasn't just his decisive and ruthless nature, but also the group of mysterious Spirit Master experts by his side, whom he didn't recognize at all.

Now, he was no longer needed by his side.

The national flag of the Great Ming Kingdom was quickly produced and sent to various locations, and Starry Sky City was renamed Ming City.

Xu Nian'an completed the subsequent steps.

He laid the late King and Queen to rest.

Clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter!

Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats rang out.

Clatter!

An Imperial Guard clad in heavy armor dismounted and bowed respectfully.

"It's bad, Your Majesty, it's bad! The army of the Gulei Kingdom has completely surrounded our Ming City."

As Xu Nian'an's direct subordinates, the Imperial Guards had been stationed across the land to suppress unrest and secure Ming City. They had received word of Xu Nian'an's successful ascension and the renaming of the country to Ming the moment it happened.

They all had the merit of protecting the dragon and were just waiting for the new King to ascend the throne and reward them.

Now, the sudden arrival of the Gulei Kingdom's army had shaken them to their core.

"S-surrounded?"

Xu Nian'an slapped his forehead, cursing silently.

He had been wondering if he had forgotten something.

It turned out to be the matter of the Gulei Kingdom.

Previously, the joy of awakening his three-life martial soul, completing his ascension, and privately discovering his innate full spirit power had gone to his head.

Xu Nian'an had thought this was just a standard start—parents sacrificed to the heavens, and a cheat-code opening.

He hadn't expected there to be a challenge.

However, it didn't really seem like much of a challenge.

Thinking of the Holy Spirit Sect at his disposal, Xu Nian'an couldn't wait to open his system.

Supreme Empire System!

Host: Xu Nian'an.

Age: Six years old.

Martial Souls: Dragon Emperor Sword, Sun, Moon.

Spirit Power: Level 10 (Innate full spirit power!)

Factions: Holy Spirit Sect! One hundred thousand Imperial Guards!

Holy Spirit Sect: Supreme Elder (Not summoned!)

Sect Master (Not summoned)... High Priest... (1/1)

Elder (Not summoned)... Deacon (Twenty-four)...

Envoy (Forty-eight)... (Ninety-six)

One Limit Douluo, High Priest, Hand of the Nation (Long Xiaoyao), twenty-four Spirit Douluos, forty-eight Spirit Saints, ninety-six Spirit Emperors.

Seeing the basic information pop up on the system, Xu Nian'an stood frozen in place.

Holy crab!!!

"System, are you messing with me?"

"Which era of the Holy Spirit Sect is this weak? Only one Titled Douluo? Are you trying to send me off with scraps?"

To be honest, Xu Nian'an was truly startled when he saw the message popped up by the system.

Only one Titled Douluo—was there some kind of mistake?

He didn't realize it until he looked, but once he did, Xu Nian'an felt a wave of regret wash over him.

[Ding, the novice gift pack provided by the system is sufficient to solve all the host's difficulties and establish a foothold among the numerous empires and kingdoms on the continent. If the host desires other characters, please complete missions to obtain them.]

[Ding, main quest triggered: Demonstrate the majesty of the kingdom. The Great Ming Kingdom brooks no violation. Pit-kill the two hundred thousand enemy troops of the Gulei Kingdom to warn the world!]

One hundred thousand against two hundred thousand?

How is he supposed to fight that?

He wasn't some military genius. Fighting a larger force with a smaller one—it was double the size, a full two times! Soldiers weren't gods; they could die too...

Wait.

Xu Nian'an's head buzzed.

Right... that's it.

The armies of this era weren't the armies of ten thousand years later, equipped with soul guidance devices and soul masters.

The armies of this time were just groups of ordinary people who couldn't cultivate and possessed no soul power.

A sudden spark of hope ignited in Xu Nian'an's heart.

"Elder Long."

"I will leave the matter regarding the Gulei Kingdom to you and your Holy Spirit Sect."

As he said this, Xu Nian'an narrowed his eyes.

Long Xiaoyao and the Holy Spirit Sect might be able to defeat the Gulei Kingdom's army.

However, they couldn't prevent the enemy from fleeing, and the mission to pit-kill two hundred thousand troops was right there.

Xu Nian'an could not afford to give up.

Swish~

"I will lead the Holy Spirit Sect to repel the enemy forces."

As soon as the words fell, Long Xiaoyao's figure flashed and instantly vanished from where he stood.

If Xu Nian'an remembered correctly, in the setting of The Unrivaled Tang Sect, a level 98 Super Douluo could destroy an entire city in a fit of rage.

If that were the case for a Limit Douluo...

It seemed two hundred thousand wasn't actually that many. Even an army of a million probably wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

Is this the charm of power?

He had to admit, Xu Nian'an was somewhat tempted.

He couldn't wait to absorb soul rings and start cultivating.

However, now was not the time for him to absorb soul rings and break through to become a Soul Master.

The current problem was how he could reasonably manage to pit-kill two hundred thousand troops and complete the system's mission.

The items provided by the system were indeed beyond reproach. It might seem like a small amount, but that was only because Xu Nian'an had read too many novels.

He shouldn't underestimate Titled Douluos. One had to realize that Titled Douluos were currently few and far between; even the weakest, the Poison Douluo, could become an honored guest of the Heaven Dou Empire.

An ordinary Titled Douluo was already among the top combat forces on the current Douluo Continent.

That was to say nothing of a Limit Douluo.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wei Kun, along with the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Personnel... and the nine clans, totaling over twelve thousand five hundred people, have all been apprehended. From their homes, we have seized assets and wealth valued at nine point five million gold soul coins."

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian'an's pupils contracted sharply.

Nine point five million—damn it, that was nine point five million! One had to know that the current Great Ming treasury held no more than one million gold soul coins.

They were truly wealthier than the nation itself.

But now was not the time for Xu Nian'an to complete side quests.

Thinking of all the parasites within his kingdom, Xu Nian'an felt his teeth itch with anger. It was fortunate that they had all been dug out.

Otherwise, who knows how much longer they would have been sucking his blood.

"Xu Yi, take fifty thousand Imperial Guards and in a moment..."

Xu Nian'an found a deacon of the Holy Spirit Sect and caught up with Long Xiaoyao, who was preparing to move out.

In the Gulei Kingdom's military camp.

"Woooo-aaaaah~!!"

A series of strange sounds suddenly erupted, and three seconds later, the tent fell silent.

Hearing the commotion from the main tent, a soldier lunged inside, and the next instant, a cry of alarm rang out across the encampment.

"It's bad, it's bad! The King is dead!"

BOOM!

Yet, a ghostly silence hung over the camp; no one answered his cry.

"Heh heh heh, you're too late. Now, you are the only one left alive in the Gulei Kingdom's camp."
