"That's simple. Strengthen border patrols. Anyone who dares to cross the border without permission will be punished for treason. Not only will the fugitives die, but their entire family will also be implicated."
"As long as we are ruthless enough, we have nothing to fear from these lowly people who refuse to bow down."
Ren Changsheng said in a chilling tone.
The Asura Sacred King remained silent for a long time, unable to think of a better solution, and could only nod.
"Alright! Then we'll do as you say."
This is up to you. We need to speed things up and take down the Manju Imperial Court as soon as possible.
"What's wrong? Are those three old guys putting pressure on you again?"
Ren Changsheng glanced at the Asura Sacred King, seeing how anxious he was.
"Hmph! Once they leave the Earth's core, it's hard to say whether they'll even survive a single day. Why would I be afraid of them?"
However, the situation is changing rapidly, and I want things to settle down quickly to avoid any unforeseen complications.
Don't you also want to quickly rebuild your physical body and regain your past life memories?
The Asura Sacred King thought of Chen Mu, the young man he couldn't see through at all.
Although he could see that Chen Mu had used tricks to resist Ren Changsheng, he knew that such methods could not last long given his level of cultivation.
However, he still felt that Chen Mu was a potential threat and that he would definitely get rid of him if given the chance.
"Alright! Don't worry, I've already gathered enough undead."
"In the next attack, I will simultaneously unleash a horde of undead from within their ranks; they certainly won't last long."
Ren Changsheng patted his chest, full of confidence.
One week later, at the Manju Imperial Palace, in the Council Hall.
"Your Majesty, the policy of opening the granaries has been implemented, and we have indeed seen a significant increase in the number of people coming from outside these days, including many talented individuals and strong performers from various fields."
However, the Asura Imperial Court and the Extreme Evil Imperial Court have recently taken countermeasures. They have restricted entry and exit at the border and punished defectors by exterminating their entire families. As a result, the rate of population growth has slowed down, and some people who fled here have even returned to avoid the suffering of their relatives.
If things continue like this, our plan to strengthen our nation through this method will likely fail.
Shen Hongye looked worried and reported to the Manju Sacred King, who was sitting on the throne.
"Punishing nine generations of one's family?! He dares to do something like that? Asura has really changed."
The Manju Sacred King looked sorrowful. She still remembered when they worked together under the Nether Great Emperor, Asura was not yet the Holy Queen, but just a charming and humorous young master from a noble family.
Little did anyone expect that years later, he would become such a ruthless and violent evil Asura.
"I guess he still can't let go of what happened back then."
Shen Hongye also sighed, seemingly knowing some of the inside story.
Chen Mu was sitting next to the Manju Sacred King at this moment. Mingye had gone to the Nether River to cultivate, he had to personally supervise the army and handle various affairs of his own legions and the Manju Imperial Court.
He was never interested in other people's gossip, only caring about his own work, so when he overheard their conversation, he didn't ask any questions, but instead started to analyze it.
"I once heard a great and strong man say that where there is oppression, there will be resistance."
Those who follow the right path receive abundant support, while those who stray from it receive little. He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.
Therefore, their behavior is exactly what I want!
They are now like a river blocked by a dam; if we open even a Xiaoxiao breach, the boundless river will completely engulf them.
Chen Mu spoke eloquently, appearing very excited.
"Although these words are simple, they contain profound truths and are indeed profound."
I have also studied the history of the Pangu Continent in detail, but I have never heard of this saying. I wonder which powerful figure uttered it?
The Manju Sacred King listened with curiosity.
"Well... I don't remember exactly, but someone said that."
Chen Mu dared not say that it was said by the great leader of the earth, so he could only try to bluff his way out of it.
"Now that food and robot production are on track, I no longer need to interfere. So I plan to lead my troops to attack the Extreme Evil Imperial Court starting tomorrow."
"As long as Your Majesty keeps an eye on the Asura Sacred King for me, I am confident that I can reach the Extreme Evil Imperial Palace within six months and take over the Extreme Evil Imperial Capital."
Upon hearing this, the Manju Sacred King was naturally overjoyed and nodded.
"Alright! I promise, as long as I'm alive, I will absolutely not let Asura deal with you."
Manju Imperial Court, Northwest Border.
Chen Mu personally led his troops, including the Yin Five Elements and Rushing Thunder legions, along with hundreds of thousands of bandits, in a powerful attack.
In just one month, Chen Mu successively conquered four royal city-level territories, increasing the territory of the Manju Imperial Court by half.
Now, the name of King Weiyuan is renowned not only in the Manju Imperial Court, but also among the people of the Asura Imperial Court, making him incredibly famous.
" Shi Xing, order your men to build a spirit magnetic base station nearby as soon as possible. We will rest here for three days."
Three days later, we will launch another attack on Zi'an City.
"Yes, sir."
When Chen Mu uses the power of laws, he needs to draw upon the computing power of Rune Core from all over the world; otherwise, he simply cannot cope with an enemy of Ren Changsheng's level.
Therefore, every time he conquers a city, he builds a spirit magnetic base station inside it so that he can always maintain his strongest fighting power.
In addition to its other uses, the Lingci base station can be expanded into a missile base or used to build a small robot production line, which would greatly help him control the local area.
During the attack on the Extreme Evil Imperial Court, everything went as Chen Mu had predicted; the people here were extremely dissatisfied with the Extreme Evil Imperial Court's oppressive policies.
When he fought against these legions, he often encountered legion commanders who were not putting in their best effort and would surrender at the slightest setback.
Even worse, as soon as his soldiers arrived at the city walls, some people inside the city rose up in rebellion, killed the city lord, and surrendered voluntarily.
In this situation, he fought for a month without losing any soldiers; on the contrary, his numbers increased, including some highly skilled cultivators.
Although many powerful cultivators no longer have much need for food and drink, humans are social beings, and they always have friends, descendants, and masters.
By Manju Imperial Court, one can obtain enough food to sustain their entire family, and those who make contributions will receive even greater rewards.
Such benefits were difficult to guarantee even for ordinary soldiers and many junior officers in the past, which shows that it was no accident that Chen Mu was able to fight this battle so easily.
Inside the legion's camp, a young man dressed in old cloth clothes, his face dirty, was looking around.
He noticed a long queue ahead, immediately ran to the back, and enthusiastically asked the person in front, "Brother, I heard you can get food here, is that true?"
The man standing in front was middle-aged. He turned around and glanced at the young man, thinking that the young man was quite handsome.
"The new guy?"
"Yes, I'm from the west side of the city. I heard that joining the army means receiving rations for five people, so I came here."
The young man grinned, appearing very cheerful.
