Black Gold Steel!
Numerous trebuchets!
Mysterious ruins!
After arranging things, Lin Yi looked at the letter in his hand and fell into deep thought. Was this mysterious ruin real or fake? Or was Abide William just bragging?
If it's true, what exactly is this thing?
According to intelligence reports, the rise of the Xinma Empire was due to this mysterious ruin, which enabled them to establish a weapons system and even catch up with the contemporary Moses Empire.
This is quite remarkable, considering that the Xinma Empire was founded by a few women, meaning their weaponry system started from scratch.
This was achieved almost without any foundation, a leap from nothing, and yet it went on par with the Moses Empire, which had accumulated over hundreds of years. This is simply outrageous.
If this ruin doesn't hold a great secret, then the founder of the Xinma Empire must have had a super scientist; the former is clearly more likely.
This means that this mysterious ruin holds a great secret, but what exactly it is remains unknown.
At this moment, the side door next to the main hall opened, and Tian Feng and Guo Jia came out.
"Your Majesty, this mysterious ruin is very likely the remains of a country. The reason why Xinma were able to rise so quickly is not because they received some divine oracle, but because they inherited the legacy of a country!" Tian Feng said with a serious expression.
The two of them were professionals from the Palace Library, so they always stayed by the side, responsible for helping the Emperor handle affairs.
When I met with the envoys from the Xinma Empire earlier, although they did not show up, they were actually separated by only a wall.
"The ruins of a country?"
Upon hearing Tian Feng's words, Lin Yi's eyes lit up; this was indeed a good idea.
Rather than something overly fantastical, this one is more plausible. After all, while the Xinma Empire is quite powerful, it hasn't yet reached a level that transcends its time.
It is highly likely that this was a weapon system inherited from a country, which enabled them to leapfrog into a powerful Xinma Empire.
So the question arises: who destroyed this mysterious ruin?
Lin Yi was astonished and couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems this continent is even more mysterious than I imagined! A nation with such advanced technology was actually destroyed! There are always mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people!"
Logically speaking, the owner of this mysterious ruin should have been a technological leader of his time, given his perfect use of catapults and steel.
Even so, he was still defeated, which means there were even stronger opponents around.
Guo Jia shook his head and laughed, "Weapons cannot dominate an era. Even if someone possesses the most powerful weapons, if their internal system is corrupt, they will eventually perish."
This mysterious country may have encountered a powerful enemy, or it may have perished in internal strife; these are all unknown!
Nations often perish due to weakness, but the Han Dynasty alone perished because of its strength!
History has already provided the answer to this matter, so the question of how this mysterious empire fell still needs further investigation.
"That makes sense!"
Upon hearing this theory, Lin Yi was initially taken aback, but then he understood the reasoning behind it.
A country may be incredibly powerful, with weaponry far surpassing that of other nations, but if it becomes corrupt internally, it will descend into a state of infighting.
At that point, it would be a battle between our own people, and the weapons and equipment would be of a different level, which would have a completely different meaning.
Because of this problem, Lin Yi has always been careful to control the Great Liang, ensuring that each territory is under the control of people who are absolutely loyal to him, thus preventing this problem from arising.
However, other people don't have this system, and problems will naturally arise over time.
If that's the case, this mysterious ruin might be the site of a powerful nation, which is why the Xinma Empire rose to prominence so quickly.
He said in a deep voice, "In that case, send people to investigate this mysterious ruin, and while we're at it, pinpoint the location of the Xinma Empire and the Ocean Ring."
Great Liang doesn't really need this country's technology, since Great Liang's strength has already surpassed that of many countries, and even possesses capabilities that are ahead of their time.
In comparison, the technology of the Xinma Empire might be decent, but it's still far behind that of the Great Liang, so the Great Liang doesn't really need this kind of thing.
All that's needed is to figure out who eliminated him, or at least identify any potential enemies; that's enough.
"Your Majesty, it seems the journey of the Great Liang is truly boundless, a world full of wonders," Guo Jia said, looking towards the south.
I thought the Great Liang was All Under Heaven, but I never imagined there were so many hidden countries in the world. This is so exciting!
Forehead!
Seeing Guo Jia's flushed face, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
If others knew there were still enemies, they would be cautious and solemn. This guy is so excited and agitated, like he's about to get his hands on food. This guy is simply outrageous.
But this is for the best. At least Guo Jia hasn't lost his ambition to conquer, and he's a good strategist for me.
Now that he is about to unify the Central Continent, he thought he was All Under Heaven, but he didn't expect there to be even more exciting things to come in other places.
Not only is there the Moses Empire in the Land of the Far West, but there's also the Xinma Empire in the south, and the ruins of a mysterious empire also exist. This world is truly amazing.
His eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, " The Central Continent didn't participate before, but this time we can bring the Great Liang to fight!!!"
Xinma Empire!
Seventh Empress, that's interesting!
Court of Diplomatic Reception, the Xinma delegation was also discussing the exchange.
They were located on the west side of the Court of Diplomatic Reception, and their guards were firmly protecting them, allowing them to discuss matters safely.
The basic objectives of the Xinma Empire have been achieved. Although a large amount of benefits were ceded, at least the approval of the Emperor of Great Liang has been obtained.
In this way, the Xinma Empire would have a greater initiative in dealing with the Moses Empire.
However, this exchange left them somewhat undecided.
Xinier frowned and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, according to what I've learned, the Great Liang has extremely tight control over potatoes and sweet potatoes."
"If we want to obtain these two items, we'll probably have to pay an extremely heavy price; otherwise, it's absolutely impossible."
After learning about potatoes, he began to investigate the issue. The Great Liang places on potatoes is no joke. The Xinma Empire will likely have to pay a hefty price to acquire them.
These two things are absolutely irreplaceable, as they are, in some respects, related to the fate of the nation.
"I told you, just call me Dada outside. I am a prince, not a princess!" Prince Dada glanced at Xinier and said in a deep voice.
