"Well done! Now Moshili Chaer is the Seven-Fingered Emperor!"
Lin Yi gave a thumbs up. In this respect, the Net did an absolutely brilliant job this time. If they could have killed Emperor Moshili, that would have been even better.
The other side is just a newly unified country. If their emperor is killed, their country will only fall apart and descend into war.
Emperor Moshili saw this, and naturally, he himself also saw it.
In a sense, the Great Liang Empire and the Moses Empire were essentially the same thing—both were newly emerging powers, full of wolfish ambitions, and eager to annex other powers.
Now that I've taken action against them, they should be a huge threat to me. I should know what to do next: stop being so arrogant.
However, this would likely make things difficult for them within the Net of the Moses Empire, as they would be utterly irrational to retaliate madly.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, all our men have been withdrawn afterward. Only a small number remain hidden in the dense forest, where the enemy has no way of finding them," Sun Shangxiang explained.
Guo Jia couldn't help but laugh, "They've brought this humiliation upon themselves. They ambushed and assassinated us, unaware of our pass system. Even if we let them in, they wouldn't reach the capital; they'd just be throwing their lives away."
In their words, why bother?
Looking at the stack of documents in his hand, Tian Feng said in a deep voice, " The Moses Empire has indeed sensed the crisis. It seems they want to join forces with the Xinma Empire to attack us."
"Join forces to attack us? That's wishful thinking. Does the Xinma Empire even have the guts?" Cao Cao sneered.
Great Liang has already investigated and found out that the normal military strength of the Xinma Empire is only two million. Even if it has been urgently expanded to three or four million, its combat power is only average.
With such fighting strength, they could barely protect themselves. If they dared to join forces with the Moses Empire to attack Great Liang, they would undoubtedly be courting death.
Based on the current weaponry and equipment of the Great Liang, they are overwhelmingly superior. These two combined are no match for the Great Liang. This is not an exaggeration, but an absolute fact.
Lin Yi shook his head and smiled, "Remember not to underestimate anyone. The Xinma Empire is a country that has received a mysterious inheritance. They might even have some secret weapons, so we must be fully prepared to deal with them."
After Zhou Yu and Gan Ning enter the Xinma Empire, let's establish a military base nearby and send our people there first."
He naturally didn't believe the Xinma Queen's nonsense about giving a country as a dowry; it was just talk, something she would say when she initially wanted the Great Liang Empire to intervene.
However, once they defeat the Moses Empire, they will probably turn against them immediately.
They're all old foxes, why bother putting on some ghost story in front of us? That's just nonsense.
"By the way, how is the expeditionary force doing now? They should have reclaimed all the colonies of the Moses Empire by now, right?" Lin Yi asked.
Zhuge Liang stepped forward and laughed, "So far, we have seized six of their colonies, especially the seventh. Now they have recruited nearly a million auxiliary troops and are launching a frenzied attack on the seventh and eighth colonies."
In just a few more days, we will be close to the homeland of the Moses Empire.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's eyes immediately became playful. They've actually fought their way to the edge of the enemy's territory.
Moreover, they actually amassed a force of over a million auxiliary troops, which was quite a large undertaking.
Although these people are not very intelligent, they are definitely the best choice as cannon fodder, and they will surely rampage through the war in the future.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Pass down the order for Guan Yu and Lü Bu to launch a full-scale attack. If necessary, they can directly attack the enemy's homeland."
"They want to join forces with the Xinma Empire to attack us, right? Then I'll give them a surprise, a really big surprise."
The Empire's navy is basically on track, and it's time to start targeting them. At this point, they dare to pull such a stunt. If we don't teach them a lesson, they'll never know what true dominance is.
" Kongming obeys!"
Zhuge Liang was overjoyed. He had been part of the attacking army, and now the emperor had issued the order to attack. Although it wasn't a full-scale offensive, it was still the good news he had been hoping for.
The others were also very excited. Finally, they were going to start making temporary preparations. Although this was a probing attack, it was enough to cripple the Moses Empire.
The Great Liang Empire is no ordinary example; even its probing attacks are terrifying, and not just anyone can withstand them.
"Great, it's finally time to make a move against them. Otherwise, they'll keep jumping around like that, really thinking we're afraid of them."
"It's good to teach them a lesson, and also to make an example of them, letting the Xinma Empire know the consequences of going against us."
"The enemy's current population is only about one million, and even with the recent mobilization of some troops, their army is only about two million. Guan Yu and his men can easily attack them."
"I didn't expect this day to come so soon. Even though it's just a probing attack, it's still incredibly exciting."
Li Si and the others were extremely excited. This was of extraordinary significance to Great Liang, as it was a major operation spanning the sea, and the first time an empire had ever undertaken such a feat.
Once a foothold is established, subsequent battles will continue until the Moses Empire is completely annexed.
Such boundless ambition is probably only found in the Great Liang Empire; other countries can only dream of it.
Lin Yi looked at the universal map in his hand. The map had expanded to an incredibly vast extent, but the ocean area was still not fully illuminated.
Once the Moses Empire is conquered, the central territory can be connected, fully illuminated, forming a vast flat plate, making it easier to find other landmasses.
Another problem is whether the construction of naval warships can keep up with the pace, which will be a major issue.
Xun Yu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, we have built nearly a thousand shipyards along the coast, and hundreds or even thousands of warships are launched Tiandu. With the entire nation's resources invested in building them, these warships are more than enough, and there are even some left over."
Even if there are some consumptions, we can still supply them adequately.
Given that a nation is fully committed to building ships, there is absolutely no way there will be a shortage of vessels. His Majesty's Nine Tripod Cauldrons, and who would dare disobey him? If he says he wants to build warships, no one will dare to oppose them, and the speed at which they go to sea will naturally be fast enough.
