"Pass this message down: the people of the Moses Empire must evacuate immediately. Anyone who approaches this area must be killed on sight."
Without the slightest hesitation, Lü Bu issued a firm evacuation order.
These people have never been domesticated. Even though they are currently afraid of the Great Liang Empire, they may still pose a threat. Therefore, they must all be driven away, otherwise there is a certain risk involved.
Even if it doesn't harm His Majesty in the slightest, it's a matter of the Empire's honor and reputation, and absolutely no mistakes can be made.
Even if this order is a bit overbearing, there's nothing wrong with it.
Chen Dao nodded and immediately ordered his soldiers to cooperate with Lü Bu's men to begin evacuating the surrounding Moses Empire civilians.
This scene made the people of the Moses Empire's hearts skip a beat. Even a fool could tell that something was wrong, which was why the soldiers of the Great Liang Empire were driving them away and making them stay far away from the area.
For them, those unrealistic ideas have now been largely abandoned. The Great Liang Empire has occupied this area, and it is unlikely that the Moses Empire will be able to reclaim it in the short term.
However, they soon found out what was going on. When the ceremonial retinue belonging to the Emperor of Great Liang appeared on the territory of the Moses Empire, the stirring and solemn music made them feel pressured.
Even from a distance, they could still see Lin Yi in his dragon robe, and the kneeling soldiers of the Great Liang Empire, which made their pupils shrink in surprise.
Based on what we've learned so far, the soldiers of Great Liang never kneel before their general, yet now they've actually knelt before that man. This is truly terrifying.
"My God, it must be the Emperor of the Great Liang Empire personally leading the expedition! Only he has such power!"
"I've heard that only the emperor of the Great Liang can wear the dragon emblem. These golden dragon flags filling the sky probably mean that the most esteemed emperor of the Great Liang has personally come to the battlefield of the Moses Empire!"
In an instant, everyone understood one thing: the emperor of the Great Liang Empire had personally led the expedition.
This was undoubtedly a terrifying thing for them. The fact that the enemy's emperor had come meant that the enemy had absolute confidence; otherwise, they wouldn't have sent their emperor.
Is the Moses Empire doomed to defeat?
"Wait, our navy has gone to attack the Moses Empire. Aren't they afraid that our people will outflank them from behind and capture their emperor?"
"Hmm, could it be that our entire navy has been wiped out, which is why they were able to come directly here?"
The people of the Moses Empire froze, their faces turning bitter, for they sensed that their country was doomed.
Lin Yi glanced at the people from afar, and pleasant notification sounds emanated from them. Clearly, the " Win People Over with Virtue" attribute had been activated, and these people were all convinced.
He glanced at Zhuge Liang and the others beside him, and said in a deep voice, "I felt fear in these people, but I absolutely do not want to see it in my own people."
I hope that every person in the Great Liang will be like a dragon, possessing at least their own dignity as a strong person and their own small ideals, instead of being a bunch of walking corpses!
The Great Liang has its own unique spirit; even in the face of adversity, it never gives up—that is true strength.
A powerful nation is not just about military strength; it also needs to empower its citizens. Otherwise, if the nation faces problems, its people will remain a disorganized mess.
True strength comes only when the people are truly powerful.
Even when a country faces problems, countless acts of brilliance will emerge to save it, rather than causing it to sink into ruin through war.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhuge Liang and the others also felt the strong will of their lord and understood the greatness of their emperor. They couldn't help but feel their blood boil with excitement.
The world where everyone is a dragon may not have been very clear before, but after seeing these captured civilians, I have a better understanding of what's going on.
In the eyes of these people, there was only fear and confusion, no resistance or pride whatsoever; in other words, they were completely defeated.
Perhaps only in a country where everyone is like a dragon can such a prosperous era occur.
"Your humble generals Lü Bu, Chen Dao, and Ran Min pay their respects to Your Majesty!"
Upon receiving the news, Lü Bu and the others rushed over to greet him. When they saw Lin Yi, they couldn't help but kneel down on one knee to express their highest respect.
Lin Yi nodded slightly and smiled, "Thank you all for your hard work. The Moses Empire has already suffered heavy losses. All that remains is to settle accounts with them."
Once we destroy them, my Great Liang Empire will truly be the only one of its kind, with no rivals left.
My dear ministers, you have rendered great service; I will certainly not treat you unfairly in the future.
Such a hardworking and dedicated subordinate is hard to find even with a lantern; I am definitely a chosen one, showered with countless honors.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The crowd immediately perked up; this achievement was a good thing, as it meant greater opportunities in the future.
Lü Bu hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Your Lü Bu, I wish to serve as the vanguard of this general offensive, and to slay the enemy ahead for Your Majesty!"
Merit may be important, but he prefers to gallop on the battlefield; that's where he longs for the most.
"Good!"
Lin Yi nodded slightly and smiled, "Alright, as you wish. You'll be the vanguard in this attack, I'll let you suffer. Besides, the world is vast, you'll have plenty of opportunities!"
You like fighting, huh? There are plenty of opportunities, after all, the world is a huge place.
Even if the Moses Empire and the Xinma Empire are destroyed, there will likely be some smaller countries left, so the fighting will definitely not stop and will likely continue for at least another month or two.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lü Bu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but get excited. This was the life he loved most!
As they spoke, the group had already arrived at the center of the city of the Moses Empire. Looking at the city, Lin Yi's eyes flashed with disdain, and he complained, "This is too dilapidated. Is this what you call a coastal city?"
Cities with ports are usually quite developed, so it's absurd that there isn't even a decent city here.
The dilapidated state of this place is worse than even a small fishing village in Great Liang. It seems that the Moses Empire is all bark and no bite, with very poor basic development. Its only advantage is in its military.
"These cities don't even have city walls, so they're easy to attack. They must be used to being safe and never expected the Great Liang to attack from the sea," Guo Jia said with a smile after glancing around.
The other side has always been safe here, so naturally they have no precautions and have not built any cities.
But who could have imagined that the Great Liang would come from the sea?
