The capital of Great Ning has now been officially renamed Yong'an City and has become the capital of Great Liang!
After Great Liang took over, it began a massive expansion. Yong'an City is now more than three times its original size, truly a supreme imperial city with a grand scale.
"This is the new capital city of Yong'an?"
Looking at the magnificent complex of buildings before me, and the towering city walls, some several meters high, with the fierce battle records of the Great Liang Dynasty prominently engraved on them, one feels a chill run down one's spine at a glance.
Slaughter the Northern Region Barbarians!
Sweep away the Great Ning Dynasty!
Subdue the southern chieftains!
Exterminate overseas islands!
The scene depicts the brutal battlefield, where the Great Liang army swept through everything in its path. Before them, the enemy was as fragile as paper, easily crushed by the Great Liang.
Looking at these things, some of the alien races couldn't help but gasp, feeling their scalps tingle. Just from these murals, they could sense the other side's formidable martial arts skills.
Looking again at the Blue Pigeon flag on the enemy's city wall, everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips.
This is the Great Liang that claims to bring peace to the world? Is this what they call peace?
Nuclear peace?
An envoy from a small country couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and said bitterly, "This is the Great Liang, which claims to be peaceful with foreign powers. I think 'fighting nation' would be a more fitting description. Have they fought their way to the end?"
People from other countries nodded in agreement.
After receiving the invitation from Great Liang, they couldn't sit still and traveled day and night to Yong'an City. After all, the rise of such a behemoth posed an absolute threat to its neighbors.
Especially a power like the Great Liang Dynasty, a nation of nuclear caliber. It swept across two countries and unified the north and south; it was clearly no benevolent force.
So when the news spread, not only did some small countries in the southwest tremble with fear, but even the Frostwest Empire felt the pressure coming at them and quickly sent people to Great Liang.
Upon witnessing this scene, they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
"It's chilling; this is a very volatile country, you feel like they might hit someone at any moment."
"What a terrifying Great Liang Dynasty! No wonder it swept across the north and south, not only annihilating the Northern Region Barbarians but also destroying Li Anlan's Great Ning Dynasty. It's truly extraordinary."
"Isn't that obvious? I just saw some alien causing trouble here, and the City Guard Battalion grabbed him and beat him senseless. If it weren't for the fact that he was here to participate in the Fengshan ceremony, he probably would have been killed."
"This is outrageous! No wonder even the Northern Region Barbarians couldn't withstand it; it turns out the Great Liang is the real brute!"
The visiting envoys looked grim, their expressions grave. The rise of the Great Liang was likely not a good thing for their own countries; they might even be attacked.
Especially for some kingdoms in the Western Regions, their minds were in turmoil, as they were right under the noses of the Great Liang.
At that moment, someone spoke up!
Even the envoy from the Zhennan Dynasty, a dominant power in the southwest, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. Looking at the murals, he gritted his teeth and said, "And they claim to be at peace with this?"
"This is utterly absurd! Compared to them, my Zhennan Dynasty is practically benevolent!"
Their Zhennan Dynasty had always been the hegemon of the southwest region, and they often caused trouble in the Great Ning. In the end, Li Anlan had to give up his territory in the southwest. They were known as the absolute troublemakers in the southwest.
But after seeing Great Liang's record, even the troublemaker felt a chill run down his spine.
He had originally planned to follow the same approach as he had with Great Liang Great Ning, hoping to take advantage of Great Liang's newly established state. But now it seems he might not be so easy to deal with.
The other side is beating up the Northern Barbarians and Great Ning like they're nothing, this is no joke, and they might even get beaten up themselves.
Upon hearing his words, one of the people in the crowd couldn't help but sneer, "Your Zhennan Dynasty reigns supreme in the southwest, why don't you have a go at Great Liang? Let's see how much strength you have!"
"Presumptuous!"
Upon hearing this, the Zhennan envoy was furious and glared at the speaker.
Although I am indeed a little scared, that doesn't mean you can say it out loud. Besides, we haven't even fought yet, so why should Great Liang be able to overpower us?
Upon looking at the speaker, the sinister look on his face instantly turned into mockery, and he sneered, "So it's Jiang Li, the lackey of Great Ning. Didn't you follow Great Ning's orders and establish your own chieftaincy?"
"Now you've actually arrived in the capital of Great Liang, so it's because your original master is failing and you've come looking for a new master, is that it?"
The Zhennan Dynasty bordered the Southern Tusi (local chieftains), and their relationship was not very friendly. Although they had once fought together against Great Ning, they mostly fought for territory.
If the two sides hadn't been separated by the Moon Mountain Range, they probably would have already started a full-scale war.
The battles between the two sides were always back and forth, but there was never a conflict involving 100,000 people. After all, the Moon Mountain Range were not easy to cross; they were primeval forests.
You fucking want to die!
Jiang Li's face instantly turned ugly. What do you mean by coming to find a master? I'm here to be pragmatic and pay homage to the new emperor's ascension to the throne. This is a legitimate act of submission and surrender.
This kid's so cocky, he really thinks it's the old days?
Backed by the Great Liang that was Daliang, offending him was probably beyond the capacity of the Zhennan Dynasty to bear.
He sneered, "I am now the Marquis of Carefree Wanderings of Great Liang, Principal Third Rank official. Your Zhennan Dynasty had better keep a low profile. If you offend the Emperor, your small Zhennan Dynasty cannot afford the consequences!"
"You!!!"
The Zhennan Envoy's expression changed drastically. This old bastard actually had no shame and went directly to his master.
He wanted to take action but held back, after all, this was the Great Liang, and if he caused trouble here, he might not be able to explain himself.
We are here to participate in the Fengshan ceremony and, incidentally, to test the strength of the Great Liang. We cannot afford to jeopardize our important mission.
Meanwhile, in a nearby restaurant, a group of Westerners had booked the entire place and were quietly watching everything unfold.
Seeing the chaos, the leader said with a grim face, " Cha'er, how's your investigation of Great Liang going? What is its strength? Can it pose a threat to my Frostwest Empire?"
Indeed, this person is Abucha, the envoy of the Frostwest Empire.
The Frostwest Empire's earlier defeat in Xining made them realize the crisis, so they immediately sent people to Great Liang. In fact, they were the first country to arrive.
However, the information they gathered made them somewhat worried, which is why they sent people to fully understand the strength of Great Liang.
"The situation is not optimistic!" Cha'er said with a solemn expression upon hearing his words.
How bad?
"Those murals are real. The Great Liang swept through the Northern Region Barbarians, slaughtering them on the grasslands. In less than a month, they annihilated the entire army of the Great Ning, and now the eastern, southern, and northern regions have all fallen into the hands of the Great Liang!"
What's worse is their army size; it probably exceeds 1.5 million, making them a formidable enemy for us.
Cha'er looked bitter. The East was about to face a huge challenge, which was definitely not good news for the Frostwest Empire.
