Looking at Jite's pleading face, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh.
This guy didn't hold back when he was scheming against me, he even included the Frostwest Empire and the Zhennan Dynasty in his plans, and now he's pretending to be pitiful here.
Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back; it's too late to regret it now.
He couldn't help but sigh, " Jite, you have attempted to divide the territory of my Great Liang, you are a sinner of Great Liang, and you will pay the price!"
Ahhh!!!
Upon hearing this, Jite's face turned deathly pale, and he instantly collapsed to the ground.
What do you mean by "inherent territory of the Great Liang"? It's clearly a case of forceful seizure and plunder!
As the leader of the Western Regions, how could he not know the origins of the Western Regions, which had absolutely nothing to do with the Central Plains?
It's just that the Great Liang set its sights on the Western Regions, so it took direct action.
Unfortunately, he was no match for his opponent, and could only accept his fate.
Looking at the aloof and imposing Emperor Lin Yi of the Great Liang, and then at Ashley and the others with complicated expressions not far away, he couldn't help but sneer.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The victor is king, the loser is villain. I accept my defeat wholeheartedly. I am no match for you, Lin Yi."
However, some people will definitely regret it. They didn't join me in suppressing the Great Liang. In the future, the entire West will become the next Western Regions.
The Great Liang said the Western Regions were their territory, and that it would be your turn in the future!
One sentence made Ashley and the others turn pale; it was a truly hurtful remark.
As Jite said, as the Great Liang grows stronger, it will become a threat to everyone; it's only a matter of time.
Ashley, in particular, was the most worried.
The Great Liang now borders the Frostwest Empire. If something really happens, the Frostwest Empire will definitely be next, which is very worrying.
His gaze fell on Ase in the crowd, who was also looking at him, his face filled with shame.
"Hmph, so noisy!"
Ran Min glanced at him, then stepped on him, silencing him completely.
Here, he has no right to act recklessly.
Upon seeing this scene, the faces of many alien races froze. They felt a deep fear, as if they were being trampled on the ground.
Today it's Jite, but next time it might be people like us.
Lin Yi, noticing everyone's gaze, couldn't help but curl his lip. He waved to Zhang Fei beside him and said in a deep voice, " Yide, go and deal with this criminal from Great Liang, and make his crimes public."
He was just a tool; now that he's fulfilled his purpose, there's no need to keep him around.
His gaze fell upon the remaining prisoners, and he was momentarily stunned by one of them who had white underwear on his head.
Could this man have invented the idea of the West surrendering by raising the white flag? These underpants are quite ingenious!
"Your Majesty, I am Ase!" Ase quickly spoke up when he saw Lin Yi's gaze sweep over him.
Wang Yue whispered, "Your Majesty, this person is from the Frostwest Empire. He has been helping Jite control the Western Regions and is the strategist of the Western Regions Alliance."
"People from the Frostwest Empire?"
A smile instantly appeared in Lin Yi's eyes. He turned to look at the Frostwest Empire delegation and then said with a smile, "This person is extremely creative. He actually came up with such an innovative way of surrendering. He is definitely a talent. Let him stay for now."
As for the others, execute them on the spot!
With a wave of his hand, he decided to eliminate the remaining dozens of prisoners without interrogation, saying they were simply a waste of food.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ase was overjoyed; he was incredibly lucky to have survived.
Thank goodness I was creative, otherwise I probably would have died this time too.
Pfft!
With a few slashes, blood splattered on the ground, causing the surrounding alien races to pale in shock. This was clearly a case of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
"What kind of creativity is this? This is clearly an insult!"
When Ashley saw Ase being taken away alone, his face turned extremely grim. This so-called creative idea was nothing short of humiliating the Frostwest Empire.
Furthermore, the glance Lin Yi gave them earlier was definitely not out of goodwill; he was probably trying to extort money from the Frostwest Empire.
This guy is young, but incredibly ruthless.
Lin Yi ignored him and instead looked at the army in front of him, saying loudly, "Today we will reward our troops and honor our warriors, so that the world may witness your bravery."
All the soldiers who participated in this battle were promoted two ranks, and they can receive a large amount of monetary rewards, as well as preferential policies from the Great Liang, which will benefit their descendants.
At the same time, I will build Heroes Memorial Tower to house the souls of those who died for the Great Liang, so that they may enjoy the incense offerings of the people of Great Liang for generations to come.
This quota is not limited to the military; anyone who has made contributions to the Great Liang is eligible...
Heroes Memorial Tower!
This was a decision made by Lin Yi. He had previously granted the title of Duke to all officials, but the rewards for ordinary soldiers were still somewhat lacking.
This Heroes Memorial Tower can offer some solace to ordinary soldiers!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Sure enough, the army erupted in excitement upon hearing this. A promotion of two ranks was already quite an achievement, but to have Heroes Memorial Tower built on top of that was simply incredible.
Even the Hundred Riders and some members of the Net couldn't help but get excited.
Anyone who makes contributions to Great Liang is eligible, so people like us all have a chance.
Wang Yue, in particular, even shed tears.
The people who had been working behind the Net had never received any reward, even if there were casualties. But now, with this Heroes Memorial Tower, they could die in peace.
Bang!
Wang Yue suddenly knelt down and solemnly said, "Long live the Emperor! On behalf of the entire Net, I thank the Emperor for his grace!"
"You have sacrificed so much for the country, this is what you deserve!" Looking at the tearful, tough-as-nails Wang Yue, Lin Yi sighed and patted him on the shoulder.
That's all I can do for them. I hope they can be normal people in their next life.
" Heroes Memorial Tower!"
Seeing the frenzied madness of the Great Liang, Ashley and the others couldn't help but change color, their faces turning extremely ugly.
This Heroes Memorial Tower has inspired such fervor among the soldiers of Great Liang; their terrifying morale has even made them somewhat apprehensive.
Ashley and Morandi exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of dread; this was putting immense pressure on their Western allies.
Morandi took a deep breath and said bitterly, "What a magnificent Heroes Memorial Monument! This will only make the soldiers of Great Liang even more terrifying, perhaps even fearless in the face of death!"
The soldiers of Great Liang will go crazy when this thing comes out; this is a golden opportunity to make a name for themselves in history.
Once inside the Heroes Memorial Tower, one can enjoy the eternal incense offerings of the Great Liang Dynasty, a near-immortal status that is incredibly tempting for an ordinary person.
"Such a severe Great Liang is more of a curse than a blessing for the West!" Ashley couldn't help but smile wryly and sigh.
He knew in his heart that the so-called peace was only temporary, and even if diplomatic relations were established this time, the other side might still break the peace agreement, so this was not good news.
This is a big problem; we probably need to find a way to ease relations with the Great West Empire.
The powerful Great Liang Empire posed a threat to any region.
