" The Dafeiluo Empire?"
Upon hearing this name, Bai Zizai couldn't help but frown. This name sounded like it belonged to a completely different group from the Great Liang Empire.
He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "So, this Land of the Far West really is a Qiankun unto itself! I wonder what its layout is like?"
He had also heard of the Black Skull Army.
This thing is like the southern chieftains and Northern Region Barbarians on the Great Ning back then; it's an absolute troublemaker, and it's a stick from the Land of the Far West.
They've caused the Frostwest Empire a lot of trouble; their strength is undeniable.
This shows that the Dafeiluo Empire is definitely not weak. So the mysterious entity that swept through the Dafeiluo Empire must be quite extraordinary, and its strength is probably even greater than that of the Frostwest Empire.
This gave him a certain amount of anticipation; this was yet another formidable opponent.
"Whether they are strong or weak is none of our concern for now; there are still obstacles ahead!" Lin Yi shook his head and said with a wry smile.
He had naturally considered dealing with the threat posed by this mysterious empire, but although he wanted to intervene, he was simply too far away to do so.
According to the nautical chart rewarded by the system, after breaking through this continent, there is a huge blank sea area, which means it is a super vast sea area.
Crossing this sea area would be far more difficult than conquering the Yamata Nation in the east; at the very least, supplies and ships would need to keep up. Therefore, he did not allow the Net to continue tracking them.
Without specialized ships and accurate nautical charts, it was impossible to pinpoint the location of the Dafeiluo Empire, let alone that mysterious empire.
He decided to leave the professional work to the professionals and ultimately entrusted the task to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu's navy had been exploring westward, which was one of his missions. Having his fleet go to investigate would be much safer.
"Oh right, and the Frostwest Empire and the Great West Empire as well."
Bai Zizai suddenly realized that there were still two obstacles blocking their way. Although they posed no threat to Great Liang, it would be too risky to leave them caught in the middle.
These two countries must also be destroyed. Then the two superpowers of the East and West will clash, and the world's master will be decided in one battle.
Bai Zizai's eyes immediately lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Your Majesty, once we conquer the Frostwest Empire and the Great West Empire, and then destroy that mysterious empire, the world will belong to Your Majesty!"
That is the ruler of the world. If I had the chance to see the emperor become the ruler of the world and reign supreme, I could die in peace.
The Frostwest Empire is now in decline and decay, while the Great West Empire is still developing. They are no match for the Great Liang Empire. The only threat is the mysterious entity that destroyed the Dafeiluo Empire.
However, once the Great Liang destroys these two empires, it's only a matter of time before it destroys them again. At that time, the emperor will be the only one of supreme power in heaven and earth.
"The Lord of the World?"
A glint of light flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. To unify the world was indeed a tremendous challenge, one that made one's blood boil with excitement.
However, accomplishing this will likely be more difficult than imagined; the world seems much larger than we imagine.
He couldn't help but laugh and said, " Old Man Bai, you'd better live well, otherwise you won't be able to see me become the ruler of all under All Under Heaven and the supreme being of the world. What a pity that would be!"
Forehead!
Bai Zizai was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized that the Emperor had only said so much to him in order to give him some spiritual support and keep him alive.
His eyes suddenly stung, and tears welled up in his eyes. He said bitterly, "Your Majesty's concern for me is deeply appreciated, but alas, my old bones are too weak!"
Old soldiers never die, they simply fade away.
This was the most agonizing thing for him, and the thing he couldn't face the most, because he wanted to fight on the battlefield, not to be so weak that he couldn't breathe.
"Why!"
Lin Yi sighed. Even though he didn't know much about medicine, he could sense that the old man was on his last legs and there was probably no way to save him.
At this moment, he seemed to see the old man who used to grow potatoes in Xiliang. That extremely cunning old man was gone forever, and perhaps it was because of him that he had brought this day to his head.
If Bai Zizai's obsession hadn't dissipated, he probably could have persevered much longer instead of collapsing like this.
He patted Bai Zizai's hand and said in a deep voice, " Old Man Bai, you can stay at the Imperial Academy from now on. They need experienced military officers to train newcomers. An Da from before will also go there."
With you personally overseeing things, the Asura Army can preserve its legacy, and you can also have more time to chat with my father, the Emperor.
Why!
Emperors have always been called lonely figures, meaning that even at the pinnacle of power, no family member dared to accompany them, which was truly a desolate situation.
He didn't want it to be like this!
"Emperor!"
Seeing Lin Yi's dejection, Bai Zizai immediately stood up straight and said in a deep voice, "To meet a wise ruler like you in this life is the greatest fortune of my Bai Zizai. I will definitely not die. I will ensure that the Asura Army continues to live on and that the Asura Army continues to serve the Emperor."
I still want to see the Emperor defeat the Frostwest Empire, conquer the Land of the Far West, and then unify the world!
A scholar will die for one who understands him. Even the emperor does not despise his old age, so how can he give up on himself? How could he face the emperor?
In an instant, Bai Zizai's eyes regained their sparkle!
He needed to carry on the legacy, to bear witness, to live on—this was his final obsession.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing this, Lin Yi's face immediately broke into a smile, and he solemnly said, "Your request is granted!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Bai Zizai chuckled, as if he had returned to the time when they first met in Xiliang, and his obsession was rekindled.
This time, I'm going to live!
Having settled Bai Zizai's matter, Lin Yi felt much more relaxed and leisurely. As he walked, he observed the surrounding scenery and people, feeling exceptionally content.
In many places, in particular, people spontaneously decorated their homes with lanterns and colorful decorations to celebrate the upcoming emperor's birthday.
This made Lin Yi feel warm all over; it was the people's approval.
"Ordinary people are such a lovely bunch!" Lin Yi couldn't help but exclaim.
Bai Zizai naturally witnessed this scene as well, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Since the Emperor ascended the throne, the national strength of Great Liang has grown at a visible rate, and the lives of ordinary people are now much better."
They naturally knew the reason behind this, which is why they were so devoted to the Emperor.
People in the past might not have starved to death, but where would they have gotten so much grain, and all these seafood and other things? It was all brought by the emperor.
The Emperor single-handedly transformed the Great Liang.
Lin Yi shook his head and smiled, "It's all thanks to Xun Yu and the others. Without them, it would have taken me at least several years to achieve this."
