"Attribute Three: Indestructible. (As long as the bound army survives, the Black Dragon Banner will not fall.)"

Holy crap!

Undying!

After looking at the last attribute, Lin Yi fell into a brief silence, then exclaimed with delight, " The Black Dragon Banner truly is a divine artifact!"

This flag is incredibly powerful; it's practically a legion's most powerful artifact.

It can not only greatly enhance the cohesion and killing intent of the Great Liang army, but also bring pressure to the enemy, which is a direct two-way enhancement.

These points may seem abstract, but they are actually very useful and can definitely make you shine on the battlefield.

It can also increase the loyalty of soldiers in its legion, a feature that is absolutely bug-like and enough to change the landscape of a legion.

A 50% increase in loyalty means that even if you're not loyal to Great Liang, with a little manipulation, you can easily win over the Black Dragon Banner.

This is terrifying; it directly changes the depths of one's soul!

If this thing were combined with a master swindler like Zhang Jiao, it would be the most terrifying combination in the world; probably no one could withstand it.

The third attribute seems the simplest, but it is actually quite significant.

Indestructible!

This means it is invincible.

Fire cannot destroy it, bombs cannot shatter it; it is an indestructible symbol. If you were to wrap yourself in it, you would be invulnerable, an invincible warrior on the battlefield.

Perhaps, on some levels, it symbolizes an undying military spirit; with it, the army is invincible.

Its only weakness is that it needs to be bound to a legion, and it will be destroyed if the legion it is bound to is destroyed.

This means that the legion carrying the Black Dragon Banner must possess absolute strength and not be easily annihilated; this is the fundamental reason why this flag is invincible.

Lin Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and he had already made up his mind. He murmured, "In that case, I need to choose an extremely powerful legion to bind to the Black Dragon Banner. This is something I must be very careful about."

This is destined to be an invincible offensive legion; once successfully built, it will undoubtedly be unstoppable.

Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors!

White Horse Volunteers!

Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!

Formation-Breaking Camp!

In an instant, several options flashed through his mind, but in the end, he couldn't help but shake his head at them all!

These legions have their own characteristics. The addition of the Black Dragon Banner might raise their potential, but it feels more like icing on the cake.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he thought of someone!

Attack speed!

Slaughter!

Pressure!

These characteristics are quite obvious, and several of his legions fit these attributes, but perhaps this person is the one who can bring them to their fullest potential.

Marquis Champion Huo Qubing, the champion!

This legendary general, whom I had just acquired, was an extremely powerful offensive force, so much so that even the heavens wanted him to perish.

Now that he's under my command, with my Feathered Forest Army combined with the attributes of the Black Dragon Banner, he'll absolutely become a nightmare-level force.

As for Huo Qubing's infectiousness, that goes without saying.

He doesn't rely on deception; he conquers others directly with his personal charisma. He's the kind of man who can make eight hundred cavalrymen disregard their own lives and follow him on a grand flanking attack on the Xiongnu royal court.

Based on this alone, coupled with increased loyalty, they become a unified entity from top to bottom.

In terms of sheer force, Marquis Champion Huo Qubing was far superior; he was a ruthless man who fought so hard that the Xiongnu cried out in despair and ultimately fled in panic.

In this respect, even Gongsun Zan's White Horse Volunteers cannot compare to him.

All things considered, Huo Qubing was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Moreover, with the protection of this Black Dragon Banner, Huo Qubing would be able to survive on the battlefield and would surely shine brightly and All Under Heaven in the future.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh.

Perhaps this is fate, allowing this tragically deceased general to shine once more, to reign supreme in this world again, which can be considered as giving this genius a chance.

"Huh?"

The assembled officials looked at the emperor's sudden smile and exchanged bewildered glances, wondering if there was some good news in store.

Thinking about this, they couldn't help but feel hopeful.

A smile from the Emperor always means good things are about to happen. Could it be another pay raise?

Cough cough!

Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of his ministers below, Lin Yi realized that it was still morning court time, so he coughed twice and continued the court session.

"My esteemed ministers, is there anything else you wish to report?"

Generally, the three prime ministers handle these matters, and if there's nothing important, one can simply leave the court.

At this moment, Xun Yu stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the Great Ming Palace is nearing completion, and we need Your Majesty's confirmation on when to move there."

"Oh, the Great Ming Palace is finished?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's eyes lit up; he could finally live in his own palace.

Great Ming Palace!

This is a brand new palace that was built after the establishment of the Great Liang; it is the imperial palace of the Great Liang itself.

The builder of the Great Ming Palace was Ma Jun, who gathered the opinions of elites from various industries and Lin Yi's own guidance, taking inspiration from the sun, moon, stars, and the Yin and Yang of Tai Chi to create the magnificent palace.

bright!

It embodies the idea of the sun and moon shining brightly in the sky, illuminating the All Under Heaven.

It also means that all places illuminated by the sun and moon are the territory of my Great Liang, implying dominion over all the heavens.

This is a name I chose myself, reflecting my own ideals, and I even participated in its design—it's absolutely the most suitable palace for me.

Compared to the current imperial palace, the former Great Ning Imperial Palace seemed rather ominous.

Although the Great Ning Imperial Palace was originally quite nice, it was a secondhand place, and it was just uncomfortable to stay in. You only feel comfortable in your own palace.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi immediately perked up and said with a smile, "Grand Preceptor, quickly calculate a suitable time; I want to move there as soon as possible!"

There's no place like home, no matter how luxurious.

"Your subject understands!"

Zhang Jiao, being such a shrewd man, immediately discerned his emperor's joy and began to make calculations.

After a little deliberation, the final result was obtained.

"Your Majesty, the tenth of next month is an auspicious day, a day of great prosperity and supreme authority. It is truly the perfect day for Your Majesty to move!"

Forehead!

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips; this was simply outrageous.

In the crowd, Xu You looked speechless and muttered, "Is it really that amazing? It's one thing to have the Three Yangs Bring Prosperity, but it's even a supreme formation of heaven and earth."

"Is Zhang Jiao trying to fool the emperor? This is too outrageous."

He was also a scholar, but he had never heard of any day being the day the supreme being of heaven and earth moved house; that was utter nonsense.

Hearing his words, Guo Jia gave him a meaningful look and smiled, " Old Xu, whether or not there is this auspicious day for the supreme ruler of heaven and earth is not important. What is important is that the emperor is happy."

Besides, how could ordinary people possibly understand the affairs of these Daoist priests? They say the Supreme Being of Heaven and Earth is the Supreme Being of Heaven and Earth!
