These are all his soldiers.

But these were all the foundations upon which he relied to contend for the world.

Now, seeing such a massive army for the first time, he was naturally filled with excitement.

Countless battle flags fluttered in the wind in the sky.

A vast and overwhelming killing intent surged into the sky.

This caused the clouds in the sky to be tinged with a blood-red hue.

It was clear that even the Heavenly Emperor was affected by the murderous aura emanating from this army of 200,000.

Seeing the murderous aura emanating from the 200,000 soldiers, Ye Xuan finally revealed a relieved smile.

As the saying goes, strategists are dedicated, generals are willing to give their lives, and soldiers are full of fighting spirit.

We will be invincible in every battle and unconquerable in every attack.

Ye Xuan leaped from the giant white fox and flew directly to the command platform.

The Command Platform, as the name suggests, is the place where generals are called upon to lead troops.

It is the most prominent and iconic building Chaoge City.

Towering into the clouds, its imposing presence is boundless.

As Ye Xuan landed on the command platform, looking down at the dark, murderous army below, a surge of heroic spirit welled up within him.

These people were all his soldiers, and the foundation upon which he relied to contend for the world.

The awe-inspiring sight of two hundred thousand troops gathered together truly shocked him immensely.

Ye Xuan inhaled deeply, and his voice, authoritative as a prisoner's, rang out.

"Fellow soldiers..."

"Those barbaric thieves in the North Sea are incredibly audacious; they dare to openly rebel! They are truly traitors!"

"I will personally lead the three armies on a campaign to the North Sea to quell the seventy-two rebel armies."

"This journey is fraught with peril, and you soldiers are all willing to accompany me to the North Sea to quell the seventy-two rebel armies."

Ye Xuan possessed astonishing cultivation and boundless luck.

The simple words he spoke were like thunderclaps that shook the heavens and the earth, reverberating throughout the void.

The enormous sound, like thunder, roared endlessly in the air.

Upon hearing His Human Emperor the Emperor's question, the 200,000-strong army below were all extremely excited and knelt down, shouting in unison.

"We are willing to follow His Majesty on his personal expedition to punish the traitors."

Two hundred thousand soldiers shouted in unison, their roar like thunder, echoing across the entire world.

The loud noise caused the faces of all the civil and military officials present to turn pale.

Ye Xuan raised his head, closed his eyes, and raised his hands, carefully sensing this subtle feeling.

Ye Xuan was clearly quite intoxicated by this feeling of being so adored.

The shouts below grew louder and louder.

Especially now, His Human Emperor, in every battle, always leads the troops at the forefront and personally commands the army.

This is clearly a place of utmost respect for them.

This is the Human Emperor they respect, this is the leader they revere.

With such a leader and such a monarch, how could Human Clan not rise to power?

How could such Human Emperor not be worthy of their loyalty, even unto death?

At this moment, with the soldiers' shouts, a truly turbulent scene unfolded, with dragons and snakes rising from the land.

The invisible aura above Chaoge seemed to have become even more concentrated.

After a long while, Ye Xuan opened his eyes and looked down at the still deafening roar below. He was quite satisfied.

"This journey is almost certainly a matter of life and death, and I hope that all the soldiers can return in triumph."

"When I return victorious, I will join you all for a drink."

"I will invite you to the brothel for a performance then. What do you say?"

Upon hearing the Human Emperor utter such words as "listening to music in a brothel," the soldiers burst into laughter and cheered.

Such Human Emperor was truly beloved by them.

As the current Human Emperor, the dignified ruler of heaven and earth, how could he not be fond of those who would listen to music in brothels and mingle with them?

Ye Xuan's mouth gaped open in a wide grin.

"I speak no falsehood; anyone who makes an outstanding contribution during this Northern Expedition will be richly rewarded."

"Servants, maids, fertile land, gold and silver, wealth and honor, promotions and titles—all are at your disposal."

"If, unfortunately, they die in battle, their heroic names will be inscribed on an immortal monument, they will be posthumously awarded the title of hero and martyr, and they will receive offerings and sacrifices from the people of the world."

"The families of heroes and martyrs will also be granted the title of 'Families of Glory,' and all expenses incurred by those with this title within the territory of Yinshang will be paid by the imperial court."

"The parents were cared for until their death by the Shang Dynasty, and the children were raised by the Shang Dynasty."

"You shed your blood and sacrificed your lives for the country, and the country will certainly not let you die in vain."

Upon hearing this, the breathing of the many soldiers below became heavy.

They were all men full of vigor and vitality.

Faced with the Human Emperor's words and Human Emperor allure, how could they not be tempted?

If one can gain merit in the Northern Expedition and be promoted, then fertile land and beautiful women will naturally be inexhaustible.

If, unfortunately, one's parents and children are killed in battle, the imperial court will take full responsibility for their care.

How could such Human Emperor not command their unwavering loyalty?

The soldiers were so excited that they didn't know how to express their gratitude, so they could only roar to the sky to show their thanks to His Human Emperor.

Each roar was like a sudden clap of thunder.

Each shout was like the roar of a soaring dragon.

This earth-shattering sound naturally alarmed the Chinese people in the city.

Many common people heard that His Human Emperor had invited the soldiers to a brothel to listen to music.

This immediately caused them to burst into laughter.

I never imagined that the current Human Emperor would have such an absurd side.

However, they found the Human Emperor's absurdity somewhat endearing.

This pre-battle mobilization was indeed absurd yet inspiring.

Everyone was moved to tears, especially when they heard about the Human Emperor's treatment of the martyrs.

To be honest, this is truly the first time in millions of years.

If one dies in battle during wartime.

The imperial court provides for parents in their old age and dies in their later years.

The imperial court raised the child to adulthood.

With such Human Emperor, how could the Yin Shang dynasty not flourish?

How could Human Clan not prosper forever?

Many people showed signs of excitement.

On the streets of Chaoge City, there was a young couple.

The man gazed out of the city, a look of longing in his eyes.

He also wanted to serve his country and join His Majesty in the northern expedition.

Unfortunately, he wasn't selected in the end, which was quite a disappointment for him.

The woman beside him looked at the man with a hint of reproach.

"You useless fellow, what use are you?"

"You served in the military for several years, how exactly did you manage to serve?"

"I've always treated you to the best food and drink, and this is the only good-for-nothing I've ever served?"

"All you do is lie on top of me at night. Now that His Majesty has gone on a northern expedition, you weren't even chosen. What use are you to him?"

"If you were selected, wouldn't that be a great honor for the whole family?"

"After the Northern Expedition, you don't need His Majesty's reward. I'll invite you to a brothel to listen to music. I'll spend money to find you a courtesan to serve you alongside her. I'd be happy to do that."

"Look at you, you good-for-nothing! You're a disgrace!"

The woman cursed fiercely, seemingly still not satisfied, and expressing her disappointment and frustration.

She couldn't help but punch and kick the man next to her.

"You useless piece of trash! You weren't even chosen for the 200,000-strong army. You're punished with three days off—don't come to my bed!"

With that, the woman angrily turned her head to the side.
