Chapter 3 Summoning
After closing the system shop, Ying Chen looked at his system panel and his smile widened.
Not only has his strength greatly improved, but his team is also taking shape. Although he only has one civil official and one military general, their cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage, which is enough for him to roam freely in the Qin Dynasty...
Moreover, the legion numbered a full two hundred thousand, and all of them had reached the Foundation Establishment stage in cultivation. Even the elite legions of the dynasty only had half of them at this level...
Most notably, as long as one's own cultivation level increases, the cultivation levels of these summoned figures, including civil and military officials and legions, will also increase accordingly...
"Ding! A new main quest has been issued: Ascend the Throne!"
"Host, please become the Emperor of Qin within three years. Upon completion of the mission, you will receive a reward..."
At that moment, the system's voice suddenly appeared in Ying Chen's mind.
"The mission has already been issued?"
Ying Chen was somewhat puzzled, but he still checked the task. This task was neither particularly difficult nor particularly easy...
He certainly can't ascend the throne through normal means, so there's only one way to get there: by force...
However, his current power is insufficient to contend with the Great Qin Dynasty. The Great Qin has existed for tens of thousands of years; who knows how many ancient monsters are slumbering within? Therefore, he should bide his time for a while, waiting until he is strong enough before launching a final assault to reclaim the capital and seize the throne...
"System, summon Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, and Lu Bing!"
Ying Chen said in his mind.
"Ding! Summoning successful!"
As soon as the system finished speaking, three white lights flashed inside Ying Chen's room...
A moment later, the white light slowly dissipated, and three figures appeared.
One of the three was wearing armor and wielding a spear, another wore a flying fish robe, and the last was dressed in a scholar's robe...
Therefore, the identities of the three are easy to identify...
"See my lord!"
The moment the three appeared, they all bowed in unison.
"No need for formalities, you gentlemen. Just call me Your Highness..."
Ying Chen came to the three of them and helped them up one by one.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The three of them spoke in unison again.
Ying Chen nodded and said, "With the help of the three of you, I can expect great things to come!"
"I am willing to die for your Highness!"
"Gentlemen! My current situation is not optimistic. My father has enfeoffed me in this harsh and cold land of Liangzhou. What do you three think I should do now...?"
Ying Chen asked for guidance.
"Your Highness! Although Liangzhou is a harsh and cold place, it also has its unique characteristics..."
Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Please sir, teach me!"
Ying Chen spoke up.
"It's not really instruction, just some suggestions from your subordinates. Firstly, Liangzhou doesn't have any powerful forces, making it relatively easy to control; secondly, Liangzhou borders the Blood Barbarian Dynasty and has been in constant warfare, so the people here are fierce and tough, making it an excellent source of soldiers. Furthermore, we can also use the Blood Barbarian Dynasty to train troops and cultivate a battle-hardened army for Your Highness..."
"When that time comes, Your Highness will only need one opportunity to raise an army, march south in one fell swoop, and take over the capital and even the entire Great Qin. At that time, the great cause will be accomplished!"
Guo Jia spoke eloquently, and his confident demeanor gave Ying Chen a lot of confidence. He believed that with the help of the system and the civil and military officials, he would definitely be able to accomplish great things...
"Very well! With your assistance, I believe that great things will be accomplished sooner or later!"
Ying Chen spoke up.
"The system has deployed the White Horse Cavalry to a hidden location in Liangzhou..."
Ying Chen said in his mind.
"Ding! The White Horse Cavalry has been deployed to the Meteorite Mountains in Liangzhou! Awaiting the host's call..."
The system's voice sounded at the right time.
"Zilong, I hereby appoint you as General Baima. There is an army of 100,000 men in the Meteorite Mountains of Liangzhou. You will go to Liangzhou first, take command of this army, and await my arrival..."
Then, Ying Chen took out a token and handed it to Zhao Yun, saying...
"Yes, Your Highness! This humble general thanks you!"
Zhao Yun stepped forward, took the token, and clasped his hands in greeting.
Then, Ying Chen extracted the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Unlike the White Horse Cavalry, he didn't assign them to specific locations but deployed them randomly. The Embroidered Uniform Guards were skilled in intelligence and assassination, not suited for direct combat...
Currently, there are 100,000 Imperial Guards and various locations within the Great Qin and the Blood Barbarian Dynasty bordering Great Qin...
"Lu Bing, I hereby appoint you as the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, in charge of intelligence gathering and assassination operations..."
"Yes! Your Highness, I will certainly live up to your expectations!"
Lu Bing accepted the token symbolizing the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard with great excitement. He had only just arrived and had been entrusted with such an important task, which showed His Highness's trust in him. He absolutely could not let His Highness down...
Ying Chen gave them a few more instructions and then dismissed them...
Zhao Yun went ahead to Liangzhou, while Lu Bing went to find the head of the Imperial Guard in the capital. As for Guo Jia, he stayed at his residence, publicly claiming that he had recruited him to help him manage Liangzhou...
..................
Three days later.
Outside the capital, a group of several hundred people were waiting.
Ying Chen emerged from the city gate with dozens of people from his residence. Although he was not favored by the emperor, his necessities were not reduced, and he was treated no differently from any other prince...
"Greetings, King Liang!"
When Ying Chen arrived at the front of the group, all the soldiers saluted respectfully and said that they were ordered to protect Ying Chen on his way to Liangzhou.
Their attitude was very respectful. Although this Prince of Liang had been enfeoffed in Liangzhou and seemed to be an abandoned pawn, no matter how down on his luck he was, he was still royalty. Naturally, these people wouldn't look down on him, so there were no scenes of people looking down on him...
"Get up! It's up to you now!"
Ying Chen waved his hand and spoke.
"Here!"
The officer in charge of this escort operation was a captain in the Imperial Guard with the cultivation level of the Golden Core stage.
The ordinary soldiers, on the other hand, were all members of the Imperial Guard, and all possessed Foundation Establishment cultivation...
"Your Highness, please board the flying boat!"
The captain gestured for them to proceed; a flying boat several hundred meters long was parked not far away...
Flying boats are the primary mode of transportation in the Xuan Tian Realm. Those below the Golden Core stage cannot fly, and even Golden Core cultivators cannot fly for extended periods, as it consumes a great deal of spiritual energy. Only those at the Nascent Soul stage and below can fly for extended periods...
Under these circumstances, the airship was born...
Ying Chen nodded and led everyone towards the flying boat...
"Sixth brother, why didn't you say goodbye to your older brother before you left!"
Just as Ying Chen was about to board the flying boat, a voice came from afar...
