Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 920 The Shadow of the Zerg Catastrophe
"Won!"
The moment the imperial will was shattered, the Qing army, which had been resisting, completely lost its will to fight.
Some loyal officers committed suicide by slitting their throats to be buried with the Qing court. After all, it was an empire on the rise, and many people were willing to give their lives for it.
Most officers and soldiers chose to surrender.
The moment the Empire's will shattered, their fighting spirit shattered as well.
Xinghan's strategic goal from beginning to end has always been this: to force the Qing court to make arrangements according to their strategy through a series of tactics.
Despite numerous setbacks, they still achieved their initial goal: to defeat the Qing court's imperial will.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Mu Yi convened a post-war meeting.
With the collapse of the Qing Empire's will and the capture of its main forces, even if there were still remnants scattered around the world, it was virtually impossible for the situation of Three Heavens soldiers roaming the ground and the Imperial Guards being treated worse than dogs to reappear.
Therefore, Xinghan can choose to slow down. After the Qing Dynasty's defeat, it has lost its value for continued support. The Mongol Yuan Dynasty will not fight against the Great Xinghan on two fronts at the same time because of a dead hunting dog.
Or rather, the Mongol Yuan dynasty now wants to establish diplomatic relations with the Xinghan (Singaporean Empire) in order to jointly contain the Ming dynasty, which is currently in a very bad situation.
Therefore, Xinghan chose to proceed cautiously and steadily.
The remnants of the Qing army that recovered the Central Plains could be armed with a large auxiliary army to attack other Qing territories.
Using the Qing to control the Qing is definitely a good choice.
"Using the Central Plains and the Mediterranean as inspiration, order Bai Qi, Wu Qi, Yue Fei, and Zhuge Liang to conquer the target area!"
"Order the Marquis of Huaiyin to lead troops to the Eastern Ying region to assist Zhou Yu and Sun Ce in conquering the four islands of Eastern Ying."
The orders were issued one by one in an orderly manner.
"Then shall I go and reunite with Marshal Wu Qi?"
Xu Shu suggested that since he had been urgently transferred here, if the campaign were to continue, Wu Qi's side would be better suited because he knew more about the Russian Communists.
“Okay!” Mu Yi nodded in agreement.
"Zilong, then I'll trouble you to give me a ride!"
"I'm sorry, Yuanzhi, I'm afraid I have to return to Luoyang first. Given my current condition, I'm afraid I can't send you to Chu Lingyi's place!" Zhao Yun said with a wry smile.
"If I were to return to Luoyang now, I'd probably need someone to take me back!"
"Ok?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Shu frowned slightly and looked at Zhao Yun, somewhat puzzled by what he meant.
"The Qing Empire's will has crumbled, and we have suffered a backlash. I'm afraid we won't be able to use force for the time being!" Guan Yu said succinctly.
This is one of the reasons why Xinghan had to stop and rest. In the final battle, the more effort someone put in, the more severe the backlash they would suffer.
Even though the vast majority of the backlash was borne by the will of the Star Han Empire, they still could not escape it.
Guan Yu and Zhao Yun are doing relatively well, but Lü Bu and Xiang Shaoyu are already in bed.
After all, Zhao Yun only lent Guan Yu his inner energy, and Guan Yu still had Zhang Fei and Liu Bei to share the burden, so it wasn't too serious.
Lü Bu was the most seriously injured, after all, he was the first to wound Nurhaci, and he was the one who was most resented.
In addition, Lu Bu's outburst was so ruthless that it caused problems with his body and will, and he probably won't be able to fight anyone for at least a year or two.
Xiang Shaoyu, on the other hand, was simply too weak-willed. After being attacked by the backlash, he couldn't even get up and could only return to Luoyang to lie down.
Other officers who took action also suffered varying degrees of backlash, but most were not significantly affected.
Besides these officers, the five miracle legions suffered the most severe backlash, all bearing the curse of the Qing court. The First Yellow Heaven, in particular, was emitting black smoke that just wouldn't stop.
However, this is not a problem for the major miracle legions. After all, the will of the Qing Empire has been shattered. As long as they use miracles to wear it down, they can get rid of this curse.
However, as long as they stayed wherever the Qing court existed, they were bound to encounter many misfortunes. Therefore, the major miracle legions also planned to follow Mu Yi back to Luoyang.
After explaining the arrangements for what was to come, Mu Yi led the many wounded soldiers back to Luoyang.
On the one hand, Nurhaci's death meant he no longer needed to personally lead the army; on the other hand, digesting the Qing court's imperial will required considerable effort and time.
The best way to maximize the absorption of the Qing Dynasty's imperial will is for him to stay in the place where the Star Han Empire's will is strongest.
Luoyang, as the current capital, is the place where the Star Han Empire's will is strongest.
Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and others were able to minimize the backlash in Luoyang and even help suppress the Qing Dynasty's imperial will.
However, compared to them, the people of the Hundred Schools of Thought were more professional, and the most professional among them were naturally the Taoist immortals.
The Taoist immortals put aside all their work and settled in the underground palace, using formations to suppress the nation's destiny while helping the imperial will to annex everything from the Qing court.
In this war, Xinghan suffered a significant loss of imperial will, which it could only recover by taking from the Qing court.
The Qing imperial will resisted fiercely, but it was already in a state of disarray, and as a rootless duckweed, it was simply unable to resist annexation.
But this is destined to be a long process.
After completing all the necessary preparations, Mu Yi returned to the imperial palace.
The child, who was born when the expedition began, was nearly a year old and a complete stranger to Mu Yi, but the bond of blood made him feel no resistance to Mu Yi.
Instead of crying when Mu Yi embraced her, she happily pinched Mu Yi's face.
The blissful life hadn't lasted more than a few days when Jia Xu and Guo Jia came knocking on their door.
Mu Yi was forced to interrupt his time with his children to meet with Jia Xu and Guo Jia.
"Your Majesty, something has happened!" Jia Xu approached Mu Yi with a helpless expression.
He wouldn't bother Mu Yi unless it was something important, but he really had no choice but to come.
"What is it?" Mu Yi frowned, as he also knew the importance of Jia Xu seeking his help.
"Traces of the Zerg scourge have been discovered in the African region, and it is suspected that they were dropped into Africa through the space tunnel when we previously sent the scourge to the Ming Dynasty."
Seeing that Jia Xu seemed hesitant to speak, Mu Yi told him to speak frankly.
"I also have a theory: it's possible that the insect plague from the Ming Dynasty evolved into insects capable of spatial teleportation!"
"Through their connection with this world, they are trying to invade our world by sending insects into it!"
After examining the intelligence provided by Jia Xu with a furrowed brow, Mu Yi immediately entered "God mode," scrutinizing every inch of Africa from a global perspective.
As it turned out, he did discover a problem.
It wasn't just a problem with the insects, but also with the demon race. When he used the Natural Disaster Secret Technique to deal with the African demon race before, there were still some that escaped, which Mu Yi found somewhat unbelievable.
What's worse, these two things seem to have joined forces, trying to bypass the spatial barrier of the Nine Cauldrons and build a stable spatial passage.
When Mu Yi saw this, he was absolutely furious.
He never expected that while he was cleaning up the Qing court, his own backyard would catch fire.
If Jia Xu hadn't discovered it early, it might have really caused a big problem.
"Pass on my order: immediately destroy all experimental materials related to the Zerg Scourge. All related materials must be destroyed and must not be kept without authorization. Huang Tianji will supervise the implementation!"
Mu Yi gasped in shock and quickly issued orders to deal with the situation, as the insect plague was far too dangerous.
This thing, developed by several military geniuses, has now become a global disaster after countless rounds of evolution.
He didn't even dare to think about whether, if this thing continued to develop, it might evolve into some kind of Zerg concept.
If it becomes the kind of bizarre concept where the mere existence of reproduction leads to the proliferation of insects, that would be a truly serious problem.
Most importantly, this is not wishful thinking.
Among the global concepts that Mu Yi encountered, there were indeed similar ones.
It's like the Candle Dragon, which is the embodiment of the concept of time after it has become sentient.
If insects eventually evolve into this monstrous thing, it might not just be a global catastrophe, but a cosmic one.
Mu Yi seemed to have already seen it all: the concept of reproduction was being taken over by insects. Insects would appear in all animals and plants, as long as they had the concept of reproduction and birth. How terrible that would be.
At that time, even if we included the three great empires of Xinghan, Mongol Yuan, and Ming, it might not be enough to fill the gap.
"Fortunately, it was discovered early. I'll have First Huang Tian handle it. With me here, nothing like this should happen again!"
Mu Yi let out a long breath, marked the locations of the insects and demons with starlight, then exited God Mode and spoke to Jia Xu and Guo Jia.
"Praise be to the Emperor!"
The two breathed a sigh of relief, especially Jia Xu, who was the most panicked as he knew how dangerous insects could be.
These things had obviously been developing for a while, and they happened while Mu Yi was away, so it was clear that he, as the chief steward, couldn't escape the consequences.
"What's the situation on the Ming side now?"
After pondering for a moment, Mu Yi inquired about the situation in the Ming Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty's situation was considered to be settled, and it seemed that the insect plague they had created to keep the Ming Dynasty from intervening should also be dealt with.
"According to the intelligence sent back earlier, it seems that most of the Zerg have been eliminated, but there are still some Zerg that have evolved marine life characteristics that have not been dealt with."
Jia Xu also felt a genuine sense of fear. He understood what the consequences would be if the military genius and his ilk were allowed to act recklessly.
Have you ever heard of insects that can reproduce infinitely in the sea?
The mere thought of one day emerging from the ocean not from seawater, but from a sea of insects is terrifying enough.
Of course, this was not the most troublesome thing for the Ming Dynasty; the most troublesome thing was the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, which took advantage of the situation.
They had to contend with pressure from the Mongol Yuan dynasty while dealing with these insects, and even the Ming dynasty was finding it difficult to cope.
"I have a bad feeling about this!"
Mu Yi rubbed his temples; he genuinely felt there was something wrong.
It's not that the Ming Dynasty couldn't deal with the sea bugs; that would be underestimating the Ming Dynasty. Without the Mongol Yuan Dynasty's restraint, the Ming Dynasty could have wiped out the bugs in no time.
Nurhaci's actions have already said it all, not to mention the terrifying existence of the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, whose imperial will controlled multiple world empires.
The willpower alone was enough to annihilate the insectoid race, but unfortunately, the Eternal Heaven held the Hongwu Emperor back so tightly that the Ming Dynasty could not solve the insect problem in one fell swoop.
The only way to limit the Zerg's reproduction and expansion is through various secret techniques, but everyone knows that this behavior is undoubtedly training the Zerg.
The quality of surviving Zerg will become increasingly terrifying, but the Ming Dynasty currently has no better solution than this self-destructive approach.
"and many more……"
Mu Yi's eye suddenly twitched; he had suddenly thought of something quite terrifying.
What do you think is the probability that insects will evolve the ability to teleport?
Mu Yi rubbed his temples. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that something really seemed to have happened.
"There's a 30% chance! There's a 70% chance the bugs escaped from the experimental base!" Jia Xu said after a moment of silence.
"If we assume that insects really have the ability to teleport, do you think that insects would exist in all the worlds under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty?"
If insects can travel to this world through their connection to their birthplace, is it possible for them to travel to other worlds in the Ming Dynasty through the same connection?
If Jia Xu and Guo Jia hadn't considered this possibility, after Mu Yi pointed it out, they both couldn't help but start thinking about it.
"Probably not..." Jia Xu's face was slightly pale, and his voice trembled slightly.
"It's not that I can't, it's just a matter of reality!" Guo Jia's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant, his already injured face becoming even more pale.
"This is probably not the worst of it!" Guo Jia's face showed a slight pain. After being activated by Mu Yi, he immediately thought of another possibility.
They threw insects at the Ming Dynasty to restrain it. So, if the Ming Dynasty wanted to restrain the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, what would be the best course of action?
Naturally, it would also involve throwing insects. With the capabilities of the Ming Dynasty, it was entirely possible to catch some insects and send them to the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.
The insects that had been dealt with by the Ming Dynasty had learned their lesson and had learned to hide.
If an unknown number of insects were lurking in both the Ming and Mongol Yuan dynasties, it would be an absolutely terrifying thing.
"Humanity will indeed be destroyed by its own hands!"
Mu Yi also considered the worst-case scenario.
If countless treacherous insects are lurking within both the Ming and Mongol Yuan dynasties, then the nature of the problem has truly become a serious issue.
What's even more critical is that the two empires were so engrossed in their infighting that they were completely unaware of this.
Fortunately, judging from the scale of the insectoid race that Mu Yi discovered, even if the insectoids have evolved the ability to teleport, it is a recent development and they will not become a significant threat in the near future.
But if things continue to develop like this, then it's hard to say what will happen.
"Your Majesty, should we stand by and watch from the sidelines? Or..." Jia Xu and Guo Jia both looked at Mu Yi.
In their view, this could be an opportunity.
The insects might not be enough to destroy two vast empires, but they would certainly cause them considerable trouble. (End of Chapter)
