Yue Dan's heart skipped a beat.

"Yue Dan, obey my command."

"Your subject is here!"

Yun Yi's voice was calm as still water, yet every word seemed etched into Yue Dan's bones:

"In the name of the Emperor, I hereby appoint you as the Grand General Who Protects the Nation."

【Ding--】

[Host's use of "Emperor's Seal" detected.]

[Target of conferment: Yue Dan]

[Appointed Title: Grand General Who Guards the Nation (First Rank)]

[National Fortune Consumption: 50000 points]

[Actively in effect...]

Yue Dan's body jolted violently.

An indescribable force descended from the sky, pouring into his body as if it were a tangible substance.

It was no longer the gentle permeation of before, but rather domineering, fierce, and devastating.

His muscles began to swell, his bones began to grow, and his meridians began to widen—but this time, there was no pain.

There is only one feeling.

Take control.

Absolute control.

He could feel his strength increasing exponentially.

Two hundred thousand catties.

300,000 jin.

500,000 jin.

One million catties.

It hasn't stopped yet.

At the same time, countless pieces of information flooded his mind—military strategies, battle formations, and the art of marching and deploying troops.

The key points that he had fought for half his life but had never figured out came pouring in like a waterfall.

Immediately afterwards, three more streams of power, like decrees of heaven and earth, surged into his body.

A match for ten thousand men.

A match for 100,000 men.

An enemy of a million men.

He is now truly an enemy of a million men.

"Yue Dan".

Yun Yi's voice came through, as calm as if nothing had happened.

Yue Dan suddenly came to his senses, knelt on one knee, and touched the ground with his forehead.

"My lord - thank you, Your Majesty!"

His voice was trembling.

It's not out of fear, but because it's grace, a grace that transcends all.

"stand up."

Yun Yi reached out and helped him up. "I entrust the 30,000 Imperial Guards to you."

"Four hundred thousand cavalrymen, I want you to annihilate them all."

Yue Dan's pupils contracted slightly.

Annihilated.

It wasn't a repulsion, it wasn't a defense, it was a complete annihilation.

Four hundred thousand cavalry.

Thirty thousand imperial guards.

In terms of troop strength, it's thirteen to one.

Three days ago, he would have thought His Majesty had gone mad.

But now—he clenched his fist.

That power is still surging within me.

"minister--"

He raised his head, his gaze burning like fire. "I obey!"

……

Half an hour later.

Imperial Guard Camp.

The 30,000 Imperial Guards assembled.

Yue Dan stood on the command platform, his black iron armor gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

His gaze swept over the 30,000 faces below the stage—some young, some weathered, some excited, some nervous.

But everyone was looking at him.

"Brothers."

Yue Dan spoke, his voice not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

Three days ago, His Majesty asked me if I dared to follow.

"I said, once I'm with you, it's for life."

"Today, His Majesty asked me if I dared to fight."

He paused, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "I said, hit."

"Give them a good beating, turn the world upside down."

"Slay them until they are completely wiped out."

Below the stage, the 30,000 Imperial Guards were all stunned.

Why is the President so arrogant today?

"Do you guys think I'm crazy?"

Yue Dan's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"Four hundred thousand wolf cavalry, we have thirty thousand imperial guards, a thirteen-to-one ratio, how can we possibly win?"

"I'll tell you—how to fight!"

He raised his hand and punched the sky.

boom!

The force of the punch solidified, exploding in the air with a sonic boom that made everyone's ears ring.

Immediately afterwards, a huge gap appeared in the clouds in the sky, which then receded at an extremely fast speed.

The previously overcast sky instantly brightened.

A single punch shattered the clouds, and the sun peeked out.

The entire venue was deathly silent.

Everyone was stunned.

The President's punch... Is this a god descending?

"Did you see that?"

Yue Dan withdrew his hand, stood with his hands behind his back, and said, "This is the power His Majesty has given me."

"Today, each of you will receive the same power."

He raised his hand and pointed north.

"Those beasts on the grasslands slaughtered Yunzhou and killed three thousand of our brothers."

"The prefect of Yunzhou died defending the city."

"He was still holding a knife in his hand before he died."

Yue Dan's voice suddenly turned low.

"Brothers, do you know what this means? It means they're waiting for us."

"We'll go get our revenge."

"Let's go and kill those beasts."

Below the stage, the eyes of the 30,000 Imperial Guards gradually turned red.

"today--"

Yue Dan took a deep breath, his voice booming like thunder, "His Majesty entrusts you to me."

"I give you my power."

"Then—let's go together and wreak havoc!"

"kill!"

The 30,000 Imperial Guards roared in unison.

The sound shook the heavens.

……

The Imperial Study.

Yun Yi stood by the window, listening to the roars coming from afar, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Yue Dan..."

He whispered the name.

The nation's fortune is at 50,000 points.

Is it worth it?

value.

Yue Dan is both a general and a sword.

If this sword is fast and sharp enough, 30,000 Imperial Guards can cut through 400,000 Wolf Cavalry.

As for sending out all 30,000 Imperial Guards, will anyone come to raid our base?

Yun Yi didn't know, but he really hoped someone would come.

He turned around and looked at another piece of intelligence.

north.

That demon who slaughtered forty-one cities.

He didn't know who it was, but he did know one thing—the other person was heading towards Kyoto.

The route of the massacre was very simple; when connected, it led directly to the capital city where he was located.

"bring it on."

Yun Yi said softly, "I'll be waiting for you in the palace."

……

outside of Kyoto.

A horse-drawn carriage slowly approached.

Zhou Zhen lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the majestic city wall in the distance.

Kyoto.

The capital of the Great Yan Dynasty.

That little emperor is inside.

He lowered the carriage curtain, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"interesting."

He said softly, "Let me see what you're capable of."

"I hope it's not too weak, otherwise it will be really boring."

……

Jiangnan, Tiangong Army Camp.

Mu Yu stood in front of the silver-white building, her brows furrowed.

It's been three days.

Ever since receiving the news of the young emperor's ascension to the throne, she has been restless and uneasy.

It wasn't out of fear, it was out of intuition.

She couldn't explain what happened, only that after the emperor ascended the throne, her experiments never succeeded again.

Although the success rate of experiments is not high to begin with, and this is compounded by the circumstances of this world—if it fails even once, then there is a problem.

"leader."

A young man in a white lab coat strode over. "Gene Enhancement Fluid, Generation II, the first batch of finished products is ready."

Mu Yu's eyes lit up:

"How many?"

"A thousand."

Is that enough?

The young man hesitated for a moment:

"Chief, the effect of this batch of enhancement fluid... is ten times stronger than the first generation."

"But there's a problem."

Mu Yu frowned:

"What's the problem?"

"Success rate".

The young man lowered his head. "Only 30%."

Mu Yu remained silent for a moment.

%.

Of a thousand people, only three hundred will survive.

But the three hundred who survived—each of them could lift 50,000 jin with one arm.

Each one could withstand musket bullets.

Each one is a humanoid beast.

"Continue production."

Mu Yu waved her hand, "Of those thousand, pick the most loyal ones for me."

"Yes."

The young man stepped down.

Mu Yu stood still, looking north.

The silver-white building gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

……

Kyoto, the Imperial Palace.

Inside the Imperial Study, Yun Yi stood by the window, gazing at the leaden-gray sky in the distance.

Seven days after his ascension to the throne.

He has barely slept for seven days.

It's not that I don't want to sleep—it's that I can't fall asleep.

Every day, he received all sorts of memorials, even though his entire family was there reviewing them, and even his retired father was brought up to review them.

But we still can't finish approving them all!
