Gao Wu: My freshman internship was a battle on the front lines.

A month later.

Under Ye Feng's orders, the restarted state apparatus of Great Xia operated at full capacity for a full thirty days.

Every day, countless new war puppets roll off the production line.

In a full month, a total of 100,000 fourth- and fifth-tier puppets were produced.

Ten thousand sixth-order puppets were also produced.

There are also thousands of enhanced puppets.

Among them were even 130 martial god-level puppets.

"Vivian! This is enough for the war's expenses. But we must continue to increase production."

"I hope the next war against alien races will be entirely mechanized."

Vivian, standing to the side, couldn't help but mutter, "Does Master have some kind of psychological trauma? Why is he so terrified of insufficient firepower?"

During this month.

Every day, new martial artists break through their bottlenecks with the help of resources and techniques.

Those direct descendants of the Mountain and River Prefecture's Martial Gods have all broken through to the late stage of Martial God with the help of fragments of the Great Dao.

Looking at the remaining fragments of the Great Dao in his hand, Ye Feng directly raised the strength of all the Martial Gods in Jiangcheng to the half-step invincible realm.

Other martial artists also experienced significant improvements thanks to the accumulation of countless resources.

All elite members of the Wuwanshanhe Prefecture have broken through to the fourth rank.

Then there's the aspect of warships.

Every day, new warships are upgraded under Vivian's modifications.

Among them, there are as many as 55 Martial God-class warships, and all of the other 150 warships have been upgraded to Martial Venerable-class warships.

The national strength of the Great Xia Dynasty is increasing at a visible rate.

Those resources that were once hidden away by the four prefectures of Guanzhong and the likes of Wang Zun.

All of this money has been continuously invested in military development and improving people's livelihoods.

Vivian stood inside the god-class warship, her blue eyes fixed on the newly generated grand military parade plan before her.

A slight smile played on her sexy lips.

She projected the plan onto the light screen in front of Ye Feng.

"Master, the grand military parade in the square is ready. All procedures have been confirmed, all formations are in position, and the connections between each stage have been simulated to ensure there will be no problems."

Ye Feng carefully reviewed the documents: "Alright! We'll set off immediately after the military parade, targeting the Mechanical Race."

The central square of Okawa Kyoto.

Today is the busiest day since it was reopened.

The square was newly decorated, with a red carpet stretching from the reviewing stand to the edge of the square.

On both sides were neatly arranged flags, each embroidered with a new golden dragon emblem.

The viewing platform was packed with people.

Representatives from various prefectures and cities of the Great Xia Dynasty, as well as high-ranking military and Night Watch generals.

There were also the young officials personally promoted by Ye Feng.

And representatives of the people who came from all over the country.

The area around the square was packed with people.

People from Kyoto arrived early in the morning to reserve their spots, crowding the square to the point of being impassable.

Those who couldn't get in found a spot on the nearby streets or rooftops.

Just to catch a glimpse of the grand spectacle that was about to begin.

Influential figures from major media outlets and online platforms had already set up their equipment, aiming their long lenses and microphones at the center of the square.

Cameras, video cameras, and mobile phones were arranged densely.

Dozens of live streaming rooms were turned on simultaneously, displaying the real-time scene of the square on the screen.

Millions of people flooded into each live stream room instantly.

The chat in the live stream never stopped from the very first second.

"Great Xia is awesome!"

"Long live King Ye Feng of Great Xia!"

"What's going on here? Is there a war?"

"I've never seen such a grand spectacle before."

"To be honest, isn't the King of Xia going to wage war abroad?"

"Will this work? The Mechanical Race and the Heavenly Demon Race each have dozens of Martial Gods, and the alien beasts in the southern mountains are said to have as many as fifty or sixty Martial Gods."

"Yes! How many Martial Gods does the Great Xia Dynasty have? Less than twenty, right?"

"Take a look! I believe the King of Great Xia is not the kind of impulsive person."

The host in the live broadcast room was also enthusiastically explaining: "Good morning, everyone! Today is a day destined to be recorded in history."

"At the central square of the Great Xia capital, King Ye Feng of Great Xia will hold a grand military parade to demonstrate the strength we have accumulated over this period to the entire Great Xia."

"This is the first time in decades that the Great Xia has held a military parade of this scale. The Great Xia is announcing to the world that it has returned!"

The military parade officially began at 9:00 a.m.

The first to appear were the fifty Martial Venerables who had just been promoted to Martial God.

They wore brand-new God of War armor, with golden spirit arrays engraved on the silver-white armor.

Fifty martial gods lined up in a neat square formation and marched past the rostrum with synchronized steps.

Their auras were calm and heavy, and the combined pressure of fifty early-stage Martial Gods created a sense of impending doom.

Although they tried to restrain themselves, their imposing presence still instilled a deep sense of awe in the ordinary people in the square.

The host's voice came from the loudspeaker array, clear and powerful, every word carrying weight.

"The first formation to appear consists of fifty powerful individuals who have just broken through to the Martial God realm with the support of the Great Xia King."

"They come from all over the eight prefectures and two capitals of the Great Xia Dynasty. There are veterans who have crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, night watchmen who silently protect the peace of their region, and wilderness hunters who have spent most of their lives fighting against strange beasts in the wilderness."

"Today, they stand here to declare to everyone that the power of Great Xia has begun to be rebuilt from this moment on."

"The Great Xia also possesses the martial god's power to awe the world."

The host introduced each name one after another, and behind each name was a heart-wrenching story.

As Li Dashan walked past the reviewing stand, several veterans on the viewing platform raised their right hands and saluted him.

His eyes were a little red, but he didn't stop walking.

After the formations passed the reviewing stand, the host began to read out their appointments.

"Li Dashan, the former commander of the Northeast Garrison Army, shall assume the position of Governor of the Northwest Garrison, effective immediately. Wang Xiuying, the former militia captain of the Northeast Garrison, shall assume the position of Garrison Commander of the Beihai Garrison, effective immediately."

"Zhao Shanhe, former deputy director of the Northeast Prefecture Night Watch, shall assume the position of director of the Southeast Prefecture Night Watch, effective immediately."

The thirty names correspond to thirty positions, all of which are the three most important positions in the eight prefectures and the two capitals.

The lord of the manor and the chief of the night watch were appointed one by one.

Everyone around was stunned. Some rubbed their eyes, thinking they had misheard.

"Am I seeing things? They've already produced fifty martial gods?"

"The Great Xia Dynasty has suddenly produced fifty Martial Gods! That's incredible!"

"Weren't they Martial Venerables just a while ago? And now they've become Martial Gods? And Martial Gods who will forever guard the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Wasn't the Great Xia King going to wage war against the foreign tribes? Why did he leave all the War Gods within the country?"

"From now on, each prefecture will have three martial gods guarding it forever. Then, who among these alien races and beasts will dare to attack Great Xia?"
