You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

The Great Qian spiritualists in the center of the battlefield sensed something, but not clearly. They only felt an immense pressure descending, causing their bodies to involuntarily bend.

boom!

Feng Tianyin stomped her foot hard, creating waves that interrupted the waterspout. The surging spiritual energy formed ripples that seemed to bloom. She won by sheer quantity, using the spiritual energy strengthened by the power of faith to fight back.

She didn't look at the enemy in front of her, but instead gazed into the distance at the hidden, unleashed energy...

Perhaps we should set aside a portion to proactively isolate its impact; it's not that we can't do it, it's just a bit troublesome.

“Just go ahead and do it.”

The pollution was completely washed away when the familiar voice rang in my ears.

A faint, almost imperceptible thought of the Heavenly Dao descended, and only the high priest, with whom he had a close connection, perceived it most clearly. Yes, this was fighting side by side.

It's been a long time since we've had this kind of collaboration.

Xia He purified all the contamination that had attempted to invade, not through isolation as Feng Tianyin had envisioned, but by completely eradicating it. She couldn't allow variables to affect the battlefield any longer; all that remained was for her to witness.

The Daqian army immediately felt that the heart-palpitating power disappear.

"It must be that the high priest prayed to the heavens for blessings."

That's a very understanding explanation, but it's pretty much the same, achieving the same result, all for one thing:

I'll crush you.

No longer hesitant, Feng Tianyin gripped her weapon and unleashed a new wave of spiritual energy to strengthen herself, her momentum even greater. Even the once-mad Blessed One calmed down, let out a low roar, and charged forward to engage in close combat.

The clanging and pounding of the balls, accompanied by wave after wave of impact, made it impossible for anyone to intervene.

Both Daqian and Qingzhou had no choice but to retreat.

Of course, they hadn't forgotten their battles either, fighting and retreating, gradually clearing the central battlefield. That was a stage for the extraordinary, not a place for mere mortals like them.

Even heroes and powerful figures are, in essence, just people who have a stronger grasp of spiritual energy, and are limited by the times they have not yet demonstrated extraordinary abilities.

In contrast, those two were beyond expectations.

No.

It should be said that there was only one, because everyone was not blind and could see that the blessing that the Qingzhou general suddenly received was not right, and it was probably some kind of pollution... The Qingzhou soldiers became even more confused after thinking about this.

As a result, Da Qian relentlessly pursued and attacked them, gradually revealing their defeat.

Xia He could see everything clearly from her vantage point. At that moment, the Daqian army on the riverbank also sprang into action. Under the command of Du Shaoqian, who was now free to act, they surrounded the riverbank and formed a battle formation, ready to fight at any time.

Of course, such ruthless tactics could easily trigger a desperate last stand, resulting in excessive losses for oneself.

Therefore, Daqian was in no hurry to attack, but instead waited it out.

Anyway, I'll just waste my time with you on my home turf.

Wearing heavy armor and having been exposed to smoke and fire, the Qingzhou soldiers were exhausted, panting and listless.

Humans are not made of iron, and the energy of people cannot be ignored in war.

Just as the situation on the shore began to turn one-sided, Xia He discovered on the other side that Feng Tianyin had gained the upper hand, almost unilaterally beating the Qingzhou general who had received the Great Blessing. The latter was covered in wounds and retreated step by step.

Is this little robot really that powerful?

At this moment, she is conducting a martial arts demonstration, presenting the most magnificent results to the Heavenly Dao; the enemy is merely a target.

Are you crazy?

The Blesser had no idea that Feng Tianyin's attack would be so fierce.

An ordinary person would have died long ago from outputting this level of psionic energy; it would have completely destroyed their body. However, the gray-haired girl fought with increasing ferocity, as if she had inexhaustible strength that was transformed into surging waves of energy.

Hidden within the waves, its power is unstoppable.

The spear in his hand was broken by a heavy blow, his hand went numb, and his whole arm was trembling.

"Why is your power unfathomable? This is impossible." Having only reached this level after receiving a blessing, he was extremely unwilling.

"This is the great power of the Heavenly Way."

Feng Tianyin kicked the armor in front of her chest, sending metal pieces flying and blood splattering everywhere.

This blow was enough to dent the fortress gate, and the Blessed One, stumbling and clutching his chest while coughing up blood, miraculously survived. He was incredibly resilient, or perhaps his body, already hollowed out by corrupted psionic energy, had no real weaknesses.

He vaguely saw what appeared to be a wisp of auspicious cloud above the gray-haired girl's head.

Heaven!

He was indeed watching; if it weren't for the perception of the sea god, he probably wouldn't have noticed how much attention this battle was receiving.

This is bad! That's a deity of the Great Qian Dynasty!

Xia He sneered at the NPC's sudden stunned expression. He was scared. But fear was useless; he was doomed. She couldn't allow the corrupting tentacles to reach this area; they had to be eliminated for her safety.

With perfect understanding, Feng Tianyin stepped forward to pursue and launched another offensive, firmly suppressing the enemy.

"I'll fight you to the death."

The Blessed One, having made up his mind, began to fight back with all his might. The collision between the two forces shattered the flagship, the mast collapsed, the rudder broke, and the deck flew apart. A flagship that embodied the pinnacle of Qingzhou shipbuilding slowly sank.

Their extraordinary power made the entire battlefield forget to breathe.

Humans can actually reach such a level? To be able to unleash such power represents a transformation in the essence of life, a completely new stage. The psionicists present must have benefited greatly.

The new era is just around the corner, and we are witnessing it.

People were more excited than concerned about the war itself; the outcome was about to be decided.

boom!

With a loud crash, the Qingzhou commander was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, landing with a thud on a piece of deck wreckage, his flesh and blood creating a dent.

However, this time he didn't have the same steely body as before.

The power of blessing is waning.

While keeping a close eye on the battlefield, Xia He also made sure to remove any remaining contamination, ensuring the enemy hadn't left any hidden threats. It was merely a hazy subspace will, possessing nascent power thanks to the faith of the masses, still primitive, and at least limited in its ability to interfere outside its territory.

From this perspective, Feng Tianyin actually did the right thing by making the first battle take place within the territory of Daqian.

Her consistent strategy kept the situation under control.

"You're going to die."

The gray-haired girl looked at the general lying in front of her and coldly pronounced her sentence, as the latter's body gradually turned to ashes.

"Yes, you can take the victory, but please spare the lives of those people."

"I have always treated them kindly as long as they are willing to surrender."

Feng Tianyin didn't have any particular aversion to killing prisoners of war; she simply believed that the human workforce should be used efficiently, and there was no need for mass killings. Besides, there was no need to kill to save food rations, as there was plenty of food.

Upon hearing this, the loser peacefully closed his eyes and vanished completely.

The price of bestowing blessings is quite high.

No remains were found, not a trace was left, only the tokens worn by the deceased indicated that they had been there and were also symbols of victory.

Xia He watched as Feng Tianyin, who emerged from the flames untouched by the bloody battle, her imposing figure conveying a clear message. With one hand on the sword at her waist and the other holding aloft the general's token and helmet, the answer was self-evident.

Whoosh!

Many Qingzhou soldiers voluntarily laid down their weapons, and Daqian silently accepted this.

"Your Majesty, I have won. Thank you for your help."

“You can handle this even without me. Remember this experience and wrap things up well. We will continue on to the capital of Qingzhou in the south.”

The implication was that he would come to visit often? Upon hearing this, Feng Tianyin's face lit up with joy. It seemed that this expedition would not be boring after all. In fact, she should thank the enemy in the south for giving her an excellent opportunity to spend more time with His Majesty.

She was as happy as if she were at a festival.

The Daqian soldiers, who were cheering and celebrating, were naturally happy for this hard-won victory.

"One minute on stage requires ten years of practice off stage." This battle required an immense investment of time and effort.

Most of them were not good at naval warfare, and even for this simple charge, they trained for a long time, swaying and vomiting, and feeling dizzy all day before they could get used to it.

Not to mention the shipbuilding, deck washing, and canvas cleaning involved in this war. Those who went ashore were cavalry, and those who went on board were sailors. The arduous training was unbearable, but in the end, we won.

Victory means a generous military reward.

Those who survived will pass on their experience; in fact, Feng Tianyin is already training sailors for the Great Qian Dynasty.

Inland waterways are a great stage.

Let them get used to it in advance, so that it will be easier to explore the intercontinental sea later.

She then ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, the prisoners to be taken in, and the river to be cleared, so that it would be clear enough to advance into the enemy's core area in one go.

Xia He looked down at the battlefield from a higher vantage point. The supply fleet, which was far behind the Qingzhou fleet, was blocked and unable to advance. This was because the Daqian army was controlling the villages, ports and other areas along the coast.

This was a light cavalry corps that was dispatched simultaneously.

Years of training have made the cavalry a strong point of the Great Qian Dynasty. Even if the ships have to dock eventually, the basic strategy of the temple's high command is to first control the riverbanks and then advance downstream.

clever.

A simultaneous land and sea attack is necessary to ensure coordination and efficiency.

Inland waterway shipping is a natural logistics artery, and once it is fully operational, it can continuously supply the surrounding areas with resources.

Therefore, after a brief reorganization, Feng Tianyin continued south.

Before news of victory could reach the Great Qian territory, and before news of defeat could reach the capital of Qingzhou, this massive fleet had already sailed downstream towards the enemy.

It was aggressive but not fast.

Because Feng Tianyin acted steadily and methodically, she appeased, absorbed, and controlled cities and villages along the way.

She wasn't there to crush anyone, nor was she seeking speed; rather, she aimed for control. Prevention was key. What if rebels, guerrillas, or bandits suddenly emerged from the rear? Wouldn't that just create chaos? Heaven itself didn't like "Lindenwan" wreaking havoc everywhere; she couldn't act recklessly.

Since you're doing this for that person, you should complete the task diligently and produce tangible results.

Xia He observed that the loyalty rates in the occupied territories along the way were all above 50%, after all, the Great Qian Dynasty had solidified its power through a series of measures including religion, military garrisons, and trade.

They didn't treat it like a blood bank, but rather ran it like their own home.

sincere.

Feeling this sincerity, Qingzhou was happy to accept the new ruler. Zhenhai and Xiayi were too far away from them, and the immediate benefits were more tangible. So they surrendered without hesitation and welcomed him wholeheartedly.
