You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

Chapter 5: Only by becoming intangible can one dodge.

"Go quickly to rescue the high priest."

Seeing Feng Tianyin fall from her horse and be surrounded by warriors, the Daqian cavalry panicked, after all, they didn't know the upper limit of divine power protection.

The most composed person was Xia He, who continued to beat up the passing barbarians without any concern for what might happen.

As a programmer, you should have confidence in the code you write.

Ping!

Amidst a deafening crack, Feng Tianyin rose from beside her warhorse, sweeping her weapons across the ground and shattering a ring of stone spears and axes. The difference in quality was too great; they crumbled at the slightest touch.

Moreover, her weapon is quite unique.

It's not swords or knives, because they are prone to chipping when used intensively, require finding the right angle when slashing, and their armor-piercing ability is also questionable.

In comparison, her two triangular bronze weapons were practically "wheelchairs" despite being wielded.

Just now, Feng Tianyin found the perfect angle to defeat the enemy.

"Go to hell!"

The barbarian warriors unleashed their powerless, furious attacks, but all of them missed, as if there were no air in front of them. Conversely, the enemy was able to attack them—it was too unfair; she was allowed to hit them, but they weren't allowed to hit her.

Xia He glanced at it and then ignored it.

Do you have a problem with the code I wrote? Go talk to the backend administrators.

She had planned for all scenarios in advance, and for safety's sake, she had prepared two layers of indestructible attributes for Feng Tianyin:

On the one hand, there is the physical inviolability of the collision volume. For example, deflecting an arrow.

So the other side might think that simply surrounding and restricting freedom would achieve the same goal, such as when the barbarians swarmed in to try to block them.

wrong.

On the other hand, other physical collisions will automatically blur the volume as the volume increases, without affecting the attack.

Therefore, Feng Tianyin can neither be harmed nor imprisoned. Even if someone in the future has the wildest imagination to exploit loopholes, they can always patch them. Xia He even welcomes finding bugs; only by discovering problems can they be solved.

"You think you can hurt my program?"

Looking around, the girl in the bronze armor wielding two weapons went on a killing spree, leaving trails of blood with each swing, her attacks aimed at vital organs such as the throat, heart, and temples.

She doesn't need to parry or dodge; she can just aim and shoot.

Is this martial arts?

Although Xia He was a complete novice, she could tell that Feng Tianyin had skill and technique; a trained practitioner would recognize that at a glance.

The skillful technique made up for the lack of strength.

The vast amount of learning materials, combined with the summarization and deduction of battlefield experience, formed a "battlefield combat AI" that was unparalleled in foot combat. After dismounting, it chased the barbarians and fled in all directions.

Unfortunately, her solo performance was short-lived, and within a few rounds, the Daqian cavalry once again protected Feng Tianyin.

"We apologize for being late, which has put you in danger."

"The high priest was exceptionally brave and skilled in martial arts."

"May the Heaven protect the Great Qian Army. How could mere barbarians harm your precious body?"

Let's forget about the scene where he was stabbed off the horse because of his terrible riding skills.

She mounted her horse, looked around, and ordered: "Half of you go and drive away the enemy forces, the rest of you take control of the people in the camp."

Yes, sir.

A political creature that is extremely rational and calculating will not get carried away, nor will it feel angry about losing face. It will immediately get into the zone and issue orders as if nothing happened, with the key being to consolidate its gains.

Her strategic goal from beginning to end was to seize slaves; population was the wealth she valued most.

Xia He belonged to the side surrounding the camp.

In fact, no skill was required. A tall and strong warrior could simply stand there and block one side, easily controlling the situation and preventing the remaining barbarians from resisting.

They stood obediently together, close to each other, and refused to touch their weapons.

They dared not resist.

The barbarian warriors who had just taken up arms were not spared; the pursuing Daqian cavalry slaughtered them one by one, leaving no one alive. This was meant to show you, especially those who attempted to attack the High Priest—they were absolutely unforgivable and killed immediately.

Moments later, when they returned, the barbarian warriors were nowhere to be seen on the vast plain.

Some self-proclaimed clever people sneaked away.

The sharp-eyed Daqian cavalry spotted him and snareed him with a lasso. He only had time to utter a sigh of "What a misery!" before he was captured.

The situation is completely under control.

The crowd stood facing the raging flames until they gradually died down. In the chilling atmosphere, Feng Tianyin said coldly:

"As payment for your offense, you must atone as slaves. But as I said before, you can buy your freedom. Are you willing to submit?"

"It's an honor for us to be dogs of the Great Qian Dynasty."

The spineless barbarians who had just escaped death didn't care about treatment; staying alive was the most important thing.

"good."

Feng Tianyin ignored it and left it to her subordinates to handle. Years of warfare had established a standard workflow in Daqian: order the barbarians to pack their belongings, take as much supplies as possible, and destroy anything they couldn't take.

Then the ropes are tied around their hands and waists, and they are strung together in a long line to complete the process.

The camp's supplies were basically enough for the journey.

The offense was just an excuse; she was determined to kill some of the enemies to save food.

The barbarian tribes' productivity was far inferior to that of the Xia-yi city-states, and their stored grain was insufficient to sustain them, let alone a long march that involved no production and only consumption. If the entire tribe surrendered and was captured, it would inevitably lead to a period of famine during the march, resulting in more losses than gains and adding unnecessary complications.

We need to be careful with our money.

Xia He witnessed the camp being dismantled bit by bit, supplies being quickly gathered, and strict military discipline, with no instances of embezzlement of spoils.

She hadn't expected these people to be so honest, which showed the high quality of the soldiers.

I was prepared to see the "chaos" of this war, but it turned out to be very orderly.

Moreover, the spoils were clearly categorized on the spot.

"Sir, the records are all here."

The accompanying officer first handed the animal skin scroll to Feng Tianyin. After scanning it, she openly ordered it to be made public, so even Xia He, who had been trying to remain invisible, would now know about it.

遴选带走的奴隶2200人、牛30头、羊67只、鸡150只、马20匹……

No wonder everyone doesn't keep it to themselves. After all, with statistics and announcements made public, there's very little room for deception. Most importantly, the high priest doesn't care about filling his own pockets.

Bringing it back to the city-state will bring huge profits.

The slaves and livestock, along with grain, tools, and ores, made up for the expedition's expenses and even generated a profit, with very few casualties.

No wonder everyone supports the expedition and there are even signs of "Spartanization".

However, Xia He knew that Feng Tianyin herself was the one who paid the most attention to balancing income and expenditure. Every expense was weighed in her mind, and with the current productivity, a five-day journey was already the limit.

Unbridled expansion is not advisable; it's time to digest the gains.

She glanced at the data [Effective population control: 90K] which was approaching the 10 mark.

Exceeding 10 unlocks more facilities, agendas, and more.

However, more than half of them were slaves, which was actually a dangerous proportion. Fortunately, she managed things well, otherwise a slave revolt would have been very troublesome.

"Rest and recuperate."

Feng Tianyin issued her final order before the triumphant return.

Then her gaze fell on Xia He, the character she was controlling, who was protecting everyone in front of her. Her empty, inorganic eyes suddenly shone with light.

"You...you, come here."

Chapter 6 Dragon, the Sign of an Emperor

I?

Xia He pointed to herself, and Feng Tianyin on the opposite side nodded. Then she dismounted and walked to a tree.

She followed, of course.

As the character moved, Xia He switched to another screen, taking over Feng Tianyin's perspective. She hadn't noticed before, but upon looking, she was shocked to see something:

The soaring beam of psionic light engulfed his figure.

It was less like a person and more like a radiant beam of light descending from the heavens, converging and shimmering before her. Only a fool wouldn't notice; she probably already knew who she was, but just hadn't pointed it out earlier.

"So you've actually already vaguely sensed psionic energy? No wonder."

However, it is still a long way from its version.

The current theme is the nascent technology and culture of ancient times, at most featuring some heroes with the fighting power to take on a hundred enemies.

Although the high degree of freedom in deduction may lead to some differences from the game's development, the overall tone is similar.

“I can see.”

Feng Tianyin nodded politely in confirmation, then asked:

"Besides me, have you been observing other beings? Am I not the only one?"

Xia He was caught off guard by an unexpected question. She had thought the two were going to discuss the past and present and strategize, and she was worried that she would lose face if she couldn't answer. But this was how they started.

It's not narcissism, but doesn't that sound a little...?

envy?

She looked directly into Feng Tianyin's eyes, which were usually purple and sparkled like jewels. Unfortunately, her face was expressionless, and upon closer inspection, it seemed completely artificial.
