Chapter 302: A Vast Territory, People From the Celestial Empire
Well, as Louis guessed, the Eastern Celestial Empire must have at least hundreds of millions of adult supernatural powers.
That is, he focused all his attention on the Celestial Empire's powerful army, powerful weapons, superb craftsmanship, and various incredible items, and did not learn about the Celestial Empire's population.
Otherwise, he would know that the Celestial Empire today has at least billions of people.
But just like that, he was almost shocked to the point of being speechless.
But at the same time as he was disappointed, he was also somewhat excited and yearning.
Because this means that there is still a way ahead, and his strength can still continue to improve.
After the succession ceremony, Liu Guangde, who had gained powerful power, did not change his original idea.
First, his recognition of his identity as a Celestial Empire and his sense of belonging to the Celestial Empire did not allow him to leave the country and become independent.
Second, as a former Celestial Empire soldier, he could feel that the Dragon Qi of the Magic Kingdom's national destiny, although much stronger than before, was still not as good as the Celestial Empire's military spirit, let alone the Dragon Qi of the national destiny.
Moreover, seeing that the Celestial Empire was about to unify the world, only a fool would establish an independent country at this time.
That night, Liu Guangde and Roman summoned the information card of the Soldier King in his bedroom.
After he retired from the army, the position of the small flag officer was revoked.
However, the Soldier King of the seventh rank, as an honorary military rank, will follow him for life. Even if the county magistrate sees him, they are on the same level and need to treat him with courtesy.
Looking at the Soldier King in front of him, Liu Guangde's eyes are a little complicated.
This is his highest symbol of honor and the recognition of the Celestial Empire Army.
However, this is also the reason why his military career was cut off.
Sometimes he wondered why he was not injured now.
With the strength of the military doctors now, his initial injury might be completely healed.
It's a pity.
Shaking his head secretly, Liu Guangde raised his left hand.
On his wrist, there was an exquisite gray-green bracelet.
Then, Liu Guangde took the Soldier King Rank with his right hand and put it directly on the bracelet.
"Buzz~!"
The next moment, the bracelet shook slightly, and suddenly shot out a colorful beam of light through the Soldier King Rank card.
The beam of light changed, and soon the color disappeared, leaving only a three-dimensional screen in the air, on which there was a military number and a series of codes.
The seventh sentinel of the White Tiger Corps. Soldier King Liu Guangde.
No.: White Tiger 56327
"Huh~!"
Liu Guangde took a deep breath and dialed the number of his superior in the army.
"Hello~?"
"Captain."
"Hmm~?"
Sun Hongcai, who had just been promoted to the fourth-rank commander and was awarded the honorary rank of the fourth-rank Mingwei General, raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and then his heart moved. Could it be that some retired veteran contacted him?
"Report to the captain, this subordinate Liu Guangde."
"Liu Guangde"
Sun Hongcai's heart moved slightly, and the memory of more than ten years ago emerged in his mind.
This was his most promising subordinate, brave and hardworking, with the best military skills and qualities.
It was a pity that he ended up being discharged from the army in a war.
"Is it you, kid? You have made progress. You haven't contacted me for so many years."
"Hehe."
Liu Guangde didn't say anything, but just laughed, his eyes full of nostalgia, with a faint flash of tears.
He didn't contact, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare to contact, for fear of remembering the past.
They are still in the army, only he left lonely.
"What's the matter with you contacting me this time?"
"Yes!"
"Tell me! As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you."
"Captain, although I have left the army, I have never forgotten my identity as a soldier of the Celestial Empire, and I have never forgotten the mission of a soldier of the Celestial Empire."
"Stop, stop, stop, don't give me that, if you have something to say, just say it."
"Hehe, it means that I have conquered a large territory in the west for the Celestial Empire."
"Hmm~?"
Sun Hongcai suspected that he had heard it wrong. What do you mean you conquered a large territory in the west for the Celestial Empire?
"I didn't hear it clearly just now. Do you want to reorganize your words and say it again?"
"Captain, you didn't hear it wrong. I conquered a large territory in the west for the Celestial Empire.
You say, does this count as a contribution to expanding the territory?"
"Wait a minute, let me slow down."
Sun Hongcai was not surprised that Liu Guangde occupied a territory outside.
With the strength of the Celestial Empire's soldiers, they must be invincible strong men. Establishing a powerful force and occupying a piece of land is really nothing.
What surprised him was what Liu Guangde said, that he had conquered the territory for the Celestial Empire, and he still wanted to apply for the merit of opening up the territory.
There is no precedent for this.
If you say that you have established a power and choose to join the Celestial Empire, he can understand it.
However, Liu Guangde did not join the Celestial Empire as the leader of the power, but reported his merit of opening up the territory as a soldier of the Celestial Empire, which made him a little difficult.
There is no precedent for this.
Today, Liu Guangde, if you say he is a soldier, he has retired.
If you say he is not a soldier, he is indeed still in the military sequence, and he even has the honorary title of the King of Soldiers.
Finally, Sun Hongcai reported the news after understanding the specific situation. Let the headaches be on the top.
He reported along the way and finally arrived in front of Wang Dahu.
Wang Dahu couldn't help grinning when he saw the information in front of him.
This soldier is really worthy of being his own. He is really wild.
However, thinking of what Wang Chao had discussed with them at the beginning, he couldn't help but smile knowingly. Isn't the opportunity here?
This kid is lucky!
Originally, he was barely given a title of nobility. This first person to eat crabs, he must be promoted again. This pioneer merit, should be given a first-class title of nobility?
Then, he wrote a memorial and had it submitted to Wang Chao.
After Wang Chao received the memorial and read it, he called the cabinet, the staff members, the Minister of War, the Minister of Rites, and the Zongrenfu to discuss the matter.
The reason why it was so solemn was that Wang Chao wanted to take this opportunity to thoroughly implement similar things into specific policies.
At that time, when such a thing happens, there will be laws to follow and regulations to abide by, and it can be handled more conveniently and quickly.
After circulating the memorial, some people frowned in thought, while others smiled thoughtfully.
"Haha, this Liu Guangde is quite interesting."
After reading the memorial, Chief of Staff Wang Zhiyuan couldn't help but smile and speak.
"Hehe."
The rest of the people also smiled kindly when they heard it.
"Your Majesty, although Liu Guangde is now just a retired veteran, he still has the honorary title of King of Soldiers, and is considered half a soldier.
I think it can be considered as a meritorious service in expanding territory."
"Of course, looking at the area of his territory now, it is no smaller than a smaller province in the Celestial Empire.
Moreover, he is just a person, and without spending a single soldier or any food and supplies from the Celestial Empire, he will definitely become a marquis."
"Yes!"
Wang Chao nodded, and then said:
"I summoned you here this time mainly to discuss a fixed charter system for similar matters.
Liu Guangde can be made a marquis in this way.
What about others?"
"."
Everyone looked at each other and understood what Wang Chao meant.
Wang Chao wanted to use this incident to completely open the eyes and minds of the people of the Celestial Empire.
Expanding territory and making a marquis of a defeated general is not only for military soldiers, but also for ordinary people in the Celestial Empire. As long as they can do it, they can also be awarded the corresponding title.
Wang Chao wanted to thoroughly arouse the enterprising and pioneering spirit of the people of the Celestial Empire.
After that, everyone began to have a heated discussion around this topic.
It took three full days to determine a practical and feasible charter and system.
If there are any deficiencies, they can be improved and supplemented later.
Afterwards, Wang Chao personally wrote the imperial edict for Liu Guangde's enthronement.
This is the first case, and it is always special.
When everything was settled and the imperial edict was taken to the Magic Kingdom, five days had passed since Liu Guangde contacted Sun Hongcai.
During these five days, Liu Guangde, Roman and his wife, and Louis were all extremely worried and tormented, and they didn't know what the final result would be.
Is the Celestial Empire willing to accept them?
It can't be that the Celestial Empire must send troops to conquer them, right?
Finally, in the afternoon of that day, Liu Guangde received a notice from Sun Hongcai that the envoy of the imperial edict would arrive tomorrow.
And told him that there would be a big surprise waiting for him at that time.
Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Guangde, wearing the red military uniform that he had treasured for more than ten years, went out of the city with Roman and a group of princes and ministers of the Magic Kingdom to welcome the arrival of the envoy.
At about 1:00 pm, a shuttle surrounded by the Ming Emperor's national destiny suddenly appeared over the Magic Kingdom, and the national destiny of the Celestial Empire spread out densely.
"Ang~!"
Stimulated by the national destiny of the Celestial Empire, the national destiny of the Magic Kingdom was instantly agitated. A noble and domineering golden dragon of national destiny appeared in the sky above the capital of the Magic Kingdom and roared at the shuttle.
However, it did not attack the shuttle, but slowly lowered its head to show its submission.
After all, he evolved from the national destiny and other powers carried by Liu Guangde.
Facing the orthodox national destiny of the Celestial Empire, it was inferior in itself.
What's more, there was an imperial edict in the shuttle, and the dragon energy contained in it had an absolute suppression on it.
It can be said that the Magic Kingdom's National Fortune Golden Dragon is stronger, but when facing the Heavenly Kingdom's National Fortune Dragon Qi, it is inferior to the National Fortune Divine Beasts of other countries.
The suppression from the superior power within the system is stronger than the suppression from the hostile superior power.
At the moment the shuttle entered the territory of the Magic Kingdom, Liu Guangde and Roman felt something in their hearts and looked up to the east.
Through the perspective of the National Fortune Golden Dragon and the National Fortune Phoenix, they saw the shuttle entering the Magic Kingdom.
In addition to the two of them, after a while, Louis also felt something in his heart and noticed the existence of the rune shuttle.
Looking at the performance of the National Fortune Golden Dragon above, Louis couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This is just a messenger from the Heavenly Kingdom, but the National Fortune Golden Dragon surrendered directly.
The power gap is too big, and there is no point in resisting at all.
Sure enough, his decision was correct.
Soon, the shuttle appeared outside the royal city and slowly stopped in front of everyone.
People in red uniforms stepped down quickly and lined up in two teams in front of the shuttle hatch.
"."
After seeing the appearance of these people clearly, Liu Guangde couldn't help but tremble, and his lips stammered.
"Captain, General Flag, Wood, Decai."
The last one to come down was also wearing a red uniform, but he was wearing dozens of military medals and shoulder straps representing the first-rank special promotion Ronglu doctor.
"Is this the corps commander???"
When he saw the person coming, Liu Guangde was shocked again, and his body couldn't help but shake slightly, and he exclaimed in a low voice with some disbelief.
He was just a retired flag, and the highest honor was just a seventh-rank soldier king.
It was amazing that he now had some merits of offering land.
What virtue and ability did he have to trouble this person? (End of this chapter)
