Everyone was discussing.
Initially, everyone thought that the Crown Prince of Great Xia was impulsive and reckless, which led to the horrifying massacre incident, igniting another civil war that plunged Great Xia into turmoil!
Now, it seems like he wasnt reckless at all. He clearly had an ace up his sleeve, a plan well-thought-out. In just these few days, he managed to resolve all of Great Xias crises, proving himself worthy of being the chosen heir apparent. Handing over the fate of Great Xia to this person would undoubtedly not lead to its downfall and might even lead to a resurgence.
Lin Beifan naturally paid attention to the situation in Great Xia, and everything was beyond his expectations.
The Crown Prince of Great Xia had a hidden strength, which is why he dared to act so recklessly. However, there was something that surprised Lin Beifan; his hidden strength seemed substantial.
Rumors have it that the mysterious elder controlled by the Crown Prince of Great Xia is a Master! But in my opinion, that elder has probably reached the level of a Grandmaster! Lin Beifan muttered to himself.
From the information gathered by the court, that mysterious elder effortlessly killed a precelestial expert, indeed possessing the strength of a Master, which is why people labeled him as such.
However, Lin Beifan speculated based on the collected information, with an eighty percent certainty, that the other party was a Grandmaster, one of the strongest in the world. Because even for a Master, its not so easy to enter the midst of a million-strong army and kill precelestial experts.
The other party, on the other hand, achieved it effortlessly, so it was highly likely they were a Grandmaster. Although the Crown Prince of Great Xia had the assistance of a Grandmaster, Lin Beifan was not at all concerned.
You have a Grandmaster, I am a Grandmaster, whos afraid of whom? In a fight, were evenly matched at best. What can you do to me? Moreover, it wont be long before Im no longer a Grandmaster! I will become something above a Grandmaster the Supreme Grandmaster! Except for that woman who seems god-like and devilish, who else in the world can challenge me?
So, Lin Beifan remained unfazed, staying in the imperial palace in the capital, watching the changes in the world.
At this moment, within the borders of Great Xia, after the Crown Prince of Great Xia defeated the alliance of six nations, morale soared. He continued to lead a million-strong army, relentlessly pursuing and reclaiming lost territories.
The coalition of six nations had just suffered a major defeat, and the troops from these nations stationed in Great Xia were extremely frightened, retreating even before the battle began.
As a result, the territories that had been occupied were quickly reclaimed by the Crown Prince of Great Xia. The rulers of the six nations were heartbroken; the lands they had just acquired were taken away without a fight. Additionally, they suffered significant losses in terms of troops and once again offended Great Xia, which was a huge loss for them.
It was a situation akin to losing big. They regretted not studying martial arts instead of going to war.
At this moment, the Crown Prince of Great Xia continued to press his advantage, recovering territory until he reached the easternmost region, the White Tiger Mountains.
A million troops, banners waving, high morale, but they did not take the next step forward. A nearby general couldnt understand and respectfully asked, Your Highness, why not continue? Our soldiers are highly motivated now, and with this momentum, we can certainly break through the White Tiger Mountains and reclaim the eastern lands!
The Crown Prince of Great Xia shook his head, saying, I want to, but its not the right time.
Why, Your Highness?
Because the eastern lands have already fallen into the hands of Great Wu! The Crown Prince of Great Xia sighed helplessly. Great Wus dynasty is not inferior to our Great Xia; they have a powerful military force.
During our peak, we still couldnt overcome them. Now, Great Wu is flourishing, growing in strength day by day, while we have endured a century of rare ice disasters and endless internal strife. Our country is no longer what it used to be, and we cant compete with Great Wu. So, if we continue fighting, we will undoubtedly suffer heavy losses, even if we win.
The Crown Prince continued, But now, we still have many internal and external problems to solve. Our country remains unstable, and if we lose a large number of troops, it will only worsen our situation. So, we cant continue.
Your Highness is absolutely right, the general nodded.
Whats even more frightening is that if we provoke Lin Beifan because of this, we will incur immeasurable losses, the Crown Prince of Great Xias face turned grave. He is a terrifying individual; he excels in both warfare and statecraft. He is the most formidable opponent I have ever encountered, without a doubt. I have lost to him before. If we anger Lin Beifan and engage in another military campaign, the advantage we have worked so hard to gain may be lost in an instant.
The general nodded with a sense of dread. As a military commander, everyone knew who Lin Beifan was.
Because this person was truly terrifying!
Although he was a civilian by background, he excelled in warfare, especially in the past two years, where he had won seven or eight major battles with minimal casualties each time.
He was rightfully called the God of War! For military leaders, they both yearned to cross swords with Lin Beifan and feared going to war with him because the probability of losing was high.
Once defeated, the consequences
I, for one, dont want to suffer defeat a second time! If I lose this time, theres no coming back! The Crown Prince of Great Xia looked at the White Tiger Mountains and sighed, We will reclaim the eastern lands another time!
The general said with a loud voice, Your Highnesss words are wise, and I have learned my lesson.
The Crown Prince of Great Xia glanced at the White Tiger Mountains in the distance and turned away, unwilling.
Lets go back! In the future, when I return, I will definitely reclaim the eastern lands
The massive army turned back.
Upon returning to the capital of Great Xia, the Crown Prince took care of internal affairs, secured the troops, and prepared for his coronation as emperor. Every emperor liked to send invitations to various nations to witness this world-shaking event, this historic moment.
Naturally, Great Wu received the invitation, and Lin Beifan was explicitly invited to attend.
However, Lin Beifan refused.
He knew the Crown Princes intentions very well. The Crown Prince had been eyeing him for a long time, wanting to use him. If he couldnt be used, then destruction would be the only outcome. If he went, he might not come back.
So, Lin Beifan designated a minister to represent Great Wu at the event. He continued to handle state affairs while preparing for his wedding with the Empress.
At this time, the Great Yan Dynasty was once again refining the elixir of immortality. They had spent ten million taels to purchase some dragon bones from him. When this money was deposited into his account, Lin Beifan was shocked to find out that it was time for him to level up!
