Most of the Great Cities had come from the six countries, and almost all of the Cities had come from them as well. When Zhao Fu ordered the six countries to attack China, the Chinese side had continuously fallen back, and they had almost made it to the central area of China.

If it wasn"t for the strategists predicting that they would not be able to hold the eastern side of China, setting up defensive lines outside the central area, it was possible that Great Qin would have conquered the central area as well and even made it to the western side.

The end result was quite ironic: The other Chinese factions had tried to destroy Great Qin, which was a part of China, and now Great Qin was using other countries to harm the rest of China.

However, the Chinese factions had worked together with foreign factions while Great Qin had conquered them.

With the Chinese side continuously falling back, many factions hurriedly relocated their Cities. As such, Great Qin"s gains in the eastern side of China were quite little. However, they were still able to conquer 3,100 regions.

In total, they had obtained 6,500 Great Cities, 1,500 Cities, 3.5 billion people, and 500 million Stage 1 soldiers.

Now,Great Qin"s overall population was 8.5 billion people, and it had 900 million soldiers. Of these soldiers, 820 million were Stage 1 soldiers, ten million were Stage 2 soldiers, 1.8 million were Stage 3 soldiers, and 60,000 were Stage 4 soldiers.

They now controlled 6,820 regions, one Marquisate City, three Barony Cities, six Capital Cities, 15,070 Great Cities, and 4,421 Cities.

Great Qin"s strength once again ma.s.sively rose, and now they once again had to properly incorporate these people and regions. They would not be able to attack other factions for a while, as they had brought in simply too many people this time – almost one-third of what Great Qin already had. If they staged a rebellion, it would be quite difficult to deal with.

There was also the issue of the regions. Great Qin already had 1,000 regions to clear, and now there were another 3,000 regions to clear out. This was no simple matter, and with the construction of the Great Wall, it would take at least a year to complete all of these things.

In order to stabilize the people, Zhao Fu first gave out rewards; all those who had contributed were rewarded, regardless of if they were players or indigenous residents.

The six countries had performed quite well this time, and this was especially so for the j.a.panese people. They fought incredibly vigorously while also shouting Great Qin"s praises, which Zhao Fu found quite strange.

The people from the six countries now belonged to Great Qin, and Zhao Fu made them ordinary residents, making them feel quite relieved.

In order to celebrate this victory, Great Qin set up a ma.s.sive banquet to reward those who had partic.i.p.ated. In contrast, the factions at the central area of China had incredibly dark looks on their faces, looking at the people around them in suspicion. After what had happened with j.a.pan, everyone found it hard to trust each other.

If someone did the same thing as j.a.pan and Great Qin attacked, they would completely fall apart. Great Qin now occupied the northern side while also having control of the eastern side. Almost half of the Midland Continent now belonged to Great Qin, making it much harder to resist them.

As such, these factions could only discuss how to prevent something like this from happening again, and the strategists once again started to think of plans.

As for the leaders of the Chinese invasion from before, Great Qin had already executed those people, and their families" factions had all been destroyed. Their family members could only struggle to even live.

There were now 20 or so women kneeling in front of Zhao Fu who came from those families. Two of them were quite exceptional: one of them was Bak Seolhyun, the person who had led the South Korean army and said that Chinese people had stolen Korean culture.

Now she, her mother, and her little sister were like pitiful little beasts, kneeling on the ground. There was another person who seemed much more dignified and composed. This woman was a j.a.panese woman and was dressed in a red kimono. Her long black hair fell to her shoulders, and she held a saber as she knelt on the ground.

She was Oda Kamiya"s older sister, Oda Mina. As the descendant of Oda n.o.bunaga, Oda Kamiya had been quite famous during the earlier times. However, he had been surpa.s.sed by others, such as Masanori Hano and the last Emperor.

As the person who had led j.a.pan to invade China, Zhao Fu showed no mercy to him. Oda Kamiya did not intend to submit to Great Qin either; after Great Qin broke into his city, Oda Kamiya committed seppuku using the demon blade Muramasa.

The saber that Oda Mina now held was Muramasa. Even though it was in its sheath, it gave off a sense of evilness.

Zhao Fu grabbed with his hand, and the Muramasa flew into his hand. Zhao Fu drew the saber, and a ma.s.sive wave of evil spread out. The blade gave off an incredibly cold light, making people"s hairs stand on end. The saber was now a Saint Armament; it had most likely killed many people.

Zhao Fu was not very interested in this saber. However, Zhao Sha seemed to be very interested in it, so Zhao Fu gave it to him as a reward.

Zhao Sha had immense potential, and Zhao Fu wanted to take all opportunities to nurture him. Before, when Zhao Sha had obtained the a.s.sa.s.sin Legacy, he had used a dagger because it was more suited to a.s.sa.s.sinations. Now that he had Muramasa, he could fight directly against others.

After taking care of everything, Zhao Fu went over to Oda Mina. He was somewhat interested in her, and he wrapped his arms around her, causing her face to go red. She knew what was about to happen, but for the Oda family, she had to properly serve this man.

Oda Mina lightly hugged Zhao Fu back, gently resting her head against his chest. Zhao Fu hugged her and took some other women into the Refining Pavilion.

After a wave of indescribable sounds, Oda Mina helped Zhao Fu put on his clothes again, and Zhao Fu walked out, marvelling at how good the j.a.panese women had been.

At the same time, Zhao Fu took the four Nation Armaments and prepared to refine three of them into Great Qin"s Nation Armaments. As for j.a.pan"s Nation Armament, Zhao Fu had asked the golden dragon about them, and the golden dragon had said that the three items were quite special. They were like normal weapons but were also like Nation Armaments and Clan Armaments.

If Zhao Fu refined it like a normal Nation Armament, he would not be able to utilize them to their full potential and would ruin their value.

The golden suggested Zhao Fu to turn the three items into true killing weapons. They would not be used by Zhao Fu but by the Primogenitor Statue. After all, the three items had similar attributes to the Primogenitor Statue.

The method was to put the three items into the Primogenitor Statue and fuse them together, being baptised by Great Qin"s bloodline together.
