I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory

Chapter 333.1



“Your Majesty, do you even need to ask?”

One of the generals said excitedly: “This repeating crossbow cart is truly a national treasure! Whoever possesses this divine artifact will be unmatched, whether in expanding territories or defending the An Kingdom! Your Majesty, please bestow upon me 50 of these carts, and I will surely be able to conquer a vast expanse of land for you!”

“Your Majesty, this item is a defensive weapon par excellence! Just give me 100 of these repeating crossbow carts, and I will surely be able to hold the northwestern border! Even if a million-strong army comes, they wouldn’t be able to shake our Great Xia’s foundations by even a hair’s breadth!” Another general shouted loudly.

“Your Majesty, this divine object should first be deployed in the capital city…”

Each general spoke up, clamoring for the repeating crossbow carts.

They weren’t asking for just 50. Some were even greedily shouting for 300!

Facing the generals who were eager for more, Lin Beifan laughed and scolded: “Generals, you are far too greedy! The production of these repeating crossbow carts is limited. So far, we only have 10! According to the master craftsmen, even with their full effort, the monthly production is no more than 10 units, barely over a hundred a year!”

“Although, after improvements, the production will greatly increase, the annual output will still be just a few hundred units, definitely not enough to meet all your demands! So, let’s distribute them according to priority and urgency.”

Everyone felt a bit disappointed.

But then again, they thought, how could a military weapon like this be so easy to produce?

If it were that easy, the nations supported by the Mohists before would have unified the world long ago.

They continued to witness the power of other Mohist mechanisms, all yielding very satisfactory results.

They thought to themselves that the trip had not been in vain.

Only the Mohists were somewhat puzzled.

They had crafted these mechanisms before, so why were the ones they were making now so much more powerful, leaving everyone shocked and in awe?

Could it be that their own skills had improved?

In the end, of course, there was no answer.

……

After returning from the testing ground, Lin Beifan once again urged the Mohists to fully commit to producing the mechanisms, striving to produce a batch of repeating crossbow carts and rotary cannons before the autumn harvest to equip the entire army.

Great Xia remained peaceful as usual, but chaos began to emerge in the outside world.

Previously, a demon incident had occurred, and many nations’ Grandmasters and Innate masters were wiped out by the leader of the Green Garment Tower, causing a severe regression in national power and military challenges. Coupled with food issues, which Lin Beifan had exploited, the nations became even more unstable.

Friction between countries intensified, and some had already erupted into war.

The Great Li Empire was in such a situation.

Originally, they were a longstanding empire with three Grandmasters at the helm, over 50 Innates, and an army of more than 7 million, making their national power very strong.

Among the empires of the world, they ranked near the top.

But everything changed after that demon came.

Two of the three Grandmasters were devoured by him.

Only one was left, who had escaped disaster because he was not in the empire at the time.

Of the more than 50 Innate experts, less than 30 remained after being devoured.

The entire capital city was destroyed, with countless deaths and injuries, leading to a severe decline in the nation’s history.

Thus, they became the target of covetous neighboring countries.

“Currently, two great empires, one dynasty, and four neighboring countries have launched their troops against our Great Li! They have a total of three Grandmasters, over a hundred Innates, and 5 million elite soldiers. Our Great Li is in grave danger! I beseech the Grand-master to lend a hand. The survival of our Great Li depends on your decision,” pleaded the Ninth Prince of Great Li, Li Tianqiong, as he came to seek Lin Beifan’s help.

Lin Beifan nodded: “The situation is indeed dire! Unless something unexpected happens, Great Li is doomed!”

“Exactly,” said the Ninth Prince with a bitter expression.

He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had witnessed the glory and prosperity of the Great Li Empire.

He thought this glorious scene would continue indefinitely and be passed down through generations.

But who would have thought that a demon would come and destroy this wonderful situation?

If we can’t get through this difficult time, the nation will be finished, and their royal family will be finished too.

Therefore, he had no choice but to seek help from Lin Beifan.

“Master, after all, Tianqiong is our junior and has always been respectful and filial. If we still have the strength to spare, let’s lend a hand!” Peerless Spear Immortal spoke up to put in a good word for his disciple.

The Ninth Prince nodded repeatedly, his heart filled with gratitude towards Peerless Spear Immortal.

“Your Majesty, we can help! That Great Li Emperor has some relationship with this old man, he’s a decent person! If we help him through this crisis, he will surely not treat us unfairly!” Han Daosheng also spoke up in support.

“Thank you, Uncle Han!” The Ninth Prince bowed deeply in thanks.

Lin Beifan nodded his head.

Although he had no particular connection with the Great Li Empire, the Ninth Prince was his disciple’s disciple.

You have to look at the owner when beating a dog, let alone someone who bullies his people.

So, if he was able to, it was possible to help.

“Tianqiong, stand up! I have agreed to your request,” Lin Beifan said.

The Ninth Prince was overjoyed: “Thank you, Grand-master!”
