Chapter 378

"... Abstract."

Watching the battle report sent from the Great Shun, Lin Liu almost couldn't hold back:

First, they "accidentally" seized the armaments, then "accidentally" seized the granary, and then they "accidentally" trained an elite force; various "accidentally" soundly defeated the nearly undefeated new army of the Shun dynasty...

This rebel army is overly exaggerated, full of surprises, and moreover, under the combined effect of these surprises, it keeps growing stronger.

As for why it is so strong?

That is naturally a heaven-sent mighty person.

In fact, the core of this rebel army is entirely the people arranged by Li Ziliang, and even he himself is in the army!

Shun Taizu personally led people to start a business and seize the world, creating the anti-Shun...... How could it not be strong?! However, although it indeed looks very abstract, Lin Liu is still moved, because Old Li's reason for doing this is to realize his ideal.

Since that sincere heart-to-heart talk before, Old Li has firmly made up his mind:

He will fully cooperate with Lin Liu's strategic plan! The past suspicions and defenses have been cast aside; the enlightened Old Li now truly wishes to shine again.

This time, he is no longer shining for his own family and surname, but for thousands of households; this old sun that has long set will use his last lingering warmth to do something beneficial...

"With your light, things become much easier......"

Lin Liu felt a myriad of emotions.

Sighing, he then solemnly issued several orders:

First, outwardly deny any relation with "Lord=6", calling it "Lord Bandit" and "Six Traitor"! Second, increase material aid to the Shun, encouraging the Great Shun to exterminate the "Lord Bandit", and also clear his own name! In short, his absolute black hand definitely did not reach into the Nanbu Continent.

As for whether everyone believes it or not...... Anyway, it's none of my business! (You have all kinds of proof that the newly risen "Lord=6" has nothing to do with you, not even a penny; the "bandit-extermination aid" has been sent batch after batch, your attitude is extremely clear!)

(But as the fighting went on, these aids mysteriously ended up in the hands of the rebel army......)

(He could be called the captain of the transport corps!)

(Of course, this is all a double act put on by you and Old Li; the reason for going around in such a big circle with the aid is to avoid interference from the gods of the Southern Continent.)

(You, this "Western Barbarian Chieftain", must not be caught with a handle by them!)

(And as the Shun army suffered repeated defeats, this rebel army also rapidly grew in strength; its imposing presence caused all who passed by to surrender at the mere sight.)

(In just a few years, this little rebel army seized half of the southern territory of the Great Shun, and was formally established, taking the "Six" from Lin Liu and calling itself the "Six Dynasties"!)

(Six Dynasties? Half of the southern territory? And they even worship the true god of the West?)

(Tailor! What have you sewn?!)

(......)

(The southern half of the territory has been lost; the fall of the Great Shun has officially entered the countdown, and the trend of dynastic change has gradually become clear!)

(At this juncture, as the Western Barbarian Chieftain, you cannot help but speak out in anger: 'The Great Shun is truly mud that cannot be helped onto the wall!' )

(Then you openly went to the gods of the Southern Continent and angrily declared: 'The Southern "Six Traitors" deceive the world and steal fame, fool the people, and falsely bear the banner of my Western Continent...... This is intolerable!' )

('I must send troops to intervene! Give me a permit, tell me if it's possible or not!')

(Faced with your angry remarks, the gods exchanged glances; they never thought the Shun would sink to this state, and now this gang of "Lord=6" is powerful and hard to control, with a strong tendency to destroy the Shun; if no action is taken, it might really affect the gods' interests in the Southern Continent......)

('Good!')

(After some discussion, the gods approved your expedition plan, and you couldn't help but smile: 'Watch me this time also send two fierce waves to the south......')

('However, we also need to send people.')

(You stared dumbfounded, while they solemnly said: 'The Southern Six Rebels' uprising not only has a tendency to destroy the Shun, but also poses a threat to us...... Such rebels, of course, must be punished by everyone!')

(This......)

(Your heart skipped a beat: What these people say is actually not problematic; after the Southern 'Six Dynasties' destroy the Shun, they will indeed, according to your and Old Li's plan, carry out a purge against them, so they also want to intervene in this matter, which is actually reasonable.)

(But the problem is, if you form an allied army with them, if you send things too obviously, wouldn't you be caught red-handed?!)

(This left you quite indecisive.)

(But after thinking it over, you still ended up agreeing with them, and signed a contract with the gods......)

('So, you're not sending it?')

In the secret room, Li Ziliang glared with his eyes: 'I'm only doing this because of your words! If you dare......'

Lin Liu in the wheelchair shook his head: 'Sending it is naturally necessary, but we can't send it exactly as before......'

'From now on, in all battles, I cannot send things too obviously; on the contrary, I must even bring out some real skill...... You must defeat all of us and then unify the Nanbu Continent!'

Li Ziliang's face clearly showed a look of difficulty......

Well, now we truly have to make enemies of the whole world! He gritted his teeth: 'Will we win?'

Lin Liu nodded: 'We will win!'

'Then I'll give it my all!'

This former Shun Taizu has decided to go all out! (Having received your guarantee of victory, Li Ziliang immediately began preparations for war......)

(In the 66th year of the New Heavenly Court, the 215th year of the Great Shun, the Western Barbarian Chieftain Lin clan flew into a rage because the 'Six Dynasties' had stolen its name and reputation, and decided to exterminate the 'Six Dynasties'!)

(That year, the various restoration rebel armies also took 'Support the Shun, Destroy the Six' as their banner, and launched a crackdown on the just‑risen 'Six Dynasties'!)

(That year, the repeatedly defeated new army of the Great Shun also, filled with anger, mustered its strength and, after strengthening its forces, launched a major offensive against the southern 'Six Traitors'!)

(The Shun army and various 'foreign intervention forces' all reached out with a black hand toward the nascent Six Dynasties regime......) (Under the joint crackdown of internal and external 'anti‑Six forces', the mighty Six Dynasties uprising faced its greatest challenge; once defeated, it would suffer utter ruin!)

(The rebel army leader showed no fear whatsoever, bravely going out to meet the enemy!)

(First are the Shun's new army and the mobilized local militia; the Six Forces face them without fear, unleashing volleys of guns and cannons, always able to easily defeat and win them over!)

(This is no doubt, because the Shun's internal spy is none other than Li Ziliang, the commander of the Six Forces after assuming an alias—beating his own left hand with his right, he could lose only if he saw a ghost......)

(But the ensuing 'foreign intervention forces' were not so easy to deal with.)

(The Western Continent, in anger, dispatched a 'rifle squad', bringing its finest troops and weapons to launch an attack on the Six Forces!)

(Facing these Western Continent troops who likewise worship the 'savior Lin Liu', the Six Forces on one hand call them 'fellow believers', and on the other hand show no mercy, unleashing a barrage of foreign rifles and cannons.)

(The Western Continent troops, meanwhile, complained while also unleashing a barrage of rifles and cannons.)

The battle between the two sides was extremely high in standard, the troops were of high quality, the weapons and equipment were good, and the bean steaming was even more remarkably splendid……

Seeing that you both showed no restraint, the previously doubtful 'multinational force' finally let down its guard and also joined the battlefield en masse!

The joint strangulation by internal and external forces has already begun……

And Old Li is indeed no less than the iron-boned, tough man who fought his way through wind and rain back then!

Facing the foreign intervention army, this fateful lord of carnage, the Venus Star Lord, remained calm and composed, repeatedly crushing the enemy's offensives and organizing a full-scale war.

His strategic goal is very clear: to win!

But it's not enough to just win on the battlefield; he also wants to win in economic construction, after all his goal is to let the people of South Land live good lives.

Therefore, this battle is not only the dynastic change war where the Six Dynasties replace the Smooth Dynasty, but also a revolutionary war in which the people of South Land completely transform their own fate!

Thus, under the command of Li Ziliang, the territory occupied by the Six Armies quickly developed relying on the spoils seized from the battlefield.

The Shun-supporting side not only sent population and territory, but also sent a large number of new industrial lines; these new industries, which previously could not be rolled out due to various internal and external reasons, faced no taboos in the hands of the Six Dynasties—once an order was given, it was done immediately!

Even the former Smooth Dynasty officials and landlords were toppled by this wave; in the turmoil of dynastic change, corruption and darkness were swept away completely!

Thus, a vibrant scene of burgeoning life and myriad things competing to flourish arose spontaneously on the land of the Six Dynasties……

Besides the Shun-supporting side, the West Land Army also sent a lot; what they sent was mainly the West Land's latest weapons and equipment, but although they were sent, they could not be given away recklessly on the surface—those weapons and equipment were legitimate 'captures', enough to leave the gods speechless.

Since the weapons were sent, the people were naturally captured as well; these prisoners 'forced' to become trainers for the Six Armies not only taught them how to march and fight more efficiently, but also taught them how to unleash greater power from the new weapons.

Under these prisoners' 'forced to become bandits', the Six Armies became even stronger!

In this way, the other 'foreign intervention armies' are naturally in a hopeless situation, after all even the combined forces of the Shun-supporting side's new army cannot beat them, let alone the Six Dynasties' heavenly soldiers equipped with West Land gear.

One defeat, then another, then another……

Not long after, this joint internal-external strangulation operation collapsed in a spectacular failure under the Six Armies' powerful offensive.

The Six Dynasties decisively defeated the Smooth Dynasty's great army and all foreign intervention forces!

……

I won't take the blame!

Lin Liu angrily slid his wheelchair and shouted before the gods: 'Is there something wrong with this round that you guys played?!'

The gods were helpless:

Yes……

However, we've lost all our resources; even our newly trained army can't beat the Six Bandits' troops, and if we keep fighting we'll have to go out ourselves…… Now only you still have people.

Exactly, exactly! If you could send a million West Land great army, our puny Six Armies wouldn't even be worth mentioning!

Lin Liu listened and rolled his eyes:

You're taking me for a sucker? No way!

I originally came just for fame to oppose them, but now that they have unified South Land it's a done deal, so I can only acknowledge them……

Don't expect me to fight to the death for you against the Six Armies—I'm not your puppet!

Having said that, the irritable Lin Liu wheeled his chair slowly westward……

Only the gods remained, looking at each other helplessly:

What should we do? He won't fight, and we can't beat him either……

Mortal wars are not something we should intervene in.

How about…… surrender?

As soon as that was said, the gods fell silent.

This failed joint strangulation proves that no one in South Land can any longer stop this so-called Six Dynasties; the Six Dynasties' unification of South Land has become an inevitable trend……

Surrender.

Someone slammed the table and said in a deep voice: 'But we need to set good terms.'

South Land shall forever belong only to the people of South Land! The Six Dynasties must abandon that ridiculous slogan equating the lord with six……

This is the final bottom line!
