Chapter 249: Monster Army

"I know."

Qin Jun's voice was somewhat cold, and Tai Bai Jin Xing no longer tried to persuade further, understanding that Qin Jun had not lost his rationality.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the main hall became somewhat heavy and oppressive.

Even the usually playful Hong Haier was unusually quiet, his eyes fixed on Qin Jun, waiting for his instructions.

Daji's face showed a look of concern, thinking that Qin Jun was feeling very distressed.

After a while, Qin Jun slowly raised his head and said, "How is the current situation of the war?"

Jia Xun felt relieved, fearing that Qin Jun would be ashamed and angry, holding onto this matter and causing chaos. He quickly replied, "The Black Dragon Kingdom has stopped the war, and the Wu Qi Kingdom, due to the intimidation of Yuan Ba, dare not attack again. Currently, the Qianyue Kingdom has temporarily restored peace, but there is some unrest within the country."

Although he was also very saddened by the unfortunate passing of the Qian Emperor, he was more looking forward to seeing the Qianyue Kingdom reach its peak under the leadership of Qin Jun.

"The Dragon Rising Legion will be led by General Guan in the future, and the soldiers under General Guan will be handed over to General Chen for training!"

Qin Jun suddenly announced, making everyone look at Guan Yu and Chen Qingzhi standing at the door.

Everyone knew Chen Qingzhi's abilities. The seven thousand white-clothed soldiers were a formidable force with invincible military spirit. As for Guan Yu, some people were skeptical. With only the realm of transformation, he would need the support of the Dragon Rising Legion.

"Why not let me do it?" Li Yuanba was the first to speak out.

Li Bai also seemed eager to try, but was held back by a glance from Tai Bai Jin Xing.

After all, Li Bai had never led an army, and was even a bit arrogant about his love for wine. Tai Bai Jin Xing did not want Li Bai to delay Qin Jun.

"Just you, do you know how to lead an army into battle?" Qin Jun stared at Li Yuanba, making him scratch his head in embarrassment.

Sha Wujing, Hong Haier, Daji, Xiao Li, and Xiong Tianquan were not concerned about the position of general, and Tai Bai Jin Xing preferred to be a civil official.

"Xiong Tianquan, I have a task for you." Qin Jun suddenly looked at Xiong Tianquan, and the others were puzzled. What task would require Xiong Tianquan to do it?

But they did not discriminate against Xiong Tianquan. After all, when Xiong Tianquan transformed into a celestial dog, he shocked the world, and was an extraordinary powerhouse.

"Your Highness, please tell me." Xiong Tianquan curiously raised his dog head.

"Subdue the second-tier or higher demon beasts within the Qianyue Kingdom, and then divide them into two armies: a land army of two hundred thousand, and an avian army of one hundred thousand! Remember, this is the minimum number!" Qin Jun stared at Xiong Tianquan with a piercing gaze.

At these words, Jia Xun and the others were taken aback.

Qin Jun actually wanted to form a demon beast army!

For other kingdoms, this might be a far-fetched idea, but for Qin Jun, it was not a big deal!

Among the demon beasts, a demon king could easily subdue countless low-level demon beasts, and demon beasts were not as complicated as humans. As long as they were stronger, they could be subdued.

Thinking about Xiong Tianquan leading a demon beast army in the future, who in the kingdom could stop them?

Even Guan Yu and Tai Bai Jin Xing could not help but feel a surge of excitement.

"Well..." Xiong Tianquan hesitated.

Qin Jun saw through its thoughts with a single glance and smiled, "Don't worry, the members of the demon beast army are also soldiers. In the future, I hope that demon beasts and our human race can coexist peacefully, at least within the kingdom I rule!"

Both Xiong Tianquan and Daji were of the demon race, so Qin Jun naturally would not treat the demon beasts as slaves, to avoid hurting their feelings.

At the same time, Qin Jun's soul came from the Earth's China, and after being influenced by countless novels and TV dramas, he did not have a negative view of the demon race.

Although the demon race was fierce, weren't humans the same?

"Alright, but Your Highness, do you have a time limit for this task?" Xiong Tianquan nodded and asked, feeling relieved. It had not chosen the wrong person.

Jia Xun and the others frowned. The enmity between the human and demon races had been passed down for a long time, and they were not confident that the demon beasts could peacefully coexist with the human race. However, they did not dare to refute Qin Jun.

Perhaps under Qin Jun's rule, a peaceful coexistence between the human and demon races could truly be achieved.

"After resting for a few days, you can set off tomorrow." Qin Jun was not in a hurry, and Xiong Tianquan had no objections to his arrangement.

As a demon king, raising a large army of demon beasts was definitely an easy task.

"Rest for a day, and tomorrow we will set off for the capital." Qin Jun said, pausing for a moment before speaking in a deep voice, "The kingdom cannot be without a ruler for a single day!"

Everyone's hearts trembled, and excitement and fervor appeared in their eyes.

Only by quickly ruling the Qianyue Kingdom could the kingdom become regularized, gradually become stronger, and eventually be able to compete with the formidable entity of the Abyss Gate!

"Your Highness... there are some voices of opposition within the capital, including several princes..." Jia Xun cautiously said.

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Qin Jun wave his hand.

Qin Jun stood up and said, "What's mine, no one can take away!"

Jia Xun's pupils contracted, and he smiled bitterly, bowing and saying no more.

...

The next day at noon, Qin Jun, dressed in white like a graceful young nobleman, walked out of the city lord's mansion surrounded by everyone.

Zhu Yanqing followed beside Qin Jun, and this guy kept using words to tease her, causing a hint of blush to appear on her usually aloof and beautiful face.

"Your Highness, should we fly directly to the capital, or follow the army?" Sha Wujing asked Qin Jun. Naturally, they had to bring the army to the capital, to maintain order. They couldn't just let Li Yuanba and the others handle everything, that would be using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

"Let's follow the army." Qin Jun smiled with deep meaning.

Jia Xun was puzzled, "Your Highness, following the army will probably take ten days to half a month..."

"Your Highness is giving some people time to jump out." Tai Bai Jin Xing waved his dusting cloth and laughed, causing Jia Xun to take a sharp breath.

After the death of the Qian Emperor, those who aspired to be the emperor would definitely become restless. If Qin Jun were to return immediately, it would be better, but he kept delaying, which would make many people unable to sit still. Once these people jump out...

Jia Xun felt a chill in his heart and looked at Qin Jun, who was smiling, with admiration in his eyes.

Such cunning at such a young age!

But this kind of Qin Jun made him appreciate even more. He was brave and resourceful, daring when necessary, and meticulous when it came to strategy.

Qin Jun and his men successively set out on their fate-bound vehicles, leading a hundred thousand troops forward. Guan Yu continued to guard the Yumen Pass, until Qin Jun ascended the throne and returned to the capital, while Chen Qing led the White Robe Army to follow.

The Black Dragon Kingdom was in chaos and would not attack the Qianyue Kingdom in the short term. Of course, if the Abyssal Sect did not intervene, the Black Dragon Kingdom probably would not dare to oppose the Qianyue Kingdom again, unless Qin Jun unexpectedly died.

Watching the departure of the army, the soldiers and cultivators in Yumen Pass just silently watched, because Qin Jun had already ordered the news to be blocked and had not spread the news of his departure to the capital.

"Master Jia, I feel that the name Qianyue Kingdom is not grand enough!"

Qin Jun sat lazily in his chair and said with a smile, leaving Jia Xun stunned for a moment, then asked cautiously, "But this is the national title designated by the founding emperor."

Could he be thinking of changing the national title?

Jia Xun frowned, but upon careful consideration, what was there that Qin Jun would not dare to do?
