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

Chapter 9

In the Empire Sandbox, numerous resources had appeared.

There were fertile fields and rich soil, coal mines, limestone mines, silver mines, salt mines

These resources originally belonged to the Mo Kingdom, mostly buried underground and unknown to others. However, once they were incorporated into the territory of the Xia Kingdom, they would clearly appear in Lin Beifans Empire Sandbox.

Once they appeared in the Empire Sandbox, he could utilize the sandboxs abilities to transport them away.

His eagerness to expand his territory was precisely for these resources.

With resources, how can a nation not be strong?

Such a huge coal mine, move it!

Limestone mine, thats good stuff too, move it!

Salt mine, move it!

Fertile land and rich soil, I want that as well, move it!

F*ck! Theres actually such a big gold mine worth tens of millions, what a bargain for me! Move it!

Its all mine, move it all out, hehe!

Lin Beifan tirelessly transported the resources, moving them all into the territory of Xia Kingdom.

Meanwhile, An Lushan led his great army, continuing their triumphant advance.

After three days, they finally captured 15 cities of Mo Kingdom, pushing the border of Xia Kingdom northward by two hundred li. (TLN: 1 li = 0.5 km)

The panel of Empire Sandbox also underwent a huge change.

Empire Sandbox (Beginner Level)

Territorial Area: 360,000 square miles (Arable land 110,000 square miles)

Domestic Resources: 51.5 million taels (1 iron mine, 2 coal mines, 1 copper mine)

Population: 3.22 million (Wealthy people 1%, Common people 18%, Poor people 71%)

Military Strength: 300,000 (2 Innate experts, 200 martial artists)

Comprehensive National Power: 445 (small kingdom level)

Firstly, regarding the Territorial Area, it has expanded by 40,000 square miles, and the Arable land has increased by 30,000 square miles, which means that the Xia Kingdom can now sustain a larger population.

Domestic Resources have increased by more than 20 million taels, nearly doubling.

There hasnt been much change in Population and Military Strength, but the comprehensive national power has increased by 100, a rise of nearly 30%!

In just these few days, his national power has increased by 30%!

Lin Beifan felt like he had struck it rich!

Ding! As the players national power has grown, your strength has increased synchronously! Awarded with the top-level martial art technique, Three Parts Return to Origin Energy!

Three Parts Return to Origin Energy is composed of Wind God Leg, Cloud-Dispelling Palm, and Frost Fist. When these three are combined into the Three Parts Return to Origin Energy, its use will surely possess a might that can shock the heavens and move the spirits!

In an instant, the secrets of this martial art technique merged into Lin Beifans mind.

Lin Beifan became self-taught and mastered the unique skill.

Lin Beifan was overjoyed, This is fantastic! With the Three Parts Return to Origin Energy, I can truly consider myself a genuine Innate master! And with this unique skill by my side, I am invincible at the same level! Haha!

Lin Beifan was very satisfied with his gains.

Its about time to wrap things up now!

Lin Beifan issued an imperial decree and sent it posthaste to An Lushan, who was campaigning abroad.

An Lushan, having just received Lin Beifans imperial decree, was over the moon, thinking that Lin Beifan had sent the decree to praise him, hoping he would redouble his efforts, continue to conquer cities and territories, and expand the empires borders.

After reading the imperial decree, I was left disheveled in the wind!

His Majesty actually wants him to withdraw the troops?

And to retreat back to the original national borders, returning the newly seized territories to the Mo Kingdom?

An Lushan was completely numb, his scalp tingling from Lin Beifans maneuver!

All this fighting, was it just for loneliness?

Seeing the numb An Lushan, the other generals grew anxious.

General, what did His Majesty say?

Please say something!

What exactly does the imperial decree say?

I dont know how to put it, you all have a look for yourselves! An Lushan sighed and handed the imperial decree to everyone.

After the generals and soldiers read it, they all exploded in uproar.

What, His Majesty is ordering us to retreat?

Hes asking us to return the territory weve conquered back to the Mo Kingdom?

How can we give back the territory weve fought so hard to win?

Is this imperial decree a fake?

An Lushan sighed deeply, feeling utterly powerless as he said, This is a directive personally issued by His Majesty, and it has been verified by the military supervisor. How could it be fake? His Majesty truly wants us to withdraw our troops and stop the fighting!

General, are we really going to withdraw?

Can you bear to do so?

General, what should we do?

The generals and soldiers began to speak out.

To hand over the newly conquered lands was something they could not bring themselves to do!

What else can we do? The imperial edict cannot be defied

An Lushans tone was filled with reluctance and helplessness: We must retreat!

Generals and soldiers, heed my command, retreat! The new military order spread throughout the entire army.

Then, An Lushan led the great army, swiftly retreating back to the original border line of the Xia Kingdom, returning the 15 cities and 40,000 square miles of territory they had just conquered to the Mo Kingdom.

The Mo Kingdom, which had already assembled a large army ready for battle, was dumbfounded!

We were all prepared for a battle to the end, a fight where both sides would be destroyed and fight to the death yet you retreated?

And even returned the territory, what does this mean?

We are currently recruiting. CN/KR/JP Translators/MTLers are welcome!
