After the war with the Northern Yan ended, Lin Yun was unanimously recognized by the people of the Southern Summer and all the civil and military officials. He tied the knot with Nangong Yan and ascended the throne under the crowd's support, becoming the new Southern Summer King.
This included Lin Yun, who began to prepare for the reconstruction of the Southern Summer's defense project after he took office. He gathered a large amount of manpower and resources from the whole country to build a defensive fortress.
The people of the whole country supported him, and the army and the people were united.
After this war, the Southern Summer's military and martial arts experts suffered heavy losses. The Southern Summer King and Nangong died for the country, the Internal Affairs Ruler, and the External Ruler. These top experts all died for the country.
The Country Guarding King, who was lucky enough to survive, lost an arm, and his combat power was greatly reduced.
Therefore, other than the reconstruction of the defense project, the positions in the court of the whole country had to be redistributed.
The Country Guarding King still held the position of Country Guarding King and the position of Southern Summer's State Marshal, commanding the three armies of the Southern Summer.
The position of the Internal Affairs Ruler was held by the Grand Scholar Murong Tuohai. He was in charge of everything in the court and assisted Lin Yun in governing the Southern Summer.
Now, all the families of the Southern Summer King Country were united, and they were extremely obedient to Lin Yun. Therefore, when Lin Yun promoted Murong Tuohai to be the Internal Affairs Ruler, the three great families and the civil and military officials had no meaning to it.
Before the External Ruler died, he had already passed on the position of the Hua Family's Patriarch to Hana Mio. Therefore, Hana Mio naturally took over the position of the External Ruler.
Originally, four of the ten Country Guarding Generals were sacrificed at the frontline. Fortunately, the remaining four were still alive. They were: Nangong Ying Zheng, Shangguan Bai Qi, Hua Mulan, and Su Lie.
The four of them were Level Two King Wu. Although they couldn't compare to the Three Rulers and the Southern Summer King, they were still the top combat power of the Southern Summer Country.
Since the four of them had survived, it could be said that a portion of Southern Summer's top forces had been preserved.
In order to fill the vacancies in the ten national armies, Lin Yun selected a few experts from the three major clans to take up posts.
There were two elders from the Nangong Clan, one elder from the Shangguan Clan, and one elder from the Hua Clan. The four elders were all at the first level of King Wu.
As for the last two positions, Lin Yun assigned them to the young people, Prince Namgong and Shangguan Xiayan respectively.
Although the two of them were not as strong as King Wu, their growth speed was fast and they had a lot of room for growth. They were very worthy of being promoted.
None of the civil and military officials had any objections to Lin Yun's arrangement.
Apart from the Three Kings and the Ten Armies of the Kingdom, the generals of all ranks in the army and the officials of all ranks in the imperial court had to be reassigned by Lin Yun.
Fortunately, Lin Yun was an Emperor in his previous life and was in charge of tens of millions of soldiers, so he was very good at this kind of thing.
After the reassignment of the positions in the imperial court, Lin Yun began to think of ways to increase the Southern Summer's forces.
What the Southern Summer was facing now was no longer a mere Northern Yan Kingdom, but the Assassination Guild that dominated the entire Thousand Kingdoms Territory!
Lin Yun could not continue to use his main Martial Soul and the power of the second stage of the Demon God Core Crystal. So if he had to rely on his own strength, he wouldn't be able to deal with the entire Assassins Association. So Lin Yun had to think of a way to increase the Southern Summer Country's strength and raise the geniuses of the Southern Summer Country.
First, Lin Yun collected the few treasures of the Southern Summer of the highest grade, then melted them down and cast them into a Darksteel Arm. Then, he attached it to the Country Guarding Lord.
The strength of this Darksteel Arm was at the level of a high-grade treasure. Other than Lin Yun who used the power of the Demon God Core Crystal, no one could destroy it.
Not only was this arm powerful, but it was also very flexible. The Country Guarding Lord could control it as he pleased, and it was as good as his own arm.
Moreover, this arm could not only be used to hold weapons, but it also had a set of Essence Qi storage and launch system. It could directly shoot out Essence Qi Cannons from the palm of the hand to carry out a destructive attack on the enemy.
The power of the Essence Qi Cannons was proportional to the Essence Qi of the martial artist. The lower the martial artist's realm, the lower the power of the Essence Qi Cannons. On the contrary, the higher the realm, the stronger the power of the Essence Qi Cannons.
In the hands of a Martial Warrior Realm martial artist, this arm might not be able to display much power. But in the hands of the Country Guarding Lord, who was in the Level 6 King Wu Realm, it could launch an attack comparable to the Level 7 King Wu Realm.
After installing this Darksteel Arm, the strength of the Country Guarding Lord had a breakthrough, and he could fight with the Level 7 King Wu Realm.
If the Country Guarding Lord were to fight with the previous Marshal of the Warring States Kingdom, the Country Guarding Lord might not lose.
After installing this Darksteel Arm, the Country Guarding Lord became even more loyal to Lin Yun. He completely regarded Lin Yun as a real King.
In addition to transforming the Country Guarding Lord, Lin Yun also helped many experts of the Southern Summer to improve their strength. For example, he refined elixirs for them, engraved talismans, and so on.
And the young geniuses of the Southern Summer received Lin Yun's attention and training.
The former three monstrous geniuses and six geniuses of the Royal City became Lin Yun's disciples, and Lin Yun personally taught them swordsmanship.
Of course, what he taught was definitely not the "Armageddon God Sword Technique", but an ordinary Heaven Stage Sword Technique. But to them, this was already a top-grade sword technique that they couldn't find even if they searched the entire continent.
In addition to the geniuses of the Royal City, there were also Yuzhou's Yun Ruoxi and Zhang Wei. They were also summoned to the Royal City by Lin Yun to learn swordsmanship together with the geniuses of the Royal City.
Yun Ruoxi was actually a genius with a lot of potential. If her Martial Spirit's ability could be completely controlled, it would be a very troublesome ability to deal with. With this ability, it wouldn't be a problem to defeat enemies who were a few levels above them.
It was because he saw Yun Ruoxi's potential that Lin Yun wanted to train her.
Although Zhang Wei didn't have Yun Ruoxi's potential, he was the most loyal and devoted to Lin Yun, so Lin Yun also wanted to train him. Moreover, Lin Yun had promised him that he would train him to become the strongest expert in the continent.
In addition to training Yun Ruoxi and Zhang Wei, Lin Yun also gave them official positions.
Yun Ruoxi received the position of Scholar and assisted Murong Tuohai in his academic research.
Zhang Wei was appointed as the commander of the Royal Guards and followed Lin Yun at all times to help Lin Yun handle matters.
Time passed, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.
After a month of training, the young geniuses of the Southern Summer Academy had a huge improvement in their abilities.
This was especially so for Prince Namgong. After he mastered Lin Yun's swordsmanship, his abilities could be said to have risen to a new level. He had no problem fighting enemies who were half a step away from the King Wu Realm alone.
And in this month, Lin Yun's cultivation had also been completely consolidated.
Now, Lin Yun could completely defeat King Wu Realm powerhouses without using the Demon God Core Crystal or the Demon Slayer Sword.
