Now, Qin's population was 45 million, and it had eight million soldiers. Five million of them were at Stage 1, 100,000 were at Stage 2, and 5,000 were at Stage 3. This was Qin's current strength.
With this strength, it would be no problem for Qin to resist the three major factions. This was the result of Qin's people working together.
Qin now controlled 13 regions, and it was many times more powerful than other Dynasties. However, Zhao Fu felt that it was not enough, as it was still too weak in front of others. Qin had to become even more powerful.
Over the past two months, Zhao Fu had built many brick kilns that could produce bricks that were even harder than ordinary stones. They were as hard as steel, and because they added metal powder during the firing process, these bricks would be used to build the Great Wall and City Walls in the future.
In terms of laws, Shang Yang was in charge. Historically, he had been in charge of Qin's reforms, and it was as if history was repeating itself. Of course, changing a law was not something that could be done by a single person, and it required the help of many people.
At the same time, Qin started to prepare to attack the southern side. Back when they had signed the Contract, all of Qin's soldiers and City Lords were not allowed to take a single step into the contracted region. However, Qin had someone else, Qin's Assassins, and the Contract did not state that Qin's Assassins could not enter.
Zhao Fu looked at the 100 Assassins beside him. They were now the elites of Qin's elites, and they were adept at assassination and concealment. Their Cultivation had also reached Stage 3.
"Your … Majesty, I'm … ready!"
For some reason, Little Sha's speech was not very smooth, and his height had not changed much. He still looked like a 12 or 13-year-old boy, and his blood-red eyes and sharp teeth made people feel quite afraid.
Even though Zhao Fu did not know what the Sin Devil Bloodline was, based on his 500-year lifespan, he knew that Little Sha's identity was not simple at all. Zhao Fu had already given Little Sha a name. His surname was now Zhao Fu, and his name was Zhao Sha.
…
In the enchanting night, a handsome-looking City Lord called Zhang Nan walked out. He was the City Lord of Water Spirit City. Now that two months had passed and nothing had happened, many City Lords felt at ease. Qin would not attack them. After all, with the powerful Contract, Qin would not dare to do anything to them.
Zhang Nan thought so too. More than two months had passed, and there was nothing to worry about. He was already very satisfied with his current life. Everything was comfortable, peaceful, and happy. He was with his wife every day, and at the same time, he took care of his mother, and he was about to welcome his child.
Indeed, his wife was already eight months pregnant, and the baby would be born in two months. He did not know if it was a boy or a girl, but he did not know. Zhang Nan did not know if it was a boy or a girl.
At that, Zhang Nan's City's City was, and was that Chen. Zhao Lord, and was,
Zhang Nan frowned and walked out to take a look. He found that the streets were ablaze with raging flames, and there were flames in all directions. The situation was urgent, so Zhang Nan immediately put out the fire himself. Otherwise, if the fire spread, it would burn down his city.
After a while, the fire was extinguished. Zhang Nan also felt that something was off. Why had the city suddenly burst into flames? Moreover, there were flames everywhere. If it was a coincidence, it couldn't have been so coincidental.
Back in the room, Zhang Nan's eyes turned cold. The ominous thought in her heart had been confirmed.
Now, his beloved wife and mother had been captured, and a sharp knife was placed on their necks.
Zhang Nan was a little angry. These two were the most important people in his life. "Who are you? Release my wife's parents! "
A smile appeared on Wang Ergou's face as he said, "City Lord Zhang! As long as you obey our orders, we'll naturally let them go. "
Zhang Nan felt that something was off and that he was in danger. However, looking at his wife and mother, he endured it and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"It's very simple. Ask City Lord Zhang Nan to take your soldiers to attack Qin's territory and then retreat. Afterwards, you can take your people and family and leave, and Qin won't stop you at all!" Wang Ergou said as he smiled.
Zhang Nan felt quite startled – it was indeed Qin's people. However, if he did as they said, he would be breaking the contract, and everyone's stats would be reduced by 40%. They wouldn't be a match for Qin at all.
After all, even if they had Stage 1 soldiers, their stats would be reduced by 40%, and the five regions wouldn't be able to stop Qin at all.
By now, Zhang Nan completely understood Qin's goal, and his expression became incredibly unsightly as he said angrily, "So Qin never wanted peace, and yet you're using such despicable methods!"
Wang Ergou didn't mind at all, and he took out a dagger and lightly cut Zhang Nan's wife's bulging stomach. Zhang Nan's wife was so scared that her entire body trembled, and tears continuously flowed out of her eyes.
"City Lord Zhang! I'll say it one more time: take your soldiers to attack Qin's territory, and you can take your people and run away. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that your wife, mother, and your unborn child will survive! " Wang Ergou said coldly as he looked at Zhang Nan.
Zhang Nan was furious. He glanced at his wife, who was in tears, and his mother, who was trembling. In the end, he agreed.
Wang Ergou once again smiled. In actuality, before Qin had taken action, he had already looked for targets among the City Lords. If he could grab their most important thing, they would definitely submit.
Following this, Zhang Nan gathered his soldiers and made preparations to relocate before starting to invade Qin's territory.
"System announcement! The southern region has invaded Qin's territory, and the southern factions have broken the contract. All of them have been reduced by 40%! "
This system announcement was like a bolt of lightning in the night, exploding in countless people's ears. After hearing this, everyone's expressions fell.
At that moment, Zhao Fu rode on Black Forest's body and led eight million soldiers and countless Generals. They had long since prepared at the boundary region, and as soon as the system announcement sounded out, Zhao Fu gave the order to attack.
The army rushed forwards like a flood, giving off a shocking aura as they charged into a region. In order to quickly resolve the battle and catch Qin Zhao off guard, Zhao Fu and Bai Qi each led half of their soldiers and Generals to invade two regions.
The City Lords just received the system announcement and haven't realized why the contract had been broken, and why it was them who had broken the contract. Let's see if we can sign a new contract with Qin tomorrow.
