The Lord's Empire

Chapter 1020: New Corps

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Great Qin’s strength had once again become many times more powerful. They had over 40,000 Counties, which meant that Great Qin could have over 40,000 Civil Officials defending Great Qin. With the other Cities and Martial Officials, Great Qin’s true power could be said to be absolutely monstrous.

With this sort of strength, the three other Continents would not be able to break into Great Qin at all. Now, only Great Qin had the right to attack them, and they no longer had to fear the threat of the other Continents.

However, Zhao Fu was now posed with a new problem, which was the 33 new Corps.

Great Qin already had 23 Special Corps, and Zhao Fu had spent a lot of effort creating them. The main problem was the vessels, which were quite rare. Each vessel required immense power.

Back then, Zhao Fu had already used up all of the special vessels to create the 23 Special Corps, and he could not think of anything else that could be used.

This made Zhao Fu’s head ache – could it be that he had to establish ordinary Corps?

At that moment, Zhao Fu thought about the Sects and the Hundred Schools of Thought. Perhaps they could be used as vessels.

When he thought of this, a smile appeared on Zhao Fu’s face. However, they had only just submitted to Great Qin, and their factions all belonged to themselves. Zhao Fu needed to confirm if they would be suitable or not.

The Sects that Zhao Fu had conquered would definitely be useable, as the Heaven Awaken World’s sects were not any weaker than most Dynasty factions. There were still 29 Corps remaining, however.

A few days later, Zhao Fu discussed this matter with the Hundred Schools of Thought, and they were all quite cooperative. After some testing, they found that only some Schools were suitable, as some Schools were not suited to fighting, such as the School of Legalism, the School of Logicians, the School of Miscellany, and the School of Medicine.

These Schools all had abilities in other areas, so they were unable to become vessels for Corps. One of the suitable ones were the Ancient Clans; they had been one of the most powerful legacy factions, and their legacy was a bit stronger than even China’s Five Great Dynasties.

There were also the School of Taoism, the School of Military, the School of War, the School of Armaments, and the School of Yin Yang.

There were seven of them in total, so there were still 22 Corps that required vessels.

At that moment, Zhao Fu remembered that two of the Corps he had seen during the battle between the Lelai Kingdom and Blue Wolf Kingdom were Cavalry Corps. Great Qin did not seem to have any, and with how powerful Cavalry Corps were, Great Qin could not do without them. As such, Zhao Fu decided to create some Cavalry Corps.

Great Qin’s main mounts were Black God Horses, which had been enhanced many times. The Black God Horse Den was already incredibly high grade, and it had fused with a trace of Divinity, making it incredibly powerful.

Zhao Fu went over, tested it, and found that it was possible to be used as a vessel.

Apart from the Black God Horses as the main mounts, Great Qin had also nurtured two other types of mounts, which were the Orcs’ Giant Wolves and the Elves’ Giant Deer.

The Giant Deer were relatively mild, and ordinary people could ride them as well, though controlling them was quite difficult. However, the Elves were quite proficient at riding them. On the other hand, most ordinary people did not dare to ride the Giant Wolves. Because of how ferocious they looked, ordinary people did not dare to ride them.

Moreover, the Giant Wolves could only be mounted by the Orcs; anyone else who rode them would not be able to control them at all.

Because of this, Great Qin had nurtured some Giant Wolves and Giant Deer but not in large numbers.

In actuality, Great Qin now had many Orcs and Elves, hundreds of millions of each, so Zhao Fu felt that nurturing two Cavalry Corps for them would be no problem.

The Giant Wolf Den and Giant Deer were both bound to Cities; this was the advantage that the Outlanders had. If humans wanted mounts, they would have to search and capture them for themselves.

Zhao Fu went to an Orc Great City and took out a Corps Core. He found that it was suitable to be a vessel, but it did not have enough power and could only create an ordinary Corps.

However, Zhao Fu would not be stopped by something like this. This was because the Giant Wolf Den required Orc Blood Crystals, which were fused from the blood of countless Orcs. An Orc Blood Crystal required the blood of at least 100,000 Orcs to form.

They could increase the power of the Giant Wolf Den using Orc Blood Crystals, and Great Qin had many Orcs. As such, Zhao Fu ordered people to collect blood from Orcs. Similarly, the Giant Deer Dens also required Elf Blood Crystals, so he also ordered for Elf blood to be collected as well.

Of course, this did not require the killing of any people; everyone just had to give a bit of blood. Because there were hundreds of millions of them, a bit from everyone could form an ocean.

Using the secret techniques of the Orcs and Elves, all of the blood was fused together into two blood crystals that were each one meter wide. They gave off powerful auras as well as the dense smell of blood, making people instinctively want to retreat from them.

Following this, Zhao Fu used the two blood crystals on the Giant Wolf Den and Giant Deer Den. Two rays of blood-red light shot into the sky, causing blood-red auras to spread out. The images of a giant wolf and giant deer appeared in the sky, giving off heaven-shaking roars.

The Dens’ power continuously increased, causing all sorts of abnormal signs. This was to be expected from fusing the blood of hundreds of millions of people, and the two Dens gained enough power to become vessels.

Now, Zhao Fu still had 19 more Corps to create. This was still quite a large number; what else could he use?

Suddenly, Zhao Fu thought of something, and he could not help but smile. Back when Great Qin had become a Level 1 Marquisate Kingdom, Great Qin had not yet unified any large areas. Now that they had unified the Midland Continent, they had conquered many Legacy factions.

Even though these Legacy factions’ stats were quite ordinary and the Special Corps they created would be quite ordinary, they would be better than ordinary Corps at least. As such, Zhao Fu decided to make these Legacy factions into vessels as well.

Zhao Fu ordered people to bring him information on these Legacy factions, and he found that 14 of them could be used as vessels.

There were now five Corps Cores remaining. After thinking incredibly hard, Zhao Fu realized that he had forgotten about a powerful City, which was Masanori Hano’s Devil City.

After they had submitted to Great Qin, Zhao Fu had not visited ever since. It did not need to be stated how powerful the Devil City was – all of its residents had a trace of the Devil bloodline, and the City had all kinds of powerful Devils. Ordinary people did not dare to take even a step inside.

With the Devil City, there were only four Corps Cores left. Zhao Fu could not think of what else to use, so he stored them away for now. There would be more battles in the future, and he would obtain more suitable vessels.

Following this, Zhao Fu started to create the Corps. He first went to the Black God Horse Den and fused a Corps Core into it. A formless aura spread out, and countless Black God Horses raised their heads and whinnied, while their King, Black Forest, did the same.

The Den gave off boundless black light, and a powerful aura blasted out as if a godly spirit was descending. An incredibly tall and well-built black horse appeared above the Den before turning into a stone stele.
