I'll tell you all, this land is round and we can sail forward without looking back, never worrying about losing our way home—wealth and homestead lie straight ahead.
Fear no powerful enem...
"Chief, these Xia scouts are very skilled, especially with their special weapons. Most of our men have died from those smoking weapons."
"Have our men drive the herdsmen closer to them, without weapons or armor, and with smiles on their faces. This Great Xia army is very conservative and won't harm ordinary people. We must find out the details of this Great Xia army and report to General Somov in the capital."
The next day, when the following troops of the Great Xia Northern Route Army arrived following in the footsteps of the Da Yuan Army, a group of tribal herders, spoiled by Qin Mo, drove their herds toward the Great Xia army with smiles, while brazenly spying on the number of Da Yuan troops and their weaponry.
And then... that was the end of them. How could you expect the nobles and second- or third-rate imperial guards of the Great Xia to have any good military discipline? They fought and scrambled like wolves, dividing up all the living creatures within a thirty-mile radius of the army. Those who looked like soldiers were chopped down for military merit, the honest and hardworking were made slaves to carry bricks, and those who were somewhat attractive...
The way the Da Xia people educate other races is very unique; some people will specifically discuss life with beautiful women.
Qin Mo had seen the map of the Great Xia Empire. The map included the entire region south of the Aral Sea and north of the Pamir Mountains within the territory of Great Xia, which meant that Great Xia considered itself the suzerain state of the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions.
The kingdoms of the Western Regions had not witnessed the might of the Great Xia for many years. When the Rakshasa people, together with the orcs, marched south, they forgot that the Great Xia was once a fierce nation, and thus betrayed the Great Xia Dynasty to which they had sworn allegiance. This western expeditionary force carried the heavy responsibility of awakening their awe of the Great Xia Empire.
After Qin Mo arrived at the former site of the Dayuan Protectorate and set up camp, he immediately met the envoy sent by Kangju.
"Your Highness, Prince Heng, you are a benevolent commander who cares for the people, but your hatred and cruelty towards the orcs will bring immense disaster to the people of this land! Moreover, your army will suffer their vengeful fury, and everyone will die!"
After meeting Qin Mo, the envoy who claimed to be the prime minister of Kangju Kingdom issued a warning to Qin Mo in broken Daxia language. Of course, if he had known that Qin Mo was only the vanguard and that there were more than 200,000 people behind him, he probably wouldn't have said that.
His only way to survive was to immediately kneel down and lick Qin Mo's shoes.
"I have just arrived here and have not yet seen any orcs. What are you referring to as hatred and cruelty?" Qin Mo already had some idea of what was going on, but still wanted to confirm it.
"...The entire noble Thunderblade clan was skinned alive and impaled on wooden poles. Wasn't this...the work of you?"
