As the figure drew closer, General Turlan's gaze shifted slightly.
A tall, imposing man dressed in a black bird robe walked slowly towards them, carrying a baby in his arms, with a monk in tattered robes following on his right.
The man's gaze was calm and still, revealing no emotion, yet it gave off an air of disdain for all living beings.
It was as if everything in the world was absolutely insignificant to him.
Upon seeing the visitor, Wang Jian exclaimed, "Your humble servant greets Your Majesty!"
The imperial cavalry shouted in unison, "Your humble servants pay their respects to Your Majesty!"
"Your humble servant greets Your Majesty!"
"Your humble servant greets Your Majesty!"
The sound was like thunder, resounding in all directions, its majestic power echoing throughout the surroundings.
Ying Zheng slightly raised his hand, "No need for such formalities, everyone."
Everyone thanked them in unison before standing up straight.
Ying Zheng carried the little one to General Turlan and his gaze fell on General Turlan.
The little guy also looked at General Turland with great curiosity, his little face showing amusement.
[That's the unlucky general. He's just so unlucky; of all people, they're the ones who discovered that passage.]
The Qin Dynasty is now far more powerful than before. The power awakened by just a few princes is enough to make anyone tremble with fear.
Not to mention that even Ying Zheng and Wang Jian awakened their powers, truly becoming both literate and martial, practically perfect beings. Such formidable strength is something that ordinary countries cannot afford to provoke.
Not to mention that the Qin Dynasty has now unified the Xiongnu and Baiyue regions, and its national strength has long been so powerful that it is an absurd level. Money is just a number to it. Under such circumstances, the troops trained are even more powerful, and their combat strength can be described as extremely exaggerated.
Unfortunately, General Turlan encountered such a powerful Qin state.
General Turan looked up at Ying Zheng and asked, "Are you their king?"
Ying Zheng gazed at him. "To be precise, you are the emperor."
General Turlan was quite puzzled, "The Emperor?"
This was the first time he had heard this title, since most people in this land were called kings, except for Alexander the Great of the Macedonian Empire, who was qualified to call himself the Great.
But the title of "emperor" has never been used before.
Ying Zheng said, "There can be many kings, but there can only be one emperor, who is the true ruler."
General Turlan frowned, looking at Ying Zheng with a complicated expression, unsure of how to respond.
These words sound arrogant, but coming from this man, they sound like he's simply stating a fact, not boasting or exaggerating.
While he was still in a daze, Ying Zheng spoke again, "What is the name of your country?"
Unconsciously, General Turlan slowly spoke, "Turlan."
It was as if some strange magic was at play, making him feel that he should answer honestly when facing this man.
Ying Zheng continued, "Now you have a chance to live."
General Turlan looked at Ying Zheng with a complicated expression. "Survive?"
He didn't quite understand what Ying Zheng meant by those words.
Ying Zheng explained, "If you can persuade your king to surrender, then Turkey will have a chance to exist in the world; otherwise, I will erase it from the map."
To conquer this land and unify it for the use of the Qin Dynasty, intelligence on this land is essential.
Instead of spending a lot of effort searching, it would be better to subjugate an existing country, in which case all the necessary intelligence would be readily available.
After all, it is a country, so its intelligence network is naturally not weak, and it should have the necessary capabilities.
General Turlan was quite surprised by this explanation. "You want me to leave?"
Logically speaking, someone of his status and position would never be easily released once captured.
As a general of a nation, he was worth a fortune in exchange for land and money, or he could be used as a bargaining chip to exchange for important hostages.
But in Ying Zheng's eyes, he seemed insignificant, easily discarded, and he was readily let go.
Upon hearing this, Wang Jian snorted coldly, "What good would it do to let you go?!"
He had already experienced General Turland's strength firsthand and knew the man's confidence, so naturally he didn't take him seriously and didn't have a good attitude.
Moreover, this guy was so weak that Wang Jian couldn't get his fill of fighting, which naturally made him a little unhappy.
General Turlan looked at Wang Jian with a complicated expression. "Aren't you afraid I'll bring my men back?"
To General Turlan, this move by the Great Qin is difficult to understand.
Releasing the enemy's general is tantamount to letting a tiger return to the mountains. If the enemy can truly make a comeback, not only to seek revenge but also to capture the enemy in one fell swoop, then this move will be ridiculed for eternity.
Wang Jian's eyes were cold. "With your fighting strength, I could beat you down even if you came back ten thousand times!"
One sentence left General Turland speechless, unable to find a rebuttal.
He wasn't stupid; after this battle, he realized just how terrifying the strength of the Qin Dynasty was.
In terms of military strength, Turkey suffered a complete defeat, its capabilities being utterly inferior to those of the Qin Dynasty.
The gap between him and Wang Jian was also very obvious. As someone who had experienced it firsthand, he knew that he could never defeat Wang Jian.
Just like in the battle just now, he was defeated in just one round.
If Wang Jian really wanted to kill him, it would only take the blink of an eye; he wouldn't even have time to react.
With permission, the Turkish general mounted his black horse and slowly rode away, leaving behind a vast line of corpses, almost all of whom were Turkish soldiers.
They arrived in a large and imposing manner, but when they left, only General Turlan remained.
Wang Jian scrutinized the retreating figure and muttered, "Will his king truly surrender?"
Ying Zheng's eyes were indifferent. "I have given them the opportunity. Whether they seize it or not is their business."
The little guy stared at that retreating figure, but couldn't help muttering to himself.
If they surrender, that's fine. But if they fight to the death, it'll be tricky, and if things aren't handled well, Qin will suffer.
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes flickered slightly.
Suffer a loss?
With Turkey's strength, how could they possibly cause the Qin Dynasty to suffer a loss?
After the battle just now, the difference in strength was obvious enough; Turkey was no match for Great Qin.
But the little guy said something that really surprised Ying Zheng.
But since it was the little guy who said it, Ying Zheng knew there must be a reason, and naturally he should pay attention to it.
