nBack then, the 21 cities in the core area had been connected and built into one city!

n

n

nIt was a large city with a population exceeding one million!

n

n

n

n

nA normal dynasty capital was a city of this level.

n

n

nAfter that, they gathered five million people and started to build more cities.

n

n

nLittle by little, within five years, they had built over a hundred cities in the kingdom.

n

n

nThe entire desolate land of the north had been included.

n

n

n

n

nApart from the high mountains, most of the land had been developed.

n

n

nIn just five years, Sky dynasty had grown from a newborn dynasty to a large country. It was already very famous in Qingzhou.

n

n

nDuring these years, the other countries had naturally attacked Sky Dynasty, but they were just testing the water.

n

n

nThe result was obvious. The strength that Sky Dynasty had displayed was shocking. It was not like a small country that had just been formed.

n

n

n

n

nThe strength of 300 thousand Macedonian phalanx troops was extremely terrifying.

n

n

nRight now, the 300 thousand Macedonian Phalanx troops were stationed the southern border.

n

n

nThe north was high mountains and naturally did not need large numbers of troops to defend it.

n

n

nFurthermore, the entire Northern Liang was actually surrounded by high mountains. The only entrance was a valley in the south.

n

n

nHence, Sky dynasty was actually an easy to defend and hard to attack land. With the 300 thousand Macedonian Phalanx troops guarding the south, even if a million strong troops came, they would not be able to enter.

n

n

nIn addition, Sky Dynasty had a million reserve troops!

n

n

n

n

nSome of them were city defense troops, but most of them were civilian militia who would participate in military training but most of the time did farming at home.

n

n

nThey would farm and increase their grain production, which would make the country stronger.

n

n

nAfter all, a strong country definitely could not be in short of food.

n

n

nThese were the reserve troops that Jerry had prepared. Whenever he needed a new army, these reserves could be pulled out at any time to fuse with heroic souls he had summoned and became a powerful army.

n

n

nHowever, ever since the establishment of the dynasty, the summoning opportunities were not so easy to obtain.

n

n

nOne could create a dynasty or kingdom after occupying 12 cities.

n

n

nHowever, once a dynasty was established, they’d have a piece of land.

n

n

nIf they continued to develop, the number of cities would soar.

n

n

n

n

nFor example, Sky Dynasty controlled the land of Northern Liang and there were over a hundred cities!

n

n

nThere were many medium cities among them. With so many cities, if he could still get one summoning opportunity with a small city and three summoning opportunities for one medium city, then no matter how many mythical characters there were, they would not be enough to summon.

n

n

nHence, after establishing a dynasty, if he wanted to get more summoning opportunities, he must conquer a kingdom first.

n

n

nIf he took down a kingdom, he would get ten summoning opportunities.

n

n

nHe didn’t like it, it was something that could not be helped.

n

n

nHence, this was the reason why Jerry did not attack other cities during this period of time.

n

n

nHe had been developing his strength and waiting for an opportunity.

n

n

nWhen he was strong enough, he would directly start a war against a kingdom.

n

n

nNow that five years had passed, Sky Dynasty had already developed to its peak and he could launch wars whenever he liked.

n

n

n“Greetings, your Majesty!”

n

n

nIn the Sky Palace, all the ministers and gods bowed to Jerry.

n

n

nIt was worth mentioning that because different countries in the history of Earth had different management systems, there had not been a uniformed governing organization.

n

n

nFor example, the positions and levels for officials of the governments were all different.

n

n

n

n

nJerry combined the virtues of various systems in history and set up a cabinet and six ministries.

n

n

nHe put everyone in their most suitable positions and achieved excellent effects.

n

n

nThis system not only strengthened the imperial power, but also increased the working efficiency of the Sky Dynasty. This was also one of the reasons for the rapid development.

n

n

nJerry, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the ministers and gods below and slowly said, “Everyone, do you know why I asked you to come here today?”

n

n

nThe voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the entire palace, and even the people at the back heard it very clearly.

n

n

nThis was the power of a warrior at the peak stage of Level 1.

n

n

nDuring the past five years, Jerry had cultivated his strength to the highest level that this world could allow.

n

n

nHe now had the ability to overpower 10,000 ordinary soldiers.

n

n

n“We do not know, your Majesty!”

n

n

nThe ministers under the throne replied with respect written all over their faces.

n

n

nOf course, they knew why Jerry called them here today, but they did not dare to say anything until they got his order.

n

n

nThis was Jerry, who had the power and majesty of the royal authority!

n

n

n“I called you here because I want to say…”

n

n

nJerry looked at the ministers’ reactions and was very satisfied. Then, he continued, “Our Sky Dynasty has been peaceful for too long.

n

n

n“I’m afraid that my people will become weak because of this. They will forget how our Sky Dynasty came about!

n

n

n“Therefore, we will launch a war against the other kingdoms in Qinzhou!

n

n

n“Everyone, the five years of preparation has finally come to this day.”

n

n

nHearing Jerry’s words, the ministers in the hall were filled with surprise and excitement, especially the generals.

n

n

nThey had been waiting for this moment for five years.

n

n

nAt this moment, the beautiful goddess of wisdom, Metis, took a step forward.

n

n

n“Your majesty, there are many countries in the south of Qingzhou. They have a long history.

n

n

n“These are the three most powerful kingdoms among them.

n

n

n“The first is the Great Peace Dynasty that occupies the central plains of Qingzhou.

n

n

n“The second is the Western Chu Dynasty that occupies the western part of Qingzhou.

n

n

n“the third is the Southern Qing Dynasty that occupies the southern part of Qingzhou!”

n

n

nMetis paused before continuing, “At first, the Sky dynasty was not a threat to them, but after five years, the speed of the Sky Dynasty’s development has shocked the world.

n

n

n“In the past five years, we also fought a few border battles with the most powerful Great Peace Dynasty, thoroughly displaying our strength.

n

n

n“Thus, the people of Qingzhou called our Sky Dynasty, along with the Great Peace Dynasty, the West Chu Dynasty, and the South Qing Dynasty, the four great dynasties of Qingzhou!”

n

n

nJerry nodded.

n

n

nIn just five years, they were able to expand the Sky Dynasty of over 20 cities into a powerful dynasty with over 100 cities, 300,000 regular troops, and a million reserve troops. This was enough to make them proud.
