"Commander, it's too late, let's surrender!"
They were all battle-hardened soldiers, unafraid of fighting, but this enemy that could never be killed instilled a deep sense of despair in them.
"Are we really going to surrender?" The regimental commander's expression darkened.
"Commander, the enemy is an undead army. There's no shame in surrendering!" the soldier urged again.
They weren't the only ones who surrendered; many others had already surrendered at the front.
After all, the enemy is impossible to kill, and they seem to have no other choice but to be killed or surrender.
The key point is that the Undead Legion never indiscriminately kills Chinese people, which is why they were willing to surrender.
But if you're not Chinese, then you're out of luck. No matter what country you're from, encountering the Undead Legion means certain death.
I heard that in Shanghai and Hong Kong, almost all the foreigners have been killed.
"Let's surrender." After pondering for a long time, the commander finally sighed and chose to surrender.
He realized that his soldiers had lost their will to fight and that there was no point in continuing to resist.
"You've lasted for half an hour, that's pretty good!"
On the Qin army's chariot, seeing that the enemy had finally opened the city gates and surrendered, Meng Yi's lips curled into a smile.
The next step, naturally, was to take over the counties and towns, and to incorporate the enemy's soldiers.
The latest order from Li Ling is to incorporate them into the army, since rebuilding a new army would take too long, so it would be better to directly incorporate soldiers from a certain party.
The key point is that these recruited soldiers are basically battle veterans, the elite of the elite.
The Undying Legion invaded the Central Plains, and in less than half a month, more than twenty provinces across the country changed their flags and allied with the Qin Empire. Now, most of China has been incorporated into the territory of the Qin Empire.
As news of the Undying Legion's exploits spread, the entire nation of China was shaken, and countless newspapers rushed to report on it.
No one knows where the Undying Legion came from, but in just half a month they have taken over most of China's territory. A five-colored flag hangs on the city wall, with a two-winged dragon painted on it.
The undead soldiers were dressed in ancient attire, each wearing bronze armor and surrounded by an astonishing aura of malevolence, as they slaughtered the lawless and rebellious in the city.
More than twenty provinces united, changed their name to the 'Great Qin Empire', honored the First Emperor as the Great Qin Emperor, restored the Qin system, and awakened the vast empire that had long since vanished more than two thousand years ago from history.
Furthermore, some people in high hats and wide belts issued decrees to quell the unrest. Under the rule of Qin, civil and military affairs went hand in hand. The military merit system and the enrollment of students in Jixia Academy were gradually awakening the last bit of fighting spirit in this long-impoverished nation.
The feudal imperial system, which had only been overthrown not long ago, was revived at this moment, and far surpassed the Qing government at the time. The Qing government still knew what compromise meant, while the Qin Dynasty was always tough.
Those who disobey will die; those who disobey orders will be executed!
Countless heads rolled overnight. Foreigners who used to lord it over China did not have time to escape. They were all paraded through the streets and then executed. The sight of the hanging corpses enraged the Western powers, who wondered if the Chinese had gone mad.
The foreign powers boasted that they would teach Qin a lesson, but the very next day they received the devastating news that their coastal navy had been completely annihilated.
At that moment, everyone knew that the world had changed!
...
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. It has been half a year since the Undead Legion was born.
Less than half a month after the Qin army emerged from the Qin Mausoleum, they had conquered most of the Central Plains. Six months later, the entire Central Plains was incorporated into the Qin territory, and all the stubborn forces were wiped out by the Qin soldiers.
"As expected, the mission was not completed!"
On the site of the former Xianyang, a palace now stands once again.
In a palace, Li Ling and Zi Yun sat cross-legged facing each other.
Just as Li Ling had predicted, even after unifying China, the mission was still not accomplished.
"Honey, it seems we need to keep up the good work!" Gu Ziyun smiled sweetly.
Li Ling smiled slightly, but a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"Summon Wang Jian, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, and Yang Yi to an audience."
A few minutes later, the four people appeared in front of Li Ling and his companion.
"Greetings, Your Majesty and Your Majesty." The four knelt respectfully to pay their respects.
"Rise!" Li Ling waved his hand gently, then added, "Although the Great Qin has unified the Central Plains, the Central Plains alone are not enough. What I want is for the entire world to submit to the iron cavalry of the Great Qin!"
The four men perked up at the words, and General Yang stepped forward first, declaring resolutely, "Your humble servant is willing to be the vanguard!"
China was unified by Wang Jian and his people, and General Yang had achieved almost nothing. It would be impossible for General Yang not to be anxious.
Moreover, General Yang is no longer the same as before. He commands a million-strong modern army and is just looking for an opportunity to use his talents. He couldn't be happier if His Majesty wanted to unify the world.
"Yang Yi, listen to my command!" Li Ling said calmly.
"Your humble servant is here!" General Yang's expression brightened with joy, and he immediately knelt on one knee.
"I hereby appoint you as the vanguard, leading a million-strong army to conquer Southeast Asia!" Li Ling ordered.
"Your humble servant obeys the decree!"
If the goal is to unify the world, then the first step is to eliminate the surrounding areas of China.
“Wang Jian, Meng Tian, Meng Yi.” Li Ling looked up at the three generals of Qin.
"Your humble servant is here." The three knelt on one knee.
