My Summons Are All Gods - Chapter 23

Chapter 23: The Plan to Unify Qingzhou!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Back then, the 21 cities in the core area had been connected and built into one city!
It was a large city with a population exceeding one million!
A normal dynasty capital was a city of this level.
After that, they gathered five million people and started to build more cities.
Little by little, within five years, they had built over a hundred cities in the kingdom.
The entire desolate land of the north had been included.
Apart from the high mountains, most of the land had been developed.
In just five years, Sky dynasty had grown from a newborn dynasty to a large country. It was already very famous in Qingzhou.
During these years, the other countries had naturally attacked Sky Dynasty, but they were just testing the water.
The result was obvious. The strength that Sky Dynasty had displayed was shocking. It was not like a small country that had just been formed.
The strength of 300 thousand Macedonian phalanx troops was extremely terrifying.
Right now, the 300 thousand Macedonian Phalanx troops were stationed the southern border.
The north was high mountains and naturally did not need large numbers of troops to defend it.
Furthermore, the entire Northern Liang was actually surrounded by high mountains. The only entrance was a valley in the south.
Hence, 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.
In addition, Sky Dynasty had a million reserve troops!
Some 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.
They would farm and increase their grain production, which would make the country stronger.
After all, a strong country definitely could not be in short of food.
These 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.
However, ever since the establishment of the dynasty, the summoning opportunities were not so easy to obtain.
One could create a dynasty or kingdom after occupying 12 cities.
However, once a dynasty was established, they’d have a piece of land.
If they continued to develop, the number of cities would soar.
For example, Sky Dynasty controlled the land of Northern Liang and there were over a hundred cities!
There 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.
Hence, after establishing a dynasty, if he wanted to get more summoning opportunities, he must conquer a kingdom first.
If he took down a kingdom, he would get ten summoning opportunities.
He didn’t like it, it was something that could not be helped.
Hence, this was the reason why Jerry did not attack other cities during this period of time.
He had been developing his strength and waiting for an opportunity.
When he was strong enough, he would directly start a war against a kingdom.
Now that five years had passed, Sky Dynasty had already developed to its peak and he could launch wars whenever he liked.
“Greetings, your Majesty!”
In the Sky Palace, all the ministers and gods bowed to Jerry.
It was worth mentioning that because different countries in the history of Earth had different management systems, there had not been a uniformed governing organization.
For example, the positions and levels for officials of the governments were all different.
Jerry combined the virtues of various systems in history and set up a cabinet and six ministries.
He put everyone in their most suitable positions and achieved excellent effects.
This 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.
Jerry, 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?”
The voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the entire palace, and even the people at the back heard it very clearly.
This was the power of a warrior at the peak stage of Level 1.
During the past five years, Jerry had cultivated his strength to the highest level that this world could allow.
He now had the ability to overpower 10,000 ordinary soldiers.
“We do not know, your Majesty!”
The ministers under the throne replied with respect written all over their faces.
Of course, they knew why Jerry called them here today, but they did not dare to say anything until they got his order.
This was Jerry, who had the power and majesty of the royal authority!
“I called you here because I want to say…”
Jerry looked at the ministers’ reactions and was very satisfied. Then, he continued, “Our Sky Dynasty has been peaceful for too long.
“I’m afraid that my people will become weak because of this. They will forget how our Sky Dynasty came about!
“Therefore, we will launch a war against the other kingdoms in Qinzhou!
“Everyone, the five years of preparation has finally come to this day.”
Hearing Jerry’s words, the ministers in the hall were filled with surprise and excitement, especially the generals.
They had been waiting for this moment for five years.
At this moment, the beautiful goddess of wisdom, Metis, took a step forward.
“Your majesty, there are many countries in the south of Qingzhou. They have a long history.
“These are the three most powerful kingdoms among them.
“The first is the Great Peace Dynasty that occupies the central plains of Qingzhou.
“The second is the Western Chu Dynasty that occupies the western part of Qingzhou.
“the third is the Southern Qing Dynasty that occupies the southern part of Qingzhou!”
Metis 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.
“In the past five years, we also fought a few border battles with the most powerful Great Peace Dynasty, thoroughly displaying our strength.
“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!”
Jerry nodded.
In 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.
