The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1400: Chapters 1348-1349 Life Simulation–Threat of the Kingdom, Sui’s Worries Chapter 1400: Chapters 1348-1349 Life Simulation–Threat of the Kingdom, Sui’s Worries If the previous great war between Suiming City and the Rain Clan only attracted the attention of some God Clan forces around Suiming City, for the truly powerful forces, such as the various kingdoms and lords, it was not worth their concern.

But this time, with the God Race Alliance sending ten demigods and an army of five hundred thousand, and the Sui People Clan five demigods with an army of two hundred fifty thousand, a total of fifteen demigod strong participants and nearly eight hundred thousand troops involved, it was enough to attract their attention.

Such formidable opposition is often the scale of conflicts between many kingdoms, and for some lords, it represents the extent of the forces they could muster with all their resources.

If this battle ended with both sides severely damaged or with a pyrrhic victory, it would have been one thing, but a decisive victory would signal a power deserving of caution from all kingdoms, influencing the situation of various countries.

No one would believe that if the God Race Alliance easily defeated Suiming City this time, after truly tasting strength, they would remain content with mediocrity and not seize the opportunity to continue expanding.

Even though it might seem improbable, it was something that both lordships and kingdoms alike could not ignore without vigilance.

Among these, the two kingdoms most concerned were Rain Country and Fire Country.

For the King of Fire Country, although he had hoped his adopted son, Sui, could establish a kingdom, his plans were meant to start with a hundred years or even several hundred years before fruition could be anticipated.

Yet, in just over thirty years, Sui had reached this stage, which could not but surprise him. That Sui was able to accelerate the plan was extremely good news for him.

Upon hearing of this confrontation, at first, he wanted to persuade Sui to be patient and continue amassing strength, but when he found that it was unstoppable, he wondered whether he should intervene.

Yet considering the exposure of his involvement could be easily revealed, he could only suppress the urge with great effort and observe the changes quietly.

As for Rain Country, although one branch of the Rain Clan was ineffectual, it was a branch of the Rain Country royal family. Their demise at the hands of Suiming City, even though they were only one of the culprits, warranted Rain Country’s attention.

Had it not been for the fact that the Sui People Clan was within the borders of Fire Country, and rash intervention could provoke conflict between the two nations, coupled with Rain Country currently being preoccupied with some affairs, they would have long since acted to eliminate not just the Sui People Clan but also the God Race Alliance involved.

The conflict between these two culprits was actually a welcome development for the royal family of Rain Country. Their ideal outcome was for both parties to weaken each other, allowing them to reap the benefits and absorb all assets from both sides.

But in the end, they were disappointed.

The result of this war, like the initial battle between Suiming City and the Rain Clan, ended with an unexpectedly resounding victory for Suiming City.

If the previous overwhelming victory of Suiming City over the Rain Clan was considered accidental by many, this time, the Sui People Clan’s army of two hundred fifty thousand easily routed the five hundred thousand strong army of the God Race Alliance.

Moreover, with five demigods in action, sustaining serious injuries to one demigod on their side while vanquishing six from the God Race Alliance, it truly made them realize that a powerful lord had emerged and the days of these kingdoms were changing.

The escape of four demigods was due to Pei Xuanjing’s decision to hold back; otherwise, those demigods would have perished there.

Sometimes, Pei Xuanjing could not help but lament that although he possessed great power, he could not indulge his whims, needing to consider some practical implications.

As mighty as the Sui People Clan appeared, it still had a significant gap compared to the real power of the various lords and kingdoms.

In such a situation, they could vanquish the God Race Alliance, but could not afford to show too vast a gap, lest they draw the attention of even stronger foes.

Thus, deliberately allowing four demigods, along with a number of soldiers, to flee in defeat was to intentionally reveal some weaknesses of the Sui People Clan, to dispel the apprehensions of those forces.

This strategic demonstration, even if certain powers still held ambitions, would allow Pei Xuanjing to have additional aces up his sleeve for better responses in the future.

But everything had ultimately passed calmly. Whether it was because the demonstrated strength of the Sui People Clan deterred others or was deemed insignificant, the various powers tacitly observed the situation, as had the God Race Alliance initially.

This undoubtedly bought the Sui People Clan more time. Next, carrying the momentum of victory, they pursued the retreating God Race Alliance strong, plundering their wealth and territories, and expanding the Sui People Clan’s influence further.

Meanwhile, as Sui led his troops to continue their expansion, Pei Xuanjing returned to Suiming City and initiated a conscription order, quickly calling up more troops and preparing the army, transforming the originally reserved militia into formal soldiers.

In an era where every citizen was a soldier, the beings of the Sui People Clan, having promoted Martial Arts and undergone rhythmic training each year, were much smoother to train compared to the untrained populace.

In just half a year, another army of over three hundred thousand was readied. Even after the losses of tens of thousands in battle against the God Race Alliance, the current military strength of the Sui People Clan had surpassed five hundred thousand.
