Chapter 1336 – Specter Legion Corps

Ashoka died, died without making a sound.

As the only remaining NPC emperor in the game world, Ashoka held absolute power and authority in the Ashoka Dynasty. He could decide the life or death of a person with his words and was the soul of the entire dynasty.

Consequently, his sudden death was a catastrophic blow to the entire dynasty.

The morale that had just risen up instantly dropped to a freezing point.

The army did not know whether they should follow the original plan and counterattack Great Xia’s invasion or send the king’s body back to the imperial city and choose a new inheritor.

On the other side, Great Xia’s attacks grew in intensity.

At such a time, if the Peacock King was still present, maybe they could have risen up once more and raised their flag once again. Helplessly, the moment Ashoka destroyed the Peacock Dynasty, he designated for the Peacock King to be wiped out and sent to the reincarnation hall.

The Peacock King was helpless and could only join another dynasty.

Along with the Gupta King going to the Ottoman Dynasty, the current India Region had no leader. Facing the attacks of Great Xia, their collapse was just a matter of time.

…

10th month, 18th day, Imperial Capital.

After using the emperor instant death talisman, Ouyang Shuo did not pay much attention to the India situation. Under such circumstances, if the Great Xia Army failed to occupy the entirety of India, they would have totally failed.

A portion of Ouyang Shuo’s mind focused on the post-war matters of the Mayan war.

After establishing the Caribbean Province a day ago, the America warzone adjusted the defensive zones of the three legion corps to adapt to the new developments.

The North America legion corps would move from the current Columbia Province to the new Caribbean Province to act as the main defensive force against the Dawson Dynasty.

Along with the Mayan war dust settling, the Dawson Dynasty would enter a short period of seclusion.

The Dawson Dynasty had taken close to a year to destroy the Maple Dynasty. Afterward, to deal with the Mayan Dynasty, the Dawson Dynasty had taken close to another year.

Two successive years of wars placed a huge burden on the Dawson Dynasty. Be it labor or resources, both had reached a dangerous point, and they needed to rest up.

Moreover, there was a need to calm down the occupied warzones. As such, although the global landscape was changing, and it was the best time to rise up and build an empire, Jack did not let victory get to his head. He rationally stopped to focus on internal rule.

He was crystal clear that only after managing North America well could he start talking about other things.

Furthermore, of the three base spots, the Dawson Dynasty would own one of them if nothing went wrong. Naturally, Jack was not so anxious anymore.

After all, being stable was better than anything else.

Of course, resting up did not mean doing nothing.

Similar to Great Xia’s previous move, the Dawson Dynasty did not forget about their overseas land as they strengthened their internal administration.

The Dawson Dynasty’s only overseas land was located in Central Africa.

During this period of time, he was busy with the Mayan war, so he did not have the effort to spare to care about Africa. Now that the Mayan Dynasty situation was settled, he naturally could not allow the Bantu Dynasty to continue to be so arrogant.

In the upcoming war of Africa, there would probably be something nice to see.

From a big picture perspective, the Dawson Dynasty resting up was also a good thing for the North America legion corps. This breather would allow them to build up defenses at the border of the Caribbean Province.

The South America legion corps would continue to guard the Amazon, Brasilia, and Uruguay provinces. As for the Tiger legion corps, they would shift from the Brasilia Province to the Columbia Province.

More than a year had passed since the Brasilia Dynasty’s submission. The three provinces in South America had stabilized, and the internal conflicts had been slowly cleared up. Consequently, there were not more big problems.

As such, they did not need to house the Tiger legion corps in Brasilia Province to threaten them.

As for the threat that the Indian Empire posed, it basically amounted to nothing. Although they were not Great Xia’s ally, they were really clear that nothing good would happen to them if theu went against Great Xia.

The South America situation had stabilized, which was the best thing for the Indian Empire.

Furthermore, it would be difficult for the Indian Empire to obtain the other spot for the Planet Hope base. In terms of Planet Hope matters, Juarez needed Great Xia’s help, so he could not be too impudent.

Of course, having some sort of defense was still necessary.

Ouyang Shuo did not wish to see the America Governor-General House he had spent so much to build up collapse upon itself.

The Tiger legion corps was moved to Columbia Province so that it could be moved up north to help the Caribbean Province or down to assist the three provinces in South America.

The America warzone situation was settled just like that.

Apart from the adjustments to the America warzone, the Mercenary army would be next.

After two wars, the previously nine legion strong Mercenary army had been reduced to only six legions for a total of 300 thousand troops.

After the training of the two wars, the remaining mercenaries were true elites, and their strength was no different from Great Xia’s proper army.

Due to the Mercenary army’s contributions in the America battlefield, Ouyang Shuo decided to give them the title of Specter legion corps. Due to their flexibility, Ouyang Shuo did not place a legion number restriction on them and allowed them to adjust based on the situation.

This was a reward for them. From now on, they were a proper army of the Empire that was secretly registered; they were no longer different from the other legion corps.

To battle control this legion corps, Ouyang Shuo ordered the promotion of Imperial Palace Guards 1st legion Legion General Zeng Guofan to the Specter legion corps marshal position.

Zeng Guoquan was the ninth brother of Zeng Guofan and had graduated from Xiang village private school. He was one of the main generals of the Xiang army.

With Zeng Guoquan there, Ouyang Shuo could finally relax for sure.

The Legion General position would be taken over by Lin Jing. The 1st legion deputy Legion General Moon Shines over the River would be shifted over to the 5th legion Legion General position.

As such, the Imperial Palace Guards welcomed a round of reshuffling. Lin Jing’s upgrade was a clear signal that Ouyang Shuo wanted this special unit to be totally under his control.

Along with the America situation stabilizing, it was not suitable to leave the Specter legion corps in the America Governor-General House.

After listening to the Privy Court’s suggestion, the Imperial Court decided to move them secretly to the Africa warzone to execute a secret military operation codenamed steel forging.

The operation concerned the Empire’s plan in Europe, which showed the importance the Imperial Court placed on the Specter legion corps.

The current European battlefield had a really weird atmosphere. Ouyang Shuo could not make his mind up right away, which was why he allowed the Specter legion corps to adapt to the situation after they arrived in Africa.

…

10th month, 20th day, Gaia suddenly revealed a piece of news online that sent the world into total silence. Even Ouyang Shuo’s expression changed.
