Mythical Three Kingdoms

But the problem is that it’s completely impossible to extract, you can’t just bring miners over to dig, the cost would be astronomical. Besides, given such dangerous work, in the current environment of the Central Plains, it’s usually criminals who are used for mining, as not many noble family members are willing to do this.

To be blunt, everything related to mining at this time is stained with blood, even though it mainly involves criminals and slaves, it’s inevitably bloody, so using Central Plains People for mining remains mere speculation.

As for this place, Taishi Ci noticed there are indeed many open-pit mines, which are easier to exploit. However, whether it’s any kind of mine, it requires manpower to dig. Directly capturing people here for mining seems excessively cruel to Taishi Ci.

Of course, if he could capture and control the people, then being incredibly ruthless could be permissible. But mining this much might require fifty to sixty thousand people, and these mines are scattered everywhere. He simply couldn’t divide his Navy to guard them.

This was also the most distressing issue for Taishi Ci. The arrival of Yizhima sparked an idea in Taishi Ci’s mind, and he suddenly realized that Mi Fang’s method wasn’t bad. They could help unify this area, and then let the King manage the miners for them.

Perhaps these kings might rebel or have special thoughts in the future, but compared to the current difficulty, by then it might be just a major battle. Well, it can’t even be called a major battle. Taishi Ci completely disregarded these fellows who were shorter than the horses used by most military generals in combat power.

Thus, after Yizhima cried out, Taishi Ci sternly proclaimed that as a General of the Great Han State, he absolutely cannot let a Vassal State granted by the Great Han be subjected to such humiliation. I will help you restore your kingdom!

Yizhima initially thought that Taishi Ci would only help them restore Bumiguk’s rule, but completely didn’t expect Taishi Ci to rampage all the way, destroying dozens of cities, even eliminating some "Great Powers" with actual city walls, quickly unifying half of the North, instantly propelling Bumiguk to become one of the five major forces on the Japanese Island.

This astonishing change was incredible to Yizhima. He completely didn’t know why Taishi Ci helped him to such an extent, but the powerful Martial Force displayed by Taishi Ci gained Yizhima’s increasing awe, making him more humble before Taishi Ci.

Hence, he made great efforts to gather all kinds of Gold and Silver Jewelry or anything of value for Taishi Ci, not daring to retain anything for himself.

However, Taishi Ci now also felt quite strange. Initially, when he went around eradicating these illegal villages, they retaliated frenziedly. But now, as long as he appears on horseback, people would often rush out of the village, kneel before him, and pledge their loyalty.

More terrifyingly, these people seemingly sincerely offered their loyalty, obeying his orders without the slightest deviation. Every time he appeared with his five hundred trusted aides, they all shouted loudly, and it was a fervent shout.

Taishi Ci had once asked the translator arranged by Yizhima to help translate, only to learn that these people called him a God, or the returning Main God of Great Power. Well, Taishi Ci had no idea what this meant, but it didn’t matter. They could call him whatever they wanted.

In fact, Yizhima’s translator didn’t dare to translate the original meaning to Taishi Ci. In fact, these people called Taishi Ci the returning Great Demon God, and those five hundred trusted aides were also referred to as Demon Gods.

However, for Japan, whether it’s a God or a demon, it doesn’t matter. In fact, a demon might even be better. Anyway, as long as the power is strong enough, it’s enough. As long as the power is strong enough, they will offer their loyalty without complaint and kneel, as this is a strange race.

Of course, Taishi Ci was completely unaware of this, and even knowing it wouldn’t matter to him. He truly intended to level the entire Japan now, having destroyed so many small countries, and his daily income from the mines had increased significantly. Coupled with the Gold and Silver looted from various village chiefs, Taishi Ci stated that he was already able to launch another ship.

"The nearby villages are almost flattened. Next, is there any tough village?" Taishi Ci asked the translator.

Taishi Ci found it ridiculous how in this life, he could easily destroy nations just by wandering around, and kings would come with their lands and people to surrender. It’s said that his great name is already enough to suppress the rebellion of several millions of gods in the North of Wa Kingdom.

In such a ludicrous life of daily nation-destroying, Taishi Ci occasionally wondered about peculiar things. For instance, when he hears others brag about how many people surrender when they exude the Aura of Domination, he could truly smile and remain silent.

Currently, the so-called little countries, claiming to be nations with city walls, when seeing the Great Demon God Taishi Ci appear, their village chiefs would personally come out and kneel before Taishi Ci to pledge their allegiance, surrendering their lands and people all to Taishi Ci.

Subsequently, from the rear, Yizhima hurriedly began arranging for these people to resume production, mining, and restoring labor to such an extent that Taishi Ci’s speed of destroying countries now exceeded Yizhima’s ability to send people to manage them.

Now, the Lord of Bumiguk was both in pain and joy as the meager number of people he had was completely inadequate for arrangements, but he was utterly fearless, confident that as long as he held onto Taishi Ci’s golden thigh, he was invincible there.

Therefore, recently, the Lord of Bumiguk had delegated the management of Bumiguk to the new ministers he recruited, while he racked his brains to flatter Taishi Ci, Taishi Ci’s aides, and the Navy. Essentially, whatever was needed was revered as if serving gods.

Under such circumstances, after leveling the North, Taishi Ci began his southward march, preparing to deal with the remaining four major forces. He planned to leave only Bumiguk here, eradicating the rest for easier control.

As for Yizhima, after Taishi Ci unified the North, he spared no effort to conscript an army of ten thousand for Taishi Ci, which was subsequently dissolved by Taishi Ci.

In Taishi Ci’s view, this kind of war was utterly meaningless. That army of ten thousand, with not even sufficient weaponry, could be defeated by a single charge led by him and his trusted aides, making it a waste of food and slowing down the march. His five hundred cavalry were more than capable of defeating anything.

Afterward, Yizhima promptly disbanded the ten thousand, ordering those who should farm to farm, those who should mine to mine, contributing everything the Great Demon God demanded as tribute.

The translator was extremely honored to introduce the nearby countries to Taishi Ci, who proceeded to eradicate seven more villages that very day. However, unlike the northern village chiefs who would rush out and kneel, calling him daddy upon seeing Taishi Ci, the village chiefs here actually fought back against Taishi Ci.

Even when attacking the third village, four nearby villages surprisingly mobilized troops for rescue, causing one of Taishi Ci’s trusted aides to get an arrow in the knee, marking the first injury record for the Great Demon God Legion.

Of course, such a minor knee injury was treated by the medics, and the next day, the Great Demon God Legion continued their expedition, exterminating several more villages.

Then, with the guidance found by the translator, Taishi Ci learned that this place was said to be under the Yamato Dynasty’s influence. Decades ago, the Yamato Dynasty conquered Izumo, and Umasakiru Hikonomikoto conquered this area, a place protected by the Great Deity of Objects.

Allegedly, the Main God of Great Power allowed the Great Deity of Objects to rule over the gods and serve the Celestial Grandson. In short, this place was said to have gods.

The translator naturally feared upon hearing this, but Taishi Ci dismissed it as utterly ridiculous, instructing the guide to keep leading the way, even if gods appeared, he would handle them.

Although the translator was terrified, Taishi Ci was indeed more frightening, so tremblingly, he had the guide continue to lead the way. The guide, equally trembling, could not refuse, allowing Taishi Ci to continue his southward nation-destroying with unimpeded speed.
