The Great Zhou’s hard-earned million-strong army collapsed once again. When the news reached the surrounding dynasties, each one was shocked beyond belief.
On the borders of the hundred dynasties, the Great Zhou, Great Wei, Great Xia, Great Chen, and Great Shang dynasties were actually not much different from each other, standing between equals.
Especially between the Great Zhou and Great Wei, which had been at war for years, it could be said that they harbored deep-seated grievances. Both sides wished to swallow the other, and their hatred likely traced back a thousand years.
In these past few centuries, conflicts had occurred yearly along the borders between the Great Zhou and Great Wei. Even large-scale conflicts would take place every few decades, yet they were in a tit-for-tat situation, unable to truly defeat each other.
However, now, the Great Wei dynasty had actually defeated the Great Zhou’s million-strong army twice in just a month, resulting in the survival of only around two to three hundred thousand of the Great Zhou’s troops.
When this news reached the ears of various dynasties, they were all stunned.
It is essential to understand that the strength of the Great Zhou and Great Wei had always been on par; not only were these two major dynasties equal, but even some surrounding dynasties were similarly matched.
If the Great Wei had the capability to annihilate the Great Zhou, wouldn’t that mean that the Great Wei could easily crush their army without breaking a sweat?
Once this thought emerged, the royal families of various dynasties were immensely shaken.
In no time, the major dynasties went wild trying to gather intelligence about the Great Wei dynasty.
Naturally, everything related to the Chen Di Pavilion was also uncovered.
News about special effect elixirs and new types of armor had reached the ears of these dynasties.
These dynasties utilized various connections and quietly purchased some special effect elixirs from the Great Wei dynasty.
After testing them one by one, they were shocked.
The three special effect elixirs developed by Qin Chen were far more powerful than the elixirs available on the market in the hundred dynasties. Once such elixirs spread within their dynasties, it would take only a year to double the overall strength of their martial artists.
At the same time, some armor and weapons used by Great Wei soldiers against the Great Zhou army were also quietly acquired by the major dynasties.
“Clang!”
Looking at the weapons and armor of the same level being easily torn apart by Great Wei's weapons, these dynasties were all left dumbfounded.
No wonder the Great Wei dynasty could defeat the Great Zhou’s million-strong army with just tens of thousands of troops; the gap in weaponry was simply too vast.
With equipment and strength not on the same level, how could they fight?
These surrounding dynasties could completely envision that in a few years, the national strength of Great Wei would completely surpass theirs, becoming the overlord among them.
At that moment, all the major dynasties felt extremely tense and anxious.
“Chen Di Pavilion, huh?”
These forces wore solemn expressions, their hearts filled with tension.
Although Qin Chen's established Chen Di Pavilion had not yet launched a publicity campaign, it had slowly begun to spread in one corner of the hundred dynasties.
Simultaneously, Qin Chen's name had also quietly spread in some dynasties.
As various dynasties were probing into the Great Wei, in a fortress of the Great Zhou, Qin Chen, Liu Tai, and a group of others gathered once again.
“Young Master Chen, what should we do next?”
Liu Tai and Liu Xuanrui looked at Qin Chen, their faces filled with inquiry.
In the current Great Wei dynasty, Liu Tai was the strongest, but in terms of real influence, it was still Qin Chen.
Qin Chen smiled and said, “Matters between dynasties, I am not too clear on. This still requires Great Wei to handle on its own. However, what I can guarantee is that besides the three special effect elixirs, our Chen Di Pavilion will continue to develop new elixirs to enhance the overall strength of the Great Wei dynasty. Only when the overall strength increases can we truly secure a foothold.”
