The situation in the imperial capital was fraught with danger.
As the assets of the Song and Zhao families were mysteriously acquired by an unknown individual, various factions eager to seize an opportunity fell into an unprecedented silence. No one dared to act against this shadowy mastermind.
Within the villa, Ye Xuan was seemingly unaware of these developments.
It was in the afternoon.
The warm and gentle sunlight bathed everything in a comfortable glow.
"Ding, Host triggers a random mission: The Bestar Kingdom annexes a territory of one million kilometers in radius. Reward: Ultimate Spatial Ability!"
"Mission Failure: Physique +1!"
Ye Xuan, who was lounging idly, heard the system's voice. "The Bestar Kingdom, annexing a territory of one million kilometers in radius??"
"What the heck, is the system going crazy!"
Ye Xuan muttered to himself. Currently, the Bestar Kingdom's territory was less than 300,000 kilometers in radius. Now, it was directly expanding to a million kilometers, a threefold to fourfold increase in the kingdom's map.
"But... what is Ultimate Spatial Ability? Could it be a cheat for traversing space!"
At this thought, a gleam appeared in Ye Xuan's eyes. "If that's truly the case, then annexing a million kilometers of territory for the Bestar Kingdom isn't too much to ask."
Muttering to himself, Ye Xuan was clearly tempted. Even with his current plethora of abilities, making him seem like a god to ordinary people, the prospect of spatial abilities was something even gods would covet!
"Well, let's do it!"
Without further thought, Ye Xuan made his decision. Moreover, the Bestar Kingdom was bound to expand its territory eventually. Wouldn't it be wonderful to complete the mission now?
"It seems like it's time for supersonic unmanned fighter jets to make an appearance."
Ye Xuan already had plans for the future. The supersonic unmanned fighter jets were the aerial combat aircraft he had prepared for the Bestar Kingdom.
"Ding, Congratulations to Host for successfully redeeming [Supersonic Unmanned Fighter Jet] x100. Cost: 100 million r..."
Before Lops could even reprimand him, he exclaimed in a voice almost reaching 120 decibels, "My Lord Duke, something major has happened!"
"In front of the royal palace square, hundreds of fighter jets of unknown models descended from the sky a few minutes ago. They were not piloted by anyone. Initial assessment suggests they are all drones."
Boom!!!
Upon hearing his confidant's words, Lops' pupils widened, and he sprang up from his seat. "What did you say!"
Lops' first thought went to the King's recent words. High-tech unmanned fighter jets, could it be...
"Let's go, come with me to see!"
Lops led the way, his speed even surpassing that of his seasoned confidant, leaving the latter momentarily stunned, not expecting his Lord Duke to be in such good physical condition.
"My Lord Duke, wait for me~~"
About a few minutes later.
Lops and his panting confidant arrived at the royal palace square. Upon seeing the hundreds of streamlined unmanned fighter jets, he couldn't help but purse his lips.
"My Lord Duke, could it be that you know the origin of these unmanned fighter jets?"
After much thought, the confidant finally voiced the question most on his mind. Lops, however, did not look at his confidant, his eyes fixed on the hundreds of unmanned fighter jets in front of the royal palace square. He slightly parted his stiff lips, took a deep breath to calm his turbulent emotions, and said, "This is the support His Majesty has provided us. His Majesty has ordered us to take the surrounding million kilometers of territory within a week with these."
"Pfft~ Cough cough cough~!"
Upon hearing Duke Lops' words, the confidant nearly choked on his own saliva, his eyes widening to the point of bulging, filled with disbelief. "My Lord Duke, what... what did you say!!!"
