Chapter 481: Borrowing Soldiers
The king of the Qinhuang Kingdom sat in his study with a book in hand as he read it with interest. The sounds of Jian Chen entering the room startled him, causing him to turn his eyes away from his book. When he saw that it was Jian Chen that had disturbed him, he had a startled look on his face. Jian Chen's sudden arrival was not something he had expected.
Slowly putting down the book in his hand, the king smiled, "I hadn't imagined that the Imperial Protector would come pay me visit, please take a seat."
Jian Chen sat down right in front of the king with a slightly surprised look. "Despite it only being several days since I last saw your Majesty, his Highness still looks as well as ever. Living to the age of 500 will be of no problem."
Laughing, the king replied. "As expected, I cannot hide anything from the Imperial Protector. Several days back, I used some heavenly resources and made a breakthrough with the help of a royal ancestor. Although I became stronger, it is still a far ways away from the Imperial Protector."
The two sides began to talk for a little before Jian Chen finally spoke what was on his mind. "Your Majesty, in truth, I came back for an important manner that requires the help of the Qinhuang Kingdom."
The king immediately realized that it had to be serious if Jian Chen would come running all the way back. Growing grim, he spoke, "Speak what you need then. You are the Imperial Protector of our Qinhuang Kingdom. With your status as such, whatever your issue is is an issue of our Qinhuang Kingdom too."
"I wish for an army division. A division of the elites." Jian Chen spoke.
"A single division of the army? What for? Is there a war happening?" The king asked with surprise.
Jian Chen nodded, "Correct, there will be war." Afterward, Jian Chen explained just what had happened in the Gesun Kingdom, much to the king's surprise. When he spoke of the destruction that had happened to his clan, the king carried a murderous air to him.
After hearing Jian Chen's narration of the story, the king's face had an angry tint to it. Exploding with fury, he spoke, "How preposterous. This Heavenly Eagle Kingdom has been far too savage. Do they dare treat the Imperial Protector of the Qinhuang Kingdom as if he was nothing?"
"Your Majesty, I must destroy the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. Thus, I require an elite division of soldiers and the use of the Space Gate to send them to the Gesun Kingdom. I will upfront the costs of the monster cores." Jian Chen spoke.
Hearing this, the king hesitated for a moment, "Jian Chen, your authority allows you to command a division of a million at will without needing to report to anyone. However, we should talk about this matter once more tomorrow."
"That is fine, I will await his Majesty tomorrow." Jian Chen didn't mince any words and left straight away.
Some time after Jian Chen had left, the king sat there with his eyebrows narrowed together deep in thought. Then, after putting his book back into its original spot, he left the study.
After Jian Chen left the king's study, he left for the Qin Heaven Palace. From far away, Jian Chen could already see several guards standing right by the palace as if they were stone.
The Qin Heaven Palace belonged Jian Chen since he was an Imperial Protector. Although he wasn't there, the guards wouldn't slack off. Day and night, multiple guards could be seen stationed there and many more would patrol the area during the daytime.
"We pay our respects to the Imperial Protector!"
Naturally, when Jian Chen came walking into the Qin Heaven Palace, all of the guards there knelt down in subservience. With the tiger cub in hand, Jian Chen strode into the palace. The guards opened the palace doors for him, so he wouldn't have to do so himself, before gingerly closing it after he entered.
