I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 508 - : 508. Use Goryeo as a test site
Chapter 508: 508. Use Goryeo as a test site
Lu Yao, with a thoughtful expression, slowly said:
“Using battle armor and mecha to fight head-on, with ordinary people in the rear coordinating, whether this strategy is actually effective can only be tested in real combat.”
Maintenance, ensuring logistics, and other aspects all need to be tested, and Goryeo is an excellent proving ground with just the right level of intensity.”
Li Pei was well-informed about the situation in Goryeo; she spoke fluently:
“Izumo brutally exploits Goryeo to the bone, treating their troops almost like beasts.
However, because of this, many Goryeons have taken the initiative to provide us with information.
...
Izumo has two divisions totaling 60,000 troops stationed there, plus about 100,000 imperial auxiliary forces.
In terms of high-end combat power, there are two division commanders at the No-Leak Realm, and at least four others at the Innate…”
Lu Yao sipped his fine wine and said, “Send the entire reorganized Imperial Fist Legion over there, give them a good workout!”
Lu Yao certainly didn’t want to play nanny; this was going to be a real test of combat readiness.
Furthermore… tens of thousands, millions of people can be driven by a combination of grace and might, how to mobilize an entire nation of hundreds of millions will also be answered through this war.
Li Pei nodded seriously: “Then your consort shall issue the mobilization order for combat!”
Slumped in his chair, Lu Yao tapped lightly on the backrest with his index finger, displaying the attitude of a hands-off boss:
“Do it well, and don’t neglect other affairs, like building railways, highways, schools, and armament factories…”
After rattling off a long list, Li Pei glanced over at him sideways: “Your consort sure is getting worn out being the Emperor…”
Liao Qe joked from the side: “You are the big milk cow used to command the world, moo moo~”
Li Pei, annoyed, came over to tear at her mouth. The latter struggled and resisted, with the two causing a commotion.
At that moment, Lu Yao stepped forward with a sweeping gesture, enveloping them: “Would the three heroines mind helping this young master test the strength of the ‘Flesh Realm’~”
Liao Ya hesitated: “Shouldn’t you consolidate your realm first…”
Li Pei giggled, “Showing off just after breaking through?”
Lu Yao’s True Qi surged outwards, forming an imposing aura: “You three have ganged up on me many times; I just can’t wait for revenge~”
~~~~~~~~~~
A few hours later, it was noon.
Lu Yao was the only sober person in the scene, having won a 1 vs 3 fight.
With three sisters of the Innate Realm as a reference, he had a good measure of the physical prowess in the No-Leak Realm.
“The strength and defense have no qualitative difference. However… the quality and quantity of True Qi are far superior!”
His original 11-tonne force, after the breakthrough, was around 13 tons, expected to grow to 15 tons.
The biggest difference between the two realms lay in True Qi.
The Innate Realm is like a household tap, with True Qi used only in critical moments; the No-Leak Realm, however, is like a hydrant, with every move enveloped in the might of True Qi!
In the recent battle, Lu Yao had indeed won by leveraging his True Qi.
Raging torrents washed over, and his opponents felt as if they had swallowed a red-hot iron tongs, scalding them into a series of miserable cries, their bodies unresponsive.
This kind of life energy could turn metal red-hot and make a person extremely excited and sensitive.
Even the most defiant Li Pei had lost consciousness, limp and unresponsive to prods, thoroughly defeated.
In doing so, Lu Yao had his perfect revenge while also testing his new realm, killing several birds with one stone.
With a splash, he got up and left.
Li Pei, sensing something, twitched slightly before slowly coming to with the help of her formidable will.
Watching her struggle to get up, Lu Yao said, “Won’t you rest a little longer?”
Li Pei rolled her charming eyes at him, “As if I have the leisure like you, Master Lu. War is upon us, and there are many things I need to manage. There’s no time for rest.”
She quickly dressed, while speaking, “Later, I still have to meet with Du Wenlan of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau to discuss the matter of manufacturing our own ammunition.”
Once the war began, the ammunition consumption for battle armor and mecha would reach astronomical figures, and it was essential to be self-sufficient. Li Pei had already considered this.
“Du Wenlan? It’s been a while since I’ve seen him. Back then, I gave him the technique for refining steel and the method for casting cannons, so there shouldn’t be much of a problem technically.”
Lu Yao felt it was fate that he had used advanced techniques to network with officials, never imagining it would ultimately be to his own benefit.
He bent down to help Li Pei with her shoes and stockings, softly saying, “Don’t overdo it. If there’s anything you can’t handle, just tell me directly.”
“You still need to focus on your cultivation~” Li Pei, enjoying her husband’s attentiveness, felt sweet inside, but the sweetness lasted no more than three seconds…
Glancing stealthily at the still dozing Liao Family Sisters, Lu Yao whispered, “You said before—after I break through, I would seek out Grandmaster Yu…”
At hearing this, Li Pei lifted her snowy feet and kicked him, her seductive phoenix eyes full of disdain:
“While I’m busy to the point of neglecting sleep and meals, all you can think about is that?”
Lu Yao touched his nose, showing an expression of a pig not fearing scalding water.
Li Pei smirked slyly, “Alright, I promised, but you’ll have to speak with my master yourself~”
Lu Yao’s face changed. “Ah?”
If he dared to make such a request to the cold Moon Fairy, he would definitely be riddled with holes.
Watching her husband get deflated, Li Pei hummed a tune and prettily arranged her hair in front of the mirror:
“I brought back a Secret Manual to Liao Ya’s place… Oh right~ you don’t know yet, her apprentice has made quite a name for herself~”
Lu Yao: “Liao Qe?”
“Just look at the newspaper and you’ll know~” Li Pei leaned in for a kiss, then she left.
~~~~~~~~~~
It was a fine day, and Lu Yao went to the pavilion, stabilizing and adapting to his realm while sunbathing and reading the newspaper.
The Western powers were still holding the “Lido Peace Conference.”
It was a marathon-like debating contest for competing interests, filled with deception and political intrigue.
Two countries might be competitors one second, and the next they would join forces to undercut another.
Since January, it had been more than two months of bickering over issues like whether to divide Jiade and the distribution of war reparations, with none of the countries willing to give in.
“The conference on the Blue Star side apparently lasted over five months…” Lu Yao was unsurprised; division of spoils among thieves was always this way.

But then he noticed something off!
This time around, amidst the argy-bargy of the conference, one agenda item was quickly passed—that was to completely blockade Rakshasa!
The Western powers deployed heavy troops along the line from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea, thoroughly isolating Rakshasa.
Yet compared to military precautions, this move looked more like the formation of a “quarantine belt”…
Lu Yao was puzzled, “Rakshasa hasn’t turned red, right? What’s happening there? Seems like we need to establish our own intelligence department, to avoid being completely in the dark.”
Previously, the Shun Dynasty had no intelligence agencies, just personal “sitting detectives” without any systematic structure and extremely inefficient.
Noting this, he decided to arrange for Li Pei to handle it later, and finally, Lu Yao found news about the “Asura Fairy.”
At that moment, Liao Qe came over with tea and snacks.
The young girl had skin as clear as crystal, soft and beautiful as jade, and was exceptionally well-behaved.
