The Lord of Chaos City, the Founder of the Giant Axe, the Lord of Darkness, the True God Peng Gong, and even the Primordial Ancestor who had just emerged from seclusion and whose aura had already reached the limit of the Eternal True God and was only one step away from the Chaos Realm, were all summoned by the stars.
As for the Primordial Ancestor, he had already broken through to the level of Chaos Ruler.
A hint of doubt lingered on everyone's faces, wondering why the king had suddenly summoned them. Everything was peaceful within the kingdom, and nothing major had occurred.
Xingchen sat in the main seat, his expression calm. He glanced at the crowd below and slowly said, "I have summoned you all here because there is something that needs to be arranged in advance."
Everyone's expressions tightened, and they listened respectfully.
"Effective immediately, mobilize 30% of the nation's standing army, under the command of Star Hub, and assemble them on the border of 'Northern Underworld State' which borders the Food Kingdom. At the same time, dispatch the most elite intelligence personnel to closely monitor the movements of all important strongholds and resource stars within the Food Kingdom, especially the troop movements around its core territory."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was shocked!
Mobilize the army? Assemble at the border? Monitor the food kingdom?
The Lord of Chaos City couldn't help but step forward, asking in confusion, "Your Majesty, are you... going to war with the Food Kingdom?"
His concerns are justified.
Although the Star Kingdom is strong, its high-end combat power mainly relies on Star and Mu Qing.
Although Luo Feng has become the second ruler of the kingdom, he is still a newcomer to the God King realm. The Food Kingdom, on the other hand, has five veteran God Kings, among whom the Heavenly Kun Kingdom ruler is a powerful figure at the second level of the God King realm, with a profound foundation.
Initiating a war carries extremely high risks.
Giant Axe, Darkness, and the others also wore solemn expressions, clearly sharing the same concerns. Only the Primal Ancestor's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something.
Xingchen looked at the worried crowd below, but a mysterious smile appeared on his face. He gently shook his head: "It is not that we want to start a war."
He paused, his tone calm yet earth-shattering: "It's Luo Feng. He just sent me a message. Today, he will go to the Food Kingdom alone to settle the blood feud with those three kings."
Go alone? To settle a blood feud?
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, almost thinking they had misheard!
Luo Feng is going to take on three God-Kings from the Food Kingdom all by himself? Or maybe even five?
"Your Majesty! This is absolutely unacceptable!"
The founder of the giant axe, being the most impatient, quickly replied.
"Although Luo Feng is exceptionally talented, he has only been cultivating for a short time. The rulers of those food kingdoms are all formidable opponents, and they also have the advantage of terrain... Wouldn't it be risking his life for him to go alone? We should go and meet him immediately!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! Luo Feng is the hope of our human race and the second ruler of our nation. He must not be lost!"
The Lord of Chaos City also eagerly echoed this sentiment.
Xingchen raised his hand and pressed it down slightly, signaling everyone to calm down. His smile remained composed: "You all have so little faith in Luo Feng?"
Everyone was startled.
Xingchen's gaze swept over them, and he slowly said, "A hundred epochs ago, when he first entered the God King realm, he was able to force Tiankun to retreat. Now, a hundred epochs later, he has officially entered the second level of the God King realm. As for his strength... even I find it difficult to fully estimate its extent."
He did not reveal that Luo Feng possessed the trump card of the supreme will technique, "Lieyuan Technique," which was Luo Feng's secret.
However, the absolute confidence he expressed in Luo Feng resonated with everyone present.
"But... even if Luo Feng wins, the Food Kingdom still has five rulers. If they were to besiege it..."
Peng Gongzhen was still somewhat worried.
Xingchen shook his head, his tone resolute: "He won't fight a battle he's not confident of winning. Since he dares to go, he must be certain of victory. Even if he can't achieve complete success, at least those three rulers who have a direct blood feud with him will surely die."
He stood up, his gaze seemingly piercing through the temple to see the vast, boundless territory about to change hands: "I ordered you to mobilize your legions not to go to war, but... to prepare for takeover."
"take over?"
Everyone was stunned.
"good."
The stars nodded.
"Once the three core rulers of the Food Kingdom fall, their forces will inevitably disintegrate, and their vast territory will become a no-man's land. At that time, heroes will rise up, and various forces will flock to seize territory and resources. Our Star Kingdom, being in a favorable position, how can we stand by and watch this piece of meat fall into the mouths of others?"
His words carried an unwavering determination: "Those territories, resource stars, populations... will all be the foundation for the future development of our human race! Now we must prepare in advance so that once the opportunity arises, we can quickly take over and maximize the conversion of our gains into tangible benefits!"
After hearing Xingchen's explanation, everyone suddenly understood, but the shock in their hearts did not diminish at all.
How could the king have such absolute confidence in Luo Feng? He firmly believes that Luo Feng can single-handedly overthrow an ancient kingdom with five god-kings?
This...this is simply beyond their wildest imagination!
However, looking at Xingchen's calm yet majestic gaze, and recalling the countless miracles Luo Feng had created in the past, the doubts in everyone's hearts were gradually replaced by an unbelievable excitement and anticipation.
Could it be... that Luo Feng has really become so powerful?
"Master."
Xingchen looked at the progenitor.
"You are meticulous and thoughtful. You will assist Star Hub in the overall planning of this takeover. Chaos, Giant Axe, Darkness, and Engineer Peng, you will each perform your duties and cooperate in the operation."
"Yes! Lord!"
Suppressing the turmoil in their hearts, everyone accepted the order in unison, their eyes already blazing with fire.
If... if Luo Feng could really do it...
Then, the era of the rise of humanity and the dominance of the Star Kingdom will come!
Xingchen watched the departing figures of the crowd, then sat back on his throne, his gaze once more fixed on the direction of the Food Kingdom. He murmured to himself, a murmur only he could hear: "The Elemental Technique... the Supreme Rule... Luo Feng, let your master see just how far you can wield this power."
He did not go to oversee the operation himself, because he believed that Luo Feng did not need his help.
The Lord of Chaos City, the Primordial Ancestor, and others accepted the order and began to mobilize forces and set up defenses in earnest.
Xingchen remained seated on the throne, his gaze seemingly piercing through endless time and space, silently watching the direction of the Food Kingdom.
Not much time had passed.
For the God-King, it might have been just a few breaths, but for the Stars and the high-ranking officials of the kingdom who were constantly watching the battle, it felt like an eternity.
Sudden--
Buzz! ! ! !
An extremely terrifying energy fluctuation, which could be clearly perceived even across endlessly distant territories, erupted suddenly from the very core of the Food Kingdom's territory, like the Big Bang at the beginning of the universe!
The fluctuations were so intense that they even affected the stability of the laws of many surrounding countries, causing countless stars to sway and the void to ripple like towering waves!
"coming!"
Xingchen's eyes suddenly lit up, like two miniature stars, staring intently in that direction.
Almost the instant that destructive energy fluctuation reached its peak—
call out!call out!
Two disheveled and exhausted individuals fled hastily from the core area of the Food Kingdom, turning their backs and flying desperately in two different directions away from the Food Kingdom!
Chapter 371 Annexing the Food Kingdom
They were clearly terrified by Luo Feng's thunderous and terrifying methods in killing his three major enemies. They dared not linger for even a moment, and they didn't even care about their old stronghold or their foundation. They only hoped to escape from that evil star as far as possible and save their lives.
Xingchen watched them disappear into the distance with indifferent eyes, neither stopping them nor ordering a pursuit.
"I guess you know each other."
He snorted coldly to himself. He knew Luo Feng's temperament; he was clear about right and wrong. Since these two had not participated in the massacre of the Jin Kingdom lineage back then, Luo Feng would not exterminate them, and he naturally wouldn't bother with such a thing.
Now that the three core rulers of the Food Kingdom have been killed, the remaining two stray dogs are no longer a threat and cannot cause any trouble.
His attention was instantly drawn to the Food Kingdom's territory, which was now leaderless and in complete chaos!
"Star Hub!"
The voice of the stars resounded directly in the consciousness of the Star Hub, which was in charge of the legion's command.
"My subordinate is here!"
Xing Shu responded immediately, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.
He had clearly sensed the terrifying fluctuations and the escape of the two God-Kings. At this moment, he was filled with admiration for the King's foresight and the terrifying strength of King Luo Feng.
"As planned, the entire army shall launch an attack!"
The star's command was concise and powerful.
"Take over all important strongholds, resource stars, and transportation hubs of the Food Kingdom as quickly as possible! Anyone who resists must be killed on the spot without prior authorization! Report any formidable enemies that are difficult to deal with immediately!"
"Yes! Lord!"
Xing Shu loudly accepted the order.
The Star Kingdom's army, which had long been assembled and waiting on the border of Beiming Prefecture, surged into the territory of the Food Kingdom in an instant, splitting into several routes like a floodgate opened!
At the same time, Xingchen's voice also rang in the minds of Chaos City Lord, Primordial Ancestor, and others: "Teacher, Grandmaster, activate all pre-placed intelligence networks and spies, guide the army, stabilize all parties, restore order as soon as possible, and take over all resource vaults!"
"Yes!"
The Chaos City Lord and the Primordial Ancestor immediately responded. They had been preparing for a long time, and orders were quickly issued through secret channels.
The entire Star Kingdom's massive war machine instantly sprang into operation at high efficiency!
Within the territory of the Food Kingdom, chaos had already broken out.
The news of the three kings' instantaneous demise and the other two kings' hasty escape spread like wildfire!
The generals, princes, and family forces who remained behind were all dumbfounded and plunged into great panic and confusion!
Some tried to put up a stubborn resistance, organizing their forces to try and stop the Star Kingdom's army, but in the face of the Star Kingdom's fierce, well-equipped, and high-spirited legion, their resistance was as fragile as paper and was crushed in an instant!
The Star Legion strictly enforced orders, showing no mercy and bloody suppression to those who dared to resist!
Some, however, changed their allegiance depending on the wind, attempting to surrender to the Star Legion in exchange for survival or even wealth.
The Star Kingdom did not reject these surrenderers. The Chaos City Lord and the Primordial Ancestor sent people to quickly take over, reorganize, and appease them, using them to stabilize local order as soon as possible.
More often than not, chaos ensues, with people scrambling for resources, fighting amongst themselves, and even internal strife breaking out.
The entire territory of the Food Kingdom was engulfed in flames of war, but it was also swept away and taken over by the Star Kingdom's army at an astonishing speed.
Stars reign supreme at the heart of the nation, their divine senses covering vast territories, giving them macroscopic control over the entire takeover process.
Occasionally, when an ancient formation hidden in the Food Kingdom erupts, or when a Chaos Overlord in seclusion attempts to cause trouble, he can easily suppress and annihilate it with a thought from afar, clearing obstacles for the army.
