The cost of using such a method was naturally losing the two eggs of the Guardian Beasts. The Guardian Beastsâ eggs were incredibly valuable, and the loss of the eggs could cause anyone to feel pain.
What Zhao Fu cared about was not these two eggs but the method those people had used to escape the human world. Among them were many enemies of Great Qin, such as Akhenaten, Si Ji, and Su Yan.
He had never thought that those people had long since prepared a path of escape for themselves. However, he should have expected this â after all, if Great Qin won, the entire human world would belong to Great Qin. They had no other choice but to escape the human world.
After hearing that those people had escaped, Zhao Fuâs good mood about finally unifying the human world was slightly ruined. He thought about it and asked, âWhere did those people escape to? Is it the Grassi world?â
Beside him, Li Si replied, âBack when Commander Bai Qi sensed the abnormal ripples, he immediately sent people to investigate. However, they sensed the danger and immediately closed the two doors and disappeared. We are not sure where they were transported to.
âThis Minister has also sent countless spies to the Grassi world to collect information, and we are quite sure that they are not in the Grassi world. This Minister then ordered some scholars to investigate the remnants from the magic formation, and they found that the doors use random teleportation.
âThese random teleportation doors can cross many worlds, and it is impossible to track them. They must be incredibly afraid of Great Qin finding them.â
Thinking about that, Zhao Fu let out a sigh of relief. If these people had gone to the Grassi people and revealed the things that had happened in the human world, Great Qin would be in a disadvantageous position and could even be in danger. Many of its plans could fail.
Even though they had escaped, luckily they had not been able to cause much trouble. Now, as the ruler of the human world, Zhao Fu did not place them in his eyes at all.
At that moment, Li Si once again spoke, saying, âYour Majesty, those who escaped were merely a very small minority. Most people were stopped by Great Qin, including the Buddhist Sect, School of Confucianism, School of Mohism, most of the Dynasty factions, and Great Tangâs Li family.â
Hearing that many people had been stopped, a trace of a smile appeared on Zhao Fuâs face. These people had dared to oppose Great Qin and cause Great Qin to suffer heavy losses. Almost 70% of the army was injured or dead, and they had lost 600 million soldiers and around 100 Wyverns.
Such a massive loss was a big blow to Great Qin, and this had been caused by these people. If they had all been able to escape, it would be simply too unjust.
Since they had been stopped, Zhao Fu wanted to properly punish them, so a smile appeared on his face. However, after hearing about Great Tangâs Li family, his smile died down, and a cold glimmer appeared in his eyes as he asked, âWhere are they?â
Li Si sensed the changes in Zhao Fu and replied earnestly, âThe Li family is one of Great Qinâs main targets, so when Great Tangâs army withdrew, Great Qinâs forces chased them down. When we reached their Legacy City, we found that they had already relocated their City and escaped, abandoning their countless soldiers and residents.
âGreat Qin quickly chased after them and were finally able to corner Great Tangâs Li family. Following this, they desperately resisted, but they were still taken captive by Great Qinâs soldiers.
âHowever, Great Tangâs Legatee, Li Baiqing, escaped, taking with him the Nation Armament and the Great Tang City. From the reports we have, it seems that he also stepped through one of the doors.â
Hearing that Li Baiqing had escaped with the Nation Armament and Great Tang City, Zhao Fu felt quite displeased.
Li Si immediately continued, âYour Majesty, out of everyone in the Li family, only he was able to escape; everyone else has been captured by Great Qin, including his woman, his father, and the Li familyâs old patriarch. None of them were able to escape, and they are being held in prison.â
Zhao Fu nodded, feeling a bit more pleased. Even though he did not want to admit it, his little brother his escaping with the Nation Armament and the Great Tang City would definitely bring trouble for Great Qin in the future. It was better to get rid of as many of these troubles as possible.
Li Si then cupped his hands said, âYour Majesty, Great Qin has also taken down the Great British Kingdom. Out of all of the Legatees, Tina Pendragon most likely received the greatest backlash and still has not awakened, and her life is in danger.
âWe have already arranged for her to have the best treatment. Would Your Majesty like to have her healed or allow her to die?â
âTina Pendragon?â Zhao Fu thought about everything that had happened, and he felt respect for this woman. If it wasnât for the fact that they stood on different sides, they might have been able to become friends.
During this final battle, not only did she lead the Western Continent, but she was also the most powerful and had the most Fate. Back when Zhao Fuâs three Emperorâs Stars had unleashed their might, countless cracks had appeared on Tina Pendragonâs Kingâs Star.
Compared to her, Babilon was not as lucky; his Kingâs Star had collapsed, and he had died from the backlash, leading to the Book of God falling into Great Qinâs hands.
âTry to save her!â Zhao Fu said to Li Si. Whether it was because of their relationship, internal affairs matters, or her innate value, she was worth saving.
Li Si responded in the affirmative before asking, âHow should we deal with the other Dynasty Legatees and the leaders of those factions? We captured 16 Dynasty Legatees and 150 or so Nation Legatees. There are also countless leaders of Sects and Schools.â
Zhao Fu did not reply and instead asked, âHave they surrendered or are they still resisting? Who views Great Qin with hatred and has committed the most crimes against Great Qin?â
Li Si was not well-equipped to answer these questions, as they did not have much information yet, so he could only give a rough answer. Some of these people were still quite resistant, while some of them had expressed their willingness to submit.
Zhao Fu showed no mercy and said, âBased on what I just asked you, make a list of people later. Those on the list may be executed without Our permission!â
Those on the list would be those who had resisted the most and harmed Great Qin the most. There was no need to keep such people, so they all had to die and there was no need for Zhao Fu to check the list.
âYes! This Minister understands,â Li Si replied before reporting to Zhao Fu about other matters. Most of these were minor matters, and some things had almost been forgotten by Zhao Fu.
This included the Heavenstone Cityâs City Lordâs son, Shi Wen. Back when Zhao Fu had killed his father, Shi Jian, he had escaped. He had not been able to escape Great Qin this time, and he had developed a faction to take revenge against Great Qin, which was quite laughable.
His faction had naturally been destroyed by Great Qin, and he had also been killed.
