Become a king right from the start, beginning with receiving rewards from all the heavens.

The first day of the great battle between the Alliance and the Great Xia ended almost simultaneously on three separate battlefields.

The other two locations did not see any Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators perish; only the Great Yu region suffered the most severe losses.

The results of the first day of the war were quickly sent to the palace.

At this moment, in the government affairs hall, a high-ranking military officer reported on the results of the battle at the front.

"Your Majesty, on the three battlefields, the alliance on the northern side of Dayu has lost a Dragon Transformation Realm expert."

"A young patriarch of the royal family at the Grandmaster level."

"The Alliance army suffered losses of around ten million."

"Our army suffered more than 70,000 casualties."

"This is a great victory, an unprecedented achievement in history."

The general who was giving the report was still unable to calm his excited emotions.

The same applies to everyone else in the hall.

Because these people had all learned about the major battles in the early days of the Great Xia Dynasty.

In every major battle at that time, whether it was against the demon race or other overlords.

Each time, the casualty figures reach hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Never before have we achieved such a glorious victory.

...

"With the Great Wall of Fortune and Prosperity existing, it would be strange if we couldn't achieve such a great victory."

"However, today the enemy was unfamiliar with the Great Wall and suffered a loss they couldn't speak of."

"It's estimated that there won't be such a high casualty ratio in the future."

Xia Zhaoyan understood the situation at the front lines; if the enemy had been well-prepared, there wouldn't have been so many casualties.

To be honest, in just one day, the enemy suffered so many losses on the North Daewoo battlefield alone.

It certainly exceeded his expectations.

At this point, Zhang Juzheng nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty is right."

"I estimate that the war will pause for a few days, and the enemy will need to make various preparations."

After saying that, he looked at the military general who was reporting.

"General Li, what are the casualties on both sides at the other two battlefields?"

...

"On the eastern side, where the Bu Tian Sect is in charge, the enemy has suffered approximately eight million casualties."

"Our army suffered more than 50,000 casualties."

"In the battlefield dominated by the Southeast Wilderness, the enemy suffered approximately ten million casualties."

"Our casualties were less than 80,000."

...

"That means the Alliance suffered nearly 30 million casualties across the three battlefields combined."

"On the first day alone, the alliance lost one-tenth of its main force."

"Such a victory should be immediately reported to me throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty and even the Wilderness."

"The military and the cabinet will discuss and select three outstanding individuals from the battlefield, whom I intend to reward."

Xia Zhaoyan knew that even without bestowing any rewards, his reputation would still attract a large number of people willing to go to the battlefield.

But as an emperor, he knew how to win the hearts and minds of the people.

At this point, Zhang Juzheng made a suggestion.

"Your Majesty, I believe that today's war has great historical significance."

"I suggest selecting a few outstanding individuals from the lower and middle ranks and bestowing upon them titles!"

The moment the words "conferring a title" were uttered, the hall fell silent.

Especially these local officials, they lowered their heads and didn't dare to breathe.

Yu Guang glanced at the Left Prime Minister in shock, and sighed inwardly.

Only His Majesty's trusted confidants would dare to make such a suggestion.

If it were someone like me with the courage, I wouldn't dare to utter the words "grant a title."

How long has it been since His Majesty dealt with the nobility?

Although everyone was quiet at this moment, the locals were filled with anticipation.

After all, every official wants to be granted a noble title.

Even if it's not hereditary but just a lifelong title, that would be fine.

The titles of nobility in the Great Xia Dynasty are divided into two types: one is hereditary titles, which can be passed down from generation to generation.

Another type is a lifelong title, which is reserved for the person who holds the title and whose descendants have no right to inherit it.

Xia Zhaoyan did not abolish the system of nobility, after all, a system that has been passed down for tens of millions of years in Tianhuang must have its own usefulness.

However, based on this, Xia Zhaoyan created another category of hereditary titles.

That's a hereditary system that's downgraded!

In other words, the descendants of those who are granted a title can inherit the title, but they must be of a lower rank.

Xia Zhaoyan tapped the armrest of the chair lightly with his fingers.

"The Left Prime Minister is right. Today's war has profound historical significance."

"He should be rewarded."

"I hereby grant five lifetime viscounts and twenty lifetime baronies."

In the past, today's military achievements alone would have been enough to create dozens of hereditary nobles.

There must be marquises and dukes among them.

But now, Xia Zhaoyan has only offered twenty-five spots, and they are all for viscounts and barons.

Moreover, they were all lifelong titles.

This shows how strictly he controlled the titles of nobility.

In Xia Zhaoyan's heart, the noble lord was someone who truly shared the glory and ruin of the imperial court.

Only through strict selection and control can we prevent the proliferation of titles in the Great Xia Dynasty, which led to nobles becoming less loyal to the court and the royal family, as was the case in the past.

...

The next day, news of the border battle's outcome spread throughout the Great Xia.

For a time, excitement and excitement filled the entire Great Xia.

Now, people can finally rest assured.

...

"Haha, our Great Wall on the border is like an insurmountable barrier, a perpetual nightmare for the enemy."

...

"They want to attack Great Xia? They can go eat shit!"

...

"Thirty million casualties are enough for the league to face reality!"

This news not only spread throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, but also began to spread to other places.

Today, high-ranking officials from the three battlefields of yesterday have gathered in the Daewoo Royal Family.

The atmosphere in the main hall was quiet, and there wasn't much sadness.

As I said before, no matter how many ordinary soldiers and low-level cultivators die, it will not cause them the slightest sadness.

"Gentlemen, this battle looks like it's going to be very difficult."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to delay the Great Xia's objectives in this way."

An elder of the Daewoo royal family summarized the situation.

Anyone with eyes can see it, even the high-ranking members of the demon race can see it.

Therefore, after he finished speaking, everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to the Dragon Transformation Realm of the Bu Tian Sect.

The meaning in everyone's eyes was clear: you were the ones who represented the Heavenly Dao in uniting with us.

What should we do now?

We can't just send people to their deaths for nothing!

...

"The Great Wall on the border of the Great Xia Dynasty seems to be a powerful magical artifact."

"It's as difficult as an insurmountable chasm; even if ordinary soldiers have siege equipment, it's of no use."

"I think we should mobilize our army of cultivators!"

"But the war must not end halfway. I refuse to believe that deploying a large army of cultivators cannot achieve results."

For every power, whether it's a sect or a dynasty, the army of cultivators is the true foundation.

Ordinary soldiers are just cannon fodder!

Especially for powerful regimes like imperial dynasties, their army of cultivators is larger than that of sects.

Moreover, the supply is virtually endless; as long as the dynasty exists, there will be an inexhaustible army of cultivators.

With such a large population, how many cultivators are born every year!

For example, a portion of this army of 300 million consisted of cultivators.

...

"That's the only way. Let's rest for a few days."

"Let's take this opportunity to build up our army of cultivators."

The Dragon Transformation Realm expert of the Great Yu Royal Family agreed.

Of all the forces here, he was the one who least wanted the war to end.

Because Da Yu understood that Da Xia would attack him sooner or later.
