The royal capital was busy preparing for war.
First, explorers were sent to the place where the undead were located and they found them scattered across the southern plains.
In the meeting room of the Supreme General, Yan was sitting on his assigned chair, and in front of him was a table with a wooden design representing a speech map with all its details. This world consists of one continent ruled by the (Long) Empire, and the entire world is subject to it. The empire itself consists of four regions, northwest, southeast, and this is very similar to the division of his previous world, but the difference is that the ones who rule his previous world are nine countries that control different areas of the continent that was called by humans the (Continent of Spirits), while this world is called the empire or the (Long) world, and this shows the influence of this family on the world that Yan is currently in. Yan was thinking about how to fight these creatures. It had been more than a week since he entered this world. At first, he thought that if he slept well, he would return to his world, but that did not happen. Instead of becoming obsessed with returning, he decided to do what he had to do, so he started studying books and getting to know the world he was in more and more. He also completed his training in martial arts and started making magical swords through the art of engraving. He also trained a lot on swords, as the fighting style he found in the library was a legendary art that was comprehensive in everything. If Qi was added to it, it would become completely invincible. He also started doing his duties as an emperor, and the task he postponed was to make an heir as soon as possible. But Yan was thinking about the ethics of doing it with someone else, especially since he was from another world. What if he had a boy and returned to his world? What would be the fate of the child? But the real reason was that he was shy and had never approached a girl in his life. But that morning, he was put in front of a fait accompli and they told him that a concubine would come to the boudoir that night, and after that, they left. The one who ordered them to do this was the Prime Minister because there were some rumors about the Emperor's weakness, and this is understandable. From someone who couldn't sleep unless he was on the bed of three concubines to someone who wouldn't even come near a concubine, there would certainly be a lot of talk if that happened.
In the meeting hall, the Minister of War, the Supreme General and also the Grand Chancellor were preparing the plan of attack. The plan of attack was based on building a large castle with high walls and luring the undead into this castle and fighting them there. They would trap them in a pincer from the sides and kill them by long-range weapons such as mounted archers, regular archers and weapons such as catapults of various types and also building barriers of pointed stakes to prevent them from advancing. For Yan, the plan was very unclear. The undead were sane and did not feel pain. The only thing they cared about was eating human flesh. They reproduced by the undead biting a person, which made the person who was bitten also undead. After that, it spread from one person to another. The matter had started in one of the southern villages and then spread to the three cities. Their number was estimated at three million undead and they were increasing every day because of their attacks on the humans in front of them. They were stopped after the villages and cities were evacuated of their inhabitants and the citizens were transferred to the central plains and to the capital specifically, where it was filled to the brim with displaced people. The undead sense humans from a distance of fifty meters, and if they do not find them, they begin to act completely randomly.
The current army of the empire exceeds one million fighters in addition to another million volunteers who want to get rid of this matter. Everyone thought for some time about building a wall that would hold the undead in a certain place and protect humans from them, but they did not have the tools, time, or even a place that would allow them to implement this plan, especially since the place where the undead are located is the south, which is considered the most fertile place in the entire empire.
"Your Majesty, the site that has been chosen is a place near the south, one day and one night away from the city of Shisuan. The place is high and suitable for building the castle, but the problem is in case the undead arrive before we finish building the castle completely," said the Minister of War.
"It doesn't matter to finish the castle completely. We want a long wall that prevents the dead from advancing, so we don't need more than one strong wall. We can also widen and strengthen the wall instead of a whole castle. That is, we make a wall in the shape of a semicircle, and this wall is bigger and wider than the previous wall. We then set up the catapult and place the archers on top of it, and the rest of the soldiers surround the area and kill the living dead." The advisor bowed when he finished presenting his proposal.
Yan liked this suggestion, as the place is flat plains interspersed with some hills, fighting an army of the undead is a real hell. Unlike other armies, they are not affected by morale or military supplies, nor are they affected by the death of their comrades or the death of their leaders. They care about eating the corpses of enemies no matter what. According to these specifications, this army is invincible, but humans discovered their greatest weakness, which is cutting off their heads, so they became less scary and terrifying. Listen to the discussions of the rest of the advisors, ministers and leaders, but they are mostly just suggestions to develop some things. In the end, Yan ordered them to prepare for the campaign. The meeting had decided to build a wall instead of a castle, and also many, many trees would be cut down to make arrows of various shapes and types. Arrows, spears, and medium- and long-range weapons would be the official weapons of the army in this war, and swords would be used only in dangerous cases, that is, when the undead approach the soldier at zero degrees, where it is necessary to use close-range and medium-range weapons. This is because any soldier in this war is a great asset, and the empire is not prepared to lose any of its precious wealth.
After an hour, the meeting ended and Yan was very tired due to the harsh routine that he was practicing on this weak body. When he returned to his private suite, he ordered the maids to prepare his private bathroom for him to take a bath. Yan went to the bathroom after forgetting what was going to happen today. He took a good bath in his private bathroom until he felt like he was born again. The water was nice and made a person wish to become an aquatic animal so that he could stay in this nice bathroom all the time. When he finished taking a bath, he went to his room and slept on the bed. The room was very beautiful and decorated with the finest types of decorations and decorations. The bed was worthy of being a private bed for an emperor. When he slept the first night in this room, he was amazed by it, but when he started his routine, he began to not look at the wonderful things around him (including women). While looking at the ceiling of the room and looking at the mirror made of gold, there was a knock on the door. "Come in," Yan said calmly. Moments later, three girls entered. One of them was holding a harp in her hand, the other was holding a flute, and the third was the girl he had seen for the first time, the owner of Emerald eyes and black hair.
Her name was
"Hee Sun, come in." Yan said. Hee Sun was the empress and his wife, but because of his position as emperor, he had many concubines. Despite her beauty, he never loved her. The emperor had married her as a political marriage. She was the only daughter of the supreme general, and she was also well-known and loved by the people, so the emperor married her after the advice of the prime minister. Hee Sun hated the emperor. She had a strong conscience and hated his evil actions. There was another reason, which was that she was still a virgin. Although she had been married for four years, the emperor had left her even on the wedding night and went to a concubine he preferred at that time. Today, she came to make fun of him after news spread about his sexual weakness. She wanted to take revenge on him, but when she entered the devil's den, she found a docile lamb who pretended to be innocent and looked at her with eyes of admiration. She had seen these eyes when she came to his room a week ago, and on that day, she found him in a miserable state unbecoming of an emperor, which made her certain that he did not deserve to sit on the throne. If it were not for… The undead were the most important enemy to eliminate this incompetent emperor in less than an hour.
When she entered, she walked towards Yan and took out a bottle of alcohol from somewhere. She was wearing white clothes with hand-embroidered purple flowers. She was absolutely beautiful in every sense of the word. Yan's face was red with the emotions stirring inside her. "Your Majesty, take this wonderful drink from my hand. I made it myself." He Sun said softly. She handed the bottle to him, then stepped back and pointed to the maids with her hand. The music began. "Your Majesty, I will dance this dance. I hope you like it." She started dancing. It was clear that she had not learned how to dance well. Her dancing was modest at best, but Yan was enjoying it. Unlike the professional dancer who performed the movements to the letter, this girl was trying to adjust her body to the rhythm with all seriousness. Yan drank the alcohol from the bottle. He was enjoying this dance. To Yan, she was very cute. Yan learned her name on the same day he went to the library. He had asked the servant who was accompanying him about her name. "Servant, what is this girl's name?" The servant looked at him with a look of surprise, she was the Empress, his wife, and now he was asking her name, "She is... Mrs.." he said, but Yan stopped him and said, "Just answer the question, what is her name, I'm not asking for much, am I?" The servant answered after bowing, "He Sun."
Yan didn't know that she was his wife because Yan didn't ask directly. As for Hee Sun, she was feeling nervous while dancing. She thought that he would do something stupid after drinking alcohol, and then make one of the maids sleep with him and expose his sexual weakness, but on the contrary, he was sitting in his place looking at her with strange looks, she had not encountered anyone looking at her with lustful looks for a long time. She was cursing Yan in her heart and saying, "Damn this perverted drunkard, he drinks from a bottle like the beggars do on the streets." Her face was red with shyness, and at that moment the music stopped and she heard voices. She was closing her eyes at that moment so as not to look at him, but at this time she felt something warm on her lips. Yan was kissing her intimately. He signaled to the maids to stop playing and get out of the bed, and then he carried Hee Sun and put her on the bed. She was still closing her eyes tightly. Yan smiled at this situation. In fact, even Yan was feeling embarrassed by his actions, but Hee Sun's beauty and the alcohol in his head made him do the things he dreamed of.
