Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Completed the hidden side quest: Destroy the Japanese Empire. Reward: Complete Shipbuilding Manual. Includes beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Completed the hidden side quest: Establish a Commandery. Reward: One Wushuang Upgrade.]

Suo Chao nearly burst out laughing at the system's heavenly voice. He immediately used the Wushuang Upgrade Card, conquered the Wa Island, and established the Great Wu Kingdom.

Suo Chao's Wushuang range expands fivefold, reaching a 5-meter radius. His Wushuang effect is now divided into two circles: the outer circle, which is offensive and can damage enemies; the inner circle, which is controlling and can banish enemies.

Previously, a single activation of Wushuang could theoretically exile 3000 people to D. World or B. Medical World, but only 300 on the return trip. Now, the efficiency of the transmission has increased fivefold, and Suo Chao no longer needs to overdraw his body to activate Wushuang Sword Domain.

During these three days, Suo Chao had transported 10 Xiongnu and Xianbei soldiers, as well as Japanese men, to D. Captive World. The development of D. Captive World would continue, and these Japanese men would serve as laborers for farming and construction.

The purpose of doing so was to dilute the population of the Japanese island and further expand the population advantage of the three ethnic groups. Suo Chao wanted to reduce the Japanese to a minority and gradually disperse them to various places.

Suo Chao did so much just because he didn't want history to repeat itself. He activated his Wushuang, entered the D. captive world, and met with the Queen Himiko of the Wa Island.

"Your Majesty! Are you used to the life here?" Suo Chao asked.

"Hmph! Bad man. The hatred of destroying a country is irreconcilable!" I draw ten thousand circles to curse you.

"Your Majesty, being angry will make you age! Later, you will understand my painstaking efforts." Suo Chao did not want to explain so much, so he directly withdrew from the D. world.

At this moment, the portal opened, and Suo Chao handed the shipbuilding scroll to the ancestor Chi You.

"Ancestor Chi You! The road to maritime supremacy still depends on you. These are the drawings for shipbuilding." Suo Chao instructed.

"General, don't worry! I will definitely build the big ship in the blueprint." Chi You patted his chest and promised.

Suo Chao waved goodbye to the generals. He took Zhang Mei Niang's hand and turned to walk toward the gate of light. Zhang Jue and his wife watched their daughter leave, feeling very reluctant.

"Don't cry! My daughter will definitely have a bright future following the general." Zhang Jue patted Qi's shoulders with both hands and whispered to comfort her.

Stepping onto the portal in the light curtain, Suo Chao turned his head and looked at Zhang Mei Niang beside him, and said gently:

"Mei Niang, we are about to set off! From now on, you and I will call each other brother and sister." There was a hint of pampering and care in his voice.

Zhang Mei Niang raised her head slightly and looked at Suo Chao, her eyes flashing with trust and dependence. She nodded obediently and replied softly:

"Okay, brother." The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a sweet smile. Her heart was full of longing for the future and dependence on Suo Chao, as if as long as Suo Chao was by her side, any difficulties could be easily solved.

......

Wuzhangyuan.

The sky was thick with dark clouds, and the autumn wind was bleak, as if it was about to bring the entire world down. Raindrops as large as beans came pouring down, stinging painfully. Zhuge Liang stood in the rain, his body trembling slightly, his face filled with despair and unwillingness.

Zhuge's eyes were fixed on the distance. Sima Yi's army escaped, and his heart was filled with endless grief and indignation.

"Oh, God! Why are you so unkind to me?" He murmured to himself, with a hint of tears in his voice.

Zhuge Liang knew that this war was crucial for Shu Han. If Sima Yi could be defeated in this battle, Shu Han would have a chance to catch its breath. He could then seize the two states of Yong and Liang and then gradually conquer the rest of the world.

However, fate seemed to be against Zhuge Liang. Despite his best efforts to lure Sima Yi into Shangfang Valley and launch a fire attack, Sima Yi eventually escaped.

Raindrops streamed down his cheeks, mixing with his tears. He remembered the oath he had made, the trust and expectations placed in him by the late Emperor Liu Bei. Now, everything had been shattered; he had failed everyone.

Wang Ping repeatedly advised the Prime Minister to return to his tent to avoid the rain, but Zhuge Liang refused to go back. Kong Ming, who had experienced many ups and downs, was no longer as carefree as he used to be.

Wang Ping was helpless and stamped his feet anxiously. He knew that if this continued, the Prime Minister's health would definitely not be able to withstand it.

Looking at the retreating enemy troops, Kong Ming felt his strength gradually fading away. He knew that this might be the last battle of his life.

Even so, Kong Ming was not willing to give up easily. He was determined to protect Shu Han with his own life. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he would fight to the end.

Just when Zhuge Liang collapsed from exhaustion, Suo Chao and Zhang Meiniang walked out of the light gate.

Suo Chao helped the unconscious Kong Ming to his feet. Blessed by the Wushuang Domain, the three of them were impervious to the rain. However, the sight of the sword energy surging across the sky stunned Wang Ping.

"The Prime Minister's life is over!" Wang Ping said in horror upon seeing this.

"Who are you? Don't harm my prime minister's life!" Wang Ping drew his sword and shouted loudly.

At that moment, Liao Hua and his troops, like a crimson torrent, closed in from all sides. Their weapons, flashing with cold light, formed an impenetrable circle. Suo Chao and Zhang Mei Niang were trapped in the middle, like trapped beasts.

Suo Chao looked around, only to see the Shu soldiers around him with sharp eyes, full of hostility. Their armor flashed coldly, and the spears in their hands were like a dense forest, making him feel endless pressure.

Suo Chao couldn't help but sigh:

"Prime Minister Zhuge's prestige within the Shu army is simply beyond imagination!"

At this moment, Zhang Mei Niang pouted her cute little mouth and said in a tender and clear childish voice:

"Hmph, my brother will never hurt your prime minister! My brother is an outstanding medical skill and unparalleled fighting power! All of you are just small fry!" Zhang Meiniang put her hands on her hips, glaring at the Shu soldiers who surrounded her, her eyes full of determination and confidence.

At this tense moment, Suo Chao launched the "know yourself and know the enemy" strategy. He quickly learned the information about the Shu generals ahead, and it turned out that they were Liao Hua and Wang Ping!

"General Wang Ping, General Liao Hua. I have come here on the mandate of heaven to rescue Prime Minister Zhuge." Suo Chao said as he used the water control technique to disperse the rain clouds in the area.

After Master Xuannv's instruction, he had mastered the art of water control. Within a small area, he could easily move the water of rivers and draw rain clouds from the sky. The Shu army was stunned by this scene, and their hostility slightly diminished.

"Gods!" exclaimed the Shu army.

Suo Chao explained his purpose to the two generals and told them all about Prime Minister Zhuge's illness. Wang Ping and Liao Hua listened carefully and did not dare to be careless.

The Shu army slowly entered the camp, demoralized and exhausted. Inside the tents, the soldiers silently cleaned up the mess, their faces filled with disappointment and frustration.

The two generals escorting Prime Minister Zhuge Liang were filled with heavy hearts, knowing full well the heavy blow the Battle of Shangfang Valley had dealt to the Shu army. Prime Minister Zhuge Liang lay unconscious in his tent.
