The year is 1147.
It has been five years since Yue Fei’s death. The Song court remains confined to the south, and Qin Hui still holds power.
That year, Wanyan Wushu was appointed Grand Preceptor, placed in charge of the Three Departments, and made supreme commander, giving him sole control of the Jin Empire’s military and government.
That year, the protagonist of the next era was still struggling through a haze of confusion.
That same year, Kong Zhao arrives with superhuman strength. He acts in accordance with Heaven’s will, battles across the land, and then sends his armies to war across the world, launching a Chinese expedition to conquer the world.
And he is not alone in this era.
On the islands of Japan, the decisive battle between the Taira and Minamoto clans will shape the islands’ fate for a thousand years.
In Korea, the Goryeo dynasty, ruled by the Wang clan and favoring scholars over warriors, will eventually reap what it has sown.
At the other end of the world, the three Crusades plunge Europe and Central Asia into an age of turmoil. Richard, the Plantagenet King of England known as “the Lionheart”; Philip II, King of France, known as “the Fox”; Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor, known as “Barbarossa”; and Saladin, the “Scourge of God,” are all writing their own legends.
When the warships carrying Kong Zhao reach the shores of Europe, how will they face the mightiest weapon humanity has ever known?
I thought I was really like Li Yuanba, who could kill a million people in half a day. Why are you talking to me about numerical values?
