Chapter 541: Chapter 37 Peter Has Arrived

"At the end of the 16th century, after conquering the Khanate, the Rakshasa Empire began its expansion eastward from here," said the man standing beside him. "The combined water and land transport method ferried batches of colonizers to the Far East, and the emergence of each new settlement represented a further expansion of the empire's territory."

"It took nearly a century to conquer the entirety of Eastern Siberia. But do you know how long it took the Rakshasas to lose this land? Merely three months."

"Peter, it's the Tsar who expands territory that is empowered. Calling oneself 'Great Emperor' without being able to conquer new land, we would only call him a 'clown'."

The tall Peter remained noncommittal, merely asking indifferently:

"On my way here, I have already killed all the Transcendents who dared to stand in my way. Isn't that conquest?"
