บท 282: Plans to expand the empire's territory

Wang Jian's aspirations extended far beyond the confines of the Everlasting Mystical Empire's territory.

While the empire's expanse was considerable, it wasn't enough to satisfy his grand ambitions. His hunger for more power and territory drove him forward.

However, he was well aware that achieving this goal required more than just sheer force. Wang Jian needed a substantial army of warriors who would be willing to fight alongside him against rival Empires.

Equally crucial was having a justifiable cause to wage war on neighboring Empires and expand his own realm's boundaries.

Wars held a deep impact on every facet of an Empire — its economy, politics, military strength, management, and legal structure.

Engaging in conflicts without legitimate reasons or solely for territorial expansion could lead to loss of respect from the citizens and harm the ruler's reputation.
