s lips. This subtle and ambiguous touch brought immense stimulation to Li Chen."You are a princess of the Xian Dynasty, born with a golden spoon and extraordinary status. Though I'm an ordinary gentle...Chapter 1681: The Parade

"I am a woman from the Jin Kingdom's Jurchen people. We are a nation that grew up on horseback and conquered our lands riding horses. Even young children in our country learn to ride horses before they learn to walk. Our people are fierce and our soldiers are brave."

“This army of 300,000 is composed of the elite among the elites of my Jin nation. There are 60,000 infantry and 200,000 cavalry. The cavalry is divided into light cavalry and heavy cavalry, with a ratio of three light cavalry to one heavy cavalry. Each cavalryman is equipped with a spear, armor, and battle sword, all meticulously crafted by the skilled artisans of my Jin nation.”

As Huang Jitian introduced, Li Chen saw a line of soldiers standing on both sides of the road. They were fully armed, with helmets covering their heads except for their noses and eyes.

According to Huangji Tian's words, what Li Chen is seeing now should belong to heavy cavalry in Jin Guo.

Each of them held a standard-length lance, sixteen feet long, in their hands. Mounted on horseback, their eyes gleamed with intensity.

Those who could be chosen to welcome Li Chen like honor guards were naturally carefully selected, including every single one of them and the warhorses they rode.

These cavalrymen were roughly the same height, each with a powerful and sturdy build. Even their horses were similar in size. They stood side-by-side in two rows, giving the impression of formidable strength at a glance.

"Not bad at all," Li Chen nodded, saying sincerely.

Though lacking flowery language or extravagant praise, every word that comes from Li Chen's mouth is worth a thousand pieces of gold.

Huangji Tian smiled mysteriously and said, "Please come upstairs with me, Your Highness."

Li Chen, upon hearing this, followed Huangji Tian up the slope. Then, the view before him suddenly opened up.

Beneath the hillside, heavy snow continued to fall, blanketing the world in a pristine silver. Yet, even amidst this wintry scene, the imposing might of the three hundred thousand soldiers standing upon the land remained undimmed.

Li Chen looked around, and the entire world was packed with people and warhorses. Everyone rode straight on their horses, arranged in three large formations.

The first array is infantry.

The second square is composed of cavalry.

The third formation is the cavalry.

These heavy cavalry, while not as exaggerated as the one Li Chen had in the capital, excelled in their sheer numbers. Under such a vast number, even if Li Chen mobilized all of Qin's resources, he could not create a heavy cavalry force of this scale.

A full thirty thousand people were on parade, such a grand spectacle that one could hardly imagine it without experiencing it firsthand.

Li Chen stood with Huangji Tianyi on either side of the slope. Looking out, all they saw was the grandeur of heaven and earth.

If the battlefield is where a man belongs, then this sight alone is enough to ignite the fire and passion within any male.

"Boo hoo..."

The mournful horn sounded across the land.

Below, a full three hundred thousand soldiers simultaneously raised their weapons in hand.

A resounding and pleasing clatter of metal on metal filled the air. It was the distinctive sound of armor clashing against armor.

Neat and uniform.

"Welcome the inspection by His Royal Highness, Prince Huang of the Great Qin Empire!"

Thirty thousand people roared in unison, the sound waves trembling the earth. Li Chen could even feel the ground beneath his feet vibrating.

Li Chen took a deep breath, his heart skipping a beat.

If the purpose of Emperor Extreme Heaven's trip was to flex his muscles, then his objective has been achieved.

In Li Chen's eyes, this troop before him was no weaker than the Liao army's iron cavalry.

At this moment, Li Chen felt a tinge of envy.

If such a cavalry were one's own, then the world could have been subdued long ago.

Unfortunately, the Central Plains region is blessed with abundant resources and lacks nothing, except for truly excellent cavalry.behind closed doors.Li Chen waved his hand and said, "It's nothing.
