Chapter 572: 572
“A bunch of useless idiots…” Lin Qingtian slammed his palm down . The ten-thousand-year sandalwood table in the office shattered . Lin Qingtian turned around and looked at the person bowing before him, “What did Wei Wuji say?”
“General Wei brought the army to Chi Province, so he would only reach Gan Province at the end of the fourth lunar month . General Wei said that he would think of a way to find Yan Liqiang after he arrives at Gan Province!” the person answered carefully .
“Find? How?! Mount Azure Dragon is that huge . Even if he spreads the entire army over Mount Azure Dragon, he wouldn’t be able to find Yan Liqiang . Plus, Yan Liqiang might not even be there!” Lin Qingtian’s eyes grew bleak . “Clearly, it was someone next to him who leaked the news . Yan Liqiang got the news and used the same tactic to avoid them . Yan Liqiang is young but he is as cunning as a slippery eel . There is no way he would come out at this time…”
“General Wei has too many people around him — he’s still investigating how this news was leaked but there are no results yet!”
Lin Qingtian frowned, and wrinkles formed between his eyebrows, “How is the business of the Yan Clan’s manufacturing bureau and the woolen mill?”
“General Wei sent news saying that his men and the Transportation Office people can’t take over those businesses . Before Yan Liqiang left, he asked Lei Sitong to take care of them . Without seeing Yan Liqiang, he couldn’t make the order . Lei Sitong is not under his command . Even though General Wei has the identity of Anxi General, he can’t intervene with the local authorities . Plus, that Lei Sitong isn’t easy to deal with . The Yan Clan has great connections with the Gan Provincial army . They have a deep foundation there and ordinary people can’t touch it so this is a bit tough…”

“Alright, you can go . Tell Wei Wuji that before he finds Yan Liqiang, don’t do anything rash . Leave it for now to prevent more trouble…” Lin Qingtian waved his hand impatiently .
“Yes!” That person bowed as he left Lin Qingtian’s office .
Lin Qingtian stood with his hands behind his back and frowned as he treaded in his office . A Great Han Empire Times newspaper fell to the ground alongside the table . In an obvious spot, there was the catchy title: ‘The Creator of the Greatest Mill, the Heavenly Craftsman of the Great Han Empire, Goes Into Hidden Rehabilitation After Receiving Heavy Injuries’ .
This article recounted the story of Yan Liqiang falling into Qi deviation in detail and didn’t forget to applaud Yan Liqiang for donating money to help the country even though he was heavily injured . He still thought about the country and wanted to help the people…
In just a day, pretty much the entire capital knew about this . Under such a situation, Wei Wuji’s order, the lethal blow that Lin Qingtian was confident in, clearly seemed inappropriate . Yan Liqiang was heavily injured and just went to rehabilitation, but you still want to pull him out to work on military provisions? Making someone work for you when their life was in danger was crossing the line . Even at the imperial court, if someone was sick or wanted to resign, the emperor or the prime minister wouldn’t disagree . This was only rightful . More importantly, you couldn’t even find the person to give the order to right now .
Lin Qingtian had this indescribable feeling of discomfort . It was like his prepared punch had hit air .
Using the Gulang Plains situation, he would get rid of Yan Liqiang . This was something he had planned for a long time . The Emperor let you be the Qiyun Protectorate? I’m going to use that as the rope that will choke you to death and break apart your family . I’ll let the world see who is the master of the Great Han Empire . Can a kid like you intervene in the political battles of the imperial court? I’ll get rid of you and see who dares to act against him… .

His idea was good, but just when the sword was on his neck, Yan Liqiang ran away again!
For some reason, Lin Qingtian felt that these two years hadn’t gone well for him . The big plans he made all didn’t go according to plan, but he still didn’t know what went wrong . This time, even a small Yan Liqiang could escape from him twice . This made him feel very annoyed .
Was there some powerful figure with that person in the imperial court?
Or was someone scheming against him?
At this moment, there was another rush of footsteps and a voice sounded, “My lord, the Anbei Military Governor’s Office has an urgent message!”
Lin Qingtian stopped and took a deep breath, “Bring it in!”
The doors to the office opened and a servant bowed as he handed a letter over above his head .
Lin Qingtian opened the letter and soon, his anger shot up again…
This message was sent by Anbei General Shi Tao . There was no good news here indeed . It was a ‘nightmare’ . In the message, Shi Tao reported that the Storm Army started mass keeping sheep on a few grassfields in the northeast . They had two woolen mills and started weaving wool . Wool was a very popular commodity and the demand was greater than the supply . After knowing the Storm Army could produce cloth and wool, the local merchants all rushed over . The Storm Army sold both wool and sheep fur and was ballooning with wealth . Now, the Storm Army had bypassed the restriction of the Anbei Military Governor to buy food and military equipment from the local merchants . Recently, Shi Tao asked to see Long Feicheng but was rejected by the Storm Army saying that Long Feicheng was checking the paddocks and didn’t have time . This had never happened before as it was always the Storm Army begging the Anbei Military Governor’s Office…
Shi Tao knew where his value was and why he was selected by Lin Qingtian to be this Anbei General . If the Storm Army could bypass his control, then he would be useless . Thinking about how much he offended the Storm Army over the years, his fate would be doomed if he had no value . That’s why he desperately asked for Lin Qingtian’s support…
Lin Qingtian had no way . Could he order sheep to not grow wool? Or forbid the flow of wool on the market? That was impossible . Wool was flowing everywhere in the world; it wasn’t something an order could forbid . He wasn’t emperor yet and even if he was, he couldn’t do that…
Lin Qingtian let out a heavy roar and the letter burned in his hands .
“M-My… Lo…Lord… Your… Your face…” That servant looked at Lin Qingtian in shock . The servant saw a layer of black scales actually grow out of Lin Qingtian’s face…
Lin Qingtian stopped and touched his face . Then he turned around and looked at the servant with cruel red eyes . Before the servant said anything, Lin Qingtian punched the servant and the servant turned into a fresh bloody pulp, spattering blood across the office…

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.

Artifex
In a world where art has power and power is everything, Thando Nkhosi is an MMA fighter trying to stand out and be somebody. At least, as much as one can among 23 billion other people. Life is generally good under the [High King]. That is, until he and his friends are catapulted into the upper echelons of the Inner Planet Federation by being granted a power that may be a bit too much for them to handle, and given a task that seems impossible. Trying my hand at a hopefully unique LitRPG system. No stats or number crunching though. Kinda scifi, kinda fantasy but scifi elements only really become plot relevant after the first arc. Won't be doom and gloom but will get really dark at times. Updates twice a week at minimum (2-3k words), sometimes more when school decides to let me out of the pillory lol. Inspired by a writing prompt on reddit and WarHammer 40k orks.
