404: Chapter 404 The First Emperor's Expectations

General Wang Jian saw the First Emperor's face full of rage and hurriedly and respectfully advised, "His Majesty the First Emperor, please calm your anger."

At this moment, the First Emperor's chest heaved violently, and the fire of rage burned in his eyes; he was clearly quite incensed by the encounter with the bandits just now.

Hearing General Wang Jian's words, the First Emperor turned his head abruptly and questioned in a furious voice, "General Wang Jian, how do you expect me to calm my anger?"

He stepped down from the carriage.

"The bandit problem in our Great Qin Empire has already become a massive issue!"

As the First Emperor spoke, he paced back and forth, his footsteps heavy on the ground as if he wanted to vent the anger in his heart through the sound of his steps.

"We haven't even traveled far from Xianyang, yet we've encountered so many bandits!"

His voice echoed in the air, carrying immense majesty and indignation.

"This is right at the foot of the Son of Heaven!"

The First Emperor stopped and pointed toward the direction where the bandits had appeared, his eyes full of rage as he said, "This is the core of the Great Qin Empire, which should be the most stable place, yet there are so many bandits acting so recklessly. Think about it—in those remote areas where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, wouldn't there be even more bandits!"

"Wouldn't their arrogance be even more blatant!"

"Wouldn't the laws of my Great Qin be even less capable of governing them!"

Hearing this, General Wang Jian was also filled with many emotions and deeply agreed.

He nodded slightly and said with a solemn expression, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. If the banditry in our Great Qin is not rectified, it will surely become a hidden danger for the Empire. These bandits commit all sorts of crimes in various places, disrupting the people's livelihood. They not only threaten the lives and property of the commoners but also damage the prestige of our Great Qin."

"Mhm!"

The First Emperor nodded, a flicker of worry passing through his eyes.

He knew well that if the bandit problem was not resolved, the foundation of the Great Qin Empire would be difficult to stabilize.

Suddenly...

A light flickered in his eyes.

The First Emperor spoke, "I wonder if Fusu can handle the banditry problem of our Great Qin."

"As the saying goes, to repel foreign invaders, one must first stabilize the interior."

The First Emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "I know Fusu has great ambitions to take action against the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions and expand our territory. This is fundamentally a good thing, but the internal problems of Great Qin must be solved first before we can address external issues without any worries!"

"Indeed!"

After General Wang Jian nodded, he took a step forward and said, "His Majesty the First Emperor, I know that His Majesty the Head of State formed the Black Dragon Special Forces Brigade specifically to solve the banditry problem."

His eyes shining, he said, "The Black Dragon Special Forces Brigade gathers the most elite warriors from within the Empire. Each of them possesses extraordinary skills; whether it is individual combat capability or team coordination levels, they are all top-tier. Moreover, they are well-trained and have an extremely strong ability to respond to various complex terrains and sudden situations."

Since General Wang Jian was the one responsible for handling the recruitment for the Black Dragon Special Forces Brigade, he understood it very well.

"The Black Dragon Special Forces Brigade!"

The First Emperor became interested in this Black Dragon Special Forces Brigade.

"His Majesty the Head of State is currently training with the Black Dragon Special Forces Brigade!"

General Wang Jian took the opportunity to say.

"Oh!"

"So Fusu is also training with the Black Dragon Special Forces Brigade!"

After hearing General Wang Jian say this, the First Emperor became even more interested in the Black Dragon Special Forces Brigade.

He spoke, "Then let us go to the Garrison of this Black Dragon Special Forces Brigade and have a look."

"Certainly!"

General Wang Jian nodded in response. Having been out for so long, he also wanted to see how the people of the Black Dragon Special Forces Brigade were progressing in their training.
