Lottery! One Hundred Thousand Snow Dragon Riders!

"Rebellion, rebellion… Orion! Do you really want to disobey orders?!"

"Outside the city, I still have 100,000 guardsmen with me!"

"If you dare resist and defy orders, the Royal Guards will raze the entire palace to the ground!"

The old eunuch's lips quivered as he shouted at Orion with a fierce expression, his trembling arms betraying his deep fear.

One hundred thousand Guards Corps!

Orion's face grew icy at the old eunuch's words.

So, Linglong had mobilized the Imperial Guards from Chang'an and Kyoto to capture him.

"Xu Zhu, kill him!" Orion's tone turned cold as he gave a decisive order to Xu Zhu.

The empress's actions had thoroughly chilled him. He decided there was no turning back now.

"Understood!"

Xu Zhu accepted the order immediately. The old eunuch's expression changed dramatically upon hearing Orion's command.

"You dare…"

Before the old eunuch could finish his threat, Xu Zhu's dazzling white sword struck.

Blood sprayed, and the old eunuch's head fell to the ground.

The old eunuch was dead.

With his demise, Orion's mind immediately received the system's pleasant notification:

[Ding! The host's subordinates have killed 20 Martial Kings, 5 Martial Emperors, 2 Martial Sects, and 300 martial arts masters! You have obtained 275,000 luck points!]

(Luck points are awarded based on the actual strength of the enemies. Normal points are not counted. Each warrior is worth one point.)

"Luck points!"

Orion was overjoyed by the system's prompt.

According to the system's previous explanation, these luck points could be used in the system mall!

"System, open the lottery interface!"

Orion eagerly activated the system.

After a quick inspection, he understood the lottery options:

Spending 100 luck points allows participation in a low-level lottery with average rewards.

Spending 1,000 luck points enters an intermediate lottery with slightly better rewards.

Spending 10,000 luck points allows entry into a high-level lottery with generally good rewards, like a Martial King.

Spending 100,000 luck points gives access to a super lottery with rewards typically from the Martial Sect realm.

Higher-level Saint and Emperor-level lotteries require millions of luck points.

[Ding~! It is detected that the host is conducting a lottery for the first time. The system will provide a 10% discount!]

"A 10% discount?"

Orion's excitement grew.

With over 270,000 luck points, a discount could mean he could afford a top-tier Holy Level lottery.

"System, I want to conduct a Holy Level lottery!"

Orion made his decision without hesitation.

Using the 10% discount for the Holy Level Lottery was the best way to maximize his benefits.

[Ding! The host has chosen the Holy Level Lottery. The system is drawing...]

[Ding! The lottery is successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the exclusive legion: One Hundred Thousand Snow Dragon Riders!]

"One Hundred Thousand Snow Dragon Riders!"

Orion was elated.

He remembered from his previous life that the Snow Dragon Cavalry was legendary, known for its exceptional strength.

"Haha! Perfect timing!"

Orion looked up and smiled with satisfaction. He had no troops under his command—just himself. The arrival of this formidable army was a perfect solution.

[Host, please note that the current space is too small. The Dragon Riders will be deployed outside the city.]

The system's voice prompted.

"Alright, no problem!"

"I'm eager to see the Snow Dragon Cavalry in action!"

Orion laughed with anticipation.

He regretted that he could only use the 10% discount lottery once. With 170,000 luck points remaining, he decided to save them for another opportunity.

Orion glanced at the scattered limbs in front of the palace and frowned.

"Xu Zhu, be more careful next time. We're in front of the palace—it's a mess and hard to clean up! There are still people living here!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Xu Zhu wiped the blood from his sword and scratched his head, smiling innocently. His demeanor was completely different from the fierce warrior he had been moments before.

This was the character summoned by the system, loyal and obedient to the host.

"By the way, my lord, the old eunuch mentioned that there are still 100,000 imperial guards outside the city…"

Xu Zhu's face showed concern.

Even though he was a Semi-Saint, facing an army of 100,000 was daunting.

Orion, however, remained calm and even smiled.

"Haha, those 100,000 Guards are perfect! They'll provide excellent training for the Snow Dragon Cavalry!"

"I'm eager to see how formidable this Snow Dragon Cavalry truly is!"

Outside Yubei City, the 100,000 Royal Guards had already set up camp.

"Congratulations, Li Shuai!"

"This time, assisting the prince in suppressing the Zhenbei Palace is a tremendous achievement!"

"Yes! An opportunity like this to gain rewards without any risk is truly rare!"

Inside the command tent, everyone flattered and praised Commander Li Weiming, who reclined in a chair.

Beautiful courtesans sang and danced behind the curtains as wine and meat were enjoyed.

The major commanders and lieutenants exchanged embraces, reveling in the festivities.

"Ah, it's too early to celebrate!"

"Now that the prince has gone to issue the imperial edict, perhaps Orion will even commit suicide if he's willing to obey the emperor's orders!"

"If we're not needed, how will we gain any credit?"

Despite the words, Li Weiming's joy was unmistakable.

The so-called suppression of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion was secondary to him. What mattered most was that the empress had given him control over the Northern Territory, overseeing all its matters!

This was Li Weiming's true prize.

With this power, becoming the next King of Zhenbei was within reach.

His subordinates continued to flatter him, noting his satisfaction.

"Haha! I doubt that useless Orion will truly resist!"

"It's a shame that Lu Qingtian's great reputation is tarnished by his son! Haha!"

"That's right! When Orion is removed, the entire Northern Territory will fall under Li Shuai's control!"

"Yes, yes, you can't escape this credit! Li Shuai, don't forget about us subordinates…"

Hearing their applause, Li Weiming's gratitude and excitement grew.

"Haha, that's only natural!"

"Drink up!"

Whether it was the alcohol or the effects of power, Li Weiming's eyes grew hazy.

It seemed the title of marquis was within his grasp!
