"The outcome is already divided." On Noah's tree boat, Patriarch Pang Ting put
down his observation mirror and said. . .
This was a one-sided war, and the defenders of the horse failed to make any
effective response from beginning to end. When a huge hole was blasted out of
the western city wall, the soldiers' psychology also completely collapsed.
They scrambled to escape, wishing to get as far from the coast as possible.
According to the plan, the next step is for Noah to land and send the Jinxia
First Division and the mechanical beasts to Yama Island.
"It's almost the same as when the Natatin Empire attacked World Island..."
High Priest Senia sighed, "It would be great if we also had such power at that
time."
"Uh... IMHO, there are still differences between the two." Pang Ting coughed
twice, "Look, the fleet's shells basically landed under the wall, which shows
that Master Xia deliberately lowered the angle of fire to avoid artillery
fire. And the residents of the city. The Empire has no such consideration at
all. Before the elders surrender, ordinary people will be regarded as
resisters and slaughtered together..."
Senia looked at him playfully, "I didn't expect that after a year, you would
say good things for Jinxia people."
"Isn't it... for my compatriots on the tree boat?" Pang Ting blushed, "There
are nearly a thousand elf warriors in Jinxia's first division on this
expedition, and I don't think they will be as despicable and cruel as the
imperial people. "
"Indeed..." Senya cast her eyes on the smoke-filled Bumi Mansion in the
distance, "It's time for World Island to go further."
To be honest, Xia Fan was the most tolerant ruler she had ever seen.
The princess may just not reject the arrival of the elves, but Xia Fan has
been encouraging them to merge with Jinxia with a welcoming attitude.
Even this is written into the law \- as long as Jinxia's ID card is obtained,
the islanders have the same rights as the locals. Although discrimination
still exists at certain times, just like the insoluble estrangement between
humans and demons, this kind of discrimination only dares to appear behind the
scenes. The platform of the government and Xia Fan is enough for Senia to be
touched. .
Because of the other party's attitude, Noah Islander's disembarkation process
was much faster than she expected.
Commerce and trade, fishery, machinery bureau, beach salt field, plant
research institute... Now elves have spread all over the city of Jinxia, and
many emerging industries are related to the seed of the spirit tree.
However, this still does not reassure Senia.
Throughout the ages, there are only two most stable ways to become a community
of interests...one is to marry, and the other is to join the army. It is far
more stable to let elves join the army and gain honor and status through
military exploits than doing business. After confirming that Xia Fan had no
opinion on this, she began to encourage the islanders to join the Jinxia Army
and expand the elves' momentum. This time, the elves have already formed an
organized team.
Senia hopes that in this way, the World Island and Jinxia City will be
connected as a whole in the true sense.
"Prepare the landing troops, Noah is about to land," she ordered.
…
In the central official residence of Tsushima, several ministers were
anxiously waiting for the arrival of the new monarch.
It's not that they don't want to run, it's that they can't run--Compared to
Mr. Kido and his gang of cronies, their family business is basically in the
city, and if they abandon it, they will find their own way of death. Since
escaping is inevitable death, and staying is likely to die, it is self-evident
how to choose.
Egawa Keiichiro is one of them.
His background is not obvious, and he could not enter the government to join
the government. Later, he was favored by the city owner because of his good
accounting skills. He was promoted to the inner government to be responsible
for taxation and expenditure planning. He was regarded as half a financial
officer. But since the money bag is always in Kido's hands, he can only drink
some soup at most, and he is still thousands of miles away from the real rich
and powerful.
After a while, a group of people walked into the lobby, led by a small woman
who looked extremely young.
Is this the leader of that terrifying invasion army?
Jiang Chuan doubted his eyes for a while.
"A brief introduction," said the man next to her, "this is the princess from
Jinxia, and the future king of Qiguo."
Everyone was stunned.
Wait a minute, the mainlanders are attacking Tsushima Mansion again?
Before, they had already received the news that the Seven Star Privy Council
had landed in Bumi Mansion, and now a princess of the Kingdom of Qi suddenly
appeared. What kind of wind was this blowing? s concern?
"Your Highness, Princess, what is your relationship with the Seven Star Privy
Council..." Jiang Chuan asked boldly.
"The enemy." The woman replied coldly.
The latter closed his mouth immediately. He had already vaguely understood
that Yamadao had once again become a arena for mainland powers—this happened a
hundred years ago, and the Anjia at this moment was the winner at that time.
"Princess Jinxia?" Someone suddenly whispered, "Could it be that they are the
supporters behind Queen Yama?"
These words were also heard by the other party. The princess said bluntly,
"Yes, the Great Witch of May is an ally of Jinxia City. I also want to help
her in this expedition. By the way... it seems that your allegiance is to King
Dongsheng?"
This question made Jiang Chuan and others shiver.
If you don't make a statement at this time, I'm afraid that there will be no
chance to speak later.
Kiichiro Jiangchuan took the lead in bowing to the ground, "I am willing to
swear allegiance to Her Royal Highness!"
Such a neat surrender made the princess stunned for a while, "I thought you
would think about it again... After all, the original city lord is still
alive."
"No no no..." He shook his head again and again, "Sir Kido has given up
Tsushima Mansion, and you are the new owner of this city."
"Oh? Any order I give, you will all execute it?" The princess raised one leg
and swayed slightly.
"It's... yes!" Jiang Chuan said bluntly, "But since the battle between King
Dongsheng and Queen Yama, the burden on Tsushima House has increased day by
day, so I can only do my best."
"Do you know what I want?"
"Uh..." Jiang Chuan was at a loss for words. What else could he want in a war,
but money, food, and people. It's impossible to say that this group of people
won Tsushima Mansion just to find a place to stay, without taking a penny
along the way, right? He tentatively replied, "If there is food and grass,
there are still 10,000 in the warehouse to carry..."
The princess laughed, UU reading www.uukanshu.com "Ten thousand is not enough,
I need at least this number."
She stretched out five fingers, clenched her fists and released them.
One hundred thousand? Jiang Chuan couldn't help but be in a hurry, "Your
Highness, 100,000 is too much, we can't get it together in a short time! If
this news spreads, I'm afraid it will cause panic among the people!"
Tsushima's food supply was not much, and if another 100,000 grain was levied,
the price of grain would immediately rise to the sky. He didn't dare to think
about how many people would die in the city by then.
In fact, the war has continued until now, and food prices have remained high
for a long time in various places.
What's more, the opponent's army is only a few thousand people, and 100,000
dan is too harsh.
"People will panic? No, it's probably too late for them to be happy." The
princess shrugged.
"Ah?" Jiangchuan Kwaiichiro was stunned.
"Because these grains are not prepared for the Jinxia Army, but for them." The
other party said in a hurry.
