Zhu Haotian can be said to be the most powerful person in the Shenjiao Empire, because the Shenjiao Empire was the dynasty brought down by the Zhu family. He is the head of the Zhu family and the king of the Shenjiao Empire.
Logically speaking, such an empire leader who has the power of the world in his hands and is a tenth-level sword god himself should be very happy. In fact, Zhu Haotian is very annoyed now, so much so that he has not had a good meal in several days. .
Those damn bugs, why did a new Queen of Blades suddenly appear at this time, leading an army of tens of billions of demon bugs to invade the Divine Dragon Empire, and now has occupied more than 10 million square kilometers of territory.
Although for the unimaginably vast Shenjiao Empire, with a huge territory of nearly 400 million square kilometers, the territory less than 10 million square kilometers is only less than one-fortieth, which is nothing at all, and the Zerg The most remote areas were occupied.
The problem is that the greed and cruelty of the Zerg are beyond the reach of any intelligent creature in the small world. The new Queen of Blades of the Zerg will never be satisfied with this small territory. It is the Queen of Blades who brings the entire Gem Continent under the control of the Zerg. ultimate goal.
????????????? Once the Zerg tribe stabilizes its position in the Divine Dragon Empire, it will be extremely troublesome. I don¡¯t know how much it will cost to kill the huge army of demonic insects led by the Queen of Blades!
What worries Zhu Haotian even more is that another huge empire in the Gem Continent, the Dragon Empire, is also preparing to take advantage of the situation. Two million troops have already arrived at the border between the two countries. According to the news from the spies, the Dragon Empire's troops are still moving toward the border in a steady stream. Gathered over, there were even more than fifty dragon knights stationed at the border military camp along with the army.
These idiots, don¡¯t they know? Once the Shenjiao Empire was destroyed by the Zerg. The rapidly growing Zerg army. Is their next target the Dragon Empire?
Being attacked from both sides has already made Zhu Haotian extremely troubled. The news that just came back made Zhu Haotian even more angry. He couldn't help but throw a pair of sapphire balls that he had played with for more than thirty years to the ground. They were worth more than 10,000 magic coins. The sapphire ball at the core was shattered into fragments.
The Zerg Army and the Dragon Empire are fine. Now even a six -cities state that I do n¡¯t know what to do, dare to ignore their orders and kill all the Clark troops sent out in Yumen Gorge?
Zhu Haotian was extremely angry. He was about to order his army to set off and completely crush and eradicate the six city-states and Blackstone Plains that dared to touch the majesty of the royal family. However, as the sapphire ball worth tens of thousands of magic cores collapsed, his anger was slowly suppressed. He regained his previous calmness.
Others don't know how powerful Letis is, but the emperor of the empire has an extremely huge intelligence network. Most of the tenth-level true gods in the empire have more than thirty animal skin records in Zhu Haotian's secret room. . Zhu Haotian was very interested in the fact that Letis had an absolute domain, and even Letis had the secret of the Wind God's wand. He couldn't hide it from Zhu Haotian.
With such a powerful tenth-level magic god, Zhu Haotian might not have much confidence in taking him down if he tried to do it himself. However, Leidis died in Jiming City or was torn apart by someone after using the Gate of Time and Space. Killed with a strange artifact!
Furthermore, the loss of Clark¡¯s 500,000 elite troops also showed that the military strength of the Six City-States and Blackstone Plains far exceeded Zhu Haotian¡¯s estimate.
After calming down, Zhu Haotian had to consider the consequences of sending troops to the Blackstone Plain and the six city-states.
With such a powerful tenth-level space magic god, and Yu Ye from Guiyang City, Zhu Haotian would have to send out at least four or five martial gods to suppress them. If he wanted to kill them, he would probably have to send out more than six true gods!
Normally, when there are no warriors from the Zerg and Dragon Empire, it is not difficult for Zhu Haotian to mobilize these true gods, but now there are seven Martial Gods on the front line of the war with the Zerg, four are sent to the border of the Dragon Empire just in case, and ten are sent to the border of the Dragon Empire just in case. A true god must stay in the imperial capital to ensure the safety of the imperial family and must not be easily transferred. In this way, the tenth level true god that Zhu Haotian can use is a bit nervous.
There are many true gods hidden in the empire, but not too many agree to serve the empire. Even for these true gods who serve the empire, every time Zhu Haotian uses them, he has to pay a huge reward and price!
Among the true gods, the space magic god is the most troublesome. For the space magic god, no matter how far away or how secretly the enemy hides, it is not safe. Just like Rhettis, who has left Yumen Gorge and is in the secret room of Jiming City more than 300 miles away. , were all killed by others using artifacts to tear apart the space.
Zhu Haotian even estimated that even if six true gods are called, it is only a 50-50 chance to surround and kill the space magic god with space magic ability! Once he escapes, the consequences will be so great that even Zhu Haotian will have to worry about three points.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?The terrain on the other side of the Six City States and the Blackstone Plain is complex, and there are only three roads to get through. With the powerful force they have displayed, the empire may have to mobilize two million troops to ensure victory, and the military expenses required for an expedition of two million troops, Even Zhu Haotian, the king of the empire, cannot easily come up with food, grass and supplies.
He took a deep breath. This breath was like a magic sword, condensed and not scattered. The end was sharp, the whole body was golden, and full of dragon energy. Then Zhu Haotian took it back and said in a deep voice to the eunuch outside: "Come here, Go call Fan Yichen, Yang Zheng, Xie Yanyuan and Blake, and tell them that I have something to discuss with them!"
Fan Yichen, Yang Zheng, Xie Yanyuan and Blake are respectively the minister of military aircraft, minister of finance, minister of agriculture and minister of transportation of the empire.
It can be said that these four people plus the Royal Family of God are the core group that truly controls the Shenjiao Empire. Behind every imperial minister, there are countless intricate relationships supporting them, and even the members of the royal family have many connections with them. Due to the marriage relationship, the four ministers themselves are representatives of the super family and have great power. Even if Zhu Haotian wants to remove them from their positions, it will be difficult to do so.
Even the candidates for future ministers are selected and decided by the four ministers themselves!
Zhu Haotian asked the eunuch to invite the four ministers to come over. He paused and then ordered the eunuch to send the headless body of Rhettis back to Haotian City, the imperial capital, from the tongguo teleportation array in Jiming City to the Tianhua Hall in the inner court of the palace, where Zhu Haotian usually met. The minister's place.
The mood of the four ministers, including Fan Yichen, Yang Zheng, Xie Yanyuan and Blake, is not much better than Zhu Haotian. It can be said that Zhu Haotian controls half of the power of the Shenjiao Empire. Four of them. That adds up to the other half. The four of them and Zhu Haotian are both prosperous and devastated. Once the Divine Dragon Empire is occupied by the Zerg or Dragon Empire, the incomparable power they control will naturally be shattered and disintegrated.
Zhu Haotian sent someone in the middle of the night to inform them to come to the Tianhua Palace to discuss matters. The four ministers were surprised and quickly led their guards outside the inner court of the palace, and then entered the Tianhua Palace alone.
? One body has been magically treated to maintain the state of death. But the headless corpse, which had lost too much blood and looked extremely pale and withered, was placed in the Tianhua Palace without any so-called ominous taboo.
Zhu Haotian is actually over two hundred and eighty years old, but his cultivation as a tenth-level sword god, coupled with the nourishment of countless heavenly treasures, is enough to extend his lifespan to more than five hundred years. He does not look old at all, but this His face was so gloomy that he could shed water.
When Fan Yichen, Yang Zheng, Xie Yanyuan and Blake arrived, Zhu Haocai said calmly: "Dear ladies, do you know the identity of this headless corpse?"
Yang Zheng was the first to arrive. He had been observing the condition of the headless corpse, nodded and said: "Your Majesty. Looking at this person's dress, could it be that he is the tenth-level true god of the Clark family, Rhettis?"
Zhu Haotian nodded: "Yes, it's him!"
Blake, the Minister of Transportation, had just allocated a large amount of supplies to the Clark family not long ago, allowing them to set out to conquer the six city-states. He couldn't help but be slightly surprised: "Didn't the Clark family's army reach the Endless Sea? Why was Rhettis being killed? The head was cut off and the body was brought to His Majesty?"
Zhu Haotian's face darkened: "My dear friends, you may not know that the Clark family's 500,000-strong army has been completely destroyed. Letis, the tenth-level true god, was beheaded by a sharp artifact shining with golden light. He died in The cock crows in the city.¡±
Xie Yanyuan¡¯s face changed a few times: ¡°Raidis was killed in Jiming City? Could it be the work of two tenth-level sword gods from Jiming City?¡±
Zhu Haotian waved his hand: "No, it was done by another mysterious space magic god. The body of Rhedis was sent back by people from Jiming City."
Yang Zheng frowned slightly and said: "This Rhettis was killed so easily. Could it be that he just has the title of a tenth-level magic god?"
Zhu Haotian sighed and said: "Yang Aiqing's words are wrong. Not only is Rhettis a tenth-level magic god, but he is also an extremely powerful air and space magic god, with a ninth-level absolute domain!"
Yang Zheng cried out: "How is this possible! He has an absolute domain and is a space magic god. How can he be killed?"
"This is what I can't figure out. It is said that the person who did it was a mysterious man named Mr. Wang. The specific name is unknown. It is likely that the Six City-States and Blackstone Plains were bewitched by this man and fought against the empire."
Zhu Haotian's eyes narrowed slightly, "Now the empire is facing internal and external troubles. I wonder what your dear friends have in mind. Should we send troops to conquer the rebels on the other side of the Endless Sea?"
Fan Yichen and Yang Zheng, one the Minister of Military Aircraft and the other the Minister of Finance, said in unison: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
? ?However, the reasons why they spoke are somewhat different.
Fan Yichen considered the combat power of Blackstone Plains and the Six City-States. Being able to completely annihilate the Clark family's 500,000-strong army is definitely a tough nut to crack.
Yang Zhengze considered the empire¡¯s finances and mobilized such a huge army, even if it cost three million magic cores, it would be too small.
Assuming that two million troops go on a three-month expedition, the military salary of an ordinary soldier is about five low-level magic cores per month. Three months is fifteen low-level magic cores, which is equivalent to one point and five mid-level magic cores. The total is more than Two and a half million intermediate magic cores, no matter how much military pay is suppressed, without one million magic cores, it is impossible for these soldiers to contribute to the empire's fight.
In addition, the remuneration that senior warriors, ninth-level experts, and even tenth-level true gods need to pay is even more astonishing, plus food and supplies, post-war pensions, etc., which is absolutely an astronomical figure!
Now the empire has mobilized its army to deal with the Zerg, and sent the True God and three million soldiers to the border of the Dragon Empire to prevent the Dragon Empire from suddenly launching an invasion war. It has already consumed countless materials and wealth. If it starts a war with the six city-states thousands of miles away, even if If you win, you will only get a piece of wasteland, which is absolutely thankless!
The two talked for a long time, but they could actually be summed up in one sentence: The empire is poor now and cannot afford to fight this war!
Xie Yanyuan listened quietly to Fan Yichen and Yang Zheng talking, and suddenly interrupted: "Your Majesty, in fact, there are ways to solve the problem on the Endless Sea."
Zhu Haotian was upset after hearing what Yang Zheng and Fan Yichen said. He didn't know that the empire was currently short of financial resources. The four ministers had countless wealth, but they were reluctant to take it out. At this time, he couldn't help but ask: "Xie Aiqing, do you have any good ideas?"
Xie Yanyuan chuckled: "I heard from your majesty that the rebellion on the other side of the Endless Sea cannot be instigated by Mr. Wang. Your Majesty only needs to issue an imperial edict to appoint Mr. Wang as the local administrative minister of the wilderness on the other side of the Endless Sea and take over the Blackstone Plain. Waiting for the various city-state forces."
"Since Mr. Wang encouraged them to fight against us, he must be an ambitious person. After receiving the imperial decree from the empire, he will naturally find a way to truly control the power of the Endless Sea."
Xie Yanyuan smiled a little sadly: "In this way, how can the city-state forces in the Blackstone Plains be willing to let their power fall into the hands of others, causing them to fight among themselves and have no time to take care of other things. When the empire frees up its hands, it will slowly deal with them. Late!"
After hearing Xie Yanyuan's words, Zhu Haotian felt much better after the past few days. He laughed and said, "Xie Aiqing is indeed resourceful. I immediately drafted an imperial decree and sent it directly to the Black Stone Plain of the Endless Sea through the teleportation array of Jiming City."
He paused for a moment: "It's just a candidate for the edict, so I'm not sure. I wonder if anyone from the Qing family would recommend him?"
Xie Yanyuan smiled and said: "Feng Ge Kuang can take on this important task!"
Zhu Haotian frowned slightly when he heard Feng Ge Kuang's name, but he still nodded and said: "That's fine. Feng Ge Kuang himself is not weak, and he comes from a family on the other side of the Endless Sea. He is relatively familiar with the situation there. He has a legend The decree is estimated to be in the hands of Mr. Wang."
Fan Yichen and others all know that Feng Gekuang and Xie Yanyuan have never dealt with him. However, Feng Gekuang has outstanding military achievements and has a high reputation in the imperial army. Even Xie Yanyuan cannot easily touch him. Now he is probably using this to get rid of Feng Ge. What a thorn in Kuang¡¯s side!
Although it is just an imperial edict, the people of Blackstone Plain and Six City-States never want to see this imperial edict fall into the hands of Mr. Wang. The best way is to stop Feng Ge Kuang.
Whether the people in Blackstone Plains know about this matter, Zhu Haotian and others all know it well, so it would be meaningless to explain it clearly.
For them, whether this imperial edict can be delivered to Wang Pengyu is not a problem.
As long as Wang Pengyu and Heishi Pingyuan know that such an imperial edict exists, and this imperial edict has not reached Wang Pengyu's hands, they can plant suspicion between them. The two sides will not be able to cooperate closely, and naturally there will be no harm to the empire. (To be continued)
