Monarch of Evernight: One Hundred and Four Thorny Ambition
bsp;In the next few days, a new batch of supplies from the aristocratic families and major trading houses arrived, and the repair of the internal damage and structural adjustment of the Hall of Valor became even faster.
Qianye redesigned the layout of the internal cabin based on the flow of Force when breathing, leaving special breathing and exhaust passages. With the collaboration of thousands of craftsmen, the entire conversion was completed within a week.
Each aristocratic family is doing their best, and there is no ambiguity in providing people and money. There are not many opportunities to visit the interior of the Hall of Valor. Even for information, this opportunity should not be missed. After participating in the transformation of the Hall of Heroes, they were truly shocked and understood what a great feat it was. They also understood why the empire regarded Qianye so important during the Battle of Floating Land.
At this point, each family finally recognized the reality. Qianye was already extremely powerful, and with the Hall of Heroes in hand, he was almost invincible. Even if the empire sent a complete squadron, it was no match. Unless two of the three fleets of the Imperial Guard are dispatched, victory is possible.
At this moment, Qianye has become a climate, with the existence of the Hall of Heroes, it can be said that there are both land and air in Yonglu, and there is no flaw. If you want to defeat Qianye, I am afraid that only the Heavenly King himself can take action.
Every aristocratic family acts very quickly. Once they recognize the reality, they will never be sloppy. During this week, countless secret reports were sent back to the empire through various channels, and then many more secret reports were sent back.
Qianye also has a different attitude towards secret reports. Anyone who has dealings with the empire will be ignored, and those who have dealings with Yong Ye will be investigated and dealt with on a routine basis. Whoever is caught will be unlucky. But those who have private dealings with Zheng Guo will be severely punished.
When the secret reports from the empire came back one after another, the heads of various families in Yonglu sent new orders to the private army commanders. The allied forces of the aristocratic families are all in the same place. They have fought together for such a long time and have become close comrades-in-arms. Therefore, some small secrets that cannot be kept secret do not matter.
As soon as he received the new order, one of the commanders exploded, "What? You must completely obey Lord Qianye's arrangements and must not violate them? There is another sentence here. If Lord Qianye's order conflicts with the master's family, the order will be ignored. Lord Qianye’s order shall prevail?”
"Isn't this asking us to be loyal to Master Qianye?"
While there was a lot of discussion, an experienced general sneered: "Isn't this obvious? Why make such a fuss? Even if others want to be loyal to Lord Qianye, they have to see if they are qualified."
"That makes sense, but I won't be considered a member of the master's family from now on, right?"
"Come on, if you can be sent to a ghost place like Yonglu, don't we all know our status in the master's family? If we get along well, we can still meet here?"
The generals all agreed and burst into laughter. After the atmosphere relaxed, the initial shock was over, and you slowly came back to your senses. Someone asked: "Do you think this is a good thing?"
"It should be... right?"
"What does it mean?! That's right! Think about it, everyone, if we people can be selected to come to the lower-middle continent, who is not a thorn-head? But why are we thorn-heads? Isn't it because we haven't met the Ming Master? , Can’t those guys above obey? Now it’s hard to meet Lord Qianye, but there are not many people like him who are worthy of following.”
"Not many? How many do you think there are? Master Qianye has always been a genius as famous as Zhao Clan Zhao Jundu. Going forward twenty years, apart from King Qingyang, he was the only one. Master's identity Special, we must be kings in Yonglu, wouldn’t we then become ministers of development?”
A cold-faced man said in a rough voice: "I don't care if you are the Minister of Development, but I am convinced by Master Qianye! How old were you when you became famous in the **** battle? I was nothing at that age."
Everyone was talking a lot, and the more they talked, the more excited they became. Halfway through, a general suddenly came over, and everyone was silent for a moment. The general was young, looking to be in his early thirties, but he was quite powerful. Just by looking at the faces of everyone, one can tell that he has a high prestige, otherwise he would not be able to overwhelm these powerful generals who are not afraid of anything.
This man's surname was Kong Mingsu, who came from a branch of the Kong family and followed Kong Yu, but was not transferred back to Yuelu to participate in the war. Since the Yin family did not leave anyone with the same status and rank, he became He became the commander-in-chief of the family.
Kong Su is not a person who only relies on the power of the Kong family, but he does have real talent and practical knowledge. He has reached the sixteenth level of cultivation at a young age, and he still retains a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough. If you rely solely on personal force, you won't be able to convince the crowd, but Kong Su is also very good at leading troops. He led the family alliance to win several great victories and conquered everyone.
Seeing him at this moment, all the generals fell silent. They all come from small aristocratic families and don't have a strong sense of belonging. They came to Yonglu only after being ostracized by their master's family. Kong Su came from the Kong family, which was a top-grade family. Even though no one in the family was Qianye's rival, the overall background was not comparable to Qianye's current situation. Just look at the Yin family and the Kong family coming out with some strategic supplies, and there are hundreds of thousands of armed soldiers, which can be seen.
The coalition general wanted to change his position, but Kong Su did not necessarily want to do so.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Kong Su said: "I heard everything you just said."
Everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. The cold-faced strong man simply said: "What does General Kong mean?"
Kong Su smiled slightly and said: "Although the coalition of aristocratic families is called a coalition, they are actually their own masters. Just to win, a general commander was elected. If you want to change the family, according to common sense, in the empire, you will There is a reputation.”
Many people changed their colors slightly, quietly distanced themselves, and increased their alertness.
Kong Su just pretended not to see it and continued: "However, in my opinion, even if everyone wants to bear this infamy, I'm afraid it won't be possible now."
"Why?"
Kong Su pointed in the direction of the City of Blue Waves and said: "The most important thing that Master Qianye is currently developing is the new world. Sooner or later, this place in Yonglu will be your world. But we can't do it now. Stepping into a new world and fighting a group of primitive tribe werewolves here, do you think you are very important in the eyes of adults?"
This sentence doesn’t sound good, but it is true. These generals do not feel that their brothers are poor in combat effectiveness, but that they have not yet had the time to gain their trust. But lack of trust is actually a sign of unimportance.
The impatient general asked: "What should we do?"
In such a grand strategy, these generals are really no match for Kong Su. They are all looking at him eagerly at this moment, waiting for the answer.
Kong Su said: "Although we have only been together for a short time, we have fought several battles together. Your true nature is best seen on the battlefield. You were originally in the Lord's house, so you are probably all a thorn in the side, right?"
Everyone laughed.
Kong Su smiled and said: "Although Kong is not a prick, his situation is even worse than everyone else's. The reason is also very simple. Kong is a concubine."
Everyone exclaimed, suddenly enlightened. In a high-class family, the status of a concubine and a direct descendant is very different, and sometimes it is even worse than having a son who has been a servant for generations.
The master's family will cultivate vassals. If a talented person can produce a promising general, they will not hesitate to help his entire family to rise in rank, just like the newly promoted marshal Wu Yazi who was granted the title of nobleman by virtue of his noble family background under the Wei family in the Far East.
However, most aristocratic families are unwilling to divide their clans. Uncontrolled branches will dilute the income and weaken the family's resources that can be uniformly dispatched to the outside world. Moreover, the same bloodline is more likely to squeeze the living space of the direct lineage, and even the head of the family will change hands. . It is not a good thing to replace the heirs with concubines. If this situation occurs, it also means that the internal strife in the family has reached a certain level, and everyone can see the changes in the lineage within the Qin royal family.
Kong Su laughed at himself and said: "Actually, saying that I am a concubine is already putting gold on my face. My mother is actually just a maid."
In a family that attaches great importance to bloodline, this is definitely a shortcoming. Many generals looked at each other in surprise, and suddenly felt that the distance between them seemed to be much closer.
Kong Sudao: "We are not welcomed in the empire, how can we endure being ignored by Master Qianye? Your Excellency did not notice us, not because of our background, but because of our trust and combat prowess! Now there are There are 800,000 werewolves, and we only have 20,000. Is this important? In fact, it’s not important. People like Master Qianye only care about our achievements! If we use 20,000 people to achieve a record comparable to 200,000 werewolves, the adults will naturally take us seriously, and we will naturally have a share in the development of the new world."
The generals' blood boiled with excitement when they heard this. The reason why they wanted to stab their heads was not because of anything else but because they didn't recognize their talents and the superior officials or their masters couldn't suppress them. As long as they have a chance to prove themselves, they will all become a nightmare for the enemy on the battlefield.
Seeing that the morale was available, Kong Su's eyes flashed and he said loudly: "What do you mean by showing prestige? It's very simple, that is, we fight forward, regardless of the front agreed by the Lord and Duke Gale, and keep moving forward. , beat out that old guy Lianghuo! This is called majesty!"
"What if Ranhuo is really shameless and takes action against us?"
The other person immediately said: "What are you afraid of? Don't we still have Duke Gale here? But if we make a sneak attack with fire, maybe we will kill some people. What, are you afraid that this will happen to you? If you are afraid, just Hide behind me, I’ll stand in front of you!”
The predecessor was furious, "When have I ever been afraid? In which battle have I killed fewer werewolves than you?"
During the quarrel, Kong Su had already completed the task. At nightfall, the Allied Forces of the Aristocratic Family left their defensive positions and charged into the depths of the Burning Fire Territory.
Qianye didn't notice the little episode here. At this moment, he was standing on the ground and looking into the distance. Behind the ship, a Forest of Two Holy Trees was still smoking. The ground was littered with corpses of alien beasts. Thousands of soldiers were cleaning the battlefield and building bases.
The scale of this base is much smaller. It is not even equipped with a power tower and can only be regarded as an outpost. Judging from the scale, it can station up to more than a thousand soldiers.
With the Hall of Heroes, Qianye is equivalent to having an extra flying fortress, and there is no need to spend huge sums of money to build advanced bases.
The Hall of Valor itself is a huge space, and there is no pressure to transport 100,000 warriors at one time. In this way, what needs to be built on the edge of each forest changes from an advance base to a security outpost base.
The size of the base has been repeatedly discussed and confirmed by Qianye and Carol, and about a thousand people is just right. A force of this size can ensure that there are enough manpower to maintain the density of firepower, and there will be no problem against an army of alien beasts of normal size. It can also sustain for a period of time against a large-scale legion, so that it will not be unable to send out any news.
As a result, Qianye's expansion pace is much faster, and he can sweep a forest in two or three days. In the blink of an eye, three Double Sacred Tree Forests have entered the tent.
