Seeing my Qinglin’s arrival, eldest brother Edward left these officers aside, took my Qinglin to the next living room for tea and asked about each other.
When do you think the temple will attack and how big it will be? I asked
I don’t think it will be more than 40 days at most in a month or so. In terms of the number of people, I don’t think it will be less than 300 thousand, but it will not be more than 400 thousand. In terms of the Pantheon, the military strength in this area is not very strong. Even if he strengthens the military strength in this area, he will be able to build a new military force from time to time, but the fighting force is low. They can increase our momentum. The Temple will not make this middle-and-low-level mistake. From other areas, it is not urgent to adjust its strength, Big Brother analyzed.
Don’t take it lightly. The temple has long been controlled by military power. It means that the military power has been strengthened over the years. After a big loss, it will definitely be menacing this time. The temple has never lacked mastery of military leaders. Military generals should be careful to suffer, I said

Don’t worry, we will be careful. This group of officers in the King’s Temple didn’t eat for nothing. Although our strength is not as strong as that of the Temple, we are flexible in tactics. Don’t worry, we can’t suffer losses. I guarantee that the situation in this area will be really stable when we come back. When we come here, we will have a headache in the Temple. How to deal with our local advantages? But how is the family? Brother asked.
The situation at home is also good, but we are also facing a war. I estimate that the imperial troops will not be less than 300 thousand, but we can win this battle here. Old man Aaron will wake up when the emperor is in the empire. Old man Aaron won’t watch me bring down the empire. He watched our brothers grow up knowing that we are not the kind of people who want to be emperors. We just don’t want to be bullied by others. He will talk to us this time. It must be the Clark family who led the army and the empire won the old man. It’s no big deal. No, the Clark family is already a grand duke. If we win this battle, the family power will inevitably rise, so he will become a thorn in the side of the empire because they have already threatened the empire. If they lose, we will not let go of the Clark family. The old man knows me too well. I seriously doubt that I was helped by the old man to wipe out my political enemies. This time, the soldier may be a conspiracy of the old man, I said slowly
Is old Aaron so insidious? Big Brother asked.
This is an old fox who has been rolling in the political arena for decades. Just look at him and hide in the town more than ten years ago. He knows that this old guy is an old scoundrel and slippery thing. We were profited by him carelessly. Now it seems that Marshal Kling is not a soldier but a politician. It was helped by the old man once. This time, we eliminated the political enemy of the Clark family for him. He was relieved, I said.
What does he want? Edward asked
This is not necessarily what he wants to do. In fact, the old man is also white. Now the Maltese Empire is already going uphill. The new emperor is not ambitious. The emperor countries and big noble forces are secretly cultivating private forces. They are all preparing to change their status in the future war between ghosts and gods. Even the temple is playing this idea, not to mention other nobles. The surrounding empires are eyeing up the empire. Even a small country in the past, Burton, dared to compete with the empire for food production areas. It is not easy for the old man to say that I have a battle here, but I can explain.
I have come here today to send some tools to the Mandu people, but I also have a question to share with the King’s Palace. These days, I have been thinking about this question, that is, to treat the temple. Some time ago, I wiped out the temple and set up a knights order in my territory privately. At the same time, I also found the gang who were chasing Fat Nubi. They all belong to the temple, but the followers in the territory kept making troubles. It seems that violence can’t completely solve this problem. After I gave them a good living environment, they won’t object to me. But I am still naive. The religious problem is far
However, we can’t let these problems go, no matter otherwise, it will become a great disaster and bring us extinction. I wonder if we should treat the temple clergy in two ways. If we don’t make trouble, we won’t take any measures against them. The important thing is whether we can rebuild a new temple and define traitors who betray God’s will for the temple clergy in the empire, so that we can take a large number of civilian believers to crack down on the temple forces. The temple is just a toothless tiger. I said a lot of opinions in one breath.
I think it’s feasible. Edward said that he is worthy of being an imperial heir, and he saw that it was powerful.
We can also add our propaganda on the depravity and lust for money of the senior clergy in the temple, which will definitely be a great blow to the temple. On the other hand, we can standardize the new gods, stipulate that they should benefit the people and justice, and urge them to give full play to their servants’ geographical position under the supervision of the emperor, rather than their spokesmen’s geographical position. It will certainly be of great help to the rapid stability of the areas under our control, Edward said
It seems that the world is not only less intelligent, but also less intelligent. After this, the empires will certainly follow the example of the Temple Department, which is also divided into two factions. I want Edward to set up the banner of standardization of the Temple, and people will definitely send the door to Edward. Everyone in this world has money and people, and three people have discussed this matter in detail. It is decided that the horse will be implemented in Edward-controlled areas. Qing Lin went to rest as early as the three of us discussed military issues.
I stayed in Krummar Empire for another two days, met with Mandu and others, and told them to pay attention to some things. I left Krummar Empire with Qinglin. One destination was Hongxia City, Temayat Empire, where two brothers, Ye Zhou, were in charge of my other industry. Although they won’t be bothered, it’s also good to have smooth information in two places. Don’t forget that the telegraph is not only military information, but also commercial information.
Julia was very excited to see us. He gave me a detailed report on the industrial operation of these Temayat empires during this period, and some political information of the Temayat Empire. I expect that our empire can fight back another reason in one battle, that is, other empires will never be willing to take advantage of the fact that the Maltese Empire will arrive and get the crossbow and other equipment. I don’t know when it will arrive, but it is impossible to soldier the Maltese Empire. They will put pressure on the Empire. I can’t get others. This is. The empires held ideas because they were worried about Songfengling’s preparations for the war. They stayed in the production base at the border of Hongxia City for two days, and after examining the cultivation of the two brothers, I quietly returned to Songfengling.
On the third day when I returned to Songfengling, I met a fat man who had lived in Songfengling for a long time. I was lying in an easy chair, drinking my tea, and it was fragrant. I asked him
What are you going to do in the future? It’s a horse fight here.
What am I going to do? I managed to save my life here with you, of course. Are you a loser? I have known you for not a year or two. I know that the empire will definitely not get well this time. I’m not in a hurry. Do you think I’m not eating well and sleeping well? I’m waiting for my brother to give me a chance? I usually give them a lot of gold coins for those king eggs in the temple, but I want to die in the end. I won’t just forget it. It’s a pity that Brother Weiss suffered a bitter generation and ended up with a dead man.
I’m not the kind of person who sells friends. You, Wells, have helped me a lot in business. This time, you have been implicated and resented because of me. I will also help you get your property back. I will let the empire sit down and negotiate honestly. They must talk, otherwise I will let them be the dead emperor and nobles. I hope you can continue to join us in our territory. The previous business was small and the big business is still behind. I don’t want my family to dominate the world by force, but I can control the world by money. This is economic power. Force can’t levy people, but the economy can.
I didn’t think so much. I know that I can’t eat with you and lose control of the world. I didn’t think that I wanted to be a businessman who was not oppressed by others. I would also do business, and I wouldn’t do it, Nubi said
It’s enough to know how to do business. I don’t agree with you until you know how to do business. You still have to live in Songfengling for a while. It will take a month or two before you can go back to the imperial city and take revenge. I’ll arrange these days to list the merchants with good reputation in your past. After we negotiate with the empire, we’ll have a large-scale merger with them. Then don’t complain that I have given you too much burden. You will find that a new era has arrived, I said.
Well, I listened to you all, Nubi said.
After I met Nubi, I was free to come to the territory, and everything was going on as planned. Art’s 10,000 mine shells were completed before. I also assembled the mines with Qinglin in two days. I tied up the remaining 2,500 archers and more than 40 experts in the then-elixir period at home, trained them in mine assault, and told them about guerrilla warfare strategy, ideology and tactics. These military forces that I have cultivated for many years have finally come into play. After a few days, they have mastered the mine methods, and the environment has cooperated with their tactics to attack, and they quickly passed through the territory, knowing that lovers
On the third day after the training, news came from a line. Now, many armies are trading in all parts of the empire, and their destinations are a city not far from our territory. The war in Paya City is finally approaching.

In a luxurious big room in Paya City, two people dressed as nobles are talking. One young man looks like he is in his twenties, and the other is a middle-aged man. He is about fifty years old, so they are not very happy to talk. I heard the young man ask the middle-aged man
Father, why do you have to go to Songfengling? It’s not good for our Clark family, but it will bring us disaster. You’ve been cheated by that old guy Aaron Habis this time.
Shut up, asshole. What do you know about that Ricci 86-bit is just a little earl? He actually cut off your big brother’s limbs and made him a cripple, and clamored for our Clark family to compensate him for 50 million gold coins. My Clark family has been the Grand Duke of Malta for thousands of years. When did we encounter this situation? Our family is a bloody family. We will fight with our enemies in the end. Hatred can end the shame with blood, and blood can wash it away. I want the blood of the Bit family to wash away your big brother’s shame. Archduke Clark roared angrily.
Father does realize that the enemy’s strength is a noble and should be cultivated. Now I think you haven’t done this. You have been carried away by hatred. You should think calmly that our family is in danger now. What we have to do now is to withdraw our troops from here and ask the emperor to take 50 million gold coins from the royal house to compensate Ricci for 86 bits. Then our family will shrink its strength and wait quietly for the outbreak of the ghost war before looking at his father, Archduke Clark, said.
How dare you accuse me of this? I’m still the head of the Clark family. I want to accuse me when I die. I know you’ve been dissatisfied with my preference for your eldest brother. Now you’re satisfied. He’s a basket case. It’s impossible to take over the position of head of the family. You’ve become the first heir. The elders of the family have prepared for this. Are you happy? Archduke Clark looked at this second son and said.
Job’s second son, but his eldest son, Neddy Clark, has nothing in common with Fang Naidi Clark. Clark is handsome, tall, smart and capable, and he is a quarrelsome genius. He was once recognized as the youngest candidate in blade master by the nobles of the imperial city, but his long face, yellow body and thin roots are far from handsome, and his talent is far from his own. After a few years of magic, he changed his quarrelling to the Royal Magic Martial Arts Academy and simply changed his history. If he were not his own son, he would have driven him out of the house.
Father, I didn’t approve of the family royal marriage for a long time. Because of the 19 th Princess, it is impossible to see the eldest brother. He agreed to be engaged to the eldest brother. It is a cage. Our family’s marriage is not good for the family foundation. I don’t know why. This thing is that the princess provoked the eldest brother, but it was a disaster. It should be faced by the empire, not by us. Don’t you know how the emperor died? Job continued
Shut up, I think you are jealous of your eldest brother’s engagement to Princess Nineteen, so you oppose this marriage. The advantage of royal marriage is obvious. We can further strengthen our family strength, and we can crush the Habis family, so that we will be the largest family in the Maltese Empire. Archduke Clark’s tone is no longer so angry.
It is this advantage that has pushed our Clark family to this precipice. We are now facing an opponent that we don’t know completely. You have also been fighting hard for decades in political struggle. But at this time, what has lost your cool? What does it mean to be unknown to an opponent? You should know better than we do. Count Ricci, I have done some research, and it can be unfathomable to form an orc team of about 1,000 to 3,000 people in his hands. This team was originally formed in the form of a mercenary. It is said that the fighting capacity was strong five or six years ago. In order to get this method of training orcs into soldiers, how many aristocratic families and surrounding empires took action to seize them, but as far as I know, none of these people came back alive.
Four years ago, the old guy Aaron knew who did what he did. He didn’t take revenge on the emperor first, because he was afraid that he was not afraid of his own death, but that the Maltese family would be wiped out. The murder of Grand Duke Philette was the best example. At that time, the temple of Philette family was finished in the back, but it was much stronger than we are now. In the end, the temple didn’t mention who the murderer was, but we all knew that we were better than the Philette family. Father, you should think it over carefully, Job said.
At that time, it was different now. This time, it gave me 350,000 elite troops and brought me 420,000 family private soldiers. I don’t believe that I can’t kill this 86-bit Ricci. He was in an army of less than 20,000 people first, and his 20,000 people have not been trained for a long time. I will see how he can win this long battle, said the letter from Grand Duke Clark.
Well, don’t say anything more. Since you have chased me from the Imperial City, please stay and give me some knowledge about military management. Anyway, your eldest brother can’t inherit my position as master. You should do it sooner or later so that our family can develop for a long time. Archduke Clark said in a soft tone.
Father, I don’t need these things. A good position only needs to know one thing, that is, meeting people, but I don’t think I can see these things. The Clark family is about to disappear from this world, and my family heir will be killed without exception. These are less than what Job said pessimistically.
You shut up, you worthless thing. Get your horse back and don’t show it to me. How can I be so great that I have done something wrong? Archduke Clark said bitterly.
Father, I will leave here soon, but I hope you will agree that I will lead other direct relatives of my family to make a long trip to neighboring countries until the end of this war. I hope you will agree to Job’s new requirements.
I agree with Archduke Clark. After thinking about it for a while, I agreed to ask for some strange things. The next day, Job Clark left Paya City, and no one saw Job Clark again. It was only after the war that people found out that the Clark family’s direct family had disappeared and never seen these people again.
