Alien King

Chapter 455 The Temple of Light
Having said that, the young man paused for a moment, and then continued: "Your Excellency can of course lead a group of people to raid the homes of these nobles, but apart from causing greater anger among the common people, they will not get any better results. "

Lin Qiyu was stunned, and said, "But I distributed the food to these civilians? Why don't they appreciate me?"

The young man continued: "As long as these nobles insist that it is the adults who deliberately planted the frame in order to take over the privileges of the nobles in the whole city, I am afraid that no one will believe the adults, and these commoners will only stand on the side of the nobles and fight together. grown ups."

Hearing the young man's words, Lin Qiyu let out a long breath.

Lin Qiyu was not completely ignorant of the distinction between nobles and commoners in the Eka Empire, but she did not expect that the common people trusted the nobles to such an extent.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiyu sighed, and said, "Then, I can only watch the price of food soar and remain indifferent?"

The young man was silent for a while, and then continued: "Eka people have a shortage of food. Naturally, Yebao's food price is slightly higher than that of Tiangong Empire. In the upper capital of Tiangong Empire, a bag of rice noodles only It takes [-] Wen, and five bags of rice noodles can be bought for one tael of silver. But in Yebao, a bag of rice noodles costs at least [-] Wen. Whenever there is a drought and the grain is not harvested, the price will rise. The most expensive At that time, a bag of rice noodles could be sold for seven hundred Wen."

Speaking of this, the young man paused for a while, sighed, and then said: "The food problem in the Eka Empire has a long history. It is a thorny headache for any emperor or governor. question."

Lin Qiyu looked at the young man and asked again: "Is there really no solution?"

The young man said: "There are only two ways to solve this problem. One is to increase the food supply channels. If you can find ways to communicate with the Tiangong Empire's grain transportation channel, so that the Tiangong Empire's grain can be continuously delivered to Yebao, The price of food will naturally come down. However, because of the long distance and the rugged mountain roads along the way, the cost is extremely high. Even if it is transported to Yebao, in order to stabilize the price of food, the adults must bear part of the transportation cost themselves. "

Lin Qiyu frowned and thought about it, and then asked: "What about the second method?"

"The second way is to win over the local nobles so that they will no longer set up heavy obstacles to your lord's administration. As long as the nobles can be used by your lord, all problems in Yebao can be easily solved." The young man said again.

Lin Qiyu shook her head, frowned and said: "This method is even more difficult for me. Let's not talk about whether these nobles will be wooed by me, but just talk about the barrier between the Eka people and the Tiangong. It’s so easy to let go of your guard.”

Hearing Lin Qiyu's words, the young man continued: "There are so many nobles in Eka. As long as the adults work hard, it is still possible to find half of them who can serve the adults. Of these two methods, the first method will cost a lot. The price can only work for a while, not a long-term solution. As for the second method, as long as you can find an Oka nobleman who can secretly support your lord, pay for it deliberately, and become the governor of Yekaterinburg in the future, Yekaterinburg can be regarded as long-term The control is in the hands of grown-ups."

Lin Qiyu nodded, then smiled again, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Villain Zhuge Yang." The young man answered.

Lin Qiyu said: "You are thoughtful and thoughtful, and you deal with these complicated issues one by one in an orderly manner. I can see that you are also a talent. Why don't you go back to the Tiangong Empire to get a fame? In the future, you will win a Wouldn't it be better for you to be an official and half-job to give full play to your talents and intelligence?"

Zhuge Yang sighed, and said: "Father's order is hard to break, it's a long story."

Lin Qiyu nodded and said, "If I invite you to work in the Shenji Camp, would you like it? During this period, you don't have to leave Yekaterinburg, and I won't transfer you to other places."

There was a strange look in Zhuge Yang's eyes, and he said: "The villain is naturally willing, I'm afraid the adults will not look down on the villain."

Lin Qiyu continued: "Go back and discuss it with your family, and make preparations by the way. Tomorrow morning, you will report to Shenji Camp."

Zhuge Yang bowed and said respectfully: "My subordinates thank you for your kindness."

After speaking, Zhuge Yang took a step back, turned around, and walked out of Xiangsheli Palace.

Lin Qiyu thought about it for a while, and then said to herself: "I never imagined that in the territory of the Eka people, I could meet a talent from the Tiangong Empire. I'm afraid the chief manager knows, but I don't know what to come up with." The method is closed."

Shaking her head, Lin Qiyu began to recall what Zhuge Yang said just now.

From the Tiangong Empire, it is by no means a long-term solution to deliver food to Yekaterinburg like a blood transfusion, and the price is even lower than the cost of delivery.The best way is still to cultivate an aristocrat who is inclined to the Tiangong Empire, and then rely on this aristocrat to divide, disintegrate and win over the various forces in Yebao. Only in this way can the problem of the occupied area be solved fundamentally.

And more importantly, at this time, the four bidders of the Shenji Battalion have been dispatched to various places under the command of Fu Yutang to incorporate all the cities, states, counties, and towns in the entire Eastern Berthia State.All the officials who are willing to join will be registered and kept in their original posts.Officials who were unwilling to serve the Tiangong Empire were dismissed on the spot and demoted to common people.

For those officials who are unwilling to serve, it is not a big problem.On the contrary, those governors of the states and cities who are willing to serve and retain their original positions, in Lin Qiyu's view, these people serve the Tiangong Empire overtly, but secretly collude with each other, or intend to rebel, or cause trouble, or set up resistance. Come on, it will be more troublesome.

Therefore, there must be a native Eka noble who serves as the governor of Yebao in order to effectively deter and subdue the officials of the states and cities.

But this is not going to the market to buy vegetables, and you can buy them if you have money.Such an Eka noble who is inclined to the Tiangong Empire can only be entrusted with important tasks if he sees his sincerity, and he cannot just designate a person casually.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiyu let out another long breath.Laughing at himself, it is not easy to find a noble who is inclined to the Tiangong Empire.

In Huanan Town, the battle had ended two hours ago.After waiting for a long time without seeing any movement, some bold villagers quietly walked out of the house, and then followed the main road in the town to a small stream outside Huanan Town.

At this time, the villagers saw a tragic scene that they will never forget all their lives.

Along the creek, densely packed corpses covered the entire hillside in front, and the green grass below could hardly be seen.According to a rough estimate, at least tens of thousands of people died by this creek.

Moreover, almost every corpse has the same wound.The wound pierced through the chest, and an hour had passed, and there was still faint green smoke around the wound.

A few bold villagers walked up to the nearest corpse, bent down, and turned it over.Just above the armor on the chest of the corpse, there was a line of eye-catching small characters engraved: The Second Eka Legion.

Similarly, in Naiqi Town, because Arab, the head of the Eka Fifth Army Corps, was too cautious, he retracted the entire army into Naiqi Town, so the fifth and sixth bidders of Shenji Battalion chose to attack by force.

For a moment, the lightning pierced through, the arc flew across, the armor was cracked, and the voices of people howled.For Wei Chen, commander of the fifth bid of Shenji Battalion, and Chang Yuan, commander of the sixth bid, they obviously did not take the life and death of ordinary people in Naiqi Town seriously.

On the contrary, since the battle started from Tianyang Pass, the Shenji Battalion had always been engaged in large-scale positional warfare or mobile warfare, and had not yet conducted a decent city-state street battle.

But in the usual training of Shenji Battalion, street fighting in the city is a very important part.

Eager to try, Wei Chen and Chang Yuan quickly reached a tacit agreement, and directly ordered the fifth and sixth bids of the Shenji Battalion to use the street fighting tactics they usually train to attack the Fifth Russian Army Corps.

Despite having a huge advantage in weapons, due to the huge difference in the number of people, it took the two battalions of Shenji Battalion a whole night to wipe out all the soldiers of the Fifth Eka Corps in Naiqi Town.

Obviously, compared with large-scale positional warfare and mobile warfare, the time consumed by street warfare in the city is much longer.

At the same time, the result of the battle in Naiqi Town also taught Wei Chen and Chang Yuan, the two commanders of the Shenji Battalion, a real lesson.

During the one-night battle, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were besieged or trapped more than once. If it weren't for the titanium alloy shield, it is believed that the casualty rate of the Shenji Battalion would not be less than [-]%.

After confirming the last body of a soldier of the Fifth Eka Corps, Wei Chen and Chang Yuan's expressions were very gloomy.This result was indeed a bit beyond the two people's expectations.

At this moment, both of them knew in their hearts that if it weren't for the electric magic gun, if it wasn't for the titanium alloy shield, and only relying on the skills they usually trained, this battle would obviously be lost.

The Shenji Battalion still needs further training and growth in actual combat.

The annihilation of the Russian First Army, Second Army, and Fifth Army marked the complete demise of the military strength of the Russian Card Empire.It is no exaggeration to say that under the attack of the Shenji Battalion and the Tianyang Army, the Eka Empire is already facing the danger of collapse.

The Valley of the Gods and Demons, the junction of the Shenshan Mountain and the Demon Mountain, is also the boundary between the gods and the demons.

In mid-air, Suoya folded her spread wings suddenly, and her whole body fell down like a falling meteor.

As the ground got closer, Suoya saw that a grand canyon with a width of several hundred feet gradually appeared on a plain on the ground.

During the rapid fall, with a buzzing sound, Suoya's body fell into the canyon, below the ground level.But the canyon was unfathomable, and after half a quarter of an hour, it still hadn't bottomed out.

The entire Valley of Gods and Demons is divided into two, the north side is the Valley of the God Mountain, and the south side is the Valley of the Magic Mountain.The northern side is full of lava glowing faintly red, while the southern side is pitch black, like a black hole from which no light can escape.

According to legends of tens of thousands of years, the north side of the Valley of Gods and Demons represents the line of gods and light, while the south side represents the line of demons and darkness.

Therefore, the Temple of Light is on the north side.The Dark Temple is on the south side.

During the rapid fall, Suoya gradually saw a long tunnel on the north and south sides.With a movement of his body, Suoya quickly adjusted his falling posture, and flew into the tunnel on the north side in an instant.

The tunnel was also very deep, and after flying straight for another half a quarter of an hour, the space inside the cave gradually became wider.

After a few breaths, Suoya finally flew out of the cave.

A large-scale palace group, as if made of gold, was displayed in front of Suoya.There are at least dozens of palaces in this palace group, large and small, and the surface is glowing with golden flames.
