Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

The first person to push this was naturally the third prince.

There was no other way. He was the boss of others. Now that he had the chance, he naturally had to help Christine and Feng En.

But the second person who pushed forward this was not Duke Chongshan, but the second prince after listening to Duke Jusen's report.

It can be seen from the fact that he would recruit and train artisan families like Fengxian to develop technology for him, while the third brother would just rush over and slaughter them all, that he is much more stable than his "third brother".

Being steady often means being calm, and being calm often means having more time to weigh the pros and cons and to find entry points and solutions that are more suitable for oneself.

That's right, after thinking carefully, he came up with the following method: You support them, right? Okay, I will support them too!

Not only did the second prince use his connections to support her, he also took personal action to support her.

At the celebration banquet hosted by the Duke of Giant Forest, he specifically called up Christine and Feng En, who had accepted the invitation out of courtesy and Deep Forest tradition, and praised them heavily in front of everyone.

But everyone knows that the Second Prince and the Third Prince have always been at odds with each other, so this kind of enthusiasm confused them. They were afraid of being accused of something and almost didn't dare to say anything.

But the second brother did this not to win over the other person, after all, the other person is already the third brother's man, and he won't be able to be won over no matter how hard he tries.

Besides, the second prince is not a fool. It is impossible for him to fall for such a ridiculous counter-espionage plot and push them over on his own initiative.

So the third prince did this in order to leave a name for himself. Of course, it was not fame, but a good reputation in the aristocratic circle.

Looking back, even Christine, who was still inexperienced and stubborn at the time, knew that what a bad guy needs most is a good person.

Then how could the Deep Forest Nobles, who have become savvy after being tempered by high-intensity combat, not know this truth?

Therefore, even in a life-and-death royal struggle, those who are willing to show mercy and spare others' lives can often have a better outcome, even if they fail in the end, at least they will not lose their heads.

Well, now that these two people have made great contributions to the kingdom, the second prince has put aside his past grudges and has given his all to praise and support them regardless of their identities and positions.

What is this called?

This is called considering the overall situation!

This is called generosity, putting the interests of the kingdom above one's own!

To put it bluntly, the principle behind Erzi's operation is actually similar to Ji Ming's.

Everyone needs a good person in their circle of friends, regardless of whether he is a good person or not, the second prince is targeting this ecological niche.

And no matter whether the third prince can see his purpose or not, this is already an open conspiracy, a conspiracy that forces the third prince to make up his mind.

Because since even his opponents support him so much, then as the master, in order to win the support of the people, he can only and must increase his efforts and must win over the second one no matter what.

The third prince: Damn it, you want to embarrass me, right? I’ll follow you!

So the third brother began to use his connections in China to help Christine and Feng En, trying to find a better reward for them.

In order to match his second brother's boasting in public, he even gave her his own kingdom's knights, of which only a thousand were left, under the pretext of "rewarding Christine's spirit of sacrifice", also gaining a reputation for being generous.

Of course, it was indeed generous. After all, with this group of elite knights, Christine's rights, etc., exchanged for the Glowing Kingdom, were enough to almost beat the little tyrant of the southern border, Earl Yanshan, by three streets.

In this way, both sides gradually increased the stakes, and finally reached an outcome in which one person became an earl and the other a viscount, and both of them got fiefdoms and became powerful aristocrats.

However, although the Third Prince, who was the biggest enemy, put in a lot of effort in it, and suffered heavy losses in the country after losing many soldiers and generals, it was actually not without benefits.

Because while he was doing everything, he did not forget to market his personal IP through storytelling, and he promoted how he bravely broke through and led the Duke's coalition to rescue the heroes.

You have to understand that the people of the Deep Forest love such "epic" legendary stories the most. The name "Third Prince Aglo Lionheart" spread throughout the Deep Forest at an extremely fast speed, and even to Huiguang.

Therefore, if public support can be digitized, then his support has increased by at least one percentage point, which is a huge step forward in this death race called power.

So the second brother got a good reputation, the third brother got a good name, and the person involved got fame. Interestingly, this fight between the princes unexpectedly achieved a win-win-win outcome.

However, if we zoom out from this incident and expand it to the macro situation, things are not so perfect for the parties involved.

At the very least, because the second prince's fiefdom is rich in magic crystals and the third prince's fiefdom is rich in mithril, their factions are respectively called the Magic Crystal Faction and the Mithril Faction.

Because of this major event, Christine and Feng En, whose careers will be marked with the "Mithril" emblem for the rest of their lives, will inexplicably have a large group of enemies in the kingdom in the future.

Although the overt targeting may not be very fierce, but considering the fine tradition from the ancestral king, when attending a noble banquet, someone might secretly step on your feet as revenge.

Feng En: No, it's clear that I'm the only one who will be stepped on! Because no one would be willing to step on a horse's hoof, unless he has a body of iron that is not afraid of being kicked!

But is this important to the parties involved?

It’s not important. At least they have enough welfare, so they pretend it’s not important on the surface.

But secretly, under the pretext of "traveling with family", Viscount von En passed by Count Christian's fiefdom as if nothing had happened.

"Welcome, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

It didn't need to be very big originally, but because there was a giant horse, it had to be very large for three people to sit in the conference room.

After going through so much, even a pig would have grown up, so Christine is no longer the lonely Minister of Taxation of the Chamber of Commerce who did not even have a reliable adviser.

Now she has Shuang and her adjutant, a leadership team consisting of three people in total. They can discuss daily matters together.

Although it is still a weak platform, it has the advantage of unity and good understanding, so at least we can be relaxed when discussing.

Well now, this small group that is trying to gain a foothold in the midst of a storm is apparently about to welcome its fourth member.

While they were plotting their next move behind closed doors, on the other side, Pemos Khan also led his army back to the grassland.

Because there are many tribes on the grassland and most of them have the habit of living by following water and grass, the Khan’s method of recruiting soldiers is mainly conscription.

That is, every year each tribe had to send a corresponding number of warriors to participate in the great expedition to the grassland, and return with honor or in coffins.

It doesn't sound like a big deal, because the evil villains in those stories seem to like this method of sharing the burden the most.

But the difference is that the royal court did not spread all the burdens, because while recruiting soldiers, they would also continue to pay subsidies according to the amount allocated to each tribe.

This subsidy includes money to purchase training equipment, money to supplement nutrition, money to make up for the decrease in family income due to training and fighting, and money to purchase qualified equipment when officially going to war.

Even if due to various changes, the conscripts were unable to gather a complete set of equipment when going to the expedition, the royal court could temporarily provide them with some, and then repay them with military merits and spoils of war, thus avoiding the embarrassment of the soldiers being without swords.

All these things made Ji Ming ask the boss again and again when he was researching things about the Beimos Grassland, "Are you sure this big lion is not a time traveler?"

The young boss also checked the world's laws and destiny again and again, repeatedly confirming whether Pemos Khan was the native life form of the Yangyue World.

The final conclusion is "yes", and not only "yes", he has not yet come into contact with any substantial savior legacy.

Then there is only one possibility - Pemos Khan Xilidege, he is really a tough guy sent from heaven.

Therefore, although the third prince was allowed to successfully plunder several border tribes and was not executed on the spot in the end, this did not in the slightest diminish the Khan's lofty prestige and ruling power.

And strictly speaking, judging from the gains and losses in this war, the Pemos Khanate could not be considered to have lost, and it could even be argued that it had several winning points.

Firstly, thanks to the swift and powerful pursuit, they not only recovered the losses of the various tribes, but also plundered a lot of supplies from the Third Prince's army. Otherwise, this little bastard would not have collapsed after only seven days of defense.

Moreover, although those border tribes suffered losses, it was mainly because the wind and snow caused their migration to be too slow. Now that the royal court has taken the initiative to compensate them with part of the spoils, how could they have any objections?

The second is that, in the subsequent battle with the third prince, although it was the grassland people who voluntarily retreated, while avoiding greater casualties, it also successfully cut off the opponent's channels to recover the thousands of captives, and successfully returned to the grassland with so many strong laborers.

There is a saying that if you save the people but lose the land, both the people and the land will be saved; if you save the land but lose the people, both the people and the land will be lost. What the people of the grassland care most about is the gain and loss of population, so naturally they will not put pressure on the Khan on this matter.

But the grassland people were happy, but the prisoners of war, who numbered more than 7,000 after being counted, were numb.

Because according to the legend of the border troops, every captured Deep Forester will not have a good end.

The strong ones would be sent to mines and ranches to do hard labor until they died of exhaustion, while the weak ones would be sent to villages to be slaves until they died of disgust.

The unlucky ones would be used as experimental subjects to study how to deal with the Deep Forest People. They would be locked in cages and tortured to death with various tools.

But the most terrifying thing is that because of his good health, he was captured by a female pigman who was full of energy and particularly liked humans...

Of course, none of the above horror stories have been witnessed by the people of the deep forest.

But what they all know is that Pemos Khan, the damn golden lion man, can control minds!

Because this has happened more than once or twice. It is clear that the deep forest warriors who were extremely steadfast before, when they reappeared after being captured by Pemos, had already joined the enemy camp.

And just join if you want. They look more excited than the grassland people. Except that they are not as decisive as them in using knives, they are just grassland people in forest skins.

The most fatal thing is that they don't use the knife not because their knives are soft, but because they want to keep shouting beside you.

"You have all been deceived by the Deep Forest nobles. They will not give you any benefits if you fight hard here!"

"Only if the war ends soon can everyone live a good life. If the war continues, only the nobles will benefit!"

This made the Deep Forest Warriors very angry, and after being angry they were also very scared.

——What did the grassland people do to them? Why did they have such strange ideas?

The fear is deeply rooted as similar incidents happen again and again, making them like frightened birds...

It was the first time I saw my admired senior being raped by a weirdo with tentacles... er, anyway, a magical girl who had gone evil.

But now, this fear has finally become reality, because they have become the magical girl who was captured into the Miaomiao House.

"Brother, what should I do?"

"I don't know. Why don't you ask your second brother?"

"Don't be afraid little brother, it will be the same even if you turn off the lights. Come on!"

Thousands of prisoners of war were led by the grassland people to a valley with many buildings, and then...

Then there is no more.

Except for the grassland people guarding outside the valley, they were like a group of cattle and sheep, being grazed here with nothing to do for seven days.

Uh, let’s put it in play…

Of course, there were warriors who tried to escape during this period, but they were all captured by the grassland people without exception.

"It's over! Big brother, our legion commander has also been arrested. He is a warrior professional at level 40."

"Hey, I'm afraid someone is really going to die this time... Second brother, what do you think?"

"Don't be afraid, little brother. You are so beautiful. There will be many pig girls vying for you. You must remember to help us when the time comes."

It was understandable that the prisoners would panic, because even in the deep forest, a few fugitives like this would be picked out and hanged as a warning to others.

But the fact is that they did not do that. Instead, they were just locked up in a single room nearby and given the simplest house arrest punishment.

This outrageous behavior made the prisoners in the deep forest even more uneasy, but they could neither escape nor die, so they could only stay there peacefully.

Finally, on the eighth day after being imprisoned in the prisoner-of-war camp, on a quiet morning, the grassland people gathered them all on the playground.

"Wow, oh, oh, brother, I don't want to die."

"It's okay. When the knife comes, I'll take it for you. At worst, we can go together!"

"Brother, I don't think you can replace her, because that pig girl definitely likes me more..."

"No, second brother, I know you are a monster, but can you please stop talking about this matter? Look how scared the little one is?"

"Okay... Oh, by the way, little brother, I suddenly remembered that my family has an ancestral recipe for nourishing the kidneys. Remember it..."

"Ah! (The unbearable cry)"
