Chapter 55: Tranquility and Cherishment

On June 15, 135 years of the new calendar, Teng Yan's coalition army was attacked by the Xiaohu family coalition army and retreated one after another, and had to retreat to Yaolin City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoOn the 18th of the same month, Xiaohu Liantong launched a third wave of offensive against Chunshan City, which was defeated by Tengyuan again.

Teng Yuan went on the defensive as soon as the war began, so the attrition of his troops was not very large. The situation on Tengyan's side is more critical, according to the coalition army guarding Yaolin City, there are less than 50,000 people left, people are sleepy and horses are lacking, and food, grass and ammunition can only last for three months at most. After besieging Yaolin City, Xiaohu divided their families and decided to say that whoever broke the city first would belong to Yaolin City.

In order to obtain Yaolin City, each branch gathered more than 300,000 troops and launched a fierce attack on Yaolin City from multiple directions. By the end of June, the defenders of Yaolin had been reduced to 30,000, but the enemy had not been able to break through the city.

Teng Yan managed to send a messenger to urge Maier to send his troops as soon as possible. At the beginning of July, the 55,000 allied troops under Mel were reorganized and marched in the direction of Yaolin City.

At the same time that the army was marching towards Yaolin City, the Ilibi allies and the Dugu Kingdom around Xiaohu's house responded to the call of their allies and sent troops to Xiaohu's house. Xiaohu Liantong had already learned of the neighboring country's intention to send troops, so he also contacted the Tairong nobles early on, hoping to expand the war to the racial level and launch a racial all-out war.

The Tairong nobles don't want to wade into this muddy water, but Xiaohu Liantong has already sent spies to incite the people in the territory and provoke the relationship between the Tairong people, the Ilibi people, and the Dugu people. The Tairong nobles could not withstand the pressure of the people, so they could only agree to the request of Xiaohu Lake to connect. However, the all-out war of the races officially broke out, and that was already at the end of August 135 of the new calendar.

After the entry of the Ilibi Army and the Dugu Army, the main force of the Xiaohu Army could not hold out, and only sent light cavalry to attack the enemy's supply lines, and carried out several night attacks on the enemy. Under the pressure of the supply line, the Ilibi army and the Dugu army had to slow down their advance and prepare to besiege the town of Xiaohujia.

By the time Myr's army arrived at the city of Yaolin, it was July 23. He followed Salin's advice and set up camp on a high ground near the water behind the Xiaohu army. When the Xiaohu army saw Teng Yan's reinforcements coming, they could only abandon the siege and divide the army into two parts. Some were responsible for guarding against the defenders of Yaolin City, while the other part turned the spearhead and prepared to use the superiority in strength to destroy Myr's army.

The Xiaohu Army, which was responsible for dealing with Meier, had about 200,000 troops. Salin analyzed that the Xiaohu army has the advantage of troops, but the logistical pressure is also very high, and they should take the initiative to seek a decisive battle with their own side, and then continue to attack Yaolin City. So now Maier has two choices, he can fight the Xiaohu army in a decisive battle, or choose to delay the time.

Yan He suggested that Maier fight a decisive battle, and she thought that the Xiaohu army would not be able to attack Yaolin City for a long time, and when she saw the enemy's reinforcements, her morale must have been very damaged. As long as Maier seized this opportunity, they would be able to defeat the Xiaohu army outside Yaolin City in one fell swoop. Salin also suggested a decisive battle with Meier, who had different considerations than Yanhe. Salin believes that after the Ilibi Alliance enters the war, the Xiaohu Connection is likely to expand the war into a full-scale racial war, and the Xiaohu family will be supported by other Taiyong forces. At that time, the morale of the Xiaohu Army will be greatly boosted by the all-out war of the race and the support of the Allied forces, and it will become difficult to deal with.

Maier adopted the advice of the two and decided to start a decisive battle with the Xiaohu army outside Yaolin City in three days.

At the same time, the central residential area of Byronsburg.

After Kamijin Shrine was betrayed to Maier by the long shrine maidens, Lingyu gathered the shrine maidens of Kamijin Shrine for retraining. The number of shrine maidens at Kamijin Shrine is not large, and there are only more than 1,200 of them including apprentice shrine maidens. Maier is going to merge Kamijin Shrine into a new shrine, so that the great witch of Zhenxin will not be able to continue.

But she didn't mind at all. After being abandoned by the long witch who supported her to ascend the throne, she stayed in Byronsburg, walking east and west every day, playing in the south and exploring in the north, and she was very happy. Every evening when she returned to the abode that Maier had prepared for her, she would always carry a large number of gifts that people had given her, including food, play, and usefulness.

Zhenxin is a shrine maiden from a very high level, and when he heals the wounded, the wounded don't even feel pain. She also likes to sing, the lyrics and songs are all made up by her, she sings what she sees, and forgets it when she finishes singing. Zhenxin is especially fond of children, and often appears in the children's pile in gorgeous shrine maiden costumes to play with them.

Jane's favorite place to go is the residence of Mel's wives and concubines. Because the wives and concubines all have big bellies, Zhenxin often lies on their stomachs and listens to the sounds made by the fetus, and she is very excited every time.

Zhen Xin is not the only idler in Byronsburg. After the three families were willing to accept the improvements, Anjie, who was sent by Ramogis to help, had nothing to do but wander around Byronsburg. In terms of the qualifications of idlers, An Jie is a cherished predecessor. Sometimes An Jie will take Zhenxin out to play together, and when she comes and goes, Zhenxin regards An Jie as a friend.

"Is Sister Xiaoxiao really Ira's shrine maiden?"

In Xiaoxiao's residence, Xiaoxiao rested on the bed with Qiqi and Xiaoye, Zhenxin and An Jie sat on the chair next to the bed, the former gently stroked Xiaoxiao's belly, and asked such a question.

"Of course." Xiaoxiao nodded, "Although I haven't received a formal shrine maiden education, it should be correct in terms of procedures." ā€

"But Ira's shrine maiden can't get pregnant, but Sister Xiaoxiao is pregnant?"

"Hah...... This one...... I can't explain this kind of thing. Xiaoxiao smiled helplessly, "But I don't think everything is absolute, I should belong to that exception, right?" ā€

"Speaking of which, there are many such exceptions around the Lord-Husband."

Kiki took over the conversation and touched Xiao Ye's belly.

"Xiao Ye is obviously from Ira, but he has a talent for Leyting's magic. I've heard that Miss Ista's parents are ordinary people, but she has a gift for Leytin's magic, neither of which would seem impossible to ordinary people. ā€

"Hmm......"

Xiao Ye was a little embarrassed by what Qiqi said, and lowered her head shyly. Xiaoxiao's arm straddled Qiqi's head and touched Xiaoye's head dotingly.

"What's more, Maier is obviously a Lighting magician, but he got all his women pregnant at once, which is impossible in the eyes of ordinary people."

"Actually, when I think about it, I still feel like I'm in a dream."

Kiki leaned her head on Xiaoxiao's arm and said with emotion.

"Lord-husband, he was just a bounty hunter two years ago, but now he has become a lord who can mobilize thousands of troops, and he has so many wives and concubines that even children are about to be born."

"Huh?!"

Kiki's words made Anjie, who had not spoken, let out a sound of surprise, she had very limited knowledge of Myer, and she had no idea that Maier was a bounty hunter two years ago.

"But...... But isn't Lord Maier, the eldest son of a celebrity? ā€

"Even if you are the eldest son of a celebrity, it is impossible to get these in two years." Xiaoxiao shrugged his shoulders, "And Meier didn't deliberately pursue these things at all, he just got them naturally." Perhaps, as Lord Lingyu said, Maier is really the 'Chosen One', carrying the mission that God has given him. ā€

"Oh......"

Zhen Xin sighed inexplicably, and Shui Lingling's big eyes blinked twice.

"Anyway, Mistress Meyer is pretty good, isn't he?"

The three expectant mothers on the bed smiled but did not answer.

The five of them chatted briefly for a while, and the three expectant mothers began to feel sleepy. An Jie didn't want to disturb their rest, so she left Xiaoxiao's residence with her cherished heart. After this, the two went to Urris's residence. Yishan and Alice were there, and the three of them were resting on the bed as they laughed at them.

When Euris saw An Jie coming, she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. An Jie also ignored her, and together with Zhenxin, chatted with Yishan and Alice. The four of them chatted for a while, and Euris couldn't hold back anymore and joined in.

"Speaking of which, I don't seem to have seen you chatting with that lady named He Yanxinye." An Jie asked casually, "Is there any contradiction between you?" ā€

An Jie's question made the three of them show embarrassed expressions. They don't have any contradictions with Yan Xinye, but the embarrassing identity of He Yan Xinye is there. She is not Maier's real wife, and when she gives birth to a child and the child is weaned again, he will tell her to go back to her parents' house, after which she will be divorced by Maier and never return.

In order to avoid embarrassment, everyone tried their best to avoid meeting her. He Yan Xinye also thought so, so she would not take the initiative to meet Maier's wife and concubine. Therefore, after Maier and He Yanxin held a wedding, the wives and concubines did not interact with He Yanxin night.

"I went to Sister Xinye the day before yesterday, and I felt that she was very lonely."

Zhenxin and Yan Xinye are the same age, and their birthdays are also the same month. But he and Yan Xinye are married and more mature, so Zhenxin will call her sister.

"I asked Sister Xinye why she didn't come to play with you, and she said she liked to be alone."

Zhenxin's words alleviated the awkward atmosphere of the scene and made the expectant mothers on the bed breathe a sigh of relief. Since she heard something about Mel on Xiaoxiao's side, Zhenxin couldn't help but ask about him here.

"Hah...... Speaking of which, when he first came to Liangyue City, he was indeed a bounty hunter. Yishan said depressedly, "If I hadn't asked him to change careers and become a businessman, how could Maier have so many women." ā€

Yishan's words made Euris roll her eyes and said in a weird way.

"And I have to thank you, right?"

"Do you think you don't have to thank me?"

"Why should I thank you?" Euris smiled disdainfully, "If it weren't for my help, you could have gotten pregnant so early?" ā€

"How can you be sure I got pregnant that night?" Yishan retorted unconvinced, "It's only a few days away in total, maybe it was conceived on the wedding day?" ā€

"Anyway, we were all conceived on the first night, and if you have to say that you were conceived on your wedding day, then it proves that your belly is not as angry as ours?"

"You-"

Since the day the two met, Yishan has never won a war of words. She gritted her teeth and tried to grab Euris's ear, but she knew that it might hurt Euris's baby, so she could only stare at Euris angrily.

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise." Alice, whose eyes were half-open because of sleepiness, said slowly, "Everyone is a good sister, and it is ...... to help each other."

At this point, Alice's head drooped and fell asleep.

When An Jie saw that Alice was asleep, she stopped disturbing the three of them, left Urris's residence with Zhenxin, and went to the residence of He Yanxin.

On the way, Zhenxin said to An Jie.

"Sister Anjie, let's not disturb Sister Xinye's rest, right?"

"Huh?"

"Speaking of which, we shouldn't go to Sister Ulis to disturb them after they have rested...... I'm not wrong, right? ā€

"Uh...... ...... true"

An Jie avoided her gaze with a weak heart, in fact, she was curious about him after hearing about Maier, so she wanted to continue to ask his wives and concubines about him. Mel did not tell the wives and concubines that Ramorgis had given him Anjie as a wife, because he had never thought of marrying Anjie.

At first, An Jie thought it was a good thing, but it didn't take long for her heart to become unbalanced. She felt that she was excellent everywhere, but Mel did not even hesitate to give up on her, and did not seem to look at herself at all, which annoyed her a little. So after the master of the three schools of thought accepted the improvement, she never saw Maier, wanting to take revenge on him in this way. But Mel didn't care at all, and didn't even ask Euris about Anjie, which made Anjie even more annoyed. In order to distract herself, An Jie began to wander around, and took Zhenxin out to play after she came to Byronsburg.

Just as An Jie was thinking about how to explain to Zhenxin, Yu Mingli, who looked tired, appeared in front of the two.
