1265 Weakened troops
In the main hall of the Flame Wind Palace, the dignified aura spread.
Seeing that General Qin was controlled, the guards behind did not dare to move, and the Minister of Finance, who was originally running away, also seemed to be frightened and sat weakly in place.
- So, how mediocre and incompetent was the former "young master"?
Feeling the burning anger on the other party's body, Lin Chi's expression also became serious, and he asked softly, "So, this is the reason for your betrayal?" β
"For the sake of ...... This piece ...... Land, I can give everything! β
Zhao Luo's eyes were red and his mouth was full of blood, as if he was an evil ghost who had fallen into hell: "Flamewind City doesn't need an incompetent lord like you!" β
"This ...... It's nothing to do with me......" The Chancellor of the Exchequer stepped back and waved his hand vigorously, trying to distance himself from it.
Faced with the assassin's questioning, Lin Chi chuckled, but accepted the other party's accusation very calmly:
"You're right, I admit that the former 'Young Master' was indeed an incompetent faint king."
ββWhen he saw the mountains of documents piled up in the young master's room, Lin Chi had already noticed the laziness of the young master: the guy he was "playing" didn't read those documents at all, and just threw all the bills that should be dealt with in the room.
The young lord before his "arrival" was just the kind of puppet ruler that was common in ancient times. It is indeed very inappropriate for this lazy little child to rule Flamewind City.
It is precisely because of this that the henchmen around the Chancellor of the Exchequer will formulate a plan to assassinate the young master on their own initiative.
From Flamewind City's point of view, assassinating the young master is also completely reasonable. But now, the situation is different:
Standing in front of Zhao Luo, the young master raised the invisible dark sword, and his gestures were full of decisiveness and resoluteness:
"I can understand your anger. But now I am no longer the 'me' I used to be. β
"Uh......"
Zhao Luo, who had lost too much blood, his eyes had begun to drift, his body was constantly spasming, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.
"You can rest in peace, because now I will lead the Flamewind Army to victory."
After finishing speaking, the young master took up his knife and cut off Zhao Luo's head, and the assassin who had been in pain finally got permanent relief.
ββ¦β¦β
The hall was unusually silent, and the heartbeat of everyone could almost be heard.
Lin Chi, who had executed the assassin, stepped forward slowly, and with a wave of his hand, the black mist around General Qin suddenly dissipated.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Chi came to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, bent down beside the fat man, and ...... Extend your left hand.
"Can you stand up?" Lin Chi asked.
"Thank you, young master." The Chancellor of the Exchequer stood up tremblingly and looked at Zhao Luo's body in a bit of a panic: "He's just my bodyguard, I don't know anything......"
"I didn't mean to blame you." Lin Chi smiled, and then suddenly lowered his voice: "Trouble comes from the mouth, you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the future." β
"I, I see." The Chancellor's voice was still shaking.
"I read all the documents last night, and I'll give you instructions later to take the body away and let everyone else come to the main hall." Lin Chi said as he put away the dark sword and turned around and walked towards the metal throne.
It wasn't until he returned to the throne that the soldiers who were still in a daze finally woke up like a dream and carried away Zhao Luo's body. Just as General Qin was about to turn around and leave, Lin Chi stopped the other party again:
"Don't forget to remove the mechanism from the corpse, wash it and send it to me."
"Got it, young master." General Qin nodded.
"Let all the generals come to the Flame Wind Palace in the afternoon, I want to meet them."
Lin Chi continued to give orders, but saw that General Qin looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, so he asked, "What's wrong?" β
"I have a question, young master." General Qin whispered, "What was the black fog just now?" And your weapons...... Is it invisible? β
"It's a secret, step aside."
"Yes, young master."
General Qin bowed again and turned around and left the main hall with the soldiers.
After everyone left, the main entrance of the Flame Wind Palace closed again, and the black mist that had previously controlled General Qin reappeared, condensing into a white-clothed human form.
"Master, is it really okay to just let the mastermind behind the scenes leave?" Moria's voice was questioning.
"It's okay, I still need him for the time being." Lin Chi smiled: "In addition, I have other things to deal with." β
Before the words fell, a task prompt had popped up in Lin Chi's sight:
The quest "Ruler of Flamewind City" has been completed.
When you have "Lordship Mode (Level 1)" enabled, you can check the status of your army and internal affairs while you are in the Lord's Seat, and you can quickly issue orders through the herald.
Seeing that he had obtained a new skill, Lin Chi also immediately opened the skill bar and opened the level 1 lord mode, and the situation of the army in Flamewind City immediately turned into specific data in front of him:
Flame Wind.
Current population: 4275.
General morale: depressed.
Overall grain and grass situation: relatively sufficient.
After checking the general situation, Lin Chi began to review the specific situation of the troops, and the specific distribution of the Flame Wind Army's troops appeared in front of him:
Flame Wind Army's "Trap Regiment" Slaughter Troops:
Commander: "Flame Slayer" Silverfrost.
Current population: 812
Morale Status: Depressed mood.
Grain and grass status: insufficient.
β¦β¦
Flame Wind Alien Knights:
Commander: Grand Knight Hydemeier.
Current number: 59.
Morale Status: Depressed mood.
Grain and grass condition: relatively sufficient.
β¦β¦
Flame Wind Lord Guard:
Command: Ren You.
Current number: 37.
Morale Status: Depressed mood.
Grain and grass condition: relatively sufficient.
β¦β¦
Flamewind Hussar Legion.
Command: Not available.
Current population: 247.
Morale Status: Depressed mood.
Grain and grass status: insufficient.
β¦β¦
Archer of the Flamewind Army.
Commander: Huo Fang.
Current population: 459.
Morale Status: Depressed mood.
Grain and grass status: insufficient.
β¦β¦
"Don't you have a high-morale army?" Lin Chi complained.
The situation of the remaining armies is basically similar to the troops above. Perhaps because of the young master, all the armies are currently in a state of low morale, and if a battle suddenly breaks out, I am afraid that it will be directly finished.
Although he has taken back control of Flamewind City, this city is still in a state of "a hundred ruins to be rebuilt", and since the young master has been passively slacking off, the internal affairs of Flamewind City should not be optimistic.
"I hate dealing with these internal affairs ......," Lin Chi muttered.
"Young Master, it is very necessary for you to revive the morale of the army now." Shen Wenchong reminded: "If this continues, there will be deserters and traitors in the Flame Wind Army. β
"I know." Lin Chi sighed: "This is also the lord's responsibility, I will try my best." β
