"It is actually an honor to be able to share the worries of the sect leader. If it weren't for the Prophet of Unknown Sect Leader, who understood that the aging Jock IX was greedy for immortality, and then led his followers to become monks, so that he believed in the words of reincarnation, his subordinates and followers would not have been able to achieve such an achievement. The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with excitement, but he didn't dare to excite himself.
"Words of reincarnation? There is hope for people in life, so why do we need the afterlife? The old monk said disapprerovingly, a cold light flashed from the bottom of his eyes, showing his great ambition, "My mother-in-law has endured it for so long, just to achieve today's great cause." The army was raised for months, and it was kept hidden, also to deal a fatal blow to Jock IX. One day, the entire continent will come under the rule of my mother-in-law! ”

At the same time, it was similar to the situation when the Admiral of the Nine Gates came to play in a hurry before-In the Mu Xue Pavilion, the Blue Moon Queen was playing chess leisurely with one of the archbishops of the Temple of Light, and no one dared to disturb him, but now the biggest difference was that there was a woman beside the two, one was Concubine Ji Xue, and the other was Li Yiyi of the Mirror Flower Pavilion.
The game was undecided, but I saw the queen suddenly push the chessboard away and said with a smile: "Lost again!" I found that I used to win occasionally, but most of them were deliberately let by the bishop. ”
"The reason why it is difficult for His Majesty to win a game today is because he is riddled with many troubles, and it is difficult to be calm." The archbishop laughed along.
"Sitting on a high position, although you can look down on all living beings, but you can't really call the wind and rain like a god, how can there be no worries?" The queen smiled bitterly, and for some reason, she suddenly remembered the man who was far away in the north.
"His Majesty's troubles are indeed difficult for my generation to understand." The archbishop smiled.
The archbishop's meaningful smile made the queen's cheeks blush, and she sorted out her feelings. "There is nothing to worry about in terms of war. On the contrary, it is the shape of the current Bo Yingte. I'm afraid they'll add some more trouble to me. ”
"Speaking of which, I really have to thank Your Majesty. The five archbishops of the main hall also serve as priests, among which Cherokin is in charge of all the affairs of the Jingtang Guoguang Temple, I am in charge of the related matters of the Blue Moon, and the other three bishops also have designated areas of responsibility. Everyone has done their part, and the water from the well has always been untouchable, but since the sudden death of the Pope (the supreme head of the Temple of Light) two years ago, the succession has been in the air. Inside the temple. The fighting continued, and various forces also intervened. In order to get the pope, Cherokin did not hesitate to collude with Finev V and willingly became his pawn. For more than a year, he has relied on the support of Fein V to continue to infiltrate his forces everywhere, and the Temple of Light, where the Blue Moon is located, has borne the brunt. If it weren't for General Feng-Huaming's defeat of the Jingtang army, I don't know when he would have relented a little. The archbishop sighed and said.
"The bishop had praised it if it had not been for the collusion of people with intentions. How could Cherokin threaten the Bishop's authority in the Blue Moon? The queen shook her head with great feeling, and said, "The only way to do this is to root up the forces of the collaborators in the country." In order to never be foolish. ”
"Your Majesty. I have found out that the wedding banquet in the Lei Du Mansion changed in the middle of the process, and it was deliberately done by Chenokin in order to compete with the God of War Temple for influence in the Qin Tribe. The newlyweds in the Raidoo Mansion who have disappeared have passed through the Temple of the God of War and finally fell into the hands of Chenokin. It seems that he wants to cultivate a new force in the Qin Sect, which has never entered the Temple of Light. If it weren't for the reinforcements hidden in the Blue Moon, he would never have snatched the newlyweds from the hands of the God of War Temple. The archbishop nodded noncommittally.
"Foxes will always show their tails! Wait patiently, there will definitely be greater gains. Lei Shi blatantly colluded with the Qin Department, but he was so calculated. Now that he has lost his wife and broken his army, he is also to blame. The death of Thunder Leopard, also related to Cherokin? ”
"No, it was the God of War Temple, and as for the person behind the scenes, it should be Prime Minister Carlo."
"Yiyi, is it true?" The queen turned to Li Yiyi.
"Indeed, as the Bishop said, the God of War Temple has a close relationship with Prime Minister Carlo, and the Ninth Aunt of the Mirror Flower Pavilion is the leader of the God of War Temple and the Prime Minister. The ambition of the Temple of the God of War is obviously better than that of the Prime Minister, and it has caused the Sidi army to defect? The sneak attack on the Qin envoy was all done secretly by the God of War Temple. Li Yiyi expected the queen to have this question, and the answer was fluent.
"Sneak attack on the Qin Department? Hmph, thought that would save me from suspicion? The queen sneered and continued to ask, "Is there any evidence?" ”
"Yiyi has been entrusted with the burden of sneaking into the Temple of the God of War for so long, but there is no progress. If it weren't for the fact that Si Colo was subdued by His Majesty, I'm afraid Yiyi would know even less. Li Yiyi looked quite remorseful.
"It's none of your business, I'll clean them up sooner or later." The queen waved her hand and looked at Concubine Ji Xue again, obviously wanting to find conclusive evidence from her, but Concubine Ji Xue also shook her head helplessly, and the queen nodded helplessly.
Seeing that the queen did not mention the war at all, the archbishop was puzzled and asked, "Isn't Your Majesty worried about the war situation in Silk City?" ”
"Marshal Fei Doro's generation of god generals, with him in charge of the army, my Blue Moon Territory can be guaranteed." The queen smiled slightly and said, "And the progress of General Feng-Huaming and Earl Xia Hua in the north and south has allowed me to free up my hands to deal with the problems at hand. The four northern countries, as well as the Karinkel Empire, are already too busy to take care of themselves at the moment, and there is no chance to continue to reinforce the enemies of Silk City, so why worry about skin? ”
Hearing this, Concubine Ji Xue glanced at the queen, suddenly showed a worried look, and said: "Your Majesty, according to the information collected by Weichen, the fact that Marshal Fei Yaoduoluo was secretly commanding the Battle of Silk City has been known to all forces. Majesty, do you see if it's ......?"
"No, I don't. The marshal is in the barracks and has his own army to protect him, who can help him? The queen waved her hand and said, "What I am most worried about is the situation in the country. After speaking, he looked up at the slightly dim sky, and gradually fell into deep thought......

The sun is shining, the night is approaching, at this time in a place on the border of the lark country, hundreds of thousands of horses galloped, the mixed and orderly sound of horses' hooves was deafening, and the heavens and the earth trembled.
This is the Yager prairie that traverses the Lark Country and the Runhorse Country, extending from the northeast corner of the Runhorse Country to the southwest of the Runk Country, covering an area of more than 400,000 square kilometers.
The lark country and galloping horse country on the Yager steppe are vast and sparsely populated, and the people live on nomadism all year round. The backward economy made the domestic nobles envy the luxurious life of the upper class of the Blue Moon, and the commoners yearned for the rich land of the empire, which was also the main reason why the two countries followed the Shukka Kingdom to use troops against the Blue Moon for many years.
"Wow! Finally out of this damn prairie! ”
With cheers, the horses stopped in front of the mountains.
This is already the end of the Jager steppe, and beyond the mountains, is the border of Pedoni. The mountains were steep, and there were hardly any horses to pass through, and Pedoni did not send a large army to garrison it, and it was empty and silent all around.
This group of people was the Blue Moon 100,000 army led by Rick, and after spending nearly a month in the Yager Prairie, they finally made it here. For nearly a month of grassland life, Rick cried out with regret. Now he just wants to find a big bed and sleep comfortably, and he has to endure mosquitoes every day, and he simply can't get tired of it. The hard life on the prairie drove Rick almost mad, and he vowed never to come to this ghost place where birds don't again.
After the sneak attack on Hugh Castle, the Blue Moon army left the Kingdom of Huca overnight, and three days later, entered the Galloping Horse Country, and traveled all the way along the Yager Prairie, which was like an endless ocean, and there was almost no human figure for several days along the way. If it weren't for Qiu Ranfei, who had been here, to lead the way, most of the army would have walked aimlessly.
In the Yager steppe, in the battle with Ben and Yun, Rick's army was not as invincible as the conquest of the Hukka Kingdom, and even fell behind in the head-on confrontation with the cavalry of the Galloping Horse Country at the beginning. The cavalry troops of the galloping horse country have tall horses, good endurance and strong impact, and the cavalry is even more superb in horsemanship and skilled in tactics. Rick's army could only take advantage of the only advantage of mobility, and barely managed to defeat it miserably.
Considering that the territory of Ben and Yun is composed of many tribes of all sizes, and the largest tribe is only 200,000 people, it is decided to divide the troops into two routes: a feint attack along the way to attract the main force of the enemy army to chase after them, and use the vastness of the Yager steppe to drag the enemy; Attack all the way, and take advantage of the opponent's main force to attack, inflicting a substantial blow to the enemy's ruling center.
This method of warfare was tried and tested, and although it could not be defeated, it reduced the casualties to a minimum. And with the increase in the number of battles between the Blue Moon Army and the cavalry of the galloping horse country, the strength of the cavalry of this side can compete with it after using a large number of high-quality war horses captured from the opponent.
As their tactics matured, by the time they began to engage the Skylark Cavalry head-on, the Blue Moon Army was able to win occasionally. Later, it became a complete iron cavalry that came and went without a trace, and in the process, the growth rate of the Sanfu Legion was the fastest. Slaughtering wheel training is one aspect, and the people of the Sanfu Legion have a lot of martial arts foundations, which is the main reason.
The poverty of the people of the Lark Kingdom and the Galloping Horse Country greatly exceeded Rick's imagination, and the luxury of the nobles was even greater than he expected. The average nobleman has at least thirty slaves, and almost all of the living utensils used are fine products on the mainland: tea sets from the Red Eagle Business Alliance, velvet silk fabrics, ceramics from the Blue Moon Empire, fine wine from Jingzhou, and so on. In addition to luxury, they take pleasure in killing people and plundering people, which is despised by others.
Rick was furious, not because of the nobles' lasciviousness, but because they actually enjoyed it better than him, so he unceremoniously confiscated all the nobles' property. To his great regret, Fuhua Money Village did not set up branches in the Skylark Country and the Galloping Horse Country. Seeing that most of the herders were living in poverty, Rick relented and distributed everything to them, but in the end he got nothing and was depressed. (To be continued......)
