The battle of the king's army was very smooth, much smoother than expected. Not only did they crush the armies of ordinary humans, leaving those enemy soldiers without any chance to organize an effective attack, but they even killed some enemy guardians together with the guardians of the western country.
This kind of record is basically within Zhou Shu's expected schedule, and there is not too much deviation. His highest and lowest expectations for this kind of thing are actually quite extreme, and he will not be too surprised to get a high result, and he feels normal when he encounters a big accident. The only thing that made him curious about the next thing was the casualties.
He didn't know how the marshal of the country's army would use these supermen, but after hearing about it, he always felt that it was a very dangerous job. Coupled with the battle against the Guardian God later, Zhou Shu felt that the death figure was around one hundred and fifty was a more acceptable range, but this referred to himself. If it was Tiddlelem, she probably wouldn't be able to accept it. A third of the team of five hundred men was gone at once, and the joy she had felt during the previous inquiry was about to disappear.
It turns out that Zhou Shu is indeed a person who is more accustomed to thinking about things in the worst way, and the casualties of the Kingdom Army are very small, mainly due to the fact that they pretend to be dead better, plus the armor on their bodies is thicker.
It's normal to kill an enemy on the battlefield and then replenish the knife, but when surrounded by enemies, the act of mending a person who is wrapped in iron armor from head to toe is no different from smashing walnuts on the battlefield and eating them, and few people will do this, so playing dead has become a successful trick for this team.
Tiddlelem seemed to have swallowed his heart back when he heard the casualty figures, and he could truly put on a happy expression.
Master Zhou hopes to be able to experience the joy of victory in the war through Guò this time, so that this guy likes to fight. It's not a good thing, but it helps her get tough. At present, the fifty-year covenant has not been skimmed, but Zhou Shu feels that his work here has been carried out a lot, as long as he waits for this woman to become the true queen. When the time comes, he will have the ability to influence the country through her.
Zhou Shu now positions himself as a stumbling victim to the country and the people, and he is too lazy to find a legitimate excuse for his actions. If it had been before, he would have comforted himself by saying things like, 'I'm doing this so that people here don't clash with magicians in fifty years'. It's not necessary anymore, it's a kind of maturity. It's a kind of broken jar and broken.
Seeing Tiddlelem happily over there looking like he wanted to find a place to jump, but he had to stand up for it because of his status as a queen, Zhou Shu thanked the people who reported the news as a hero and asked them to go down, and then it was time for him to be alone with the queen.
As expected, Tiddlerum does have some small physical movements when he is excited. Her hands swayed up and down rapidly, as if they were tapping on something, a very common gesture to express excitement.
"Have you figured out how to welcome your army back from victory?" Zhou Shu reminded her with a smile. There are serious things to plan.
The King's Army is now incapacitated. Their jelly beans have been eaten up, and the strengthening moves are probably almost used, and they must return to Master Zhou to replenish them, which is also agreed with the marshal.
If there was any Achilles' heel in this army, it was that they could not fight for a long time, and if unexpected reinforcements dragged the battle on, they would probably be annihilated. Even if they encounter enemy troops during the retreat, they probably have to escape, and how much they can run out at that time depends on their riding skills and luck.
Zhou Shu had already thought about what to use to reward those kings, but it was better to listen to Tiddlelem's attention first.
When Tiddlelem heard this, his whole person suddenly became unhappy. It seems to have been poured cold water on something terrible. Zhou Shu didn't know what he said wrong, and after asking, he realized that it was according to the merits of the king's army. All of them were eligible for knighthood, so that they could no longer fight as soldiers, and some of them would probably consider returning home. After all, these people are relatively old, and the average age in this country is less than forty years old.
After hearing this, Zhou Shu also felt that this was a problem, he couldn't have to promote a group of knights to come out every time he fought, right?
In fact, this problem is easy to solve, at least for Zhou Shu, but he is not sure whether he should use that method.
His Book of Summons is more than capable of handling these manpower issues, and perhaps not so perfectly. One of them needed to carry a magician's translator to communicate with the military, but it was a solution.
On the question of whether or not to show Tiddle his ability to transform into a human being. Zhou Shu hesitated.
The queen on the side thought that this loyal man was worried about the reward and the possible disbandment of the army, and her heart was warm. I think he is a person who can help him share his worries.
In fact, Zhou Shu did help her share her worries, but the level of the part that was not too much was much higher than expected.
In the end, the conclusion of the two is also very simple. In short, let's take a look at the situation of the team first, maybe people have a high consciousness and are willing to continue to help Her Majesty continue to fight as a small soldier.
Zhou Shu and Tiddlelem still made a mistake in the matter of the King's army, they underestimated one person, that is, the guy who was called the marshal, who was so old that he could die at any time.
A group of soldiers who quickly withdrew were summoned by Her Majesty the Queen two days later, and without saying a word, they directly expressed their willingness to temporarily give up the credit they had obtained and continue to contribute to the country's efforts to recapture the rivers and mountains.
After a little questioning, I found out that these people were called by the white-haired marshal to do psychological counseling after the war. I don't know how the old guy fooled him, anyway, these people have become what they are now.
"This is a marshal, it's completely a political commissar!"
After meeting with these people, Master Zhou and Tiddlerum hid in a small dark room to discuss things secretly.
Zhou Shu gave her, the queen of the queen, to run a newspaper, find a few pens to interview these soldiers, and spread their achievements. This helps to help shape the Queen's image.
Tiddlelime also asked Zhou Shu with a bad heart, "Are you literate?"
"I'm illiterate!" replied Master Zhou with a righteous and awe-inspiring answer. It doesn't matter, anyway, in the White Moon Country, he is illiterate. It's not that I haven't been ridiculed.
Her Majesty said that her people were also largely illiterate. It didn't do any newsprint at all.
"Then find someone to write a story and run out into the street and sing it. "Zhou Shu can be regarded as having seen through it, this country and Baiyue Country are basically born from the same mother's womb, which is extremely similar.
This is a very good thing, and the court itself has something similar to that of a song and dance troupe and a theater troupe. As long as someone is ordered to write this kind of main theme drama and perform it among the aristocracy, the people will soon imitate it.
The matter of the King's Army was a relatively successful business for Zhou Shu in this country, half a month later, at the end of December. The deeds of this army have been talked about all over the world.
Zhou Shu helped the gang re-strengthen, gave them two portions of sugar, and helped them explore the difficulty of the battlefield. After making sure that there was no moon god around, the men set out again.
He also gave the King's Army an additional gift, a war horse produced by the White Moon Kingdom. The horses of the White Moon Kingdom are larger and more powerful than the South American horses, and the war horses are even stronger than those here. Although this thing can't help the king's army fight, after all, the combat strength of those people has reached the point where they don't need to rely on the power of horses, but it is still OK to ride back to the city to replenish after the battle.
In the past half a month, Zhou Shu returned to Baiyue Kingdom to live for a few days, mainly to find Aliusha. Let her help with that luna guy.
He told the witch about the special abilities of the moon god, and Alyusha was intrigued.
Time magic is a type of wishing magic, and it is considered the highest level of magic. Time is nothing more than a unit of measurement made by humans. There is no zài in itself, and this world is only the constant movement of matter. The so-called time reversal refers to the movement of matter in the entire universe back to a certain time. This kind of thing is impossible to do, and it requires a huge amount of energy, so large that the sum of the total energy of the lives of trillions of stars may not be enough.
It is very easy to turn the movement of a person's body, that is, the substance in the body, for a period of time, which is the legendary rejuvenation. Zhou Shu's time can be done by going back to jelly beans.
As for wishing magic, it's a very ingenious thing, a super-trick that can confuse the minds of all sapient beings. How exactly does the innate magic of the Luna God, a pseudo-god, use wishing magic to create a time turn? Even resurrecting the dead of Nati, a witch of Aleusha's level, has no way to understand. She could only guess that it had something to do with wishing magic.
Aleusha is already chasing the moon god all over the world, but it's still a little difficult for her, a witch, to find a rabbit.
Zhou Shu got tired of her eldest lady in the White Moon Kingdom for a few days, and then returned to the West Country to continue serving the other queens. A long-distance relationship is very painful, and the only girl who can blatantly flirt without any psychological baggage is on the other side of the distant Pacific Ocean, which is a bit tormenting for Zhou Shu.
Tiddlelem had recently taken on a little more majesty in her council, at least when the ministers had decided on matters she didn't know anything about, and they would ask her for her opinion, which had not been the case for some time.
"Everyone knows that my army is great, and they are starting to respect me!"
Tiddlelem had lunch with Zhou Shu again today, and she was in a good mood at the table, because there was a visiting local lord in the morning meeting, who offered to give more taxes to the royal family.
Zhou Shu stared at the mixed-race little beauty in front of him with a smile, he likes this guy very much now, but strictly speaking, he hates her with a straight face. This guy has a straightforward personality, and he doesn't know how to make an expression in front of Zhou Shu, so what does he have to say. If she keeps a straight face, it means that there is no good news, and on the contrary, it will naturally make people happy.
Tiddlelime suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his wording just now, and decisively corrected it, "It's our army, the two of us!"
He looked sweetly at the miracle given to her by God in front of him, that is, Zhou Shu himself, she herself secretly thought so. She couldn't think of any other word to describe her luck than miracles.
Zhou Shu is too lazy to avoid anything now when he sees her ** look. Anyway, he talked about the family, and Tiddle was not so degenerate as to rob someone else's husband. So her nymphomaniac appearance is probably a simple longing, and it can't be a big deal.
As far as the current war is concerned, Zhou Shu no longer goes deep into the enemy army and calls himself a soldier. He is a lazy man, and if he can experience the thrill of strategizing behind the scenes, he will never go to the battlefield to experience the thrill of swordsmanship. The main thing is that the latter is really not very comfortable.
Previously, the country of the west was beaten all the way to the capital by the army of the enemy country that had been prepared for a long time. In the past half a month, the brisk is basically about to be made up.
Tiddlelem seemed to have turned into a chatter in front of the week, and he was pinching his bread as he talked about what the spies had inquired about from the East Country.
"The East Country has been in trouble lately, and almost all the temples in their capital have been smashed overnight, and the Moon Temple is no exception. It seems that luck is really on our side, and I thought we were abandoned by God after the Crescent Harbor incident. ”
Zhou Shu knew that this was probably a good thing done by Aleusha. That woman is invincible in this world, even if the winter god who has forgotten all about being left in the South Pole or the North Pole, he can't beat her, a witch of heat and metal.
Aleusha didn't come with the news that she had caught the wanted rabbit. I didn't see him fight him or anything, it is estimated that the moon god was probably scared away by her, and Zhou Shu believed that this was a wise choice.
With the shrewdness of the moon god, it can be roughly determined that Aleusha is a difficult guy to fight with, so running away will be a new normal for him in the future, and it is estimated that this guy will have to run away for a while. That is, it is likely that he will not show his head again for a long time, which is a good thing for the current war.
In fact, no matter how many troops Zhou Shu has strengthened and how many jelly beans have been sent. As long as the moon god participates in the war, these people will be given away completely for nothing. It was impossible to do the rabbit the slightest harm. As long as he doesn't come to find trouble, Zhou Shu doesn't really care if the rabbit will be caught by Aleusha, he is a person who is easily satisfied-
It has been less than two months since Zhou Shu came to this crumbling country. The country has finally begun to return to its original peaceful life. Repulsed enemy troops, recaptured cities, returning refugees. Tiddlelem took back what his brother had thrown away, and the people naturally saw it, and the people's evaluation of the queen was changing.
The war has come to this point, and the generals of the West Country don't know how to make a move. The enemy army has basically retreated to the border line, and if it continues to pursue, it will be out of the country.
The borders between the two countries have always been in constant flux, and there have been cases where border residents change their nationality every three to five days. However, with the current strength of the West Country, it is completely capable of holding the enemy to the side of the border. Then they moved on, but the problem was that the sergeants didn't have much in-depth combat experience. No one is sure if they should really take advantage of the victory.
"Of course you have to chase!"
At the council, Tiddlelem was resolute. As a queen who was almost assassinated to death. She is a thorough warlord, insisting on fighting the enemy's hometown, capturing the enemy's royal family, and imprisoning them in a water prison to raise them for the rest of their lives.
Zhou Shu made a rare appearance in the council today, waiting beside the queen like a father-in-law, looking like a concubine with low eyebrows. He didn't really like to participate in this kind of thing, but in recent times, he had achieved some achievements in Dinglan's practice, and he had been able to reach one-third of the combat power of the Freedom Eagle. After you have the results, you will fall in love with continuing to study, everyone is like this, so Zhou Shu wants to continue to practice, and strive to send the free eagle, the tutor, to Bai Yueguo as soon as possible.
This would make him hear Tiddlelem's attitude, and he felt that he had made some progress in his training with the Queen, and the guy had become much tougher.
The generals listened to the queen's words and discussed it together. They said that it is not impossible to continue fighting, and the more important difficulty now is the issue of supply transportation, and the country of Nishinokuni has no experience in long-term operations, and the supply team may not be able to keep up.
It is very difficult for soldiers to say things like 'I won't fight', and when they say this, they probably don't really understand how to ensure logistics when the battle line is extended.
Master Zhou can't help with this, because he doesn't know, and he doesn't know anyone who understands this aspect of operation. Fighting a war is not a matter of cleverness, and it is not a matter of coming up with one or two taken for granted ideas that will lead to a big victory. Zhou Shu has only provided strength so far, and has not paid attention, for a very simple reason. He's not an expert, so there's no need to be smart.
Her Majesty is also well aware that she is a layman......
The council ended, and the agenda was put on hold. Tiddlelime grabbed Zhou Shu's arm and pulled him to a small private room, and the two were alone again.
"I think the army guys are lying to me. Because I'm a layman. I don't understand anything, they think I'm a good liar, so they're lying to me!"
"Ah?!" Zhou Shu blinked his eyes, and his contact lenses were about to fall. "Where did that come from?"
He remembered that the little girl in front of him was not the one who could say such things.
In the past, Tiddlerum would be very clear about his position as a combat layman when he encountered this kind of thing, and would listen to the insider's explanations and the decisions they made. Well, now, she began to think that those insiders were liars.
Zhou Shu was a little upset that Tiddle was saying such a thing, which was a sign that she was transforming from an obedient good boy to a megalomaniac.
"No, the army is just worried about losing its existing advantage. So strategically conservative. How can this be considered a deception, whether it is advance or retreat, it is just a way to choose, there is no right or wrong. ”
"Are you saying nice things about the army?" said Tiddlelem, who suddenly sharpened.
"That's right. Zhou Shu didn't like her way of questioning herself, and immediately straightened her face. "I don't want you to be suspicious of the generals you've been relying on, so I'm saying good things about them. ”
"Why?"
Tiddlelime asked a thoughtless question.
"What, why?"
"I thought ...... "Tiddle Lime suddenly became slurred...... I thought you'd be happy to see ......."
Zhou Shu was a little confused, "What did you see?"
Tiddlelem stared at Zhou Shu's eyes, put on a determined face, and said the little abacus in his heart.
In recent days, Tiddlelime has been struggling with Zhoushu's position. Now he is an earl without a fief, for personal reasons. Her Majesty the Queen was unwilling to give Zhou Shu the fief of a meritorious hero with countless meritorious contributions, and did not want him to leave her side. Conversely, there should be money and positions without fiefdoms.
Now Tiddlelem's pocket money is still spent with the same amount of gold that Master Zhou gave him before. Naturally, she can't take money as a queen, so the remaining positions can be rewarded to him.
Zhou Shu heard that this was only half of the queen's topic, but he also understood.
"You mean, you want to give me the places of those who fought for us?"
Tiddlelime blushed and nodded embarrassedly. In her opinion, confessing this matter is almost no different from confessing, even the words 'I don't want you to leave me for a fiefdom, so I don't want to give you land'.
Women are always accustomed to pleasing the man they like and want the best for him. The queen has a lot of resources. But Tiddlelem was saddened to find that he had nothing to reward as a head of state.
Master Zhou said with a smile. "You think too much, I didn't expect you to be so stupid. ”
"Am I stupid!?" said Tiddlelem, who was struck by lightning. In her opinion. Stupid was a very strict slur and insult, she hadn't heard any swearing, 'stupid' and 'stupid' were the worst words she could think of, and she couldn't say it herself, she felt that these words were too unorthodox. If she were asked to curse with the most vicious words, she would probably blush and say, 'You're such a bad person.'"
Zhou Shu hurriedly threw the pot of his slip of mouth to the translator, saying that something was wrong with this thing. "It's normal for magic items to have a constant glitch, don't believe you to ask Tourelle. ”
"Then you didn't say I'm stupid?" asked Tiddlelem, biting her lip tentatively.
"Don't be stupid. "What I want to say is much harsher than that, Zhou Shu thought. Now that he had felt the change in Tiddlelem's role as king, it seemed that like all dictators, she was starting to become a little willful. But luckily, Zhou Shu will always be by her side during this period of time to help correct her character.
"Don't worry. Master Zhou decided to reassure this guy who was starting to think crankily first, "Even if you don't give me a reward, I won't leave you." ”
As soon as he said this, he regretted it, because he saw the sparkle in Tiddleme's eyes, a very unusual light of hope. He was pretty sure that his words were misunderstood by this guy, and that he seemed to be sending the wrong signal to her (to be continued)
