Chapter 206: Gotta Add Money
In the second year that Mark traveled to this world, in addition to the big action of the Bill Empire to clean up the remnants of the Ice and Snow Goddess at the beginning of the year, the guys of the Ten Worlds Sect were making trouble.
Peter the Great's forces basically quelled the domestic unrest in two months, and this speed is enough to be called Operation Thunder at the national level, after all, for other countries, two months is not enough to mobilize the country, let alone send troops.
The Emperor acted so quickly that other countries had no chance to intervene, and the war was over.
However, Peter the Great's troubles were not over.
Because someone saved Anastasia, the Ice and Snow Saintess in disguise, the Ice and Snow Church survived in a relatively complete way.
Unlike the old archdukes who were directly defeated, the Holy Maiden's side maintained a relatively complete Church Knights' structure.
She is like a beacon towering across the ocean, guiding all the people who are dissatisfied with the emperor's betrayal of the goddess of ice and snow.
The nobles of the Bill Empire, who had been defeated but had escaped the purge, chose to take refuge with the Holy Maiden, and they took all the gold and silver possessions they could take with them, and all the believers who remained loyal to them and believed in the goddess of ice and snow, and began the exaggerated Great Migration.
On the way, of course, they will inevitably be pursued by the Emperor's forbidden army, but as long as they reach that place......
"Our destination doesn't matter at all, as soon as we reach the East Coast, the Holy Maiden's Ship of Promise will come to pick us up!"
This is how every Ice and Snow believer has passed it on by word of mouth.
The truth is also a bit close.
Thanks to the fact that Mark killed the entire Eastern Detachment of the Bill Empire, not to mention, and also blackmailed the emperor with 30 million in a domineering manner, the Ice and Snow Saintess and her gang decided to use Mark's name to make crazy trouble, Ah No, it is to save the Ice and Snow Believers.
Originally, the saint didn't have much money in her hands, and there were many nobles who couldn't stand it.
When the first ducal family managed to escape and gave half of their wealth, the poor ghost of the Holy Maiden was rich on the spot.
How much money can a duke's family that has been inherited for thousands of years have with the strength of the family?
It's an impossible thing to count.
Anyway, the next day, Anastasia chartered all the ships in several ports in the northwest of the Rite Empire, with only one mission, to let the captains follow the Ice Cultists to the east coast of the Bill Empire to patrol and rescue all the Ice Cultists who could be saved.
Originally, this was a very risky business.
Interestingly, at the time of the saint's decision, Mark had not yet waited for the messenger of Peter the Great. Mark, who was still in a frenzy on the surface, directly asked Conrad to run along the coast of the Bill Empire in the ghost ship.
An extraordinary ghost ship and an S+ Abyssal Behemoth [Abyss Ghost Crab Queen] are not at all an existence that the Bill Empire, with its weak navy, can fight against.
Conrad unceremoniously beat two smaller Bill Empire fleets within three days, and sank a few official Bill Empire-flagged transports, before receiving the news that his boss Mark had collected the money and continued to remain [neutral].
This disguised the saint's rescue action.
In fact, Emperor Peter could not figure out the relationship between Mark and the Holy Maiden.
The ship used by the Holy Maiden to escape was originally hoisted with Mark's family crest and the banner of the God of Knowledge, but when she was "accidentally injured", Mark went crazy on the spot and turned around and overturned an entire Imperial fleet.
Who dares to guarantee that their baby disobedient girl will do it again and play this set on the boat?
Don't look at the flag of the Ice and Snow God Cult when you save people, wait until the Imperial Navy arrives, hit it with one shot, and change the flag for you at a critical time, it will be wonderful.
It's not out of the question that a brace is out of the question.
At that time, it will not be something that 30 million Teyuan can settle.
It is strange that Peter the Great is not angry, but this is the sadness of not having sea power.
No matter how awesome the army is, there are no ships, there are no deep-sea monsters, and they have to rest when they get to sea.
In the end, the emperor issued an order: "For the Ice and Snow Cultists, chase them only to the east coast, five kilometers from the sea. Anything beyond that doesn't matter."
The reason why this order was given was because there was a hired Rite armed merchant ship, and when the Ice and Snow Cultists who rescued people saw that there was a Bill Forbidden Army on the shore, they were stunned and fired a few shots.

Mark's words were not loud, but the heavy weight was not something that anyone could bear.
Natasha, the female knight next to the saint, wanted to help the saint quibble on the spot.
Anastasia stepped forward and made a standard curtsy:
"There is no doubt that this is an excuse and an encroachment on your authority. I swear in the name of the Holy Maiden of the Ice Goddess that the Ice Goddess will repay this favor. However, before you get feedback from the goddess, it is important to maintain this tacit understanding, which is very important for millions of followers."
A cold glint flashed in Mark's eyes: "What if I have to break this tacit understanding?"
"Don't! If that doesn't quench you, let me go to "that pool," and I'll accept it."
When the saint said this, there was no expression on her beautiful face, and she looked at Mark's excessively handsome face calmly, without anger or joy, with the white orchid dress she was wearing, and the beautiful ice crystals that had been hovering around her all the time, it seemed both ethereal and divine, and the beauty surpassed reality.
But what she said was actually using herself as a bargaining chip.
Isn't this like a martyrdom drama of sacrificing oneself to save millions of people?
On the other hand, someone sitting in a chair becomes the greedy devil.
The moment the saint's voice fell, Helena, Rosalyn, Marianne, and Yolanda all turned their heads and looked at Mark.
Not necessarily every pair of eyes was blaming or disdainful, but more often just wanted to see what Mark was doing.
But this was enough to exert an invisible pressure on Mark.
But......
Mark smiled.
Bad laugh!
"Your Highness, have you misunderstood my character?"
For a moment, Anastasia thought that she had really misjudged Mark, and felt that he might be extremely noble inside......
Who would have expected that Mark's next sentence would be:
"Do you want me to keep it tacit? OK! Gotta add money!"
