Chapter 999: Transformation
"I believe that Your Majesty, you will be able to gather a large number of people to defend Fengqi in a short period of time! But one thing I must emphasize to you is that we have no time to train these people, let alone let them fight like real soldiers!"
"To put it mildly, if we let them fight against the Dongyu Army, it is tantamount to sending them to death!"
"Karen, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you want me to just watch that kid from Edlaide swallow up the Fengqi Empire?"
"Your Majesty, if Victor rushes back in time and blocks Dongyu Tieqi, maybe Feng Qi still has a chance of life, but if it is Edlaide who arrives in Sahara City first, do you think Feng Qi still has any chance of winning?"
"The Sahara is far superior to Trafort City in every way. If Edlaide has been able to hold Trafford for so long, why can't we hold on until the moment Victor returns?"
"I admit that the Sahara is superior to Trafford City in many ways!
"And at this moment, of the so-called 100,000 troops guarding the Sahara City, only 30,000 have combat experience, and the others are all rabble!"
"With them to resist the million-strong army led by Edlaide, it is too unrealistic!"
"Actually, even if they can temporarily block Edlaide and barely hold out until the moment when Victor comes back, then what?!"
"As far as I know, Victor managed to capture Santa Cruz, but he also lost a lot. Now, he has no more than 300,000 troops at his disposal! This tired army, even with the 100,000 defenders of the Sahara, is less than half the size of the Dongyu army. ”
"You should be very aware of Victor's abilities, do you think he could still turn the tide against Edlaide in this situation?"
"This" Faced with Karen's question, the Darkmoon Pope couldn't help but hesitate a little.
"I believe that with your majesty's appeal, you will soon be able to organize an army of hundreds of thousands of people. But they have not undergone any training, and when they go to the battlefield and face the wolf-like Dongyu Army, how much combat strength do they have left?"
"Karen, do you want me to give up the Fengqi Empire at this time? Don't forget, the skin will not be attached to the hair!"
"Is the Fengqi Empire our skin? Not necessarily! To be precise, we and the Fengqi Empire are interdependent, and there is no distinction between the more important and the more important!"
"But we are all enemies of Edlaide! Even if we choose to 'watch from the wall' at this time, do you think Edlaide will let us go because of this?" After listening to Karen's analysis, the Dark Moon Pope was already a little moved, but he was still very worried about Li Zijun's attitude on this matter!
"Strictly speaking, it's not just us, Ziqing, Aojin, and Menglin, including the Turk-Hungarian and Tibetan empires on the steppe, they are all Edlaide's enemies!"
"You have also seen the performance of Cute Delaide in Ziqing, as long as you are willing to give up confrontation, the identity and status of Ziqing nobles have not been affected in any way!"
"After all, the relationship between Ziqing and Dongyu is different, we may not get such treatment from Edlaide!"
"Not necessarily!" Before Karen could say anything, Kim beside the Darkmoon Pope suddenly spoke.
"Dharma Protector, what did you say?"
"From what I know about Edlaide, at least he won't be too mean to us!" and even "Speaking of this, Jin paused slightly, and glanced at the Darkmoon Pope and Karen:
"And maybe leaning towards us in some ways!"
Although Karen is the designated future heir of the Dark Moon God Cult, there is still a certain gap between her and Kim's identities. Especially after Slint's death, Jin has become the absolute number two person of the Dark Moon God Cult!
In the face of such a person, the Dark Moon Pope did not dare to ignore it, and he fell into a long period of contemplation.
"Dharma Protector, do you mean the Cult of the Illuminati?"
"Your Majesty: That's what I meant!"
"Edlaide is ambitious, there is no doubt that unifying the Youlan Continent is his biggest goal at the moment, but this is not his ultimate goal!
"Appeasing the Ziqing nobles is not just to reduce resistance, he is also showing his attitude and making arrangements for the future. At this point, Kim paused, waiting for the Darkmoon Pope's attitude.
"Go on!" After pondering for a while, the Darkmoon Pope was noncommittal and motioned for Kim to continue.
"With the strength and influence of our Dark Moon God Sect, we will all eventually become one of the important plates of the Youlan Continent in the future! The difference is whether we want to stand on the opposite side of Edlaide or become his friends!"
"Protector, you're saying this too early, aren't you? After all, Edlaide has not yet defeated the Fengqi Empire. Even if Victor finally loses to Edlaide, it will only be the beginning for Edlaide, and you must not forget, he will have to face the resistance of the three countries of Monlin, Turk-Hungarian and Tibetan-Inferior!
"It's just less than 100,000 people, the Dongyu Army almost took Heller's lair; the Turks and Huns have taken the initiative to cancel their national titles and officially incorporate them into the Dongyu Empire, although there may be some back-and-forth in between, but judging from their chaotic internal situation, they can no longer pose any threat to Edlaide; as for the Tibetan Empire, it is just a clown, Edlaide only needs to send a partial division, and in less than half a year, they will disarm and surrender!"
"Your Majesty, as long as Edlaide crosses the threshold of Victor this time, it will only be a matter of time before he unifies the Youlan Continent!"
"You continue!" The Darkmoon Pope knew very well that Jin was telling the truth, and the reason why he was still reluctant to approve of this result was because he was still a little unconvinced. But after all, he was no better than ordinary people, and he quickly calmed down the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"After 'reunification,' the first thing Edlaide had to do was to reward meritorious deeds. There is no doubt that the Cult of Light is the biggest help behind him, and no matter how unwilling Edlaide is in the future, he will give the Cult of Light a rich reward. If he is not careful, he will leave a hidden danger to the younger generations that the Bright God Sect is dominant!"
"So, in a way, Edlaide needs our joining!" Kim said slowly, looking at the Darkmoon Pope.
"Could it be that you want to make the Cult of the Dark Moon a balancing tool for that kid from Edlaide?"
"Whatever it is, at least we'll be able to survive!"
"I don't believe it, he can uproot the Darkmoon Cult with Edlaide?" Karen's words stung the Darkmoon Pope's 'pride', and his eyes immediately widened.
"Of course not!" Seeing that the Darkmoon Pope was about to get angry, Jin hurriedly motioned for Karen to step aside with his eyes.
Karen also knew that her words were a little inappropriate just now, and she immediately stepped aside sideways.
"No one can influence the development of our Darkmoon Cult!" Jin spoke again, drawing the Darkmoon Pope's gaze back to him.
"It's just that if we continue to fight against Edlaide, it will definitely create a situation where the Cult of Light will be dominant for a long time in the future. We must not allow this to happen!"
Kim's words made the Darkmoon Pope feel a little more comfortable, and his thoughts got back on track:
"Protector, doesn't Victor have a chance at all?" The Darkmoon Pope has actually seen the future, but he is still full of unwillingness, always hoping for a miracle.
"Objectively speaking, Victor's talent in military command is not much inferior to Edlaide. If it weren't for his greed and vain attempt to annex the Aojin Empire this time, and personally lead the army against Edlaide, it would not be easy for Edlaide to attack the Fengqi Empire. But now," Kim shook his head with a wry smile, and he didn't continue.
"Edlaide, Edlaide, I should have dealt with him with my own hands in the first place!" said him, as the Darkmoon Pope slammed his fist on the desk beside him.
"Kim, what do we say next?" said the Darkmoon Pope as he looked at Kim.
"I think it's imperative that we reach out to Edlaide and show him our goodwill. Seeing that the Darkmoon Pope did not express any displeasure, King continued:
"If you allow it, I suggest: we had better pass on to him the will that we are ready to help him unify the Youlan Continent!"
As soon as Jin said this, the room immediately fell into a terrible silence, and the Dark Moon Pope didn't say a word for a long time!
"Just do as you say! I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest for a while. You and Karen do your research first, and then have someone come and call me when you have the results!" With that, the Darkmoon Pope got up and walked back, he didn't seem to want to stay in this room for another second!
"Lord Protector, did you say Edlaide would accept our terms?" Karen, after the Darkmoon Pope left, voiced her concerns.
"Under normal circumstances, he would!"
"But he's never really a normal person, has he?" Karen, with a wry smile, continued Kim's words.
"Confrontation means huge casualties, Edlaide should know that!
"Lord Dharma Protector, you're too polite! it's nothing to run, I'm just worried that in this situation, my weight is a little insufficient?"
"As far as I know, you've had a few encounters with Edlaide, and while it's not pleasant, they're all acquaintances. Moreover, you are also the future heir of the Cult of the Dark Moon God. There's no better place to be here!"
"If you really don't feel that the weight is enough, then I will give up this old face of mine to accompany you on this trip. I'm no stranger to Edlaide either, and I'm sure he'll save some face for me!" (To be continued.) )
