546: Chapter 171: Qin City, the Unknown Variable in War (Part 1)_1 546: Chapter 171: Qin City, the Unknown Variable in War (Part 1)_1 Finance Minister Teddy said: “Your Majesty, rest assured.
I have been keeping an eye on this matter.
At present, some food has been mobilized from the Bo Pang Kingdom to Flore.
It is on the way.
As soon as it reaches the Flore Kingdom, it will be immediately sent to the War God Fortress along with the supplies prepared by the Flore Kingdom.
With these food supplies, the armies of the three great tribes of the Beastman Clan can last through the winter.”
Moratti nodded and said: “This matter is of great importance.
Inform the people of Flore that they must protect this convoy of food supplies.
Although there is little chance the Milan Empire knows about these food supplies, we must still be cautious.
placency is the last thing we can afford when we are in an advantageous position.”
Teddy expressed his full agreement: “Your Majesty is wise.”
At this moment, a different voice finally spoke.
The Foreign Minister Stankovic bowed and said, “Your Majesty, I have something to say but I am not sure if it’s appropriate.”
The Foreign Minister of the Empire, now seventy-three, had played a crucial role in Moratti’s ascension to the throne.
In the entire political system of the Landias Empire, Foreign Minister Stankovic held a pivotal position, and his wisdom was greatly respected by Moratti.
“Stankovic, are you still worried?” Although Moratti frowned slightly, he asked in a friendly manner.
Stankovic slowly nodded, “Your Majesty, though our situation is excellent at present, I hope you could take a longer-term view.
For the past thousand years on our Ryuzakinus Continent, Faran has always been at the center, with no other nation able to rival its power.
Though Faran’s isolation period is ten years this time, we must ask ourselves how we will explain our actions when Faran emerges.
Even if it displeases Your Majesty, I must say that if we exhaust our efforts to unify the continent, only to be criticized by Faran, not only will our efforts possibly be in vain, but we may also…”
Moratti surprisingly didn’t get angry.
He simply smiled and said, “I understand your concerns.
It’s true that Faran wouldn’t be pleased to see Ryuzakinus unite under one nation.
But, some do wish to witness that.
Do you think I would risk the Empire’s future without significant support?
I, Moratti, have reigned for over twenty years, dedicated to good governance, waiting for this moment.
It’s impossible for there not to be any risks, all I can do is minimize them while maximizing the benefits for Landias.”
Stankovic softly sighed, “Since Your Majesty has spoken so, all I can do is offer my full support.
I believe my colleagues here also look forward to the moment when Landias stands at the peak of the Ryuzakinus Continent.”
…
Milan Empire, East Wind City.
This medium-sized city is situated 360 kilometers from East Milan, a crucial point of traffic, and a necessary pathway when entering the Milan Empire from the east.
Ye Yinzhu, acpanying Oliveira and Sura, was quietly standing five miles west of East Wind City.
This was where Nina’s magic munication had informed them just a few days ago about the location of the supply troops.
Oliveira had just sent a signal to the city.
The main reason why Ye Yinzhu came here with only Oliveira and Sura, and didn’t bring the Qin City Mixed Corps to the outskirts of East Wind City, was that he didn’t want others to know the real strength he held in his hands.
The mixed army of Qin City included many races, each of them was a secret weapon for Ye Yinzhu.
Even though they were allies with the Milan Empire now, Ye Yinzhu didn’t want to expose them prematurely.
Besides, before they arrived here, Sura had reminded Ye Yinzhu that there might be Flore spies in the Milan Empire.
If spies became aware of the arrival of the Qin City Mixed Corps, it would significantly impact the battle plan they intended to execute.
Perhaps due to the tension of the Eastern war, the four gates of East Wind City were firmly closed.
Patrol troops were continually passing along the city wall, the obvious tension could be clearly sensed even outside the city.
Ye Yinzhu was quietly gazing ahead.
The past few days of travel had been the best respite for him.
In less than ten days on the road, he had fully integrated the experience and strength he’d accumulated from numerous battles previously.
His overall temperament had grown more elegant, with the murderous aura brought about by reaching Ziwei Qinxin being somewhat diluted.
Dressed in a white magic robe, his elegance appeared even more noble.
Although there were no markings or decorations on the Divine Source Magic Robe, it looked quite harmonious on Ye Yinzhu.
If one were to say what the most significant change in Ye Yinzhu was, it would be his eyes.
Even Ye Yinzhu did not understand why his eyes, which had bee profound due to the increase in power and numerous experiences, had somehow cleared up during this time.
Although they were not as clear as when he had just left the blue sky and sea, if someone who didn’t know him saw him now, they would think he was an innocent ordinary youth.
“Here they e,” Oliveira whispered.
Sure enough, the west gate of East Wind City opened, and a figure as fast as lightning darted out and headed towards them.
As soon as the person left the city gate, the gate closed immediately.
The nervousness, bordering on terror, made Ye Yinzhu slightly frown.
This place belonged to the Southern Military Corps.
From this simple scene, he realized that the bat effectiveness of this Southern Military Corps was not impressive.
What could one expect from an army that lacked fighting spirit?
The figure who sped towards them quickly arrived in front of Ye Yinzhu and the others.
He seemed a little old, but his harmless appearance was hard to associate with the lightning-fast speed he had just displayed.
This person was Jinse, who previously brought a lot of trouble to Ye Yinzhu and almost caused him to lose in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Martial Skills War.
“Hello, respected Lord of Qin City.” Jinse greeted Ye Yinzhu with a smile and a slight bow.
Ye Yinzhu quickly returned the gesture.
This Elder Jinse even surpassed Marshal Martin in strength.
Although Jinse claimed to be Nina’s servant, Ye Yinzhu dared not neglect him, “Hello, Elder Jinse.
You should know why we’re here, correct?”
Jinse nodded: “Rest assured, my lord, Her Royal Highness The Princess has given her instructions.
The hundred thousand logistical support soldiers have been prepared for you.
When are we setting out?
I will do my best to cooperate.
However, I need to remind you that due to time constraints and the large-scale enemy attack facing the Eastern Military Corps, this logistical support unit wasn’t selected from the military but from reserves and some civilians.
There may be some discrepancies, and I cannot guarantee their march speed.
I hope this will not burden you, my lord.”
Ye Yinzhu was not upset.
Although he didn’t fully understand the situation of the Eastern Military Corps, from various pieces of information, he knew quite a lot.
Given the circumstances of facing Flore’s elite army twice their size, it was not easy to divert this supply unit.
Even if it was a mixed legion.
With a casual smile, Ye Yinzhu said: “That’s alright, Elder Jinse.
As long as the people you bring can walk and transport goods, it would be enough.
Are all the supply soldiers now in East Wind City?”
A hint of worry flashed in Jinse’s eyes, “Yes, the supply soldiers are here.
I’ve prepared the first batch of supply materials for you, my lord.
However, the situation in the east is getting worse.
The right front of Flore Kingdom’s army has already reached a place less than a hundred kilometers from here.
They could attack East Wind City at any moment.
Although there are a hundred thousand supply soldiers, the real defending army of this important city, East Wind City, is less than ten thousand.
My lord, where is your army, and can you help East Wind City first, encountering this urgent matter?
Then I will lead the supply soldiers to leave with you.”
Ye Yinzhu shook his head, “No, Elder Jinse, you should understand the principle that speed is the key in warfare.
There can’t be any delay in my army now.
I think Granny Nina should have told you, right?
For this supply unit, mand will be handed over to me, right?”
Jinse, hearing Ye Yinzhu seemingly having no intention to rescue East Wind City, had a hint of displeasure in his eyes but still nodded affirmatively,” Yes, as Her Royal Highness The Princess ordered, this supply unit, including me, will follow your orders pletely.
Ye Yinzhu nodded: “In that case, I have three orders for you.
The first one is to constantly maintain the sufficiency of the supplies.
I will extract them at any time.
The second one is when I bring some supplies to East Wind City, I want you, Elder Jinse, to oversee sending them to Qin City for me as soon as possible.
How many people you need to plete these two orders is up to you.
I should remind you that the amount of the supplies I will have this supply unit take back to Qin City will definitely not be small.”
Jinse was wise and understood what Ye Yinzhu meant.
His face changed, “My lord, considering the situation now, are you still thinking about profiting for Qin City?
Don’t forget that Qin City and Milan are allies.
You don’t mean the reason you wanted this supply unit was to help you transport materials to Qin City, do you?” (To be continued.
