Zither Emperor Chapter 653 Chapter 206 Nina's News Part 2_1

653: Chapter 206 Nina’s News (Part 2)_1 653: Chapter 206 Nina’s News (Part 2)_1 Anya looked at Ye Yinzhu and let out a chuckle, “Yin Zhu, you’ve already caught up with me.

Our Zither Emperor of Qin City is indeed a genius among geniuses.”

Ye Yinzhu glanced at Nina, then at Anya, “Sister, stop teasing me.

Granny, why are you here?

Did the war on the frontline bee so pressing that you came to our Qin City to ask for reinforcements?”

Nina smiled faintly, “Not at all.

Although Milan was caught off guard, it wouldn’t be easy for Landias to annex us.

I came here for two reasons.

One is to thank you for your contributions to Milan, and the other is to ask for your assistance with a matter.”

Ye Yinzhu smiled, “Qin City and Milan are allies.

Naturally, we should help each other when in trouble.

Didn’t Granny also send us a large number of Descendants of the Eastern Dragon?

I haven’t had time to thank you yet.

Additionally, without Elder Jinse’s help in transporting supplies, I wouldn’t have been able to make everything go so smoothly.”

Nina smiled, “I heard from Jinse.

Even I am a bit envious of the supplies you plundered from Flore.

It seems that Milan doesn’t need to financially support Qin City anymore.

You are definitely richer than me now!”

Ye Yinzhu replied, “How could that be?

I can never pare to you.

You are the ultimate patron of Milan.

Besides, having money isn’t enough.

With millions of people in Qin City, the required amount of food is astronomical, all of which still requires Milan’s support.”

Nina said, “You can relax.

We won’t short-change you on what we promised.

You are now Milan’s great hero, known to all.

After the Battle of Flore, your name has spread far and wide.

Now, the Eastern Military Corps has the added strength of 80,000 troops from Qin City, stabilizing the Eastern Front.

This has allowed us to breathe a sigh of relief and focus more resources on the main battlefield.

I heard that you also seized Landias’ food supply for the Beastman Clan, which has significantly weakened their attacks.

In a while, if the war on the Northern Front goes well, I might reassign some soldiers from the Northern Legion to the Southern Front.”

Ye Yinzhu nodded, “That’s what I had in mind too.

After all, the numbers between Flore and Landias, the Bo Pang Allied Forces on the front lines are too disproportionate.

Defense is one thing, but a counterattack is much more difficult.

Therefore, we must first resolve the issues on the Northern Front before we can have a chance to turn the tables on the main battlefield.

My next step involves leading some of the Qin City Elites to the Northern Legion to assist Marshal Martin against the Beastman Clan.

As you know, with Zi’s help, my deterrence against the Beastman will greatly increase, allowing for the extraction of some forces from the Northern Legion.”

Nina nodded satisfactorily, “Just as you said.

However, this matter is not urgent.

Right now, I have a more important and urgent task that needs your assistance.”

Ye Yinzhu was puzzled.

Could there be something more important than the current continental war?

Nina, seeing his confusion, continued, “Anya tells me that you’ve been diligently cultivating lately and are probably unaware of the current world situation.

At present, all parties have entered a period of slowdown, and the war has temporarily ceased.”

“Oh?

Is Landias going to back down?” Ye Yinzhu asked doubtfully.

“No, of course not.

Landias is determined to get us, Milan.

This battle has been planned for a long time, but nearly a year has passed since it began.

The consumption of all parties has been great, and adjustments in supply and other aspects are needed.

This applies to both Landias and us, Milan.

Therefore, all parties have gone into this adjustment period.

Of course, although the war has ceased, tensions still remain high among all powers, and war might break out again at any time.”

Ye Yinzhu realized, “I see.

Granny Nina, could it be that Landias has some other actions planned, and you want me to help disrupt it?” Now, with the main forces of Qin City all at the Eastern Front, only a few strong individuals are left.

Naturally, Nina knew about this situation.

Since she came to ask for help, it must be about utilizing the power of him and these elite fighters, which was why Ye Yinzhu suggested this.

Nina nodded, “You could say that.

In the whole war, we are still at a disadvantage and a counterattack is impossible at this stage.

The initiative lies with Landias.

We received a message that Landias, as soon as the ceasefire began, issued a notice.

They invited all nobles and promising individuals from allied nations to participate in the grand cultural and martial petition of the Landias Empire.”

“A contest of literature and martial arts?

What is that?”

Nina continued, “The Landias literature and martial arts contest is a means of talent selection.

Unlike us in the north, who border on the Northernmost Wilderness and hone our troops through prolonged wars with the Beastman Clan, the Landias Empire has its own methods.

They improve their army’s bat capabilities through various military drills, sometimes internally, sometimes with allied nations.

This is their main way to enhance their soldiers’ fighting power.

Although it can’t pare to real bat, the results are still quite good.”

“However, as the saying goes, it is easy to gather armies but hard to find a great general.

There’s no issue with their training method.

But what Landias and the southern countries need most is the talent of generals.

Hence the Landias literature and martial arts contest came into being.

Through such national level petitions, a large number of talents are selected for important tasks.

Over the years, Landias has maintained this tradition.

Every three years, a literature and martial arts contest is held.

It has supplied them with numerous talents, which is one of the reasons why Landias can pete with Milan, despite not having higher education institutions like our Milan Magic Martial Academy.”

Ye Yinzhu praised, “The idea behind this contest is really good.

It’s not confined to nobility, and goes all out in talent selection.

The King of Landias Empire must indeed be a wise monarch.”

Nina sighed, “If they weren’t so brilliant and resourceful, how could the people of Landias have plotted for so many years to invade our Milan territory?

Maximo.

Moratti may not be as good as Silvio in rulership, but he’s far better than Silvio in conspiracies and tricks.

He’s definitely a powerful figure of his generation.

Although his method of peting in literature and martial arts is a bit radical, he offers tremendous rewards at great cost to not only dig out a lot of talents from within Landias, but also to draw many talents from other countries for his own use.”

Ye Yinzhu asked, “Holding a contest of literature and martial arts during this period of war…

seems like Landias is running out of people.

This should be good news for Milan.

Do you want me to help disrupt this contest?”

Nina nodded, “Yes.

This time Landias’ contest of literature and martial arts is different from usual.

Because it’s during wartime, through this contest, Landias can greatly improve the relationship with its allies.

I heard that Maximo even invited the kings of the allied nations to observe the contest.

If they manage to hold it successfully, it would undoubtedly make the group led by Landias more closely knit.

According to our information, in order to win over the elites of various nations and deepen relations with the alliances, Maximo has promised major benefits in this contest.

In addition to larger rewards than before, this contest of literature and martial arts has bee a method of betrothal.

The final top ten winners will be chosen by one of Maximo’s daughters.

The chosen one will bee the husband of the princess.

It is said that this Phoenix Princess is extremely beautiful and is known as the first beauty of Landias.”

Looking at Ye Yinzhu’s gradually stiffening face, Nina asked, “Just think!

For the people of Landias and the talents of their alliances, what a great attraction it would be to gain wealth and power and have such a noble beauty.

So, we must disrupt this contest.

Yinzhu, what’s wrong?”

Ye Yinzhu’s face turned pale as he stared blankly ahead.

When Nina mentioned that Landias’ contest would be a betrothal method, his mind went blank.

The Landias Empire princess was synonymous with Sura in his mind.

Sura, Sura, is it you who wants a suitor?

Haiyang quickly stepped forward, took Ye Yinzhu’s hand and said, “Yin Zhu, are you okay?

After all, it may not be Sura this time.

After all, even though the emperor of Landias doesn’t have many children, there should be more than just Princess Sura.”

Ye Yinzhu was, after all, a mage with strong spiritual power.

After a brief trance, he suppressed all sorts of confused emotions in his heart, managed a smile, held Haiyang’s hand, and asked, “Granny Nina, what do you want me to do?” His words were chilling as a strong air of murderous intent pervaded around him, causing even Nina to feel a chill in her heart.

“I hope that you can lead the Qin City Elites to disrupt this contest.

No matter what you do, you just need to prevent the literature and martial arts contest from proceeding smoothly.

I know this task is extremely dangerous, but with the existence of the teleportation array, plus your Qin City Elites, I believe you can do it safely.

Yinzhu, will you help Granny with this?”

Even though Nina sensed something wrong with Ye Yinzhu’s expression, she didn’t ask further.

She vaguely guessed that Ye Yinzhu might have some special enmity with Landias.

Ye Yinzhu slowly nodded, “I agree.

But, my plan to go to the North will have to be delayed because of this.

Granny, when is this contest of literature and martial arts going to be held?

And can you tell me in detail what the way of petition is?” (To be continued.
