Due to the drought and water shortage in Arcturus and the numerous Gobi deserts, the Yoru Empire Army encountered many sandstorms during its march.
Putuomel smiled bitterly when he saw that Yi Chen and Sola's performance in the battlefield was a mess. He felt that the two were really rookies in the war. She heard Sola's shouting and took the initiative to explain:
"Sora, you have nothing to doubt. Meteorological science is complex and unpredictable. The occurrence of sandstorms has little to do with whether there is water in the surrounding area. When you travel more in the future, you will naturally understand the reason. !
Then Putuomel encouraged everyone loudly:
"We must grit our teeth and persevere. Where there is a will, there is a way. We will definitely reach our destination, the top of Yegla, in the near future!"
Although Yi Chen felt that Pu Guomeier's encouragement was reasonable, he still couldn't help but ask:
"Putuomel, you are our guide. How long will it take to reach the Holy River Ilia? What Sola just said is not bad. We have been on the road for more than ten days and traveled thousands of kilometers. Normally, , the city of Zion is at most more than a thousand kilometers away from the Holy River Ilya, and we should have arrived there a long time ago. Putuomel, you are not going in the wrong direction, are you? Don't go in the opposite direction, otherwise we will have to rush to the Holy River Ilya , at least we have to make a big circle around Arcturus to get there. From now on, it will take us at least three to five years!"
In order to fight against the sandstorm weather, Putuomeier's whole body was wrapped in clothes. She lay on the back of the Benlei Beast and listened to Yi Chen's words while driving the Benlei Beast. When she heard Yi Chen finish speaking, she shifted her body uneasily on the back of the Thunder Beast and responded loudly:
"Yi Chen, it's normal for us to have some errors on our way! The straight-line distance between Zion City and the Holy River Ilia is indeed only more than a thousand kilometers, but we can't walk along a straight line. You also know that we encountered many obstacles along the way. There are several groups of Chiwu people and Yuanhuang people, and we have fought with them many times. Although we always win in the end, no one can guarantee that we will always win like this. Therefore, for the sake of safety, I have been leading everyone to avoid the Chiwu people as much as possible. There are many detours around the gathering area where people and Yuanhuang people live, which naturally makes our journey seem longer."
After listening to Putuomeier's explanation, Yi Chen and Sola felt that it was reasonable and reasonable, and they no longer had any doubts or dissatisfaction. So under the guidance of Putuo Mel, Yi Chen, three people and one beast continued to move forward with difficulty despite the sandstorm!
Zuodan City is the capital of the Asan Empire. Compared with Zion City, Zuodan City is a paradise on earth!
There are many high-rise buildings here, and two wide rivers pass through the city from east to west and north to south respectively. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the vast plains on one side.
What's commendable is that the mountains and plains surrounding Zuodan City are covered with a variety of green plants, which look full of vitality. This is rare on Arcturus, which is full of bare mountains and deserts, and it proves the strength of the Asan Empire.
Zuodan City has a population of nearly one million. It is surrounded by a city wall made of stone that is more than 20 meters high. Coupled with its easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain, it can truly be called a god-given royal city with a tiger on a dragon's side.
Zuodan City is busy at the moment. There are black-armored Yasan warriors on duty on the city walls, sky sail warships patrolling in the sky, various ships sailing in the two wide rivers, and bustling people hanging out on the straight streets. .
In the center of Zuodan City is a splendid palace covering a vast area.
At this time, in the corridor of the palace, King Knight and Saint Priest Jevich were walking side by side.
Knight, who was wearing a golden helmet, asked impatiently:
"Holy Priest Yevich, why do you have to accept Princess Putuomel of the Yoru Empire? Why do you have to hold a public wedding with Putuomel? Aren't these all superfluous! Holy Pastor Yevich, my Ya The million-strong army of the Sang Empire is waiting for the enemy, and with just one order from me, I can destroy the Yoru Empire in a devastating way, and there is no need to play the old drama of the marriage between the two countries!"
The holy priest Jevich, who was dressed in white robes, glanced at Knight without revealing anything:
"Your Majesty Knight, things are not as simple as you think. You have to take a longer view. Although the Yoru Empire is not as good as the Asan Empire as a whole, the gap between your two countries is not big, especially the enthusiasm of the Yoru Empire. The performance of the weapon even surpasses that of your Asan Empire. What the Yoru Empire is really afraid of is the 'Thunder Storm' in your hands."
When Knight heard what Saint Priest Jevich said, he unconsciously raised his left hand to his eyes and twisted his wrist continuously. The 'Thunder Storm' in its glove state made a metallic friction sound.
Since Knight returned to Zuodan City from Zion City, he has not taken off the 'Thunder Storm'.
As a tyrannical king, Knight is cruel and suspicious by nature. He would rather kill his enemies by mistake than let them go, and he takes precautions against everything big and small!
Yi Chen's outstanding personal combat power left a deep impression on Knight!
Knight is worried that there are more warriors in the Yoru Empire with outstanding personal combat capabilities. If those warriors with outstanding personal combat power sneak into the Yasan Empire quietly, ordinary Yasan warriors in black armor are no match for them. If they are not careful, they may secretly steal the 'Thunder Storm' in the state of the exquisite metal box. The 'Thunderstorm' in the state of an exquisite metal box does not have a powerful automatic defense function.
Even if the Yoru Empire secretly takes away the 'Thunder Storm' in the state of a delicate metal box, the Yoru Empire will never even think of using the 'Thunder Storm'. The 'Thunder Storm' is equivalent to scrap metal in the hands of the Yoru Empire, but for Knight, Said this is unbearable pain. Because of this, Knight will no longer have strategic weapons to threaten other countries, especially the Yoru Empire. For this reason, as a precaution, Nate will not take off the 'Thunderstorm' for a moment now, no matter whether he eats, drinks, or sleeps.
After many days of mental stress, Knight was a little impatient and impatient at this time. He specially found the representative of the Illuminati Religion in the Asan Empire, the holy priest Jevich, and the pilgrim priest Jevich expressed his bitterness.
Knight expressed his attitude. He wanted to order the Asan Empire's million-strong army to attack at the same time and directly crush the Yoru Empire with the power of Mount Tai. This would save time and effort, and it would be done in one fell swoop.
Now it seems that the Illuminati, which has always supported Knight in everything, unexpectedly opposed Knight's actions this time.
The Illuminati insisted that Knight marry Putuomel, and that a grand public wedding must be held to make the people of the Asan Empire and the Yoru Empire aware of the matter.
Saint Priest Jevich explains why:
"Your Majesty Knight, 'Thunder Storm' is indeed powerful, but don't forget that 'Thunder Storm' is just a weapon, and there are various usage restrictions on 'Thunder Storm'. Let me ask you, can you use 'Thunder Storm'?" 'Kill hundreds of millions of people in the Yoru Empire? No way! You can't completely conquer a big country like the Yoru Empire by relying on 'Thunder Storm' alone! Even if you ostensibly occupy the Yoru Empire, there will be many follow-ups. Various rebel forces will emerge to fight against the Asan Empire, which will be endless and endless. If you really want to completely conquer a big country, you must have a broader and long-term vision."
When Knight heard this, he showed a thoughtful look on his face. As the king of the most powerful country in Arcturus, he was naturally not an idiot and could tell some things at once.
Holy Priest Jevich continued:
"Your Majesty Knight, by marrying Princess Putuomel and holding a public wedding with her, you have legally cleared the obstacles to ruling the Yoru Empire in the future. At that time, you can use your identity as the husband of Princess Putuomel to crown you as the Yoru Empire. King of the Ru Empire, I guarantee that your rule in the Yoru Empire is reasonable, legal and undisputed. You must remember that ordinary people are stupid. They will only listen to our propaganda and follow the trend of public opinion. They will never be qualified. There is no chance to understand the truth of this world. As for what happens after you marry Putuo Mel, the Light Sect will not interfere and let you deal with Putuo Mel's life and death."
Knight understood the attitude of the Illuminati, and he also understood that marrying Putuomel would be of great benefit to him politically, but he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, feeling that this was something he was forced to do by the Illuminati. He nodded and said calmly:
"Well, if the Illuminati insists that I do this, I will hold an unprecedented public wedding with Putuo Mel and let the whole world know that I have become Putuo Mel's legal husband!"
Saint Priest Jevich is an old fox. He heard the dissatisfaction in Knight's words and said quietly:
"Your Majesty Knight, please be sure to keep a broad and long-term vision. That will be good for you and the Illuminati! You must remember that there are many countries in the world. The Illuminati can support the Asan Empire and other empires. For the Illuminati and the Sun God, no matter which country becomes the hegemon of the world, as long as our interests remain unchanged, there will be no difference! By the way, time is running out, while the Asan Empire’s army is exerting pressure on the territory of the Yoru Empire At the same time, you’d better finalize the wedding arrangements with Princess Putuo Mel as soon as possible.”
After Holy Priest Jevich finished speaking, he quickened his pace, passed Knight, and turned around at a corner in front of the corridor without hesitation, without even saying hello to Knight.
After Saint Priest Jevich finished speaking, he quickened his pace, turned around and left at a corner of the corridor, without even saying hello to Knight.
Knight looked at the retreating figure of Saint Priest Jevich, a burning rage rising in his eyes. He couldn't help but gnashed his teeth and muttered to himself:
"Hmph, damn it, Guangming Sect, you just wait for me. Sooner or later, I will make your Holy See crawl at my feet. Isn't it the king's land in the whole world? Is it the king's ministers who are on the shore of the land? No sect. You should be qualified to sit on an equal footing with me, and you can only become a tool in my hands to rule, rather than in turn influencing my behavior."
