Chapter Seven of the Romantic Continent: Siyang Town 

    page views:1  Publication date:2023-05-17 08:14:07  
The commotion the two had caused in town had already reached the tax office. Seeing Ye Tianlong and Long Ling'er strut in so arrogantly, the tax collectors and guards on duty were all astonished.

"Who are you, daring to enter so rudely?"

Two tax guards stepped forward, ready to shoo them away. Since the tax office was established, no one dressed in poor clothes had ever dared to barge into the main hall without prior notice.

Ye Tianlong waved his hand, and the two overconfident tax guards were sent flying to a corner.

"Quickly, summon your chief tax collector,"

Ye Tianlong said unceremoniously as he entered the main hall, sat down in the highest chair, and shouted at the dumbfounded tax collectors.

Sensing the extraordinary presence of the newcomer, a quick-thinking tax collector immediately stopped the others and found the chief tax collector residing in the back.

When the worldly-wise chief tax collector stood before Ye Tianlong, a closer look revealed something that terrified him so much that his legs trembled and he immediately knelt down.

Knowing the tax collector had recognized him, Ye Tianlong quickly covered his mouth before the tax collector could even speak.

"Don't say a word. Quickly prepare two of the best horses for me; we need to set off soon."

The worldly-wise tax collector nodded vigorously, and his actions were indeed swift. In a moment, two fast horses were ready, and he whispered to Ye Tianlong that he had already booked a room and banquet at the nearby Siyang Restaurant, and had also sent the town's best tailor with the finest clothes to wait there.

Ye Tianlong was very satisfied with the tax collector's arrangements; his ability to think so thoroughly in such a short time was truly commendable.

After a comfortable bath and changing into clean clothes, Ye Tianlong and Long Ling'er decided to dine in the outer hall of the Siyang Restaurant.

Although it wasn't mealtime yet, the Siyang Restaurant was already quite crowded.

Sitting down at the table reserved by the tax collector, Ye Tianlong began to look around. He and Long Ling'er were seated at a window-side table, clearly a relatively high-class spot, with seats spaced far apart.

To Ye Tianlong's left was another adjoining dining room, where a bright-eyed, white-toothed young woman was dining with three middle-aged men dressed as gentlemen. The young woman was dressed in pristine white robes, her beauty ethereal, and she ate with leisurely grace, her demeanor resembling that of a noble lady from a wealthy family. However, the sword hanging at her slender waist revealed that she was no ordinary woman.

On the other side, eight burly men in riding attire were also eating noisily. Each of these eight men was exceptionally tall and imposing, exuding an imposing aura; they were clearly heroes capable of both strength and skill.

The food and wine had been prepared in advance, so as soon as Ye Tianlong and Long Ling'er sat down, the waiter began to serve a sumptuous meal.

"Huh, isn't that man Ye Tianlong?"

A barely audible voice suddenly reached Ye Tianlong's ears as he was engrossed in his food. He hadn't expected anyone to recognize him in this place, and his guard immediately went up.

Ye Tianlong quickly looked up. The beautiful dragon girl opposite him was also staring at him with surprise. The two of them strained to pinpoint the direction of the voice.

"Keep your voice down. He really is Ye Tianlong, the one who just proclaimed himself emperor in Fast."

Now Ye Tianlong had discovered the source of the voice—it was coming from the chair on his left. The speaker was one of three middle-aged men, with a thin face and a striking silver streak in his black hair.

Ye Tianlong searched his memory thoroughly but couldn't recall anyone like him. Logically, Ye Tianlong was confident he would never forget someone with such features after seeing them even once.

"Wasn't he on the front lines in Qingjiang Prefecture? How did he end up in a place like this?"

This time, it was the beautiful young woman who spoke. Although she and her companion spoke very softly, Ye Tianlong and Long Ling'er, who were paying close attention, heard every word. As

they listened, Ye Tianlong's expression grew serious. It turned out that these four people were from Ludian in the east, and their purpose in coming to the Fast Empire was to gather intelligence on the Divine Race army. The

appearance of the Divine Race army in Qingjiang had quickly spread throughout the continent thanks to those who were interested. Now, almost everyone favored Yunaia, which had the support of the Divine Race army. Indeed, the appearance of the Divine Race army, which had not appeared for a thousand years, in the Fast Empire's civil war, and as Yunaia's ally, was an incredibly shocking event for all the countries on the continent.

Unsure of the true purpose of the gods' reappearance on the continent, various nations have sent envoys to the Fast Empire, attempting to gain a comprehensive understanding of the legendary gods and their army. They want to know their true strength and why they allied with Yunaya, as no one can guarantee that the gods' presence is solely to help Yunaya seize the Fast throne.

"Let's hurry back! The situation in Qingjiang Prefecture seems dire!"

Long Ling'er urged Ye Tianlong. The Qingjiang front must be under immense pressure from both Hai Yingyang and the gods, and after so many days, they didn't know Yu Fengwu's condition.

Ye Tianlong and Long Ling'er quickly finished their meal and set off back to Qingjiang Prefecture. Unfortunately, they didn't listen any further; otherwise, they would have received more information, especially regarding the eight burly men on the right, whom they had overlooked. A crucial piece of information had been inadvertently missed. What followed would have a significant impact on Ye Tianlong's side.

"This is the fifth challenge today! They're really patient!"

Upon receiving the soldier's report, Liu Qin'er, who had temporarily assumed the position of commander-in-chief of the Qingjiang Camp, couldn't help but sigh softly. If it weren't for the extremely strong defensive line of the Qingjiang Camp built by Yu Fengwu, and the heavy losses suffered by Hai Yingyang's troops in the Battle of Xiaosong Mountain, the allied forces of the Divine Race and the Yingyang Legion would have already charged in, instead of sending small groups to challenge them every day as they were now.

However, Liu Qin'er also understood very well that once Hai Yingyang's army had replenished and regrouped, they would definitely launch a general attack on the Qingjiang Camp together with the Divine Race army.

Even now, although there hadn't been any large-scale battles between the two sides, Hai Yingyang's army, with the cooperation of the Divine Race army, was still gradually expanding its territory on the south bank of the Qingjiang River, eroding the Qingjiang Camp's defensive line. Just like yesterday, with the help of the Winged Wind Clan army, Gaolou Town was breached by Hai Yingyang's army, and all 2,500 defenders were lost. This forced her to shrink her right flank and redeploy her troops to the rear.

Because of the Winged Wind Clan army's suddenness and mobility, Liu Qin'er couldn't predict their attack focus. She could only try to consolidate her forces and prevent them from taking advantage. However, Liu Qin'er also knew that if she only defended and passively took hits, she would eventually be defeated by Hai Yingyang and the combined forces of the Divine Clan.

Furthermore, the cities behind the Qingjiang camp were beginning to waver in their attitudes due to the alliance between Yunaya and the Divine Clan. Given enough time, they might very well side with Yunaya. But Liu Qin'er couldn't find a good solution right now, and if she rashly went to war, the losses to her army would be unpredictable.

"If my elder sister were in command, what would she do?"

Liu Qin'er involuntarily turned her thoughts to Yu Fengwu. Previously, any problem could be easily solved by Yu Fengwu, and she only needed to follow Yu Fengwu's instructions. Now, she had to make all the decisions in the camp herself, which was truly difficult.

"I wonder if Tianlong and Long Xiaomei have found the Wind Essence Stone yet."

Seeing the dragon-shaped military talisman on the table, Liu Qin'er's thoughts drifted from Yu Fengwu to Ye Tianlong and Long Ling'er, who had gone to Qingfeng Mountain, and she involuntarily looked towards the direction of Qingfeng Mountain.

Since being injured, Yu Fengwu had remained unconscious. Liu Qin'er was truly worried that if Yu Fengwu remained unconscious for too long, something might happen to her. She desperately wished that Ye Tianlong and Long Ling'er could appear before her immediately with the "Wind Essence Stone" to wake Yu Fengwu from her coma and lead everyone in a great battle against Hai Yingyang and the Divine Clan's allied forces.

Thinking of her troubles, Liu Qin'er really wanted to transform into a divine sword, directly confront the divine army, and fight them to the death, letting the Winged Wind Clan and the Giant Spirit Clan witness the power of a divine weapon. Even if it would consume most of her life force, it would still be better than the current situation.

Just as she was pondering this, Princess Qian, her face beaming with joy, rushed in like a whirlwind. Before she even reached Liu Qin'er, she exclaimed, "Sister Qin, I've finished everything you asked for!"

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Liu Qin'er jumped up from her seat, overjoyed. "That's wonderful, wonderful!"

Princess Qian sat down beside Liu Qin'er, letting out a long sigh of relief. She handed Liu Qin'er a list, saying, "This is a detailed list of the magical artifacts you told me you needed to make. Take a look and see if anything is missing."

Taking the list, Liu Qin'er carefully examined it for a while, then let out a long sigh of relief. "I originally just wanted you to try it out, to make as many as you could. I didn't expect you to finish them all so quickly. You're amazing!"

Hearing Liu Qin'er's praise, Princess Qian was even happier, saying with considerable pride, "Of course! I didn't become a Grand Master of Strategy for nothing."

"Now we can finally teach Hai Yingyang and the Divine Race a lesson! These past few days, they've been so arrogant, they seem to think they don't care about us at all." With a weight lifted from her heart, Liu Qin'er excitedly patted Princess Qian's shoulder, praising her highly. "This time, I'll definitely give you a major credit!"

Having inherited the knowledge of the Divine Sword, Liu Qin'er's understanding of the Divine Race was more comprehensive than anyone else on the continent; their strengths and weaknesses were crystal clear in her mind.

An ordinary Divine Race soldier's combat power was definitely equivalent to twenty or thirty human soldiers. If it were a Giant Spirit Clan Thunder Hammer Warrior, one could easily take on fifty. Last time, the three thousand assault cavalry that barely withstood five hundred Giant Spirit Clan Thunder Hammer Warriors thanks to the "War God Technique" had suffered heavy casualties, leaving less than twelve hundred survivors. Moreover, these retreating assault cavalry were also overexerted; now, less than three hundred were truly usable, and the others would need at least three months of rest to recover.

These three thousand assault cavalrymen were elite soldiers carefully selected from the Heavenly Dragon Legion. Finding another batch of such highly qualified soldiers would be extremely difficult. Time was of the essence, so Liu Qin'er needed to find another way.

Fortunately, Liu Qin'er had finally found magical attacks that could target the weaknesses of the divine army from the knowledge inherited from the Divine Sword. She wanted to use these spells to effectively improve her troops' ability to deal with the divine army. However, magic was not something ordinary people could master, especially magic that could inflict powerful damage on the divine race. Almost no one on the continent knew it, and some spells were even long lost.

However, with a Grand Master of Magic like Princess Qian in the Qingjiang camp, Liu Qin'er naturally thought of consulting her about her magical problems to see if she had any other solutions.

Upon hearing that it was a magical problem, Princess Qian immediately became interested. After listening to Liu Qin'er's explanation, she was greatly surprised. It could be said that if Liu Qin'er's plan could be implemented, it would be a breakthrough in magic.

As a Grand Master of Magic, Princess Qian's fighting spirit was further ignited by the magical challenges. At this time, the temple had just sent a large number of mages to support the Qingjiang camp. Combined with the existing mages of the Heavenly Dragon Legion, a powerful mage legion was quickly formed under Princess Qian's command, striving to make Liu Qin'er's vision a reality.

With the full support of Yue Ru and Chen Yue, and based on some of Liu Qin'er's ideas, Princess Qian and her mage legion began experimenting with and mass-producing various magical artifacts.

Many hands make light work, especially with a Grand Master of Magic like Princess Qian leading the way; therefore, in a short period of time, the magical artifacts that Liu Qin'er had conceived were completed.

"We conducted an experiment. The Ice Lightning Bolt, composed of water, wind, and lightning magical elements, is even more powerful than a high-level water magic spell, Ice Crack, cast by a sorcerer."

Princess Qian's introduction greatly reassured Liu Qin'er. Creating a magical artifact is extremely difficult, especially designing a powerful new combination of magical artifacts. Without repeated testing, it's possible that it could cause unpredictable harm to the user in actual use.

She hadn't expected Princess Qian and her group to realize her idea so quickly. This gave Liu Qin'er a much better chance of defeating the divine army.

"Order all generals to proceed to the main tent for a meeting immediately,"

Liu Qin'er transmitted to the guards standing outside the tent. Instantly, cavalrymen carrying command flags galloped through the Qingjiang camp, and the drums outside the tent began to beat.

Within a quarter of an hour, the generals of the Heavenly Dragon Legion, who had rushed to the scene, stood before Liu Qin'er. Knowing that a counterattack against the Eagle Legion and the Divine Army was about to begin, all the generals were extremely excited. After all, they had been provoked far too much recently, and the other side had been far too arrogant, completely disregarding them.

At the same time, in the Sanssouci Palace in the imperial capital of Esnia.

"A rebellion has broken out in Jiezhou!"

Two beautiful women, who had just finished their official duties, hadn't even had time to pick up their cups for a sip of water when a messenger rushed from Jiezhou brought them shocking news.

"What exactly happened?"

Although they wanted to know the details immediately, seeing the messenger panting, exhausted, and thirsty, Chenyue and Yueru could only have someone bring him food and water first.

After drinking three large cups of water in one go, the messenger, having caught his breath, recounted the events in Jiezhou to Chenyue and Yueru.

Because the battle in Qingjiang Prefecture was critical, Ye Tianlong had transferred most of his troops to Qingjiang Prefecture, which naturally resulted in a serious lack of defenses in Jiezhou. Seeing this situation, Krossos, who had been retired, inexplicably contacted his former subordinates and suddenly launched an attack. After killing the governor of Jiezhou appointed by Ye Tianlong, they reoccupied Jiezhou.

"How could such a thing happen?"

Chenyue and Yueru couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances. Such chaos under their very noses was simply unacceptable. Had the Tianlong secret agents and their own painstakingly built intelligence network all collectively failed?

Although the two beauties were both angry and annoyed, the problem still needed to be solved. After all, Qingjiang Prefecture was still entangled with the main force of Yunaya and the Divine Race army. If something happened to Jie Prefecture, the connection between the Imperial Capital Esnia and Qing Prefecture would be completely severed.

It's important to understand that Qing Prefecture is currently a crucial rear base for Ye Tianlong. All the troops and supplies needed for Qingjiang Prefecture's operations come from Qing Prefecture. If such a vital supply line were lost, it's unimaginable what would happen to the war in Qingjiang Prefecture.

"Because most of the troops were transferred away, of the five thousand garrison troops left in Jiezhou, at least four thousand were former soldiers of the Eastern Legion, and even half of the officers leading the troops were once Krossos's subordinates. So when Krossos showed up, they all defected."

The messenger's words made Chenyue and Yueru shake their heads and smile bitterly almost simultaneously. Yu Fengwu's momentary compassion had led to this predicament. If they had known it would be like this, they should have beheaded Krossos and dispersed all the surrendered soldiers of the former Eastern Legion.

"It's all my fault. I was so focused on the fact that since my elder sister had already subdued the Eastern Legion, I didn't consider the proper handling of the situation in Jiezhou." Chenyue said to Yueru with considerable self-reproach. She had indeed been somewhat careless.

"I was too confident in my control of the situation. I didn't expect such a big problem to arise at this time." Seeing Chen Yue say this, Yue Ru was also very frank. She gently shook her head and said to Chen Yue, "This matter was not within your scope of responsibility. In fact, it was my fault." What

Yue Ru was referring to was their unspoken division of labor. Chen Yue was in charge of finance, while Yue Ru was responsible for political affairs. Although the promotion and placement of officials were discussed jointly by Chen Yue and Yue Ru, Yue Ru was mainly in charge of handling them.

"To be honest, I actually had people around Krossos. Not only were the Heavenly Dragon spies monitoring him, but even my own Wanyan Society secretly sent people to keep an eye on him. I just don't know how Krossos managed to escape our surveillance and even reintegrate his subordinates."

"It seems some things really were beyond our expectations. Who knew the Divine Clan army would attack us together with the Yunaian army? Originally, Eldest Sister's plan was perfect: spare Krossos's life and give some of the original Eastern Legion soldiers important positions. Only in this way could we truly win over the hearts of the Jiezhou and Eastern Legion soldiers." Chenyue suddenly sighed and said to Yueru. For these two exceptionally intelligent beauties, the feeling of having everything under their control inevitably made them sometimes arrogant.

“We didn’t expect this turn of events. I wonder what Fengwu would think if she were here?”

Hearing Yue Ru’s words, a strange light suddenly flashed in Chen Yue’s bright eyes. “I think she would be very surprised! After all, she arranged everything in Jiezhou. She never imagined that Krossos would betray us again.”

At the subsequent emergency meeting, something surprising happened to Chen Yue and Yue Ru.

Shi Yixin, who had come to the meeting, heard about the rebellion in Jiezhou and immediately pulled out a letter from his pocket. “Marshal Yu Fengwu was right! When she left the capital, she gave me this letter, saying that if anything happened in Jiezhou in the future, I should take out this letter.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Chen Yue and Yue Ru were both curious and surprised. Had Yu Fengwu foreseen the future changes in Jiezhou? What could the letter she left behind possibly contain?

"Yes! I also found it a bit strange at the time, so I asked Marshal Yu Fengwu why she didn't tell the two of you directly." Shi Yixin respectfully handed over the letter and continued, "Marshal Yu Fengwu only said that she hoped this letter would not be opened."

Upon opening the letter, Chen Yue and Yue Ru exchanged a sad glance. It turned out that Yu Fengwu had indeed anticipated that Krossos might be instigated by the people of Yunaia and start a new uprising in Jiezhou. However, if she raised this issue too early, she feared that Chen Yue and Yue Ru would preemptively deal with Krossos.

Yu Fengwu's greatest wish was to give Krossos a chance, after all, he was one of the six legion commanders of the empire. Moreover, Yu Fengwu also knew that Chen Yue and Yue Ru would probably secretly send people to monitor Krossos. If things still went wrong under such circumstances, it would mean that the envoy sent by Yunaia was very capable.

Finally, Yu Fengwu wrote in her letter—after all, she was the one who caused the trouble, so she had already arranged some countermeasures—"To resolve the rebellion in the state, Ji Wujiu alone is enough."

Seeing this last line, Chenyue and Yue Ru were somewhat unconvinced, but they had no choice but to order that Yu Fengwu's plan be followed. They ordered Ji Wujiu of Qingzhou to go to Jiezhou to deal with the mutiny, and at the same time sent an urgent order to Qingji, instructing him to lead cavalry to threaten the flank of Jiezhou and contain its troops.

After all, Krossos's rebellion was a minor matter; what was most noteworthy were the movements of Yunaia, Haiyingyang, and the Divine Clan army. Krossos's rebellion in Jiezhou was clearly orchestrated by Yunaia, with the aim of containing Ye Tianlong's power. Therefore, resolving it without mobilizing troops would naturally be the best outcome.

Currently, Ye Tianlong's two main forces are divided as follows: one, led by Li Die, is engaged in battle with Yunaya in the northwest of the imperial capital, Esnia; the other, led by Liu Qin'er, is fighting against the allied forces of Hai Yingyang and the Divine Race in Qingjiang Prefecture. The only mobile force is Qing Ji's cavalry.

However, Chen Yue and Yue Ru dared not be careless. While handing over Yu Fengwu's orders to Ji Wujiu in Qingzhou, they rearranged the work of the Tianlong spies, sending Lu Tu with a team of capable Tianlong spies to Jiezhou to meet Ji Wujiu.
