Chapter Nine of the Romantic Continent: Victory Leads to Chaos

Standing atop the city wall, Gilmans watched the Temple Legion launch its three-pronged attack, a cold smile creeping onto his face.

It was utterly laughable. They thought a feint attack on the flanks would tie down the defenders on both sides? With a mere 20,000 men, they thought they could breach the well-defended city of Linji head-on? He wondered which amateur general commanded the Temple Legion!

Thinking this, Gilmans quietly ordered his men to withdraw 5,000 soldiers from each flank to reinforce the front, bringing the total defensive force to 30,000. Based on his previous understanding of the Temple Legion's strength, he was confident that with his 30,000 troops stationed there, even if they opened the gates, what could they do to him?

As dusk fell, the war-torn city of Linji was no longer the bustling city it once was. A few scattered lights on the streets indicated that it was a considerable city, but the vast residential areas were either locked up or heavily secured, devoid of any light.

On the city's defenses, Gilemans ordered lanterns to be hung high, connecting the three sides of the defenses so that any incident could be quickly detected and addressed. The arrogant and smug Gilemans had no idea that his supposedly clever and boastful actions were, in the eyes of Ning Su'er and Long Ling'er, a massive vulnerability. With

flying vehicles constantly scouting above Linji City, and the activated magic crystal beads, Gilemans's ridiculous actions were always under the watchful eyes of the Holy Temple Legion.

The horns sounded, and the Holy Temple Legion, each with its assigned tasks, launched a simultaneous attack from three sides.

The soldiers on the flanks were all infantry, knowing their mission was merely a feint to draw the enemy's attention. Therefore, they unleashed a devastating barrage of arrows. Each arrow fired by the enchanted archers possessed immense power, capable of shattering armor and helmets. Despite the city's formidable defenses, a significant number of soldiers were caught off guard and became studs.

Long Ling'er, leading the attack from the front, had a glint in her eyes. The defenders on the city walls also unleashed a volley of arrows at the Holy Temple Legion, but the Holy Temple Legion was prepared. The infantrymen raised their shields to form a massive shield, easily dodging the enemy's fiercest barrage.

A direct assault was definitely not going to work; Ning Su'er and Long Ling'er had made this clear during their discussion in the main tent. After their initial attack, the Holy Temple Legion advanced fifty zhang, only a short distance from the city walls remaining.

In the center of the five hundred Holy Wind Knights, a circular platform was raised high, upon which stood Ning Su'er, clad in a black wind-swept robe. She formed spheres with her hands, silently chanting an incantation, and a ball of light immediately appeared in her palms, shimmering with lightning and shifting shadows.

As Ning Su'er slowly rose to her feet, the ball of light between her hands grew larger and larger, rapidly spinning. Instantly, the surrounding air seemed to be drawn and pulled by the sphere of light. A strong wind arose, and in the blink of an eye, a powerful vortex appeared. The enormous sphere of light suddenly exploded, and scattering gusts of dark wind shot into the vast sky. In the blink of an eye, massive dark clouds and lightning pressed heavily down on the earth.

"...In the name of the Wind God, I summon the raging winds! Sweep across that fortified city!"

Ning Su Nu shouted, raising her arms, and two roaring whirlwind dragons swept towards the city walls of Linji City.

"Heavens, wind magic! Who did this?"

Seeing the world change color, Gilimans felt a sense of foreboding and ordered his subordinates to investigate immediately. Based on his understanding of the Holy Temple Legion, they couldn't possibly possess such power. Even if they gathered all their magic soldiers, plus a Grand Master, they couldn't possibly unleash such powerful wind magic energy in one go.

Before his subordinates could investigate, a sound of collapsing earth came from above. Immediately afterward, tiles and debris flew everywhere, dust billowed, and a gust of wind swept in, revealing him and his staff surrounded by ruins.

Everyone was horrified. Gilimans stood frozen, unable to make a sound, a sight his subordinates observed, seemingly believing him to be calm and collected.

"My lord, what do we do?" a subordinate officer asked in terror after a long pause.

"Damn it, where are our magic troops? Tell them to hold them off!" Gilimans, jolted awake by his subordinate's panicked voice, saw the state of his command post and, disregarding all dignity, roared.

"My lord, they were already on the city walls," the subordinate officer replied.

"Then order all the defenders to hold them!" Gilimans roared in exasperation.

Meanwhile, Ning Sunu's spellcasting continued unabated. The two whirlwinds that followed had destroyed Gilimans' command post within the city. She then chanted again, and the dark clouds in the sky, like raging waves, roared down upon Linji City, countless tiny whirlwinds tearing at the armor of the defending soldiers.

Simultaneously, the Holy Wind Knights' magic team unleashed a powerful earth-shattering spell, combined with Ning Sunu's heart-piercing, razor-sharp wind blades. Gilimans's southern army defending the city was as if enveloped in a black hole of earth-shaking chaos, instantly losing its fighting capacity!

On the other side, the aircraft that had carried out the aerial mission returned, this time carrying a large number of magical fireballs, which were accurately dropped on the heads of the defending soldiers. Instantly, flames soared into the sky, explosions resounded, and the shattered remains of soldiers fell to the ground amidst the violent shaking of the city walls, shouts and curses echoing throughout Linji City.

"Boom..."

Finally, under the relentless onslaught of hurricanes, explosions, and earth-shattering spells, a gaping hole appeared in the sturdy city wall.

The Temple Legion, which hadn't faced a counterattack from the defenders for some time, swarmed through the breach. Whether they had been feinting attacks or launching a frontal assault, all, led by their respective commanders, crossed the gap and engaged the retreating Southern Legion in a chaotic melee.

Gilimans, protected by his personal guard, attempted to organize a resistance as he withdrew. However, firstly, the army crumbled like a house of cards; secondly, the rearguard discovered that the Temple Legion was using an unknown weapon—a black, two-foot-long object held close to their chests, from which beams of extremely white light shot out, instantly killing those struck. Therefore, aside from sporadic resistance at the beginning of the retreat, by the time they were almost out of the city, it had completely devolved into a desperate escape!

The Temple Legion immediately entered Linji City. Ning Sunu remained in the city to handle some post-disaster cleanup work, while Long Ling'er led the main force to continue pursuing the fleeing Gilimans. She thought that since he had tricked Ye Tianlong into faking his death to escape last time, she couldn't let this golden opportunity slip by!

When news of the Temple Legion's great victory reached Ye Tianlong in the capital, Esnia, he was as incredulous as a child.

Yu Fengwu and the others mostly smiled silently, especially Princess Qian, who was most familiar with Ning Sunu's situation after gaining magical abilities. This action must have been within her expectations; otherwise, she wouldn't have encouraged Ning Sunu to go south to undertake such a significant mission.

As for the beautiful State Secretary Yue Ru, she saw another powerful and beautiful woman beside Ye Tianlong. Moreover, her gaze was more focused on the effectiveness of the secret weapon Ning Sunu and her group had brought.

Reminded by Yue Ru, the overjoyed man felt it necessary to carefully investigate the progress of the Heavenly Mystery Research Institute. The situation on the mainland is becoming increasingly tense, and a storm sweeping across the entire continent is imminent. Being able to lead the world in weaponry would undoubtedly be crucial for future strategy.

Surrounded by his wives, Ye Tianlong inspected the Tianji Research Institute.

The Heavenly Mystery Research Institute is located within the Palace of No Worries, converted from the former Royal Academy. As is well known, the Fast Empire suffered a series of calamities, with most of the original royal family members perishing in the chaos. The Royal Academy was naturally left idle until Huan Yun, a girl from the Heavenly Mystery Clan, happened to be there. Later, the Heavenly Mystery Research Institute was established using this space.

Passing through layers of halls, Ye Tianlong strolled through the garden, playfully interacting with the ladies, until

he arrived at the Heavenly Mystery Research Institute. Yue Ru, who had been following him, felt a strange sense of envy at the sight, but immediately suppressed it upon seeing Huan Yun arrive. "Little Dean, His Majesty has come to inspect the work." Before anyone could speak, Princess Qian skipped over to Huan Yun, patting her shoulder and speaking first.

"Huan Yun greets His Majesty and all the ladies!" Huan Yun cleverly bowed, greeting Ye Tianlong and the beauties around him.

"Hehe, no need for formalities." Ye Tianlong smiled and raised his hand, gazing at the clever and beautiful Tianji Clan girl. He immediately thought of Long Ling'er from back then. Including Princess Qian, the three of them did indeed share a striking resemblance. He couldn't help but feel a pang of affection for this girl, just as he had felt for Princess Qian and Long Ling'er.

"Sister Huanyun, His Majesty wishes to learn about the development of new weapons at your Tianji Research Institute. Could you give everyone a tour and an introduction?" Yue Ru said quickly to Huanyun when she saw everyone standing there.

"Yes, Your Majesty, everyone, please follow me." Huanyun immediately made way for everyone to enter.

Along the way, Huanyun and Princess Qian introduced the items inside to everyone. Among them were new magical weapons such as the flying machines that Ning Su Nu and Long Ling'er had brought to the southern battlefield, as well as many pieces of active military equipment. Some older equipment, thanks to the modifications and improvements made by the Tianji Clan girl and her team, had been transformed, with their combat effectiveness greatly enhanced.

Finally, Ye Tianlong spotted something very familiar—a magic cannon!

"Hmm, did you guys build this?" Ye Tianlong asked with great interest, circling the behemoth.

"Yes, we just finished it. It took our boss a lot of effort," Huan Yun replied, glancing at Ye Tianlong with barely concealed pride.

"This is fantastic! Back in the Battle of Tianfeng, this thing was incredibly powerful! If our Tianlong army were fully equipped with these, we could hit anything we wanted, it would be a piece of cake!" Ye Tianlong stroked the massive cannon barrel, as if he were looking at a stunningly beautiful woman, his large hands gliding over her silken skin.

"Your Majesty, our Tianji people will never lack creativity. Currently, our biggest challenge is the availability of materials to manufacture these weapons. Once this problem is completely solved, I believe Your Majesty's army will be equipped with the most advanced weaponry on the continent, making its combat power unmatched throughout the entire continent." Huan Yun, perhaps seeing Ye Tianlong's high spirits, revealed what she considered the biggest constraint so far.

"Haha, that's no longer a problem. We just acquired the Li Yuan warehouse; money and provisions are not an issue. Whatever materials are needed, we can simply purchase them in sufficient quantities from various countries on the continent." Ye Tianlong waved his hand, speaking with immense pride.

"This is wonderful for us. Although having money doesn't guarantee sufficient materials, I believe the day Your Majesty's army is fully equipped with these new weapons is not far off." Huan Yun's eyes flashed with a gleam as she echoed.

"Yes, then I'll be waiting for that day to come!" Ye Tianlong declared loudly.

Returning from the Tianji Research Institute, Ye Tianlong was still immersed in the dazzling array of advanced weapons.

But not long after, the ruthless man from the Iceblood Demon Clan dealt him a series of blows. Listening to Lu Tu's incessant report, Ye Tianlong's sword-like eyebrows furrowed deeply.

According to news just transmitted from the south by Tianlong's spies, after Ning Su'er and Long Ling'er led the Temple Legion to defeat Gilimans's southern army in Linji City, Long Ling'er led her army in a relentless pursuit, achieving victory after victory. By the time Tianlong's spies reported back, the vast southern territory had been subjugated by the Temple Legion.

Gilimans, in his rout, had no chance to catch his breath; his remaining forces retreated south, eventually losing even his stronghold, Luzhou. The Temple Legion, its prestige soaring, was invincible, relentlessly pursuing Gilimans until they were forced to the last state on the border between Fast and Chu-Yue—Changli State.

After several days of pursuit, the Temple Legion had also subjugated Changli City, but Gilimans and his group had fled into the dense forests of the border mountains, making it unlikely they could be completely wiped out in a short time.

However, at this very moment, the King of Chu-Yue, citing rampant banditry on the border, amassed a large army at the frontier. Recently, small groups of troops had already crossed the border under the pretext of attacking the Gilimans, who were disrupting the peace of the border residents. Intelligence gathered locally and by Tianlong spies hidden in the Chu-Yue capital suggests that Chu-Yue intends to take advantage of the internal power struggles within Fast and the invasion of Fast by Wu'an and Yasu, hoping to gain a share of the spoils!

Even more dangerous situations lie ahead. After more than two months of investigation and verification, the confessions of the secret agents from various countries hidden in Esnia, who were captured by Ji Wujiu during the New Year's Festival celebrations, have been clarified.

Taking advantage of Esnia's preparations for its first New Year's Festival since Ye Tianlong's ascension to the throne, various forces from across the continent gathered in the capital, believing that a country that had just experienced the chaos of a coup would surely yield unexpected intelligence, and also believing that the capital's security situation at the time posed no threat to them. Thus, their activities began even before the New Year's Festival, their brazenness both infuriating and laughable to Ji Wujiu, who had been monitoring them.

Whether openly rampant or operating covertly, all were thoroughly investigated by Ji Wujiu, in conjunction with the Tianlong secret agents and Yue Ru's Wan Yan Society. He decisively took action, wiping them out before the seven renowned singers and dancers' performances at the New Year's Festival.

This interrogation and verification lasted for over two months, continuing to this day. It turned out that from that time onward, Wu An, Ya Su, Chu Yue, and Parry had been in contact, ultimately reaching a plan to seize the Fast Empire amidst the chaos.

They agreed that Wu An and Ya Su would first advance into the northwest of Fast, and when the time was right, Parry and Chu Yue would respectively advance into the north and southwest of Fast. In this way, even if the Fast people had three heads and six arms, they couldn't simultaneously cope with attacks from all sides, especially since they knew the Fast Empire was currently fragmented, making their goal incredibly easy to achieve!

"Just as I thought. Chu Yue has already made its move, and next it will probably be Pari's turn!"

After listening to Lu Tuxian's report, Ye Tianlong sighed, frowning deeply in thought. Connecting all the events, the intentions of the various countries couldn't be clearer. As a country in the heart of the Fengyue Continent, whoever controls Fast is practically guaranteed a three-way split of the world.

The matter in Yunyang must be resolved quickly! Thinking this, Ye Tianlong said to Lu Tuxian, "Old Lu, thank you for your hard work. Continue to closely monitor the movements of the various countries. You should go back now!"

Lu Tuxian acknowledged and withdrew. Ye Tianlong hurriedly turned and went to Yu Fengwu and the others.

After hearing Ye Tianlong's idea, Yu Fengwu and Chen Yue immediately objected.

It turned out that after Ye Tianlong found them, he told them about Lu Tuxian's latest report and proposed that he lead a portion of the Imperial Guard to Yunyang to assist Li Die in resolving the matter in Yunyang as soon as possible, so as to avoid being caught off guard if Chu Yue in the south and Pari in the north caused trouble.

"Fengwu, listen to me. I once said I would protect you, to keep you from any harm. I haven't done enough in the past, but since I took this position, I've vowed that I, Ye Tianlong, will create the most perfect environment for my beloved women. I will do it myself!" Ye Tianlong said passionately, his gaze sweeping over each of the ladies, filled with a tender affection that could soften the world.

Yu Fengwu and the other women exchanged glances and nodded slightly. Faced with such a deeply devoted lover, what reason did they have to refuse him?

"Go, Tianlong. We'll be here in the capital; everything will be alright," Yu Fengwu finally said.

"Thank you all. I will return as soon as possible," Ye Tianlong said, bowing deeply to the women, a rare occurrence for him.
