Chapter 118 Let them have a taste of this

In the year 1254 of the Starlight Calendar, the month of the new moon.

Something happened that shocked the entire Principality of Stars.

Marquis Key Yanest of Flash publicly opposed the belief of the Spark Church, and angrily denounced the Spark Church for assassinating nobles and causing trouble to the country.

Three days later, Grand Duke of Stars publicly denounced Marquis Flash for his contempt for the state religion in the court meeting, and ordered Marquis Flash to immediately lift the ban on the Spark Church, allowing the Spark Church to enter the Jinyan Province to spread the belief, establish a church, and set an example to believe in the Spark Church, otherwise he would be regarded as a traitor and sent troops to suppress it.

On the day the decree arrived at the Flash Territory, Marquis Flash directly raised the flag of rebellion.

Marquis Baita responded later.

So after Marquis Jinyan, the second rebellion in the Principality of Stars with a greater momentum and scale arose.

Grand Duke of Stars was furious and ordered Marquis Soman, Marquis Zizhu and Marquis Hulan to send troops to suppress the rebels.

War was about to break out.

In the meeting room.

Everyone gathered together.

In addition to Keyi and Sunan, Breton, Joton, Starley and other core nobles of the Flash Territory were also present.

Everyone was discussing the strategic plan enthusiastically.

"Soman Province and Zizhu Province are located behind us. I suggest that we concentrate our forces to take these two provinces first, and then we can concentrate our forces and focus on attacking other provinces without worrying about fires in the rear."

"No, Soman Province and Zizhu Province are not strong. As long as we send an army to sit in Mengguang City, we can suppress them and make them unable to move. On the contrary, Hulan Province is coming with great momentum, so we must be cautious."

"That's right. In the previous beast disaster, the army of Hulan Province suffered almost no losses, which is much stronger than the other two provinces."

"It is because they cannot be underestimated that we must first solve Soman Province and Zizhu Province, stabilize the rear, and then concentrate on dealing with Hulan Province!"

"That's not what I said."

The people present quickly split into two groups of people and horses, arguing with each other, each with their own reasons.

Seeing this, Keyi was not angry, and looked at Sunan next to him calmly.

"Which one do you think is better?"

Sunan thought for a while, and asked instead: "What about the Marquis of Baita?"

"The Baita Province is close to the Red Leaf Province, and he will help us block the Red Leaf Province's army."

"Among the five provinces, in which provinces does the Spark Cult have the strongest power?" Sunan asked again.

"Red Leaf Province and Hulan Province."

Keyi said without thinking, obviously he was already familiar with this information.

"The Spark Church has the full support of the royal family, and its missionary work in Hongye Province is the most successful. It is also the territory where they have the widest reach and the strongest power."

"The second is Hulan Province. Many nobles in Hulan Province were assassinated by the Spark Church. The rest are either puppets supported by them or have interests in collusion with them. All medium and large towns in the province have branches of the Spark Church."

Su Nan's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly smiled: "In this case, you should attack Soman Province and Zizhu Province first, and take down the two weakest territories first."

Key hesitated and said: "What about Hulan Province?"

"I'll go to Hulan Province and cause some trouble for the Spark Church and the nobles there, so that they don't have time to focus on the war."

Su Nan showed a playful smile on his face.

"It's not possible that they always go and assassinate others, and nothing happens to them, right?"

"It's time to let them have a taste of this."

After hearing this, Keyi smiled, but then asked worriedly:

"Is it okay? The guys from the Spark Cult are not easy to deal with!"

"Don't worry, I know my limits."

Sunan smiled slightly, and although his tone was calm, it was full of convincing calmness and strength.

After hearing him say this, Keyi nodded and said no more.

The hall was quiet at some point, and everyone listened quietly to the conversation between the two.

Seeing that the Lord and His Excellency Sunan had finalized the next strategy in a few words, everyone stopped arguing and accepted it calmly.

After a while, a group of generals filed out of the gate of the Lord's Mansion, and hurried to different directions.

The war machine called Flash Territory quickly started to work.

Underground world, Youhu City.

Puppet factory.

Because of the proximity to the mineral vein, Sunan has recently been refining golem puppets in the puppet factory here.

At this time, the corner of the puppet factory was filled with dense double-edged spiders, which almost occupied half of the factory.

"One hundred and eight, ten more."

Sunan used the magician's hand to move the iron ingots in the corner and began to refine double-edged spiders.

Before going to Hulan Province, we must make full preparations.

It is definitely too late to refine the secret puppet, and the materials have not been collected.

But the second-ring legendary double-edged spider is no problem.

Sunan has been accumulating double-edged spiders during this period.

If it weren't for giving a batch to Keyi in the middle, he would have gathered 118 by now.

But it's not much difference, and it will be gathered soon.

With sufficient materials, Sunan only spent most of the day to refine eight double-edged spiders.

Then, he put all 118 double-edged spiders into the magic cube and chose to synthesize.

A black light flashed, and a giant black spider appeared in front of him instantly.

The size of the strengthened double-blade spider did not change much, but the color of its body became darker, emitting a cold metallic luster under the light of the magic stone lamp.

The two sharp forelimbs shone with cold light, which looked a bit creepy.

"Yes, it's enough to deal with a third-level wizard apprentice like Heb."

Sunan nodded with satisfaction.

A second-ring legendary puppet is enough to deal with a weaker third-level wizard apprentice.

With this trump card, this action is more certain.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in." Sunan said without looking back.

Carolina slid in with her tail shaking, her eyes fell on the double-edged spider in front of Sunan, and her body tensed up in an instant.

The wild intuition from her blood made her feel a strong threat from this double-edged spider.

She had only felt similar feelings from her master and the former city lord, Ursula.

Could this double-edged spider have the same level of combat power as Ursula?

With this thought, Carolina was shocked.

She always knew that her master was very good at refining puppets, and even had a first-ring legendary puppet, but she didn't expect that there were even second-ring legendary puppets.

If this can be mass-produced, let alone Matu and Orson, ruling the entire underground world is not a delusion!

"What's the matter?"

Seeing that Carolina just stared at the double-edged spider in a daze after coming in, without saying a word, Sunan couldn't help but frown slightly.

Carolina came back to her senses and bowed quickly, looking at Sunan with more awe.

"Master, the Red Widow and the Black Duke sent envoys to meet you."

Sunan raised his eyebrows: "What do they want?"

"It seems that they want to talk to you about joining forces to deal with Kasham."

Join forces?

Sunan was thoughtful.

It seems that the Red Widow and the Black Duke already know about the change of ownership of Youhu City. Otherwise, according to Carolina, the two city-states that joined forces to fight Kasham last time but were tricked by the Man-faced Sphinx would not take the initiative to come to seek cooperation.

Thinking of the previous spying actions of the two city-states, Sunan curled his lips and waved his hand, saying: "Send them away, I don't have time to care about this now, I'll talk about it after I finish my recent work."

Carolina hesitated, but in the end she said nothing and responded respectfully.

"Yes, Master."

After Carolina left, Sunan put away the double-edged spider and prepared to go to the warehouse to get another batch of golem puppets.

He knew what Carolina wanted to say just now, but he really didn't value cooperation.

The former human-faced lions could not fight against the bugs of Kasham alone, so they needed to seek cooperation.

Now that Youhu City has greatly increased its strength, even if it does not cooperate with the other two city-states, it has the power to fight Kasham.

And as time goes by, Youhu City will only become stronger and stronger.

Waiting for another year or two, it is not impossible to counterattack Kasham.

With enough confidence, Sunan does not intend to cooperate with the other two city-states in intrigue.

Thinking further, perhaps he could use Kasham's invasion to weaken the power of Matu and Orson, and then annex these two city-states to expand his territory.

Sunan's goal has never been limited to the corner of the underground world of Youhu City.

But now these are just ideas, and everything depends on the situation in Kasham.

"Let's solve the matter of the Spark Cult first."

Coming out of the warehouse, Sunan returned to the ground, stretched out his hand, and the hidden dragon emerged silently from his side.

He jumped onto the back of the hidden dragon and cast a light spirit spell on it.

The hidden dragon roared low, spread its limbs and ran forward.

Walking out of the workshop, Carolina frowned slightly.

She vaguely knew that a war was about to happen on the surface.

The recent series of deployments of the golem puppets also confirmed this information from the side.

Although the insects of Kasham are ready to move, there is no sign of invasion for the time being, so it is not surprising that the master focuses on the surface.

But it would be a bit vindictive to reject the cooperation request of Red Widow and Black Duke.

After all, from the geographical location, Youhu City is more threatened by Kasham. In the past, Red Widow and Black Duke saw this point and took advantage of Youhu City. Eusula was so angry that she set them up.

If she rejected them just like this, what if Red Widow and Black Duke also quit the fight? That would be a headache for Youhu City.

But Carolina didn't dare to question her master's decision even though she thought so.

When she walked into the meeting room, her beautiful face had returned to calm, without any ripples.

There were two people sitting in the hall.

On the right was a beautiful woman with blood-red eyes and pale skin without a trace of blood.

She was wearing a black cloak and had a somewhat cold temperament.

This was a messenger from Matu, a vampire.

On the left is a humanoid creature with a skull head and a body wrapped in shrunken flesh, with a strange blue-gray skin.

It has a pair of sharp claws on its hands, and a strange blue flame flashes in its empty eye sockets.

But what is more eye-catching is the dark flame on the top of its head, which surrounds its head like a corona.

It is obviously a flame, but it is not hot at all, but instead exudes a cold breath.

This is the messenger from Orson, a corpse ghost.

"I'm sorry, both of you, the master is busy now and cannot meet you. Please come again next time."

Carolina said straight to the point as soon as she entered the hall.

As soon as these words came out, the female vampire of Matu suddenly looked gloomy, and she suppressed her dissatisfaction and said: "Are you kidding, Carolina? I came all the way to Youhu City in person, but you used such a ridiculous reason to fool me. Do you think our Matu is easy to bully?"

Carolina said calmly: "I don't mean that, but the master is really busy, or you can stay here for a while, and when the master is done, he can meet you."

"Wait? How long?" The female vampire's face was gloomy, "Carolina, we didn't bother with you about the last matter, and we even came to discuss cooperation. We were very sincere, and this is how you responded to our sincerity?"

Carolina was unmoved: "That was done by Ursula, and it has nothing to do with my master."

The female vampire was very angry and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Orson's corpse ghost messenger.

"It seems that Youhu City has no sincerity in cooperation."

The corpse ghost messenger stood up and looked at Carolina indifferently, and the soul flame in his eyes emitted a cold light.

"In this case, there is no need for me to stay any longer."

After the voice fell, the corpse ghost messenger walked out of the hall without hesitation.

The vampire messenger frowned, then stood up and left.

"You will regret it, Carolina!"

As soon as the corpse ghost messenger walked out of Youhu City, he heard the sound of strong wind behind him, and the female vampire caught up.

"You are quite open-minded. Carolina is obviously perfunctory to us, but you are not angry at all?"

The corpse ghost messenger glanced at her and said calmly: "What if you are angry? Do you still want to fight with Carolina on the other side's territory?"

"Besides, the attitude of Youhu City has been made clear. I am only responsible for reporting this matter to Lord Black Duke. As for what to do next, it is his business to consider."

Hearing what the corpse ghost messenger said, the female vampire's expression gradually slowed down, but she was still a little unhappy.

"Carolina, that bitch, used to be so arrogant, but now she is groveling to a human, so despicable!"

"That is not an ordinary human, but a wizard."

The soul flame in the corpse ghost's eyes flashed, as if he was thinking.

"Carolina seems to be willing to become the wizard's slave. If you are not an extremely powerful person, I am afraid that Carolina will not be able to surrender like that."

"The new mayor of Youhu City may be more powerful than we expected!"

"Humph."

The female vampire snorted disdainfully.

"No matter how powerful he is, can he fight against Kasham's bugs alone?"

"Just watch. When Kasham's bugs make any unusual moves, they will have to come back and beg us!"
