Chapter 447: The Khan of Pemos May Be Yuri From Another World
The first person to push him was naturally the third prince.
There was no way, he was the boss, and now that he had the opportunity, he naturally had to help Christine and Feng En.
But the second person to push him was not the Duke of Chongshan, but the second prince after listening to the report of the Duke of Jusen.
From the fact that he would attract and train craftsman families like Fengxian to develop technology for himself, while the third prince would only rush over and slaughter them all, it can be seen that he is much more stable than his "third brother".
And stability often means calmness, and calmness often means more time to consider gains and losses, to find a more suitable entry point and solution for oneself.
That's right, after thinking carefully, he thought of the operation method - you praise them, right? Okay, I praise them too!
And not only did he use his own connections to praise them, but the second prince also praised them in person.
At the celebration banquet hosted by the Duke of Jusen, he specially called Christine and Feng En, who accepted the invitation out of courtesy and the tradition of the deep forest, and praised them in front of everyone.
But who doesn't know that the second prince and the third prince have always been at odds with each other? So this enthusiasm confused them. They were afraid of being accused of something, so they almost didn't dare to talk to him.
But the second prince didn't do this to win him over. After all, he was already the third prince's man, and he couldn't win him over no matter how hard he tried.
And the second prince was not a fool. It was impossible for him to fall into such a ridiculous counter-espionage plan and actively push them over.
So the third prince did this to leave a name, of course, not fame, but a good reputation in the aristocratic circle.
Looking back, even Christine, who was still inexperienced and stubborn at the time, knew that the most important thing for a bad guy was actually a good person.
Then how could the Shenlin nobles, who were all polished into shrewd people under high-intensity confrontation, not know this truth?
Therefore, even in the life-and-death royal struggle, those who are willing to show mercy and spare others' lives, even if they fail in the end, can often have a better ending, at least not to lose their heads.
Well, now the second prince, because these two people have made great contributions to the kingdom, has put aside past grudges, gone all out, and praised and praised them regardless of their status and position.
What is this called?
This is called considering the overall situation!
This is called the generosity of putting the interests of the kingdom above one's own!
To put it bluntly, the principle of the second prince's operation is actually similar to Ji Ming's.
Everyone needs a good person in their circle of friends. Regardless of whether he is a good person or not, the second prince is targeting this ecological niche.
And whether the third prince can see his purpose or not, this is already an open conspiracy, an open conspiracy that forces the third prince to make up his mind.
Because since even his opponents support him so much, then as a master, in order to convince the public, he can only and must increase his efforts, and he must fight against the second prince no matter what.
The third prince: Grandma, you want to embarrass me, right? I'm following!
So the third brother also began to use his connections in China to help Christine and Feng En, and tried every means to help them get a better reward.
In order to match the behavior of the second brother who boasted in public, he even rewarded Christine with his own kingdom knights, which had been reduced to less than a thousand, under the banner of "rewarding Christine's spirit of sacrifice", and also exchanged for a generous reputation.
Of course, generosity is indeed generous. After all, with this group of elite knights, Christine's power and other rights in the Glowing Kingdom can almost beat the southern tyrant Earl Yanshan by three streets.
In this way, both sides gradually increased the stakes, and finally reached the end of one earl and one viscount, and all of them got the fiefdom and became powerful nobles.
However, although the third prince, who was a big injustice, paid a lot of effort in it, and lost a wave of blood in the country after losing troops and generals, it is actually not without benefits.
Because while he was operating everywhere, he did not forget to market his personal IP by telling stories, and promoted how he bravely broke through and led the Duke's coalition to save the hero.
You must understand that the Deep Forest people like this kind of "epic" legendary story the most. The name "Third Prince Yagro Lionheart" spread throughout the Deep Forest at a very fast speed, and even to the Radiance.
So if the public support can be digitized, then his wave has at least increased by one percentage point, which is a big step forward in this death race called power.
So the second prince got a good name, the third prince got a good name, and the person involved got a good name. It's interesting to say that this wave of fighting between princes unexpectedly achieved a win-win outcome.
However, if you jump out of this incident and magnify it to the macro situation, it's not so perfect for the person involved.
At the very least, because the second prince's fiefdom is rich in magic crystals and the third prince's fiefdom is rich in mithril, their factions are called the Magic Crystal Faction and the Mithril Faction respectively.
Because of this major incident, Christine and Feng En, whose careers will be marked with the "Mithril" emblem, will inexplicably have a large group of enemies in the kingdom in the future.
Although the open targeting may not be very fierce, considering the fine traditions from the ancestor king, someone might secretly step on their feet as revenge when attending the noble banquet.
Feng En: No, it is clear that I am the only one who will be stepped on! Because no one would be willing to step on a horse's hoof, unless he is born with an iron body that is not afraid of kicking!
But is this important to the parties involved?
It is not important. At least they, who are well-off, pretend that it is not important on the surface.
But secretly, under the banner of "traveling with family", Viscount Feng En passed by Count Christine's fiefdom as if nothing had happened.
"Welcome, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
There were three people sitting in the conference room, which didn't need to be very big, but had to be very big because of the giant horse.
After so much, even a pig should have grown up, so Christine is no longer the tax minister of the Business Federation who didn't even have a reliable staff officer and was completely alone.
Now she has a leadership team of three people, including Shuang and the adjutant, and they can discuss anything on weekdays.
Although it is still a weak grass platform, it is better in unity and knowing each other well, at least it can be open when discussing.
So now, this small group trying to gain a foothold in the storm is obviously about to welcome the fourth member.
While they were conspiring behind closed doors about their next plan, on the other side, the Khan of Pemos also led the army back to the grassland.
Because there are many tribes on the grassland, and most of them have the habit of living by the water and grass, the Khan's way of recruiting soldiers is mainly conscription.
That is, every year each tribe must send a corresponding number of warriors to participate in the grassland expedition, carrying honors or returning in coffins.
It doesn't sound very good, because the evil villains in those stories seem to like this method of sharing the burden.
But the difference is that the royal court did not share all the burdens, because while recruiting soldiers, they would also continuously issue subsidies according to the amount allocated to each tribe.
This subsidy includes money to buy training equipment, money to supplement nutrition, money to make up for the decline in family income due to training and war, and money to purchase qualified equipment when officially going out.
Even if due to various changes, the recruited object failed to get a full set of equipment when going out, the royal court could temporarily fill it for him, and then use military merits and spoils to pay it back, so as to avoid the embarrassment of the warrior without a sword.
All these things made Ji Ming ask the boss again and again when he was studying the things about the Peimos grassland, are you sure this big lion is not a time traveler?
The boss also checked the world laws and world destiny again and again, repeatedly confirming whether Peimos Khan is the original life of the Yangyue world.
The final conclusion is "yes", and not only "yes", he has not yet come into contact with any substantial savior relics.
Then there is only one possibility-Peimos Khan Xili Dege, he is really a man sent from heaven.
Therefore, although the three princes successfully plundered several border tribes and finally failed to execute him on the spot, this did not diminish the Khan's lofty prestige and ruling power in the slightest.
And strictly speaking, from the perspective of gains and losses in this war, the Peimos Khanate is indeed not a loser, and can even be said to have a few points of victory.
First, thanks to the rapid and powerful pursuit, they not only recovered the losses of the tribes, but also plundered a lot of supplies from the Third Prince's army. Otherwise, the little brat would not have been unable to hold on for only seven days.
And although the border tribes suffered losses, it was mainly because the wind and snow caused them to migrate too slowly. Now the royal court took the initiative to compensate with some spoils of war, so how could they have any objections?
Second, after the confrontation with the Third Prince, although it was the grassland people who took the initiative to retreat, while avoiding greater losses, they also successfully cut off the other side's channels to recover the thousands of captives, and successfully returned to the grassland with so many strong laborers.
There is a saying that if you save people and lose land, both people and land will be saved, and if you save land and lose people, both people and land will be lost. The grassland people value the gains and losses of population the most, so naturally they will not put pressure on the Khan on this matter.
But the grassland people are happy, but the prisoners of war, who were more than 7,000 after the count, are numb.
Because according to the legend of the border army, every captured Deep Forest person will not have a good end.
The strong ones will be sent to the mines and ranches to do hard labor until they are exhausted to death, and the thin ones will be sent to the villages as slaves until they are disgusted to death.
The unlucky ones will be used as experimental subjects to study how to deal with Deep Forest people, locked in cages, and tortured to death with various things.
But the most terrifying thing is that because of their good health, they are captured by energetic female pig people who particularly like humans...
Of course, none of the above horror stories have been seen by Deep Forest people.
But what they all know is that Pemos Khan, the damn golden lion man, can control the mind!
Because it is not the first or second time, it is clear that the Deep Forest warriors who were extremely determined before, when they appeared again after being captured by Pemos, have already joined the enemy camp.
And if you want to join, join them, one by one, they look more excited than the grassland people. Except that they are not as decisive as them in using knives, they are simply grassland people in the skin of Deep Forest.
The most fatal thing is that they didn't use their knives not because they were soft, but because they kept shouting beside them.
"You have all been deceived by the nobles of the Deep Forest. They will not give you any benefits if you fight hard here!"
"Only when the war ends soon can everyone live a good life. If the war continues, only the nobles will benefit!"
This made the Deep Forest warriors very angry, and they were really scared after being angry.
- What did the grassland people do to them? How could they have such a strange idea?
The fear was deeply rooted as similar incidents happened again and again, making them like frightened birds...
It was the first time I saw my admired senior being beaten by a weirdo with tentacles... er, er, a magical girl who had fallen from grace.
But now, this fear has finally become reality, because they have become the magical girl who was captured in Miaomiao House.
"Brother, what should we do?"
"I don't know, why don't you ask your second brother?"
"Don't be afraid, little brother, it will be the same even if the lights are turned off, come on!"
Thousands of prisoners of war were taken to a valley with many buildings by the grassland people in a panic, and then...
And then there was nothing else.
Except for the grassland people guarding outside the valley, they were like a group of cattle and sheep, being grazed here for seven days without doing anything.
Uh, let's put it in play...
Of course, there were warriors who tried to escape during this period, but they were all caught by the grassland people without exception.
"It's over! Big brother, our legion commander has also been arrested. He is a warrior professional of more than 40 levels."
"Hey, I'm afraid someone will really die this time... Second brother, what do you think?"
"Don't be afraid, little brother. You are so beautiful. There will definitely be many pig girls vying for you. Remember to help us when the time comes."
It is understandable that the prisoners would panic, because even in the deep forest, a few fugitives like this would be picked out and hanged for public display.
But the fact is that they didn't. Instead, they were just locked up in a single room nearby and implemented the simplest house arrest punishment.
This outrageous behavior made the prisoners in the deep forest even more uneasy, but they couldn't escape or die, so they could only stay at ease.
Finally, on the eighth day after being imprisoned in the prisoner-of-war camp, on a calm morning, the grassland people gathered them all on the playground.
"Wuwuwu, big brother, I don't want to die."
"It's okay, when the knife comes, I will take it for you, at worst, we brothers will go together!"
"Big brother, I don't think you can do it, because that pig girl must like me more..."
"No, second brother, I know you are a monster, but can you stop talking about this matter, you see how scared the little one is?"
"Okay... Oh, by the way, little brother, second brother suddenly remembered that my family has an ancestral kidney-tonifying recipe, remember it..."
"Ah! (Unbearable scream)"
