Chapter five hundred and seventeen: bad news
Luci smiled and said, "If my qualifications were not supported by the adults, I wouldn't have been able to be today. I am not because I am working hard enough in Storm Corner."
"It's good that you understand this principle. If you are willing to work hard, I'm willing to give you more things. But the most important thing is that you understand what our Marquis' Mansion wants."
"Sir, I'm not that smart. I'll do whatever I want me to do." Lu Xi is indeed from a humble background and has his distinctive characteristics in his words.
Xia He doesn't like such people, but Luxi is loyal enough. He was originally a pirate, but now he has moved his entire family to Sun City.
"You can do whatever I want you to do?" Xia He looked at Luxi and asked seriously.
"Of course, the adults cannot let me die directly. At most, I will give me a task that may die." Luxi also said seriously: "This task must have its value. I sent my wife and children to Sun City. If I die, the children will be taken care of by the adults, and there is nothing to worry about."
Xia He smiled and said, "Whose territory is the other shore?"
"Duke Zhesu. His territory is very large, even larger than our Rhodes Island, but there is a small town near the sea and there is no communication in normal times."
"I want you to provoke it and see what Zhesu reacts."
“Yes, what standard should we meet?”
"Don't touch their civilians. If their army or subordinate nobles are more excited, don't be afraid to kill people." Xia He said lightly.
"Then I know, how long will it take?"
"Take it slowly, don't worry, there must be a reason, it's just creating friction."
"yes."
Luxi didn't ask anything else, but only asked how much the specific operation was. Xia He was very satisfied. Duke Zhesu was an important figure in the House of Commons. However, his territory was huge and not rich.
Xia He suddenly wanted to tease him, but he remembered that he had encountered a bunch of things against him, especially the incident of the white sailboat, which was strange. It seemed that his reputation was not terrible enough. He used to be passive counterattacks, but now he took the initiative to try and see what the House of Commons reacted.
If Duke Zhesu is very strong, then there will be a war.
Although I have not reached the legendary realm, I have already had the ability to kill one or two legends.
The emperor was willing to give Rhodes to himself, not necessarily because Rhodes was poor. As long as someone was willing to invest in and develop, Rhodes could still develop with the technology of the empire. Because it was large in area and large in population, as long as it had the technology, it was enough to build an alchemy factory.
Besides, the underwater raw coal in the northern seas is also a great asset.
Others are too lazy to dig, but they are not lazy.
Maybe the emperor made him confront Duke Zhesu in the future. As for why, the emperor only knew. Xia He was about to restore the realm of Yangshen, and he was keen intuition. If he found a little idea, he would think of many things.
The mind of Taoist priests is different from that of magicians. Sometimes they can try it without evidence.
Xiahe spent less than a day in Daliang City, and added fifty soldiers. He took a boat to cross the strait and stepped onto the territory of Duke Zhesu. The seaside was quite deserted, and the climate here was better than Rhode Island, but it was full of mountains, stones, and no mineral veins.
And there are no fishing grounds on Rhode Island.
Xia He took his people to the opposite city directly. This city itself is also a military town. It was not established for a long time and was also used to monitor Rhode Island.
However, it is claimed that this is just a fishing port town.
After Xia He came, he went straight into the city. The guards guarding the city knew the badges on the other side because of their responsibilities. Looking at the badges on Xia He, he was a little dazed. Is the Blood Mage coming?
Xia He brought a hundred people, fully armed, and it was logical that he should stop him.
But how dare he? The Blood Mage kills people first and then solves the problem.
After Xia He entered the city, he knew that there was no combat power here and was a little disappointed. It seemed that Duke Zhesu really just sent someone to take a look at the other side of the river, without much action.
There are shops in the city, mainly selling food. Many troops stationed here will improve their food during holidays. There are also some entertainment venues that are not worthy of being told by outsiders.
There is nothing to be desired here. Xia He originally wanted to come in and rent a magic airship, because the fifty soldiers he brought were riding on Trojan horses. If they didn't accelerate, they could barely keep up. If they accelerated, the Trojan horse would just drag them down.
Xia He was disappointed and walked straight through the town and left at another city gate.
The soldiers of Duke Zhesu were all inexplicably and breathed a sigh of relief.
The Blood Mage on the other side passed through the town like this, as if no one was around, but no one could ask questions.
Xia He shook his head, this is an empty city. If a soldier does not have the courage to die, he will not be much better than a civilian.
Some soldiers couldn't help but say, "Sir, I just looked at the people in the town and saw you very afraid."
"You mean, they are not like soldiers, right?" Xia He glanced at the soldiers beside him. This soldier who was as high as 20th level, was trained by Medierli. The key is that he is very young, only twenty years old. He is good at swordsmanship and guns, and has more than a dozen warrior skills.
"Yes, sir, they don't even have the courage to stand up alone."
"If it were you, would you have the courage?"
"Of course, as a soldier, you must understand your responsibilities. If you can't do it, take off your armor and go home to farm." The soldier said proudly.
"There is no value for casualties." Xia He tentatively said.
"The Knight Captain once said that anything we do has value. Protecting the interests of adults is also one of the values. Without adults, no matter how powerful we soldiers are, they cannot be together and form a deterrent to the enemy. We will only be individuals."
"War Song...have you learned it?"
"Yes, just call out your name and we will have the courage."
Xia He sighed in his heart. He didn't like this very much. It would be fine to teach the war songs to others. His elite core does not need to be brainwashed like this.
However, he heard the soldier say again: "The Knight said that this skill is mainly for outsiders. When we use it ourselves, it is at the critical moment of life and death. If we are about to die, it is nothing wrong to contribute everything to the adults."
"You are so young. You hear me that the purpose of war is for victory. So I hope you all can live on the battlefield. Fighting hard on the battlefield is because whoever is willing to fight will easily survive. Outside the battlefield, the way you do things for me is not to die. I need you to win again and again on the battlefield."
The soldiers had long been taken over by Medielli and admired Xia He very much.
What Xia He said is naturally the golden rule.
Xia He felt bored, but these young people were not as reserved as the fifty soldiers later. They had absolute respect for Xia He and were used to it on the road. When Xia He was thinking about it, they would never disturb him. Only when Xia He was bored would soldiers chat with him.
Xia He recorded the mountains and rivers along the way and revised the map distributed to him by the empire. He arrived at the Tenth Magic Academy only in the late October. He gave up the plan to hire an airship.
When I came to the academy, I arranged for my soldiers to live in the dormitory. Anyway, his people were all gone, and a building was empty and no one dared to occupy it.
At the Tenth Magic Academy, Xia He was not in charge of it. Every time he came over, he would write a report and hand over some of the money. At first, he also selected students, but later, the students were no longer as clean and of excellent quality as before, but were mixed with good and good-looking people. Xia He gave up choosing here.
Anyway, Freya has many children all over the country, and there are enough Taoist priests in Taiyin Immortal Palace.
When he came back this time, Xia He took a nap and then went to the principal's office.
The Magic Tower said that it would not go anywhere, and it felt so strange. There was a kind of indescribable gloom. Xia He had a good impression of this person before. I don’t know why, but every time he met, Xia He felt a little tingling in his heart. It was not fear, but the most instinctive thing that he was a Taoist priest emerged.
Takashi's attitude towards him was different from before.
The first person to come to see Xiahe was Nicholas Nicholas as young as a few years ago, with a calm and unsightly change.
"Nicholas, the college suddenly invited me back. If something happened, I was responding to Your Majesty's call and sent a fleet to attack Red Sea City. If it was a trivial matter, why should I invite me over!" Xia He asked, anyway, he was the highest-level person in this school. So what if Nicholas was the emperor's confidant? There is a higher one in the magic tower.
Nicholas' reaction was strange. He was silent for a long time before he came to Xia Hedao: "I heard the news that the principal... she fell."
"Principal... you fart!" Xia He said angrily: "The principal's power is close to the demigod, how could it fall? Who is rumored that this is coming, I want to raise an army to destroy him!"
Nicholas was slightly shocked. The fierce aura released by Xia He was really worth it. At this moment, he felt like a monster, pressed by a powerful ancient dragon, and dared not move.
But he was an epic wizard after all, and he was not scared to death. He could only force himself to say: "Sir, this matter cannot be done for a falsehood, and no one dares to spread rumors, otherwise His Majesty would be the first to spare him."
Xia He's eyes emitted red light, staring at Nicholas, gasping slightly.
Nicholas Khan could only grit his teeth and continue, "If Lord Jennyvar dies, I have to invite you back. According to the law, you will be the next principal. But I dare not make such a message, so I have to ask you back to report my duties."
"Who knows this...?" Xia He calmed down and knew that Jenny Hua's death could not blame Nicholas.
"Only His Majesty and the few people in the House of Lords, and the other ones are the principals of several magic academies."
