She pushed up her glasses, and the lenses reflected a cold light.
"The royal court still has millions of subjects paying tribute, and all the blood taxes are concentrated in one place... Forget surpassing the Douya King. I'm afraid it would be difficult for people like us to even look up to him."
"Hey, hey, we're not gathered here to discuss how powerful Douya King is, but to think about what to do next."
The black-haired, golden-eyed boy standing next to Eye of Extinction spoke impatiently.
Although he has lived for hundreds of years, he still looks like a young boy.
He grinned, crossed his arms across his chest, and his every move was full of arrogance, and his tone was filled with undisguised arrogance.
"Even the world will be destroyed, how can there be eternal invincibility!"
With a rebellious expression and a delicate face that is difficult to tell whether he is male or female, if he imitates the Eye of Extinction and dresses as a woman and puts on a cute little skirt, he will look like a brown-skinned female ghost.
"Iblis Bell."
Eye of Extinction put down the teacup.
He, no, perhaps "she" would be a more appropriate term - she was dressed in a dark purple dress, which outlined curves more enchanting than those of an ordinary woman, and her every frown and smile was charming and alluring.
Even the voice that came out of her mouth since she was little was full of charm that ordinary women did not have.
Even the frown on her face was captivating.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be impatient."
Bell (Iblis Bell), who was named by his father, suddenly lost his momentum.
He dared to attack the other True Ancestors because the worst that could happen was death, but if he opposed the Eye of Extinction, he would definitely be wearing a pink dress, and he didn't want to be a effeminate man!
Xiao Gucheng suddenly knocked on the table lightly, and the crisp sound made the meeting room quiet down.
He looked around at everyone and said, "I won't say anything more. According to our previous strategic meeting, we still have two paths to take."
"First, Gengami Island continues to accumulate energy." Akatsuki Kojou looked at Bell.
"Just like you said, if the world can be destroyed once, it can be destroyed a second time. We must be prepared for any emergency."
"Secondly, even if we pay the blood tax and obtain the semi-independent rights in Jizhou promised by King Douya, this statement is just for show. If you really believe it, our destruction will not be far away."
Xiao Gucheng said in a deep voice, "All we have to do next is to actively move closer to the royal court. Not to mention taking over the position of Jizhou's governor, we have to take over at least half of the six governors."
"In terms of strength, we have a unique advantage."
"The land of Dongyun is our best opportunity to show our sincerity!"
Gain military merit, infiltrate the royal court, and provide protection for family and clansmen.
This is the consensus of everyone on Genshin Island.
No one is more despised than when a person leaves his hometown.
"Jia Da brought us good news. After appointing the governor of Yangzhou and the new military commander, the king issued a military order."
The voice of Eye of Extinction was as smooth as velvet, yet it carried unquestionable authority.
"The Hundred Demons Tribe, with its less restrictive nature and the greatest freedom of expression, is the preferred choice for the powerful on String God Island."
"We can arrange for people with the strength of elders and nobles to participate in the Shura Army of Yangzhou and the Cangya Army, the main combat corps of the royal court."
"Even with the personnel ratio limit, our people will still be in high positions. The only place that can compete with Genshin Island may be Tengu Mountain in Qingzhou."
Eye of Extinction's words were met with approval from everyone, and even Bell acknowledged this reality.
"The royal court's move is also for the sake of the army's control. If you see a unit composed of people from the same clan from top to bottom, you all know what it means."
Feidao Guyong's gaze lingered on the Eye of Extinction.
This True Ancestor, who had a close friendship with Jiada, had now become an important link in the dialogue between Genshin Island and the upper echelons of the Royal Court.
The position of Minister Jiada was abolished and she became the Minister of Public Security under the Minister of Justice.
As one of the high-ranking officials of the royal court, he is qualified to enter the top circle and can obtain the most core first-hand intelligence trends of the royal court at any time through the magatama network.
Even the Lion King Agency had to admit that the True Ancestors played this trick beautifully. In the wildly developing royal court, opportunities were everywhere. If they had been more decisive at the beginning, they would not have been so passive.
Among themselves, they are actually more inclined to take root in a world that is quite similar to their ancient history.
"If there is a chance, Your Excellency, Eye of Extinction, please consult Minister Jiada."
Feidao Guyong leaned forward slightly, a cold light flashing across his glasses. "If we join the army, will we serve as a whole with Xianshen Island, or will we divide and deploy the various ethnic groups?"
These words from the head of the Three Saints undoubtedly hit the key point.
If it is the former, they will be powerless no matter how hard they try.
There are no messy human relationships in the current royal court. The middle and high-level officials in the army are the loyal followers of King Dou Ya. If you want them to make concessions, they must be tired of living.
Everyone has to play by the rules.
But if it is the latter, the power that Gengami Island can integrate will exceed that of Tengu Mountain.
According to race, they include elves, vampires, witches, humans, artificial life forms, orcs, and even nightmares.
According to the division of power, it is even more diverse, and there are dozens of humans alone.
Genshin Island has accumulated the foundation of a world. Excluding the big monsters, the number of high-level monsters is comparable to the entire East Island.
"I will personally convey this matter to Jiada."
The Eye of Extinction narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously understanding the deep meaning, and nodded solemnly.
The proceedings continued late into the night.
After everyone discussed some details within the general framework of the original plan, Xiao Gucheng stood up with a bright look in his eyes.
"Gentlemen!"
His voice was not loud, but it made everyone look at him solemnly.
In those eyes, which had turned red due to the surge of magic power, was a passionate will born from long-term hardships and difficulties!
"What we are planning today is not only for ourselves, but also for the future of Xianshen Island. Please cooperate sincerely and continue our brilliant civilization on this land!"
This young man, who is only in his twenties, now truly possesses the demeanor of the strongest True Ancestor!
........................
Inner city, Grand Council.
The bronze animal-head lampstand emitted flickering flames, illuminating the pavilion like daylight.
The military orders issued over the past few days kept the lights on in this important place all night long.
A black iron sand table ten feet square stretched across the center, and the beautiful mountains and rivers of the royal court meandered and undulated among the fine cinnabar and iron filings.
Four states, twenty-four prefectures, and thousands of counties are located among them, with flags of various colors planted at key points.
The cabinet was bustling with people, and files piled high. Qi Tian, Shun Lei Ya, and Bing Lan Wan, who also served as the commander of the Yuanzhou Army, were the three permanent councilors.
Even the military commanders who were supposed to guard the frontiers—the Red Evil Ghost of Qingzhou—had not yet removed his red armor, and the sword of Jian Douwan of Jizhou was still covered in dust.
The Yangzhou military commander, Yatagarasu, even left the celebration banquet halfway through. The smell of smoke and alcohol on his body was burned away by the demonic fire, and he hurried in.
Everyone gathered together and discussed matters under the coordination of Grand Marshal Chi Ya Wan.
"Master Sima!"
Jian Douwan took a step forward, his figure like a sword drawn from its sheath, his whole body exuding a high-spirited spirit.
"Although the Shura Army is a garrison of one place, they still have the ambition to fight for the royal court."
"This time we will conquer Dongyun and secure the two states of Dong and Yun. The Shura Army of Jizhou is willing to come out in full force to expand the territory for our king!"
The sound was like the collision of metal, causing waves of echoes in the pavilion. The eternally burning lamp in the pavilion reflected the fighting spirit in his eyes like a raging fire.
"Since you knew it was the garrison, how could you leave the station so easily?"
Chi Ya Wan sat in the main seat, with "The Map of the Eight Desolate Conquests" hanging on the wall behind him. His slightly open eyes were as sharp as lightning, and his tone was stern.
"The current mission of the Shura Army is to clean up the place and protect it!"
After being scolded, Jian Doumaru didn't even think about continuing to fight. He retreated with reluctance and loss on his face.
The red evil ghost, who also wanted to follow suit, gave up the idea after seeing this.
The Grand Marshal sitting in the main seat in front of him is not only the king's father-in-law and the queen's biological father, but also the former king of the dog tribe. The reputation he accumulated through a lifetime of battles is as heavy as a thousand pounds, so heavy that one can hear a pin drop in the Military Affairs Council.
"Commanders, please report the number of troops and the security situation within your territory."
Upon hearing this, the five military leaders spoke one after another.
Bing Lan Wan said, "Yuanzhou is the foundation of our royal court. The Shura Army, Purgatory Guards, and Sharp Warrior Battalion are deployed in every prefecture and county. Together with the Nine Ministers' official residences, they sweep the four corners and maintain public security."
The Red Demon stepped forward and said, "In Qingzhou, apart from the sunflower fields, the garrisons at all levels are also well-equipped."
She paused and said, "The only problem is that there are many Tengu in the army. There are Tengu in all the third-level local armies."
"The purpose of having local clans join the army is to stabilize the area."
Chiyawan's eyes were sharp as a torch, and he said calmly, "Once the king starts implementing the garrison rotation system, these problems will naturally disappear."
The Red Evil Ghost nodded when he heard this and stepped aside.
Jian Douwan then stepped forward, his tone solemn, "The situation in Jizhou is similar to that in Qingzhou. Although the army is mainly composed of members of the Genshin Island, there is a mixture of various races, so it is relatively balanced."
"The rebels in the territory have been wiped out after repeated crackdowns, but..."
Seeing that he was about to speak but hesitated, Chiyawan immediately interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Just say it! Don't hesitate except to go to the front line!"
Jian Douwan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "After the devastation caused by the Yujia Kingdom and the migration of people from the royal court to rescue Jizhou, half of Jizhou is now deserted. Even the population of the capital city is less than tens of thousands."
Chiyawan's gaze lingered briefly on the Jizhou territory on the sand table. "The population issue has nothing to do with the military. We just need to fulfill our duty of protection."
The flickering candlelight in the pavilion cast his shadow on the "Eight Wildernesses Conquest Map", blending him into the blood-red mountains and rivers on the map.
He raised his head slightly, and a trace of cold wisdom unique to those who had experienced many battles flashed in his eyes.
"Jizhou boasts a vast expanse of fertile land. As long as the world remains at peace, we can, in due time, once again experience the splendor of 'mulberry and hemp fields abound, and fireworks stretch for thousands of miles.' Rest assured!"
Upon hearing this, Jian Douwan clasped his fists solemnly.
Akagamaru said no more and turned to look at Yatagarasu who had not yet reported.
The new commander of the Yangzhou Army stood tall and straight like a pine tree. Feeling the Grand Marshal's inquiring gaze, he immediately stepped out and saluted.
"Report to the Grand Marshal."
