Your war hammer is too fake

Two saints whose strength is comparable to that of the White Wolf God, five dragon sons who are tough even by the standards of the Emperor Dragon, heavy armor everywhere, the strongest line-resisting infantry and long-range infantry of the Order Humanity, a well-developed and comprehensive firearms unit, a huge number of large Kongming lanterns powered by Suzaku, and an equally huge number of Magic Gundams...

[Group leader #An Jiyue: There are also changes to the Dragon Fleet. In the old setting, the Dragon Fleet belonged to Nibon, but in the new setting, it belongs to Zhendan, and it is set to be one of the most powerful navies in the entire Middle Ages.]

[Evan de Richelieu: Nibon's dragon fleet became something of Zhendan, isn't this a kind of NTR. ]

If we refer to the situation on Earth in reality, we can understand how this change came about. The Seventh Fleet Anti-Submarine Brigade (Note 1) has long been reduced to Mrs. Niu, and the crazy PLAN is the most beautiful child in the Pacific Ocean. The reason why the US and others on the other side of the sea can still maintain their position as the strongest navy is purely due to their existing stock.

[Administrator #XiaoYiYue: Although I also like to laugh at XiaoRiZi, I would like to remind you that the post is off track.]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: We can’t continue the discussion if we don’t ask questions. I don’t have any good solutions to the empire’s problems… huh? ]

Hearing some noises, the girl raised her head and waved her hand to signal Nishikori Shige, who had already placed her hand on the hilt of the knife, not to be nervous. She stood up from the recliner and looked in the direction of the sound.

A golden cat and a silver cat appeared in the girl's sight.

……

Don't use nouns indiscriminately... A sissy is a biological male. What do you think her biological gender is, dog group leader?

Chapter 376: Golden Flower, Silver Grass

Seeing the two highly recognizable cats, An Jiyue's first reaction was to look for a well nearby...

Well, the governor pulled back his thoughts that were about to run away and looked at the two cats carefully. Although the golden male cat looked like a cat, it looked inexplicably solemn and majestic. Its tail twitched from time to time, looking like a spirit snake spitting out its tongue; the silver female cat was also very strange. It had a compassionate face and was filled with a kind of maternal love that was extremely unfamiliar to An Jiyue. A crescent-shaped blue hair could be vaguely seen on its back.

An Jiyue stared at the two cats, and the cats were also observing the governor. After thinking for a while, An Jiyue half-knelt down, made a photo frame shape with his fingers, and then looked at the golden cat and the silver cat with expectation.

The golden cat raised the corners of its mouth, its whiskers twitching, and looked at the girl as if she was looking at a fool; the silver cat meowed, then came over and squeezed its furry head into the "photo frame".

"Oh, what a good kid!" An Jiyue picked up the silver cat and held it in her arms. Although she was from Zhejiang before she traveled through time, she subconsciously uttered a sentence in Sichuan dialect. She reached out and gently stroked the silver cat's head. The excellent touch made her want to do it again and again, and she couldn't stop at all.

As she was touching it, An Jiyue suddenly had a very strong premonition in her heart. As a psychic, she followed the vague guidance in her heart without hesitation, summoned the War Codex and turned to the card drawing page, selected the "Entertainment Pool" sub-item and did a ten-draw on the spot. The next moment, the card drawing page burst into purple light.

In the eyes of the two cats, no one knew what the thing in front of them was, but it was definitely not a human being. It made several strange movements in succession, and its empty right hand swiped and clicked in the air in front of it. Then, a 64-opening card with purple as the main color appeared in its hand, and the back of the card was printed with a three-color pattern of black, gray and white.

The silver cat moved its body in the arms of the governor, and its furry head poked out from the side, almost sticking to the card. The front of the card had the words "Entertainment Card" in bold font, and in the middle was a strange metal round cake pattern, with a line of small words covering the pattern, "Meow Pam Premium Cat Canned Food (80g x 50)".

Canned cat food?

Before the silver cat could think about what it was, the purple card suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, fifty metal round cakes appeared on the floor, with the same shape as the pattern on the card. As the silver cat was curious and the gold cat pretended not to be curious, An Jiyue picked up a cat can and opened it. In an instant, a certain smell filled the room and entered the noses of the two cats.

"Meow!" When the golden cat reacted, it found itself standing on its two hind legs, with its two front legs tightly holding onto An Jiyue's calves and refusing to let go. In its eyes, which were mixed with self-doubt and great expectation, An Jiyue put the opened cat can on the ground, and then put the silver cat next to the cat can.

Then, the silver-haired, red-eyed girl opened another cat can and placed it on the ground. As soon as her fingertips left the can, the golden cat pounced on it like a spring, lowered its head and started chewing fiercely.

Fortunately, I deployed the anchor point on the first day I arrived in Weijing, An Jiyue thought to herself. All functions of the War Codex involving void creations, whether it is recruiting troops, dropping supplies or anything else, can only be carried out in places where anchor points are deployed. After the "Winter Security Rectification Operation" in West Territory ended, Aiwen finally saved enough money to pay off the 115 million points plus the debt of a rare card in one go. If not, the Jiedushi really couldn't come up with the money to buy an anchor point for a while.

Deploying a secondary anchor in Weijing was the result of her careful consideration. As the problem of food supply could not be solved, An Jiyue finally gave up the plan to shoot a city heart in Kewangbao and used the points elsewhere. As the capital of the Zhendan Dynasty, the importance of Weijing cannot be overemphasized.

Just as An Jiyue was habitually thinking about her strategic layout, she felt something pushing her boots. She lowered her head and saw a golden cat with soup on its mouth and beard. It was raising its right front leg to pat the girl's calf, looking at her with extremely expectant eyes.

"No~" the girl said with a smile, "I don't have much of this stuff on hand. Once I eat it, it will be gone."

Hearing this, the golden cat paused for a moment, then continued to slap the girl's calves relentlessly.

Purple cards are so scary... But it's understandable. An Jiyue took a glance and knew that these cat food cans did not have any special effects on the extraordinary level. In other words, they were rated as the highest level of purple by the War Scripture based on their own quality. You know, even Bu Xianxian is only a blue card.

Seeing that the girl dared to ignore him, the golden cat simply used his two front legs to slap the girl in dissatisfaction.

"No means no, you are just a pet, how dare you rebel?" An Jiyue stretched out a green finger and tapped the top of the golden cat's head vigorously: "If you make trouble again, there will be no cat food tomorrow!"

The golden cat then retracted its front legs in dismay... Wait, when did I become your pet? The golden cat suddenly reacted, raised its head and stared at the girl, with its facial features twisted into a ball.

"Anyway, I don't care where you come from, whether you are wild cats or domestic cats, or who your original owner is," An Jiyue said to herself, "From today on, you two are my cats! Just call yourself Jin Xiaohua." She pointed at the golden cat, and then pointed at the silver cat that had been quietly staying where it was after eating the cat food can: "Your name is Yin Xiaocao."

"Meow!" Jin Xiaohua cried out very dissatisfiedly.

"Objection is useless, it's settled!" An Jiyue waved her hand and said, "Xiao Fan, take them both to take a bath."

Nishikori Shigeru came over and picked up Jin Xiaohua, ignoring her struggle. When the deputy captain looked at Yin Xiaocao, the latter came over and stood beside the deputy captain, and even raised his head and meowed.

After the maid and the two pets that were delivered to her door left, An Jiyue turned her attention back to the chat group. She posted all the photos and videos that she had taken while interacting with the two cats using the chat group's camera function to the group.

[Administrator #XiaoYiYue: Good fellow, I was wondering if you would meet these two during your trip to Aurora. ]

[Barel Hammer: Come on, throw it into the well! ]

[Dustan Falcon: ←_←Is it Tzeentch who is behind this, or is it really the Dragon Emperor and the Moon Queen? ]

[Aven de Richelieu: Can I keep it in the nest for a few days? ]

[Atum: The next day, when the emperor was in court, Lord Ba stepped with his left foot first when he entered the palace, so he was ordered by the Dragon Emperor to be dragged out and beaten with two hundred sticks. In parentheses, it was two hundred sticks until they broke, not two hundred.]

[Morgan Ringo: They're all beaten to pieces! ]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: Be quiet, stop spamming. There is no doubt about the true identity of the two cats, they are definitely some kind of clones of the Dragon Emperor and the Moon Queen. Although my Dharma Eyes can't see any flaws at all, I still have spiritual power. Tsk, among all the beings I have encountered so far, only the Transfiguration Spirit has this ability. I suspect that this transformation technique is the work of the Moon Queen.]

[Administrator #Xiao Yiyue: In other words, the Heavenly Court is about to make a decision? ]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: Yes. The Second Saint probably wants to observe me with his own eyes before making a decision.]

[Administrator#Xiao Yiyue: Are you sure? ]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: If we are not sure, will we give up our plan? ]

[Administrator #Xiao Yiyue: That's true. Another thing is that the news about NATO has reached the Empire. According to the report from the Altdorf Hundred Households, Karl has sent an envoy to Xuanshui.]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: It's not surprising, it's just a matter of time. If the envoys from the Empire are here to ask why they are not accepted into NATO, you can just tell them the real reason, there's no need to hide such things.]

【Administrator#Xiao Yiyue: OK. 】

Author's words: Reply to the reader "Nai Niu Mao Yu":

The Phoenix King and the Emperor are both elected, but the High King is not. The High King is hereditary. The story actually goes like this:

This happened before the Battle of Longbeard, when the relationship between the High Elves and the Dwarves had not yet broken down. At that time, two Dwarf clans had serious conflicts, which led to a war. The High Elves had a large amount of trade with one of the Dwarf clans. Without receiving any requests for help from the other party, the High Elves decided to send troops to support their trading partner. As a result, when the High Elves arrived and intervened in the battle, the two Dwarf clans stopped fighting on the spot and joined forces to fight the High Elves...

Remember (pay attention)! Never run over to help a dwarf without him asking for help. Doing so will not only fail to gain his gratitude, but will offend him. If a dwarf does not ask for help, it means that he thinks he can handle it. If you run over to him, he will think you are looking down on him.

Chapter 377 Return of the Floating City

Xiao Yiyue spent the Lunar New Year of the year 2504 in the Imperial Calendar in Jingning.

On the day before New Year's Eve, the governor of Shuofang Army returned to his home in this world. To be honest, Xiao Yiyue didn't have any special feelings for this place, but there was no place she felt more at home. Compared with Xuanshui, where factories were getting bigger and bigger, chimneys were getting more and more, and PM2.5 was inevitably getting higher and higher, Jingning at least had fresh air.

The small city was decorated with lights and before nightfall, the crackling sound of firecrackers could be heard. Children ran in groups on the streets, their childish laughter and joy mixed with the crisp sound of firecrackers being thrown hard on the bluestone floor. Occasionally, when they saw a shop that was still open, the little ones would rush in, shouting all kinds of auspicious words while receiving their own cakes, candied fruits, or maltose from the smiling owner.

The aroma of hot oil and braised meat wafted through the streets and alleys, and as the heat rose, another basket of steamed buns and steamed cakes came out of the pot. The sounds of fried food being baptized in the oil pan, the sounds of chopping dumpling fillings, and the sounds of men shouting and pounding rice cakes intertwined with each other, along with the singing of the opera troupe hired by the neighborhood, all blurred in the curling smoke.

"This is what Chinese New Year is all about," said His Majesty Morgan Linge, the Lord of the Zhemu Royal Court, who came over specially for the New Year's Eve dinner, half leaning against the window sill, his icy blue eyes gazing at the lights of thousands of houses in the distance, "I don't know since when, the Chinese New Year in my 'hometown' has lost its flavor. Not only is there no fireworks, but everything seems like a routine, not like Chinese New Year."

Morgan was teleported here through the roots. The second generation of the Oak of Time was able to access the huge root network left by the first generation, absorbing the withered tissues and reshaping them, so the expansion speed of its root system was very amazing. Under Morgan's intentional control, the second generation has been working hard to restore the root system in the direction of the Dragon Islands and Sanhe Prefecture, and has now included Jingning in its coverage.

With the current progress, we will be able to connect to Xuanshui around the Lantern Festival.

"After all, even 'Twenty-six, stew pork' was first changed to stew big meat, and then this sentence was simply removed. How can you still expect to have the festive atmosphere?" Xiao Yiyue said without raising his head.

"You won't even give yourself a day off today? Last time you said the group leader pushed you too hard," Morgan turned around and looked at Xiao Yiyue, "By the way, what documents are you working on?"

Hearing this, the governor of the Shuofang Army finally looked up from his desk. "The six Eclipse-class frigates that we built for you will start construction after the Chinese New Year. The Tianhe Shipyard sent me an official letter asking whether we need to shorten the Spring Festival holiday and resume work on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year," Xiao Yiyue said. "I told them to stop doing these unnecessary things and just take a normal holiday."

"Uh..." Morgan was a little stuck when he heard this, "I'm not that anxious..."

"Do you think the shipyard said this out of consideration for the overall situation? It's just that a few shipyard leaders are eager to get promoted, so they squeeze the workers' rest time in exchange for their own future." Xiao Yiyue closed the document that he had reviewed and stamped with the seal, and then reached out to take another one. "Then this one, let me see... Did the Xuanshui Tongtian Tower observe a strange signal?"

"What do you mean?" Morgan was a little confused: "The Magic Storm (Note 1) is coming?"

"It's not a magic storm," Xiao Yiyue frowned and said, "They have observed a target emitting strong magic signals, gradually approaching the badlands from the west. The Shenzhou fleet has sent warships to check the situation, and there will be results within a week. The point is, the alchemist stationed at the Xuanshui Observatory reported that the celestial phenomena are unusual."

"Is there something strange in the sky?" Morgan asked quickly, "What's the difference?"

"can't read."

"Huh? What do you mean I can't understand? How could the people at the observatory not understand it? Isn't that their job for a living?" Morgan said in surprise.

"I mean, I don't understand what this report means," Xiao Yiyue handed the document to Morgan helplessly. "They did describe the astronomical phenomena they recently observed and their own analysis in the report, but the problem is that I don't understand it!"

Xiao Yiyue, the governor of Shuofang Army, Duke of Ningguo, the direct disciple of the current Heavenly Master of Beitianshi Mansion, a woman who is obviously a graduate of a professional school, but can do nothing except fighting.

"I'm so sorry..." After Morgan took the document, he realized that he couldn't understand this level of classical Chinese, and it was a highly professional classical Chinese in a specific field. After thinking for a while, the Evergreen King summoned his own war codex and translated the entire document into Van Elsalin.

Now she could finally understand.

"Oh my," Xiao Yiyue, who was watching the whole process, laughed, "So there is such a thing."

"The people at the observatory have interpreted the stars," Morgan said as he looked at them without responding. "This is a prophecy, or it can be understood as an omen. 'The wanderer who has been away from home for a thousand years is about to return, the horn of war has already sounded, the evil land will be soaked in the blood of the greedy, and only the victor can get the treasure' - that's about it."

After saying that, Xiao Yiyue and Morgan looked at each other, and the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The next moment, the two shouted in unison: "Fozrick's floating city!"

"We can take action in advance." Xiao Yiyue said in a deep voice: "In addition to the Junma-class ship that Xiao An took away, Sanhe Prefecture also has a Junma-class ship, which was rushed to completion by Tianhe Shipyard before it was split up. I plan to call back the warships sent to check the situation, let the Shenzhou Fleet organize an escort fleet, and then use the Junma-class to send the commandos to the floating city and capture it!"

"I think this can only be a backup plan," Morgan frowned. "I remember the dog pack leader said that she wanted to restore the magic that Fuzrek used to create this floating city. To do this, we must find the place where it was built. Only this floating city itself, which is about to run out of magic, can lead us to that place."

"But we are not the only ones looking for it. The omen said clearly, 'The horn of war has already sounded', and there are others looking for it," Xiao Yiyue said immediately, "It would be great if we could find the place where it was built, which would effectively reduce the difficulty of analyzing it. But even if there is no such place, we may not be unable to do this."

"Before we break Fuzrek's magic, Lao Xiao, we don't have the ability to charge it. How can a single sample that is running out of power compare to a usable floating city?" Morgan retorted.

"The problem is that the place we are looking for is in the badlands. What is the badlands? How many troops do we need to fill in with green monsters and other forces whose situations are unknown? Killing green monsters does not give points," Xiao Yiyue insisted on his point of view. "I don't mind taking appropriate risks when it is profitable, but the current timing is really not right. I remember that your army is clearing out the wild orcs in the rainforest? The Plateau Fort must keep an eye on the underground; the mobile forces of the Anxi Army are all here with me, and only the flying fleet can be dispatched; other group members also have their own troubles. Only Atum can fight, but he has only 30,000 troops, although the proportion of advanced troops is very high. We might as well act in advance and go home with the bottom line."

"It's no use for us to say this here," Morgan said, rubbing his brow, "why don't we go talk to the group?"

So the discussion venue became a chat group, and the people participating in the discussion became all the masters of the holy scriptures except Bing Ruolan: Xiuyan Qing always gets up at 11 o'clock every day and goes back to sleep at 13 o'clock, so he had already gone to bed by now.

The discussion ended just as it began. When he learned that there was a very important mission and that he was the only person who could perform it, Atum immediately patted his chest, where his ribs were clearly visible, and said that he would take the job.

[Atum: I want to let these evil land dogs learn the unique skills of my Bronze City! ]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: Take it easy... Even if we don't consider other competitors, the greenskins in the badlands alone are a big problem. Although your army has a quality advantage, their numbers are too large. They can grind you to death. ]

【Atum: OJBK. 】

Chapter 378 Exchange Conditions

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yuan Bo finally returned from Haotian City.

After the New Year, most people in the Bing family got up at three in the morning to clean up, even though this historic mansion was already clean enough. When the sky gradually brightened, the busy servants stopped their work and checked inside and out for the last time to make sure all the details had been handled properly and there was no impoliteness.

In the early morning, the main gate of the Bing family's ancestral home was opened. As the current head of the family, Bing Ruomei came back from the military camp and waited at the door to welcome the arrival of the Jade Court Master. The Bing family's aunt did not have to wait too long. Under the escort of a team of shining Tianting Dragon Guards and Dragon Crossbowmen, Yuan Bo and a male Xiuyanqing arrived at the gate of the Bing Mansion.

As the owner of this place, Bing Ruomei personally walked in front to lead the way for her boss, and led Yuan Bo to her own study. Before Bing Ruomei could push the door, the door creaked open. Yulong walked in without any hesitation. Xiuyanqing, who he brought with him and was also his blood descendant Jing Yibo, was very conscious and waited outside the study like a door god.

"Father and mother have agreed to all the conditions proposed by An Jiedu," Yuan Bo skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point. He knew that this seemingly rude approach would win the favor of the person in front of him. "After the seventh day, when the heads of various departments return to work, the officials will start to handle all the procedures required for the enthronement. An Jiedu and Xiao Jiedu only need to wait for the angel (Note 1) to come. As for the so-called 'NATO', the land of the West is thousands of miles away. I hope An Jiedu will put the interests of the world first and not take state affairs lightly."

In other words, the Second Saint still has some doubts about NATO. However, the old world is too far away from Zhendan. Even if the Heavenly Court wants to, it can't do anything, and it has no ability to restrain itself, so it can only advise me to take it easy and not go too far? An Jiyue analyzed the meaning of Yuan Bo's words and asked, "Are there no preconditions?"

"Mother, I have something to ask you," Yuan Bo raised his head slightly, "My brother Zhaoming has been guarding the western border for many years for the country, and his military exploits are great. However, the Weixi Desert is caused by an old incident. There are many evil jade stones in the yellow sand that harm our country and our people. Although my brother is a real dragon, he is not immune. An Jiedu once said that he was the garrison commander of Shangyang, so I think he should know the details. Therefore, mother asked me to ask An Jiedu, is there any way to cure my brother's illness?"

Yuan Bo did not say a word about Zhao Ming's mental problems, and at the same time, every word emphasized this point. If there was anything that the dragon sons could agree on, their views on Zhao Ming must be one of them.

Of course, the dragon sons generally don't publicly accuse this brother, mainly because the Queen of the Moon does not allow anyone to gossip about him. For this son who is becoming increasingly crazy due to the influence of the dimensional stone (and possibly the factor of the Big Stomach God), it would be nonsense to say that Guiyin really doesn't realize the problem with Zhaoming.

"I have a solution to the symptoms," An Jiyue replied calmly, "I also have a solution to the root cause."

Yulong thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded slightly to the governor: "Please give me some advice, Governor."

"The only way to cure the problem is for me to go to Shangyang in person and use mystical techniques to dispel the influence of those broken stones." The so-called mystical techniques are naturally psychic powers. Even if my stinky brother really goes crazy, An Jiyue can correct his mental state. "But this will only work temporarily. Over time, Zhaoming will return to his current state."

"The fundamental solution is to completely resolve the hidden dangers of the Gu Sea and kill the Big Stomach God worshipped by the Zhang Man," the Jiedushi said lightly, "This is not an easy task and requires the full cooperation of the Heavenly Court."
