The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

Afterwards, Lin Ye and Lilupal also came out and called out the fifty burly men who were lying in ambush, asking them to go in and clean up the bloodstains.

"That's quite decisive." Lilupal looked at the disappearing figure and gave a rare compliment.

Olmaz stabbed Sniff directly, and Lilupal never thought that this little mouse had such a big plan.

"He had no choice. Since he had turned from darkness to light, his other colleagues who were not so smart seemed redundant."

Lin Ye's voice was unusually indifferent. To him, becoming king was as easy as a feather. But since he had this determination, Lin Ye had become more calculating and cold towards people other than his friends.

To show his loyalty, Sniffle hacked his colleague to death with his own hands, thus completely clearing himself of the charges.

The colleague died with his eyes wide open, unable to imagine that the "desert timely rain" would attack his companion.

To be on the safe side, Lilupal cast a spell to suppress the spirits, so that Sniffle could never betray, otherwise he would be punished by having his bones scraped and his heart pierced.

Sniffle will return to the capital to act as Lin Ye's spy, make friends with other forces, and secretly spread the words of the Red King's deputies to reshuffle the desert kings.

Since the king's power is granted by God, there is no need to develop a group of believers in advance.

Lin Ye promised Sniffer that after the mission was accomplished, he would be given an official title and honored as a noble. It was just a big promise, just like a boss's basic behavior.

But Sniffle believed it, because according to legend, Lilupal was the great town spirit and the town spirit only called the gods their master. How could Olmaz, a mere mortal, have the virtue and ability to do so? It must be the real Red King who acted on his behalf.

The path to the rise of the Huvastra Dynasty was blocked, and Shushu really wanted to make progress.

The supplies brought by a tax-collecting envoy fed the Mushanla tribe. According to statistics, there were a total of 180 slaves, 201 antelopes, 13 pack animals, a large amount of food, and several rare gems.

Oh, the weapons and equipment of the special envoy’s guards were also confiscated.

Lin Ye got a map from Sniff and learned that the other party's next stop was the Qisoni tribe five kilometers away.

And this became Lin Ye's goal.

"I hope he can return to the capital alive."

Finally, Lin Ye added a sentence.

The weather in the desert was as unpredictable as Lilupal's mood. The tax-collecting mission was late because it encountered a sandstorm and lost its way.

A month later, Lin Ye launched a surprise attack on the Qisoni tribe. He had investigated the military strength of the enemy camp beforehand and found that it was roughly five times that of the Mushanla tribe.

The past was the past, and the present is the present.

The original plan was to use a blitzkrieg of assassinations, but after raising troops for a thousand days and making a profit in the night, he used the Liyue formation taught by Lin Ye to carry out a dimensionality reduction attack.

In the Battle of the Layered Rock Chasm, Lin Ye fought against monsters together with tens of thousands of Thousand Rocks Army. He was fortunate enough to witness the final glory of the Thousand Rocks Army five hundred years ago.

Thousands of rocks are solid and heavy peaks are immovable. Once the army formation with everyone shouting in unison is formed, it will be powerful and mighty, achieving the effect of 1+1>2. As long as the soldiers are strong enough, they can even fight against the devil.

In the main hall of the Qisoni tribe, Lin Ye pulled out the knife from the opponent's leader's chest and shook off the blood on the knife. Outside, there was a noisy and clamorous cry of killing. Lin Ye estimated in his mind and dozed off while sitting on the stone seat. After a while, the guards in armor came forward and half-knelt to report the situation.

One person was killed, three were seriously injured, and five were slightly injured.

Lin Ye inquired about the family situation of the injured and distributed compensation one by one.

This is unique. The soldiers sent out by the desert tribes are all slaves and private property, so there is no compensation.

One hundred people against two hundred and fifty, with a total of nine casualties. Considering that they had only been trained for a short time, the result was acceptable.

Lin Ye knew very well that to build an invincible army, one or two months was not enough. It required years of rigorous and hard training, and frequent actual combat.

take it easy.

Lin Ye glanced at the enemy leader's unwilling eyes. Lilupal said that the Qinis tribe was a group of ungrateful people who could never be satisfied, and Olmaz gave his "first time" to him.

In that case, instead of forming an alliance, why not just annex it?

War is a means. Except for some people who enjoy it, rulers decide to play this game, sometimes to divert domestic conflicts and sometimes to plunder more resources.

There is an iron mine within the territory of the Qinis tribe. After Lin Ye heard about it from Lilupal, he was very excited. This made Lady Dazhenling very angry. Is my charm not as good as a lump of iron?

So angry!

In the next three years, Lin Ye focused most of his energy on expanding his territory. He bit off more than he could chew, and every time he conquered a tribe, he would select talented people and spread the faith of the Red King. He wanted to get not only your body, but also your heart and your mind, striving for a sense of identity.

What is a sense of identity? It is probably a sense of national identity.

The reason why a civilization has a long history is inseparable from the sense of identity. Otherwise, it would be scattered like the Huvathra Dynasty, with each dynasty acting independently.

Most of the desert people are believers of the Red King. Lin Ye is His agent, temporarily governing the human world. It is natural for Lilupal to become the Pope's mother.

After development, the Mushalla tribe has become a local regime that cannot be ignored.

But Lin Ye had people in the central government, and Snifer used the huge wealth provided by Lin Ye to bribe senior officials and drive out those who were hostile to the Mushanla tribe.

Lin Ye pretended to be loyal to King Huvastra, saying that he was just making small moves in the local area and that he was still the big brother.

Huvastla, addicted to pleasure, has lost his former ambition and sharpness. He just treats it as a dog-eat-dog situation. There are four separatist forces in the dynasty that cannot be underestimated. Huvastla believes that Ormaz can replace at most one of them and will not threaten his rule.

After stabilizing the center, Lin Ye turned his attention to the neighboring enemy, the Popochi tribe.

The rise of the Mushanla tribe seriously affected the Popochi tribe. They had originally divided the territory with King Huvastra and wanted to be a local emperor, but they did not expect a new force to emerge and encroach on their territory. How could they tolerate this?

Finally, the leader of the Popochi tribe challenged Lin Ye to a war to determine who would rule the land.

The Mushalla tribe had a regular army of 100,000 men, while the Popochi tribe boasted an army of 400,000.

Four hundred thousand versus one hundred thousand, the advantage is on me!

After Lin Ye learned the news, he did not panic but remained calm and continued to do what he was supposed to do.

There are two reasons for this. First, the 100,000 men of Linye did not bring any women with them. Each of them was equipped with weapons and armor and was a group of elite soldiers and generals. However, the 400,000 men of the Popochi tribe were a mixture of women, the elderly and children.

Secondly, one of the criteria for judging whether an army is strong is how many casualties it will take to cause collapse. With strict military discipline and the blessing of faith, Mushanla's army would only collapse when the casualty rate reached 50%, while the vast majority of desert tribal armies would disperse when the casualty rate reached 30%, and some even had a casualty rate of 2%.

However, it is clear that the strength of the Popochi tribe far exceeds ours, so Lin Ye still treats it with caution.

After three years of major and minor battles, Lin Ye's momentum was unstoppable. He often rushed to the front and attacked the enemy directly, and his reputation was at its peak.

The more this happens, the faster Lin Ye will complete the system tasks and the more abilities he will unlock.

Now, Lin Ye’s Weapon Master, Eye of God and Cloud Thunder Court have been restored. Although the three powers of Demon God, Wishes and Abyss are still restricted, there is no mortal who can be Lin Ye’s opponent.

The territory of the Huvastra dynasty only occupied a corner of the western desert. Lin Ye and Lilupal had formulated a macro strategy early on and moved towards Mount Mada, where Lilupal's sister built the Eternal Oasis.

The Popochi tribe can be said to be the first powerful enemy on Lin Ye’s road to becoming the king. Previously, they relied on extremely advanced policies and guiding ideas to crush the enemies smoothly. This time, the opponent’s hard power made up for the shortcomings.

Then let’s have a fight!

Since we are competing for the Central Plains, we must have the courage to burn our boats.

Front line, tent.

Lin Ye stood in front of the sand table map and analyzed how to fight the battle with the generals he promoted until late at night. The discussion was heated and everyone expressed their opinions.

It is winter now, and heavy snow has fallen in the desert. The vast sea is covered with hundreds of feet of ice, and gloomy clouds are condensed for thousands of miles.

Fortunately, Lin Ye paid close attention to logistics, so ordinary tribesmen had no problem surviving the winter, unlike in the past when every snowfall would cause a disaster and freeze countless people to death.

Someone opened the tent and a cold wind blew. Everyone looked over and saw a woman draped in a snow-white fur coat. Her pale braided hair matched the coat very well, making her look like a fairy in the snow. However, her burgundy eyes made people feel that she was a witch who liked to collect human skulls.

Lilupal gave Lin Ye a warm black cloak. She didn't care about people's eyes and tied it on Lin Ye as if no one was around. Lin Ye resisted, but failed and accepted it resignedly.

The generals smiled meaningfully.

Chief, I understand.

"Mmmm!"

My aunt's expression quickly changed from smiling to looking very serious and solemn.

Lilupal did not speak to Lin Ye and did not disturb him. She stepped back on her own and huddled in Lin Ye's seat, wrapped in a fur coat. With a smile in her eyes, she looked at her lover in silence, appearing well-behaved and cute.

He said he was in love, but in fact he was in unrequited love.

Lilupal was half angry and half happy about the result. She had spent three years but still failed to conquer Lin Ye.

What makes me angry is that Lin Ye doesn’t appreciate my kindness, but what makes me happy is that Lin Ye is loyal.

"Pure love." Lilupal whispered so that only he could hear it.

Three years was neither long nor short. Lin Ye accomplished in three years what Ormaz had done in five years, and he rarely needed Lilupal's help.

Creating an oasis is the trump card. It can be used in the early stage to develop and expand power. When it comes to the critical period, Lin Ye does not want to confront the central government. No matter how stupid Huvastra is, he should know how terrifying it is for a tribe to master the means of creating an oasis.

Coupled with the system's words "Don't blame the road for your failure", Lin Ye basically wouldn't let Lilupal's prophecy spoil the plot and devoted himself wholeheartedly to this game of dominance.

Of course, if Lin Ye wants Lilupal to be his advisor, he will have to sacrifice his looks, so forget it.

In this way, Lilupal's duty is to be a leader, manage culture and art, and pass the time.

Even with the help of Lilupal, it was still impossible to help the poor man. Olmaz did have some ability.

According to Lilupal's assumption, Lin Ye's level is comparable to Ormaz's, or even lower than his.

However, Lilupal was frustrated to find that there was little she could do to help Lin Ye. Even without her, if Lin Ye was given an opportunity and spent more time and effort, he could also become king.

Although Lilupal had shown undisguised love for Lin Ye over the past three years, she had to examine him thoroughly and she had to admit that both he, as a leader and as a person, was impeccable.

Does Lilupal doubt that Lin Ye is a human? How come he has no desires?

why?

In fact, Lin Ye answered Lilupal.

It’s not that he doesn’t have worldly desires, but the “delicacies” placed before Lin Ye are tasteless, and nothing that arouses his interest has yet appeared.

If it were Lin Ye who was trying to survive in Ao Zang Mountain, he would most likely not be able to resist all kinds of temptations, and his vision would be very small.

Not only kings walk the earth, but also gods.

Lin Ye is an Adventer, a person chosen by one of the Four Rulings. His fate seat is the still mysterious "Seat of Keys", and the enemy he will eventually face is beyond the world's imagination.

If one is content to be the king of the dust, he is at best at the level of a flea. The natural breathing and careful touch of those great figures surviving in the boundless sea of stars can crush the "king" to death.

From the current perspective, Lin Ye perfectly meets Lilupal's ideal, so Lilupal is very, very obsessed with Lin Ye.

But Lin Ye rejected Lilupal's courtship thousands of times.

Ah this.

No one cares about things that are easily obtained. The more you cannot get, the more anxious and worried you become.

Lilupal thought that if Lin Ye fell, she would take revenge, but since she couldn't even enjoy the sweet love, revenge would be meaningless.

Most importantly, Lilupal can only be excommunicated for one generation...

Three days later, Lin Ye personally led a thousand elite soldiers and rushed thousands of miles to attack the food and grass camp of the Popochi tribe. The journey was long and extremely dangerous. According to the intelligence from the spies, in order to intercept them accurately, they had to take a straight line, cross a high mountain and a natural chasm, and with heavy snow, it was almost impossible to do so.

A month later, the Mushanla tribe and the Popochi tribe fought on the front battlefield. The two armies fought until blood was shed and corpses were everywhere.

At this time, the rear of Popochi's army encountered a surprise attack. A team descended from the sky like a god. There were only a few hundred people, but they dared to challenge the army of hundreds of thousands as if they were in an empty space.

The Mushanla tribe and this team attacked from both sides, killing all the Popochi tribe members and rendering them helpless.

Cut off from food supplies and without a rear support, the Popochi tribe launched three counterattacks, but all failed.

In the end, the leader of the Popochi tribe was defeated and committed suicide.

The Mushanla tribe defeated the Popochi tribe's army of 400,000 with only 100,000 troops, and became famous in one battle.

The position of one of the four major separatist forces of the Huvaastlan Dynasty changed hands, and Ormaz became the new vassal king.

In February of next year, the redundant Mushanla tribe will be completely absorbed and will be eyeing the central east.

In March, because Huvastra's favorite son killed the eldest son of a vassal king in anger, the vassal king joined forces with another vassal king to rise up and demand an explanation.

As a result, the rule of the Huvaastrian dynasty collapsed and entered an era of war.

Extra: Cat's Happiness

What is Cat Tongue?

Refers to some people who are afraid of high temperature food...

And cats.

Rather than hot food, Lady Tamako prefers ice cream to cool her down.

When Yoko was in Liyue Harbor, during the hot summer, she spent some Mora to buy an ice cream from a vendor, the kind that could be split in half, and Yoko and Lady Tamako each had half.

Lady Tamako would stick out her pink little tongue and lick it, enjoying the delicious taste. Her tongue felt sweet and cool.

The cat is happy.
