Then let them offer their loyalty!

After saying that, Qiu Tu ignored Princess Xi's reaction and left the dream.

As Qiu Tu slowly disappeared before her eyes, the unpleasant expression on Princess Xi's face gradually faded, replaced by a blank expression...

She sat there, dignified and composed, in the vast, empty palace hall for a long time...

......

Silent all night.

The next morning, I was woken up by Tang Feifei.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu wake up, she narrowed her clear yellow eyes slightly and said provocatively, "I dreamt about you last night."

Qiu Tu said with a smile, "I dreamed about you last night too."

Tang Feifei smiled even more happily, "Then consider it a pre-battle pep talk for me."

Qiu Tu asked curiously, "Are there already results?"

Tang Feifei gave a curt "hmm," her wheat-colored face filled with ambition. "This morning, my grandfather called me and officially issued the order."

"You will be stationed in Xinzhou, nominally serving as the commander-in-chief, to direct this cleanup operation."

"As the head of the military, I led the military in New South Wales, dividing our forces into two groups to enter the disaster zone and begin clearing out the leaderless disaster area."

"My grandfather's goal was to conquer another 32 cities and two states."

Chapter 521 Zhao Ji: I'm going to kill Qiu Tu (Last day of double monthly votes, please vote!)

Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu pushed hard twice. Then he couldn't help but ask, "Does the sanctuary have such strong war potential?"

War is not child's play; it's not something you can just do by sending hundreds of thousands of troops to invade.

Supplies and logistics must be guaranteed. The training of officials and the maintenance of economic order must also keep pace.

Otherwise, even if we win the battle, we won't be able to maintain it.

Thinking this, Tang Feifei stroked her firm breasts and said breathlessly,

“My grandfather said that the shelter will mobilize all kinds of resources to ensure the success of this operation.”

"This should be the last war for the shelter for the next five to eight years."

"Taking over three states and dozens of cities in a row is enough to sustain the shelters for many years."

"Once we exhaust the gains of this war, the war potential and economic potential of the entire 8th Sanctuary will be greatly enhanced."

"Therefore, this is a foundational battle."

At this point, Tang Feifei paused for a moment, and then said, "Actually... in order to avoid problems with this operation, my grandfather also secretly set up a dedicated communication line."

"Huang Shangzong will oversee the entire war and remind me at crucial moments."

"And if he encounters a complex situation that he can't handle, he will transfer this hotline to Old Rao, who will personally take command."

Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu was speechless for a moment.

Who is Huang Shangzong? He is the most capable military genius in the Eighth Sanctuary in the past decade.

They made great contributions to the shelter.

With his "high-level" political acumen and his "universally recognized" ability to judge character, he was able to rise to this position, truly because he is capable.

And...who is Old Rao? He is the leader of the "Iron-Blooded Faction," the number one warlord in the Northwest region in the old era, the founder of the 8th Sanctuary, and the Supreme Speaker.

In the eyes of everyone in the 8th shelter, he was a god of war.

And so, these two generations of "military geniuses," one old and one young, chose not to personally command this important battle, but instead to remotely supervise and assist Tang Feifei...

Even if you tethered a dog there, it would still win, okay?

They practically fed all the credit to Tang Feifei, as if they were afraid she wouldn't be able to digest it properly.

After this battle is over, Tang Feifei's achievements will be unprecedented and she will become a political star in the shelter.

Let alone being promoted to speaker and member of the Supreme Council, Qiu Tu even suspected that Tang Lao and the others planned to directly appoint Tang Feifei as the "Governor of the Two States"!

And then he thinks about how hard he worked, how he risked his life, how he negotiated with a tiger, and how he fought to the death to get where he is today.

Qiu Tu felt resentful: Sure enough... the biggest dividing line between people is amniotic fluid!

In my next life, I'll definitely be reborn into a better family! It will save me a thousand times the effort!

Afterwards, the two snuggled together. Tang Feifei gently traced her fingers on Qiu Tu's arm, but what came to mind was the conversation her grandfather had with her that morning.

According to Mr. Tang, he and Mr. Rao actually had disagreements on the matter of starting a war.

He was even one of those who opposed continuing the war.

He opposed war for two reasons.

Firstly, he felt that the current economy of the shelter was only "average," and after digesting Dongye Prefecture, digesting another new prefecture would be the limit.

The annexation of two more states could potentially impact the economic operations of the shelter itself and other states.

Secondly... he felt that Qiu Tu's power was expanding too quickly.

Qiu Tu went from an unknown nobody to a rising star and then to a powerful regional official in just one year.

And that wasn't all. Qiu Tu's strength had also improved incredibly rapidly. He was now the man standing at the top of the 8th Sanctuary.

This gave Qiu Tu a wide influence and many loyal followers in New South Wales and East Asia.

In this situation, if support continues to be given to the two states, allowing them to continue expanding, then...

He really couldn't imagine what a terrifying monster he would end up raising.

He controls four states, has the backing of an evil god, is at the peak of the fifth rank, and has a strong and powerful army.

With such power, the shelter had no way to restrain Qiu Tu.

Once Qiu Tu has absorbed these four prefectures, he can completely obey orders and not proclamations, thus forming his own independent system.

In fact, if Qiu Tu were to go to extremes, a single call to arms could summon a multitude of followers, and the possibility of dividing the land and establishing a new territory would be within reach.

It was precisely because of this concern that Tang Lao was not really in favor of taking two more states.

As a result, Mr. Rao refuted and persuaded him with two rhetorical questions.

The first question is: Without Qiu Tu, would it have been impossible to win New South Wales and the other two states?

The second question is: Is it necessary to prevent Qiu Tu from becoming too powerful to control?

Putting aside the question of whether Qiu Tu, under the checks and balances of the shelter, will become too powerful to control, let's consider the implications.

Even if Qiu Tu really becomes too powerful to control... will it have any impact on the relationship between the shelter and Qiu Tu?

At the time, Mr. Rao asked himself the question and answered his own question, giving his answer: No.

Because... Qiu Tu's current status in the shelter is not due to his confidants or the territory he controls.

Rather, it was his own fifth-tier strength and his ability to deceive the evil god.

With Qiu Tu's strength and the power to influence evil gods, he could completely oppose the Sanctuary and outwardly comply while secretly defying it.

Therefore, Tang Lao's worries were unnecessary.

If Qiu Tu wanted to rebel, he would have done so long ago. And if he didn't want to rebel, he wouldn't rebel no matter what you offered him.

Therefore, instead of being wary of Qiu Tu, it's better to not use those you doubt, and to trust those you use.

To be honest, I already had some understanding of Qiu Tu's status in the eyes of the shelter's leaders.

However... Tang Feifei was still startled when she heard from her grandfather that the two leaders valued Qiu Tu so much.

This inexplicably added a sense of urgency and worry to her heart.

How long has it been since the man who needed my protection and who stood up to me against several section chiefs and directors has grown into a towering tree in such a short time!

'I can't let myself be left behind...'

'This expansion into the two states must be completed successfully!'

......

After resting for a while, the two began to carry out their plan.

Tang Feifei made phone calls to various cities to assemble troops. Qiu Tu, on the other hand, summoned Li Tingdong, Liu Xiongyuan, and Dai Yukang to coordinate supplies and ensure logistical support for Tang Feifei.

Speed ​​is of the essence in war.

Fortunately, all cities in New South Wales are under martial law, making it incredibly easy to mobilize troops.

In the afternoon, Tang Feifei led three divisions from three nearby cities to the disaster zone.

After coordinating the logistics for Tang Feifei, Qiu Tu left the state legislature early, seeing that he had nothing more to do.

Similar to Tang Feifei, Qiu Tu also has a very full schedule ahead.

In fact, in his plan, sending troops to the disaster zone was only the second most important thing.

In his heart, there was another, more important thing: to slay the Yaksha!

Just as Rao Lao analyzed for Tang Lao, in a world where great power belongs to oneself, high-end combat power often has the ability to directly influence and occupy.

If "Yaksha" is not eliminated, even if Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei conquer the disaster zone, the evil god's side can take back these cities in no time.

Moreover, Yaksha's main purpose in coming here this time was to obtain the "Earth Vein Flower," which was in Qiu Tu's possession and used by him in the "Eastern City Area."

In this situation, the conflict between the two is almost irreconcilable.

Only by eliminating "Yaksha" can Qiu Tu rest easy for a short period of time and seize valuable development opportunities.

More importantly... Qiu Tu's next most important target is Princess Xi.

After their encounter in the dream last night, Qiu Tu believed that he had planted a seed in Princess Xi's heart.

In this situation, Qiu Tu needs to "water" and "fertilize" the seed so that it can grow quickly.

And what could be more shocking to Princess Xi than "flexing her muscles"?

No more.

If Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji join forces in this operation, they can kill or repel the level 6 Great Evil God Yaksha.

Qiu Tu truly proved his abilities to Princess Xi.

A combat strength of Rank 6 is enough to change the course of the battle in the 6th, 7th, and 8th shelters.

Putting everything else aside, a surprise attack on the palace would certainly be enough to bring Prince Kang out.

This also cuts off Pang Haichen's escape route.

With the leaders of the "Hidden Mist Society" all dead, Pang Haichen's escape route was completely cut off.

Once Elder Rao and Elder Tang have weakened the influence of the "academic school," it will be time to make their move...

Therefore, Qiu Tu needs to talk to Zhao Ji today, and then prepare to attack Yasha...

.......

at the same time.

"Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart - Lü'an Region"

The Lü'an area is a vast expanse of water.

Zehime and Lariro sat by the river, soaking their feet and chatting.

Zhao Ji gazed at the tall reeds and said expressionlessly, "I plan to kill Qiu Tu."

At this moment, Larilu was still kicking her little, glistening feet in the water.

Larilu was clearly taken aback when she heard Zhao Ji's cryptic words.

She quickly turned her head to look at Zhao Ji, "Why?"

Zhao Ji said with a serious look, "Qiu Tu is dangerous. He is not what you think he is, a person who pursues both love and freedom."

"His path to catastrophe is not 'life-reproduction' at all."
