Chapter 137: Official Business

  For these two months, Jack has been preparing to attack the Sunflower City. Although the overall strength of the evil army is still not as good as that of the 100,000-strong Leopard Army, the metal ore from Pyongyang has already been transported over, solving the problem of military equipment and food supplies for the evil army. With the addition of Sandor Clegane's six thousand fifth- and sixth-grade magic beasts and Ate Rayo's five hundred sixth-grade magic beasts, the strength of the evil army has increased again.

  Overall, it may be impossible to confront the 100,000-strong Leopard Legion head-on, but what if we launch a surprise attack?

  Because of Li Xie's oath in the name of the earth god, the Pan Sen family reduced their vigilance against Li Xie a lot and did not take the initiative to disturb Chrysanthemum City, giving Chrysanthemum City a comfortable development space.

  And the million-strong Cheetah Legion of Sunflower City would never have thought that Chrysanthemum City would suddenly launch a surprise attack.

  No matter how strong both sides are, Chrysanthemum City has always played a passive role in being beaten. Because the Leopard Army is nominally a regular army, the 100,000-strong evil army of Chrysanthemum City is just a private army. A private army attacking a regular army would be considered a rebellion, so the Pan family would at most only defend against Li Xie's high-ranking masters' attacks and wouldn't think that Chrysanthemum City would suddenly launch an all-out attack.

  Taking advantage of this point, as long as we act secretly, it's not impossible for the 100,000-strong Evil Army to devour the 100,000-strong Sunflower City Hunting Leopard Legion.

  Jack was eager to fight against Sunflower City because he saw a glimmer of hope for victory. As a general, he naturally yearned for battle, and as the highest commander of the evil army, his protected city had been besieged and his lord had been ambushed and nearly killed. Jack had a burning fire in his heart, a flame that burned more fiercely than Li Xie's anger towards the Pan family. This fire could only be extinguished by the blood of the Pan family and the Hunting Leopard Army.

  "The attack on Sunflower City is not possible for the time being." Li Xie was not afraid of losing to the Hunting Leopard Army. After his promotion to Green-eyed Vampire, he obtained two skills that made his unique physique a capital in the army's battle! Therefore, he had already regarded the 100,000-strong Hunting Leopard Army in Sunflower City as a turtle in a jar! However, attacking Sunflower City still required careful preparation. He said: "We not only need to take down the 100,000-strong Hunting Leopard Army in Sunflower City but also the 100,000-strong Hunting Leopard Army in Peony City. Moreover, the Pan family and the Right Prime Minister's family, I will not spare them. Once we launch an attack on this side, we need Duke Laine to cooperate and take down the Hunting Leopard Army in Peony City at the same time. At the same time, in the Imperial Capital, Your Majesty must also take down those two families completely. The Right Prime Minister and the Pan family have harmed me multiple times; how can I let them off?"

  A cold glint flashed in Jack's eyes as he said in a low voice, "What should be done? Please instruct, sir."

  Li Xie coldly smiled and said: "Soon I'll have Fan Di send a message to the Imperial Capital, personally hand it over to Your Majesty, and explain this matter in detail. Then we'll wait for arrangements from Your Majesty's side. Once news comes from Your Majesty's side, that will be the time when our Evil Army can proudly lift its head!"

  "Good!" Jack clapped his hands and said: "The lower official will keep this matter strictly confidential. Moreover, the lower official will send someone to monitor every move of Sunflower City, including their scouts. We must ensure that when our 100,000-strong army sets out, they won't know a thing."

  "You're more familiar with this aspect, so arrange it properly. Another thing... " Li Xie smiled and said: "What's going on with those civilians in the city? They kneel when they see me."

  Jack said: "This is all thanks to the adults' school and the cultural course materials written by those literati!"

  Li Xie has been in charge of Chrysanthemum City for nearly a year, the bronze statue has been erected for nearly half a year, and school classes have started for nearly four months.

  The common people in Chrysanthemum City thought about the good life brought to them by Li Xie and faced his bronze statue every day, forming a kind of reverence and worship for Li Xie.

  Nowadays, schools are open and offer free education. The children of ordinary people in the city can basically go to school to learn. One of the cultural courses teaches about the miracles of Meng Da Shi and the great deeds of Li Xie. Children who have not read books before have simple minds and are easily brainwashed. When they return home, they tell their parents about Li Xie's stories, and since their parents already have a sense of reverence and worship for Li Xie, the children resonate with their parents. In this atmosphere, and through such subtle influence, the fervor for Li Xie is constantly rising.

  Nowadays, who dares to say a word against Li Ye on the street, as long as it's heard by people from Chrysanthemum City, they will definitely be beaten up! Who dares to say that our city lord is not? Are you looking for death?!

  Li Xie listened to what Jack said and his face directly smiled into a chrysanthemum.

  At first, I wanted to open a cultural class, and it was for this effect. I didn't expect that the time to achieve this effect would be so much shorter than I imagined.

  This is the best! Maybe in another year, Chrysanthemum City will completely belong to Li Xie, unshakeable by wind or thunder, whether it's territory or people!

  After finishing official business, I dealt with trivial matters until late afternoon.

  Li Xie's return, the dinner was not grand, just set up a wooden frame in the garden, and had a bonfire party. The nobles of the Gods' Continent also knew that Li Xie didn't like to hold banquets in the banquet hall, but liked to have barbecues instead.

  However, this was just what the mercenaries wanted.

  "Third brother!"

  Brad Pitt and Yat Yiu led the way to the garden in Cannes, where he hugged Li Xiang. Yat Yiu laughed: "I heard that Hai Huang invited you to Hai Huang Palace, what a great honor!"

  What's so honorable about going?

  Li Ye smiled wryly, but after all, he had taken Hai Huang's treasure, and Hai Huang was a decent person, so he smiled: "It's okay, big brother sent me 500 sixth-grade magic beasts, this is even better."

  Brad Pitt laughed: "It's not a gift, it's a sale, and your 9th-level summoner took the money."

  "What's going on? Settling accounts with your own brother! Second Brother, didn't you also take a share?"

  "Huh? Hahaha..."

  Three people meet with great joy. On the other side, Vandy Zell leads the people of the Divine Might Mercenary Corps over. Li Xie is about to introduce them when Auster walks up front, stretches out his hand and laughs loudly: "Boltrend Art, Double-Edged Blade Brad! I'm God's Might Auster. This is Lala, Kidd, and Jin'牙."

  Li Xie smiled: "What? You know each other?"

  "Ost Road: 'The Thunderbolt Mercenaries, ninth among the top ten; the Twin Blades Mercenaries, tenth among the top ten! Although I haven't seen them in person, both names are well-known to me!'"

  "Haha……good to say!" Arte Yatte shook hands with Ost and said: "The prestige of God's Majesty Ost is also well-known to me, especially since even the little princess of the God's Majesty Dynasty has joined, the prospects for development are very promising."

  "Huh!" Li Xie opened his eyes and stared at LaLa: "You're still a little princess?"

  She raised her hands and put them on her hips, raising her head: "What? Not like it?"

  "Exactly!" Li Xie nodded: "Like that shrew from the 13th alley on the street next to our city lord's mansion."

  "Ah! You dare scold me as a shrew! Good for you, young man! Watch me..."

  Lala hadn't finished speaking when Brad Pitt suddenly appeared between her and Li Xie, his right eyebrow raised, his hand on his abdomen, and his waist bent: "Beautiful miss, I am the leader of the Double Blade Mercenary Group, delighted to..."

  "Get out of here!" LaLa slapped a palm on Brad Pitt's forehead, causing him to stumble several steps, then chased after Li Xie with her staff.

  Xiao An hastily moved in front of Li Xie: "Don't hit my brother!"

  "Get out! Your husband scolded me as a shrew, today I must beat him to death!"

  My husband...

  Xiao An's face turned red again, her heart racing, and she looked down in embarrassment.

  "Hey! Xiao An, don't just stand there! Ah......" Li Xie saw that LaLa's staff had already struck down and hastily ran away.

  On the other side, Brad Pitt stared at Lara with tears in his eyes as she chased Li Xie. Lara's slap was so severe that it not only hit Brad Pitt's head but also shattered his little heart.

  Oster patted his shoulder: "Brother, I understand. Ah, when I confessed to her at first, she kicked me in the crotch and it hurt for over a month. You're lucky."

  Wow!

  Brad Pittton felt a chill run down his spine! He muttered: Fortunately, it was just a headshot!

  After a small commotion, Li Xie was still pulled and knocked on the head by LaLa, which finally calmed down LaLa's anger. Then everyone gathered together, drinking, roasting, and having a great time.

  "Come on, let's have a drink!" Li Xie raised his cup: "Tonight, we won't leave until we're drunk!"

  "We won't leave until we're drunk!"

  "Haha, let's have a good drink tonight, sleep in late tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we should also be on our way." Yate Liao said.

  "So soon? Is there something urgent?" Li Xie asked.

  "There's no rush, but I've disturbed you for so many days, it's time for me to go back."

  "Wait, wait, don't all of you leave yet, at least wait until I arrange a big show for you before leaving."

  "What program?"

  "Hehe, it's a secret! Anyway, let's just play for a few more days. Shen Wei can stay too, and we can all have fun together. You're all mercenaries, so it's a good chance to socialize."

  "Alright!"

  Tudor dynasty imperial capital, palace secret chamber.

  Mercedes VII, Left Minister Harry Inter and Grand Duke Kevin Lain are seated.

  Duke Lei said: "Your Majesty, the Great Day Dynasty is making a move, and I really shouldn't leave. What's so urgent that you had to have me come secretly in the middle of the night?"

  Mercedes VII handed a letter to Duke Rhein, who furrowed his brow and read it carefully. The more he read, the more shocked he became: "Is he ready? How is this possible? He's only been in power for less than a year! His demonic army has only just begun training! Are they fully equipped? Is their food supply sufficient? No way! If this operation goes ahead, it will set off a chain reaction! We can't let him be so reckless!"

  Mercedes VII smiled at Duke Rhein and said with an admiring tone: "Do you know what kind of power Jack Rothschild has now?"

  "I don't know." Duke Rhein and Li Xie were separated by a vast distance, one in the south and the other in the north, and Duke Rhein was almost completely unaware of what was happening.

  "Just like you! 9th Tier Summoner!"

  Duke Rhein was taken aback, then his eyes widened: "Li Xie sent him a ninth-tier demon beast?"

  Mercedes VII nodded, and Duke Rhein let out a sigh: "Unexpectedly, that kid Jack has such good fortune. Where did Li Xie get this ninth-tier demon beast?"

  "This king is no longer clear! However, the ability of Evil Duke far exceeded your and my imagination! Do you know what the current strength of his Chrysanthemum City is?"
