Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 222 Trends from all parties
That night, the Caspian Sea was sparkling and cloudless. Occasionally, a huge black fish leaped out, splashing water.

puff~
Three figures emerged on the water. Xiao Gui, who had escaped death, took a deep breath of fresh air, stepped on Canglan, who was held up by his feet, and swam towards the shore while pulling the two of them.

Bukong Sanzang, who had released [Lapis Lazuli Tranquil Courtyard] many times during the trip to the ruins, now had a pale face and his eyes were closed. It seemed that because of the great consumption, his body actively entered a state of self-protection after being out of danger.

Qin Huai, whose body was weakened by the [Water of Akron], was not in much better condition. Not only did he have to squeeze out the strength from his tired body to control Canglan, and lift up two Seraph armors that had stalled due to water flooding, he also had to guide Xiao Gui according to the Yama map. He was really at the last moment of exhaustion.

After a long swim, Xiao Gui finally dragged the two of them up to the beach. Looking at the deserted beach, Qin Huai raised his hand and released the [Hercules Rack], plugged in the can of Tianrui to provide energy, and sat down on it.

Electric arcs crackled, sparks flashed, and the heavy [Bi'an] on Qin Huai's body was gradually being dismantled.

The evaluation of this Yanfu incident has been improved.

But it’s not over yet, the inky black words suddenly became as dazzling as blood!

[You triggered an additional Yamafu event: Escape from Apocalypse]

【Content: Cherish life and stay away from death】

Judgment criteria: Stay alive before returning to Yama, and successfully avoid the pursuit of [Death]
Completing this Yamabu event will greatly increase your purchasing power, and will also include an additional special reward draw for completing the Yamabu event.

Note: As a cyborg life form created by a great being, [Death] has never failed.

Bright red words danced in his field of vision. Qin Huai casually slapped out a nectar talisman to heal his wounds, and ate some medicinal food taken out of the [Zen Hui Bowl] with a tasteless taste.

Suddenly, Qin Huai heard a rustling sound, similar to the sound of breaking through the air, but it seemed heavy and heart-shaking. Just hearing it gave him an indescribable feeling of vastness.

A sweet female voice sounded.

"Big guy, the content of this Yamabu incident is seriously beyond your ability. Originally, you could choose to give up this Yamabu incident and get a month of free action time. But since you have been implicated in the large-scale Yamabu incident and cannot return to Yamabu, I will use some other means to help you complete this mission as much as possible."

It’s Hou Tu.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Landlord. It's really a bother for you."

"It's not a big deal. After all, you're on the special talent list, so you deserve all the attention you receive."

In front of the computer screen, Hou Tu lazily supported the desktop with his arms and gently hit the enter key.

"Since the incident in this Yanfu was misplaced, [Hou Tu] will compensate for the walk."

"You will be given a special ninja as a temporary helper."

"The Yambu Fruit has been located, and the special ninja soil has been deployed!"

"Special Ninja Earth Assistance will be maintained until the Yamabu walks away from the ghost Ding Hai Ninety-four."

Qin Huai's heart skipped a beat, and a golden arc of lightning flashed uncontrollably between his eyebrows. Then, a soft, golden thing that looked like cotton candy emerged from the lightning vortex and rushed into his Niwan Palace.

"Big guy, you can think of it as an encyclopedia. The Special Ninja Land will borrow my authority to trace the information of the entire fruit. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask it."

The sweet female voice disappeared, and Hou Tu ended this conversation with Yanfu.

"Hou Tu, thank you very much this time."

In the Yamabu Mother's Crown, Zhan Yuejin drank a sip of water, took out a newly released Prototype 2 CD and handed it over.

"Master, although your actions this time are within the rules of the Yanzhao Association, since it involves the list of special talents, I will still back up the records and report them to you. Please forgive me."

"As you should, just keep busy, I won't bother you anymore."

Zhan Yuejin nodded, and in a flash, he left the mother's crown.

In the Niwan Palace, the ball of golden cotton candy flew into the air, looked at the two true forms of the inheritance who were slowly recovering from their injuries on Kunlun Mountain Island, and took the initiative to speak.

"Master Walker, if you consume the [Ruilongzhu] at this time, you may be able to remove the suppressing effect of [Akron Water] in a short period of time."

As soon as Marshmallow opened his mouth, Qin Huai realized that this ninja was definitely not simple.

"Isn't Ninjago invisible and intangible? You?"

"Eight million ninjas have no shape. Zero is only borrowing the authority of Lord Hou Tu temporarily, so that he can manifest some shapes in Lord Walking's Niwan Palace."

"Your name is Zero?"

Lu Wu blinked his divine eyes and glanced at the golden marshmallow who was nodding.

"If you want to call me by another code name, that's fine."

"No, size zero is fine."

Qin Huai smiled, took out the string of [Ruilongzhu] from the [Zenhui Bowl], and ate exactly four of them. The suppression effect in the status bar disappeared, and his Grain in Ear power also improved a bit.

"Yeah, it's really useful."

Qin Huai was a little surprised. He looked at Zero hovering over the vast ocean of Canglan, thought about it, and asked a question that needed to be solved urgently.

"Zero, I am being hunted by a cyborg with the strength of the Seven Palaces. What advice can you give me?"

"Based on the search for information on the Demon Dinghai Ninety-Four Fruit, Zero speculated that [Apocalypse Knight: Death] used some unknown reconnaissance method to locate the walking adult, and this reconnaissance method is likely to have nothing to do with the conventional five senses such as vision and taste."

"You mean, [Death] uses metaphysical means such as soul fluctuations and physical markings?"

Qin Huai's imagination was stimulated, and he quickly raised new questions.

"Ghost Dinghai Ninety-four is generally a science fiction fruit. Perhaps technological means such as spy satellites and Tianrui radars are more likely."

Listening to Zero's inference, Qin Huai scratched his head and felt that what it said did make sense.

"Tianrui radar? It seems that this is really possible."

After thinking about the alchemical matrices with different effects, Qin Huai decided to do an experiment.

After replacing the damaged parts of [Bi'an] into his personal space, Qin Huai stopped the [Tianrui] state that required a lot of physical energy to emulate.

Seeing the word "Tianrui" in the status bar gradually fade and turn into translucent gray, Qin Huai slowly stood up.

Thousands of meters away in the depths of the Caspian Sea, the figure of [Death] riding a bone horse hesitated for a few moments, and then continued to charge towards the last location Qin Huai sent back.

"Let's go. Although this mission was bumpy, it has been completed at least." Qin Huai, who had recovered most of his condition, was full of energy. After putting away the [Hercules Rack], he took the two of them to Damavand.

In the mine in the mountains, Ge Shujing sat in the empty tent, playing with the steam saw removed from the [Bronze Cutter].

"Third brother, fourth brother, it's almost eight hours. Why hasn't our eldest brother come out yet?"

"Maybe he was tripped up by the Xiyi who entered earlier, or maybe he is trying to find a way out. Anyway, we have big brother and Master Bukong here, so don't worry too much, second brother."

Fu Mengmaojie wiped the silver bullet and golden bow in his hand, speaking in a leisurely tone.

"Third brother is right. We can't get in anyway, so let's figure out how to wipe out the Western barbarians at Bailaomen."

Xue Wen was brandishing a halberd outside the tent, his words filled with murderous intent.

uh~
The scarlet martial eagle circled down, and Qin Huai, who was following behind, folded his cloud wings and carried the two of them down to the outside of the tent.

"Ajing, Maojie, mission accomplished, notify the brothers to retreat immediately!"

Qin Huai raised the [Alchemy Notebook] in his hand, signaling the three brothers to retreat immediately.

Without saying a word, the people in the tent grabbed their weapons and seized the spoils, then followed Qin Huai on their Kuilong horses for the return journey.

"Brother, what's down there?"

"Great terror, far beyond the reach of human power to resolve."

Qin Huai's face became serious, and he patted Geshu Jing on the shoulder: "This time you will lead most of the Heavenly Cavalry to cross Rasht and return to Chachi from the south. I will ride alone and take the northeast route for other important matters."

"Here!"
-
A few days later, the World Python.

The heavy iron window was opened by the man, and the sunlight shone in. Stimulated by the strong light, César squinted his eyes slightly and looked around carefully.

Am I not underwater?
Xizel recalled the feeling of suffocating in the sea, and a few faint rays of light flashed across his purple pupils.

"You completed this mission well and fully demonstrated your value."

The man in the black robe took off his hood, revealing his short gray hair, and his cold eyes were hidden behind his black crystal lenses.

"Where are we going? Where's brother Jose?"

Xizel recognized the unique roar of the [World Python] and his voice trembled for a moment, but he immediately regained his composure.

"Torres is still in a coma and needs to be resuscitated. If he hadn't overloaded the Seraphim this time, you would have all drowned in the sea. The [World Python] is on the railway back to Florence. The matter in the East is over."

The Pope's voice was calm, and his angular face was as cold and hard as an iceberg.

"It's over? You lost?"

César struggled to get up. His lungs and nervous system were in pain, probably due to the sequelae of the rapid ascent a few days ago.

"It was the Cardinal who requested a ceasefire. After the battle of Chachi, the Tang people changed their commander. The continuous flow of cavalry combined with the wonderful interpenetration tactics blocked the four semi-mechanized divisions in the Turan lowlands."

The Pope stroked the Seven Deadly Sins that the Red Dragon team had brought back at the cost of their lives, and changed the subject: "However, the Tang people's logistics are far inferior to ours with the Ring World Railway. The two sides are in a stalemate at the edge of Turan, unable to advance or retreat."

"But we encountered that oriental alien in the ruins of the old era. The Tang people's most elite army suddenly appeared at Bailaomen. This is a very dangerous signal."

Xizel thought of Qin Huai who appeared in the underground palace and added a sentence.

"It is precisely because of this that the Cardinals decided to send a letter to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to discuss a ceasefire. The Tang Dynasty is short of food and fodder. If they continue to fight, it will damage the domestic economy and even endanger the lives of tens of thousands of elite soldiers. The Tang Dynasty's commander must weigh the pros and cons."

There was no emotion in the Pope's words. He was just quickly exchanging information with César: "The Seraphim Knights lost three-quarters of their lives, and less than one-tenth of the Seraphim can still fight. The Crusader Guards suffered an average of 3% casualties. Our military strength has regressed by ten years. The Cardinals can no longer hold on, so they took the initiative to initiate a ceasefire agreement."

"It's hard to imagine that those old guys would actually bow their heads on their own initiative."

"As long as we can obtain the red mercury deposits and the ruins of the old era, the Cardinal will be able to give up far more than you want."

The Pope took out a secret letter and handed it to Cesare: "The situation is very bad. How the Orientals are asking for too much is none of our business for the time being, but the monarchs of various countries in Europe are also beginning to get restless."

"In the past, the military power of the Papal States made them fearful, so they had to rely on the Messiah. Now the Seraph Knights have suffered heavy losses, and the Crusader Guards also need to recuperate. So, the monarchs have begun to urge you to repay the war loan?"

César was extremely smart and hit the nail on the head immediately.

"Yes, although Florence is very wealthy, it is still difficult to support a world-class war. For this reason, the Cardinal borrowed huge war loans from Western countries. This loan should have been repaid with land in the East, but as you can see, the pressure of this loan eventually fell on the Papal States."

The Pope pointed at the secret letter and motioned for Cesare to open it.

"They want to get their hands on the red mercury mines and the highest-level mechanical technology? Will the cardinal agree to such conditions?"

Xizel frowned, then slowly relaxed his brows and then frowned again.

"The cardinal had no choice, so he threw the problem to us. If we can't solve the problem of loan repayment, we will lose many allies."

"What about the one or two countries that are most affected by the surprise attacks? Use military force to subdue them."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to launch a surprise attack of that magnitude in the short term. It's best to resolve it diplomatically."

The Pope's tone rarely revealed a hint of helplessness: "The red mercury issue will be solved by the Gregory family. The envoys who want mechanical technology will not get any benefits from Franco. What we need to do is to analyze the secrets of the relics of the old era and explore new technologies to maintain the technological gap."

"Shouldn't you go to Franco for this kind of thing? My knowledge of mechanics is only average."

César's expression turned a little strange, and his eyes turned to the long wooden box in the Pope's hand.

"They are not qualified and cannot even open this box. If they want to research and reproduce the technology of the old era, they can only rely on you."

"We also have the [White Moon] and the [Black Dragon]."

Thinking of Rundstedt, whose life or death was unknown, César was silent.

"The Ministry of Finance will try to pay to redeem the knights captured by the Tang people. There is no point in feeling sorry for yourself. Now, it belongs to you."

The Pope placed the heavy Seven Deadly Sins beside César's bed, stood up and walked towards the door.

"Father, please save Brother Jose."

The word "father" came out of Césaire's teeth with difficulty. This was the first time he begged his biological father.

"People must have value so that they won't die."

The Pope uttered his last words and closed the door.
