Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 536 Peter has arrived
On the banks of the Lena River, a tall man squatted by the river and twisted the moist clay on the river bank.

"At the end of the 16th century, the Russian Empire, having conquered the Khanate, began its eastward expansion from this point," the man standing beside him said. "Using combined land and water transport, waves of colonists were transported to the Far East. The emergence of each new settlement represented a further expansion of the empire."

"It took almost a century to conquer all of East Siberia. But do you know how long it took the Russians to lose this land? Only three months."

"Peter, the one who can expand the territory is the Tsar. If he calls himself 'the Great' but cannot conquer new lands, we will only call him a 'clown'."

The tall Peter did not comment on this, but just asked indifferently:

"Along the way, I have killed all the extraordinary people who dared to stand in my way. Isn't this conquest?"

"Of course not," the man beside him said, "You can kill their leader, but they'll soon elect their next leader. It's these uncontrolled, illegal psychics who are truly taking this land away from the Rakshasas."

"I can't kill them all, Sullivan," Peter said.

"You can't kill them all, but you can rule them," Sullivan said gravely. "Look at the Amur Coven. They didn't try to kill all the 'non-witches' in this land, but they used killing and fear to control those psychics, making them kowtow before the witches, making them... submit."

Peter was silent for a long time and then said:
"What the Amur Witch Coven can do, I can do as well."

"I have no doubt about it." Sullivan finally smiled. "Peter, after killing Anna, don't return to Luosha."

"The psychics in this land have been sorted out by the witch coven. Those who refused to obey the management have been eliminated, leaving only those psychics who are willing to accept the rule of the witch coven. They have been placed under the order framework they have established. You only need to control the witch coven, and you can use this order framework to control all the psychics in this land, and even... establish your own country."

"Then you will become the real Peter the Great, not just a lucky guy who got the Tsar's secret treasure by chance."

Peter was silent for a long time, and his expression finally showed some emotion.

He stretched out his right arm, and several golden threads emerged from his sleeves, quickly transforming into a nearly three-meter-long golden giant sword. Then he slashed towards the east, and the shock wave tore the ground deeply.

"Then," Peter said firmly, gazing at the distant horizon, "my conquest begins from here."

Yan Yu and Anna studied the intelligence all night long.

"The information released by the official Luosha government portrays Peter as a taciturn patriot." Anna clicked the mouse to close the window and said seriously, "But the reality is not that simple."

"Some of my intel suggests that Peter is constantly seeking political advancement, while the bureaucrats are constantly stalling and prevaricating."

"That's perfectly normal," Yan Yu commented. "A country with such a tragic history, having lost more than half its territory to the psychic rebellion, is bound to be extremely wary of psychics. Furthermore, Peter wasn't officially trained, and his background is questionable. Who would dare to trust him unconditionally? I think Peter launched this Eastern Expedition just to establish his authority for the bureaucrats behind him."

"So, he's quite conceited." Anna changed into a comfortable position in his arms and adjusted the cushion.

"What do you mean?" Yan Yu deliberately tested her.

"He must be losing to the bureaucrats in his political schemes, so he's thinking of showing off his power." Anna smiled beautifully. "You know what? When I first became the Chief Witch, facing a group of old immortals who refused to give up power, I often thought about using force to wipe out the surrounding supernatural gangs and make an example of them."

"So, did you go?"

"No." Anna shook her head slowly, her soft blonde hair rubbing against Yan Yu's chin. "Because I later realized that if I acted like I was going to overturn the table, then no one would play by the rules anymore. The elders would definitely see me as an enemy, not a teammate to compete with."

"So I said that Peter is a very conceited person. He can't accept failure at the poker table, so he chose to march east to establish his power. But his opponents are all mortals... humph, in my opinion, the more powerful military force he shows, the more the domestic bureaucrats will be afraid to exclude him." "It seems that my Anna has completely crushed Peter, at least in terms of wisdom." Yan Yu agreed, and Anna was very satisfied with his address.

How a transcendental being could gain a foothold in a mortal regime was a profound art. Yan Yu was fortunate to have met a tolerant elder like Li Weiguo, and to have the path of Chen Lingyun from his previous life as a reference, allowing him to calmly showcase his talents without arousing fear or suppression from all sides.

Peter's problem was that he didn't know how to get along with ordinary bureaucrats, and he was always greedy for more and faster, so he had to leave the country and launch an eastern expedition...

Ok?
"Do you think he will follow your example?" Yan Yu suddenly had an idea, "Will he run away and form his own faction?"

"It's possible." Anna pondered for a moment, then shook her head. "No, if he wants to seize territory for himself, there are plenty of territories along the way that can give him a foothold."

"Maybe he doesn't like it." Yan Yu said thoughtfully, "In the entire vast North Asian region, your Amur Witch Group is the best integrated in the east. The rest of the country is in chaos. He doesn't have enough manpower, so even if he conquers it, he won't be able to immediately establish order... I think he might want to control your witch group, take advantage of it, and then use it to challenge the domestic situation. If the domestic price is too low, he will simply rebel and establish his own country."

"That only works if he can beat me." Anna sneered.

"Are you sure?" Yan Yu asked.

"I admit he's quite formidable." Anna reviewed the intelligence she had gathered overnight and concluded, "If we were to fight one-on-one, I have an 80% chance of winning."

"Eighty percent is probably too few," Yan Yu said. "Also, we have to be careful not to fight you one-on-one. Intelligence shows that he brought a few people with him. Sullivan, Alexander, and Xie Liufu, all of whom are folk psychics who followed him when he started."

"It doesn't matter." Anna stretched lazily. "I'll take my husband with me. If he doesn't follow the rules of martial ethics, then we can just start a war. We're not afraid of that."

"Who is your husband?" Yan Yu said pretending to be stupid.

"What husband?" Anna also pretended to be stupid and said, "What I said was, 'I will take you there with me'. How did you hear 'husband'? Oh, could it be that you have improper thoughts about me..."

She pinched Yan Yu's cheeks with a smile, and Yan Yu rubbed her belly without hesitation, which made Anna's face flush and her body hot. She couldn't help but raised her mouth and kissed him.

"Anna!" There was a sudden knock on the door, and Clara shouted, "Peter has crossed the Lena River! Lord Ivan has sent an urgent request for help!"

"Get away from here!" Anna yelled immediately, scaring Clara behind the door so much that she ran away.

"Last time you said she didn't knock on the door, so you scolded her harshly." Yan Yu asked with a deliberate smile, "What's the reason this time?"

"She ruined my plan!" Anna turned over angrily and bit Yan Yu's lips hard, like a tiger holding its prey.

The two kissed passionately for a long time. The somewhat aroused Golden Hair began to dishonestly remove Yan Yu's shirt, but he held his hands and said seriously:

"Peter has arrived. Now is not the time to do anything else."

Anna hesitated for a moment, then let go of him and said:

"Then I'll pay you back after I defeat him."

"Okay." Yan Yu smiled, but he made up his mind secretly.

After defeating Peter, I will run away immediately. Only a fool would go back to Amur.

Otherwise, what should I do if this golden-haired witch goes wild and gathers all the witches to keep me?
