After listening to what the Minister of War, Carteri, said, Kedewei nodded. Kedewei was quite satisfied with the work of the Minister of War, but he was somewhat dissatisfied with the Minister of Taxation.

"You are going to borrow money, not to rob money, why is it so difficult?"

Kadewei's voice was not loud, but when he said this, Reed was so scared that he quickly knelt on the ground and defended himself.

"Your Majesty, I have tried my best to persuade them, but, but I think this has never happened before. They don't believe in Your Majesty at all. They are afraid, afraid." Reed did not say the following words directly, but after listening to it, Kadewei roughly understood what Reed meant.

"Are you afraid that I will use my power to not pay you back?"

Thinking of this, Kadwei felt relieved.

"They say that I am a tyrant, but this capital city is also extremely prosperous under my governance. But today I will teach them a lesson. I will go and borrow money in a nice way. If they don't give it to me, don't blame me. Pass on my order to seal off all the banks in the capital city and seize all the money used as military funds."

When Kaidewei just said this, no one noticed anything. However, when our Dewei said the last sentence, everyone was shocked. They did not expect that the emperor would give such an order.

The Minister of War was the first to react and immediately bowed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will send someone to do it right away."

This matter is basically led by the Ministry of War, and this is also the policy formulated by the previous emperor.

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, please listen to me."

The Minister of Defense stood up again and objected.

"Your Majesty, it is really inappropriate to allow soldiers to rob civilians. This will destroy the foundation of the empire."

"Hahahaha, the foundation of the empire is soldiers. The soldiers went out to fight and had no money. I asked them to lend me some money, but they refused. So I had no choice but to resort to this last resort. As long as the soldiers are not in chaos, my empire will not be in chaos. These profiteers have been doing evil in the capital, cheating and deceiving people, and have made a lot of money for many years. I asked them to lend me some money, but they still refused to lend me. Then I will teach them a lesson and let them know who is the real master of this empire." Lai Dewei did not feel the slightest guilt. He believed that everything in the empire belonged to him, including his subjects and the money in their hands.

Looking at the unquestionable Kedewei, Defense Minister Marile did not dare to say anything again. If he disobeyed the emperor's wishes again, he would most likely be dismissed by Kedewei or even killed by Kedewei.

After giving a few instructions to his men outside, the Minister of War returned to his seat and waited for Katewe to speak further.

Katewei looked at several ministers and then at Trar, the president of the Magicians' Guild.

"Trar, how is the preparation of the 1000 high- and middle-level mages that I asked you to prepare going?"

Kaidewei spoke as coldly as always, without any emotion.

"Your Majesty, we will be ready in one more day, and then we can go to the front line to provide support."

Trar was also a veteran, and when faced with this kind of thing, he just spoke without hesitation. In fact, he was not prepared at all. He just mobilized some low-level magicians to pass off inferior ones as good ones.

"Look at how efficient the Magicians' Guild is. They are already prepared. However, your magicians don't have to rush to the border. Stay in the capital and follow my command. I want my brother to see that the power of my magicians is not comparable to his."

In Kadwei's mind, the number of magicians owned by the Magician's Guild was more than that in the entire empire, but what he didn't know was that Trar was not going to send out all the high-level combat forces, but just dealt with his request.

"Jin follows your majesty's orders."

The corner of Trar's mouth twitched slightly. He did not prepare so many high-level wizards. If Kaidwei discovered some clues this time, their Magician Guild would really face a catastrophe.

The people in the capital originally thought that war was coming, but it was not a matter of one or two days. No one expected that a sudden catastrophe would befall the four major banks in the capital.

The Imperial Guards were divided into four groups and surrounded the four major banks in the capital. Then all the people in the banks were arrested, and all the cellars containing money were sealed and carried out. It was a shocking discovery that the amount of silver hidden in the cellars of the four major banks in the capital was as high as 5000 million. These million silver coins were enough to start a medium-sized war.

With sufficient silver and money, Katewei immediately ordered all the guards to gather outside the city and attack the Kaidehongluka army on the road outside the city.

The war was about to break out. The whole road was completed by the cavalry of Kethong. When they found that the guards were coming to attack, the cavalry chose to retreat, removed all the checkpoints that had been set up, and rushed back to Kethong's main force to report to Kethong that Ketwei had sent troops to besiege.

"I didn't expect my little brother to be so brave. He actually dared to resist. Hahaha, really, did you think I was unprepared?"

Kaidehong, full of confidence, smiled and said that he did not feel the slightest bit angry about the attack on the level he set.

What he wanted was not a city, a place, a checkpoint, or a castle, but the whole world, the whole kingdom, the whole Longwei Empire, and perhaps all the places on the map. He couldn't be like his brother, who lived in a corner and didn't follow the old rules, only knew how to enjoy himself, but didn't know how to make progress.

"Leave it to me to order the 20 troops to be divided into four teams to surround the entire Longwei City and not let anyone escape. This time, I will give my good brother a good beating."

Kaidehong announced loudly with confidence in his eyes, and the dozen or so messengers behind him scattered. The whole team quickly divided into four parts, and followed their respective routes to surround the direction of Longwei City.

"Wait, you said the defense of the Steel City is so weak?"

The third prince could hardly believe his ears. The steel city described by the ratmen when they came back had poor defenses and the personnel were extremely lax. They had no sense of vigilance at all. Moreover, the ratmen knew the defense level of each garrison and the rotation time clearly.

This rat man was also gathering intelligence for the Third Prince for the first time. The Third Prince was still a little skeptical and looked at Rig, wanting to know what Rig thought.

Looking at the third prince's eyes, Rig naturally knew what he meant.

"The High Priest once said, trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people if you don't trust them. Since we have chosen to let the rat man go for reconnaissance, we must trust him. I think what he said is true, and what he saw is also the facts. The reason why the bear-headed people are notorious is not because of how tight their defense is, but because of their powerful combat capability. Even if they discover that the enemy is attacking, as long as they are properly organized, they can inflict heavy damage on the enemy."

Riger's analysis was very logical and in his spare time, he would also learn some human knowledge and was very familiar with military books.

After listening to Rui Ge's words, the third prince nodded deeply. He also agreed with Rui Ge's words. After several wars with the bear-headed people, he knew that the bear-headed people basically had no tactics and only knew how to charge forward. However, the bear-headed people themselves had strong strength, agility and defense. Even after being surrounded, they were still a tough opponent.

"I think we should do this this time. Break up into small groups and slowly sneak into the Steel City. Then the main force will gather on the periphery. Then, under the two-sided attack, I think even if the Bear-headed Man is powerful, he will be vulnerable. However, the difficulty of this mission is definitely not to be discovered in advance. Through the intelligence from the rat people, I think the possibility of the Bear-headed Man, who is not as confident as him, discovering us is very small. The feasibility of this plan is still relatively high."

Rig thought about it and said that this plan was not complicated to implement and did not require a very thorough plan. Everyone could complete it easily. If the plan was too complicated, the chance of success would decrease. The simpler the plan, the easier it would be to complete.

"Okay, let's do it. But we tiger people can't sneak in. The reason is that the tiger people and the bear-headed people are enemies. Once a large number of tiger people enter the city, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the bear-headed people."

The third prince thought for a moment and said.

"Of course. I've sent people to contact Niu Da and Niu Er. They will also send people to support us. By then it will be relatively easy for us Gnolls and Minotaurs to sneak into the Steel City. You can listen to our signal outside. Once the signal sounds, you must attack the city fiercely. We will work together inside and outside to teach this bear-headed man a lesson."

The two who had made a good plan looked forward to its perfect execution.

After arriving in the new city and staying there for a few days, Torreschia saw that Tian Ye had not returned yet, so he rushed to the city that Tian Ye had just occupied, Chuncheng. Since Chuncheng was not far from the new city, it took him only a few days to get there. After arriving in Chuncheng, he immediately sent someone to contact the Pig-Headed Man.

"Old friend, why are you here? It really caught me by surprise, but it seems that you came at the wrong time. Chuncheng is not so safe now!"

The pig-headed man hugged Torresya with great enthusiasm. After kissing the Ninth Elder that day, the pig-headed man Tian Ye felt much better. He didn't know why, maybe it was because of some excess hormone in his body.

"Hahahaha, I am extremely grateful that the Pig-Headed Priest still treats me, Toresnia, as a friend at this time."

Torresnia stepped forward and hugged Tian Ye. At this time, Torresnia no longer disliked Tian Ye for being a pig-headed man.

"Why does this sound so weird? Lord Demon King, what does this mean?"

Tian Ye was confused and didn't understand what Torresnia meant for a moment.

"You are no longer a small chief of the tribe. You can be called a king. You own three large territories and have more than 100,000 soldiers under your command. In addition, with your identity as a fifth-level demon king, a weaker principality will definitely not be your opponent."

Torreschia laughed.

Hearing this, Tian Ye laughed out loud, and this laughter was from the heart. Torresnia's words were full of compliments, and Tian Ye's first reaction was to know that Torresnia must have come to ask for something from him.

"If we're friends, don't be so polite. Come on, come on, let me show you my new city lord's mansion."

Tian Ye took Torskia and Annania into the new lord's mansion. There were some differences between the lord's mansion in the new city and the lord's mansion in Chuncheng.

The mansion of the Lord of Chuncheng was built in a very grand style, but there were not too many extravagant things, only simple things. However, this simple statement showed that the former Lord of the city was an ambitious man, who replaced all the things he enjoyed with weapons and armor. If Tian Ye had not appeared, he might have become a local lord.

"This Chunchengling Lord's Mansion doesn't look that great."

Anania immediately expressed his outspoken character, but Amano liked it very much, which showed that this little girl did not have any scheming intentions.

"Miss Anna is absolutely right, but I'm not picky about where I live. I think a place like this is already very good. Since we snatched it from someone else, we shouldn't be picky."

Annania's face flushed after hearing Tian Ye's words. It was very impolite in the aristocratic circle to comment on someone else's belongings in someone else's territory. He made the same mistake as when he first met Tian Ye. Torresnia also had a headache looking at his granddaughter.

After they sat down, the maid brought tea and some cakes. Compared with the Chunchengling cakes in the south, which were more diverse than the rough mines in the north, Annaya was salivating.

The first plate of mung bean cake is of elegant green color and is usually oblate in shape. Its surface is as smooth as a mirror with a slight luster.
