Doomsday Code

So the issue that follows is no longer military, but political.

Isolated and with Chen Cheng's legitimate status, the worst outcome for them would be a few high-ranking officials stubbornly resisting, only to be crushed by the legitimate forces.

When Chen Cheng emerged from inside the Great Wall the next day, he saw the military report Ye Rong had given him. Although he already knew the result through his reconnaissance of the Great Wall, he still couldn't help but smile with excitement after reading the report.

Finally, he had a decent base of operations.

When he saw Ye Rong's report on the two resistance forces, Chen Cheng's opinion was similar to his.

The major military operation has come to a temporary halt; now it is time for political action.

When Chen Cheng saw the latest report on the operation related to the snowfall last night, he thought of the proud and independent Zhi Xin.

It now seems that Piaoxueling made its own choice, and this time they have made a great contribution.

Chen Cheng led Sheli towards Engela City, the largest city closest to the Great Wall. Fei Xin, whom Chen Cheng had failed to meet before, was now waiting for him there.

This time, Chen Cheng no longer needed to hide anything; he flew at breakneck speed all the way to Engla City.

Because of the constant infiltration of the Snow Order, last night's operation did not have a significant impact on the city.

Now, control of the city has been handed over from Fei Xin to the Great Wall Army captain who came to visit, while Fei Xin is waiting for Chen Cheng to arrive at the Snowdrift Pavilion.

"His Majesty."

When they saw Chen Cheng appear, Fei Xin led her subordinates forward to pay their respects.

Chen Cheng returned the greeting with his hands clasped in return:

"I should thank you. If it weren't for your swift action in bringing the situation under control, the situation in the North wouldn't be as good as it is now."

Chen Cheng's gratitude was genuine. The less damage the Northern Territory suffered during this change of ownership, the less time it would need to invest in new development.

It can be said that after this operation, he completely broke with the five kingdoms. What he will likely experience afterward is the same as that of his father and grandfather, facing their allied forces to encircle and annihilate him.

So what followed was a race against time; he needed to develop and use industrial thinking to launch a devastating attack on them.

This takes time.

The actions of the Snow Order last night undoubtedly greatly reduced the need for post-war reconstruction in the North.

Moreover, their actions also indirectly reduced their own casualties.

Therefore, Chen Cheng's words of thanks came from the bottom of his heart.

After exchanging a few polite words, Fei Xin said to Chen Cheng:

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, but the Lord of the Heart has been monitoring the Church's Northern Messenger these past few days to prevent the Church from creating any obstacles during our operations."

"And here is the intelligence we, the Snowdrift Order, have collected over the years from various cities and families in the Northern Territory, including their crimes, the locations of their hidden treasures, and so on."

On behalf of Your Majesty, I am delivering this intelligence to you.

What Fei Xin took out was priceless to Chen Cheng at this moment.

With this intelligence, Chen Cheng will be able to manage the northern border in the future.

This time, Chen Cheng didn't say thank you again, because it was obvious that Piaoxueling already considered him as one of his subordinate organizations.

You can say thank you to your friends, but you need to be clear about rewards and punishments for those who are loyal to you.

"The Snowfall Order will remain in effect, but I hope your intelligence network will extend beyond the North to the entire continent."

Chen Cheng's words were quite clear: if the Snowfall Order pledged allegiance to him, it would become his independent intelligence system, and they would only need to be responsible to Chen Cheng.

Throughout history, such organizations have always been the most trusted confidants of emperors.

For a subject, no one would not want to become the emperor's confidant.

Chen Cheng continued:

"You have made a great contribution this time. After the merits are tallied, I will reward you according to your merits. Wealth, cultivation resources and so on will be given generously."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"No need to thank me, and don't always be so polite. The situation in the Northern Territory can be said to be initially settled. I would like to meet with the Lord of the Blazing Heart and ask her to take charge of the affairs in the Northern Territory."

Chen Cheng's words were not empty talk; his trip north this time was originally intended to borrow the Great Wall Army to save the Kingdom of Moss.

Although they were unable to lend any troops, they indirectly drew the attention of the great kingdom behind the Kingdom of Feld to the northern border, which in turn relieved the siege of the Kingdom of Mos.

Even so, he still had to head south because he needed the support of mages, and many powerful mages to help him build a complete magic factory production line in the North.

At the same time, he also needed the alchemy master Chikuwa to go north so that his alchemy could be used to transform some areas in the north, so that the northern region, which is in winter for most of the year, could produce food.

This also requires the assistance of a large number of mages.

The only place Chen Cheng could think of to recruit so many high-level mages was the Elf race.

Therefore, he himself had to tell the elves about this matter to show how much he valued them.

Moreover, if there is still time, he should go deeper into the interior, preferably to the Adventurers' Guild headquarters before the early convening of the House of Representatives.

Now that relations with the five kingdoms have broken down, and among the three major powers, the Adventurers' Guild is the most likely to be won over, so Chen Cheng has to make a trip there.

It can be said that Chen Cheng still has a lot of things to do, so he doesn't have time to stay in the North to do any work.

After thinking it over, Chen Cheng realized that the only person he could think of in charge was Zhixin.

The fact that she built the Snowdrift Order, an intelligence organization that infiltrated the entire Northern Territory, from scratch is enough to demonstrate her organizational and management abilities.

Fei Xin was stunned for a moment when she heard this, because Zhi Xin had previously told her that Chen Cheng's attitude towards their Snowfall Order was not very good.

Why is it that they suddenly want Zhixin to take charge of affairs in the Northern Border?

However, Fei Xin quickly came to her senses and then told Chen Cheng where Zhi Xin was.

Feixin originally wanted to take Chen Cheng with her, but Chen Cheng didn't let her lead the way because Feixin still had to collect reports from members of the Snow Order in various places.

After Chen Cheng left Piaoxue Pavilion, Ye Rong and the others approached him.

After another round of pleasantries and inquiries about the current situation, Chen Cheng shared his thoughts with Ye Rong.

After listening, Ye Rong pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Your Majesty's arrangement is fine. I had heard of her name when I was in the Demigod Temple. However, that Zhi Xin is very cold-hearted. I just don't know if she will agree."
