Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

The group waved their hands.

Several lieutenants close to Wei Wuji explained, "General, we are telling the truth. You have not reduced our military pay by a single penny; in fact, you have doubled it! Our military pay was already quite high."

"Before, the Khan paid us about the same as the crew of the crewmen. Now, we do all sorts of things here... just training, and we can hunt every day, but there aren't any specific tasks... It's practically like a sanatorium!"

"We really feel uneasy...very uneasy...mainly because of the threat of foreign invasion..."

...

After listening to these people's explanations, Wei Wuji finally understood.

He was worried that these people wouldn't be doing well here, but they felt comfortable and had gotten used to life here.

The main reason is that they feel guilty because they think life here is too good and they have a lot of money.

Upon seeing this, Wei Wuji couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Good, as expected of the elite troops I carefully selected..."

"You're right! I'm already preparing to lead you down the mountain..."

These people all had excited expressions in their eyes.

"I was thinking of coming to give you guys a pep talk, but looking at your expressions, I know I was overthinking it..."

"Well then, I won't waste any more words! You all need to prepare yourselves. We'll be able to descend the mountain in seven days at the earliest, and half a month at the latest... When we descend first, we'll still need to keep our identities secret... So, you all need to pay attention to your attire!"

"Trim your hair and beard! And about your mental state, I was thinking of telling you all that, but it seems I don't need to! You can do a great job without me having to say anything!"

After Wei Wuji finished speaking, these people nodded excitedly.

"General, does this mean we'll be fighting when we go down? Our flight tactics have been honed to perfection in the mountains lately... If we go to war this time, we'll definitely give them a big surprise..."

These were all his elite troops. Wei Wuji nodded without hesitation, "That's right. This time we're going to attack the Slavic country. The main force of the Slavic country has gone to Xiao country. Now, the crew-cut soldiers of the Northern Desert Royal Palace will help us resist them... This time, we must conquer the Slavic country, mainly by taking over their ports near us..."

Wei Wuji has been looking at the map of the Slavic country so many times that it's practically worn out.

When Wei Wuji told them to hide, he knew very well that, given Xiao Ce's personality, hiding was only temporary.

Retreating to advance was Xiao Ce's favorite and most frequently used tactic.

So even when they are in hiding or lying dormant.

Wei Wuji did not slack off; he was constantly thinking about attacking the Slavic country.

And now it's clearly time...

Therefore, he had already assumed many attack locations on the map.

He is destined for fame!

Wei Wuji had no map, but he talked on and on for a long time, spitting as he spoke. In fact, most of these people had never seen a map of the Slavic country.

However, they were all very excited.

After Wei Wuji spoke at length with great enthusiasm, the people listened with equal excitement, showing no signs of fatigue.

In fact, these soldiers knew it was better to be here.

But not a single soldier doesn't want to make a name for himself!

Furthermore, they acknowledged Wei Wuji's abilities; otherwise, they wouldn't have been convinced if a general so much younger than them were in command of them...

Just as everyone was getting excited here...

Inside the Northern Desert King's Palace.

Tian Jinxian then hosted Lis and his group.

Most of them were high-ranking generals from Slavic countries, and even Nie Bing came to participate.

Nie Bing didn't want to participate at first.

However, having witnessed the dramatic changes in the Northern Desert Royal Palace along the way, he still wanted to meet the commander.

After all, her previous departures from the Northern Desert Prince's Palace, including her second visit here, were completely different from this time.

It can be said that such a huge change occurred when Tian Jinxian was in charge.

At this moment, Tian Jinxian was all smiles in the main hall, while the officials below all wore eager expressions.

There was no resistance whatsoever.

After they were all seated, Tian Jinxian said, "Welcome, Acting Lord of the Illuminati, His Highness of the Slavic Kingdom, and all the generals. It is an honor for us to have you grace us with your presence."

"Today, we have also ordered that a feast be prepared for the Slavic army..."

Tian Jinxian may seem a bit dull, but he is actually quite eloquent.

He was extremely enthusiastic and spoke very tactfully.

Actually, Tian Jinxian wasn't like this at the beginning. The reason he became like this is largely thanks to Xiao Ce.

His eloquence was actually learned from Xiao Ce.

Although he had never met Xiao Ce, Yin Pan'er had still written down Xiao Ce's speaking techniques.

It has also become a course on oratory and emotional intelligence.

Previously, Yin Pan'er saw that although Tian Jinxian was talented, his interpersonal skills and eloquence were still too poor, so she gave him the book she had recorded.

Tian Jinxian is a top student and learns very quickly.

This is why Nie Bing looked at Tian Jinxian and spoke, noticing a resemblance to Xiao Ce...

Nie Bing smiled slightly and said politely in return, "I still want to thank Commander Tian for your understanding of the bigger picture. The Northern Desert Royal Palace is a blessed land... Your actions have preserved this blessed land and prevented widespread suffering... This is truly a great act of kindness..."

Tian Jinxian spoke up, "Lord Nie Bing, we haven't thought that far ahead. I only know that Prince Xiao Ce is my benefactor, and he has now been harmed by the Fusang Kingdom. Our Mobei Royal Palace may be stronger than other prefects. However, we are still aware of our limitations... It is possible for us to hold our ground."

“However, we don’t have that ability! It just so happens that we heard that His Highness Ries has approached us. With such a powerful backer, we naturally have to rely on him. Moreover, we heard that Prince Xiao Ce had a very good relationship with the Slavic Kingdom before! We should thank His Highness Ries of the Slavic Kingdom for giving us this opportunity.”

Tian Jinxian spoke tactfully, without deliberately ignoring Xiao Ce, but instead showing that he did not forget Xiao Ce's kindness.

If they don't mention Xiao Ce, they will definitely become suspicious.

However, Tian Jinxian kept mentioning Xiao Ce and never forgot Xiao Ce's kindness. He only joined forces with Ries to avenge Xiao Ce, so all of this became perfectly natural.

Tian Jinxian said, "We may not have much else here, but we have some savings in silver and grain. Our outdated arsenal may not be able to produce weapons as advanced as yours, but it can still fill the gap if you urgently need them. We will be responsible for these things from now on..."

"And as for your weapons transport, if you trust us, we can also take on that responsibility... In any case, we are supporting you with the full strength of the Northern Desert Royal Palace!"

After listening to Tian Jinxian's words, these people smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

Tian Jinxian kept making empty promises to them, giving them whatever he could.

Anyway, he knew very well that his goal was to lure them across the Great Wall in the northern desert, then lock them inside and then trap them.

The Turkic people would cut off their supplies...

Based on this timeline and the extent of their modifications to the Northern Desert King's Palace, it wouldn't be easy for them to breach it even if they wanted to.

Therefore, even if Tian Jinxian agrees now, it would be the best outcome.

It's nothing but bragging...

However, because Tian Jinxian's boasting was so sincere, they had absolutely no doubts.

With a cupped hand and a smile, Ries said, "Commander Tian, ​​we feel bad refusing your hospitality... so I won't stand on ceremony."

Tian Jinxian said, "Of course, in our Xiao Kingdom, there's a saying: 'We're all family, so we don't need to speak like outsiders...' Actually, our crew-cut soldiers are quite capable in combat. If you need our support, we can provide you with some!"

After hearing Tian Jinxian's words, Rhys glanced at Nie Bing beside him with some surprise.

After all, Nie Bing was most worried about their crew-cut army, because in the plan, their crew-cut army was only supposed to be here.

They were clearly afraid...

Actually, they were conflicted; they wanted to use them, but they were also afraid to use them...

The reason for wanting to use them is that the crew-cut army is renowned for its bravery; the complete annihilation of the Slavic Salih armed forces was the work of these people.

Their combat capabilities are certainly capable.

However, they were also wary of these combatants, since they were too strong and might turn against them.

For them, it was a catastrophe.

Later, Nie Bing and Lisi discussed it and came up with a solution: to tentatively ask them.

If they are willing to send troops, then we don't need their soldiers; what they really want is a stance.

If they are unwilling to send troops, they should carefully consider the reasons behind it.

Now that they've taken the initiative to bring it up, it represents their stance.

Rhys didn't know how to answer either, so he looked at Nie Bing.

Nie Bing guessed Rhys's purpose after being glanced at by him.

"Good! Thank you so much. We've long heard of the Crew-Headed Army's reputation. Commander Tian, ​​with your attitude, we know your stance. For now, we don't want to resort to force, so there's no need for a large-scale army deployment. However, if we ever need you someday, we certainly won't hesitate to come..."

Seeing Nie Bing's attitude, Ries continued, "That's right, Commander Tian just doesn't know about what I told you earlier..."

Tian Jinxian smiled slightly, then said to Ries, "Your Highness Ries, we have already sent an urgent message. However, we have not yet received a reply. We wonder if there is a problem? But, in addition to carrier pigeons, we also have urgent messages delivered by ground. In any case, we will get the information soon!"

"You can go ahead first. When there is news, I will send someone or come over in person to report to you."

Tian Jinxian's attitude was very good, which satisfied everyone...

Everyone was very happy during the meal, and the whole atmosphere was very pleasant.

After dinner, Rhys went to Nie Bing's place.

Nie Bing saw Rhys coming over and first invited him to sit down.

Ries spoke first, asking, "Lord Nie Bing, what do you think?"

Nie Bing smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "There's no problem. Besides, we've seen along the way that there's no resistance, so we can set off as soon as possible."

Rhys nodded: "Lord Nie Bing, would you like to wait here, or come with us?"

Nie Bing was silent for a moment, then said to Rhys, "Of course we'll go together! I've already used my connections with the Illuminati to contact several prefects for you... They're all willing to come to Maoming City outside the Great Wall in the northern desert to discuss this."

Rhys's eyes widened as he listened, his face filled with excitement. He exclaimed, "My lord, is it true? Which two prefects... My lord, your help to us is truly immense!"

Nie Bing said, "Naturally, it's the two prefects closest to us. I'm just acting as a go-between; whether it works out or not... depends on your attitude... Don't thank me too soon... Like I said, we're all in the same boat..."

Reese nodded: "Then shouldn't we hurry up?"

Nie Bing seemed to be thinking, pondered for a moment, and then said to Rhys, "That's right, we really need to hurry! Judging by the days, they should be almost in the waters of Xiao Kingdom. Now that we've confirmed there are no problems here, we have nothing to worry about."

While nodding, Rhys asked Nie Bing, "Lord Nie Bing, could we hand over the transportation work to the people of the Northern Desert Royal Palace? After all, a lot of our troops need logistical support. If we can bring back the troops along this line, we can increase our strength by at least one-fifth!"

Nie Bing nodded repeatedly: "Of course, but it's only up to the section of the Great Wall in the northern desert. You have to understand that there are some things we still need to do ourselves. This line alone is enough to save us a lot of troops. And when we reach the next prefecture, if there is cooperation, we can let the next prefecture take charge. We can't entrust our logistics to one party. If any problems arise, it will be hopeless for us."

"We should handle this matter like slicing a sausage!"

Rhys listened approvingly and agreed: "Then I'll go and talk to them in detail."

Then Rhys asked Nie Bing, "By the way, Lord Nie Bing, even if the people from Fusang come, they won't be able to get here as easily as we have! After all, we've already spread the news of Xiao Ce's death, and the culprit is the people from Fusang! The people of Xiao Ce will probably hate them to death!"
