Chapter 521 What is an offensive move? That's called a defensive switch!
"Let's go, Big Brother wants to see you."
The puppet controlled by Liam was taken out of its heavily guarded cell.
"Big Brother? Who's Big Brother?"
Liam was very confused.
You'll find out when you get there.
The soldier showed no intention of answering.
After a moment's thought, Liam roughly understood that the so-called "big brother" was probably Jiang Shuzhou himself.
I didn't expect this guy to be so approachable.
Thinking this, Liam was brought in front of Jiang Shuzhou, and at the same time, he also saw an unexpected person.
"The Marquis of Kuamrin?"
A trembling figure paused and turned around.
"Your Majesty Liam?"
Normally, if the two met in the city, Marquis Kuamlin would at least exchange pleasantries and then invite Liam to a party.
But unexpectedly, the two met in this place at this time.
"You've come here?"
"Ahem, Your Majesty, well, ahem, um... I'm here to bring peace."
Even a nobleman as thick-skinned as Marquis Kuamrin hesitated for a moment before uttering these words.
He never expected to run into Liam.
"By the way, Your Majesty, what brings you here...?"
"I, cough cough, I'm here to discuss the rotation of troops with His Majesty Jiang Shuzhou."
Liam is truly a legend; his mind works incredibly fast.
"what?"
Marquis Kuamrin was stunned. A troop rotation? Was he out of his mind?
Wasn't Jiang Shuzhou here to attack the city? How could this be a troop rotation?
Besides, didn't you, Liam, make a vow? What, are you planning to break it?
"Gentlemen, please come in. The elder brother wants to see you."
Before the two could continue, a voice came from inside, so they had no choice but to proceed despite their hesitation.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect you two to be so quick, arriving here together."
Jiang Shuzhou said in a slightly teasing tone.
This empire is fascinating.
Then, Jiang Shuzhou continued.
"What, are you planning to surrender the city to me?"
"Ahem, what are you saying? How can this be called surrender? This should be called a change of guard."
Liam coughed sharply, characterizing the incident as a defensive rotation.
"What does it mean?"
"Think about it. You came because of a letter of appeal from Empress Rosemary. What does that mean? It means she hopes you can help her restore order!"
"Didn't you come here this time to take over Mendetek's defenses, in order to deter the disobedient?"
So that's how it can be understood?
Watching Liam's endless chatter, Jiang Shuzhou realized that his understanding of the Empire was still superficial.
As expected, the old saying was true.
After entering the pass, great Confucian scholars naturally came to debate the classics for me.
Isn't that it?
"Absolutely right, that's exactly what I was thinking. Lord Liam, you understand me perfectly!"
Jiang Shuzhou laughed heartily, appearing quite happy.
His smile quickly vanished, and he looked at Marquis Kuamrin.
"What is it, yours?"
"I...I've come to bring peace."
Marquis Kuamlin could only give such a dry reply.
He really didn't expect that someone could be so shameless, especially Liam, the legendary knight of the Senate.
This is outrageous.
"What kind of peace law?"
Jiang Shuzhou said coldly. He had never had a good impression of these nobles, and besides, what was this person saying?
There is no war between me and Mendeteke! It's just a slight disagreement and friction over the rotation of defenders. It's all a technical adjustment and there's nothing wrong with it.
"Uh, no, Your Majesty, I was so terrified by your glory that I spoke nonsense. There was no war! It was just that you came to relieve us and there was a communication breakdown. It's all Ethan's fault; he misunderstood you!"
Marquis Kuamrin quickly reorganized his words, dismissing his previous statement without hesitation and refusing to mention war or peace.
"Yes, you are indeed very good."
Jiang Shuzhou was somewhat satisfied, and then he asked another question.
"So what exactly are you here for?"
"Your Majesty, I am here to deliver supplies to you, and of course, a small token of my appreciation."
As he spoke, Kuamrin handed an entire spatial ring to Jiang Shuzhou.
This young man is quite savvy.
After carefully examining the area with his mental energy, Jiang Shuzhou smiled and then spoke.
There's no other reason than that these nobles are genuinely wealthy; Jiang Shuzhou never imagined that nobles could be so rich.
"Good, you pass."
Jiang Shuzhou nodded in satisfaction; his complexion was much better now.
"Well then, that's settled then. I'll accept your gift."
Afterwards, Jiang Shuzhou discussed taxation with Marquis Kuamrin.
Marquis Kuamrin only said he would hand over half of his estate as a "subsidy" for Jiang Shuzhou.
Jiang Shuzhou didn't say anything about it, but in his heart he had already sentenced them to death.
They're only handing over half their property, not their territory. What does that mean?
Once Jiang Shuzhou enters the city, acquiring the wealth of these nobles will be a piece of cake.
How dare you bribe me with my things?
Jiang Shuzhou gave Marquis Kuamlin a deep look but said nothing.
Liam is a legend and has value, while these nobles are useless and should be eliminated.
Soon, the two left Jiang Shuzhou's camp, preparing to open the city gates to welcome Jiang Shuzhou's arrival.
Soon after, a piece of news that shocked the entire main plane spread.
Jiang Shuzhou of the Mage Alliance actually managed to defeat Mendtec of the Empire?!
And Mendeteke actually voted?
In other words, the northern border of the empire has now been effectively occupied by Jiang Shuzhou!
Soon, the entire main plane was in an uproar.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
Inside the floating city, Napamela, who had retired from her post as Guardian of the North, was listening with great interest to news from the entire prime plane.
"What? You mean, he's just a mage, and he actually managed to reach the core city of the empire? How is that possible?"
When he heard the news, his first reaction was disbelief.
"This is really outrageous."
Has the empire reached this level?
Napamela could only lament how quickly time had passed; that young man of yesteryear was now capable of standing against the entire empire.
"Perhaps, this is him."
I've let Pamela go. There's no comparison. I should focus on the experiments and not get upset over these trivial things.
Compared to him, the other legendary mages were not so calm.
"I can give it a try too."
Some people are even preparing to assemble troops, following Jiang Shuzhou's example, and intend to participate in this great battle together.
In their eyes, the empire was like a dilapidated house that would collapse if knocked on twice.
