About 10 kilometers away from the magnificent temple complex, there was an exquisite and luxurious imperial palace with a 50-meter-tall city wall.
Inside the imperial palace, there were countless blessings of the gods and all kinds of powerful perpetual divine spells.
In the imperial palace, poisons, spells, and other control methods could easily be purified by the perpetual spells left by the gods.
In the history of the Morrince Empire, none of the successive emperors had been poisoned to death or had their minds controlled by powerful Wizards.
In some of the smaller duchies, there would be news from time to time that some of the smaller duchies' kings were controlled by powerful mages or dark creatures.
The imperial palace, in the reception hall.
An elderly man with a crown on his head and a set of royal robes sat on the throne. He had a burly figure and was quite handsome, but his eyes were slightly swollen. He gave off a dignified aura, but at the same time, he gave off an aura of decay.
The old man was the emperor of the Morrince Empire, Morrince 2,867th.
The Morrince Empire was a human empire born after the war of the gods.
Under the protection of the Zaliah divine system, the ancient and huge empire declined, sank, and experienced countless rebellions, upheavals, coups, and divisions.
Even so, it was still passed down from ancient times.
As long as the gods of the Zaliah divine system didn't abandon the Morrince Empire, and as long as the gods of the Zaliah divine system weren't defeated or suppressed by other powerful beings, the Morrince Empire wouldn't be completely destroyed.
This was the difference between a state protected by a god and a state without one.
Before the gods of the Zaliah divine system were suppressed, any force that threatened the survival of the Morrince Empire would eventually be destroyed by the gods.
Yang Feng wisely quit while he was ahead and returned to the Miracle City with his troops.
An official walked to the center of the reception hall and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Governor Bousso of the Molinson Province has a report of success!"
Morrince 2,867th's spirit shook slightly, and he said in a slightly aged voice: "Read it!"
The official read slowly: "Yes!
I, Bousso, led 2,000 cavalrymen, caught up with the main force of Master Ian of the Miracle City in the Red Earth City. I fought desperately and suffered 18 sword wounds. In the end, I beheaded over 7,000 people and defeated Master Ian's main force.
I recaptured the Red Earth City in one fell swoop!
Recover the entire Molinson Province. "
In the assembly hall, the eyes of the ministers standing on both sides of the Morrince Empire flickered with strange looks.
The well-informed ministers of the Morrince Empire had long since learned through their intelligence network that Bousso had fled before Yang Feng's main force arrived at the Barroman City, leaving behind an intact Barroman City for Yang Feng to loot.
Immediately after, as if with the help of the gods, Bousso defeated Yang Feng's forces again and again. This was the 44th time he reported victory.
According to the statistics in Bousso's report, he had already killed more than 200,000 people from Miracle City.
Morrince 2,867th said with a faint smile: "In the face of adversity, Bousso still doesn't give up.
In the end, with 2,000 cavalrymen, he mounted a sneak attack on Ian's main force and inflicted heavy damage on him. He's really a pillar of the Morrince Empire. "
"As His Majesty said, Governor Bousso is really an example for us to learn from!"
"Governor Bousso didn't panic in the face of danger. He took the initiative to abandon the Barroman City to win Ian's heart, and then took the opportunity to mount a sneak attack on the Barroman City and defeat the Devil Ian's main force.
Furthermore, he defeated the Devil Ian 44 times in a row. His military ability is simply unpredictable!
He's really a pillar of the Morrince Empire.
His Majesty should reward him handsomely. "
"…"
As if they had seen it with their own eyes, the officials of Bousso's family loudly praised Bousso's achievements and inverted the truth.
The imperial court was silent.
No one came forward to debunk the big lie.
As if a puppet statue, Casimiro, the prime minister of the Morrince Empire, stood in place, not saying a word.
Morrince 2,867th said faintly: "Good!
Bousso has indeed made a great contribution this time.
However, he has also lost a lot of territory before.
Merits offset demerits, so there's no reward or punishment. Let him continue to be the governor of the Molinson Province. "
"Your Majesty is wise!!"
In the imperial court, countless important officials of the imperial court respectfully said in unison.
An official came forward respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, Governor Bousso is a man of great talent and bold vision. After defeating the Devil Ian in the Red Earth City, he finally persuaded the Devil Ian to agree to attach to the Morrince Empire.
This is the letter of request offered by the Devil Ian. Please have a look, Your Majesty. "
Morrince 2,867th's eyes lit up, and he said solemnly: "The Devil Ian is willing to attach! Hand over the letter of request!"
The official respectfully handed the letter of request to Morrince 2,867th.
The letter of request was specially prepared by Bousso for Yang Feng. It contained many humble words, stating that the Fiend Ian was inspired by the great Morrince 2,867th personality. Moved by Bousso's emotions and reasoning, the Fiend Ian was finally persuaded to join the Morrince Empire as an aristocrat.
Morrince 2,867th's face flushed and he praised repeatedly: "Good!!
Good!!
Good!!
This Ian is really sensible!
Ha-ha, under my rule, the territory of the Morrince Empire has expanded again. This achievement surpasses that of countless ancestors.
Ha-ha!!
Ian and Bousso have done a good job, I want to reward them handsomely!!! "
Ever since he inherited the throne, Morrince 2,867th had everything he wanted.
His only regret was that he couldn't make any contributions and surpass his ancestors.
Now that the Miracle City had chosen to attach, the territory of the Morrince Empire had expanded again.
Morrince 2,867th would become the most accomplished emperor among the more than 2,000 emperors of the Morrince Empire, which was enough for him to show off to his ancestors and descendants.
The official continued to propose: "Your Majesty, Governor Bousso believes that Master Ian has attached the entire Miracle City and made outstanding contributions. Only by conferring him the title of duke can he reward his contributions.
As for his fief, let the Red Earth Wasteland be his fief.
Anyway, the Red Earth Wasteland isn't part of the territory of the Morrince Empire.
With his Miracle City as a barrier, we can resist the military pressure from the 3 empires, the Beastman Empire, the Elven Empire, and the Titan Empire, from the Red Earth Wasteland. "
If Yang Feng's incarnation of Ian was conferred the title of duke in one fell swoop, then the Bousso Family would gain a political ally of a hereditary peer greater aristocrat in the Morrince Empire.
It would also be of great benefit to the Bousso Family.
With a flushed complexion, Morrince 2,867th was ready to accept the appointment: "Good!
Good! "
Morrince 2,867th had long since heard about the barrenness of the Red Earth Wasteland.
That piece of barren land had never been on his mind.
The mobilization of the hunting fang corps was promoted by some greater aristocrats who coveted the wealth of Yang Feng's Miracle City in the imperial court.
As long as Yang Feng's Miracle City was captured, then those greater aristocrats would be able to swallow it whole.
The Morrince Empire was huge, but many of its vast territories already had their own masters.
The Miracle City, which had no background, was the best target to annex. Even if those greater aristocrats swallowed this fat piece of meat, it wouldn't cause too much of a backlash.
"No!
Your Majesty, you mustn't! "
At this moment, a tall, handsome middle-aged man with a trace of an overbearing aura between his eyebrows stepped forward, came to the center of the hall, and said loudly.
Morrince 2,867th's face sank slightly, and he said coldly: "Isere, state your reason!"
"Your Majesty, the Fiend Ian killed 100,000 soldiers of the hunting fang corps and 50,000 soldiers of the silver sword corps. At the same time, he entered the Molinson Province and burned and looted, killing hundreds of thousands of people.
We mustn't let such a fiend possess us. "
"Governor Bousso, reports of success have been coming in every day, and he has defeated the Fiend Ian's main force in the Red Earth City in one fell swoop.
He's really a peerless general of the Morrince Empire. I think we should let him lead his troops to attack the Miracle City, capture it, and offer it to you, Your Majesty.
That's the best plan! "Isere said with a cold smile to the officials of Governor Bousso's faction.
The complexions of many officials of Governor Bousso's faction changed slightly.
They knew very well how Bousso won this victory.
If Governor Bousso led his troops into the Red Earth Wasteland, only death would await him.
Morrince 2,867th swept the patriarch of Bousso's Orthux Family with a glance and said faintly: "Favio, what do you think?"
Favio replied calmly: "Your Majesty, the Red Earth Wasteland is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It lacks water and food.
If the main force attacks, the amount of provisions and water consumed will be astronomical.
The Molinson Province has suffered successive military disasters, and it will be difficult to come up with the money and provisions to continue attacking the Red Earth Wasteland. "
"If the empire wants Governor Bousso to attack the Miracle City, then I believe that Governor Bousso will do his utmost to capture the Red Earth Wasteland for the empire.
But before that, the empire would like to allocate 40 million gold coins for military expenses.
In addition, it is also necessary to allocate 2 corps' weapons, equipment, siege equipment, and a large amount of provisions.
Otherwise, if we rashly enter the Red Earth Wasteland without sufficient preparation, we will only repeat the defeat of the hunting fang corps. "
Morrince 2,867th frowned slightly and sank into his thoughts: "So much money and provisions!!"
