101: Transmission across borders, forced national war! (2)
Forgotten Land.
Bai Shuya and Bian Yuerong were already waiting.
It had been a few days since they last met.
The expansion project here was progressing well, but it only involved building some new houses and couldn't extend the village beyond the light barrier.
At the same time.
When everyone saw Lin Ye appear with the Moon Queen and the four princesses, Bian Yuerong couldn't help but reveal a look of shock.
The Queen's beauty was like that of the Moon Goddess.
Even other women couldn't help but stop and gaze upon her.
"Hmph, now you know why he hasn't come back, don't you?" Bai Shuya snorted with a hint of sourness: "How does the saying go in the Three Kingdoms... 'Enjoying this place so much, one forgets Shu.'"
Cough cough~
Bian Yuerong was a professional, but she truly couldn't help it. She immediately covered her mouth and lightly coughed twice, then stepped forward and said:
"Demon Lord, the situation has undergone a huge change. All information about you has been exposed online by enemy nations. We have blocked the main channels within our borders, but we can't stop various unofficial news. Your safety has become the biggest problem right now..."
Lin Ye was aware of the situation from the internet, but he wasn't in a hurry to reply. He first had the Queen and others bind to the Star Tower, then instructed Bai Shuya.
"Prepare several more sets of materials for the teleportation array; I'll be opening it again soon."
Again?
Bai Shuya paused: "The war on the Kingdom's side hasn't stabilized yet. Where will you open it again?"
"Wherever there's a war, that's where I'll open it!"
Lin Ye didn't understand warfare, nor did he consider how to fight a war.
He only considered one thing.
If a fight broke out, how could he get there the fastest?
Thus.
The tactic was very simple: a direct teleportation array to the enemy's face.
Bian Yuerong understood.
"Good!"
"As long as we have a stable military supply channel, I am confident I can win any war!"
Hahahaha~
Lin Ye laughed, patting Bai Shuya's shoulder: "See? In the eyes of young warriors, there is only a thirst for glory."
Ah?
Bian Yuerong was slightly stunned, then said seriously: "Do you really not need me for the first battle? I will surely win!"
Lin Ye truly laughed.
I am the Regent, and I'm not even in a hurry to conquer cities and seize territories, yet she's incredibly eager.
"The Moon Shadow Kingdom is now rife with rebellion, and the first to bear the brunt is Hercynian..."
Bian Yuerong's expression turned serious, and she preemptively shouted: "As long as the teleportation array can get us there, give me ten days! Within ten days, I will capture Hercynian!!"
Hehehehe...
Lin Ye couldn't help but laugh.
"These young people nowadays watch too many short videos; they don't think before they speak."
"Ten days?"
"The day lilies would have wilted by then; what good would you be to me?"
"Besides."
"The four great families of Sakura, and South Korea's four great chaebols, I annihilated their main forces in the Royal Capital. How much combat power could they possibly have left?"
Bian Yuerong's eyes gleamed, and she took another step forward, saying with a resolute face: "Three days, eternal time, within three days, I will capture Hercynian! I am willing to sign a military pledge!"
Hmm...
This timeframe was acceptable.
But Lin Ye still had something to say: "You are voluntarily coming to fight this battle, but there will be no military pay."
"No military pay~!"
Bian Yuerong stated firmly:
"After capturing Hercynian, I want half of all the spoils of war in the city!"
Are you dreaming?
Lin Ye directly pulled the Moon Queen, who was watching from the side, closer to him:
"Come, in front of the Queen, tell me how much you want?"
Bian Yuerong immediately felt guilty, and her expression was extremely awkward, but this proportion had been set by her superiors before she came, so what could she do?
Lin Ye sneered:
"After capturing the Royal Capital, all the spoils of war, including what was obtained from confiscating properties, all belong to Her Majesty the Queen!"
"I, the dignified Moon Shadow Regent, Cabinet Chief Assistant, Privy Council Chief Advisor, Grand Councillor, Minister of Finance, Minister of Magic... fully in charge of all matters in the Kingdom, even after taking down the Royal Capital yesterday, I could only get the small amount of gold dropped by slain players."
"Now, look into my eyes and say it again: how much do you want to split?"
I...
I, I, I...
Bian Yuerong was truly at a loss for words.
Lin Ye said directly: "Don't freeze up there. I'll give you a number. After it's taken, all the leveling areas, including the BOSSes, will belong to you. As for other businesses like mining, engineering, and commerce, you'll have priority for contracting them."
"You should know, that place isn't an empire where Chinese players are located. No matter how overbearing you are there, no one will gossip, and you might even get applause and cheers, with people sending virtual airplanes and hot air balloons."
"Additionally."
"During the war, I won't take the equipment or gold dropped by players you kill, and for future tax rates, I will try to give you discounts as well."
Bian Yuerong stepped back half a pace, likely going to contact someone.
Lin Ye was not in a hurry.
War was definitely going to happen.
He wasn't considering winning or losing yet.
The key was, what happened after it was taken down?
There were so many players; could one person kill them all?
Even if he could.
Lin Ye didn't have that much time.
And there was the Forgotten Land; this was the most important place.
Moon Shadow Kingdom.
After taking down the most important Royal Capital, the remaining rebellions in various places were what the enemy wanted to see.
Hoping to use these to consume my time and energy?
Ridiculous.
Lin Ye certainly wouldn't let them have their way.
If the military didn't make a move.
Lin Ye didn't care either.
He had money in hand.
As long as there were military funds.
Then you had everything!
Fifty billion in military funds, how long could you fight?
Soon.
Bian Yuerong turned back: "We accept your terms, but your territory in eternal must nominally belong to China."
The military's idea was simple.
Whether the terms negotiated were good or bad was simply a matter of earning more or less at one time.
For players and guilds, this was very important.
But for them, it wasn't that big of a deal.
The key was long-term interests.
Land, reputation, merit!
If they could capture a thousand li of fertile land belonging to China, even if they suffered a heavy loss at the time, they would inevitably earn it back over time, and earn big.
The key was.
In-game wins and losses, merit was really hard to calculate.
But if you linked it to reality, it became much easier to calculate.
Chinese people were very practical.
If you calculate merit, calculate it by the acre for me.
This was an old rule that had been around for many years.
However much was taken down, that's how much merit there must be.
A thousand li for a marquis.
Ten thousand li for a king.
If the Northern Expedition succeeded, it meant sealing the wolf's dwelling!
Lin Ye once again pulled the Queen out, smiling: "Come, do you want to see what you're saying?"
Bian Yuerong was a bit awkward, and quietly leaned into Lin Ye's ear: "I'm talking about reality."
Lin Ye: "Then fine, what's my identity in reality?"
Bian Yuerong shook her head, indicating she didn't understand.
Lin Ye: "I'm a university student. You're talking to me about this? What, are you going to change my ID card?!"
Bian Yuerong seemed to understand.
"Alright, it's a deal!"
"When does the war begin?"
Lin Ye turned to look at Bai Shuya.
"Are there enough materials?"
"Enough."
"Then now!"
"Now?"
Bian Yuerong was clearly unprepared.
Lin Ye never procrastinated. He pulled Bian Yuerong and returned to the Royal Capital, boarded Lulu, and flew directly to Hercynian.
"Have all your people teleport to the Forgotten Land and wait. Get the key from General Bai."
Thump~
Thump!
Bian Yuerong's heart pounded uncontrollably.
War!
Was it finally coming?
