Cataclysm King

Chapter 598 Leader Negotiation
"The Lord of Silverwind City, Earl Iron Feather, Sean Cumberland, is of mixed dragon-eagle blood. Although he is a ninth-rank warrior, his status in the Red Dragon Royal Family is not high because of his bloodline. It is said that his strength is not outstanding among the dragonborn, but his flying speed is very fast. His 'Dragon Eagle Legion' is also good at lightning surprise attacks."

"The Red Dragon Royal Family has issued the conscription order a long time ago, but this guy has been dragging his feet and hasn't sent out the troops yet. It's obvious that he has other ideas. And if he really cares about his reputation, there's no reason for him to make a mortal enemy of our rebel army. There's a high probability that there are other reasons for him to stop us."

"Yes. The transfer order was issued by the Holy See. Logically, these old nobles dare not refuse it. But since they don't accept the transfer order, they can only join other forces. The Light Sect, the Scarlet Sect, or the Lord of War. These are the three foreign god forces. Now the main armies of the two dragon gods are in the holy city of Vandiyas. There are more people who want to attack the Red Dragon King Acheron than us. No matter who ordered Earl Sean to stop us, there is no possibility of peace talks. We must fight."

"I think so too. But the terrain of Silver Wind City is dangerous. If we attack it by force, there may be heavy casualties."

"Yes. If we really want to fight, we have to find a way to lure out that 'Earl of Iron Feathers' Sean and ambush him to reduce the casualties."

"Are you sure?"

"I guess so. Previously, I teamed up with Marshal Andre of Iris in the Old World to kill a ninth-level pure-blooded dragon. I think I have some confidence."

"Oh? But it's not easy. That guy won't leave Silver Wind City easily."

"So I plan to go to the Crypt Lizard Tribe first."

"."

In the tent, Qin Rushi told Ji Xun about the recent situation.

Ji Xun also helped analyze the battle situation.

The conclusions reached are basically the same, and we have to fight a tough battle no matter what.

However, Silver Wind City is in a dangerous location, so a strong attack is not a good option.

Fortunately, Ji Xun came, giving the rebels another option, which is the decapitation tactic.

As they were chatting, cheers and shouts were heard outside the tent.

Ji Xun knew that Isabel and David were sparring with each other, and everyone in the camp was standing around laughing and watching the fun.

Qin Rushi thought of something and said, "Your two disciples are very good."

Thinking of the "Master's wife" she had been called before, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Although this name is a bit abrupt, it is also interesting.

Hearing this, Ji Xun's eyes turned and he also said: "Yes. In the future, these two little guys will definitely be the dazzling new stars in the Card Master civilization."

He talked about the origins of the two people, and also briefly recounted what had happened in the Eastern Wasteland and the Old Continent during this period.

Qin Rushi heard about the decisive battle in the East Wilderness and the two battles for territory between the Allied Forces and Duke Simon, and her crystal eyes were bright with excitement.

Only then did she realize that so many things had happened.

At this time, Ji Xun glanced at the vague shadow of Bai Qiu behind Qin Rushi and asked, "By the way, Aunt Qin, how confident are you in advancing to the ninth level now?"

When he came to the camp before, he had actually discovered that Qin Rushi and her contracted immortal family seemed to be highly compatible.

The situation of the God Stealer Bai family is very special. They practice cultivation in partnership with the immortals.

Bai Qiu is the immortal who is just one step away from igniting the divine fire. That step cannot be accomplished by just his own spirit body; it must have a companion contract master.

Before, the gap between Qin Rushi and it was too big, the degree of compatibility was not high, and the combat power that could be exerted was limited.

Now Qin Rushi has already stood firmly on the eighth level, which is obviously different.

"About 10% or 20%."

Qin Rushi thought about it and said, "I successfully stole part of the luck of the Lord of War Disasters before, and my understanding of the laws of war has also been greatly improved, touching the threshold of the holy realm. But it is not stable yet, and it will take a long time to figure it out."

After saying that, she looked at Ji Xun with a slightly strange expression and asked, "Why did you suddenly reach the ninth level?"

It is precisely because she is at the bottleneck of the ninth level that she knows the difficulty of promotion.

Without a great opportunity, most eighth-level cultivators will be stuck at this bottleneck for their entire lives.

You have to know that the last time we met, Ji Xun was only at the seventh level, and had not even touched the threshold of the Saint Realm. This time when they met, he even praised him for two major levels.

Even though the two were already familiar with each other, Qin Rushi still found it incredible.

Hearing this, Ji Xun smiled and said, "It really was a bit of luck. I realized the 'Power of Tyrant's Rules' in the battle with King Arthur of Oran, and then I somehow got a glimpse of some of the rules of how the universe works. Later, with the help of the Crown of Thorns and the luck of the dynasty, I was able to advance successfully."

There was nothing to hide from Qin Rushi, so he told her in detail the process of his promotion and some of his insights.

It can also give her a reference.

'.'

Qin Rushi listened silently, but a hint of surprise flashed across her face from time to time.

Only then did she understand why Ji Xun said it was a fluke.

To others, this experience does indeed involve a lot of "luck".

Each of those great opportunities is not available to ordinary people.

But he happened to encounter them all.

Of course, Qin Rushi doesn’t think it’s just luck.

It was a life-and-death adventure.

She knew very well that this blessing of luck in times of crisis was directly related to Ji Xun's personality and the JOKER career sequence.

After hearing this, Qin Rushi's eyes were filled with relief and emotion: "When I first comprehended the Saint Realm, Lord Bai Qiu told me that the Saint Realm is actually the performance of the card master's control over the laws. Above that is the divine power of the universe's rules. And you actually boasted that you comprehended the 'power of rules' at that level, which is really outrageous."

"hehe."

Ji Xun smiled without comment, turned around and looked back, it seemed that he didn't find it that difficult.

Destiny is magical. Looking into the future, there are countless possibilities, but looking back at the past, there is only one way to come.

But some things can be copied.

With a flash of thought in his mind, Ji Xun suddenly said, "By the way, Aunt Qin, there is something that can help you practice."

Qin Rushi cast a curious look: "Oh?"

Ji Xun raised his hand, took out a card, and cast a psychic spell.

As soon as the ritual was completed, an ancient black-covered book slowly appeared in the spiritual array.

Qin Rushi looked at the royal power emanating from the classics, and didn't know what it was.

The virtual image of Bai Qiu behind her suddenly appeared as if stimulated, revealing a very surprised expression, and blurted out: "It turned out to be the [Secret Book of Imperial Conferment]?"

No wonder it was so surprised.

Because what is in front of you is one of the royal treasures of the Talen Empire!

Not many people have heard of it, let alone seen it with their own eyes.

Of course, what Bai Qiu found even more strange was how this thing ended up in Ji Xun's hands.

"Ah."

Ji Xun greeted Bai Qiu, nodded, and explained to Qin Rushi: "This is the secret book of enthronement inherited by the Augustus family. It just so happens that Chujiu is the Augustus King of this generation, so I took it and used it."

"."

Qin Rushi is not surprised.

She knew the relationship between Ji Xun and Chu Jiu.

However, when Bai Qiu heard this, a strange look appeared on his majestic snake face.

To put it bluntly, even with its current rank, it might not have been qualified to have its name included in this book during the imperial era.

I didn’t expect that it would now be in the hands of someone who is not King Augustus.

Moreover, it looks like it’s ready to be used?

But this thing can only be used by King Augustus.
Without waiting for Bai Qiu's doubts to show on his face, Ji Xun directly opened the secret book, and when he was about to write on the blank page, he seemed to have thought of something, hesitated for a moment, tilted his head and asked: "By the way, Aunt Qin, what official position do you want to confer? Valkyrie?"

If it were someone else, Qin Rushi would still doubt the other party's motives, but for Ji Xun, she did not hesitate at all. Instead, she blinked and asked in surprise: "Are you going to confer a title on me?"

The word "consecration" was still a very new word to her, and she had no idea what it meant.

But Bai Qiu behind her was very clear about the weight of these words.

The expression on the snake's face twitched inexplicably, as if to say: Can you be canonized?
"Yes."

Seeing Qin Rushi's puzzled expression, Ji Xun said casually: "There are many benefits after the canonization."

This royal treasure passed down by the Emperor of the Tarun Empire serves as a vassal.

After being canonized, the card master will be blessed by the dynasty's luck, which can directly change the card master's fate and fortune.

The actual test result of Ji Xun is that his extraordinary perception has obvious bonus, and bottlenecks are easier to break through.

For example, the two high-ranking sequences [J] and [Q] are directly related to the royal power. The canonization with this secret book seems to be a more orthodox way of advancement than practicing alone.

Ji Xun briefly explained the function of the secret book.

Qin Rushi listened in amazement, knowing his good intentions, and did not refuse: "Then let's go with 'Valkyrie'."

"Oh."

Ji Xunting casually wrote Qin Rushi's name and official title in the book.

The moment the name was recorded in the secret book, it seemed to trigger some kind of mysterious power of a high-level contract.

The name on the secret book glowed with dazzling golden light.

In an instant, Qin Rushi's aura visibly increased dramatically. She exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, this is amazing!"

She suddenly felt that the laws of the world in her eyes became much clearer.

Seeing this, Bai Qiu behind her looked even weirder: Is this guy really useful? Could he be the King Augustus of this generation?
"."

Ji Xun felt uncomfortable being stared at by those strange eyes. This book was originally only usable by the ninth day of the ninth month of the eighth ...

Moreover, there is no limit to the people that Ji Xun can enthrone, anyone can be a subject of Oran.

Then we have the current situation. Some key figures in the "Eastern Wilderness Alliance" are basically on the book. Not only is Katarina of the Alliance Army named the Moon Queen, but there is also the leader of the revolutionary army, the "anti-law" Long Yu, and so on.

Ji Xun came to the Southern Continent this time with the intention of conferring titles on cadres such as Gong Wu and Bonnie.

This kind of enthronement is two-way. The stronger the "Eastern Wilderness Alliance" is, the stronger the luck will be.

Fortunately, Bai Qiu didn't look at Ji Xun for long. Instead, he glanced at Qin Rushi, whose luck was rising rapidly, with a complex and emotional look in his eyes.

You must know that once the immortals sign a companion contract with the contract master, they will prosper together and suffer together.

Now that Qin Rushi has been blessed by the dynasty's fortune, this is also a great opportunity for it.

As he was thinking about it, Bai Qiu's shadow completely disappeared.

Of course Ji Xun knew that Bai Qiu had actually been protecting Qin Rushi. After all, an old friend suddenly showed up and was promoted two levels. It was inevitable that he would suspect that he was possessed by an evil spirit or distorted.

Now I can finally put my mind at ease.

Seeing Bai Qiu's shadow disappear, Ji Xun was no longer polite.

The two haven't seen each other for a long time, and a happy occasion is always the best way to express their passionate emotions.

Qin Rushi looked at the hand that had already reached into her clothes and was kneading her, but she didn't think it was bad. She just smiled and said jokingly: "By the way, how is your witch distortion? It seems that you are under control well?"

The moving eyes were obviously teasing something else, for example, the succubus secret technique always required the cooperation of others.

Ji Xun played with the soft touch that he hadn't touched for a long time, and said seriously: "I know why Emperor Lanlingster chose the forbidden witch path. I can touch the power of rules, and there is another very important thing, which is 'supernatural compatibility balance'."

"uh-huh?"

Qin Rushi's beautiful eyes flickered at these words. It sounded like a serious matter?
But that pair of hands was not very decent.

While speaking, Qin Rushi rolled her eyes at Ji Xun beside her, but also cooperated with his movements and slightly turned sideways to make it easier for this guy to put his hands in his collar.

The tent was suddenly filled with the beauty of spring.

The exquisite and plump ones are always hard to put down.

Ji Xun said at the same time: "Yes. I have seen the fragments of the witch Lanlingster's consciousness and learned some secrets of the God level."

As he spoke, he explained in detail what he knew and what he had realized in recent times.

Qin Rushi listened to him speaking seriously and recklessly, with a faint smile of tacit approval on the corner of her mouth.

Practice has proved that

Joy is actually a practical manifestation of an extraordinary balance of compatibility.

The higher the rank of the transcendent, the clearer the feeling of energy fusion and complementarity.

Qin Rushi's current rank can already understand part of the divine power that can only be touched by the peak ninth rank. The succubus secret technique makes this kind of physical communication collective. Moreover, she is the heir of the Bai family and is proficient in some secret techniques of spiritual communication.

She and Ji Xun had used this method of physical and spiritual fusion to discuss many extraordinary topics that could not be accurately described in words.

Not long after, when her feelings were at their peak, she clearly felt what Ji Xun meant by the extraordinary balance of affinity, and said in surprise: "Hey, I seem to feel what you meant by the power of rules!"

In the misty clouds and rain, Qin Ru had a very strange feeling.

She seemed to be vaguely resonating with Ji Xun's spiritual frequency, and a feeling of overlooking the scenery from a high place instantly came over her, which made her clearly see the bottleneck of her realm.

Originally, I was not sure how long I would have to practice hard in the holy realm before I could break through. It might take several years, or even a lifetime.

However, she never expected that the sudden feeling of enlightenment during the hot fusion just now allowed her to see it clearly.

Only then did Qin Rushi realize how much benefit the previous enthronement and current communication had brought her.

However, the thought flashed through her mind, and confusion remained in those beautiful eyes.

Never mind, I’ll think about cultivation later.

For now, enjoy this wonderful time.

In the tent, spring is romantic.

The next day, early in the morning.

There are dragon eagles circling in the sky all the time. They are the scouts of the Lord of Silver Wind City.

Most of the hundreds of thousands of insurgents did not know that three guests had come to the camp yesterday, but they heard rumors that the logistics team transporting military rations had been ambushed.

Originally, this kind of news would cause panic among the people, but unexpectedly, hot meat porridge was cooked on the campfire in the camp early in the morning.

A large amount of food piled up in the quartermaster's office, to the point where every soldier had to carry several days' worth of dry rations in order to move the rations for the new reinforcements.

The rumor that the army was short of food was easily dispelled.

Beside the campfire, Ji Xun, Qin Rushi, Gong Wu, and cadres of the revolutionary army sat together to eat breakfast.

Everyone had an expression of anticipation and excitement on their faces.

Ji Xun's arrival not only solved the problem of military rations shortage, but also made it possible for Yinfeng City to be breached.

After a fight yesterday, Darcy, Isabel and David have become familiar with each other and were discussing and learning from each other while eating.

Ji Xunqin and a group of cadres were eating and chatting about the war situation.

With enough military rations, they are not panicking at all.

Whether to attack, defend, or bypass, they can now choose calmly.

"The enemy will see that we have enough food and will probably try to stir up trouble."

"Hehe, I'm just worried that they'll hide in Silver Wind City and not show their heads. If they really dare to come out, I'll destroy that legendary 'Dragon Eagle Legion'!"

"Sam, Lord Silver Wind is a veteran military noble. He is not stupid enough to give up his natural advantage and confront us head-on. I think he will mainly harass our logistics troops. But we are not short of food now, so we are not afraid of his harassment."

"."

Ji Xun was thinking while drinking meat porridge.

He had discussed the situation in detail with Qin Rushi last night, and he also felt that the enemy would definitely take the initiative to cause trouble.

The rebels are not short of food now. As long as they don't choose to take a detour, they will definitely choose to pass through the underground cave or Silver Wind City.

Moreover, Ji Xun guessed that there was most likely an outer god behind the Lord of Silver Wind City, so he would not only block their way, but would also definitely not watch their rebel army grow stronger.

In this case, a fierce battle is inevitable.

Under normal circumstances, Silver Wind City should just wait and see, while those who are in a hurry to pass by are the rebels.

If they really had to fight on the cliffs of the abyss, Silver Wind City would have an absolute geographical advantage.

So the cadres were all thinking about how to control the war losses as much as possible.

However, Ji Xun was wondering whether it was possible to lure and kill the Silver Wind Lord.

Under normal circumstances, Ji Xun felt that the Lord of Silver Wind City would not be stupid enough to go out of the city to fight.

However, I didn't expect the accident to come so suddenly.

Before everyone finished their breakfast, the messenger came running over in a hurry: "Chief, there is new news from the spies on the front line!"

Qin Rushi took the letter with the magic seal, cut it open and took a look. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The Crypt Lizard Tribe just sent a message saying that they want to discuss the conditions for borrowing the passage."

what?
Everyone was delighted when they heard this. If the dragon lizards in the underground cave allowed them to pass through, it would be much easier.

Qin said so, and glanced at the conditions at the end of the letter, and added: "But they have a request, saying that I, the leader, must go to the crypt in person to talk to them."

Asking the leader to negotiate is not uncommon in war.

However, as soon as these words were spoken, the cadres immediately went wild.

"Chief, those lizards may have bad intentions."

"Yeah. You didn't agree yesterday, but today you agreed to talk. I'm afraid you have bad intentions."

"I think it might be a decapitation tactic. Those lizardmen may have secretly established contact with Silver Wind City. Leader, I think you should not take any risks."

"Yes. If you can't get it by force, you can't get it at the negotiation table. I think we should force our way through. If the lizards dare to stop us, we can just..."

"No, the risk of doing so is no less than attacking Silver Wind City. Not to mention that the underground structure of the Duoken Mountains is extremely complex, and it is impossible to pass through without a guide from the Lizard Tribe. In addition, the Lizard Tribe is a group that is good at magic and is quite powerful. Moreover, once we have a conflict with the Lizard Tribe, those guys from Silver Wind City will definitely take advantage of the chaos to attack us. This matter must be considered carefully."

"."

Qin Rushi listened to everyone's discussion and did not make a decision in a hurry.

Instead, he handed the letter to Ji Xun beside him and asked, "What do you think?"

Ji Xun glanced at the letter, his expression unchanged, and said casually: "Then let's go."

He has already deduced countless possibilities in his mind.

Those burrow lizards definitely have bad intentions.

However, this is actually a good entry point.

Whether the Lizard Tribe was really prepared to give way or join forces with Silver Wind City to prepare for an ambush, Ji Xun felt that it was a breakthrough in the current deadlock.

After all, in order to ambush Qin Rushi, the leader of the rebel army, not to mention the return of the ninth-rank "Earl of Iron Feathers" Sean Cumberland, at least some top-level strongmen will be needed.

Since Ji Xun didn't come, we have to be cautious about this negotiation invitation.

But it was different when he came.

Although Ji Xun’s current strength was not certain whether he could defeat the Silver Wind Lord, it was almost impossible for a ninth-level dragonborn to kill him.
