Warhammer Fantasy: I Have Total War System

The human and the demon stared at each other for a few breaths, each gaining something.

Unlike the enemy.

In Total War, once you enter the battlefield, you can see all the attributes of both your own and the enemy's side.

But neutral factions and neutral units are different.

The lord's agent needs to observe the enemy army for several rounds, or perform agent actions such as "hinder marching", "kill agent", "hinder staff", and "steal technology" to gradually obtain intelligence about the enemy army.

The reason why the attribute panel of the [Nine-Tailed Fox - Administrative Officer] is currently full of question marks is because of this.

"In that case," Madam Liu said, turning her gaze away first, her smile undiminished, "Please follow me, Steward."

She waved her hand, and the Fengyun Guards behind her immediately split into two groups.

One group led Xing Ganqi and the others toward the side tent on the east side, while the other group followed behind Liu Shi, surrounding Li Lin in the middle, and headed toward the depths of the courtyard.

Li Lin appeared calm, but on the system map in front of him, two green dots were already waiting in the bamboo forest outside the manor gate, poised to strike.

Passing through the courtyard, we arrived at the white marble square in front of the Bronze Sparrow Tower.

The place is deserted, except for a single ginkgo tree with a canopy as wide as the clouds.

"Please wait here, Steward. The young master is currently handling official business. He will see you when he is finished."

After saying that, she turned to leave.

"Wait a minute," Li Lin called out to her.

"You, the Moon Maids, are you just going to leave your superiors standing around outside like this when you're entertaining them?"

Although we have left the desert, it is the height of summer. To the south and north are hilly depressions, and to the south are the fierce desert winds. The temperature is not much lower than in the desert.

The sun was high in the sky, the sunlight was scorching, and white smoke began to visibly rise from the bluestone floor.

"Look at what you're saying," Madam Liu smoothed a stray hair from her sideburns, her face still beaming with a bright and sincere smile. "Come, quickly arrange a place for the steward to stay."

One of the Fengyun Guards brought over a very low and small stool and placed it next to Li Lin's feet.

How low is that bench?

It probably only reached Li Lin's ankle.

Sitting on it is almost the same as squatting on it; it's more comfortable to just squat.

Liu looked at Li Lin with a smile, her eyes curving into crescents, as if anticipating whether the army commander would be dissatisfied, sarcastic, or even burst into a rage and force his way in.

But Li Lin merely glanced at the small stool, then at her, shook his head, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at the beautiful scenery throughout the manor.

Like an old man on a picnic, he paid no attention to women or difficulties, except for the scenery.

Making things difficult?

I was just looking for a reason to linger here any longer!

On the system map, the soldier card representing Yi Ge is slowly moving around the manor.

Li Lin gazed into the distance, partly to explore the layout of the manor through the system map, and partly to see what Yi Ge looked like in a skirt.

I don't know what's wrong with this female sorceress. She's very open about showing off her bare body after a bath, but she's extremely unwilling to wear a skirt.

The more unwilling she was, the more Li Lin wanted to see it.

Hey!

I'm a primary school boy!

"Yi Ge, where are you?" he transmitted his voice. "What color is your dress? There are too many people, I can't see you."

"......"

"By the way, I can see the ground myself, but you should try to explore inside the buildings as much as possible."

"Feed? Can you hear me?"

"..."

"Yi Ge, my dear sister~~"

"......"

Seeing that Li Lin had never taken her seriously, a cold flame surged in Liu's heart.

She left one of the Wind and Cloud Guards to watch over Li Lin at a short distance, and led the rest of the group into the Bronze Sparrow Tower.

"That filthy man, his heart is filthy and disgusting, yet he pretends to be a saint."

"Heh heh, just wait. The moment your ambitions are exposed will be your death day!"

She gave a cold laugh, stepped over the White Tiger, and disappeared into the deep, dark Bronze Sparrow Tower.

The white tiger, which was lazily resting, pretended to be fast asleep, but its slightly trembling body still betrayed its inner fear.

-----------------

Stepping into the smoke-filled Bronze Sparrow Tower.

Liu's steps were light, and wisps of smoke swirled around her skirt before dissipating.

She walked all the way to the back of the hall and witnessed Bai Muyan raising his hand to slap Wei Qiankun.

After this spirited woman, completely disoriented, clutched her wrist and walked out of the Bronze Sparrow Tower,

Liu, who had been hiding in the shadows, clapped her hands and came out.

"Tap tap!"

With a burst of applause, the five favored concubines, the female soldiers, and the palace maids and musicians playing the pipa around them froze, silently retreating into the shadows on either side.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, as if they had rehearsed it a thousand times; even their breathing rhythms were extremely similar.

"I'm exhausted."

Liu stretched, her waist curving into a soft arc, and then lay down on the brocade cushion next to Wei Qiankun, whose face showed slight displeasure.

He propped himself up on the couch with his elbows on the side, his head tilted to the side, like a cat that had just slipped from the sun back to the shade.

"After dealing with hypocrites for so long, my mouth is practically dry from talking so much." She said lazily, drawing out the last syllable.

Wei Qiankun immediately put down the ivory measuring ruler and put on a smile that resembled that of a junior flattering an elder or a waiter entertaining a distinguished guest.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Liu." He reached to his waist and a wine cup appeared out of thin air in his palm.

The wine vessel was small, made of smooth, white porcelain.

Liu sniffed the wine, revealing a greedy expression, and accepted the wine cup presented by Wei Qiankun with both hands.

The moment the cap was lifted, a strong aroma wafted out from the bottle opening.

First, the smell of strong liquor rises, followed by a heavy, cloying sweetness from blood and candied fruit mixed together.

The flavor was extremely strong. Madam Liu tilted her head back and drank it down in a big gulp. After only a few sips, she overpowered the ambergris aroma that had been lingering in the hall for years.

Liu drank very quickly, and a few drops of liquid trickled down the corners of her mouth and across her chin, but she didn't have time to wipe them away.

After her throat had churned several times and she couldn't shake out a single drop, she reluctantly put down the wine cup.

"You're not bad at charming people, that's all you've got." Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were dreamy, her figure was becoming more voluptuous and alluring, and her brown eyes had turned blood red like a hairpin.

Wei Qiankun's eager smile deepened even further.

"If Sister Liu is craving something sweet, I have some more here—"

"Just a quick soothing drink will do," Liu said lazily, glancing at the burly woman beside the table. "Otherwise, someone will point a sword at me again and warn me not to get carried away."

Upon hearing this, Wei Qiankun quickly turned around and respectfully greeted the burly woman, "Aunt Wei."

The woman who nearly crushed Bai Muyan's wrist silently stepped forward, her cold and ruthless gaze never leaving Liu Shi's face since Liu Shi entered the Bronze Sparrow Tower.

Wei Qiankun felt a little nervous.

This woman is named Wei Zhi, and she is his aunt, unlike his mother who married out of the family.

My aunt is a proper maidservant of the Moon Goddess, and she lives deep in the Moon Goddess Palace in Kunlan all year round.

When he first took the Dragon Palace out to practice, his mother went to great lengths to persuade her to come and protect him.

His mother only instructed him to be obedient in everything and never treat his aunt as a maid to be ordered around at will.

Wei Zhi was wearing cloth shoes, but the sound of her feet hitting the carpet was still loud.

The closer she got to him, the heavier the oppressive feeling in the air became.

Once his aunt had stopped standing, Wei Qiankun subtly concealed his trembling hands.

"Esteemed elders," he said, his obsequious smile fading and his expression turning utterly serious, "we have witnessed Li Lin's true character along the way."

"This person is mediocre in talent, cruel and vicious by nature. He uses the merits he earned in the Dragon Palace to form cliques in the military camp, yet he likes to call himself a commoner. He is extremely hypocritical."

Wei Zhi remained silent.

Liu leaned against the brocade cushion, playing with the ends of her hair, and did not reply.

"To be honest, I wouldn't normally give a second glance to someone like that," Wei Qiankun stood up, looking as if he were a loyal minister who was extremely indignant at a great villain, his expression extremely troubled. "But he just happened to offend the foundation of the Chinese nation and took what he shouldn't have taken."

"The successor that Li Suguang reported to the Dragon Court before his death was not this Li Lin, and the power of the Dragon Palace should not be in his hands!"

Why did the Dragon Palace appear in him, and why did it recognize him as its master? I don't know.

However, the Dragon Palace recognizes its master and the Dragon Pearl chooses its people, which must follow the will of the Dragon Court. Only the Dragon Court can judge who can properly utilize the power of the Dragon Palace, just as they chose me!

If this power falls into the hands of petty villains, it will be a catastrophe for the entire world! The rebel leader Han Cheng is the best proof of that!

He paused, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two elders' faces, trying to discern their thoughts.

But both of them were extremely shrewd and calculating, and he couldn't tell them apart at all.

"As the chosen one of the Dragon Emperor and a descendant of the chosen ones of the month, I naturally have the reason and obligation to reclaim the Dragon Palace that has been scattered abroad!"

He spoke with righteous indignation.

He then took out three jade talismans from his sleeve and gently placed them on the table.

"To strip the Dragon Palace, the one who bound it must be killed."

"That Li Lin is from the Li family of Nanli. Although I am unwilling to admit it, his small family is indeed one of the same families as my Wei family and Wei family, which were personally appointed by the Dragon Emperor."

"Killing him is no small matter. I dare not make the decision on my own. I need the two seniors to express their opinions."

He flipped over a jade talisman, with the side engraved with a crescent moon facing up.

"If you feel that this person is wicked and should not be allowed to live, please turn the jade talisman over."

"Only when the three of us are in agreement will I dare to take action. If even one of us disagrees, I will never mention this matter again!"

Liu yawned, extended a finger, and slowly fiddled with the jade talisman in front of her.

The crescent moon points to the sky.

Wei Qinkun looked at Wei Zhi, his fists clenched white behind his back.

He was determined to kill Li Lin.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be enough to avenge the humiliation my cousin suffered!

"I did hear Li Suguang say with my own ears that the position of Military Commissioner of Nanli is held by someone else." She spoke, her voice not loud, but each word carried the solidity unique to someone who had practiced martial arts.

Then she reached out and turned the last jade talisman over.

Three jade talismans, three crescent moons.

Wei Qiankun straightened up and looked at the ginkgo trees swaying in the sun-baked white stone square outside the Bronze Sparrow Tower, and the blurry figures under the trees.

"Since my two elder sisters are of one mind with me," his voice returned to its usual gentle tone, as if he were talking about a trivial matter, "then this matter will be easy to handle."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a burst of gunfire erupted outside the door.
