Terra Martial God and Merit System

"Oh——" Lin Yuxia dragged out the tone, "You killed him, and then what?"

"Let's get back to the point. You can't keep killing people."

Lin Yuxia's expression was very serious. "At least those big businessmen who were invited to Camsco...can't you find a way to communicate with them peacefully?"

"I know you can do it... just like today..."

"Their hearts are much dirtier than this man's." Luo Chen pointed at the corpse on the ground, "So they will definitely die. Die in my hands..."

"I beg you." Lin Yuxia said after hesitating for a moment.

"No." Luo Chen refused decisively, "Trading with them will make my pure and innocent heart dirty..."

“…*Longmen swears*” Lin Yuxia cursed softly.

"Um... Minister Lin." Tallulah spoke up at this moment, and she asked tentatively - "Is the problem we are facing now the market?"

"That's right." Lin Yuxia let out a long sigh, "Kamsco has only about 300,000 people, and the market is too small. The products produced by our factory must be sold after all..."

"Those nobles have tried every means to trip us up. They might even take action against the merchants - that is our only means of conducting commercial activities."

"Is there no other way?"

"No. I've asked in all the cities around us." Lin Yuxia was a little discouraged. "Either they ignored me, or they just refused."

"Some new nobles in distant cities are willing to do so. But with such a long transportation distance, those who want to stop us can simply send people to rob our caravans."

"We have been isolated commercially by Ursus."

"This is true. Although those nobles may seem stupid, they did a great job in this matter."

"I already have a plan. Stop sighing." Luo Chen interrupted Lin Yuxia's words, "Since there is no market in Ursus, let's find a way to open up other markets."

"If the market is small, then find a way to make it bigger."

"Tallulah!" Luo Chen took out the film from the camera——"Publicize something for me..."

"The lord of Saratov, Count Naik, colluded with Casimir's spies and intended treason."

He pursed his lips, as if trying not to laugh.

"Everyone should punish this kind of behavior..."

Chapter 119 The Possibility of War

"Huh?" They both made the same sound at the same time.

"You...what did you say?" Lin Yuxia's words seemed to be disconnected - "You mean..."

"You know what I want to say." Luo Chen said.

"The market is small. Let's expand the market."

"Kill Naik and capture Saratov."

"Saratov is located in the western part of Ursus, close to the border. We were immediately connected to Casimir and Victoria."

“Cross-border trade is now possible…”

"I'm so smart." Luo Chen couldn't help but say.

"You're so smart! *Longmen swear*!" Lin Yuxia couldn't help but retort, "Don't you think the trouble is big enough? This is starting a civil war in Ursus!"

"Everyone will definitely be against you... Tallulah, don't you think so?" Lin Yuxia turned and looked at Tallulah.

"Well... I feel like Luo Chen must have his reasons for doing this..." Tallulah replied.

"Tallulah, how did you become like this?" Lin Yuxia said unconvincingly, "Starting a war is never a good thing, right?"

“Maybe there is another way to solve it…”

"No, I need to find everyone..."

Lin Yuxia stood up hurriedly, then stepped over the corpse on the ground and trotted out.

"Trouble..." Luo Chen frowned.

Lin Yuxia actually has a high reputation within Kamsco and has a good relationship with everyone else.

They are very peaceful in their dealings with others, which is consistent with other people's impression of the polite people of Yan.

"It's really worrying... Talulah, you go and do your thing first." Luo Chen said, "I'll talk to them."

Kamsko is the one who has the final say in Luochen, but of course he doesn't have to be.

Luo Chenxun thought further ahead. What he was thinking was...if he left this world, would Kamsike be able to survive without him?

Luo Chen didn't know if this situation was good or not, but it should be a good thing to let everyone keep their own ideas.

Therefore, Luo Chen never used any coercive means to force them to believe in him.

He just 'speaks with facts'.

The fact is, he did everything right.

As things happened, people's doubts about Luo Chen's actions also decreased. The one who changed the most was Tallulah, and Lin Yuxia also changed. But Luo Chen's plan for today...

She just couldn't understand it today.

"I've given so many lectures. Others should understand my approach..." Luo Chen thought, "I'll have to kill him sooner or later anyway. Killing him earlier will have its benefits, so why not do it?"

He walked slowly into the conference room, and sure enough, his senior officials were already gathered together.

Hellagur was frowning at the map, looking like he was having a hard time figuring out what to do.

Seeing Luo Chen coming in, he immediately looked up——"City Lord..."

The tone was somewhat helpless, but it contained an indescribable emotion.

Like...relieved?

Yes, it's a relief.

After attending the military exhibition, Hellagur has been confused, wondering why Luo Chen was so calm this time.

Now...he was relieved.

Sure enough, something big happened.

It is obviously more relaxing to know it directly than to make anxious guesses.

Although this matter sounds exaggerated and incomprehensible, the person who proposed it must be a lunatic.

But when he thought that this was said by Luo Chen, Herag was not surprised at all.

He even looked at the map and carefully thought about the consequences if a war broke out between the two sides.

The result... is acceptable.

Herag thought that even if Kamsko took the initiative to attack, he would have a 70% chance of succeeding in the frontal siege.

After listening to Luo Chen's class, Helag promoted a series of concepts such as "equality between officers and soldiers" in the military.

The process went smoothly, and even the previous city defense forces and the soldiers recruited by the Sixth Army all recognized these concepts.

Even in the process, Helag accepted many people's ideas and supplemented various theories.

Now, the Kamsk defenders knew exactly what they were fighting for.

In Helag's opinion, the Kamsk city defense forces are currently in high spirits and well-armed, and are fully capable of handling a war.

Even if the enemy is the Ursus regular army, they still have the confidence to fight.

Logically speaking, this kind of army would be 100% sure to win if it encounters a corrupt city defense force.

However, because it was an active attack and a siege, Herag conservatively estimated that the chance of winning was 70%.

With this thought, he became calmer.

Facing Luo Chen's appearance, he nodded slightly——

"I am sure of one thing..."

"We will win, without a doubt."

"This is my guarantee, and it is also the guarantee of the city defense forces."

"Of course, I will reserve my opinion on the necessity of this war."

"Uh... I don't care." Lavinia spread her hands. "Now I just improve the legal provisions every day. If a war really breaks out, I will do my best to help."

"I think..."

Everyone spoke in turn, but their positions were all neutral.

Lin Yuxia even thought that if Luo Chen gave the order, the war would really break out.

Thinking of this...she couldn't help herself.

She had no objection that Count Naik deserved to die.

After the war is won, perhaps Kamsko's commercial pressure can be relieved...

But...But...

Lin Yuxia always felt that all this was too radical.

We need to solve all these problems more prudently and carefully. Otherwise, we will be criticized and used as evidence.

Isn't that what the ancient books say?...

Build high walls, store up food, and slowly become king...

She couldn't help but refute Luo Chen, but he was very calm - "Don't worry... It's all in my plan, you just wait to take over their factory."

As the saying goes, the Yan people like to compromise.

If you insist on this, they will choose to change somewhere else.

Lin Yuxia found that she had no way to refute Luo Chen - the other party was unreasonable. So she could only settle for the next best thing -

"I need a complete plan. Whether it's the reasons for the outbreak of the war in the early stages or the aftermath of the war... we need to be fully prepared. We can't just do it on impulse!"

Her statement was recognized by many people.

Luo Chen also felt that it made sense, and he should make good use of it. However, if the plan was not done well, mistakes might lead to deduction of merit.

So everyone decided to wait until the plan was perfected before officially launching the crusade against Saratov.

Luo Chen naturally would not do anything to perfect the plan.

Saratov is a city with developed commerce and industry. So everyone agreed that Lin Yuxia should be responsible for formulating this plan.

Lin Yuxia didn't expect that she would take on such a big job. Although she knew that it was complicated to design a perfect plan, she had to do it after all. So she bit the bullet and agreed.

After this meeting, Kamsiko began to prepare intensively for the next war.

But what no one expected was that the outbreak of the war was not initiated by Kamsko, but was caused by a sudden incident.

Chapter 120 They are all living well

Count Naik waited in the city for a long time, waiting for good news from Jira.

He threw a lot of money into it this time, and he believed that it would definitely have a huge impact...

But Jira didn't show up, instead another team from Saint Steed Castle appeared.

[Imperial Investigation Team]

As the name suggests, this is a group from the Ursus Central, and its main job is to conduct investigations.

Inspect whether the nobles manage their territories well and whether the officials act recklessly.

Because of the occurrence of natural disasters, the inspection team system of Ursus was established a long time ago. And the rules and regulations are very careful.

However, no matter how well-thought-out the system is, it still becomes corrupt after such a long time.

After the death of the previous emperor, the new emperor ascended the throne.

At that time, the inspection team was full of "good-for-nothings" with big backgrounds and backers. Some even had royal backgrounds.

It was difficult for the emperor to ask them to leave because there were too many interests involved.
