Terra Martial God and Merit System

The newspaper he read was Kamsko's Morning News.

After all, Luo Chen didn't reply to his message, and Fyodor had no other way to deal with it. So he could only think of other ways to understand Luo Chen.

After some twists and turns, he finally got the Kamsco newspaper.

However, due to the long distance, the newspaper was mostly outdated. But even so, Fyodor still read it with great interest.

【Morning News】The layout is very simple, the article structure is clear, and it is very easy to read. And all of them are related to some real life news.

Fyodor, who has lived in the palace for a long time, has little contact with the grassroots of the country. Through this newspaper, Fyodor is learning things that he did not know before.

Now, he is reading a special section of Morning News - 'Happy Corner'.

As the name suggests, this page is full of jokes, most of which feature various nobles.

Fyodor had been fighting against the nobles ever since he came to power, so he quite liked such jokes that made the nobles look bad.

But now....he saw a not-so-normal joke.

The gist of the joke is that Emperor Ursus had nothing to do one day, so he planned to go on a secret visit.

As a result, while wandering around, he heard an explosion coming from a family, so he was sure that the other party was carrying a bomb. It was a terrorist who intended to subvert Ursus. Then, under the command of the emperor, the whole family was killed. It turned out that they were just a family of Yan country immigrants making firecrackers.

Fyodor watched the story. He felt that the joke was not funny at all.

The emperor in this story is too timid and suspicious. Is such a person worthy of being an emperor?

This is a stigmatization of Emperor Ursus!

That's what he originally thought.

But if you think about it carefully, this newspaper is from the territory of the Iron-blooded Royalist Luo Chen. How could it possibly contain content that stigmatizes the emperor?

Fyodor thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what was so funny about it. And there was no "funny analysis" in the newspaper.

Unless...a possibility flashed through his mind.

Luo Chen...isn't he a royalist?

No, absolutely impossible!

This conjecture was too terrifying, so Fyodor immediately dismissed it.

"Luo Chen has obviously followed my instructions and is not messing around. This shows that my letter is still useful..."

"He's a traitor or something....How is that possible?"

“Maybe it’s my own problem…”

Just as he was staring at the newspaper in a daze, there was a knock on the study door.

Gilberto rushed in and shouted in fear - "Oh no! Kamsko has started a civil war!"

Chapter 177: Strength

"Civil war?" Fyodor was stunned. "What did you say?"

"Kamsco's army has already moved out, and they are preparing to attack other mobile cities around them," Gilberto said quickly.

"What's the reason?"

"Loyal to the king!" Gilberto replied, "Your Majesty has bad people around him, and their minions are all over Ursus. Kamsko said they will eliminate these minions and restore a clean and tidy atmosphere to Ursus."

"I didn't tell him to do that!" Fyodor yelled. "I told him to be quiet! Stop making trouble!"

"Your Majesty..." Gilberto swallowed, "Did Count Rochen misunderstand something in your letter? This may be the reason why he did not reply..."

"How should I know?" Fyodor said unhappily.

Luo Chen started the war in this way. He could already imagine what kind of madness the nobles of Saint Jun Castle would go.

Luo Chen had sufficient reasons to start the war. First, Saratov was the first to launch the invasion. Second, they did not expand and only attacked Saratov. And they also gave sufficient evidence that these people were traitors.

Now....what was his reasoning?

King Qin?

He is a diligent king!

Fyodor was already worried about whether a coup would break out. After all, the nobles below were all very timid. If they realized that the emperor had such crazy subordinates and a considerable military force, who knows what terrible things might happen.

When he thought of this...Fyodor felt a chill on his back.

Politics is all about balance.

Kamsko's broadcast had disturbed the balance before, and Fyodor had spent a lot of effort to calm it down, but Luo Chen did this...

The balance has not just been disturbed, but directly destroyed!

Whether Luo Chen wins or not, he as the emperor will face a very dangerous situation.

At this time, there were footsteps outside the door again.

New news has been confirmed——

'The Imperial Parliament convened a meeting of the highest level temporarily, and Fyodor, as the emperor, must appear in person'

"Damn it!" Fyodor cursed inwardly, "Find a way to contact Grand Duke Koschei's people. This time we can only do our best..."

...........

The political storm in Saint Jun Castle is about to begin again.

The emperor was not the only one who learned that Kamsko had sent troops.

Another person who paid special attention to Kamsiko's news also learned this information soon.

Duchy of Kosice.

Kosice looked through the document sent by Kamsko and nodded slightly.

"As expected. Still tastes the same." He nodded with great satisfaction.

"Tallulah is worthy of my teaching. She started another war in just one month."

"It seems that she understands my essence....War is the key to making a country strong."

"Hmph... Kamsko, which controls Saratov, already has a complete heavy industry line. And according to the news in the newspaper, they have already completed the integration of these resources."

"These nobles...are just a bunch of losers. I'm afraid they are no match for Tallulah."

Kosice saw all of this very clearly.

He understood what kind of people these nobles were. Even if they were temporarily united because of the crisis, they were still weak.

Without a strong enough leader, they would never be able to fight against Tallulah!

Kamsko will tear all enemies apart completely. Let Ursus witness the rise of a new ruler!

In this case...

"Increase the strength of Tallulah." Kosice laughed grimly, "This world is very dark... Since you choose not to inherit everything from me and start from scratch, then I will prove your ability..."

"Someone is coming——"

"Form a military expedition team to guide those foolish nobles!"

"I will tell Tallulah what the true art of war is!"

.............

"Ah..." Tallulah yawned.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Luo Chen asked.

"No... I just don't know why." Tallulah rubbed her eyes, "We are almost reaching the first city."

"You didn't have to follow."

"Kamsco is stable for now. I will come here to stabilize the situation faster." Tallulah said, "You are not the only one working hard."

"Okay." Luo Chen looked into the distance. The outline of the city gradually appeared.

"First, our first objective....Has the attack begun?"

There were flames outside the city. Kamsko's army surrounded the city and began to attack.

The city's defense forces began to resist, and their awareness was obviously much stronger than the previous city defense forces. Several attempts to attack were all blocked.

Luo Chen stopped the car and got out.

He was very familiar with the commander of this army, Hamblin, who was now a major.

"How's the battle going?" Luo Chen asked casually.

"The enemy's fighting spirit and tactics are not those of the poorly trained city defense forces before." Hamblin said, "In fact, we have already concluded that they are mercenaries."

"The nobles of this city must have spent a lot of money to organize mercenaries to help them defend. The organization and discipline of these mercenaries are not bad."

"Of course—we have ways to get around this."

Hamblin explained his plan to Luo Chen:

These mercenaries were hired in the form of mercenary groups, with each group guarding a different location.

Hamblin's approach is to put pressure on both sides at the same time. Although these mercenary groups are the same employer, they will not help each other unconditionally. This will cause a gap.

"So, Lord City Lord...we will be able to complete the siege mission soon."

After Hamblin finished speaking, he looked at Luo Chen anxiously.

Although Luo Chen's help would be a good thing for the siege, the three armies did not want Luo Chen to help them first.

After all, if Luo Chen helps, doesn’t it mean that they are not capable enough?

It is human nature to be competitive, not to mention that this is the military.

Even if Luo Chen came now, Hamblin didn't want Luo Chen to take action. He was very clear about the power of Luo Chen's attack...then they would really be on a picnic.

"Okay." Luo Chen understood what the other person was thinking, and he nodded casually. "Then let me take a look."

"You have fulfilled your mission!" Hamblin saluted.

Kamsko then continued his siege of the city, but his attacks were mainly aimed at killing and wounding the enemy rather than capturing the city walls.

The mercenaries defending the city walls immediately requested for reinforcements after realizing their personnel losses. However, the nobles did not send experienced mercenaries, but the original city defense forces.

For the nobles, there is no difference between the two. They are both "manpower" anyway, so you can decide whether you want it or not.

But in actual war...these soldiers who extort money all day long will only cause trouble.

Although the number of defenders on the city wall seemed to remain the same, they were actually more vulnerable.

Hamblin's attacks were real and fake, constantly testing the opponent's bottom line. When he realized that the opponent was overwhelmed, he immediately launched a general attack.

The defenders did not hold out for long before they were completely defeated. Kamsik marched straight in and successfully took over the city.

Luo Chen did not go into the city, as there were plenty of people in the city to help him with things.

Lavinia has trained a group of legal personnel who will arrest and try people with the cooperation of the army.

Tallulah temporarily maintained order and calmed the crowd.

Luo Chen doesn't want to care about anything. He just lies there and watches the merits fall from the sky.

Luo Chen's system panel was refreshing rapidly, and results appeared not only for the current city but also for the other two cities in the first phase.

After the siege, they began to reap merits on behalf of Luo Chen.

Countless people died, and the entire western part of Ursus was flooded with blood. And all of this was due to Luo Chen.

"Great!" Luo Chen said with emotion, "This is the ultimate effect of my building a power..."

Chapter 178: War Can't Be Fought This Way

"Dead! All dead!!!"

"My money! My money!!!"

"Calm down, you need to calm down!!!"

"How can you expect me to calm down?! The territory is gone because of me going out. All I have left now is this damn title!"
