"Wow, there are so many people here in Port Omos!" Paimon flew around beside Ying, looking left and right.
“It can be seen that the little auspicious grass king is still very popular in people’s hearts. After all, he is the legitimate successor of Xumi.” Ying smiled as he looked at the cheering people around him.
"Huh? Is it my illusion? Why do I seem to have seen Amber?" Paimon rubbed his eyes. He seemed to have seen the unique rabbit ear scarf just now.
"Amber? Where is she?" Cole stood up instantly and looked around.
"Cole, calm down! Wait until the welcome ceremony is over before going to find them. I think I saw Noel too." Ying pulled Cole and asked her to sit down.
"Oh." Cole sat down again embarrassedly.
"I always feel like it's going a bit too smoothly." Paimon flew in front of Ying and complained.
"Wouldn't it be good if it went smoothly?" Ying asked back.
"Ying, according to the plots in those light novels, someone will definitely come to attack the float, right? Think about how many secret agents the Ministry of Education has deployed before? Now Nashida is in the car at the back, with only Seno and a few ordinary people as guards.
If a dozen masked men in black jump out to assassinate her, it will cause chaos. There are so many people here that we won't be able to catch them. The welcome ceremony will be ruined." Paimon put his hands on his hips to show that he had seen through everything.
"Hmm... that seems to make some sense. The House of Lords will certainly not sit idly by and watch Nashida build her faith and reputation. It's just that there are so many people here right now, so we can only wait and see." Ying also considered the possibility of Nashida being attacked.
When Cole and Nilu heard Paimon's words, they couldn't help but suppress their joy and began to check on the people around them.
Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from the east of Omos Harbor, spanning the entire river and instantly reaching Nashida's float. It was then blocked by the green shield.
The beam of light dissipated, and Nashida was unharmed. Ying and her group hurried to the float to guard against other unknown attacks.
Everyone saw the anger on the little auspicious grass king's face.
"They are getting more and more outrageous. Well, the eastern part of Port Ormos should be given to me today as a gift for my official coming to power." Nashida's eyes glowed green.
Nashida clasped her hands together, and a huge amount of grass elemental power was released. A seventy-meter-tall giant appeared in the middle of the river. He slapped the sentry that shot out the light beam, and a large amount of blood flowed out from the smashed wreckage of the sentry.
In the northern area of the eastern part of Ormos Port, there appeared a "wall" that was hundreds of kilometers long and forty meters high, surrounding the eastern part of Ormos Port. If someone tried to climb the wall, countless branches would extend from the wall to tie them up, and the more they resisted, the tighter they would be tied.
This wall cut off all the exits from the eastern part of the port of Ormos, making it impossible for people to escape. Countless people from the Order of the Lord sat on the ground. This miracle meant that they were trapped in a jar and could only wait for the coming of divine punishment.
Some smart members of the Order of the Holy Order quickly took all their belongings and jumped into the river to swim upstream. The only place to escape was the river. But the people on King Xiao Jixiang's side also acted quickly, and soon the river and the seaside were also blocked.
After the welcoming ceremony, the little auspicious grass king moved into the newly built "Grass Palace" arranged by Dolly. Elhaisen, Senor, Tinari and others were arranged to take over the eastern part of Omos Port.
The news that King Xiao Jixiang Grass had forcefully taken back the eastern part of Omos Port was spread instantly.
People then discovered that the little auspicious grass king was not without the ability to fight. The hundreds of kilometers long city wall and the nearly 100-meter-tall wooden man meant that she was not weak at all.
After receiving the news, countless families and scholars in Xumi began to think about the issue of taking sides overnight.
The war between the demons and gods has restarted, and one of the two gods of Xumi will inevitably fall. The reckoning after the fall of the gods will probably determine the future of countless people.
Soon, the Ministry of Education also received news that the Little King of the Grass had forcefully taken back the eastern part of Omos Harbor. The strength she displayed made the people in the Ministry of Education feel uneasy.
In the evening, Ying and his group gathered in the Grass God Palace.
The people of the Little Auspicious Grass King sect showed less contempt and more respect when facing Nashida. For Nashida, this was something she had to do to establish her own prestige, otherwise, people's hearts would easily fall apart.
"This morning, the figure of the God of Righteousness appeared in the sky above xx village and xx village near the Institute of the Church, and countless people knelt down to worship him. After the informant found out, the God of Righteousness patrolled his territory almost every day." Dolly reported the latest intelligence in advance.
"Due to the ban on mobile phone communications within the control of the House of Lords, many people still don't know the latest situation. The scattered soldiers should be collecting faith, right?" asked Falushan.
"Well, he is indeed collecting faith. We can't let him continue, or his power will become stronger and stronger," said Nashida.
"Strange, Nashida, based on the strength you showed today, you should be able to compete with the scattered soldiers, right? How about we find a chance to get him out and find a place to get rid of him?" Paimon asked doubtfully.
"Did you see the speed of my wooden man? Ying, can you avoid such an attack?" Nashida looked at Ying.
"It's easy to avoid such a slow attack. Even if it attacks for three days and three nights, it won't cause any harm to me." Ying looked at Nashida's eyes and knew that she wanted to tell everyone the reason, so she didn't choose to be polite.
"Yes, plus the God of Righteousness can fly, so I can't do anything to him, and he can't do anything to me. This is the current situation, and even in terms of strength, I am still at a disadvantage.
Therefore, in the next period of time, I need to gather people's faith and improve my strength. In other words, this is a battle for faith. Whoever can gain more than 90% of the faith of the people of Xumi will be the winner. "Nasida said.
"Ninety percent? Isn't that too difficult? Sixty to seventy percent should be about right?" Paimeng said in surprise.
"No, it has to be 90%. Faith is like muddy water. If it is not completely still and the mud and water are not separated, if people use tricks to change their faith, for example, if people change sides at the last minute and lose 30% of their faith, the consequences will be disastrous."
"That's right. If we lose 30% of 90% of the faith, we still have 60%. If we lose 30% of 70%, then I do the math...it's 60% to 40%." Paimeng understood the reason instantly.
"Dolly, the ocean freighter from Liyue will arrive tonight, right?"
"Yes. This is the purchase list." Dolly handed the list to Nashida.
“I bought a lot of supplies this time, but unfortunately the Liyue officials refused to sell Xianfu weapons and tanks. I only bought 80 pickup trucks and 100 crystal engines, and also used my connections to get some second-hand retired Xianfu equipment.
I bought 20 Wind Wings and some alchemical explosives in Mondstadt.
I purchased a batch of new medicinal herbs and medicines for bruises and knife injuries from Inazuma.
I have contacted Marcelle, the president of the Cabrière Chamber of Commerce in Fontaine. He is willing to sell us 30 guard agencies at a low price, equipped with complete combat equipment. "
"Wait? Fontaine's security system? Won't those things be unmovable once they leave Fontaine?" Nashida asked in surprise.
"That was originally the case, but there are also many smart people in Fontaine. They referred to Liyue's method of refueling with amber solution and equipped these mechanisms with storage devices for the properties of manganese and barrenness, with a maximum operating time of 20 minutes." Dolly replied.
"Oh? So you want to do a long-term deal. 20 minutes is enough to fight a small battle. Once the energy in these Manghuang storage devices is used up, you have to spend money to buy it from them. If the war drags on, the purchase amount will only get bigger and bigger." Nashida analyzed.
"Yes, it is very likely that the price quoted will be ridiculously expensive, but the combat effectiveness of those security agencies is not weak, and they may be able to play a role."
"According to the research reports of those scholars at the Void Terminal, these guards use the annihilation of two different energies, the Sharpness and the Desolation, when they meet to produce stronger energy. However, the energy supply of this mechanism is not stable and will show the characteristics of the Sharpness and the Desolation.
That is to say, if you want to use a large number of them, you must purchase one storage device for manganese and one for barrenness to activate these guards. Marcelle, the president of the Cabriere Chamber of Commerce, is really good at business. "Nashida recalled the information about these guards.
"Lord Little Auspicious Grass King, there is one more thing that needs to be dealt with." Dolly handed over three visiting cards. "The person in charge of the investigation of Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma is in Omos Port. They plan to visit tomorrow."
"Then let's meet them tomorrow afternoon." Nashida thought about it and decided on the time.
The meeting lasted until nine o'clock in the evening.
All the complicated networks of relationships and power made Nashida feel overwhelmed. She couldn't help but complain in her heart. When she was imprisoned before, there weren't so many things to deal with!
Chapter 362: Battle for the Magical Weapon
11 o'clock at night, inside the Grass Shrine.
"Lord Little Auspicious Grass King, we have already reached an agreement with the Liyue warehouse. We can go and collect the supplies in the container after 12 o'clock in the evening." Dolly reported the latest negotiation status.
Liyue's ocean-going freighter arrived at the Port of Ormos at 9:. There was a lot of cargo on board that needed to be loaded and unloaded. To avoid accidents, it was generally not open to the public at night.
"Well, thank you for your hard work. How's Charlotte doing?" Nashida asked.
"I have calmed her down. When this war is over, I will give her the evidence that the Cabriere Chamber of Commerce traded security agencies with us. She also understands our current disadvantageous situation and agrees."
"This is an internal matter of Fontaine, so we won't interfere too much." Nashida nodded, recalling Charlotte's shocked expression when she learned that the security agency had been sold.
"I've also learned that many Gilded Brigades that believe in the Red King are planning to evacuate the Port of Omos, including the Gilded Brigades that possess the canned knowledge of the gods. The original auction has also been cancelled. I heard that the desert has become a mess, and they want to go back to see if they can get a piece of the pie."
"Canned knowledge from the gods? Can I buy it with the current funds?"
"It is possible to get the deal, but the price they ask is too high, almost sky-high. And there are two God's Eyes guarding it, so it's not easy to deal with. We might end up walking into a trap." Dolly was a little hesitant.
"You mean they're planning to rob each other?" Nashida frowned.
"It's something that is likely to happen." Dolly replied.
"Take Seno to negotiate tomorrow, give them a 'reasonable' price, and then take back the God's canned knowledge." Nashida thought about it and made a decision.
"Yes."
"By the way, you should detain these six people in this Grass God Palace first." Nashida let the list float into Dolly's hands.
"Imprisoned? Could it be..." Dolly was shocked, then understood instantly.
the other side.
Five figures stood on a hillside, four of them knelt on one knee, waiting for orders. The eyes of God on their bodies emitted a little light under the moonlight.
Sanbing looked at the Liyue warehouse below, where a large number of containers were placed on the ground. In the distance, cranes were constantly moving containers off ocean-going cargo ships, and at the same time, many containers were placed nearby, waiting to be shipped.
"Sir, how about I burn this place down with fire? It will be fine as long as the little King of Auspicious Grass can't get the magic weapon for dream transmission, right?" said one of the Shogunate soldiers who had the Eye of the Fire Element God.
"What kind of trouble will it cause if we burn this place? Can't you think about it? The Kingdom of Zhidong is a good example. Especially if it gives Master Xuan an excuse to get involved, then I will definitely lose.
When the time comes, he will ask Tianling Fengxing for money to compensate for the losses here, and your family's head may kill you ten times and still not be satisfied. "The soldier shook his head.
"Um...I'm sorry." The shogunate soldier's face was suddenly covered with sweat.
"There is still a way to avoid causing widespread damage." The soldier took out a set of Qianyan Army equipment. "Although it is a replica, it is night now and they are unlikely to find the problem.
You guys go ahead and execute it... (The Skirmisher tells his plan.)
Remember, the Little Auspicious Grass King will definitely have some of the skills of the Great Kind Tree King. Don't think too much when executing it, just empty your mind."
"Understood!"*4
Four elite members of the Shogunate Army took replicas of the Chiyan Army's equipment and ran down the mountain.
The scattered soldier watched them leave and began to close his eyes to rest. In his mind, he missed the former chief of the military department, Niwa Hisahide. He couldn't help but clench his fists. Soon, he could get to the bottom of what happened back then, and even know where you went.
This generation of Tianling Fengxing actually dared to betray their mother and bet on both sides. They really don't know how to live or die. Now they are still useful, so I will use them first, and deal with them after the dust settles.
12pm late at night.
Nashida, Dolly, Seno, Ying and Paimon, led by the captain of the Qianyan army, got on the crystal cart and headed to the unloading area.
"This ocean-going freighter is amazing no matter when you look at it." Dolly exclaimed as she looked at the huge ship lying across the dock.
"Don't worry, we will have it in Xumi in the future," said Nashida.
“Lord Little Auspicious Grass King, please see if you can talk to Liyue and buy a few ships at a lower price. After all, our Xumi iron ore is very scarce.
If the price is dozens of times higher than that of Liyue, then the money that can be earned during its operating life will probably not even be able to cover the cost.
Liyue's ocean-going freighters have very cheap freight rates, so we don't have any advantage. The bulk of our operating costs: the amber solution comes from Liyue, so we can't even start a price war. Forcing production will only bring down Xumi like the Order of the Lords did."
"Well, operating costs are indeed a big problem. We have a lot of wood in Xumi, so I wonder if it would be possible to build an ocean-going freighter that burns wood."
The image of an ocean-going freighter belching black smoke emerged in everyone's mind. People passing by were turned black by the black smoke. They quickly shook their heads to get rid of the image.
They soon arrived at Liyue's container unloading area. The captain of the Qianyan Army who was driving the vehicle looked at the order number in his hand, and then led everyone to the red container with the number 2887 printed on it.
"This is the container. You can sign for it after confirming that the door lock and seal are intact. The recipient is Ying." Captain Qianyan handed over a document and a pen, waiting for Ying's signature.
"Okay, thank you." Ying looked at the door lock and seal, and after making sure there was no problem, he signed his name.
The door of the container was opened, and there was only a suitcase inside. Ying and Nashida looked at each other, and Nashida nodded slightly.
Ying walked in and took out the suitcase, then opened it under everyone's expectant gaze.
A magic weapon in the shape of a Bagua formation was placed in the center of the suitcase, and the magic spell for using the magic weapon was printed on the lid of the suitcase. Nashida gently picked up the magic weapon for dreaming, and according to the spell, she injected some power, and the immortal talisman hidden on the magic weapon for dreaming gradually appeared.
BOOM!
A huge explosion and flames lit up the sky, and everyone looked towards the place where the fire was coming out.
A Thousand Rocks soldier came running over.
"Oh no! Captain, the Gilded Brigade is attacking, and there are too many of them!"
"What? I'll be there right away!" The Qianyan Army captain ran towards the explosion, but he stopped before he took five steps. He turned around and shouted, "Oh no! It's a trick!!!"
The hand of this 'Qianyan Army' had already reached out to the bottom of the magic weapon. He condensed a large amount of wind elemental force in his hand and slapped it upwards. The magic weapon instantly flew high into the sky.
Ying kicked the ground and used the power of wind element to chase after the magic weapon.
However, something unexpected happened again.
A purple figure flashed through the air and landed on a container nearby. He held a magic weapon for dream transmission in his hand, pressed down his hat, and spoke to Nashida with a mocking face.
"I win, bye!"
The scattered soldier had no awareness of staying behind to fight as a villain. He instantly used the power of lightning element and turned into a flash of lightning and flew away into the distance.
"No! We can't let him take it away, chase him!!!" Nashida was shocked and angry. The magic weapon she had dreamt of was gone before she had even touched it for 20 seconds.
Ying and Senuo, who had just landed, simultaneously used lightning elemental power to chase in the direction where the scattered soldiers left.
When the fake Qianyan soldier saw that his mission was accomplished, he instantly turned into a wisp of breeze and fled.
The captain of the Qianyan Army who was here had the rock-attributed divine eye on his chest light up. He tightly grasped the spear in his hand, and his muscles bulged. The ground was cracked by the powerful force, and countless pieces of gravel floated up as if against gravity, with red light emanating from his eyes.
"Secret energy storage technique! Release! Impersonating the Qianyan Army is unforgivable! Don't even think about escaping!" The captain of the Qianyan Army burst out like a cannonball and chased in the direction of the fake Qianyan Army.
Dolly was shocked by what happened in this minute. Her mind was still in a mess and she hadn't even reacted yet. When she saw Nashida's ugly face, she suddenly realized that it might be difficult to get the dream magic weapon back.
Paimon also didn't react. He looked left and right with his mouth wide open.
"Let's catch up too!" Nashida clasped her hands together, and a 30-meter-tall wooden man rose from the ground, holding up the three people with her hands, and began to run quickly in the direction where the scattered soldiers left. However, the walking speed of this wooden man... compared to the speed of lightning, it is a bit hard to describe.
