Chapter 271:?Didn’t cost a single soldier! Takedown of the?Hun River Principality!

“The nobles are unwilling to cooperate, what should we do?”

In the Hun River Principality, in the headquarters of a Church, several high-ranked?members of the Church gathered together to discuss matters.

“We’ll take it at a high price.”

A young bishop suddenly spoke.

The other bishops looked at the young bishop.

The young bishop was encouraged and continued:

“For?10 silver coins per catty, regardless of whether the sorghum on the land of the nobles is mature or not, and how much it is, we will buy it for?800 catty per mu. After collecting it, these nobles should be willing to grow food.”

“That’s a good idea, but we’re going to have to spend a lot of our gold coins.”

Immediately, another bishop applauded.

“Alright, then let’s do it!”

The Archbishop finally made a decision.

Soon, within the Church’s territory, a large number of Church members began to buy sorghum from the nobles.

It was not a real acquisition.

As long as the nobles were willing to plant food, they would be given gold coins based on the output of 800 catty?per mu. The sorcerers, who were about to mature, would be dragged away by the Church. They could even be sold to the Xi Ling Kingdom. Those that were not mature would be directly plucked and planted with food.

When the people of the Church were polite and emotional, the key was to take out the gold coins. The nobles of the Church finally harvested the sorghum as quickly as possible and planted the grain.

It was impossible to say that some of these nobles had not sensed the danger. It was just that these nobles felt that they still had a lot of food left. In addition, the battle of faith was going to start, and it would not take their lives. It was just a change of church, so their days might be better.

That was why these nobles did not cooperate.

Well, Meng Ying’s original plan had one of the greatest benefits. Even she didn’t realize it.

That was the situation in the Xi Ling Kingdom. It was transmitted through the nobles of the Xi Ling Kingdom, making the nobles and civilians of the Hun River Principality envious.

Under such circumstances of envy, the nobles and commoners of the Hun River Principality hoped to become the Holy Flame Kingdom just like the Xi Ling Kingdom.

After all, the Xi Ling Kingdom was not the kingdom of the Lord of Flame.

However, after becoming the Lord of Flame, the situation in the entire Xi Ling Kingdom had improved countless times.

The people of the Hun River Principality couldn’t envy?them.

This was especially true for the commoners. They were all envious of the ten acres of land, and the Divine?Beans could be taken, and they only had to pay one-tenth of the tax. If it was their turn, they would laugh in their dreams.

This was what Meng Ying hadn’t expected when she started the economic war against the Hun River Principality. It was an unexpected gain.

……

After the members of the Church did this, the other four members of the Church immediately adopted this method.

Although they had spent a lot of gold coins, half of the land in the Hun River Principality was planted with food.

“Send out all the magisters to speed up the growth. This way, it will only take a month at most, and the grain will be harvested on a large scale.”

The five great churches gave orders.

Normally, the natural growth of grain would be taken into account. Normally, even if the grain were to grow, it would take two to three months for the grain to mature.

It would take even longer. After all, there weren’t that many magisters, and magisters would have to rest and sacrifice some time.

But now, he could only use an even more intense method of urging him to grow.

Just as the upper echelons of the five Great Churches were rejoicing over the replanting of food in the land, bad news came.

The army of Xi Ling Kingdom moved!

More than half a million troops arrived at the border between the Xi Ling Kingdom and the Hun River Principality. They were?ready to attack the Hun River Principality at any time.

This time, the five Great Churches of the Hun River Principality became anxious.

The five?Churches no longer cared about the matter of urging the elders. They all recalled the magisters who had been sent to urge the elders and then issued a call-up order through the largest nobles in their respective regions.

That?was?right when these five great churches encountered foreign enemies, they were all?united.

A large number of troops were armed, and a large number of magisters were recruited.

As for the grain in the field, who cared about them?

Without the Magister’s urging, the food wouldn’t have matured in a few months.

Of the five churches, every one of them had summoned around 150,000 troops, while the Church that controlled the Royal Family had summoned 200,000.

They formed an army of over 800,000 people.

However, a new problem immediately emerged. After the army was assembled, the 800,000 troops had consumed a lot of food in a day. The nobles still had to supply the food for their conscripts. They had already used up a lot of food, and now they had to supply the army, so they were secretly complaining.

Then, something even more terrifying happened.

The citizens of the Hun River Principality were running out of food.

These civilians didn’t have?much food to store. In the past, they mostly bought food in the hands of the nobles. In recent months, these civilians had made a lot of money, but a month ago, after Luo Ying reduced the supply of Divine?Beans, this was the reason that?the civilians?had not?much food left.

Now, they had money in their hands, but when the entire Hun River Principality?lacked food, these civilians could not buy food.

Why would nobles sell it?!

They had?a lot of food, but the problem was that when the war arrived, their newly grown food would take a few months to harvest, and their food still needed to supply the troops they recruited. How could they be willing to sell their food?

These civilians could not buy food, and even their survival was a problem. They could only go to the Church in groups.

How could the Church’s stock satisfy these civilians? Moreover, the Church had to store some food for the army!

The world was huge, and food and clothing were the most.

If a person didn’t even have food to eat, what would he do?

Most importantly, the nobles did not sell their food!

Under such circumstances, just on the third day after the army of the Xi Ling Kingdom arrived at the border; the Hun River Principality?had launched several civilian riots.

Thousands of civilians joined forces and robbed the nobles. The noble’s granary was completely robbed.

On the fourth day, the scale of the riots grew larger and larger, and nobles were being robbed everywhere.

Even the Church’s granary was robbed!

On the fifth day, the?nobles secretly recalled their?army and saved their?granary.

On the sixth day, more and more nobles recalled their troops. There was no other way. Seeing other nobles being robbed, these nobles did not want to become one of them.

And under the circumstances where everyone was doing this, the Church could not stop it. Even the Church was being robbed one after another.

There were even bold civilians who formed hundreds of thousands of people to rob the granary of the Royal Family.

Although the Royal Family still had a lot of guards, these guards could not have killed hundreds of thousands of people.

Therefore, several of the Royal granaries were robbed!

The Royal Family had no choice but to send some troops back to guard the other barns, otherwise, their army would be short of food!

This was the greatest power of Meng Ying’s plan!

The entire Hun River Principality had fallen into civil strife.

However, the Church had no choice but to fight against the Xi Ling Kingdom.

However, there were more and more noble armies and even the Temple Knights could not watch.

Because whenever the Temple Knights prepared to intercept, the troops of the Xi Ling Kingdom would move, and then they would have to return. Whenever they prepared to intercept, the troops of the Xi Ling Kingdom would move, and the Temple Knights would have to return.

On the eighth day, Meng Ying waved her hand and the army of the Xi Ling Kingdom officially entered.

“I don’t know how many of them are left.”

In the past few days, Meng Ying had seen the situation over there.

Although with the strength of the two legends, they could easily crush it, they could not waste much time anyway, and this plan was made by Meng Ying, so Meng Ying naturally wanted to see the ultimate power of this plan.

“I estimate there are still three hundred thousand left.”

Next to her, Princess Luo Ying said casually.

“I guess there are still 200,000 left.”

This was the Fox Lady Qing Ling.

“No matter what, there are still hundreds of thousands.”

This was the Eldest Princess.

This battle was probably their easiest one.

Everyone was very relaxed. They just wanted to verify the power of the project.

Half a million troops marched forward. On the other hand, a large number of spies had reported the situation back to the Hun River Principality.

At?the end, when the army of the Xi Ling Kingdom arrived on the battlefield, they finally saw how many people remained in the Hun River Principality.

That was……

Not more than 100,000 people!

There were approximately 40,000 members of the Church, 40,000 members of the royal army, and 10,000 members of the noble army.

In other words, this army of more than 800,000 and the other 700,000 had all left.

For some reason, even the Royal Army had withdrawn more than half of its troops.

Among the army of less than a hundred thousand, there were only four?seventh-ranked?and ten?sixth-ranked?magisters.

Their gods did not even send down the Holy Spirit.

The gods of the first rank were much weaker than those of the second rank. Their gods probably knew the consequences of the Holy Spirit descending from the Xi Ling Kingdom and the Horton Kingdom. How could they dare to descend the Holy Spirit?

They didn’t dare to lower their Divine?incarnations.

Subdue God’s?incarnation. The Divine?incarnation of the Horton Kingdom was the best outcome.

Originally, they were counting on the army they recruited to fight back.

But when the enemy arrived on the battlefield, their army had less than 100,000 people left!

In the Heavenly Realm, those five gods probably wanted to cry!

The ones who wanted to cry even more were the archbishops of the Church.

The five Archbishops looked at each other.

“We surrender!”

The five Archbishops cried.

Originally, their?strength was not as good as their?opponent’s. How could they fight against such a small number of people?

“We can bring the Church’s people away from the Hun River Principality for good. We can go to some wild Kingdoms?to the south of the Eternal Night Empire to spread the glory of our God. We will never return, let alone come back to cause trouble. I hope you can let us go!”

The five Archbishops said.

This was probably a compromise between the five archbishops and the five gods behind them.

This was the plan they had to choose.

It was better than nothing!

After the Fox Lady Qing Ling?prayed, she nodded at Meng Ying.

Meng Ying agreed.

As a result, the entire Hun River Principality was easily absorbed into the kingdom of the Lord of Flame!
