The officers looked up at the sky.
Qin Che, carrying the severed head, was leisurely strolling around, even humming a little tune.
"That's all. Old Qiu should be done with his work by now, right?"
Qin Che looked towards the direction of the main battlefield.
Old Qiu is too unfair to make him carry the heavy loads. The battle here is quite heavy, with hundreds of thousands of Iron Beast Clan troops crossing mountains and valleys.
It was truly a plan that no one could have come up with.
These guys clearly want to take a detour to raid the heart of the Central Plains and slap the Vatican in the backside.
Thank goodness, the other party probably doesn't know he's here too.
"I just didn't expect that the Iron Beast Clan would also have a Master. How come we've never seen one of this level before? Did it just awaken?"
Qin Che is on this battlefield in Hexi.
The Iron Beast Army has completely withdrawn its forces; hundreds of thousands of soldiers were almost wiped out. The Mechanical Army is pursuing them, searching for their tracks all over the mountains and plains.
It can be said that they suffered a crushing defeat.
Initially, the Pope personally approached Qin Che and proposed cooperation between the two parties.
In recent years, thanks to Qin Che's efforts, the Leopard Court, the Papacy, and the southern city-state alliance have gradually become a united front.
These things were all done in secret.
The Iron Beast Clan's spies found no clues, which is why they were caught off guard this time.
However, Qin Che also understood.
Sooner or later, the other party will find out that the Holy See has gained another Master to help them.
Two Masters have appeared in Shenzhou, which is completely unacceptable to the company.
They will definitely make another move later.
It was only after arriving in Zhongzhou that Qin Che understood the hardships here.
If the Holy See had not united all forces that could be united through faith, the Iron Beasts would have infiltrated from within long ago.
The company is financially powerful and can indeed offer many things to those who betray it.
As for the front lines...
"These power armors are really shoddy products, they're so bad. I thought they were something amazing."
Qin Che shook his head and threw the head he was holding onto the ground.
It wasn't until he took action himself that he realized the Iron Beast Army's military strength was actually quite average. Their strength lay in the countless clones of Units Zero through Ten, as well as the honeycomb structure and mainframe system that allowed the company headquarters to remotely command them at any time via brain-computer interfaces.
This warfare system will have an unimaginable exponential effect on the front lines.
The Pope, oh right, that is, old man Churchill, told him that this is the company's 'Honeycomb Project'.
A century of war.
If they could shut down Project Hive's mainframes now, the war would end sooner.
The company is planning a major transformation.
They have their own purposes and plans.
Aggression is plunder, including resources and energy.
If the Hive server is shut down, even if the company has the resources to restart it, it will take several years to redeploy the battlefield.
Furthermore, the energy they have accumulated over the years will be completely depleted.
This is also one of the reasons why Qin Che joined the Central Plains battlefield.
The Pope has wanted to shut down the company's Hive server for a long time.
But he was the only ruler on the land of China, and he had no choice but to stay in the Central Plains.
But now... things are different.
With Qin Che's help, the Pope can act more freely.
Otherwise, in the past, the Pope would not have easily stepped forward to confront Eddard head-on after a defeat on the main battlefield.
It was precisely because Qin Che was there to back him up that the Pope had such confidence.
"Hehe, before I came I thought the Pope was stern and deep-seated, but he's actually just a very kind old man."
Qin Che had been betrayed by the Holy See in the previous simulation.
But the one who betrayed him was not the Pope himself, but the powerful minister faction left over from the Central Continent Empire, including the powerful minister himself who had already achieved a long life.
They betrayed Qin Che.
Old Qiu had no choice.
The organizational structure of the sweeping army has now been perfectly integrated into the Papacy.
There are factions of sweeping forces within many of the army groups.
However, the two, one large and one small, must fight together when encountering the Iron Beast Army; neither can betray the other.
...
Qin Che strolled away, not returning to the command post, and teleported away amidst the admiring gazes of the officers.
He returned to the main city of the Papacy, the mechanical capital.
We await feedback and results from the main battlefield.
Before long, good news came back: Ed had been killed, the Pope had returned safely, and the army on the main battlefield was invincible, forcing the Iron Beasts back north of the river once again.
Both sides built fortifications along the river, and the two armies resumed their previous stalemate.
The Pope is already on his way back to the capital, and the front lines will continue to be defended by the soldiers.
Qin Che didn't come to Zhongzhou alone this time.
He also has a team under his command, the direct subordinates of Li Jiuyuan and Sand Rat. He can't establish a chamber of commerce in Zhongzhou without them.
"Your Highness."
"You're back!"
The gerbil remained very respectful to Qin Che.
Back in the palace the Vatican had prepared for him, Qin Che tossed his clothes to the grizzly man: "What's going on with the Kingdom of Ten Thousand?"
"Your Highness, Zhang Minglou has extended an invitation, saying he would like to invite you to a banquet tonight."
Zhang Minglou, Chief Director of the World Chamber of Commerce.
With him around, the World Chamber of Commerce has been able to maintain its current stability.
As for the Southern faction, like Yang Jinshu, their influence has gradually waned since Qin Che came to Zhongzhou.
They are no longer capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities.
Zhang Minglou himself made a painful decision against a group of people, and Qin Che personally came to Zhongzhou and subdued another group of people.
With the Leopard Court's strength greatly increased and the archaeological discoveries from the Icefield Battlefield yielding a considerable amount of technology, they now have sufficient leverage.
