The mechanical capital, the Papacy.
The Pope stood by the window and saw the letter the enemy had written to Qin Che, and fell into deep thought.
"It seems they want to invite Leopard King to join forces with the company against us."
A pope stood before the old man, bowing his head to report the news he had just received.
"Who gave you this letter?"
"Gerberus, a subordinate of King Leopard's Court."
Old Man Qiu laughed and said, "He wanted us to know that the company's only enemy is the Mechanical Army, not the Leopard Court, but that kid didn't agree."
"Your Holiness, I'm afraid this is just a smokescreen..."
In the capital, the Vatican's eyes and ears are everywhere; this letter, and those merchants, will be discovered sooner or later.
Qin Che's initiative in handing the letter to the Pope may have been to reassure the Vatican, but secretly, he may have already joined forces with the company.
The pope believes this is something that must be guarded against.
Old Man Qiu handed the letter back to him: "It's alright, we don't need to be on guard. That kid knows what to do, and he's a hero on the Hexi battlefield, causing the Iron Beast Army to suffer a great defeat. We can't doubt him."
The Pope, who was standing to the side, sighed and bowed his head to accept the order.
After the Pope left, the Pope stood with his hands behind his back in front of the French windows, without saying a word.
Their mechanical army's enemy is the Iron Beast Army.
The Leopard Army's enemies... are those ghostly soldiers and generals from the icy plains...
If we want to get help from Leopard Court, the current balance should not be broken.
With Qin Che, their master, stationed in the capital, they can work together seamlessly on the front lines, supporting each other.
He just killed Ed.
The company might even send in an even more powerful clone.
This is what they should care about most.
Instead of distrusting each other.
The battle is about to be decided.
After so many years of fighting, the pressure on Central Continent is immense, and the pressure on the Papacy is even greater.
The Pope was well aware that the number of soldiers they could deploy to the front lines each year was decreasing.
Especially for elite soldiers, once they are all wiped out, it takes many years to train a new batch of soldiers.
Clones, on the other hand, are born warriors.
Before they are even produced, the Hive host has instilled knowledge and memories from all aspects into their minds.
These memories inherit the wisdom and experience of the former.
In contrast, the Iron Beast Army will become stronger and more courageous with each battle.
This was unavoidable.
"Looks like we should find that kid soon and come up with a plan..."
"The city-state and the Leopard Court need more people to replenish their troops and supplies."
...
Those businessmen were eventually arrested.
A gerbil came to report: "Your Highness, the identities of those merchants have been identified, and they are currently being held in the Vatican's dungeon awaiting their fate."
Qin Che hummed in agreement: "Did you give the letter to Elder Qiu?"
"It has already been shown to him through the Pope. The Pope didn't say anything, but he sent people everywhere to capture the Iron Beast Army's spies."
Qin Che nodded: "A great battle is about to break out. Is there anything else?"
"Yes, these are some military intelligence documents from the Icefield battlefield. The Cabinet will process them and then give them to you for review."
Qin Che took it and glanced at it.
With Li Xin overseeing things on the icy plains, he wasn't worried at all.
For sixty years, Li Xin has been galloping across the battlefield on the icy plains, and his strength has long since reached the pinnacle of the second stage.
He just needs some opportunity and luck; he might be promoted to Master at any time.
Meanwhile, experts from research institutes and academies are doing their utmost to overcome imperial technology challenges. If they can help Li Xin's promotion, they might even be able to assist him ahead of schedule.
"The overall strategy remains unchanged. As I said, we should establish a foothold in the southern cities and not venture any further."
"yes."
The gerbil was somewhat puzzled.
Why didn't the prince allow the Leopard Army to venture deeper into the icy plains?
For years, they have been carrying out small-scale invasions in the southern border of the empire.
Those ghostly soldiers and generals have no intelligence. If they continue north, they might be able to find the spiritual energy stone veins they want.
That would bring countless benefits to Leopard Court.
How could he know?
Over the past 60 years, Qin Che has conducted 60 simulations, either spending his entire life in seclusion to cultivate and improve his strength, or venturing into the icy plains to find the location of the mineral vein.
He has explored every inch of the empire's territory.
However, each time, he was intimidated by the aura of Yujing and was eventually surrounded and killed by countless third-stage Yin generals.
The result is always the same; it has never changed.
The mineral vein must be located north of Yujing.
That terrifying aura should still be dormant...
This is the information Qin Che obtained from so many simulations.
"Judging by the time, the next simulation is just around the corner..."
Qin Che was hesitating. He was facing the Central Plains War alongside the Holy See, and the key to the war lay in whether the company's Hive mainframe could be shut down.
The problem now is,
Despite the Papacy's numerous efforts over the years, very few of its informants have been able to enter Earthsea.
Computers have a strong ability to distinguish.
You can tell at a glance whether someone is a clone or not.
It won't pass the security check.
In this way, the Hive host is hidden very well.
“Your Highness, if the Hive mainframe can be shut down, the Central Continent War can end immediately. The Vatican claims that the mainframe controls the clones, and if the mainframe is shut down, the clones will be completely wiped out.”
"At that time, as long as the remaining main force is destroyed on the main battlefield, the war will end."
"The Pope will personally go to Earthsea and destroy their various divisions."
Qin Che smiled and said, "Old Qiu has told me this many times, but it's not something we should be concerned about. If we can really find the location of the host, I should help."
