A week had passed by the time Qin Xiao emerged from the Ice Palace again.
He followed Mu Yueming somewhat listlessly.
Ahead, Mu Yueming's eyelids twitched, and she fell a step behind almost imperceptibly, whispering.
"You better pull yourself together. Living in the Ice Palace Villa, you look like you're going to... People who don't know better might think you've been defiling the palace!"
Qin Xiao clicked his tongue, "It seems about the same..."
Mu Yueming's expression turned cold, clearly feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Qin Xiao quickly gestured, "Don't be silly, so many people are watching. I'll be more focused, don't worry."
Mu Yueming stomped her foot, flicked her wide sleeves, and walked away unhappily.
The front hall was the same scene as before.
However, this time the protagonist is not Qin Xiao, but a group of young people dressed in tight-fitting clothes.
Inside the main hall, the crowd whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with scrutiny.
However, these people dared not underestimate these young people, not to mention their own strength.
Although the Ice Eternal Divine Dynasty is a powerful divine force, Blue Star is not to be trifled with.
If we really want to talk about it, it's quite obvious which is more important to the Ice Emperor: the Ice Eternal Dynasty or Blue Star.
Besides, there isn't just one god on Earth!
Qin Xiao followed behind Mu Yueming, who sat on the high throne, while he stood beside her like an eunuch.
The female official next to him gave him a look, and he realized what was happening, scurrying down the steps.
Standing in front of a group of people, the young people looked at him and Mu Yueming with curiosity.
"Is this Qin Xiao?"
"I think so, I heard..."
"Senior Mu has such a commanding presence, it's a shame I can't see her face clearly..."
"quiet!"
As the female attendants on either side held their whips and ordered everyone to be quiet, although it was a bit novel, everyone wasn't stupid and quieted down.
"Gentlemen of Blue Star, I am deeply honored that you have come to assist me. I have already informed Marquis Jingbian of the details."
Regarding your tasks and rewards, Marquis Jingbian will explain them to you in detail later. Afterwards, a banquet will be held to entertain you all.
This audience was just a formality; the main purpose was to prepare and finalize the matter of sending troops.
After that, the show featuring these foreign players was over; they just sat back and watched the drama unfold.
With Mu Yueming's intention to send troops becoming clear, the previously hidden undercurrents finally surfaced, and the court was filled with endless arguments.
The argument boils down to one main point.
There's only border friction right now; there's no need to escalate it. Launching a war rashly would be a waste of resources and manpower.
Among them, the old man, the Left Prime Minister, was the most vocal, after all, he was in charge of this area.
However, Mu Yueming's attitude was very firm, and with the confidence gained from Qin Xiao's strong support, she made her stance clear.
If you don't cooperate, then it'll be your turn; if you jump up, then we'll destroy you.
This left the entire court speechless.
They can still try to get away with things within the established rules, but if they really push them too far, Her Majesty the Empress will slaughter them all, and there will be no one to reason with them.
Ultimately, the final interpretation and the truth always reside with the royal family, or more precisely, with her mother...
Moreover, even without her mother's help, Mu Yueming has now become more assertive.
Even the female officials in the Ice Palace have been completely purged, and most of the staff have been replaced by people from Qin Xiao's Secret Realm.
Yes, they are the sea creatures and elves from that little secret realm in the Endless Sea.
This is like jumping straight to the top, and even generating revenue! Can you believe it...?
In the current Mythic+ dungeons, everyone is putting in a lot of effort to compete for the spots that will be available in five years.
Humans, in particular, want to salvage their bad reputation with the Lord of the World and also want to take a bite out of this lucrative opportunity.
After all, working in the Ice Palace means that, to put it bluntly, you can apply for any resources you want, as long as you sign the agreement with the gods.
The Ice Palace can provide you with as much resource as your talent, it's simply amazing.
Most of the resources in the Ice Palace are supplied by the Divine Dynasty, but the top resources are the Ice Emperor's private treasury.
Even Qin Xiao drooled when he saw it...
If it weren't for his impeccable character, he would have already exploited this batch of elves and sea creatures sent to the palace.
Fortunately, there aren't many top-tier talents that we can afford to invest heavily in developing.
Even if there were, after signing the agreement, the Ice Palace would still offer Qin Xiao, the Lord of this world, a buyout price...
After some arguing, a decision was finally made.
The Divine Dynasty mobilized five million troops from the south and one million troops from the north to guard the Temple of Myriad Realms.
Ten million troops from the central government and local garrison forces, totaling twelve million, were deployed to the northwest and southwest border regions.
In this war, Qin Xiao, the Marquis of Jingbian, is the commander-in-chief, and the Blue Star Beast Tamers are the elite force, striving to completely eliminate all territorial disputes.
According to their private discussion with Mu Yueming, these troops were just there to make up the numbers in this battle; they were only there to nominally participate.
The main focus is on the high-end combat capabilities of Qin Xiao's group, to wipe out all the forces on the border, and then the troops will cultivate the land and defend the border.
If the enemy escalates the war, Mu Yueming will also dispatch various powerful families and nobles to the front lines to provide support.
In the context of a war in such a vast and boundless super-world, a battle involving tens of millions of people is merely a small-scale conflict.
Moreover, in the extraordinary world, the focus is never on low-ranking soldiers.
It's nothing more than generals versus generals versus kings.
Moreover, the purpose of war is never bloodshed and slaughter, but rather, through this war, both Mu Yueming and Qin Xiao want to understand.
Who exactly is behind this?
If Qin Xiao were to thoroughly cleanse the entire border region, the enemy would not be exposed.
Well... all I can say is that they're quite tolerant.
At the banquet that followed, the forces of the Divine Dynasty looked as if they had lost their parents, and everyone was dejected.
Those who made subtle moves and those who didn't were all secretly concerned.
Because after this incident, one thing is certain: the Empress has reshaped her power, and those little schemes will no longer work.
Qin Xiao and his group, on the other hand, had no inhibitions and enjoyed the various exotic delicacies to the fullest.
Senior students flocked to him, making their presence known to this Marquis of Jingbian.
After all, Qin Xiao is the one who will be responsible for the evaluation of this mission, and there is no mentor with the team.
That's fucking outrageous.
Qin Xiao sat comfortably in his seat, his eyes fixed on a rather unsociable figure.
Qin Wendao sat in his chair, feeling a little intimidated by his fellow student from the same clan.
He still remembered the other party's speech at the previous academy meeting.
I didn't expect us to collide so soon.
For a moment, he even doubted whether there was something wrong with his decision to get involved in this mess.
Qin Xiao smiled and stood up. "Hey, senior, why are you standing here alone, lost in thought? Are you hiding something again?"
Qin Wendao awkwardly stood up, raised his glass, and held it low.
"Lord Jingbian, I had a problem before. This cup is my apology. Don't worry, I will definitely follow orders."
Qin Xiao's eyes flickered slightly. So humble...
"Hmm, easy to say. It just so happens that some monsters and demons have jumped out this time. I'll just take care of them all while I'm at it."
Qin Wendao's hand trembled as he thought of the desolate and extinct secret realm during the competition, and a chill ran down his spine.
Well, I hope that person's plan doesn't go wrong, otherwise I'm afraid I'm doomed.
However, the thought of the benefits made him feel excited.
You can't stand firm if you're not ruthless. I'm an orphan, what do I have to be afraid of!
If you succeed, you're the boss of all realms; if you lose, you can just start over!
