Chapter 548 The Great Emperor
Lin Wen landed on a mountain near the princess's palace. Of course, he couldn't just go in like that. Nominally, he had sent the Dragon Team, so it was reasonable for him to lead the team personally, but how could he come alone?
Lin Wen took out sixteen pieces of puppet-enabling talisman paper and scattered them on the ground. Elite agents such as Bald Qiang and Pleasant Goat reappeared.
There are sixteen people in total, including some new faces. Lin Wen gave them names one by one and called them the Sixteen Heavenly Kings of the Dragon Group.
This is the first time that the sixteen heavenly kings have gathered together.
The Dragon Group has never been so powerful.
"Hmph, I've dominated the world for over ten thousand years without a single defeat. Let me see who dares to act so arrogantly in front of me."
"As soon as I finish this battle, I will go back home and get married..."
Lin Wen raised flags frantically for himself, and after stacking up all the BUFFs, he rushed towards the princess's palace in a heroic manner.
It was a manor originally belonging to a wealthy man in Cao County. After renovation, it became the temporary palace of the first princess.
The entire perimeter of the palace was surrounded by military camps, and the inner circle was filled with royal guards. Lin Wen was an old acquaintance among them, so he had a smooth journey.
Li Linyue also learned about the arrival of Lin Wen and the Dragon Group, and specially sent her maid Ling to greet them.
Ling stood at the gate of the villa with a sullen face. As soon as she saw him, she said, "You only have sixteen people. Do you think you are so strong? Don't die outside later."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words."
Ling rolled her eyes and muttered, "Slippery tongue."
Turn around and take them inside.
Li Linyue was in the hall at this time, surrounded by members of the Princess Faction.
On a huge round table, there was a sand table of Xiyanzhou. Li Linyue, dressed in a teacher's formal attire, was scratching the sand table with a whip.
"Here, and here, these two points must be grasped. Panlong City is the center..."
When she saw Lin Wen, her eyes lit up and she immediately interrupted her teaching. She said with a smile, "Lin Wen, you're here. The famous Dragon Group is right behind you. It's really... magnificent. Liu You, give each of them a reward."
Everyone in the Princess's faction showed envy, except Lin Wen, who frowned slightly but said nothing more. He signaled the spirit puppets to accept it through telepathy.
Soul-imbued puppets are advanced puppets. Their social abilities are a hundred times stronger than Lin Wen's in his normal state. Bald Qiang and the others expressed their gratitude and accepted the gifts respectfully.
A ceremonial officer shouted from the side: "Congratulations, Mr. Guang! Congratulations, Mr. Xi!"
There was a wave of applause all around. If he changed his words and actions, it would be a proper court between the emperor and his ministers.
Lin Wen didn't want to stay in this atmosphere for long, and said, "Linyue..." Suddenly, a loud cough came from the side, and many dissatisfied eyes swept over. Even Li Linyue signaled him with her eyes to change the name.
"This... Your Highness."
Today, for the sake of Death Star, Lin Wen was relatively flexible to avoid being convicted of intentional suicide.
"Which is the most dangerous...er, most important place right now? Let me guard it."
A skinny guy sneered on the spot, "Chief Lin, you're so arrogant! This isn't Changshan County, this is the most important position in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess. You can just take it. What's the reason?"
Lin Wen took a quick look and saw many new faces in the Princess Faction. The last time he was at the Zezhou front, the core members of the Princess Faction were only a dozen or so people scattered around, and he knew them all.
Now, there are probably nearly two hundred people in this entire hall, most of whom he has never seen before.
I turned on [Observe People by Looking at Their Qi] and took a look. More than half of them had black energy, and the thin bamboo pole was completely black.
But today, he was in front of the princess and was preparing to reincarnate. He didn't want to cause any trouble, so Lin Wen rarely let him go: "Go away, I'll spare your life."
He turned and said, "Lin Yue, I don't have time to waste here. Tell me where the most important position is. Evacuate your people and I will take over personally."
Before Li Linyue could say anything, the skinny guy flew into a rage: "Where did this stray dog come from? How dare you bark here? County Chief Lin, are you so great? Do you know who I am? I'm standing right here, and you dare to kill me?"
Bang!
The skinny guy's head exploded on the spot, and blood mixed with brain matter covered the round table and dyed the sand table red.
Eliminate evil and gain good karma +8
Everyone was stunned. Even Li Linyue saw for the first time that Lin Wen smashed a man's head with his fist in front of her. A large number of royal guards rushed in. The faint cold light showed that they were already in combat status. More than a dozen taller guard captains blocked Li Linyue.
Lin Wen sighed softly, "Why are there so many ungrateful people in the empire? Don't you know how many people I've killed? I've slaughtered people in Changshan County, Yaojing, Shizhou, and all over the empire, leaving corpses strewn all over the ground. Don't you know anything about that?"
They didn't know anything and just kept shouting, "Murder!"
"Murder!"
He hid behind the royal guards, still scolding them: "Are you blind? Kill that assassin quickly!"
"They killed people on the spot and you didn't care?"
"Your Highness, Your Highness, he has killed someone! You must take charge of this for us!"
Lin Wen ignored the noisy voices and said calmly, "Lin Yue, I'm telling you, don't accept just anyone. I'll help you clean up once today. I hope you'll take care of yourself in the future."
As he raised his right hand, the steel needle in the iron box on his waist automatically flew into his hand.
With a flick of his finger, the steel needles shot out like flowers scattered from the sky, accurately hitting the eyebrows of the fully black people and piercing into their brains. The half-black people were pierced through the cheeks, and the one-third black people were pierced through the arms and limbs.
No matter where they hid, it was useless. The steel needle seemed to have eyes. It could not only turn but also track. The control radius of ten meters of [Object Control Technique] was very large, which was equivalent to taking him as the center of the circle, and the area of three hundred and ten square meters was all under his control.
The entire hall is just over 300 square meters.
Therefore, no one can escape Lin Wen's steel needle punishment.
There was a sudden wailing sound at the scene. The cold light on the royal guards was already quite obvious, and Bald Qiang and others were obviously on guard.
"stop!"
Behind the captain of the imperial guard, Li Linyue said sternly.
"Withdraw from combat mode. No one is allowed to attack."
The royal guards gradually extinguished their cold light.
"Get out of my way."
The captain of the guards whispered, "Your Highness, there is danger!"
Li Linyue raised her voice: "Get out of my way!"
The captain of the guard had no choice but to step aside to let the princess out, but they still followed closely behind the princess.
Li Linyue came to Lin Wen and looked at him.
There was a divine light in Lin Wen's eyes. In his sight, Li Linyue's aura was brilliant gold and noble purple, shaped like a palace, with an uplifting aura. Above the palace was a large amount of illusory black air, proving that she had a tendency to turn evil, but had not put it into action.
But now, her black energy was evaporating, and even the small amount of solidified black was fading.
"Lin Wen."
She hugged him gently.
"Thank you."
Turning around, he ordered, "Take them all away. Notify the Imperial Political Supervisory Council and the Western Yanzhou High Council. Isolate and investigate them. Even those who died will be included."
"For serious crimes, fines must be paid and property confiscated."
The hall was suddenly filled with wailing: "Your Highness, why is this happening? I surrendered sincerely."
"A sheriff is nothing. I'm much more powerful than him!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
The sound gradually faded away, and the royal guards dragged them all out.
The captain of the guard judged that it was basically safe and retreated, but just in case, he still squeezed the Dragon Team agents with him.
Ling looked disgusted, fanning her delicate nose while complaining, "What a bunch of losers."
Liu You exhaled: "Your Highness, this is troublesome. Our forces will be greatly damaged."
The blond man, Fili, said loudly, "I think it's right. Brother Lin did a good job. These guys have messed up the Princess Pie. Even when I go out to a nightclub, people come to accuse me of being unfaithful to Your Highness... Uh, Your Highness, of course I won't be unfaithful to you. You are the goddess in my heart forever, but I also have to get married and have children..."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "That's a good mentality. I think it can be promoted within your faction."
Li Linyue looked at Fei Li sternly: "Did you hear that? Do as Lin Wen said."
Philip stuck out his tongue and made a face at Lin Wen.
Lin Wen thought Li Linyue's attitude was a bit strange, but he didn't think too much about it and continued, "Is your place the most important?"
Li Linyue said softly, "Panlong City is the transportation hub west of Xiyan Province. A lot of our fertilizers, seeds, and food are shipped in and out from here. But it faces the western mountains, which was the former nest of the Evolution Sect. If we can hold Panlong City, we can trap many of Moshili's biochemical monsters in the mountains."
Liu You added: "Headmaster Lin, we have fought many battles with Moshili's special forces there, and our losses are heavy."
The blond man, Fili, also said angrily, "It's mainly because the place is too big and we don't have enough troops. We're constantly being ambushed by them, and we can't just hide away."
"They are too mobile, and our Royal Guards can't go too far..."
Ling complained, "You are too incompetent. You were beaten to a pulp by a few biochemical monsters, and even His Highness was put in danger."
Fili angrily said, "You know nothing! That monster is clearly beyond common sense and is incredibly powerful..."
"Bah, incompetence is incompetence."
Philip was furious: "If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'm afraid you won't know how powerful our Empire's Twin Stars and Triple Stars are..."
"alright."
Lin Wen stopped their quarreling and turned to Li Linyue, saying, "Tell all the troops to hold their positions and withdraw all the royal guards. I'll be there."
Li Linyue replied softly, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Philip kept all the words in his stomach and didn't say them out loud.
Lin Wen didn't feel anything unusual and said, "Then I'll go."
Taking the Dragon Group agents with him, he turned and headed towards Panlong City.
Ling complained, "What a pretentious guy... like he can get more."
Fili felt a little strange: "Your Highness is a little different today..."
The old butler Liu You sighed and was already thinking about the wedding in his mind.
Li Linyue looked at Lin Wenyuan's retreating figure and thought to herself, "Is this what the former great emperor of the empire looked like?"
——
As soon as Lin Wen left the princess's palace, he dismissed the clay figurines to prevent them from wasting time.
The soul-imbued puppets only have eight hours in total. These sixteen puppets have all been used, and the remaining time is within 2-4 hours.
Therefore, the appearance fee of the Dragon Team agents is still quite expensive.
Lin Wen used [Ride the Clouds] again and flew to Panlong City.
This is a very large city that looks dilapidated and depressed. The most common things inside and outside the city are freight cars, trucks, trains, and the extensive railway tracks.
The second is military camps, especially at key transportation points and railway tracks.
The soldiers were all armed and highly alert. Searchlights were mounted on the tall watchtowers. Special countermeasures forces specifically designed to deal with special forces were patrolling in armored vehicles with high-powered weapons.
There was not a single civilian in the city. Old trucks were scattered everywhere, traces of fighting were visible everywhere, and the dilapidated houses were like a scar, deeply engraved on the city.
The City Hall is located in the center of Panlong City, surrounded by armed military and police. Half of the building has collapsed, and it is obvious that it has been attacked.
As soon as Lin Wen arrived, someone recognized him.
"Chief Lin, you're here so soon?"
A bald man ran over from the heavily surrounded building and shook his hand affectionately.
"Your Highness's telegram has just arrived, and you've already arrived. The royal technology is indeed well-deserved. You are worthy of being our savior."
Baldy was extremely enthusiastic. As he led Lin Wen toward the building, he shouted, "The savior is here! The savior is here! Make way for the great savior!"
Along the way, the soldiers had no doubts about Lin Wen and let them all pass.
According to Lin Wen's observation, they seemed to have no vigilance towards humans, and only showed unusual caution towards abnormal, obscured large objects.
Lin Wen thought to himself, "It seems the monsters that attacked them were all very large."
He was a little confused again. In his impression, although those insect people were much taller than normal humans, they were not giants.
"Is it technological advancement, or a new biochemical monster?"
When they arrived at the office building, when the bald man explained that this was County Governor Lin, the reinforcement sent by Her Royal Highness the Princess, all the officials who were working there burst into tears of joy and wanted to rush over and kiss his shoes.
Baldy pushed aside these overly enthusiastic officials and continued to move forward with Lin Wen.
A moment later, Lin Wen met the chief of the area. He was tall and thin, wearing a pair of large glasses. He sat in his chair and swayed from side to side, as if he was in deep panic.
The bald man shouted, "Commander Chen! Our savior is here! This is County Magistrate Lin."
Lin Wen nodded slightly and glanced at him.
This man is not very evil, less than one twentieth of the time, so he is considered a good official.
His panic-stricken demeanor showed that he was in great fear.
The bald man's shout startled him. He suddenly raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were two humans.
"Excuse me, Commander Lin. I'm Chen Si, the governor of Panlong City. I'm very happy to meet you."
Lin Wen shook his hand briefly and said directly, "You should have received the princess's order. Just follow her orders."
"Now, tell me the situation."
