When Shelley and the other three women were in the maternity period, the Tianjuan Army finally made a big move. This time the commander was not Hatra, but Ye Renwu - she led an army of 120,000 across the Assyrian Gorge, passing by Menia and Titania. After leaving a series of doubts, she divided 30,000 troops to take over Annan City, and divided another 30,000 troops each to block the passes leading to Assyria from Longvington and Kayked. She led the remaining 30,000 elite troops into Assyria.

The arrival of Night Blade Dance made the main peace faction jubilant, because it meant that the Tianjuan Empire officially accepted Assyria and Annan. Although it had been decided before, the Tianjuan Army was late, and the Hurlit Army kept harassing Titania, and seemed to have the intention of attacking Annan. How could they not be anxious? In fact, Helen chose to send troops to accept the two cities of Assyria and Annan. There was no other way. Before, she kept them to lure the Hurlit Army to grab bargains so that she could "sweep the bottom" herself. However, after Trajan ate Menia, he seemed to have made up his mind to be a local rich man there. In addition to harassing Titania and disrupting traffic, he did not touch anywhere else. Instead, Kayikede and Lunwenton were constantly "seducing" Assyria and Annan. After a while, Helen had to let Night Blade Dance occupy these two places first, otherwise they would be "mobilized" away by one of them, and the previous efforts would be in vain.

After occupying the two cities of Ashur and Annan, Ye Renwu launched a tentative attack on the cities of Kayikede and Lunwenton. Because it was just a test, the Tianjuan Army did not put in all its efforts. After concluding that these two places were using a large number of large crossbows to defend the city, the Tianjuan Army quickly retreated.

Retreating does not mean that they are not sure of the opportunity, but that the time is not yet ripe. If they choose to launch a fierce attack on any of Lunvington, Kayikede or Menia at this time, the other two parties will not miss the opportunity to attack the Tianjuan Army from behind. Although these three parties cannot join forces to attack Annan or Assyrian City, none of them will be willing to miss the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to harass and take advantage of the situation.

Even if we want to attack, we have to wait until one of the three parties shows signs of weakness first.

However, how could Duncan, Human and Trajan show their weakness so easily? Especially the Duncan family, who occupied Longwenton and strangled the Assyrian salt industry, had already caused public outrage in Assyria, Annan, Armenia and other places just by cutting off the salt route. However, Qiyuan opened up a secret transportation route to transport the salt needed by Kayikede there continuously. Putting aside the fact that they were of the same origin, the current Duncan family did not dare to let Kayikede be easily dealt with by Tianjuan or Hulit.

In comparison, the Hulit side seemed to be struggling the most, but as long as the Hulit First Corps was intact, the Tianjuan Army would not dare to act rashly. Moreover, in terms of the territory they occupied, the Hulit were invaders, and they did not need to care about the people's strength like they did elsewhere. Everything could be given priority to the army...

With no war to fight for the time being, Ye Renwu focused her attention on domestic affairs as instructed by Helen. In addition to being the special envoy of Tianjuan Palace and the general Zhenwei, she is also the commander-in-chief of Assyria and Annan.

After appointing new officials in the two cities, Ye Renwu changed the Senate of Assyria into the Grand Governor's Office. Then, Assyria and Annan set off a wave of destroying the statues of Amun.

The fanatics who attached themselves to Tianjuan, together with the Tianjuan Army, rushed into the temple, the Assyrian Civic College, and the central square, where the statues of the god Amun were most densely populated. They wielded sledgehammers and crowbars and destroyed all those magnificent statues that had accompanied the Assyrians for countless generations. Many people who tried to stop them were beaten and arrested. Many imprisoned clergy chose to commit suicide to express their grief and indignation after hearing the news. More than 10,000 people went to the Grand Governor's Mansion to petition, but this still did not shake Ye Renwu's plan, because Helen said that the only true God in this world is "Lo".

Of course, it was not just the statues that were destroyed, but also the clay tablets and books in the Assyrian Civil Academy, the sacred texts and calendars collected by the people, and even the "Complete Book of Assyria" in the residence of the Supreme Council was not spared...

The intelligence network that De Leng built for Wu Lai transmitted the above information back to Greendo Island at the fastest speed. After listening to it, Wu Lai sat there for a long time and said to himself: "Burning books... What will happen next is not..."

The changes in the situation in Assyria and Annan diluted Wu Lai's joy. Five days ago, Shelley gave birth to a chubby son for him. Three days ago, Loli also gave birth to Wu Lai's second son, who was slightly thinner than his brother. Elise was on the delivery bed at this moment...

Wu Lai was in a daze because he was worried. He was worried that the Tianjuan Army would do something even more outrageous. In his opinion, even if war was unavoidable, it should be separated from civilians, cultural heritage, and religion. Because no matter how bad the war was, it would end one day. If civilization lost its continuity, everything would return to darkness and ignorance...

But Tianjuan obviously didn't have the same idea as Wu Lai.

Wu Lai was very worried about the next move of the Tianjuan Army. He could basically guess what the Tianjuan Army would do next...

He really guessed it right - all the teachers of the Assyrian Citizens Academy were arrested, as were all the scholars, architects, sculptors, and musicians in Assyria and Annan. Their houses were burned down, and their families were either arrested or expelled. Those who angered the Tianjuan Army during their resistance were even beaten to death on the spot...

More people went to the Grand Governor's Office to petition, and even many people in the peace faction reminded Ye Renwu directly or indirectly that if he continued to do so, it would provoke a civil uprising.

In response to this, Ye Renwu held a special meeting, in which she reminded everyone who had reminded her before: "Everything I did in Assyria and Annan was strictly following the orders of His Majesty the Emperor. Since you are already subjects of the Tianjuan Empire, you should obey the orders unconditionally. The Emperor's words are golden, and her edicts are the will of God. The true God of the continent is 'Luo', and the rest are false gods and must be destroyed."

Yes, before Ye Jianwu left, Helen told her that if she wanted to conquer the Assyrians and the Hurrians, she must first let them know that the god Amun they worshipped was a false god and could not protect them at all...

After the meeting, the Tianjuan Army tortured the arrested scholars, architects, sculptors, and musicians. Among them were nobles and commoners, those with unyielding spirits and those who were afraid of death. The two types were quickly separated by severe torture. In the end, those who were afraid of death surrendered and chose to sing praises for Tianjuan. The other part were detained together and executed collectively on a certain day as a warning to the public.

Ye Renwu announced the method of execution - pit killing.

While Assyria and Annan were in a state of panic due to the bloody war, the island of Grindel was peaceful and harmonious. On this day, Wu Lai officially named the children - the youngest daughter was already a month old, and the three women all clamored for Wu Lai to give the children a name. Wu Lai himself thought that calling them Dabao, Erbao, and Sanbao was good and easy to pronounce, but Shelley and Lori said that if Wu Lai voluntarily gave up the right to name the children, then they would not mind dragging Elise along to share this honor.

Wu Lai finally compromised, because he really didn't want his three babies to be called difficult-to-pronounce names, such as Helix, Isabella, etc.

In the small courtyard, three women sat in front of Wu Lai, holding their children, with smiles on their faces and anticipation in their eyes.

Wu Lai frowned and thought for a long time, then pointed at Dabao in Shelley's arms and said, "This little guy is greedy and sleepy, smiling all day long. His arms and legs are much stronger than his brothers and sisters. He will definitely be a powerful general in the future. Let's call him 'Nanzheng'."

"Nanzheng?" Shelley was stunned, and couldn't help but purse his lips. "Wu Lai, do you think it's appropriate to give your son such a name?"

"Suitable, of course suitable." Wu Laile waved his hands and looked at the loli with one side of his face.

"It must be a nice-sounding name." Loli pouted.

"The younger brother's name is naturally chosen according to the older brother's. The older brother is called 'Nan Zheng' and the younger brother is called 'Bei Zhan'. Fighting south and north, defending the borders and land, how great is that." Wu Lai said with a smile.

"I don't think so." Loli pouted even more.

When Wu Lai cast his gaze towards Yi Leisi, Yi Leisi subconsciously shrank back, hesitated for a moment, and said timidly: "Master, Sanbao is a girl."

"Of course I know it's a girl. I'm not blind." Wu Lai laughed. Ever since the three babies were born, no one among the housekeepers and servants called him "Young Master" anymore. They all called him "Master". Although it has been some time, Wu Lai is still not used to it.

"Then... then you have to give it a good name." Iris said weakly.

"Of course, Sanbao's full name is 'Le'er', what do you think? Are you all satisfied?" Wu Lai asked with a smile.

The three girls looked at each other and answered at the same time: "Not satisfied."

"It's not okay if you're not satisfied. It's settled." Wu Lai straightened his face, stood up, threw his sleeves, and said as he walked out the door, "You guys take care of the kids. I have something to do at the armory."

The three girls looked at his back and pouted at the same time...

…

Night Blade Dance set the execution site at the Assyrian Hippodrome, which was absolutely an irony for the Assyrians, because today, many people who originally sat in the stands to watch the game were also watching death, and would become the objects of shocking or pleasing others with death.

Ye Renwu sat in the first area, which was closest to the gladiatorial area. This was originally the seat for senior members of the temple, the Senate, the Supreme Council, and the top six large families. Each seat was carved from a whole piece of marble and covered with animal skin cushions. There was also a stone platform in front of the seat for placing wine, fruit, and delicacies.

After sitting down, Ye Renwu suddenly felt a strong sense of accomplishment in her heart. When she was still in the Assyrian Citizens College, she had dreamed of sitting in this position with such a posture. At that time, it was still an unattainable and somewhat ridiculous dream, but today, it really happened.

The Assyrian temple has become a ruin. How can a place that once worshipped a false god like Amon be used to worship the supreme "Lo"? Looking at the city of Assyria, the most suitable area for worshipping "Lo" is naturally the beautiful mountain in the south of the city. Now, more than 6,000 people are working day and night to build it there...

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Senate? Humph, Assyria is gone, how can there be a Senate? Except for those who were liquidated, those who chose to serve Tianjuan were all given official positions, but no matter how high their official positions were, they were all slaves of Emperor Tianjuan. From now on, apart from the emperor's will, who can make decisions about Assyria and Annan? Thinking of this, Ye Renwu raised the corner of his mouth a little, gently raised his right arm, and the sound of the horn sounded...

With the sound of wheels rumbling, more than 20 carts drove into the arena. The carts were naturally loaded with those who were to be executed today - the 162 large pits in the arena had been dug, and the 162 people in the carts had been wrapped in linen to become "human sticks". The only thing left to do was to "plant" them.

However, there was one exception. Not only was he not wrapped in linen, he was not even restrained at all. At this moment, he was sitting in the first carriage - Saint Leon.

St. Lean's carriage drove straight to the fence in front of Night Blade Dance's seats. After being helped out of the car by two soldiers, he, dressed in a white shirt and looking haggard, slowly climbed onto a wooden platform standing there. On the wooden platform was a gallows.

People who saw this scene were somewhat moved, because Saint Lean, who was old and had been imprisoned for a long time, knew that he would die once he stepped onto the wooden platform, but he walked calmly as if he was strolling in a temple. He even pushed away the two soldiers who tried to drag him.

When Saint Leandon approached the gallows, the executioner waiting there came up with a black hood and pretended to put it on.

"Go away!" Saint Lean glanced coldly and shouted, "It's not shameful to go to the danger bravely, why should I use this thing!"

The executioner was stunned. He didn't expect Saint Lean to be so tough.

"I have something to say!" Saint Lean raised his head and looked at Night Blade Dance. A few days ago, Night Blade Dance had come to persuade him to change his faith, so Saint Lean knew who she was. The wooden platform for execution was only more than ten steps away from Night Blade Dance's seat. Naturally, Night Blade Dance could hear Saint Lean's explosive voice clearly.

"Speak now!" Ye Renwu stood up, "If you dare to slander Tianjuan, I will cut off your tongue first!"

"Does Tianjuan still need me to slander you?" Saint Lean laughed, pushed away the executioner who was approaching again, and said loudly, "Ye Renwu, I want to tell you something. It is related to me and it is also closely related to you. Do you hear me?"

Ye Renwu frowned: "Go ahead."

"Since I was placed under house arrest, many members of the Temple Guard have died, left, or surrendered. But you would never imagine that since the day I was placed under house arrest, there has been a team secretly protecting my safety!" Saint Leon's face was filled with relief and pride. "Just last night, they even sneaked into your seemingly imaginary siege and persuaded me to leave."

"Nonsense!" Ye Renwu frowned and shouted.

"Hmph! Night Blade Dance, you think you are powerful, but don't forget! We in Assyria still have a true God-favored one, Wuleglindo!" Saint Lean shouted loudly, "The team that protected me and persuaded me to leave are his men! They have been operating under your noses! As long as they want, they can take your lives at any time!"

"So that's how it is!" Ye Renwu smiled instead of getting angry, "Then, respected High Priest Saint Lean, since you have the chance to escape, why don't you run away? Is it because you are not sure you can get out of this city?"

"No! Do you think I am as cowardly and afraid of death as those who have surrendered to you?" Saint Leon laughed again, "Night Blade Dance, they are just a group of humble cowards. How strong can you be if you choose to associate with such cowards?"

"You..." A cold light flashed across Ye Renwu's eyes, "Executioner, block his mouth!"

"Wait!" Saint Lean waved his hand and waved away the executioner's hand for the third time. He swept his eyes across the stands in front of him and suddenly raised his voice, "I, Lean Gerard, the 25th High Priest of the Assyrian Temple! I solemnly announce that the candidate for the 26th High Priest of the Assyrian Territory Temple is! Wulai, the God-favored One of Seneca City and a Special Attendant of the Assyrian Supreme Council! Wulai Grindo!"

The stands were filled with boos and discussions, creating a chaotic buzz...

"Kill!" Ye Jianwu drew his sword from its sheath and slashed forward fiercely...
