Although the main force of the Tianjuan Army has been destroyed, this does not mean that the war is coming to an end, because the rebels are still there.

Woolley's new policy was well accepted in Hurriyet, and with the former Hurriyet nobles headed by the priest Miller running around, the people of Hurriyet also witnessed with their own eyes the Assyrian army's strict military discipline and bravery in combat, so they were willing to try to accept and comply with it.

But this was not the case with Kimo. As the first region to be completely annexed by Tianjuan, it suffered the most abuses and looting. All the prominent families that were unwilling to actively attach themselves to and pledge allegiance to Tianjuan were purged. Most of those who voluntarily pledged allegiance were moved to Tianjuan by Helen because she did not want any bad news to suddenly come from Kimo while she was fighting in the front.

In other words, Kimo now has no figure like Priest Miller of Hulit to help Wu Lei achieve large-scale peaceful reforms. Although the preaching team has achieved fruitful results and has won the support of many Kimo nobles, these nobles are ultimately just fence-sitters, and some are even just waiting and watching. Therefore, the new policy caused an uproar as soon as it was announced, and the opponents once exceeded the supporters.

This phenomenon did not surprise Wu Lai. He had long anticipated that after the main force of Tianjuan was destroyed, the greatest chaos would definitely come from Kimo. This was why he hurried to Kimo after only two days of rest after taking over the canyon pass.

The day after Wu Lai took charge of Biejiamo, Yiner and Odo each left a camp for Wu Lai, and then split up into two groups to chase after the "grassroots team". At the same time, the Second Division of Vulture had also arrived at the border between Hulit and Kimo. Its combat mission was Wu Lai's - after entering Kimo's territory, wipe out all opposition forces along the way...

…

The parliament is very busy, the government office is even busier, but the busiest one is a new agency under the government office - the Urban Appearance Management Bureau.

Under the Assyrian system of separation of military and political power, the City Appearance Management Bureau is responsible for patrol work that should have been performed by the militia. During patrol duty, it must also promptly discover and stop various illegal behaviors and maintain the city's appearance and order. For example, it must deal with various behaviors such as random occupation of roads and reduce the occurrence of phenomena that affect the city's appearance.

This was actually the job of the Yanhuan Town management back then. It was tedious but meaningful, and there was a sense of superiority and accomplishment when doing it. It was even a bit leisurely - the urban appearance management personnel patrolled the area in batches and routes every day by horse-drawn carriages, with generous salaries and generous rewards, and they all lived a very comfortable life.

But recently, the City Appearance Management Bureau has been busy from top to bottom, and it is not as leisurely as before, because every few days, the parliament will announce a victory report, and the day after each victory report is announced, the public will spontaneously organize a large-scale celebration, and then there will always be garbage all over the ground and drunk people...

But no city management staff complained, even though the good news list showed more and more -

After hastily fleeing into the Tianjuan border, that "grassroots army" quickly marched across the Bilis Mountains, then crossed the river to occupy several contiguous villages and recruited all the villagers as soldiers. The small Tianjuan nobles in the nearby towns also heard the news and rushed to join in to get a piece of the pie - they obviously had not yet realized what kind of changes had taken place in the world.

After entering the Tianjuan border, Yin'er chased from the left, spending four days and three nights wading through chest-deep sewage and swamps, bypassing the Caotai army's fortifications and attacking their headquarters. On the right, Odo led a large group of troops across the Bilis Mountains and launched an attack at the same time as Yin'er. It took only half a day to annihilate the Caotai army.

The defeated army of the small nobles spread the bad news to Hanba, the largest city on the Tianjuan border. The actual controller of Hanba, Jiajishit, ordered the reinforcement of Hanba's defenses and appointed the experienced Phyllis to lead 20,000 makeshift troops to stop Iner and Odo. The two sides finally fought a great battle on the banks of the Skant River in Hanba.

Of course, calling it a war is obviously an exaggeration for Jiajishit, because the battle did not last long. After confirming through reconnaissance that the Jiaji army was just a mob, Inel and Odo joined forces and arranged their troops into a horseshoe formation, encircling the Jiaji army from the side. The Jiaji army, who had never seen such a formation before, immediately fell into chaos, but when the "horseshoe" suddenly closed, no matter whether they attacked or fled, they were greeted by sharp swords and deadly guns. In the end, the Jiaji army beheaded more than 7,000 people, and the remaining more than 10,000 people were captured. Only Phyllis led more than 120 cavalrymen to escape the siege and survived...

Just as Inr and Oddo were resting on the spot because of too many prisoners and casualties, the Vultures also faced an unexpected war -

The Second Division had just camped near a city called Maza. An army of about 7,000 people appeared, led by Sipias, a Kimo nobleman with lofty ambitions. He spent all his family wealth to put together this army in order to reverse the situation and ultimately realize his ideal of controlling Kimo - from this point of view, his ideals were really big.

It has to be said that Sipias was quite capable. Most of his soldiers were slaves. He promised these slaves that as long as they fought bravely, they could gain freedom, wealth and power through their military exploits. Naturally, such encouragement made the slaves very excited, so they all put in their best efforts.

In addition, Sipias also has a team of 82 war elephants. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is incredible to have so many elephants, because it is extremely difficult to tame wild elephants. But this is nothing to Sipias, because his family is engaged in forestry. Several generations ago, they domesticated many wild elephants to serve as laborers and drag boulders out of the mountains. These war elephants are actually the descendants of the first batch of elephants.

After equipping the war elephants with armor and sharp weapons and blindfolding them, Sipias launched an attack on the Vulture's Second Division. He deployed more than 7,000 of his men in overlapping positions to protect the war elephants on both sides, and then waved the banner of attack.

As the war elephants, driven by their slaves, rushed towards the vulture camp, Scipios, who was watching the battle from behind, had a series of refreshing images of blood and flesh flying in his mind. He knew how powerful the war elephants were. Although these so-called war elephants had never been on the battlefield, they would occasionally go crazy. When they did that, their tusks were as sharp as the sharpest lances, their four hooves were enough to crush rocks, and with a roll of their long trunks, trees would fall and houses would be destroyed...

But Sipias was soon frightened.

When the war elephants rushed to the front of the Vulture Army's camp, the Vulture Army's left wing suddenly sounded drums and horns, and shouted loudly. Then flames rose into the sky in front of the camp gate, and deafening explosions were heard from time to time. After being frightened, some of Sipias' war elephants stopped moving forward, some turned around and rushed back to their own battle formations, and some fled after being shot and burned. For a time, Sipias's army was in chaos.

Of course, the Vultures would not miss this favorable opportunity. They immediately ordered their cavalry to make a detour and outflanking move, while sending a regiment to attack Hannibal's army head-on. At that moment, it was no longer Sibies who was driving the war elephants to attack the Vultures' army, but the Vultures who were driving the elephants to trample on Sibies' army. After realizing that the situation was not right, Sibies fled in panic. Then, the Second Division had an additional war elephant battalion...

…

Bailey and Sales were not idle either. Although Adolf was destroyed, the power of the Hitt family was still there. Moreover, years of war, failures and the emergence of the Assyrian army also brought the reputation of the Tianjuan Hall to a low point - it seemed that it was no longer the center of the Tianjuan people. Then, the reversal and chaos of the situation made many originally ambitious families eager to try.

In the end, under the leadership of Ye Renwu, the Tianjuan Hall could only barely control Tianjuan City and the three small acropolises around it.

"I feel very sorry, but please believe me, I have tried my best." Ye Renwu said to Bailey and Sales helplessly.

"Such a situation was already anticipated by the lord." Sares smiled faintly. Achieving victory without bloodshed is something that can be encountered by chance but not sought after. Although the current situation in Tianjuan is not as good as expected, at least 30% of the area does not need him and Bailey to worry about. As for the rest, they can just take their time. Anyway, supplies and military rations do not need to be transported from Assyria. Ye Renwu just stated on behalf of Tianjuan Palace that the cost of quelling the rebellion will be borne by Tianjuan City.

"He always foresees things as accurately as possible." Ye Renwu smiled bitterly and shook his head, then continued, "The current situation of Tianjuan is that it lacks a strong leader. If, I mean if, Her Majesty Helen can..."

"General Ye Ren Wu." Bailey frowned and interrupted Ye Ren Wu. He glanced around and saw that the servants of Tianjuan Hall were far away, so he continued, "Helen Petra is the leader of war criminals for Assyria. In order to save her life, the reputation of the lord has been damaged, and there are even some unpleasant rumors. It is unrealistic to ask the lord to fight for your Helen Petra. Even if the lord is willing to agree, we will find a way to dissuade him. For the current lord, his reputation, wealth, and power have reached the peak. We who follow him will do our best to ensure that his glory is not tarnished or damaged. So, General Ye Ren Wu, please give up your idea."

"Yes, General Night Blade Dance, letting Helenpetra return to Tianjuan will cause unrest among everyone, because it was she who started the war in the first place." Sares echoed.

Ye Renwu nodded: "What you two said makes sense, but some of the Tianjuan people's ideas are already deeply rooted, so I thought... even if Helen is only allowed to come back for a period of time, I think it will be of great help in implementing the new policy."

"No." Bailey met Night Blade Dance's gaze. "This is just your personal opinion, General Night Blade Dance. Although I also think that even if Helen Petra returns to Tianjuan now, she won't be able to do anything, but the lord's ideal is to unify the continent and have peace for generations, so we won't watch the hidden dangers exist without dealing with them. General Night Blade Dance, you know, I was born a gladiator. In the gladiator manual, only dead enemies are truly non-threatening, so I can tell you responsibly that even if you can find a way to get Helen Petra back to Tianjuan, I will also have my own way to eliminate this hidden danger."

Ye Jianwu was silent. Bailey's words were very heavy, so heavy that she felt unhappy and vaguely sad.

Would she never be able to return to her hometown? Helen's face, her smile, her gloom, emerged in her mind.

"General Ye Renwu, let's proceed step by step. You take care of stabilizing the area around Tianjuan City, and we will pacify the rest of the areas. As for how to achieve peace everywhere, that is the lord's business. He always sees farther than we think, so, what are we worried about?" Sales said with a smile.

After pondering over what Sareth said, Ye Jianwu nodded slightly...

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

At the end of the fourth month after the Canyon Pass was conquered, Loli and Shelley brought their children into the temple. After greeting Mikoyan for a while, everyone walked into Helen's garden together.

Seeing everyone coming, Helen greeted them with a smile. After greeting each other, Helen asked someone to bring candy and vegetarian wine.

"They were all sent by Archbishop Mikoyan. They taste very good. I heard they are produced in Kayike, is that right, Archbishop Mikoyan?" Helen asked.

Mikoyan nodded tremblingly. He had just recovered from a serious illness and his voice was trembling when he spoke and walked, so he was too lazy to speak.

"There are many orchards in Kayikede. It has been peaceful in the past two years, and the people have the time and energy to take care of them. Not only is the yield high, but the taste is better than in previous years." Shelley said with a smile, and took two bunches of cherries and handed them to the brothers Nanzheng and Beizhan.

"Yes, only when you live in peace can you enjoy your work. Sister Helen, Hulett sent a batch of this year's new grain a few days ago, and the parliament allocated 20 carts to the Green Building. How can we eat so much? I will have someone send a cart to you tomorrow." Loli smiled and turned her head to look at Mikoyan, "And our Archbishop Mikoyan, I will also send you a cart."

"I have it, I have it." Mikoyan shook his head quickly. The parliament also allocated some new grain to the temple. Although it was less than half of that allocated to the Green Building, it was several times more than that allocated to ordinary parliamentarians, not to mention that those parliamentarians still had their salaries deducted.

"Thank you, little Loli. Although you don't come here often, you always bring me gifts. I'm alone here, so why would I need so much?" Helen said with a smile. She was envious of Loli because she was already a mother but still as lively and naughty as before.

"Sister Helen, it's not right for you to be polite to me." Loli pouted playfully and suddenly asked, "Sister Helen, do you know Owanshit?"

"Owanshit?" Helen frowned and asked, "Are you talking about Adolf's eldest grandson?"

"Yes, that's him." Loli said with a smile, "This guy is quite capable. After escaping from Tianjuan City, he actually recruited a lot of people and occupied your Tianjuan's Borgtai City. He defended it by relying on the water and the mountains. Bailey, Sales and Pompey besieged it for a month but failed to capture it."

"Borgtai City is built on the hillside. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even artillery is ineffective. But resources are scarce, the surrounding land is barren, and the population is small. It is not worth attacking. If we besiege it for a year or two, there will most likely be civil strife." Helen frowned and said casually.

"I'm not sure about that. Anyway, it was our master who took the city in the end. Sigh, these division commanders and generals are really a headache. Our master only took a day and a half to take it down. How could the division commanders be so incompetent?" Loli said with a hint of boasting.

"The lord is a person favored by God." Mikoyan interrupted tremblingly.

"It took only a day and a half to capture it? How did he do it?" Helen couldn't help but become curious. The city of Borgtai was known as "a strong city hanging on a cliff". Except for a road going up the mountain, the surrounding area was surrounded by steep stone walls that were almost vertical. There was no other way to get there.

"I don't know about that. Anyway, in the end, Aowangshit was killed, more than half of his subordinates were killed or injured, and the rest were all captured." Loli giggled, "But these are not the main points. The main point is that after this battle, Tianjuan completed the pacification after Hulit and Kimo, and the remaining bandits can no longer cause any trouble."

"So, he can come back?" Helen suddenly felt mixed emotions.

"Sister Helen, how can we call it back?" Loli smiled proudly, "It should be called 'Triumph'."
