"Ancestor was wrong, I still have two lovely great-granddaughters!" Green reminded him that he still had two little cuties at home.

"Do you know what the high elves had in abundance back then?" The old ancestor rolled his eyes at the younger generation.

"There are the most geniuses!" Green replied naturally. "You're wrong... There are the most bachelors!" After saying that, he ignored the messy Green and flew to find Lin Xingchen.

With the help of Christian, the medal was activated. It was more like a system transplant than an activation. There was a place specifically for medal activation in the center of the Sky City.

"Now that I've given you the things, you can leave! The less you come here, the safer you'll be."

It is not enough to have only the commander's medal, you must also have a matching sub-medal. The materials used for this thing are relatively simple. At least when our ancestors said it was simple, it meant that you can make it yourself.

It took seven days to finally make the required materials. At Lin Xingchen's request, the goblins had already mastered the stamping technology, and the required things soon came into being. The magicians sent by the queen wore the medal one by one, and then after being instructed, they used magic power to activate the connector.

Soon many people felt a magical perspective. The training could not wait until everyone was present before starting. Those who arrived first would be trained first. A large amount of medicines were thrown at them, and Lin Xingchen was willing to impart all kinds of knowledge. The most important thing was the presence of the big boss.

Lin Xingchen always felt that his ancestors were hiding something from him, but he was still very shocked when he saw an ancestor transformed from a soul state into a physical body.

However, the ancestor told him that this was only temporary, and that he needed to prepare many things if he wanted to truly own a body. However, with the guidance of his ancestors, he became more and more proficient in using the Commander's Medal.

Someone brought news every day, until today Arnold personally brought news that the army had begun to station twenty miles outside the Maple Leaf Territory.

"Although it is a quick-formed army, it still has very impressive strength. If used well, it can change the direction of this war." After more than ten days of special training, Christian gave Lin Xingchen a great evaluation! " Thank you for your concern for me, if I can survive this time, I will definitely build a magic tower to train magicians." Perhaps only they themselves could understand the conversation between them, and some people around them felt a little confused even if they heard it.

"Go! Your territory and people need your help. Lead them to victory and show me what kind of different civilization you can develop."

"Don't worry, ancestor. You will definitely see it. Maybe its achievements cannot compare to the Elf Empire you created, but I can guarantee that even in your Elf Era there would not be such a lively scene."

After walking out of the backyard training ground, he ignored the magicians who were training in the backyard and went directly to the military camp, which is now the place with the most people in the entire Maple Leaf Territory.

In name, the supreme commander is the Duke of Maple Leaf, but in fact the one who actually leads the army is the tax officer Albert, and Luke is his assistant.

The army was well managed and their entry and exit were orderly. Every soldier was full of energy and spirit. Lin Xingchen was a little puzzled by these things that suddenly popped up in his mind. Finally, after thinking deeply, he realized that this was the knowledge that the light ball under the tree on the farm brought him.

However, despite having this knowledge, he does not intend to take back his power. Talents need to be cultivated. Albert is a talent worth cultivating. At least he is loyal and trustworthy.

As soon as the war broke out, many merchants began to get scared again, but this time they did not run away even though they were scared. The last time they ran away to avoid conscription made them realize that it was not feasible to just take benefits without doing anything, and if they could successfully defend the gate like last time, the final benefits would be huge.

This time, Maple Leaf Territory was called up again. Looking at the densely packed soldiers standing on the city wall, Lin Xingchen still felt very emotional. After all, not everyone has the courage to face life and death.

"Young Master, thanks to the stamping machine developed by you and the goblins, we can now basically make everyone wear full body armor. Of course, the consumption of steel is also relatively large." Albert introduced some of the situations in the army to Lin Xingchen.

"We have an overall advantage in terms of weapons and equipment, and we have not slacked off in the past year and have been conducting drills all the time."

"Lin, Albert told me that he believes the Empire will not give up, so he has been preparing for this day all year." Luke's words were actually to ask for credit for Albert.

"Albert's efforts will naturally not be ignored. Similarly, everyone has seen your hard work, uncle. This time the empire will not just do a small fight. I wonder if you have any other ideas, Albert." Lin Xingchen was not one of those who could defend himself while taking a beating. He had considered several ways to turn passivity into initiative.

"Master, please follow me to the tent!"

“Master, I have actually thought about this as well. It is very difficult to just defend because you don’t know when the Empire will attack again.

So my plan is to send out the most elite troops and go to the gate of the empire, the Teke Province. As long as we intercept the food and supplies of the imperial army, we can win the battle. "It is obvious that Albert has done a lot of homework, and he has talked to Lin Xingchen about several plans one after another.

"Albert, your plans are good. I wonder if you have ever thought about changing your thinking. Our national strength is not as good as that of the Empire. That's because we cannot afford to fail, whether in terms of population or combat power.

What I mean is that this time we successfully repelled the Empire's attack, and then you led the army to clean up the principalities around our kingdom, using the big to bully the small to occupy those principalities at the lowest cost and then enhance the kingdom's war potential. Do you think it's feasible?"

"Master, if we do this, it will be no different from what the empire does!" Albert found it difficult to accept such a proposal.

"Albert: There is no eternal peace between countries. As long as one side is strong enough to overwhelm the other, the weaker side will always have to worry.

Do you think those principalities are not worried? They are also worried that once we are destroyed, it will be their turn. Instead of that, why not make them part of ourselves in advance! I know that my paradox is ridiculous, but this is a way for us to become stronger in a short period of time. Only when our war potential is enough to compete with the Empire will they take us seriously. "

"Master, what you said may be right, but I really cannot accept such a task. I will guard the gate of Maple Leaf Territory to prevent the empire from invading, but I may not be able to meet your final request." After pondering for a long time, Albert still rejected Lin Xingchen's proposal.

"Everyone has the right to choose. I'm proud of you for not letting go of your obsession. Just do your own thing! We'll talk about the future later." Lin Xingchen was not angry. It didn't matter if others were unwilling to do these things. At most, he could let the Duke of Leicester do it.

After resting for three days, the imperial army deployed its battle formation. Without any unnecessary words, the army began to advance step by step following the sound of trumpets.

The 300,000-strong army was stretched out in a continuous line, and all that could be seen were tents and heads. Many military nobles had already reached the Maple Leaf Territory.

They were not panicked when seeing such a scene. After all, as the defending side, they had a huge advantage.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister and gentlemen, Albert's plan can be said to be very complete. If there is nothing else to add, then we will officially implement it." Albert explained his tactical thinking to everyone, and then Lin Xingchen helped him summarize that although he had a noble title, he lacked some foundation.

"You are in full charge of the war and we will only provide you with absolute support. I trust the people you selected, because you have proved with facts that your vision is always accurate." The praise from Her Majesty the Queen was very useful.

"Everyone, I would like to propose an idea here. Please consider it and see if it is feasible." Then he repeated the plan he had proposed to Albert.

"If we have the resources and population of these places, our national strength can reach a new level in a short period of time. And as long as we are fast enough and integrate those areas in the shortest possible time, we will have the strength to talk to the empire. At that time, the kingdom can be changed into an empire, and you can also become nobles of the empire from nobles of a kingdom."

Lin Xingchen was like a devil at this moment, constantly fooling the people present with all kinds of bright prospects. There was only one word difference between a kingdom and an empire, but there was a world of difference between them. Many people fell for such a big promise he made.

For Lydia, this was an irresistible pie, and Frank also found it difficult to refuse the sense of accomplishment of being in charge of the kingdom and the empire.

And those nobles will have no sense of responsibility. With larger territories, greater power and more wealth, they will only be supporters rather than opponents.

"Lin, what do you think the chances of success of your proposal are?" Lydia used honorifics without realizing it.

"Your Majesty, I have roughly calculated that if our four routes set out simultaneously and our speed is fast enough, our success rate can be greatly improved. As long as we carry out the subsequent construction as planned, we can keep up with the 70% chance of success." Lin Xingchen did not just speak out without thinking. He also estimated some things before making the suggestion.

"Your Majesty, as long as we can accumulate enough strength, it won't be an empty talk for us to counterattack the empire at that time."
