"Just ask!"
Shia has the face and slender figure of a minor, but the mermaid royal family only comes of age at thirty-six, so she is indeed much older than Kai. However, when Kai-hime married Qin Mo, Shia wasn't even a personal maid yet! The two argued endlessly over the position of elder sister.
"Neither of you should call the other 'sister,' it's giving me a headache. Hurry up and serve me my meal, and then, Shia, tell me what's going on with the enemy situation here!"
After Master Qin Mo gave the order, the two women immediately resumed their former roles as personal maids, serving rice, picking up dishes, and pouring wine, finally making Qin Mo feel comfortable for a while.
"Shia, the Abbasid Caliphate isn't a small place, but it's not a huge one either. Just how many men has the Legion of the Dead committed that's causing you trouble?"
“My lord, we didn’t notice their presence at first, and by the time we were attacked, it was too late. I estimate that at least five thousand people crossed the Zacros Mountains and entered the desert region through the Mesopotamian Plain. Most of them were undead knights and undead orcs.”
"I once went into the desert to search for them, but they had scattered into small teams of about a hundred men each. I only managed to kill three teams before losing track of them. At the same time, my base camp on the Mesopotamian plain was attacked by them, and I suffered heavy losses..."
With a frown, Shia explained the situation in detail to Qin Mo, and Qin Mo finally understood Shia's predicament.
The plains of Mesopotamia are the most fertile and densely populated areas in this land. Shia's main force of vassal armies usually stays there for supplies. If Shia leaves the base camp for a long time, the Legion of the Dead will concentrate its forces to launch a strong attack. If Shia stays at the base camp, the enemy will disperse and harass other tribes.
"Now my brave cavalrymen are starting to lose their will to fight; the undead knights that can't be killed in half a day are terrifying to them."
"I understand. Tomorrow I'll divide my marines into groups and then coordinate with your men to conduct a dragnet search in the desert. By the way, have you gathered the sea creature experts I requested? I don't have many cultivators in my unit, and I'm afraid we won't be able to handle an emergency!"
"My people will arrive tomorrow, but I'm warning you, don't even think about taking advantage of them!!"
“…”
"Shia, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm not that kind of person!"
"Hmph! You know whether it's true or not!"
The next day, twenty beautiful women from the mermaid royal family arrived at Johor Bahru Port, and Qin Mo finally understood what Shia meant.
Qin Mo wouldn't make a move on them, but they're the ones making a move on Qin Mo!
What should we do?
