Chapter 511 I have no relation to the Wang family
The city of Lay was destroyed by the tsunami. Of the Rakshasa people inside the city and the Orc army outside, less than one in ten survived. The remaining manpower was insufficient to control this ancient and vast land.
After Sophie and Elder Hines of the temple cautiously went to examine the ruins of Lai City, they finally confirmed that it was the work of the sea people.
The Temple didn't understand why the sea creatures, who had always maintained neutrality, would suddenly help fight the orcs, but this was clearly an opportunity. They sent envoys to Hania to discuss forming an alliance to jointly attack the Rakshasa and the orcish coalition.
"Our Queen only wanted Prince Sauron to experience the power of water firsthand; she had no intention of declaring war on the orcs. Please don't take it too seriously."
“...Sorren...Prince?…”
The female official in charge of foreign affairs from the sea tribe proudly said, "Yes, Your Majesty, although Prince Soren is only a few months old, his affinity with water is already evident. Her Majesty the Queen is currently focused on teaching the prince and has no time for such trivial matters!"
The temple's messenger, a seasoned knight commander, was visibly flustered upon hearing this. The sea queen already had an heir? And it seemed the heir was quite talented; this was a major event.
When the messenger reported the matter to Elder Ashif, the elder inquired in detail about what had happened, even scrutinizing every word the lady-in-waiting uttered.
"Prepare a generous gift; I will personally go to congratulate this... prince!"
Unlike the others in the temple, Ashif was qualified to access all the records about the Sea People, and he knew the real reason why the Sea People withdrew from the Mediterranean a hundred years ago.
The Mermaid Royal Family has not had a male descendant for hundreds of years. Without male descendants, it is very difficult for the Mermaid Royal Family to awaken a super-level powerhouse. Over the past hundreds of years, as the older generation of powerful sea creatures have gradually aged, the sea creatures have lost their status as the overlords of the Mediterranean.
Several years ago, Empress Shia appeared out of nowhere, and the Temple already felt a great threat. Now, another male has been born, and his mother is still Empress Shia, a super-powerful being.
Ashif suddenly felt an immense headache. He knew that Shia was pregnant, but he hadn't expected it to be a boy. After all, there had been a problem with the sea tribe's bloodline, and they hadn't had a boy for many years.
The "Millennium Covenant" is about to expire, and a dark master has emerged among the vampires. The relationship between the Rakshasa and the orcs has changed from enslavement to close cooperation. Is the catastrophe of a thousand years ago about to repeat itself?
The congratulatory delegation from the temple arrived in Hania with great pomp and circumstance, a ship full of gifts representing their sincere goodwill.
Grand Elder Ashif had a friendly high-level dialogue with Queen Shia. As the visit was about to end, Ashif finally met the second most important person in the Sea Clan, His Highness Prince Soren!
"Your Highness... truly exceptional talent!" Ashif exclaimed, feeling the strong water power emanating from the little fellow.
"That's for sure. Little Sauron is the most talented royal in the sea race in the last hundred years, even more so than I was back then!"
“…”
The several sea creature female officials serving around her secretly curled their lip. "You, Shia, still have the nerve to talk about your talent back then? It was terrible, utterly terrible, okay? If it weren't for…"
"Hehe! I wonder where Prince Soren's father is now? I would very much like to pay him a visit if I have the time!"
Ashif asked the question seemingly casually, but in fact, this question had been lingering in his mind for a long time. The Temple had mobilized countless people to find that person.
Queen Shia's usually calm face showed a mixture of emotions—hatred, annoyance, and delight—"His father... I don't even know if he has time right now!"
At the former site of the Dayuan Protectorate in the Western Regions, Qin Mo was dealing with several familiar guard commanders with a headache.
"Hey Yuanzhi! Have you lost your mind or what? Why do you insist on becoming the Protector-General of the Kangju Protectorate?"
“Uncle Heng Wang! You are the local emperor of thousands of miles around! Why shouldn’t I be the one? The Rakshasa coalition has begun to retreat, and this position is very sought after now.”
"Local emperor? Dream on! You have the Protector-General above you, you can't be a local emperor in the city! As for outside the city, the traces of the Legion of the Dead have been seen in Kangju these days, your position is not easy to hold."
"That's why I've come to you, Uncle, for help! If you just give me a little bit of support, hehehe!"
Qin Yuanzhi smiled obsequiously, which angered Qin Mo so much that she kicked him again. Ever since he helped the Da Yuan army when fighting the Jin army and the Xu Ri army outside Lan Clan City, Qin Yuanzhi had been clinging to Qin Mo and insisted on getting involved with this Prince Heng.
The Great Xia court has issued an edict to establish protectorates in Kangju and Dayuezhi in the north and south of the Western Regions, officially bringing these two vast lands under the rule of Great Xia, which can be considered as expanding the territory of Great Xia to the west by two thousand miles.
Qin Mo looked down on the barren land of the Western Regions, but not everyone had a large territory like Qin Mo. Many passionate nobles and officials of the Great Xia Dynasty were eager to serve under the two Protectorates.
Today's nobody may one day become a great power in the Western Regions. Weren't the Wang family of Longxi pioneers like this hundreds of years ago?
The Russian coalition forces began to retreat in stages a few days ago for unknown reasons, but their legion of the dead remained, still threatening the security of the Silk Road. The protectors of the Protectorate are responsible for suppressing bandits.
Qin Yuanzhi came here today seeking help. Having witnessed Qin Mo's new firearms, their fear of the Undead Legion had been reduced to a minimum.
“Yuanzhi! You are, after all, the imperial family’s private army. It’s fine if I give you a small amount of firearms as a gift, but if you want to purchase them regularly, it will inevitably cause controversy. You know I hate trouble!”
“…”
Are you afraid of attracting criticism? Are you afraid of trouble? You're practically ready to rebel and seize power, and you still know what fear is?
"Uncle, I've already taken office... could you please give me some pointers?"
"Ahem... I heard that a Wang's Workshop recently opened. They have some pretty good stuff, like... hand grenades!"
"Wang's Workshop? Which Wang's?"
"Cough cough...cough cough..." Fu Qingyun, who was sitting next to Qin Yuanzhi, tugged at him, signaling him to stop asking questions.
Qin Yuanzhi also came to his senses and said repeatedly, "I understand... I understand..."
"Understand what? Let me tell you, Wang's Workshop has nothing to do with me!"
"Yes, yes, it's alright, it's alright!"
At this moment, a servant entered and reported: "Your Highness, Lord Xu of Suyab City requests an audience!"
“…”
"...Please come quickly!"
Qin Yuanzhi and Fu Qingyun immediately took their leave, and when they encountered Madam Xu, they quickly bowed and greeted her.
"Brother Fu, my uncle said it's no big deal! But this is the Empress's own mother! He's going to be the Empress's brother-in-law!"
"That's hard to say. The women that Prince Heng prefers are quite different. Did you see that woman from the temple that day?" Qin Yuanzhi looked around to make sure no one was watching, then turned into a gossip and explained to Fu Qingyun.
Fu Qingyun understood immediately, nodded knowingly, and the two walked away side by side, whispering to each other.
