"Men, open the city gates and let our friends from the Holy Glory Empire enter!"
The people of the Holy Glory Empire were actually quite nervous, but upon hearing this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Quan Qingchi excitedly leaned close to Quan Ji's ear and gave her a human-powered 3D surround sound effect: "Wow, I never thought this method would actually work... Sis, you're amazing, I admire you so much!"
Quan Ji smiled and shook her head: "In the face of absolute strength, any struggle is just delaying one's own death. Give them a false impression, make them both wary and expectant of us, so that we can take advantage of their weakness."
"You still have a lot to learn in the future."
In war, it's not just about strength, but also about strategy.
If other teams can succeed as smoothly as they have, they too can pass through the level quietly without losing a single soldier and eventually reach Qingquan City.
That will be the real battle.
Quan Ji and Quan Qingchi led their team to successfully enter Ruocheng.
The city lord and generals all came up with professional fake smiles, offering pre-arranged pleasantries.
"Now that you have arrived in our Ruocheng and have no hostile intentions, we in the city will naturally give you a heartfelt welcome. You must be tired from your long journey... Do you need any supplies?"
Quan Ji glanced at the city lord of Ruocheng and knew that he was a million times unwilling.
She smiled slightly and said, "Alright, we've been traveling for a long time and are indeed tired... If we want to meet the King of Qingquan, we naturally have to take care of our appearance. Being hungry, thin, tired, or sleepy will affect the friendship between our two countries. So, I'll trouble the city lord to find us lodging and arrange dinner."
As soon as Quan Ji said this, the city lord of Ruocheng, whose face had been wearing a professional fake smile just a second ago, froze, gradually turned dark, and his smile became more and more forced.
"Ah, this..."
Quan Ji raised her voice and asked, "What, is there a problem? Does the Qingquan Empire not welcome us and want to fight to the end?"
As she spoke, a golden light condensed in Quan Ji's hand, summoning Brahma.
If the city lord was dumbfounded, he would quickly wave his hands and say, "Ah, no, no, no, how could that be? I'll make arrangements right away, I'll make arrangements right away... If you don't mind, you can stay at my city lord's mansion."
It can save you a lot of money.
Making him pay for the lodging and meals of his country's enemies, and so many of them at that, is simply suffocating!
He felt so frustrated!
But what's the use?
He was nothing more than a weak, pitiful, and helpless little city lord.
However, this money is being spent for the peace of the empire, and it must be reimbursed in the future. The king must return the money to him!
The sea knows when the fish cries, but who knows when the city lord cries?
Everything is for the Qingquan Empire!
...
So Quan Ji and the others moved into the city lord's mansion without any hesitation.
There were about a few dozen people; the rest were accommodated in various restaurants.
When they walked onto the streets of Ruocheng, the people of Ruocheng were still very afraid of them.
It was as if I had seen a demon.
After all, the images of the two cities being razed to the ground just two days ago were still vivid in their minds. They were not powerful figures, but just innocent civilians.
They will be afraid, they will be wary.
They fear that the Holy Empire will unleash its power at any moment, turning their long-standing home into a scene of carnage.
Those who fear the Holy Glory Empire will soon descend into chaos in the city, indiscriminately killing and slaughtering, and themselves, or their family and friends, will fall into misfortune.
These reactions are all normal.
This is the attitude of the weak towards the strong.
Everyone held a grand banquet.
If the city lord arranged for the best chefs from the city's best restaurants to entertain the "guests" from the Holy Glory Empire who had traveled a long way.
One table after another, filled with all sorts of exquisite dishes; even Quan Ji had never tasted anything so good.
If the city lord's wallet is bleeding.
He sat on a seat with Quan Ji, his face contorted in pain. He clutched his chest, trying to be strong and persevere—if this little difficulty could defeat him, what would he do in the future?
Anyway, all of this money can be reimbursed!
The people of the Holy Glory Empire were also eating so well for the first time, and they all had a great appetite. They were wolfing down their food as if they hadn't eaten for hundreds of years, which startled the city lord and generals so much that they didn't dare to touch their utensils.
The general whispered in the city lord's ear, "This is the first time I've ever seen people like this. Were the Holy Glory Empire so poor they couldn't afford to eat? Did they even eat people?!"
The city lord was on the verge of tears.
Don't fucking say it's your first time meeting him, even he's meeting him for the first time.
Is this a reincarnation of a starving ghost?
Do you people from the Holy Glory Empire really not mind spending other people's money at all?
Don't you feel any remorse at all?!
He was internally devastated, but he still had to put on a smile:
"It's just a small...nothing. Don't panic. It would make our Qingquan Empire look ignorant."
"We are now the hope of the Qingquan Empire. The image of the Qingquan Empire rests on our shoulders. We absolutely cannot lose our composure, understand?"
The general nodded solemnly.
He glanced again at the ravenous soldiers of the Holy Glory Army.
That's terrifying... Won't they really eat people?!
However, what they didn't realize was that their every move was being watched by Princess Quan.
Quan Ji shouted at the top of her lungs:
"Our Holy Glory Empire and the Qingquan Empire, such powerful nations, are about to cease hostilities in exchange for peace between our two countries. How come there's not even a cup of wine? Brothers, do you want to drink?"
