In early May, the Sibiya Empire experienced fine weather for more than ten consecutive days, which brought joy to the fields. In the three provinces under the jurisdiction of the Keda family, the continuous farmland was nourished by fertile soil.

The crops are ripe!

This means that the only obstacle restricting the advance of the Keda family has disappeared.

The difference from before is that the border at this time is completely closed, and anyone trying to cross the border will be intercepted and killed by the border guards. Therefore, not much information about the Al Qaeda family's food harvest has been leaked, although all parties have the ability to rely on it.

Some sporadic information has deduced the harvest of the Keda family, but this information is not enough to determine the exact date of the entry of the Keda family's army. This is because there is also a process of processing and transportation.

The farmers are not stingy with their physical strength and are working hard to harvest in the farmland, shedding their hard work and sweat, in exchange for a warehouse full of harvests. The logistics system of the three provinces is extremely efficient after being combined. With the cooperation of officials from various places, the first batch of

The harvested grain is immediately sent to the workshop for processing, the bags are marked with "military ration", and then they are continuously transported to the front line.

The size and completeness of this transportation team cannot be compared with that of other family forces. The Al Qaeda family has 150,000 troops participating in the war in three directions, and the logistics system dispatched a total of 50,000 logistics personnel.

The logistics officials who escorted the transportation, like the peasants under them, chewed rough food made from cassava and sweated while transporting the cartloads of hard-earned food on the road.

The materials transported to the front line are not only food, but also a large number of other war baggage, weapons from the weapons workshop, siege equipment transferred from the secret training ground, first aid medicines transported from the dark forest plantation...

…In addition, there were teams of special soldiers and witch doctors. On all the trade roads leading to the front line, the advancing transport teams completely occupied the roads.

In addition to the intelligence personnel and heralds, the only people returning were the cavalry of the two princes - Prince Lek Keda and Prince Shifta Keda. They had just met with His Majesty the Emperor and were on a mission to go into the darkness.

On the way to the city.

Very different from the princes of other empires, these two young princes were both born in the military. They had already achieved the rank of major general in the army in their early years. Because of their family tradition, they were also far more proficient in internal affairs than ordinary people, so here they

During the war, Prince Lek will be fully responsible for logistics deployment, while Prince Shifta will be responsible for the wartime management of the occupied areas.

None of this is an easy job, and only someone who is proficient in both military and internal affairs can do it well. It seems that Cohen has chosen the right person this time.

After arriving at the Governor's Mansion in the Dark City, Prince Visu Kedar met them immediately.

Because the grain harvest went very smoothly, Prince Weisu was in high spirits, and the entire internal affairs system was also very excited. Officials were busy and unhurried, and most people actually had time to count the days on their fingers to see when their army would be ready.

Conquer the Holy City.

"Sit down!" Seeing his son coming into the room, Prince Weisu quickly finished what he was doing: "You have already met with Cohen! Are you okay?"

"Yes, father, everything is fine, and Cohen's spirit is also good." Prince Lectra replied respectfully: "How can I put it this way! The feeling Cohen gave me... he has changed too much."

"Everyone has to change, so why don't you?" Prince Weisu smiled: "Besides, in our big family, there are only one such fickle child, not many."

"Father, we received the mission from Cohen." Prince Shifta sat across from Weisu: "Time is too tight, the reserve officials should set off."

Weisu nodded and took out two scrolls and gave them to Prince Shifta.

"This is the list of reserve officials. You can go to various ministries to recommend people at any time. You can use the people on the blue scroll with confidence." Prince Weisu whispered to his son: "But you have to be careful with the people on the red scroll. Then

They are reserve officers of the academy. Due to time constraints, they have not been screened by the intelligence system. They have no military background themselves and graduated directly from the academy. We still don’t know if there are any among these people.

Spies. The date of the army's march is top secret. If someone leaks the official dispatch time, this date will be known to the enemy."

"I understand the importance of this matter." Prince Shifta lowered his head and thought about it, and came up with a solution: "As for the academy officials, I will let them concentrate first, saying that they have been trained before the war. When they

When I realized it, I had already taken office."

"Your method is good... huh?" After thinking about it, Prince Weisu was a little surprised: "Why is Cohen's march forward so urgent? Do you need so many people at once?"

Prince Lek and Prince Shifta looked at each other and smiled.

"Father, don't you know Cohen? This guy is not satisfied with ordinary war methods at all." Prince Lectra smiled and explained his father's confusion: "This time he sent some foreign minister out first. Although the war has not started yet,

But Cohen has actually taken several cities."

"The one he took in...is named Lip?" Prince Weisu suddenly realized: "I just said that he would not take in a useless person, and he also asked me to teach this person his social skills."

"That's right, the foreign minister's mouth is more powerful than ten thousand people. By the time we left, Lip had already captured five cities." Prince Shifta added at the side: "These five cities are even more powerful than ten thousand people."

We are in a line and rely on each other. We have carefully calculated that if we attack by force, there will be at least 5,000 casualties. Adding battle expenses, pensions, post-war reconstruction, etc., we will have to spend 300,000 gold coins. But now, we only

It only cost 50,000 gold coins to win it, and most importantly, it avoided the loss of personnel."

"In my opinion, these are not the only benefits of this matter." Weisu tapped his fingers on the table, and then stood up excitedly: "Okay! Well done, Cohen's performance is becoming more and more mature.

Already."

"Yes! We almost don't recognize each other anymore." Prince Lectra complained: "Although Cohen treats us very warmly, I can't find the shadow of him when he was a child. That little guy who always seemed very reckless at any time, in my heart

I really miss it!”

"What about you?" Weisu turned to look at Prince Shifta.

"Me? I'm just not used to people calling me His Royal Highness." Hearing his father's question, the sturdy Prince Shifta was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "This change in identity is really big, let me

I was a little caught off guard.”

"Are you not ready? It should be said that none of us are ready." Weisu stepped forward and patted his son on the shoulder: "Cohen is like this, I am like this, and you are like this too. But what can we do?

?When things come to a close, why don’t we just bite the bullet and shut the door?”

The two princes seemed to have communicated on this issue. After hearing what their father said, they both nodded.

"We have also thought about it. Although this is caused by a series of unfortunate things, we will do our best in the future." Prince Lectra replied: "Father, you can rest assured about our responsibilities. We are confident that we can complete this task well."

everything."

"Yeah! I'm good at things that have something to do with military affairs." Prince Shifta always followed his elder brother: "As for the relationship with Cohen, we will get used to it gradually. We are not the emperor's brothers in other empires.

, thinking about seizing the throne all day long."

"You can clearly see this, which shows your progress." Weisu replied happily: "Actually! You, all of us, and everyone who works for Cohen, this is Cohen's biggest help. As long as we

Unity without exclusivity, constantly attracting outstanding talents, and constantly building a solid foundation for Cohen, then Cohen will be able to do things that his predecessors could not do on this basis."

Prince Shifta smiled and scratched his head in embarrassment: "I never thought about this..."

"Cohen is a very special person. This is true. His methods and strategies have his own characteristics. His words and deeds are often unexpected, leaving people with no way to defend themselves." Weisu sat down with a smile and approached the two.

A son: "But you cannot ignore your own role, and Cohen has not ignored your importance. It can be said that all of us are a whole, a sharp sword! And Cohen, he is the tip of our sword."

"I understand!" Prince Shifta clapped his hands: "The better we perform from behind, the greater the lethality Cohen will bring to the enemy!"

"That's the truth, simple, right?" Wei Su nodded and said, "But many people don't understand this. Their snobbish eyes only see the glory of the emperor, but they can't see the responsibility and dedication hidden under the glory of the emperor.

. Thinking more deeply, Cohen is a kind man, and it is difficult for him to be the emperor. Whenever he makes a decision, the process is very difficult, and sometimes he has to choose between hurting others and hurting himself.

"

"Will it be so painful?" Rick asked with his eyes wide open.

"The reason why Cohen refused to be emperor before was because he saw this." A bitter smile appeared on Weisu's face: "But in this situation, it is not his turn to refuse. It can also be said that he did it for all of us.

Decided to be this emperor. And every time others call him His Majesty, it adds another scar to his heart, so you two brothers should call him Cohen when no one else is around to give him some warmth."

The two princes cared deeply about their little brother and nodded repeatedly.

"As long as you understand! I can't say these words to other officials." Weisu sighed: "You two are princes, Cohen's only two relatives of the same generation. No one can replace your special status, and only

You can do this."

"Understood, father, we will try our best to take care of Cohen."

"As for your subordinates, they must be strictly controlled. Cohen and I have discussed it many times. We must curb the emergence of factions in the internal affairs system, and we cannot allow a good management agency to spawn various factions." He said.

When it came time to get down to business, Weisu put away his smile: "Cohen will handle the military side personally, and we will handle the internal affairs side. We must completely eliminate this tendency! The officials below cannot see so far, and they can't think.

It's so deep, so explanations and persuasion alone are useless. Once discovered, take action immediately!"

"Yes!" The two princes stood up at the same time and answered their father loudly.

"Lick, Siftah, you are Cohen's brothers. This unchangeable identity is destined to pay more than others. I am your father. My greatest hope is that the three of you understand each other better and support each other.

"Weisu took the hands of his two sons and said with sincerity: "Cohen is working very hard. It doesn't matter if you give him more care and show it in any way. Cohen is very smart and he can feel it. Several of Cohen's wives and I have already

After discussing it, we tried our best to create a warm atmosphere for him."

"Okay, I'll pay attention."

"Go and see your mother, we will have dinner later." After giving the business instructions, Wei Su said with a smile: "You haven't met the four imperial concubines yet, have you? We will meet in the evening, so we can't be rude."

"Know."

That night, the two princes met with their fiancées and four internal affairs supervisors, and finalized a series of urgent official affairs at the dinner table. Before the last dessert was served, several major events directly related to the success or failure of the war had already occurred.

The matter was successfully resolved through the mediation of the Prime Minister.

Everything about the royal family is so special, even the dining table seems destined to carry more things than the dining table of ordinary people.

Before dawn the next day, hundreds of reserve local officials waiting at the Royal Academy received an order from Dean Steve Lorenzo, saying that in order to allow everyone to better complete their mission, they were to go somewhere for a period of time.

One month of military and government training.

The reserve officials didn't waste any time and immediately boarded the carriage. In a glimmer of light, the convoy left the Dark City.

But during the march, no one was allowed to get off the carriage, and even the windows were not allowed to be opened. One day after departure, a cavalry team met up with the convoy. There were officers standing next to each other distributing drawings and materials to the officials in the carriage. The reserve officials looked at

With the drawings in my hands, I realized that I was not training, but on my way to take office.

On the third day, the huge convoy met up with the convoys of reserve officials from various ministries and divisions. After arriving at the border, it was divided into several parts and headed to different areas.

"Has the war against rebellion already begun?" someone asked the accompanying officer after leaving his province.

"Of course, the war started two days ago!" the officer replied proudly, pointing to the blurry smoke pillars on the horizon: "Look! That's the rebels' alarm smoke, reporting the death of their master.
