Although it is said that defeating all laws with one force is the ultimate pursuit of a warrior.
But warriors cannot avoid fights with people of the same level. When hard power is not enough to defeat people of the same level, skill is the key.
Lin Ze made up his mind that after this battle, he would go to the Dao Palace to ask for some powerful control secrets and long-range attack secrets.
Lin Ze thought that something like the sword-controlling god Lei Yin was very good. It was very powerful and full of character.
There are also magic spells written silently by magicians, which Lin Ze also plans to study.
Lin Ze, who easily wiped out an army of magicians that day, felt that magic was useless, especially since many magics relied on magic stones, which seemed very useless.
After seeing Mo Daofu's magic, Lin Ze felt that it was not that the magic was useless, but that he had not learned enough from what he had encountered before.
…
Lin Ze felt that Mo Daofu was a bit difficult to deal with, but Mo Daofu felt that Lin Ze was very perverted.
No matter what type of holy magic he used, attack type, control type, curse type, etc., he used them all. What was the result?
Not to mention that I couldn't defeat him, I didn't even hurt him at all.
Mo Daofu's mood is a bit broken at the moment, how can he continue to fight?
But he did not dare to make any arbitrary decisions and order a retreat. This time, the Byzantine Empire spent countless manpower and material resources in order to expand its territory.
If he returns without success, Modoofu will find it difficult to face the emperor who has given him such a heavy responsibility.
Another point is that Moldoff is not the commander-in-chief of this army, and he has no authority to order the withdrawal.
And that commander was a hawk who pushed hard to expand the empire's territory. It was absolutely impossible to retreat until the army showed absolute decline.
For a time, the Byzantine army fell into an embarrassing situation. If they fought, they might not be able to defeat them, but they couldn't leave.
They could only station themselves outside Longyou City, waiting for a good opportunity. Even the commander hinted to Mo Daofu countless times to block Lin Ze longer so that he could lead his army to attack the city.
The timid and cautious Mo Daofu simply pretended not to understand the commander's hint and still focused on saving his life. If that didn't work, he used the scroll to hold Lin Ze for a while so that the army could retreat.
…
Before Lin Ze found a way to deal with Modolf, he never thought of giving up the advantage of the city wall and letting the Qin army go to the desert to fight to the death with the Byzantine army.
The two sides had a tacit understanding and maintained relative peace.
With his free time, Lin Ze devoted his energy to studying magic, trying to find a way to deal with Moldoff.
According to the oral accounts of those magicians, there are nine levels of ordinary magic, and the level of a magician is defined by the level at which he can cast magic.
There are four levels from low to high: Those who are proficient in level one to level three magic are called junior magicians.
Those who can use fourth to sixth level magic are intermediate magicians.
Those who can use seventh to ninth level magic and control flying are considered advanced magicians.
Holy level magicians naturally master magic beyond the ninth level. I heard that holy level magicians can already cast magic without using a wand.
The legion of magicians who followed the Byzantine army this time were all high-level magicians, because only high-level magicians could master the art of flying.
With such a group of high-level magicians here, what Lin Ze is most in need of right now is magic spells.
The magician captured by Lin Ze had already wiped out his entire family under Wu Fan's horrific punishment.
In the Sheriff's Mansion, Lin Ze snapped his fingers, and a wisp of flame immediately appeared in front of him. To outsiders, the scene looked a bit magical.
What Lin Ze was thinking was that if future generations knew this kind of magic, the lighter seller would probably go bankrupt.
At this moment, Han Xin and Qian Yuan hurried over and bowed to Lin Ze: "The last general (subordinate) pays homage to the Marquis."
Lin Ze looked at the slightly anxious expressions of the two people and asked slowly: "Why are you so panicked?"
Han Xin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The food and grass have arrived."
"But it only lasts for three months," Qianyuan added.
Three months' expenses? Lin Ze's face immediately darkened. Every time he asked for food and grass, he was accustomed to asking for one year's expenses to avoid such a troublesome thing as running out of food.
Lin Ze didn't expect that at such a juncture, there would be someone holding him back in Chang'an?
It is a long way from Chang'an to the Western Regions. Although the Qin State has a direct road for transporting grain and troops, it would take at least a month to transport grain there on a large scale.
If the war in the Western Region is uncertain, is it possible for me to apply for food adjustments every two months?
"What's going on? What did the grain transport officer say?" Lin Ze asked in a deep voice.
Qianyuan immediately replied: "The grain transport officer said it was the Prime Minister's order. There are two reasons. First, the imperial court sent out troops to conquer the rebels one after another, which consumed huge amounts of national treasury reserves. Moreover, most of the provinces in the world were unable to pay tribute due to wars, which led to the inability to make ends meet.
We can’t raise much food and grass at once.”
"Second, the Marquis is unrivaled in his military skills and martial arts. He will definitely pacify the Western Regions within three months. If we return to the court, we will transport too many troops at once. Then the Marquis will have to bring people back again. It will be too troublesome to come back all the time."
"What did Zhao Gao say?" Lin Ze said with murderous intent: "In my opinion, this Zhao Gao is probably tired of living. He is scheming against me and trying to fool me with such childish excuses. He deserves to be damned."
Han Xin Qianyuan smiled bitterly, pretending that he didn't hear what Lin Ze said. After all, Zhao Gao was the prime minister of the Qin State. As a champion prince, Lin Ze had a noble status and could just scold him. They couldn't do it.
"What did your Majesty say?" Lin Ze suddenly asked.
He was thinking, if Zhao Gao did this, why would Hu Hai pay attention?
Lin Ze absolutely did not believe that Hu Hai would not understand the importance of food and grass to a large army. Hu Hai was sometimes a bit ignorant, but he was not a fool.
Han Xin and Qian Yuan looked at each other, how could they know what Hu Hai said.
Upon seeing this, Lin Ze knew that he had asked the wrong person, so he ordered the guard outside his door: "Go and ask Wu Fan to come over, and by the way, notify Chen Ping to come to our court to discuss matters."
The two guards bowed to Lin Ze and left.
Soon, Chen Ping and Wu Fan came to Lin Ze.
Lin Ze asked Qian Yuan to explain the situation he encountered, then touched the non-existent beard under his chin and said: "Two things. Wu Fan immediately contacted the Jin Yiwei in Chang'an. I want to know what happened in Chang'an during this period."
Weird things, such as the presence of a peerless powerful man."
"Second, Chen Ping sent a letter to Your Majesty on behalf of this Marquis. The words were a little more intense, asking him if he didn't have enough food and grass. Did he expect his soldiers to go hungry to pacify the world for him?"
Wu Fan took over the first task issued by Lin Ze, resigned, and with his men, began to sort out the intelligence of Chang'an during this period.
Chen Ping was a little hesitant: "Uncle, are these words too intense? Nephew is afraid that Your Majesty will think too much."
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "Whether it's intense or not, you will still think more about what you should think about."
"Now that someone has handed over the claw, what we have to consider is how to chop the claw cleanly so that others don't dare to raise the claw again."
"Otherwise, once this example comes out, all the officials in the court will think that I am easy to bully, and there will be endless troubles in the future."
Lin Ze has seen too many people who underestimate others and support others. As the champion of the Qin Dynasty, he must not give the impression that he is easy to bully.
Only by fighting back fiercely can peace be maintained.
So this time, if there were no unexpected flowers, Zhao Gao would be dead.
Lin Ze said that even if Hu Hai comes, he won't be able to keep him.
Chen Ping thought for a while, then stopped trying to persuade him and went to write the document with peace of mind.
Lin Ze glanced in the direction of Chang'an with some annoyance, and there was something wrong.
You said that it would be fine if the world was peaceful. Now that wars are raging and it is even more important to unite as one, there are still people who have different intentions?
