"Your subordinates, do you mean them?" Tarantot glanced at Wei Suyao and the others.
"Not only them, but the people who are traveling with me this time, such as the soldiers of the Principality of Cheryl, they are all under my control now." Zhou Xingyun said lightly, emphasizing the soldiers of the Principality of Cheryl, but did not mention the people of Paradise.
Tarantote thought for a while and agreed to Zhou Xingyun.
He did not hit the smiling person with his hand and did not scold the gift-giver. Although Tarantot disliked Zhou Xingyun, he did capture Harbor City and actively cooperated with him to hand over Harbor City.
Zhou Xingyun's request to retain the troops under his command was reasonable.
Zhou Xingyun led the troops to capture Harbor City, which was undoubtedly a great achievement. Tarantot could not deprive Zhou Xingyun of his management rights and military power as soon as he arrived at Harbor City. Wouldn't this be heartbreaking?
Tarantot may not care about Zhou Xingyun's feelings, but he must care about the soldiers of the Principality of Cheryl. If he takes back Zhou Xingyun's authority for no reason, what will the soldiers of the Principality of Cheryl think?
Not only were they not rewarded for their meritorious service, but they were also unreasonably demoted. Who would work for the empire?
There is another important reason why Tarantot is too lazy to recruit Zhou Xingyun's army, and that is that the soldiers of the Principality of Cheryl cannot compare with the Titan Thunder Army of the Great Empire. They will be out of touch during battles and cannot keep up with the rhythm of the elite soldiers.
It is true that Tarantote would be very happy if the beautiful experts around Zhou Xingyun could be incorporated into the team. Unfortunately, they are all Zhou Xingyun's people and cannot listen to his orders.
In this way, without thinking too much, Tarantot agreed to Zhou Xingyun and allowed him to keep his army.
"Lord Tarantot! He is truly the Thunder God Emperor of the Esilans Empire, Lord General Tarantot! Lord Tarantot is known as the Sky of Esilans, and today I saw that he is truly magnificent and lives up to his reputation!"
Hundreds of people gathered at the entrance and exit of the Harbor City Pier to the city streets. As soon as Zhou Xingyun and Tarantot walked to the entrance and exit of the pier, hundreds of people gathered outside the pier and rushed into the pier to greet them.
The guy trotting at the front of the crowd, saying "Lord Tarantot" in both mouths and lips, was Duke Ola of the Kingdom of Lhasa.
Immediately behind Duke Aola are a group of nobles from the Kingdom of Lhasa, and behind them are the little girls from Paradise.
When Zhou Xingyun saw the little girls in the paradise, following the nobles of the Lhasa Kingdom, they ran to watch the excitement, and suddenly they were one big and two big.
Before Zhou Xingyun set sail, he kept telling the little girls in the paradise to go back to the Lord's Mansion obediently and not to run around until he came back.
Zhou Xingyun made this arrangement because he didn't want the little girl in Paradise to be noticed by the people of the Esilans Empire.
Who would have known that the little cutie who had been controlled by Houllier before and never dared to disobey his instructor's orders would actually unleash his naughty nature after hanging out with Zhou Xingyun for a few days, and each one would become more naughty than the other.
Zhou Xingyun clearly told them not to run around, but when the little cuties learned that the Empire's God of War, the Thunder God Emperor, was coming, they couldn't help but ran to the entrance and exit of the dock to watch the business, join in the fun, and see what the famous Thunder God Emperor looked like.
What made Zhou Xingyun furious the most was that he heard the little cuties whispering and talking about him, saying that the Thunder God Emperor was so handsome and worthy of being the legendary hero of the Ice Lance Empire!
"Who are you?" Tarantot first glanced at the little girl in the paradise, and then looked at Aura in confusion.
"I am Duke Aola of the Kingdom of Lhasa, the lord of this seaport city." After introducing himself, Aola couldn't help but said excitedly: "We learned that His Royal Highness the King was ungrateful and secretly colluded with the Holy Church regardless of his past friendship with the great empire.
The United Army and the Osselan Alliance are determined to follow God's will and contribute to the Esilans Empire! Punish the tyrant of the Lhasa Kingdom!"
"Yes, yes, we have all received God's oracle! We will definitely assist the Essilans Empire in its crusade against the tyrant!"
"Please the Esilans Empire, please General Tarantote, give us support! We will definitely stand together with the just Esilans Empire! Overthrow the tyranny of the King of Lhasa!"
"Hey, that's it. I understand. On behalf of the Esilans Empire, I will witness the friendship between you and our country, and fully support you in overthrowing the tyranny of the Kingdom of Lhasa."
When Tarantot heard what Aura and others said, he immediately understood that these nobles planned to defect to the Esilans Empire and launch a coup in the country.
As long as they have the support of the empire, they can secure the throne after overthrowing the king of the Kingdom of Lhasa.
When Tarantot saw hundreds of people at the entrance and exit of the pier, two things puzzled him.
Now Tarantot has figured out the first thing. The reason why the nobles of the Lhasa Kingdom assisted Zhou Xingyun in occupying the Harbor City was to gain the support of the empire, join the Esilans Federation, and then seek to usurp the throne and become the new leader of the Lhasa Kingdom.
king.
For the Esilans Empire, this is a good thing. As long as the Kingdom of Lhasa, like the Principality of Cheryl, joins the Esilans Federation and becomes a satellite of the great empire, in the future, the Holy Union Army and the Osailan Alliance will not be able to
Then take advantage of the situation, invade from the direction of the Principality of Cheryl, and attack the imperial capital of the empire.
As a result, Tarantot welcomed Aura and the nobles of the Lhasa Kingdom into the arms of the Esilans Empire.
Next, Tarantot wanted to figure out the second thing. Why did the candidate for the princess of Paradise appear at the dock of the Harbor City together with the nobles of the Kingdom of Lhasa?
However, Tarantot planned to finish the business first, let the army take over the defense of the harbor city, receive the nobles of the Lhasa Kingdom, and formulate the next action plan, and then go to investigate the candidates for the princess in the paradise. He would not stay in the paradise.
What are you doing in Harbor City?
If Tarantot wants to take back the leadership from Zhou Xingyun, he must make good use of the nobles of the Lhasa Kingdom and let them know that he has the final say on all matters of the Harbor City, not Zhou Xingyun who comes from a foreign country.
The nobles of the Kingdom of Lhasa and the soldiers of the Principality of Cheryl, as long as they are not fools, should understand that the people of the Esilans Empire are the overlords of this land.
Zhou Xingyun is just a guy who comes here to do odd jobs. Anyone who knows who you should side with and whose orders you should obey will understand.
In this way, Tarantot went step by step and ordered the Titan Thunder Army to take over the harbor city, and asked Zhou Xingyun to vacate the lord's mansion in the harbor city, saying that he would move into the lord's mansion and receive the nobles of the Lhasa Kingdom.
Zhou Xingyun had no objection to this. They didn’t live in the Lord’s Mansion anyway. They lived in the servants’ quarters next to the Lord’s Mansion…
Tarantot dared to believe that since Zhou Xingyun claimed to be the commander of Harbor City, he must live in the Lord's Mansion.
"Have all the women from Paradise come to Harbor City?" Tarantot arrived at the Lord's Mansion and couldn't help but notice that there were many beautiful women in the servants' quarters on the side.
After careful confirmation, Tarantot discovered that they were all from Paradise.
"It's a long story. The paradise has been occupied by the Arat bandits, so we can only take people to evacuate." Zhou Xingyun answered casually.
"Why not let them stay in Maiba Castle? Isn't that safer than here?" Tarantot was very suspicious. When he met Zhou Xingyun, he vaguely felt that there was a lot wrong. Unfortunately, he could not figure out what went wrong.
"It's not necessarily that Maiba Castle is really safer than Harbor City, because the Aisilans Empire cooperates with the Alat Bandits. At present, the Alat Bandits have settled in Maiba Fort. These are the decisions of Lord Holier. I
I’m not sure what Her Excellency Houllier is thinking in her heart. General Tarantot, why don’t you wait until Her Excellency Houllier comes back and then ask her the reason in detail.”
Zhou Xingyun acted coyly and put all the blame on Houllier, saying that it was Houllier who decided to give up the paradise to the Alat gang and then cooperated with the Alat gang.
Perhaps it was because the Arat bandit's presence in Mayba Castle might have a negative impact on the girls in the paradise, so she asked him to lead the people in the paradise.
All in all, Zhou Xingyun mumbled a lot of things, but in the end he meant the same thing: Don't ask me, ask Houllier.
Zhou Xingyun thought that everything would be fine if he put all the problems on the dead man Houllier. As a result, their disaster had just begun...
Tarantot met with the nobles of the Lhasa Kingdom at the Lord's Mansion, and Zhou Xingyun was excluded.
Zhou Xingyun had nothing to do, so he had to return to his residence and discuss with Wei Suyao what to do in the future.
You must know that the fleet of the Esilans Empire circled the Harbor City, which was something Zhou Xingyun did not expect.
The Thunder God Emperor took over Harbor City, which disrupted Zhou Xingyun's original plan.
Zhou Xingyun originally wanted the Harbor City of the Kingdom of Lhasa to become a neutral zone so that Xiao Xiaosai and others could escape the control of the empire.
It’s over! The Thunder God Emperor took over Harbor City, and Zhou Xingyun’s plan was instantly ruined.
In the past, Zhou Xingyun was able to sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor for nothing, but now it is better, the situation has changed, and it is his turn to make wedding clothes for others.
Now there is only one word in Zhou Xingyun's heart, sorrow!
So sad!
Zhou Xingyun was so worried that he lay paralyzed on Seluvinia's lap like a dying old man. He asked Xiao Sai to massage his face, Xunxuan to rub his legs, and Wei Suyao to trim his nails every two or three minutes.
I just groaned and groaned without saying a word, and just called my imperial doctor.
Although Wei Suyao and his party knew that Zhou Xingyun was pretending to be ill, everyone felt sorry for him and followed him. After all, Zhou Xingyun had to coax Hua Fuduo to sleep tonight...
Let me tell you something, what happened to Zhou Xingyun is nothing serious. Suppose Zhou Xingyun had a sudden change of heart, tricked the people from the paradise into boarding the ship, and took them to escape tonight, the people of the Aisilans Empire would really be unable to do anything to him.
.
Zhou Xingyun and his group are so powerful that even if they really want to escape with hundreds of people, the Thunder God Emperor can't do anything to them.
It's just that Zhou Xingyun didn't want to leave the game in this way, or maybe he didn't feel comfortable leaving the soldiers of the Cheryl Principality, Edward, Andy, Mary and others under the control of the Ice Lance Empire.
Another point is that Zhou Xingyun does not want the Esilans Empire to win...
No, it is not accurate enough to say that Zhou Xingyun did not want the Esilans Empire to win. It should be that Zhou Xingyun did not want the Esilans Empire to defeat the Holy Union Army and the Osailan Alliance because of his help.
You must know that whether it is Maiba Castle or Harbor City, these two strategic locations that are crucial to the Holy Union Army and the Osailan Alliance were conquered by Zhou Xingyun.
Now that Zhou Xingyun has escaped, it is tantamount to helping the Esilans Empire to win a victory, killing hundreds of thousands of the main forces of the Holy Union Army and the Osailan Alliance.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xingyun was worried to death! He accidentally did several major things that could change the entire battle.
You know, Desita, Tina, and Xia Long from the Holy Union Army and the Oseland Alliance are all our own!
Zhou Xingyun had to think about what he could do to get the best of both worlds, not only helping Xiaoxiaocai and all the people in the paradise, but also helping Dai Shida, Tina, and Xia Long.
