Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1711 - 702: I Will Rule the Three Great Divine Countries
Previously on Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!...
Man Huang was personally designated as the "Ambassador of the Northern Kingdom" by Qiu Tu, tasked with overseeing all diplomatic affairs. (Chapter 693)
While Qiu Tu was supplying resources to the Northern Divine King, Man Huang also conveyed intelligence concerning the "Northern Kingdom" and the "Divine King" from the latter to Qiu Tu.
This explains why Qiu Tu immediately sought out Man Huang after the Divine King's demise to share all the information.
Qiu Tu's present actions clearly indicate his intention for "Si Yuan Pavilion" to transcend its role as a mere spokesperson.
He aims to leverage "Si Yuan Pavilion's" standing within the "Northern Kingdom" and its current association with the "Northern Divine King" to hasten the assimilation of the "Northern Kingdom."
Essentially, this binds "Si Yuan Pavilion" to Qiu Tu's ambitions, transforming it from a passive observer into an active participant.
Consequently, "Si Yuan Pavilion" stands to gain immense rewards for success but may face severe repercussions for failure.
"This individual is formidable... With mere words, he has entwined us in a shared destiny, compelling us to serve his agenda."
Lost in thought, Man Huang regained her senses and found herself gazing intently at Qiu Tu.
At that precise moment, Qiu Tu's gaze was also fixed upon her.
Their eyes met, Man Huang's expression serene, while Qiu Tu's gaze deliberately lingered on the graceful contours of her form.
His stare felt akin to large hands, slowly tracing the lines of her body.
Man Huang's mind involuntarily recalled the sensation of her body trembling when Qiu Tu had held her "switch" earlier.
She nibbled her lower lip, a flush rising to her cheeks, a mixture of shame and indignation coloring her features.
Observing her reaction, Qiu Tu recognized he had struck a chord and shrewdly shifted the conversation back to the matter at hand.
He gave Man Huang a subtle look before speaking, "Man Huang, you will head this initiative. Do you have any objections?"
Confronted by Qiu Tu, "Si Yuan Pavilion" held no grounds for refusal, especially since Qiu Tu proposed sharing substantial benefits rather than solely exploiting them.
Therefore, after drawing a steadying breath, Man Huang nodded and softly replied, "No problem."
A faint smile graced Qiu Tu's eyes upon hearing her assent.
He then turned his attention to Princess Xi and Li Feng, addressing them directly, "The 'Western Kingdom' serves as the primary operational theater for our Human Camp."
"Within it, the 2nd Sanctuary maintains a strong presence in the 'Western Kingdom.'"
"With the Divine King now vanquished, the most significant obstacle to humanity's progress has been removed. Chairman Lin, General Li Feng, I urge you to visit the 2nd Sanctuary and persuade them to align with our 'Human Alliance.'"
"Subsequently, leverage your influence through them to integrate the various factions of the 'Western Kingdom' via the 'Fog Hidden Association.'"
Qiu Tu paused, then with a suggestive tone, looked towards Li Feng, remarking, "General Li Feng, I believe your mother could play a pivotal role in this endeavor."
"You should have a thorough discussion with her."
Both Princess Xi and Li Feng responded with solemn affirmation, "Yes!"
Having outlined the strategic plan for the "Western Kingdom," Qiu Tu finally directed his gaze towards Tang Feifei, Rain Butterfly, and Guan Xiao.
He produced a pack of cigarettes, extracted one, and lit it. However, just as he was about to take a puff, the cigarette abruptly extinguished in the following second.
Qiu Tu blinked in surprise, his attention shifting to Rain Butterfly.
Rain Butterfly stood with her hands clasped behind her back, gazing skyward, emitting a near-whistling sound, an act that seemed entirely disconnected from her.
A quiet chuckle escaped Qiu Tu.
He recalled earlier times in Xinjie City when his cultivation was weaker, and smoking posed a risk to his health; Rain Butterfly would consistently snatch away his cigarettes.
Back then, he had assumed that as his strength and status grew, Rain Butterfly might cease her interference with his smoking.
He realized he was mistaken; it appeared her actions remained unchanged. She still put out his cigarettes.
However, while previously she would seize the cigarette directly, she now subtly extinguished the flame with her spiritual power.
In this relentlessly shifting world, the constancy of a familiar presence felt exceptionally precious.
With this thought, Qiu Tu decided against challenging Rain Butterfly. Instead, he smiled, placed the unlit cigarette on the table, and resumed their conversation,
"Earlier, I have outlined assignments for the 'Northern Kingdom' and the 'Western Kingdom.'"
"These two kingdoms share significant connections with us, facilitating easier penetration."
"In contrast, the 'Eastern Kingdom' presents a different challenge."
Given its distant location from our domain, our influence over the 'Eastern Kingdom' is virtually nonexistent.
Consequently, this campaign is poised to be a formidable challenge.
With that, Qiu Tu turned his gaze to Tang Feifei, remarking, "However, this very remoteness also presents a prime chance for territorial expansion."
"Therefore, Feifei, you will assume the mantle of overall commander for this crucial undertaking."
Turning his attention next to Rain Butterfly and Guan Xiao, Qiu Tu declared, "Rain Butterfly, Guan Xiao, your roles will encompass the initial infiltration and providing essential war support."
"Understood," the three women responded in unison.
Qiu Tu offered a slight nod and proceeded, "The 'Eastern Kingdom' stands as the paramount power among the four Divine Countries."
"Exercise caution and refrain from reckless actions; focus initially on thorough preparations."
"Once Qing Lan successfully ascends to the rank of Heavenly God, she will lend her support to your endeavors."
"The addition of a Heavenly God will substantially alleviate the pressure you face."
Having spoken, Qiu Tu surveyed the individuals present, his eyes conveying a solemn yet luminous intensity, and he solemnly articulated,
"All of you are undoubtedly familiar with my Cataclysm Path."
"Order-Politics!"
The concept of "Politics" originated with humankind, yet its scope is not confined solely to humanity."
