Chapter 402: Three Months (2)

For such an important task, of course, it is impossible to send a random delegation of envoys and go over directly. This team is led by the three ninja of the Balance Sect, Berserk Heart-Kenan, Shadow Fist-Akali, and Twilight Eyes-Shen, and the three of them together form an unprecedentedly large envoy group.

According to the grapevine, the envoys led a huge number of goods, carrying ten cargo ships, the value of which was equivalent to one-tenth of the property of the state treasury.

Although this was expensive and scary, no one in the government objected, because they all knew the importance of this envoy.

Of course, on the side of Noxus, they suffered a big loss ten years ago, how could they continue to make the same mistake this time.

Although the spies on Ionia's side did not find any abnormalities in the Noxian Front, they were never seen on the battlefield three days after the envoys were dispatched, and the hand of Roxus-Darius, could see a trace of abnormality.

As for whether or not Noxus took action, or what action was taken, Ionia's side was completely unknown.

In addition to this order to send a diplomatic mission, Charleson issued a second order to raise taxes.

It is foreseeable that the tax revenue will be raised from 20 percent to 50 percent, which will certainly cause dissatisfaction among the people, and even if it is not handled well, there may be civil strife.

So, after Charleson gave the second order, he followed the third.

The benefits for joining the army have been tripled, and young adults between the ages of 18 and 35 are required to serve in the military.

As soon as this order was issued, it immediately diverted the attention of the civilian population, and increased the income of the army, which was equivalent to raising their income, which could completely offset the tax revenue.

The issuance of these second and third orders is equivalent to forcing civilians to join the army in disguise. However, the civilians of Ionia surprisingly did not resist, not even oppose.

Because the war ten years ago gave them too deep an impression, they would rather die on the battlefield than become lowly slaves after defeat.

You know, in Noxus, the total number of slaves today has exceeded 500,000. Among them, there are at least 50,000 slaves, all of whom were captured by their Ionian side ten years ago.

And the next day after the promulgation of these two orders, Charleson finally issued the last order, opening the treasury and raising funds to build the Fourth and Fifth Armies within half a year.

At that time, the army on the side of Ionia will exceed one million.

At the same time, the Ionian royal family also sent an envoy delegation again to visit all the first-class forces in Ionia one by one.

And after these first-class forces negotiated with the royal family, these first-class forces were willing to spend a lot of effort to form a 'special combat legion' composed of all the powerhouses above the fourth-order martial sect.

However, this is not unconditional, and the 'special operations corps' does not belong to any group army and has independent command authority.

For such conditions, although the royal family does not want these big forces to control the army, but they are in a hurry to do so, and now they can only promise it.

And in the following month, it can be said that Ionia slowly moved like a sophisticated war machine.

A steady stream of young people put down the books or hoes in their hands, changed into military armor and weapons, and walked to the new barracks for training.

In the streets, all the commoners came and went, all kinds of expensive and extravagant goods were removed from the shelves and replaced with the most ordinary daily necessities, and the streets were devoid of the loitering ladies and laughing children.

Everyone's brows furrowed slightly, only four months had passed since the war began, and they had already felt the horror of this war beast.

At this time, four months had passed since the war, that is, the third month after Guo Yi had finished refining his body and officially accepted the inheritance, and at this time, the situation among the plateau tribes had become unprecedentedly tense.

Retrospectively, this matter has to start with Shaq and the others returning to the plateau tribe.

After Elder Vaughn fought a battle, led Shaq and the others back to the main vein, about a week or so, and when things calmed down a little, Lev began to bring people to the door to find fault.

At the beginning, this was limited to some minor conflicts, and these young generations of the main line, under the overwhelming and domineering of the three elders, suffered a slight loss.

And when Shaq and the others saw this scene, how could they bear it, if they couldn't beat it before, forget it, and now after returning from the Ice and Fire Tomb, how could they be angry with Lev.

Shaq didn't go out in person, he just sent two squads, a total of ten people, out, and beat the more than 30 people brought by Lev to the ground.

This result shocked both sides, and the younger generation on the side of the main vein instantly shocked Shaq and the others.

They even held a small celebration.

As for how could Lev and the others who were beaten on the other side be willing, Lev directly used the token given to him by Koester and summoned the geniuses of the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh veins.

Hundreds of people went to the main vein to find fault, and seeing this scene, Shaq also knew that it was time to teach them a real lesson.

Immediately, Shaq also used the identity of the first day of the main vein to recruit the eight and ninth veins who had a good relationship with them.

Just when the geniuses of the Eighth and Ninth Veins came with apprehension and were ready to share the hardships with the people of the Main Pulse, Shaq just asked them to watch the battle from the sidelines.

And then the next thing was that the Blood Flame Clan, a team of only thirty people, fought against all the geniuses of the Three Elders and One Pulse faction.

Not many people were optimistic about the Blood Flame team in this battle, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

From start to finish, the battle was over in just five minutes. Lev was dragged away by Shaq, who directly kicked and broke two ribs, and he still had a look of horror on his face before leaving.

He really didn't expect that he hadn't seen these people from the Blood Flame Clan for more than a month, and all of them were fourth-order martial sects.

If this was the case, then more than a hundred of them would still have the strength to fight, but the battle formation used by the Blood Flame Clans was really terrifying.

These people in the Blood Flame Clan have no so-called attack or defense system at all, and the entire battle array is completely natural, and the place where they pass is simply devastating and pulling.

This battle not only shook the geniuses in the entire plateau tribe, but even those elder-level figures were also shocked.

Especially those elders of the Three Elders' lineage, after learning about the terrifying combat power of the Blood Flame Clan, they seemed to understand what Volen had done at the beginning.

They also faintly felt the threat of Shaq and the others.

If it weren't for Koster's performance all along, which was very strong, there was no one who could shake his position on the first day of the plateau tribe, I am afraid that these people in the line of the three elders would have to take action.

But a week later, an incident occurred that caused them to overturn this idea. (To be continued.) )
