245 – Easily Taking the Barroman City
A seemingly very capable young man arrived in front of Yang Feng and said: “Andro greets Master!”
Yang Feng looked at the young man and said faintly: “Andro, you’re Artais’ man!”
Ever since Artais obtained the large amount of funds from Yang Feng, his power expanded geometrically. Like this, Yang Feng could be well-informed regarding the intelligence of the Morrince Empire and Titan Empire.
Without the intelligence provided by Artais, Yang Feng would never have invaded the hinterland of the Morrince Empire and turned the Molinson Province upside down so lightly.
Information and intelligence were the two most important factors in war. Yang Feng was very glad that he didn’t kill Artais and instead chose to take him in as a subordinate.
Andro replied respectfully: “Yes, Master. I am the general manager Sir Artais planted in the Barroman City!”
Yang Feng asked curiously: “What exactly happened? How come the Barroman City was captured by you so easily?”
The governor of the Molinson Province recruited an over 100,000-strong army in the Barroman City. Although this army wasn’t of much use in field warfare, but its combat strength would be considerable in urban warfare.
It was a miracle that the small army Artais planted in the Barroman City could capture a gate of the Barroman City.
“It’s all thanks to you, Sir! Sir, you’ve been attacking cities all over the place. No city can withstand your offensive. The governor of the Molinson Province was already frightened, so when he heard the news that you were coming, he began to transfer his wealth and family to the Danton Province. He also deployed the army as an escort.”
“When the greater aristocrats of the Barroman City got wind of this, they also lost their fighting spirit. They quickly organized their people and withdrew from the Barroman City. There have been rumors circulating in the army, yet the governor of the Molinson Province did nothing.”
“Master, when you arrived next to the Barroman City today, the governor of the Molinson Province, escorted by 20,000 warriors, immediately fled the city.”
“When they saw the governor escape, the warriors he recruited scattered in confusion. No one was willing to defend the city. When I saw this, so as to avoid undue delay, I took my people to seize the gate and welcome you, Master.” Narrated Andro coherently.
Yang Feng couldn’t help asking: “If the governor of the Molinson Province is such a good-for-nothing, then how did he become a governor in the first place?”
Andro answered: “The governor of the Molinson Province has a sister, the Southern Consort, who is the favorite consort of His Majesty. It was the Southern Consort who pleaded with His Majesty to have her brother become the governor of the Molinson Province.”
On the Feisuo Plane, in the Morrince Empire, every adult man was allowed to take 6 wives, 2 official wives and 4 secondary wives. As for concubines, there was no limit to them.
The Morrince Empire had 2 empresses and 4 consorts. They were the 6 women with the most noble status in the imperial harem. The status of the concubines wasn’t as noble as that of the 6 women.
The reason behind this practice was that the first emperor of the Morrince Empire was accompanied by 6 very noble women. The 6 women were either the favorite women of the emperor or had great forces backing them, with noble divine blood of demigods flowing through their veins. To show that the 6 women were different from the rest, the emperor made 2 of them empresses and 4 of them consorts. The status of the concubines was much lower than that of the 6 women.
In the Morrince Empire, unless the 2 empresses and 4 consorts didn’t give birth to an hear, the children birthed by the concubines had no right to the throne, at all.
Yang Feng’s eyes flashed with a peculiar glint and he said slowly: “The emperor is this fatuous?”
Andro’s eyes flashed with disdain, saying: “The emperor is a good-for-nothing. Not only does he like men, but he’s also very fatuous, making a hell of a mess when choosing people for posts. If it weren’t for the deep foundation of the Morrince Empire, he would have already ran it into the ground.”
Yang Feng shook his head slightly and said slowly: “No matter how useless or fatuous he is, the Morrince Empire will not collapse. There are gods in the sky watching!”
The Morrince Empire was supported by the gods of the Zaliah divine system. Within the empire, there were numerous temples and believers of the gods of the Zaliah divine system.
The gods of the Zaliah divine system would never let the Morrince Empire topple over. If they deemed it necessary, they would have all kinds of ways to interfere. The forces threatening the Morrince Empire would be destroyed directly. So long as each god of the Zaliah divine system dispatched a divine chosen, the frightening force would be enough to destroy Yang Feng’s trifling Miracle City.
Yang Feng swept Andro with a glance and said solemnly: “Andro, you have rendered a great contribution this time, so I will reward you handsomely. Do you want to serve me?”
Andro’s eyes glimmered with joy, but he still said respectfully: “If Sir Artais agrees, then I am willing to serve Sir.”
Yang Feng smiled lightly and threw him a vial of elixir: “I will talk to Artais! This is a reward for you. Drinking it can extend your lifespan by 10 years and have you promote to a Knight rank powerhouse.”
“Many thanks, Sir!” Andro was only an advanced Warrior. After he received the vial of elixir, delight overtook his face, and he thanked Yang Feng respectfully.
Yang Feng, who had built a portable fortified fortress not far from the Miracle City, was able to synthesize this elixir that could enable people to promote to the Knight rank in batches.
But if Yang Feng took out the elixir without any reason and had the slave warriors use it, it would appear that the elixir was very cheap, which would arouse the suspicion of others.
In this war, Yang Feng could justifiably use the elixir on the slave warriors that rendered great contributions to upgrade their strength, and remove their slaves status.
A Warrior walked up to Yang Feng and said: “Master, Sir Archbishop Esteban of the Sun Temple invites you to go see him.”
“Finally!” Yang Feng creased his eyebrows slightly, then released them, contemplated for a moment, and said slowly: “Take me to see him!”
In the center of the Barroman City the magnificent and imposing temples. Among the numerous temples, there was a sun engraved above the most sacred and grand temple. In the middle of the sun stood a blond, young man with a golden, sacred sword.
This temple released powerful fluctuations of power, which enveloped the Barroman City, at all times. It was the Sun Temple of the Barroman City.
Before he reached the Sun Temple, Yang Feng operated a secret method and looked at it. He saw very rich faith power envelop the Sun Temple and exude very powerful fluctuations of power.
On the Feisuo Plane, every city had at least a temple, but the size and power of the temples varied.
Up to this point, Yang Feng had yet to meet a decent resistance, as the clergy of the temples in the various cities didn’t resist.
Of course, in exchange, Yang Feng didn’t touch the clergy.
On the Feisuo Plane, every clergyman was the servant of a god. If it wasn’t necessary, Yang Feng wouldn't touch clergymen easily.
An arrogant-looking, middle-aged Bishop wearing a Bishop robe of the Sun Temple emerged from the Sun Temple. Following behind the middle-aged Bishop were a dozen rather pretty nuns dressed in nun clothing.
The middle-aged Bishop overlooked Yang Feng from a higher ground, and asked coldly: “You are Ian?”
Yang Feng creased his eyebrows slightly, before releasing them and answering lightly: “I am Ian!”
Akt said very haughtily and scornfully: “I am the Sun Temple’s Bishop Akt! The Barroman City belongs to the great Sun God Dragoni, it’s not a place that barbarians like yourself can desecrate. Scram!! You are not welcome here!!”
Yang Feng smiled faintly, then a cold glint flashed past his eyes, he took a step forward, and hit Akt in the face.
Akt lost a few teeth, and his face was covered in blood. He was sent flying for quite a few meters, then fell to the ground, twitched, and fainted.
As a Bishop rank powerhouse, the might of divine spells unleashed by Akt was comparable to that of level-2 Warlock spells. However, his body was very weak and could not take a hit.
“What are you doing!!”
“Barbarian!! Do you want to blaspheme the mighty Sun God Dragoni?!”
“…”
The complexions of the dozen nuns behind Akt changed dramatically, and they screamed shrilly. These nuns of the Sun Temple had always been aloof in the Barroman City. Even the governor of the Molinson Province, when he saw them, had to be polite to them.
Now, however, a Bishop rank bigwig, as if a dead dog, was knocked to the ground with a blow from Yang Feng. This was unheard of.
Yang Feng swept the dozen chirping nuns with a glance and his eyes turned cold. He drew the sword at his waist and barked coldly: “Shut the hell up, all of you! Now I am the master of the Barroman City!! I can decide your fates with just a sentence. I can let you live or die! I can have you go to heaven or have you taste the pain of hell!”
The more than 30 guards next to Yang Feng drew the swords at their waists and pointed at the dozen nuns. So long as Yang Feng gave the order, they would rush into the Sun Temple and kill the nuns.
The pretty complexions of the dozen beautiful nuns changed, their hearts chilled, and their lovely bodies shivered.
