Chapter 2197: Old Members of the Royal City

The effects of "Son of the Sun" that became the six-star title are still those, but the effects of the title have been doubled. The first thing Lin Jiu chose to upgrade was the title of "Son of the Sun" because the power of this system spreads across many native worlds. And even if it is a native world without a sun camp, like the abyss world, as long as it is given a chance, it can quickly pull out a sun camp.

"We've arrived at Alpine City." After crossing a plain, Morey reminded.

In the line of sight of the group, a city appeared. The walls of the city were extremely tall and the gates were very thick. Any guard soldier chosen at random would be an elite man.

"I'll lead the way here, and then you can mess around on your own." Morey couldn't wait to run away. After finishing speaking, a frog was left on the spot and the figure disappeared.

Gungun curiously patted the frog on the ground with his bear paw, and the frog jumped around. Lin Jiu also took a look and felt that Morey's ability was very interesting. It could be called the ultimate evolved version of the substitute technique. It probably helped her avoid many life and death crises.

"I see..." Lin Jiu mentioned the frog and studied it, and he probably understood the principle of Morey's ability. It was also thanks to his "Contract Master" attainment that he could see that there were traces of a temporary contract on this frog.

Morey's ability is roughly equivalent to a combined version of Substitution + Psychic. The ability she masters can randomly contract a frog within the range of her ability, and then replace the positions of both parties, letting the frog take her place. After changing his position, Morey will replace the "existence" of the frog, blinding others' perception.

There are two things that make this ability powerful. One is the aforementioned ability to blind perception, which allows her to hide herself. Another point is the effect of being out of control, similar to "the golden cicada escapes its shell". This means that this ability can be used in the Kingdom of Peru, but in the Sand Flame Kingdom, most of the territory is a desert environment, and there are no frogs to be found for her to make a contract with.

Lin Jiu threw the frog aside and walked towards Gaoshan City. When I arrived near the city gate, I saw that the person controlling the Gaoshan City guard was an acquaintance.

Isn’t it just Joan of Arc?

It seems that Xi has obtained part of the army in the Kingdom of Peru. At least the city guard troops in front of her are under her command, so that she can arrange Joan of Arc here.

However, I didn't see Nozomi. Joan of Arc only needs to be responsible for commanding the army, but Nozomi has a lot to deal with, so naturally she doesn't have that much time.

Lin Jiu didn't say hello to Joan. He walked to the door, but before entering, he saw a group of dwarves walking towards him. A man who looked like a minister was walking in front of a group of soldiers, walking towards Lin Jiu. The ministers of the Kingdom of Peru all looked very tough and powerful, and it was difficult to tell whether they were civil servants or generals.

"Your Excellency Chiyou, you are finally here." The leading minister looked at Lin Jiu very enthusiastically and greeted him to Gaoshan City. As he walked, he said: "It's all that woman's fault for being alarmist in the royal city every day. There is no possibility that the Sha Yan Kingdom could attack us. What nonsense are we talking about? The country ruled by the false king cannot be our opponent now. That woman just wants to take advantage of the opportunity to seize power..."

While the minister was breathing heavily, another official next to him... no, it should be said to be a general, greeted Lin Jiu: "Commander Chiyou!"

This is obviously the general of the Kingdom of Peru. He is not tall enough, but has a solid body like a rock. The shoulders are broad, and the muscles are looming under the tight armor, like the hard rocks in the mountains, showing endless strength. The legs are steady and the steps are heavy and powerful.

The general's hair was as thick and curly as the bushes in the mountains, and had a deep color. The skin is rough and tough, like the bark of a tree that has been washed by wind and frost. His face is sharp and angular, exuding a resolute temperament, and his thick beard is like a vine in the forest, adding a bit of wildness and heroism.

Wearing an exquisite set of dwarf armor, the armor is made of precious metal and engraved with complex runes and patterns. There was also a huge war hammer hanging on his back, which was almost as big as most of his body. The hammer head was heavy.

The identity Lin Jiu gained after using the props has already come into play. What's interesting is that the minister and the general have different titles. The minister addressed him as "Your Excellency" and rambled on about a certain guy's alarmist plot to seize power.

Of course the woman he was talking about was Xi. Xi shouted slogans in the royal city and that was enough. He had no hope that he could lead the army to attack now. I am taking this opportunity to be more "alarmist". When Su Xiao blasts me, I will know that what she said is absolutely correct, and I will have more power.

The minister's meaning in talking to him was obvious. He was implying that by dragging Lin Jiu, a "mountain forest man", to the royal city, he would use part of his power to contain Xi's actions. It is true that the dwarves are good at forging and fighting, but it does not mean that they are not good at politics. It is just that the political atmosphere is more tough in comparison, but they can master all the checks and balances.

Lin Jiu also got to know these two men. The minister was called Spencer Graham, or Gray for short, and the general was called Joseph for short. Joseph's attitude towards him showed respect, and his title was "Commander".

You must know that Lin Jiu has just arrived in the royal city and has no position. Su Xiao only became the commander-in-chief after signing a military order with the Tsar Emperor and Uno.

He has nothing yet, but they still call him the commander. Lin Jiu is very optimistic about this general named Joseph. He looks promising. However, this also roughly confirmed the background of these two people. Gray is the man of the Peruvian King Spring Steel Sheep, and Joseph is his "old subordinate", to be precise, an old subordinate of the Shanlin Clan.

Different countries have different national conditions. In the Sand Flame Kingdom, Su Xiao is really only a member of the Yongluan Clan and has no power at all. Because they killed the king to ascend to the throne, all forces that oppose them must be cleared out. So even if the Yongluan Clan still has an army left, it has been cleared out, and the remaining people are all loyal to the new king.

The Kingdom of Peru is different. The current Peruvian king of this lineage plays a role that is probably entrusted with the task in times of crisis, rather than an ignominious role. There was no large-scale cleanup of the original old subordinates of the Flame People and the Shanlin People, which gave Lin Jiu a good start after arriving in Gaoshan City.

When Lin Jiu arrived in Gaoshan City, Su Xiao had already led his army and was on the way to attack the Kingdom of Peru.

As the army marched, the ground began to harden and turned into a mixture of sand and soil. As soon as they arrived at the border, the army led by Su Xiao encountered a group of scouts. These were people from other legions of their own side. The six generals, except Su Xiao, set up checkpoints at the border. There were many fortress cities on both sides of the border, and supplies could be obtained through these fortress cities.

The city of Segona in the Kingdom of Peru is such a fortress city. It is destined not to fight a protracted war. It must be controlled within 1 hour to capture the city of Segona, otherwise it will face enemy reinforcements from all directions.

The march that originally took five days was now completed in less than four days, including the repair and handover of troops from Unona. The remaining three days were Su Xiao's bargaining chip for capturing the city of Segona.
