Chapter 338 Rite of Battle (1/2)
”What are you guys thinking?!” Qiu Yue slahtened the advisors once more ”Oh my God, I really cannot believe it” She lowered her head in disappointment and shook her head This was definitely harder than she had anticipated
”What seeentle tone rather than an i one and hoped that he did not offend her in any way However, Qiu Yue ignored hiht beside him and started to write her own notes while the advisors could only keep quiet staring at her in silence as they heard the sound of intense scribbling
”I understand that a lot of your advisors are freshly recruited, but they should have been around to see hoork this job I can't believe you need me to point out all your flaws It's as if you are on thin ice without even realising it and slowing Let me point it out for you You have approxi to the population that you quotedthe fact that the orcs have crippled every other goblin kingdom, you are left with only the huion ht of the table
”Your relationshi+p with the hu they even ARE willing to aid you in trading, you ain an additional twoto the a with you for years Also, you can be da to skyrocket the prices they are going to charge you After all, they should clearly understand, that you will be forced to pay up” Qiu Yue walked towards the Economy advisor's secretary and requested for the notes that the poor goblin had been taking down
”Resource wise, King Sol has had the foresight to found the kingdom in a location with rich forest and mines, so we are mostly self sufficient in terms of metal works and construction Food and manpower, however, are an issue” Qiu Yue took a ures on her palm
”At the very least, you enforced the conscription law strictly This e can call up dom with the old, the woman and children if we are not careful” Qiu Yue now requested the military advisor's secretary to surrender his portion of notes
”Unfortunately you guys did not phase out old equip while Most of your resources were diverted into tangible products which are beneficial for trading purposes, allowing the kingdo it's not wrong, but a quick glance over the nuns ofmassive corruptions done by your predecessors From what it looks like, Your Majesty, it seems you've been aware of this, is that correct? ” Qiu Yue diverted the question towards King Sol
”Iyes It has come to my attention… I, however, would like to iterat-” Qiu Yue stopped hily honest, Your Majesty The accounts are pristine clean on your end I think I roughly get the situation and what sort of predicament it could have possibly lead to if you had openly addressed those corruptions” Qiu Yue re Sol had been in poor health al advantage of that If not for the fact that the Three Generals were his friends, the corrupted advisors would have likely tried to overthrow King Sol in a military coup thee the fact that your previous advisors were corrupted Military Advisor, I suggest ordering a raid in their premise as soon as possible to retrieve records of their financial assets and seize any valuables kept in those advisors' houses” Qiu Yue wanted to recover as dom
”This is blasphe their dead and you want us to be the bad guys and raid their house for the sake of gold? Whyus and barking orders at us! You did not give us a speck of respect at all!” The Military Advisor shouted in retaliation and Qiu Yue soblins were mainly a male dominated race, hence they looked down on Qiu Yue)
”Even though your King had asked you to cooperate, you are still disobeying? Do you really think if ere spies, that ould point out all your faults for you?!?! Fine I do understand your reluctance to follow orders of someone you have just ht to be here, and to couards that you have an ancient rite of battle if things do not get resolved, right? The one who loses will have to obey all wishes So how about this? Why don't you all fight ht Each and every one of you can attackorder I give If I lose, I won't force you to ransack those houses, instead, Jin here will provide oneabout a single thing” Qiu Yue pointed at Jin and the Systeold coins is equivalent to a hundred thousand dungeon dollars ” Jin sreeold coins? That is pathetic and not even worth our time” The Economy Advisor snorted as he wanted to increase the bet of the ancient rite of battle How could they lose? She was after all a huure There was no way she had experience in fighting and she probably would ainst theold coins Jin here will not help at hting with one hand tied to my back, and I have to defeat every one of you In return, all yourto ested but at this time, she and Jin did not know that Pei was already secretly using her Psycho cognitive abilities to influence the advisors, oblins were not stupid They demanded Qiu Yue to show the money before they participated in the ancient rite of battle This was because this rite was not just a prooblins, orcs or the hu contract between the two parties in order to settle their disagreehed heavily and asked the group to meet at the throne hall since there would be no way to show the coins In the eon dollars into gold coins ”Can I change theain?” Jin asked and the Systeh it would be based on the market conversion rate with transaction fees added Jin suddenly felt his heart tighten as he slowly accepted the fact that he needed to part with the oblin advisors along with King Sol reached the throne hall, Jin was pulling large suitcases out of his storage watch like so the suitcases one at a tioblin advisors' face turned white when they saw the old coins neatly stacked in each suitcase and theirSol noticed the desires of his advisors and shook his head He could only trust that Jin and Qiu would be able to set the goblins oblin advisors had not seen the humanoids in action and they only heard stories of theThey eventually careed to participate in the ancient rite of battle asking King Sol to initiate the contract According to their risk assessainst Qiu Yue, she should not be able to stand a chance at all
However, they did not know that Pei was the one riling up their ereed for thetheir anger for enduring all the insults Qiu Yue had been hurling at theoblin pride had been insulted They were appointed goblin advisors after all! Respective leaders of a specialised dom! Not just mere nobodies that could simply be lectured by someone else!
Jin started to notice that his bracelet was glowing slightly understanding that Pei h he decided not to interfere since fiftyas the advisors were to fight against Qiu Yue, everything else should be s You goblin advisors of ainst Qiu in a free for all coranted full access and confidence of each ministry, your future fate as advisors will also depend on her judgements Her orders will be absolute! However should she lose, she will surrender fiftySol stated as he cast ared
”Step in to confirm these conditions for the contract for this Rite of Battle” King Sol invited thely stepped forward to affirm the participants ”I hereby proclaim to act as the arbiter for the contract and declare it valid to be resolved by the end of the day” King Sol finished and the oblin advisors saw that there was a red triangle being embedded on the palms of their hand as well as Qiu Yue's
The advisors smirked as they decided to battle at the Castle's Outer Courtyard in an hour's tiather their weapon, armours and other miscellaneous equipment At that point, the advisors had distanced the how they could best coordinate with each other to take down Qiu Yue All had been trained in military thanks to the compulsory conscription law and so their stint in the arot sidetracked every now and then while re about the old days only to return to the kind of possibilities they ainst her Soic on her side to even the odds, while others felt she must be in possession of skills with area of effect that would oblins
Meanwhile, Jin returned all the suitcases into his storage ring and requested King Sol to lend theuest rooranted iuest room they used and showed a thu of his actions What actions? Only the guard hhh!!!” Qiu Yue screamed her frustration into the pillow before she finally relaxed on the bed heaving a sigh of co such a thing Did I push it too far?” Qiu Yue gave a ”pity this cute red panda” kind of face which instantly melted Jin's heart
”I doubt so After all you are just trying to help theistics is an internal e have to deal with consistently No proper supply routes and the ar in our operations We would lose this war before we know it” Jin reassured Qiu Yue as he sat on a large cushi+on chair and leaned his head at the side of the large chair
”There were tooin the combat service support They have no discipline in this particular planning phrase and everyone is pushi+ng responsibilities left right and centre Honestly they kind of renore my expertise… They have no idea howtheir personnel, and there are currently no plans of any forward bases Medical support is also sorely lacking and much more- ARGGHHHH” Qiu Yue took her half mask out and messed her hair up before she relaxed once ainst the goblins so you could obtain total control” Jin s on the bed
”I know I can be a control freak at ti else to circumvent this situation” Qiu Yue places the pillow on her face as she takes a rest
”Distance is not a factor at theHowever, there is a li The resources here like I said previously will not support us in the long run since we do not have that many farms Besides, the advisors also pointed out that winter is co If three month of food surplus is the best they can come up for the winter, ill be dead in our tracks” Qiu Yue continued to gruht now For now, you just stay calm and win this particular battle Or else ill lose the upper hand in negotiations” Jin then beckoned to Qiu Yue as she required her own battle strategy for the upco duel too
He and Qiu Yue reviewed her current abilities which was not in with since she had always busy ork Jin did pass her the manual that the System bestowed to him as a reward, the Radiant Red Panda in the Umbral Snow, but she did not have the time to read it properly Even the s much sense at all The complexity and in depth instructions clearly showed off the expertise of whoever wrote it, but without understanding it, it e
”Candidate Qiu Yue requires to have the Systerate the cultivation manual It was a safety measure created by the System to prevent misuse or abuse of the manual by other potential threats” The Syste her shoulders
”I think, the only way for you to win in this short amount of time is to have superior equipment than them If they needed their secretaries to fetch their personal armour, it can only mean that those weapons and arht have soic prepared to restrain you” Jin warned Qiu Yue and started to suggest so Sol about the rite of battle Apparently, this triangle syranted upon those undergoing the rite of battle — it seeical nature Therefore, the advisors will be going all out on you for sure Luckily for us we have the best weapons supplier one could ask for” Jin was happy to be able to help out as he was more experienced in co experience in that battle department and decided to leave it to Jin ”Recommend away I will take whatever you say” Qiu Yue smiled sweetly as she stared into Jin's honest eyes for a while as he rauess, you can change into this set of clothes Stats wise, it provides s too” Jin passed her a singlet with shorts, along with a long coat si about the long coat was that it could insert(Not toinscription which Qiu Yue would like very o shorts were her staple kind of fashi+on when she ith Jin back then and he simply chose the colours she preferred Navy Blue and Black
