The locusts were the Harpies invading fro countries had their main enemies, they still had to deal with some secondary enemies as well The co to deal with a wide range of enereatest eneers, then the Beasts However, they also had a s with the Harpies that had infiltrated human territory via Liaoye Country’s borders to the southwest

The Harpies weren’t very strong, but because they had wings, even the lowest-tier Harpies could fly They had great mobility and were hard to kill, which hy the hu Country called theh they eak locusts, a certain amount of manpower and resources were still necessary to deal with the soap was not a bad idea

Lin Mengze glanced at Su Chen “Su Chen, the Heavenly Might Battalion has a bond with you that was forged through a life or death situation I will hand them over to you……”

Su Chen immediately said loudly, “Many thanks for Your Majesty’s favor Your subject is willing to accept this condition!”

“But you htly I do not want to hear about anyup trouble”

“I will absolutely clear up the southwestern skies for Your Majesty!” Su Chen replied with conviction

Finally, the dust had settled Both Su Chen and Lin Chenyuan felt their hearts ease up

Yes, this was Su Chen’s real goal

He chose to retreat by advancing Using the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, which wasn’t really even in Long Sang proper, to bargain for the Heavenly Might Battalion was an incredibly favorable exchange As for Lin Chenyuan, he was not only able to gain favor with many of the Bloodline nobility Clans but had also found an opportunity to tattle on Lin Wenjun and stop his momentum He had as much reason as Su Chen to celebrate

The battle for the throne was incredibly vicious Anyone who lost could only resign theic fate

Lin Chenyuan was acutely aware of this He knew that he had lost the ability to back down a long tio All he could do was try to turn every situation possible in his favor

This time, his victory had tipped the scales in his favor

And quite significantly at that

This was because he heard Lin Mengze say, “It see and is smoothly Well, I should probably transfer hier Extereneral of the Flatwave Ar froeneral of a coze was clearly de his dissatisfaction with Lin Wenjun’s actions

This dissatisfaction stemmed not just from this one incident After hundreds of years of constant conflict and squabbling, the Crown Prince had becoze

This was the inevitable outcoze knew that his sons were fighting with each other

But what of it?

This was the normal condition of every imperial household, after all!

In order for the emperor to maintain control of his throne and fairly administrate the country, he needed experience in political disputes, adainst eneht did you have to contend for the throne?

If you rong, you rong, and if you were defeated, you were defeated There was no room for excuses

In this instance, Lin Chenyuan was taking advantage of the opportunity to slander his older brother Lin Mingze was very aware of this fact

But so what?

The fact of the matter was that Lin Wenjun had ed to effectively deal with the situation, rope in Su Chen, stabilize the country, and appease the arze punish Lin Chenyuan over Lin Wenjun?

Lin Mengze was very sober, but he wouldn’t change his decision because of this

If Lin Wenjun wanted to bla defeated by his opponent

Not taking the Crown Prince title fronificant opportunity

After he received the reward, Su Chen retreated

Lin Mengze had too hout the day He didn’t have the free time to idly chat with Su Chen

Su Chen walked down the steps of theat the entrance to receive the sealed ribbon, stationary, and imperial seal From this moment on, he was the owner of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain In addition, he had been given the responsibility to defend the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, which was in some sense equivalent to an official title However, he had no real authority In addition, because the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain was in the wilderness, very few humans lived there, and there weren’t even any other officials responsible for overseeing the territory

That would be hard to say in the future

After taking care of thisCity forfor news about Lin Wenjun and the Heavenly Might Battalion

Three days later, Su Chen received word that Lin Wenjun was stripped of his position and left the Flowing Gold Fort Xiang Rui was released that very sa was released froht thousand soldiers appeared in a s City
