Lord of Flames - Chapter 153

Chapter 153: Princess’ mission! Terrible Guess!

Two thousand birdmen warriors flew back to the misty mountains.

“Everyone has worked so hard. Let’s rest a bit. At night, I’ll give all of you a drumstick as a reward!”

Mia said to the birdmen.

Yan Nation had now started to breed poultry in the forest.

The poultry mainly included chickens and ducks.

There were some forests that were rich in medicinal resources. Of course those areas wouldn’t be used to raise the poultry, as they would eat it up.

Originally, the forests used to be poor in resources.

But after orcs moved to live on the plains, the resources in the forest started to become enriched.

There were more animals.

However, large-scale farming had not begun yet.

Nowadays, chickens and ducks were usually brought back by people, who put them in sacks and carried them on their backs. As the magic bags couldn’t hold living things for a long time.

Meng Ying came to the temple and gave the magic bags to some of her confidants. After they put the wealth they got from the Slow Family into the national treasury, she met the fox girl, Qing Ling, and told her about their trip.

Because of Meng Ying’s absolute strength, this time it wasn’t that much dangerous. In other words, the old Earl’s plan might have worked if not for Meng Ying.

It had almost worked, well almost… But it would have never worked.!

Because Meng Ying had absolutely no intention to enter the golden hall!

She just wanted to see what the old Earl was up to!

The fox girl, Qing Ling, listened to the whole story with great relish, and after listening to it, she asked: “Did Xi Ling Kingdom send any magister to intervene?”

Meng Ying shook her head and said, “No, I deliberately delayed the journey, but the eastern part of the Xi Ling Kingdom did not have the presence of any magister higher than the seventh rank. It will take a long time for them to come from the western part of the country. What about it? Isn’t our mission completed just fine?”

The fox girl, Qing Ling, nodded and said: “Okay, the envoy is almost ready. How long will it take to leave?”

Meng Ying said: “The day after tomorrow. I’m taking a day off, just to let this matter ferment a little more.”

The fox girl, Qing Ling, asked: “Are you going on this trip? Maybe I or one of the other Holy Maidens should go instead?”

Meng Ying said: “How can I let you go? As you are a saint and the Queen of the Yan Nation. So it’s not suitable for you to go there. And if you let them go, I don’t think they would be able to see much. ”

The fox girl Qing Ling said: “Holy Maiden, you have worked hard!”

Meng Ying shook her head and said, “I like doing things for our God.”

The fox girl Qing Ling said: “Holy Maiden, you should go and have some rest, leave the rest to me.”

“OK!“

Meng Ying nodded.

It would take a lot of time to collect and arrange the wealth obtained from the Slow Family.

Qing Ling sent more than 100 fox girls for this purpose.

Meng Ying, on the other hand, returned to her room in the temple, closed her eyes and meditated. For her, meditation was rest.

She was always so diligent!

The fox girls collected the Slow family’s wealth until the end of the next day.

The number of gold coins owned by the Slow Family was amazing. There were several million coins.

If one calculated the weight of these gold coins, at the weight of 10g per coin, there would be gold weighing dozens of tons!

In addition to gold coins, the Slow Family had also collected a large number of exquisite jade, glass, pearls and other jewelry.

There were a lot of calligraphy scrolls and paintings.

As well as some precious books.

All these things were quite valuable in the land of gods.

The documents of the lands owned by the Slow family were also in it, but after the death of the original owner, the lands could only be inherited by the legal heir. If there was no legal heir, the land would be managed by the royal family, and it would be useless even if others wanted to take advantage of the documents.

Those documents were worthless and were burnt to ashes.

As the Slow family was completely destroyed, their land would most certainly fall into the hands of the royal family and the church.

The management of all the Slow’s wealth was quite simple.

All the gold coins were melted and recast into Yan Nation’s gold coins.

The calligraphy scrolls and paintings were collected.

The jewels were also collected.

As the jewelry price kept changing on the continent. They just needed to find a suitable time to sell it and they could take advantage of the high price to make a profit.

And that day at noon, a flying squad of around 100 people flew over the misty mountains towards the Yan Nation.

It was almost half of the air force of the Xi Ling Kingdom!

This flying squad was composed of various flying warcrafts.

No way, the flying warcrafts were way too hard to capture. The flying warcraft meant for the flying squad must be strong enough to carry people. At the same time, it must be mild tempered.

That’s why the whole Xi Ling kingdom only had over 200 flying warcrafts, but there were more than a thousand trained “knights”.

Because during a battle, killing the “knight” on the back of warcraft was easier than targeting flying warcrafts. Hence, there were so many spare ‘knights’.

At this time, all the soldiers on the flying squad were dressed in uniform.

They were wearing a red shirt with a white collar, and on top of that was thick armor and a helmet. Under the helmet was chain armor to protect the neck.

The collar of their shirt was embroidered with a beautiful badge.

There was a flower on the badge.

At the forefront of these flying warcrafts, a girl in a gorgeous costume with a crown of blue flowers was sitting on a warcraft. To her right was another girl in armor with a sword around her waist.

These two girls weren’t that old, but not that young either. They should be around 17 or maybe 18 years old.

Their flight soon passed Sir hawk’s territory and headed for the misty mountains.

The girl with the sword around her waist said:

“Princess, there are misty mountains ahead. After misty mountains, there is Orc Kingdom, where the newly emerging Yan Nation is located.”

The girl wearing the flower crown looked down at the seemingly endless, misty mountains, her eyes full of curiosity.

She asked, “I heard that one of the Great Magisters of the Yan Nation destroyed the Slow family, Is that true?”

The girl with the sword said: “Yes, princess. The Slow family prevented the sale of the magic beans of the Yan Nation and sent troops to surround Sir Hawk’s territory. It is said that when the old Earl was about to kill Sir Hawk, he was attacked by the Great Magister of the Yan Nation. ”

The flower-crowned girl was puzzled and said, “The Yan Nation came to our territory to kill our nobles. Why did my father send me to the Yan Nation to send a lot of precious gifts and let me apologize on behalf of the Slow Family? Why did he give permission to the Yan Nation to sell Magic beans?“

The girl with the sword shook her head and said, “Princess, I don’t know. His Highness must have his reason to do that. Let’s just do what we are told to do.”

The flower-crowned girl said: “Well, I’ve heard a lot about Yan Nation. I heard that the lifestyle of the Orc kingdom is very primitive. There are basically no cities. Even if there are cities, they are dirty, messy and poor. In short, they aren’t that well established at all. So this time, Let’s just focus on our task provided by His Highness as soon as possible, and then come back“

The girl with the sword said, “Princess, this trip is mainly for you. You must finish the task. I, Ning Cui, am only responsible for protecting your safety.”

While talking, the flying squad flew to the place where people from the birdmen tribe were on guard.

The flying squad was quite large, with more than a hundred people spread in the sky, and it looked quite large.

Those birdmen on the front line of the Misty Mountains were not among the 2000 air forces that were previously sent to the Xi Ling Kingdom. Many birdmen who were not that strong in fighting were also sent to the Xi Ling Kingdom.

However, there were still nearly 500 fully armed birdmen in the front line. With hundreds of other birdmen, there were almost 1000 birdmen on guard.

Seeing the Xi Ling Kingdom’s flying squad coming toward the territory of the Yan Nation, the birdmen exchanged whispers with each other. Soon, more than 200 fully armed birdmen flew over and stopped the flying squad.

The captain of the birdmen squad said:

“This is the territory of Yan Nation starting from here on and you can’t enter without permission. Please stop moving!”

Behind the princess, a knight sitting on the flying warcraft said:

“We are the envoys of the Xi Ling Kingdom, led by Her Excellency Princess Luo Ying of the Xi Ling Kingdom. We are here to visit your lord to congratulate on the establishment of your country. Please inform your lord about us!”

The leader of the birdmen said, “Ok, just a moment, please. I’ll send someone to report it right away.”

With that, the leader of the birdmen sent three fast birdmen warriors to the city of miracles to report!

In fact, these winged warriors had a fast communication magic spell. However, the communication range of this kind of communication magic spell was not as far as magic secret letters. Basically, they could only communicate with the city of miracles!

But this kind of magic spell was not that easy to use. It was usually used only in critical situations, such as when the enemy attacked.

Obviously, the birdmen captain thought that the current situation was not critical!

More than a hundred people from the Xi Ling kingdom waited in the air.

The Princess didn’t show any signs of impatience, so others didn’t dare to have any impatience, either.

Beside the crowned princess, the sword girl whispered:

“Your Highness, look at their equipment. They are as good as our elite force.”

The princess gave a “hmm” and waited patiently.

“The envoy of the Xi Ling kingdom was visiting Yan Nation led by the Princess of the Xi Ling Kingdom.’’

After the fox girl, Qing Ling, got the news, she immediately called Meng Ying.

The two women glanced at each other, and both saw some meaning in each other’s eyes.

Meng Ying stood up and said: “Saint, now we have more than 80% confidence to confirm whether the news revealed by Martha is true or not!’’

“Indeed!”

Although the envoy had not arrived yet, Meng Ying was certain that the news that Martha gave her was true!

Not only was the god of the Xi Ling Kingdom defeated in the battle of gods!

The Xi Ling Kingdom was also about to face an attack from another kingdom!

Otherwise, Right after Meng Ying destroyed a noble family, Xi Ling kingdom would not send an emissary group just to celebrate the establishment of Yan Nation!

It did not make any sense, right?

This proved one thing.

Xi Ling Kingdom was afraid of being attacked from two sides.

So they wanted to have a stable relationship with Yan Nation.

Well, in the view of the royal family of the Xi Ling Kingdom, Yan Nation must be a wild place, right?

From the human’s point of view, the orcs didn’t have a brain at all. Just give them some benefits, and they’ll cooperate with you.

As for their god, they didn’t care whether the orcs knew about their god being defeated in a battle.

Originally, the fox girl Qing Ling and Meng Ying were prepared to send an envoy to the Xi Ling kingdom to test the state of Xi Ling kingdom.

Unexpectedly, the Xi Ling Kingdom took the initiative to send an envoy so soon. Naturally, this meant that there were problems in the Xi Ling Kingdom.

Of course, if it were not for the two of them or if the orc kingdom was still in the hands of the lion clan. The old lion king would not have been able to guess so much information with that mind of his, and his guesses on the nature of human behavior.

Whether it was the fox girl Qing Ling or Meng Ying, both were exceptionally smart!

The fox girl Qing Ling nodded and said, “Well, that should be it. Let’s receive the envoy group first and see what they are up to.”

“Ok!”

Above the Misty Mountains, after waiting for almost twenty minutes, the three birdmen finally flew back.

“Our Highness invited the delegation to the city of miracles!”

A birdman conveyed the words of fox girl Qing Ling to the leader of the birdmen.

Upon hearing the order, the captain of the birdmen said: “Let’s go.”

Nearly two hundred birdmen neatly made a path. They arranged themselves on both sides of the road and their movements were quite neat and uniform!

Upon seeing the two hundred well-equipped and disciplined birdmen warriors, the flower-crowned girl, the Princess Luo Ying of the Xi Ling kingdom thought that, perhaps, this Yan Nation was different from what they had imagined?
