What? Even the Fifth Princess is here?
What... is going on??
Although this expedition was clearly intended to earn merit for the Third Prince, it still involved a trip to the Inazuma Empire, a place unfamiliar to everyone. Most importantly, the Inazuma people would not surrender easily, and one or even several bloody battles would be inevitable. Did you princes and princesses really think this was a vacation?
Huh? You guys are really here for tourism?
Your Highness, you can't joke like that! Should I send the two princesses back? Uh, neither princess wants to go back? You made plans to visit Princess Yoda at her house?
I go! ! !
Although General Bai Hao was truly unwilling, he ultimately couldn't disobey the Third Prince's wishes, because Qin Feng later said, "If they want to go, then take them. Anyway, if they can get hurt because of me, then I'll probably be in the same boat..."
Well, if the Third Prince is injured, it basically means that this expedition has failed. Everyone should go back and get some rest.
So in the end, Bai Hao had no choice. After all, he was in a dilemma. If he were to send the two princesses back to the capital, it would definitely not be a small team. It would take at least five or six days to travel there. If they encountered some foolish person who kidnapped the princesses, and there were two of them, he would not be able to atone for his sins even if he died a hundred times. He would not even be able to commit suicide!
But if we send a large force to escort the two princesses back, should we wait for them to return or not?
If we wait, it will take at least seven or eight days for the trip to and from the destination, by which time the opportunity will have passed.
However, if they don't wait, it means that the Qin army going on this expedition to Japan will be much smaller. After all, they are going deep into enemy territory alone and will hardly receive any support or supplies from the rear. Therefore, losing such a large force may directly affect the progress of the war. At the very least, Bai Hao will feel very constrained in some tactical arrangements!
So when the Third Prince Qin Feng made the final decision to bring the two princesses, Bai Hao and the other generals could only agree to the arrangement. The only thing that comforted them was that the palace maids Qin Feng brought were all quite skilled.
That's barely acceptable, at least once the war starts, Bai Hao and his men won't need to specifically allocate troops to protect His Highness the Prince...
what?
Zhiwei, you said His Highness the Prince already possesses tenth-level strength? Mei's thinking, Mei's busy, Lin's here...
You were just joking with your dad, right?
Well, I haven't been busy lately and haven't had time to go back to the capital, so I don't know what's going on here.
Wait a minute, Zhiwei, when did you reach the ninth level of strength?
Good heavens, when did this happen? I've only been away from the capital for a little over half a month, and the world has already changed?
Why didn't Dad send a message about such a big thing?
Wait, why are there two people from the Western Continent with His Highness the Third Prince? Oh, she's the assassin who came to kill His Highness, but His Highness has taken her in now?
Does this work too?
His Highness the Third Prince is truly magnanimous. If it were me, I would have executed her by slow slicing long ago...
Wait, you're saying that His Highness the Prince was also subjecting her to slow slicing, even stabbing her with a big sword every day?
No wonder, no wonder. After all, she's a rare foreign beauty. Her figure, her waist, her hips—Your Highness's taste is truly extraordinary. Just be careful not to hurt yourself!
Wait! Wait, wait... just a minute!
Bai Zhiwei, what did you just say? This female assassin is at the tenth level? How is that possible? She's so young, she looks to be in her early twenties at most, and she's at the tenth level?
Hey Rong Yi, hit me! Do I have a hearing problem?
But what was even more disheartening was that when Bai Hao and the others saw the palace maids around Qin Feng remove their helmets, they discovered that each of these maids possessed strength above the ninth rank, and some of them were outrageously beautiful. In particular, each of them was now the private property of the Third Prince Qin Feng, and could not only be used for fighting and chores, but also for serving him in bed...
General Bai Hao and all of them were deeply shocked and decided to wash up and go to bed early that day.
Damn it, not only are all the palace maids around him beautiful, but they are also all experts. His Highness the Third Prince is really lucky!
No wonder the Third Prince said that going to Inazuma was just a vacation. With his strength and his current luxurious lineup, it's really not an exaggeration to say that he's going on a vacation. As long as he's not surrounded by Inazuma's army, he'll have no problem protecting himself!
Damn it, who was it that said the Third Prince was incompetent, useless, and ignorant before?
Step forward and show me, I'll beat you to a pulp!
Huh? So this was a plot device created by His Majesty the Emperor? Just to deceive the Papacy of the Western Continent and cover up the growth of the Third Prince.
Your Majesty is wise!
His Highness the Third Prince is mighty!
Knowing about the Third Prince Qin Feng's affairs, General Bai Hao and his men relaxed considerably.
After all, this time they were going to fight abroad, and to Inazuma, a place they were unfamiliar with. In particular, they were going to directly confront the capital of the Inazuma Empire and confront Inazuma's elite army. So when they first received this order, General Bai Hao and his men did feel a lot of pressure. But now they not only know that Princess Yoda Kaori will do her best to help, but most importantly, the Third Prince's hidden trump card is simply too amazing!
Looking at the entire continent, although there are quite a few level 10 experts, not many are willing to serve others and fight. Many strong people prioritize cultivation. Unless there is a very urgent matter or the country is in crisis, they generally will not easily show themselves. After all, who doesn't want to break through that bottleneck and become a superior being?
Chapter 108: The Third Prince and the Crown Princess are busy
Besides, even a tenth-level expert is human. If surrounded by a large army, you might be able to kill many, but human strength is ultimately limited, and the final result will still be death...
Just like when Nataya tried to assassinate Qin Feng, she could only let Qin Feng do as he pleased after all her fighting spirit was exhausted!
Therefore, under normal circumstances, level 10 experts are very rare strategic reserves and will not be easily used to fight on the battlefield.
However, no one can deny that a level 10 expert has the ability to easily change the situation on the battlefield, especially when one side has a level 10 expert who has an overwhelming advantage over the enemy. With the right timing and strategy, it is not impossible for a weaker force to defeat a stronger one!
And now, the Third Prince Qin Feng has a tenth-level expert by his side...
With such a strong hand, plus the 100,000 elite troops he personally trained and cultivated, how could Bai Hao possibly lose this expedition against Inazuma?
Don't even think about it!!
Not only will he not lose, but he will also completely utterly defeat the Inazuma people, letting the whole world know the might of my Great Qin Empire!
So Bai Hao was incredibly excited on the spot, and he kept pestering the Third Prince Qin Feng to talk all night. After all, in another sense, he was now Qin Feng's father-in-law, so he naturally wanted to learn more about this rarely seen son-in-law.
Even if you don't know much about him, you can at least become acquainted with him, since the Third Prince has never shown his face in public before.
But he soon noticed that while Qin Feng was chatting and replying with a smile, the girls surrounding him were gradually becoming anxious. Especially later, even his daughter Bai Zhiwei couldn't help but say, "Dad, are you ever going to stop? Can't we talk about this tomorrow? It's so late now, and all of us sisters want to rest!"
"If you want to rest, then go and rest. Do you need to ask me for permission?"
"Who needs to ask you for permission? We're all waiting for the Third Prince to come along!"
"Huh? Together... together?"
Well, although General Bai Hao knew that his daughter had already been betrothed to the Third Prince, he did not know that Bai Zhiwei was now living with the Third Prince.
There was nothing he could do about it. He was currently holding the position of Imperial Marshal and was stationed outside the capital most of the year. He rarely returned to the capital, especially after meeting Qin Feng last time. He hurriedly returned to the Black Dragon County in the north of the empire to set up defenses, so he naturally did not know about Qin Feng's affairs at the Royal Military Academy.
In his opinion, although Qin Feng was the third prince, he should be no different from an ordinary student, right?
But then he overheard his daughter openly saying in front of him that she wanted to rest with the Third Prince that night…
General Bai Hao's first reaction was... How could this be?
After all, this is clearly unreasonable. You two aren't even married yet, how can you rest together?
Besides, what do you mean? So many of you are waiting to be with the Third Prince?
Am I just too old to keep up with the times, or are you young people just too lawless?
Of course, Bai Hao wouldn't dare say these words aloud. After all, Qin Feng's status was undeniable; he was the Third Prince of the Empire, and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, would be the future Emperor. How dare he lecture him? (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)
So he could only stand up with a forced laugh, "In that case, I won't disturb Your Highness's enjoyment any longer..."
That's what he said, but when Bai Hao finally watched his daughter leave arm in arm with Qin Feng, his feelings were still quite complicated. As a result, he tossed and turned for a long time that night and couldn't fall asleep, feeling all sorts of unpleasant emotions.
Fortunately, there was no fighting the next day, and the army hadn't even set off yet. Everyone was just preparing to board the ship. After all, it was no small matter for an army of more than 100,000 to cross the ocean. Not only did they have to take good care of themselves, but they also had to consider all sorts of unexpected events. Otherwise, given Bai Hao's condition, there might have been problems.
But for Qin Feng, there was even more nothing to do. So he simply took Bai Zhiwei and the others to Qingzhou Port, which was not far from the army's garrison, for a stroll. Although Qingzhou Port was not as prosperous as the capital, it was still quite novel for Bai Zhiwei and the others, who rarely left the capital. Not to mention the second princess Qin Lan and the fifth princess Qin Ling, who had basically never seen any other places besides the capital and Derun City, which they had visited last time!
However, there's not much to say about that. Although Qin Feng and his group had changed into civilian clothes, and he had maintained a spoiled, playboy-like demeanor throughout the journey, surrounded by beautiful women, he was still accompanied by a large group of fully armed female soldiers. Therefore, no one dared to bother him, and he certainly got a 100% head-turning rate...
Then, on the morning of the third day, with clear skies and calm seas, the army finally boarded the ship and set sail. This time, everyone's destination was clear: head straight for Inazuma Kyoto!
As mentioned earlier, the Inazuma Empire is a purely island nation with a very long and narrow shape. Although the four islands of Inazuma have a considerable area, its biggest problem is the lack of strategic depth. In particular, the Inazuma navy was completely defeated by General Bai, and the Inazuma Empire is now completely incapable of resisting attacks from the sea. Therefore, as long as the Qin Empire's army can land near Kyoto Port, it can reach Kyoto in less than half a day!
This was Bai Hao's plan: to launch a lightning attack on Kyoto and cripple Inazuma's current rulers as quickly as possible...
In this way, even if the armies from other parts of Inazuma learned of the news and rushed to the rescue, their arrival time would inevitably differ due to terrain or other factors, and the Qin army would be much easier to defend with the capital city as its base!
Most importantly, once they control Kyoto, the capital of Inazuma, the supply of these 100,000 troops will naturally be no problem. Even if they are in the most awkward situation—a protracted war—the Great Qin Empire will have the means to drag it out!
Even with a blitzkrieg, it would take at least five or six days for warships to cross the ocean and reach Kyoto port, and that's assuming good weather...
As everyone knows, taking a boat trip is a very boring experience. Although the endless blue sea and sky are stunning at first, it gets boring after just half a day, especially since many people start to feel seasick. So, the boat becomes quite lively.
Fortunately, Qin Feng doesn't get seasick, and he'll never have any free time anyway...
However, since he was so diligent, once the initial excitement of boarding the ship wore off, Bai Zhiwei and the other girls naturally all gathered in his room and began to participate in the battle more frequently. This was because they all knew that the more times their goddess souls had sex with Qin Feng, the stronger they became!
Most importantly, the more times Qin Feng did it with them, the stronger he became!
Although no one understands the principle behind this, and it greatly contradicts the education and common sense they received before, after all, all their elders had told them that people should never indulge in various desires, they now find that this is really, really difficult!
Therefore, General Bai Hao has been even more distressed these past few days. Unlike ordinary soldiers who cannot get close to Qin Feng, as the marshal of the empire, Bai Zhiwei's biological father, and the deputy commander and actual commander of this expeditionary force, Bai Hao is certainly able to get in touch with all sorts of things happening around Qin Feng. For example, when he was about to come and discuss some matters with Qin Feng, the maid outside the door told him that the Third Prince was busy...
Surely I can find my daughter, Bai Zhiwei?
Excuse me, General, the Princess Consort is also busy...
busy?
Well, hearing the various sounds coming from the not-so-soundproof room in the ship's cabin, General Bai Hao naturally knew what was happening inside, so he could only turn around and leave. But it happened once, twice, three times, four times...
Fortunately, it was time for dinner, and General Bai Hao finally saw his daughter. Moreover, Bai Zhiwei seemed to be in good spirits, without any signs of being listless or overindulging in sex. Otherwise, Bai Hao would have really wanted to kill Qin Feng!
Even so, Bai Hao later secretly pulled his daughter aside and subtly tried to find out more about the Third Prince.
Bai Zhiwei, however, was quite disdainful of his behavior...
Chapter 109: The man killed the woman and left her for me to play with.
Perhaps influenced by Athena, or perhaps because she had been completely corrupted by Qin Feng, that old rogue, Bai Zhiwei now had a very indifferent view of some things. So she directly told her father, "Don't worry about our affairs, because the Third Prince is definitely not what you think, and this is exactly how he cultivates!"
Cultivating oneself by playing around with women?
Are you kidding me?
Even if Bai Hao didn't believe it, he couldn't do anything about Qin Feng...
Five days is neither a long nor a short time; for some people, these five days are the most unbearable time of their lives!
Just like General Bai Hao.
Because he knew very well that his daughter Bai Zhiwei was being... well, they are a couple, or at least they will be a couple in the future, so it's normal for them to have sex, but the frequency you're doing is a bit too high, isn't it?
Most importantly, not only do you have sex, but you also hang out with other women, and even frequently switch between them!
Just like the twin daughters of the Hu family, Bai Hao is also familiar with them. He knows they are his daughter's good sisters, but he never expected that they were also taken in by the Third Prince, and that he would put them to play with Bai Zhiwei!
What the hell do you take my daughter for?
The problem is that Qin Feng is the Third Prince, and no matter how unhappy Bai Hao is, he doesn't dare to say anything to him. So he can only suppress his anger and then vent it on Inazuma...
After all, this world was a very backward era of cold weapons, with no satellites or radar at all. Although each city had magic towers that could provide some protection or reconnaissance, the distances were limited and they could not detect the sea beyond that point. As a result, it was not until the fifth day that Inazuma discovered the Qin Empire's warship fleet. By then, Bai Hao and his group were only half a day away from landing!
The Inazuma Empire reacted swiftly, dispatching nearby warships to monitor the situation and attempt to prevent the Qin Empire from landing. However, Bai Hao, already enraged, showed no mercy, ordering his warships to move at full speed and approach. His accompanying mage unit then unleashed a barrage of attacks, leaving the Inazuma Empire's hastily assembled navy completely bewildered…
Do you even understand reason?
We were still asking questions, and you just started firing?
The worst part was that they were completely powerless to fight back, and were quickly captured by the Qin navy, which forcibly landed after docking. All their personnel and ships were taken prisoner...
But these Inazuma Navy soldiers were relatively well-behaved, because Bai Hao needed their ships, so they held back somewhat. When they officially landed, that would be the real showdown!
After all, the Inazuma Empire had already realized that the Great Qin Empire was now pressing in with a large army, attempting to launch a forced offensive against the Inazuma Empire. But they really had nothing to say about this, because they had taken the initiative to break the ceasefire agreement and declare war. So if the Great Qin Empire didn't attack them, who would they attack?
These people never expected that the Qin Empire, which always valued etiquette and adhered to the principle of "I will not attack unless attacked," would take the initiative this time, and so swiftly, giving the Inazuma Empire no time to react...
According to the Inazuma New Cabinet's plan, they need some time to train the new recruits, then concentrate their forces to wait for an opportunity, and finally strike a fatal blow against the Qin Empire's weak points!
Therefore, as long as the Inazuma Empire can withstand the counterattack of the Qin Empire, it will be a great advantage. Moreover, no matter how the war goes on or how fierce it becomes, the flames of war will only burn on the territory of the Qin Empire and will not harm the foundation of the Inazuma Empire.
But now the situation is clearly developing in the direction they least wanted to see!
Therefore, the new cabinet of the Inazuma Empire temporarily mobilized all its troops from Kyoto and nearby cities and gathered them at Kyoto Port in an attempt to prevent the Qin Empire's warships from landing. However, these short-sighted politicians had no idea how to fight a war, especially since they seemed to have forgotten that most of these troops were still new recruits...
What, you're asking me why the new cabinet doesn't have any capable military members?
It's very simple. The Inazuma Empire had been fighting the Qin Empire for several years. Especially after General Bai took action, most of the senior officers were killed. Even those who were lucky enough to survive were not in the mood to continue fighting the Qin Empire. On the one hand, they were afraid of the fighting, and on the other hand, they knew very well that the Inazuma Empire was in no condition to defeat the Qin Empire!
So they all belong to the conservative faction, that is, they are on Empress Inazuma's side, and as a result, they have also been detained!
To put it bluntly, only politicians who only know how to shout and make noise would choose radical measures in this situation, because they are only doing it to seize more benefits for themselves.
It's easy to imagine how happy Bai Hao was when he found out... "I have warships all over here, why would I be stupid enough to dock and then land?"
