Misi Principality.
The grand square in front of the ducal palace.
At this hour, just as dawn was breaking, a man of similar age to Luopu Si was waiting with tens of thousands of soldiers in the square, which was completely sealed off.
The reason was simple: it was an order from the new Duke. Moreover, according to the information he had obtained from Luopu Si, the Duke would be sending some reinforcements today.
This man, like Luopu Si, held the title of Count. However, Luopu Si managed internal affairs, while he was responsible for the safety of the Best Principality.
In other words, he was the supreme commander of the Best military forces, his name was James, and he was honored as Count James.
"Lord James, do you think the Duke's reinforcements will come?"
One of Count James' confidants looked skeptically at the distant horizon and asked.
Upon hearing his subordinate, Count James' brow furrowed slightly. "That... truthfully, I'm not sure. After all..."
"Only Count Luopu Si has seen the Duke. I only heard a while ago that our Best Principality had a new Duke."
"To be honest, I'm very curious as to who this new Duke of ours is."
Count James said this, but he knew from Luopu Si that their new Duke was extraordinary, and it was this Duke's actions that allowed them to so easily conquer and occupy the entire Misi Principality.
Chī~
At this moment, a passenger plane flew in from the distant horizon. Another of Count James' confidants saw the approaching aircraft.
"Lord James, look, isn't that... the reinforcements sent by the Duke?!"
As he spoke, James and several confidants around him looked towards the distant sky. As expected, they saw a passenger plane with a Huaxia logo.
"Look quickly, there are three, oh no, five!"
Then, five passenger planes sped in from the sky and finally landed on the vast square.
The gangway was lowered, and then, step by step, impeccably dressed elites with straight backs disembarked. These were the first batch of reinforcements from the Tianhai headquarters, led by none other than Luo Tian.
Soon, the members of Tianquan Security arrived at the square in front of the ducal palace of Misi Principality.
"Heh heh, you must be Count James."
Luo Tian stepped onto the ground and chuckled, "I am from Duke Ye Xuan's side, and I am here to help your country pacify the various rebel forces."
"Oh?"
Count James looked at the five thousand members of Tianquan Security in the vast square. This display alone was enough to show the extraordinary nature of his yet-unseen Duke.
"May I ask your name, sir?"
With decades of experience in judging people, Count James saw Luo Tian's extraordinary nature at first glance.
"Heh heh, I am Luo Tian, a humble subordinate of Duke Ye Xuan."
Luo Tian said humbly, but James was no fool. He naturally knew that Luo Tian could not be an unknown subordinate, as the Duke would not send an insignificant person to lead such a large contingent.
"You jest, sir."
James smiled slightly. "You may have some understanding of the current situation, Mr. Luo Tian. Do you have any plans to deal with this situation?"
"The plan is already set: we'll fight one until it's finished!"
Saying this, Luo Tian added meaningfully, "If my guess is correct, there should be a significant amount of gunpowder in the Misi Principality's arsenal."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Luo Tian's words, Count James was taken aback, and his heart grew solemn. "This fellow is not simple."
Just as Luo Tian had said, the Misi Principality lacked nothing in terms of weapons and ammunition. They could fight for a year without running out.
Clearly, this was the accumulation of several years, or even decades, by the Misi Principality, intended for the day they could swallow the Best Principality. But now, it had benefited James and his men.
"How did you deduce that?"
James, of course, would not believe Luo Tian's words based on a single conjecture.
Seeing this, Luo Tian did not keep him in suspense and said directly, "It's very simple. Just use hacking methods to trace the Misi Principality's financial expenditures over the years."
En!?
Hearing Luo Tian's words, James was shocked. He knew about hacking, and the military forces had it before. However, tracing the Misi Principality's past financial expenditures through hacking was no simple task.
In other words, this person possessed intelligence far beyond what their Best Principality could imagine.
With such intelligence, coupled with the current manpower and weapons, wouldn't suppressing the rebellions within the Misi Principality be... as easy as flipping a hand?
Count James was not foolish. If this person could trace the Misi Principality's past finances and weapon purchases, then obtaining information on the small rebel factions within the territory would be even easier.
"Oh, right."
Luo Tian thought of something and then looked at Count James. "I've only brought the first batch of reinforcements. There will be a second batch, a third batch..."
"As for how many reinforcements there will be, I'm not too sure."
Count James was stunned, then said excitedly, "There are more reinforcements?"
"Heh heh, of course."
Luo Tian smiled slightly. "Count James, you'll have plenty of reinforcements this time."
"Now, please trouble Count James to distribute weapons to the arriving reinforcements."
"Oh, right, right, right, guards!"
Then, Count James ordered his subordinates to handle the handover. Luo Tian waved his hand, and his accompanying confidants also left, while Luo Tian stayed behind to manage the overall situation with Count James.
Squad after squad of Tianquan members left with Count James' subordinates, but they were all greatly excited. Damn it, they had only used blank bullets during practice before; this time, it was real ammunition!
For a time, the numerous members of Tianquan Security were very excited and expectant.
Chichichi~
Not long after the first batch of reinforcements left the square, five more planes arrived from the distant sky, again carrying five thousand reinforcements from Tianquan Security.
"This... another five planes, my goodness!"
One of Count James' subordinates exclaimed. From what Luo Tian had told them earlier, even he himself didn't know how many reinforcements there would be, indicating that this was not the last batch.
As expected!
Five thousand people appeared on the square again, and under the guidance of a soldier of Count James, they headed towards the arsenal.
And so...
The third batch!
The fourth batch! The fifth batch!!
As waves of planes landed and batches of reinforcements arrived, Count James' confidants and soldiers were dumbfounded. There were simply too many people.
Even Count James was the same. Moreover, Count James could see that these reinforcements were all well-trained, no worse than the soldiers he had trained.
It wasn't until the afternoon that all the reinforcements had arrived, a total of thirty batches, numbering one hundred and fifty thousand in total. Count James' eyelids twitched incessantly. "My goodness, thirty batches, a total of one hundred and fifty thousand reinforcements! The Duke is truly divine!"
