The two Dark Elf tribes were in complete chaos. Several maids charged forward and were unstoppable. They had already learned what the elders looked like through intelligence, and Joel, in particular, was extremely fast. In the midst of the chaos, he killed the elder. Shizuku Misato also killed the other two without hesitation. The last one was recognized by Haruyuki while fleeing, and Kuroyukihime gave chase. In just one hour, all four elders of the two tribes had been killed.
Seeing their elder slain in the midst of battle, the rest of the Dark Elf tribe scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions. Niu Zida didn't allow his maid to pursue them, but instead cut off the elder's head and brought it back, placing it before the remaining tribesmen who had accompanied the spectators. He then had Tishu announce it before the battle lines:
"This is what happens when you rebel against your leader."
Afterwards, he had Aponia use her ability, the Commandment of Discipline, to reinforce the impression of this command in front of everyone. Aponia's ability can only reinforce commands, not simply hypnotize and change consciousness. Therefore, Niu Zida wanted to create such a deep impression in front of everyone. If Aponia then activated her ability to reinforce it, it would leave a mark in these people's minds. Resisting Tish would only lead to these elders dying a violent death.
However, the rebellion of the two major tribes was completely quelled in just one morning of fighting. As a result, the various tribes of the Dark Elves became more and more obedient to Tishu. No one dared to be disrespectful to this new leader. Even one or two tribes that were still observing quickly sent guards and hostages to show their complete submission.
Niu Zida was ruthless towards the two large tribes that had participated in the attack on the other tribes. He directly ordered Tixiu to split the two large tribes into six smaller tribes, but then gave each of the six smaller tribes two elders to divide them. This increased the number of positions in the council of elders, but the individual tribes became weaker. None of them had the ability to stand up to Tixiu on their own. Instead, they all had to rely on Tixiu's support to control the new tribes, which in turn solidified Tixiu's position as the leader.
As for the territory, Niu Zida did not further weaken these small tribes, but only divided the lands on the basis of the original territories of the two powerful tribes. This was to avoid further escalating the conflict and to quickly win over the hearts and minds of the people. Moreover, after the war ended, Niu Zida also specially ordered Tishu to lead the goblins to garrison and monitor the newly divided tribes for a period of time. In fact, this was also an implicit announcement of the existence of his goblin army.
Sure enough, no one dared to object to the appearance of goblins around Tish this time. After all, the body of the elder who opposed Tish's violent death had only been buried a few days ago, and everyone knew that with Ningguang's support, Tish was currently untouchable in the Dark Elf tribe.
During his stay here, Niu Zida specifically ordered Tixiu to distribute food to these newly divided tribes and demand that they provide detailed population figures. None of the tribes dared to disobey, and they all obediently reported their population and tribal figures. Tixiu then repeatedly verified them. Through this series of methods, Tixiu's control over the Dark Elf tribes became increasingly profound...
Chapter 229 The Strategy of the Sea of Hearts 2
Chapter 229.
After quelling the rebellion among the Dark Elves, Niu Zida and his maids stayed in the Dark Elf territory for about a week. After gaining control of the tribes by dividing them into separate groups and taking control of their populations, Niu Zida and his maids returned to Yunlai Port in early May of the year 1047 in the Continental Calendar.
Before returning to Yunlai Port, Niu Zida handed over the goblins he had recently spawned to Tishu as part of her guard, totaling 230 goblins and one elite goblin magic swordsman. Tishu also had a guard of about 70 men given to her by various tribes.
Niu Zida told Tixiu that she should not blindly trust these dark elves just because they were of the same race. On the contrary, these goblins were more reliable. She could remotely control the situation of the various dark elf tribes from her own tent, such as the production of floating true cores.
Niu Zida also specifically warned against taking action unless absolutely necessary. He advised that in case of emergency, one could send someone to Yunlai Port to contact Ningguang. If Ningguang was not there and one was unable to handle the crisis, one should go to Yunlai Port to seek refuge. He stressed the importance of not being reckless. Tixiu agreed to all of this.
Upon returning to Cloud Harbor, Niu Zida ordered Ningguang to begin preparing for the construction of a planktonic eukaryote refining factory. Here, Postman also sent an envoy, hoping that Ningguang would send someone to Hetherlink as soon as possible to begin building a factory to refine the spices from sand pupae. Under Niu Zida's instruction, Ningguang asked Postman to solve the problem of the supply of planktonic eukaryotes needed for spice refining. Only after this problem was solved could the factory begin construction; otherwise, it would be impossible to start construction.
This was, of course, Niu Zida's excuse. Extracting spices didn't require any floating nuclei at all. Sure enough, Count Postman wasn't easily fooled; he quickly wrote back explaining that extracting spices didn't require floating nuclei, and that this wasn't a clause in the original agreement. He hoped that Condensed Light could...
Chapter 294
They are willing to fulfill the contract and invest. They have already invested a certain amount of money in the early stage of land leveling and factory construction. Now they are in financial difficulty. If the factory project is repeatedly delayed and cannot be started, Heatherlink's financial budget will be dragged down.
"Master, what should we do next?"
Having obtained the letter, Ningguang went to find Niu Zida. At that moment, Niu Zida was comfortably sitting in Misaki Shokuhou's lap, with Xinhai, dressed in a nurse's uniform, kneeling between his legs, her head tilted back, sucking and swallowing his enormous member. Seeing Ningguang arrive, Niu Zida beckoned, and Ningguang followed, curling up her fleshy thighs and kneeling before him. She and Xinhai took turns sucking on Niu Zida's member with their tender red lips. Between Ningguang and Xinhai's gentle lips and tongues, Niu Zida finally chose to ejaculate into Xinhai's mouth.
Xin Hai gently moved her snowy cheeks, gurgling as she took a sip. Before swallowing, she opened her small mouth to let Niu Zida see the murky liquid remaining on her tongue. Only after Niu Zida nodded did she lower her head and swallow.
"Master, we've received a letter from Hetherlink urging us to fulfill our investment. Should we go?"
"Didn't he say that if we don't go, there will be a financial crisis? That's perfect, let's just delay it a bit longer."
Niu Zida patted Xin Hai's head proudly, who was wearing over-the-knee boots and a nurse's uniform. He was very satisfied with her service. At this moment, Misaki Shokuhou also took the initiative to lower her head and give Niu Zida a kiss.
"But Master, what if we don't fulfill the contract we signed...?"
Ningguang still couldn't trust her inner sense of contract. Niu Zida chuckled to himself, thinking that this beautiful woman was truly naive in this respect. If she still relied on the spirit of contract when dealing with someone like Postman, she would only be taken advantage of by his shamelessness. Did he talk to her about the spirit of contract when he first detained Kirito and forced the factory to be built in Heatherlink? Now he was just taking revenge.
“But Master, if we delay without a reason, it might not be so easy to persuade the other party. This would also damage our reputation. Besides, once this factory is successfully built, it will indeed help the economy of the Dore Territory.”
After Xin Hai finished eating all the rice, he finally raised his head and expressed his opinion.
"Then what do you suggest we do, little one?"
Niu Zida pinched a handful of Xin Hai's snow melon and asked this intelligent, beautiful, and pure-looking girl.
"Master is really something..."
Kneeling on the ground, curled up in a smile, she lowered her head and kissed Niu Zida's head. Then, she deliberately raised her breasts to make it easier for Niu Zida to play with them, and said coquettishly:
"Why not have Miss Ningguang agree to Postman's request and take people to build the factory, but secretly encourage Postman to take power? Let Ningguang imply that only after Count Postman becomes the true ruler of the Duchy of Hetherink can the two sides carry out more cooperation."
Is this the same old trick of luring the snake out of its hole again? Stimulating the opponent's ambition, making them emerge before they are fully developed so that they can be eliminated. I must say, Xin Hai's move is truly masterful. No wonder she is a beautiful strategist; she easily came up with a way to deal with Count Bozeman.
"But what if the other party doesn't agree?"
"That depends on the conditions proposed by Miss Ningguang. Propose more plans for building factories, use grand blueprints to make the other party lose their mind, and even hope to support Count Bozeman in annexing the Dore Territory. This way, there will be a basis for cooperation between the two sides. Miss Ningguang only wants to cooperate with people with strength. If you give such hints, the ambitious Bozeman will definitely have wild ideas."
Ningguang also began to admire Xinhai, but she was also worried. This seemingly innocent and beautiful girl always used such vicious schemes, which were all the kind that directly hit people's hearts. It was fine for her and Xinhai to be Niu Zida's harem now, but if they were to break up one day, Xinhai would definitely be a very difficult opponent to deal with. She hoped that day would never come.
Following Xin Hai's plan, Ning Guang began replying to Postman, hoping to discuss future cooperation. She also subtly expressed her opinion on the recent political situation in Heatherlink, believing that a weak Grand Duke could not guarantee her future investment in Heatherlink. She would only feel comfortable increasing her investment if a strong leader like the Earl could control the situation.
As expected, spurred on by Ningguang's words, Postman frankly expressed his ambitions in his letter, telling Ningguang not to worry, that his wedding with Princess Charlotte would take place soon, and that the duchy would naturally listen to him at that time.
“That’s not enough. We can’t let Postman think that marrying the princess will give him control of the court. We have to provoke him into usurping the throne.”
"But he's about to marry the princess, would he really do something like that?"
"Then we'll see how we can persuade him to let us know that the benefits of usurping the throne are greater than those of manipulating the court from behind the scenes."
Xin Hai saw the letter and suggested that Niu Zida take Ning Guang back to Heatherlink to directly provoke Count Bozeman's ambitions. She also explained her entire plan to Niu Zida in detail at an internal meeting...
June had arrived, and seeing that things had calmed down and nothing much was happening on the Dark Elf front, Niu Zida decided to return to Heatherlink with his harem. This time, of course, he would bring Xin Hai along, who was, in her capacity as the Coral Palace Priestess of Sea Spirit Island, accompanying Ningguang.
Chapter 295
They went there under the pretext of discussing cooperation with Heatherlink.
This time, Ningguang did not make a big fuss about entering, but instead took a relatively low-key approach to arrive in Heatherlink. On the day of her arrival, Xinhai, as the current priestess of Coral Palace, Ningguang, as the lord of Cloud Harbor, and Niu Zida, as the representative of Amelie, the regent of the Dore Territory, met with Bozeman at his private residence.
On the surface, it appears to be a gathering of several powerful factions around Heatherlink to discuss regional development with Postman. However, what Postman doesn't realize is that these factions are essentially controlled by the same person. Count Postman's lack of awareness of this fact foreshadows his inevitable downfall...
Chapter 230 Postman's Ambition
Chapter 230.
Niu Zida, accompanied by his maid, quickly returned to Heatherlink's side. This time, Postman held a private meeting with Niu Zida, Ningguang, and Xinhai. In addition to these four, Misaki Shokuhou was also there, carrying Niu Zida.
Previously, Postman had already learned of Ningguang's intentions through the letter, so everyone was tacitly aware of the content of this meeting. Postman also specifically arranged for no servants to attend this meeting, only the few people in front of him. This was also a consultation among the representatives of the most powerful territories in the vicinity.
"If possible, the factory can begin construction in Heatherlink this month."
"That would be best, after all, more than a month has passed since the agreement was reached."
"We are still very confident in our investment in Heatherlink. However, the political situation in Heatherlink is still unstable. I think Lord Postman was aware of our stance before. Businessmen care most about a stable investment environment. As for who we do business with, that is not important. I only trust those with strength."
"As long as I can marry the princess, I can stabilize the political situation within Heatherlink, so please don't worry."
This old fox, everyone knows his ambition, yet he's still playing dumb. Everyone knows you want to usurp the throne, you just don't have the guts. No way, we have to give this old bastard a hard time. Niu Zida, sitting in Misaki Shokuhou's lap, thought for a moment and then said:
"Lady Amelie of our Dore Territory shares this view. Negotiations with the Hetherink side regarding the territory of Echeberia have been ongoing for a long time. If the Duchy cannot determine a new Grand Duke, then signing a treaty to end this dispute will be a long way off. And if this territory issue is not resolved, how can we talk about the foundation of trust for cooperation between the two places? This is a long-term solution to the problem, and I hope Your Excellency will consider it."
In fact, what Niu Zida meant was that he wanted Bozeman to be able to negotiate with the Dore territory in the name of the Grand Duke. Only in this way could the treaty signed between the two territories be valid. Otherwise, if the Grand Duke died in the future and the new lord of Heatherlink was inherited by a collateral branch of the Grand Duke, wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?
"We on Haiqi Island also feel that if the Earl could represent Hetherlink to maintain order and stability in Haixi, we would welcome him."
Compared to Ningguang and Niu Zida, Xinhai's words were more prudent. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his meaning was clearer.
"Well, if I marry the princess, I'll become regent. Isn't that the same thing?"
"If Princess Charlotte is the future Grand Duke of Heatherlink, then why don't we negotiate with her?"
"If the princess succeeds to the Grand Duke position, can you guarantee that other blood relatives won't covet the Grand Duke's position in Heatherlink?"
Ningguang and Xinhai began to raise their questions, ostensibly questioning Bozeman, but actually subtly hinting at his own succession to the Grand Duke. Seeing that Bozeman remained unyielding, Niu Zida thought to himself, "It seems this time I'll have to get Shokuhou Misaki, who's skilled in mind control, to step in." So he secretly pinched Shokuhou Misaki's Ōyukiko and whispered an order:
"It's your turn to go on stage."
According to Xin Hai's plan, if Postman refused to budge, he would use Misaki Shokuhou's mental control to distort Postman's perception, stimulate his ambition, and transform his desire to marry the princess into the desire to seize control of Heatherlink, and further into the desire to usurp the Duke's position. Of course, such mental control requires someone to already have such thoughts to be stimulated. It is impossible to make someone without evil thoughts develop evil thoughts without a source. Misaki Shokuhou's abilities in this world are not that strong. In other words, Misaki Shokuhou only guided Postman's deepest dark desires to come out.
As expected, under Misaki Shokuhou's mental suggestion, Postman, who initially insisted on marrying Charlotte to stabilize the situation, gradually changed his tune after being persuaded by Ningguang and Xinhai:
"But if I'm going to marry the princess, wouldn't it be too greedy to go further?"
"Only by being able to control the situation can the smooth operation of the entire country be guaranteed. Rather than calling it greed, it should be said to be the responsibility of a nobleman."
"Furthermore, Lord Postman, I remember you said during our previous negotiations that politics is about strength, and legal principles are completely unimportant. Since you can accept goblin rule over the Dore Territory and negotiate with you, then it makes sense for us to accept a more powerful lord to represent the Duchy of Hetherink in order to maintain our commercial interests, doesn't it?"
Ningguang and Niu Zida's words seemed to be a final, definitive statement, which made Postman make up his mind. He simply asked:
If it is true
Chapter 296
.
"May I go a step further? I wonder what the attitudes of our friendly nations are?"
"Haigishima Island is willing to acknowledge it."
“Yunlaigang is also willing to admit it.”
"Lady Amelie has entrusted me with the task and is willing to acknowledge and allow the Echeberia territory to become an independent territory, provided that merchants and goods from the Dore territory are permanently exempted from commercial taxes. Resolving the Echeberia issue can also lay the foundation for further cooperation in the future."
Hearing the encouragement from the surrounding territories, Postman's ambition could no longer be contained, and he tentatively probed the waters, saying:
"If everyone trusts me this much, then I might as well give it a try."
"Of course, cooperating with a capable lord like Mr. Postman is in our best interest."
"Yes."
Everyone started praising Postman again, and at the same time, Misaki Shokuhou, under the subtle hints of Ushikota, began to exert mind control over him, fueling Postman's ambition. Finally, Ushikota went even further and said:
“I’ve heard that His Excellency the Duke has not been in good health, and I’m very worried about him. If any problems arise, I hope that Lord Postman can quickly stabilize the situation, as this is the best opportunity we can have right now.”
At this point, the topic had been pretty much laid bare, and Postman understood perfectly. In fact, this problem wasn't just Niu Zida's instigation. Although Charlotte had never directly said she wanted to call off the engagement, every time Postman brought up the idea of getting married and having the wedding, Charlotte would use the excuse that her father was still sick and that she hoped the Duke could attend her wedding to postpone the ceremony. This, of course, increased Postman's anxiety.
Ultimately, Misaki Shokuhou couldn't simply turn Postman into a villain out of thin air; she merely brought out his existing thoughts. Postman already had similar thoughts, but they were buried deep inside him.
"We can provide the necessary support if needed."
"Don't worry about that, I have my own ways of doing it."
The group then discussed further cooperation issues. By the time the three left Postman's mansion, it was already late at night. To prevent Postman from suspecting them of collusion at a crucial moment, Niu Zida deliberately arranged for Xin Hai, Ning Guang, and himself to stay in three different places. Last time, he and Ning Guang were partners as business associates, but now that they were involved in Heatherlink's domestic political issues, Niu Zida felt that it was best to keep some distance from Ning Guang for the time being to avoid arousing Postman's suspicion.
Back in his bedroom, Niu Zida specially pulled Misaki Shokuhou and Aponia into the bathroom to take a bath together. The inn rooms this time were much more luxurious than the last time, especially since Bozeman had allocated quite a few rooms to Niu Zida, showing how much he valued him.
Once inside the bathtub, Aponia lay down on the bottom, embracing Ushio Tatsu. Then, Misaki Shokuhou, holding her large breasts, pressed them against Ushio Tatsu's short frame from behind, beginning to massage them. Ushio Tatsu lay on Aponia's delicate body, kissing her large breasts as if they were treasures, especially her tender red nipples, which he repeatedly tasted.
"Aponia's jujubes are so delicious..."
"Master is starting to act cute again... Looks like today's negotiations went very well, right?"
Chapter 231 Aponia and Misaki Shokuhou
Chapter 231.
"It's alright, I have to say I have to thank Misaki Shokuhou's abilities for today."
"Not at all, it's all thanks to Master's good timing."
With a sweet smile, Misaki Shokuhou seemed to always be smiling, coupled with her sweet voice, delicate, doll-like features, slender waist, and, most importantly, her large, unusually large breasts, Misaki Shokuhou looked like a very alluring and beautiful girl.
Upon hearing Niu Zida's praise, Misaki Shokuhou deliberately blew air into Niu Zida's ear, then took the initiative to kiss Niu Zida's head with her tender red lips. After that, she and Niu Zida turned their heads and kissed each other, their tongues intertwining and exchanging saliva. They only separated after a long, wet kiss, with strands of saliva pulling between their lips and tongues, which stretched out for quite a while before breaking.
Savoring the sweet, gentle touch of the long-haired, big-breasted beauty's lips, Niu Zida's lower body swelled to its limit. Seeing this, Aponia tried to guide Niu Zida into her honeypot with her snow-white hands, but was refused.
“Mom Aponia, I want to do it with your big nipples.”
Upon hearing Niu Zida's request, Aponia could only hold Niu Zida as he straddled her breasts, letting his large, thick member thrust hard between her nipples. She, in turn, held his large, white breasts between them, using her smooth, white flesh to repeatedly stimulate Niu Zida's member as it thrust into her soft vagina.
"Mmm... Master's... is so big..."
“No, I think Aponia’s mother has really big breasts too… they can even hold this up…”
Niu Zida enjoyed Aponia's services while also giving Misaki Shokuhou a passionate kiss. The two kissed passionately for a long time before separating. Perhaps because the temperature in the bathroom was too high and the kiss was too long, both Niu Zida and Aponia were breathing rapidly.
"Master, today you asked me to provoke Postman's ambition. What if the charade actually turns out to be real?"
"We definitely can't let Postman succeed. My next step is to contact Charlotte and..."
Chapter 297
Charlotte's support has been secured.
Isn't this just entrapment? They manipulated Bozeman into rebelling, then contacted others to quell the rebellion. Although Misaki Shokuhou doesn't have a good impression of people like Bozeman, she honestly doesn't approve of Niu Zida's behavior of manipulating others' minds. At least in her principles, manipulating others' minds requires taking responsibility for them, which is where her sense of justice lies.
"People like Postman have long harbored rebellious intentions. Do you think others can't see it? Princess Charlotte's continued refusal to marry him already speaks volumes. My request for you to stimulate his desires was merely to expose him early so that it would be easier to deal with him. If he truly had no intention of usurping power, wouldn't he have invited Princess Charlotte to yesterday's secret meeting? Judging from his actions in controlling the political situation in Heatherlink, you know that he is no good person. So, Misaki Shokuhou, don't use your naive sense of justice to judge such people. The nobles of this other world are too naive about them and will suffer the consequences."
