Rubik's face was sad, and he was angry, but deep down in his heart, he was extremely happy.
The Kingdom of Starlight is not weak in the south of the continent.
It is a medium-power country.
If it can be annexed Rubik believes that his status in Qiyao will be further improved.
The power of the Motu Empire is not the weakest among Qiyao, but it is not the strongest, but Rubik also does not like that the future Leah family will always look at other Qiyao.
The family behaves with their faces.
It is not easy for the Qiyao family to launch war at will.
If it were possible, the Qiyao family would have wiped out all other small countries on the continent.
For things like war, the Qiyao family needs to hold a Qiyao meeting.
Only if more than half of the families agree, that is, if at least four countries express support for the war, can large-scale troops be used.
However, wars between Qiyao families to restrain each other, occupy territory and expand their strength will basically be rejected.
No one wants other families to benefit from the war.
Others' gains are equal to one's own losses, and the checks and balances between the Qiyao family have always been like this.
But Rubik didn't think so.
After his management, the Motu Empire was prospering, and what it needed was a stage war to verify its national strength.
The Motu Empire is not the weakest among the Qiyao family.
In other words, there are actually families in the Qiyao family that are more eager to acquire more territory and occupy more resources than Rubik.
Rubik has been doing this kind of thing secretly for more than thirty years.
This war against the Kingdom of Starlight is just a trial.
After all, to launch a real war, the support of at least three families is needed.
There are always opportunities.
In the spring of this year, the Yanmian Empire, one of the Qiyao families and the second-largest super empire in terms of national power, mobilized their most powerful combat power due to marriage issues.
The Flame Dragon Knights directly invaded the Kingdom of Friedham and besieged the royal capital.
More than two months have passed.
Now as long as the Flame Crown Empire moves its fingers, this small kingdom located in the west of the mainland will disappear.
This was Rubik's opportunity, and Rubik did not hesitate to give his collection of antiques to the emperor of the Yanmian Empire, Aluflin.
Rubik only wanted to get Rubik's nod for Aluf's words at the Qiyao meeting.
Although the Kingdom of Freidham is weak, it still has a population of hundreds of thousands, and these are precious manpower. resource.
Although things had some twists and turns, at least three families finally agreed to each other's war proposals.
"The glory of Qiyao has not shined on the mainland for a long time.
This is a good opportunity for our Qiyao family to warn the world."
"Yes, some stupid kingdoms have obtained things they should not have obtained through dirty means.
This is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit of Qiyao."
"Qiyao belongs to Yonghui" "The Seven Suns of Eternal Light should send down holy judgments" "Our mission is order on the continent" "Qiyao should become more dazzling" "Alas there is no eternity, it can last forever" Emperor Rubik no longer needed to keep a mournful expression in the hall, because someone had already taken his place in the performance.
Lance.
Although the fat on Lance's belly can be twisted off to make a fat ball, this does not prevent him from shaking the "ball" and spreading his arms to let out a louder cry in front of Rubik's throne.
"Grandpa, please make the decision for your grandson.
My mother is crying all day long in the dark prison.
She can only weakly call my grandfather's name."
The same routine, the same effect, but with Karamif as an example, no one dared to speak at this time.
Rubik no longer wanted to let such a farce continue to be staged in the palace.
He stood up with a ferocious look on his face, followed by a hysterical voice, "War, this is war, do you understand what I mean from this moment on?"
, everything in the empire must pave the way for war, and all adult men are talking not about women, but about war, war."
If a powerful empire devotes all its energy to war, the power it will unleash will be astonishing.
In just half a month, a fully armed army of 50,000 people was assembled in the imperial capital, not counting other troops that had already moved to the southern border.

Rubik was very satisfied.
Once the war machine started running, it would howl with excitement and madness.
Rubik was already sixty years old, but his energy was still strong.
He told himself that he still had twenty years left.
In 20 years, he will use the remaining twenty years to achieve a height that has never been reached by anyone in the history of the Leah family.
After repelling the forward troops of the Motu Empire, the last vestige of vitality of Bonaventure IV finally came to its last moment.
On the second day in Xueman Town, the king's attendants discovered that Bonaventure IV had fallen into a coma again, and it only took one night for the king's body to become extremely weak again.
The ministers suggested returning to the royal capital, the lords suggested returning to the royal capital, and the princes also suggested returning to the royal capital.
They all thought that once the king died, whoever was in the royal capital would have the greatest initiative.
Only Xiuyin was wondering why no one suggested what to do if the Motu Empire's army came again.
However, Xiu Yin was only a small lord.
Even when the large army began to withdraw southward, no one informed him.
Xiu Yin had no choice but to return to his own territory first.
"Your Excellency Irwin, what are your plans?"
Xiuyin asked Irwin after finishing his last breakfast in Xueman Town.
The agreement with the mercenaries is over here, because the war is over, at least it seems to be.
"Oh, the war is over."
Irwin said in a tone that did not reflect the meaning of the question.
"Does your lord think so too?"
Xiu Yin shrugged and said helplessly, "What else can I do?
I'm just a small lord.
Look, they have gone so far.
I just finished breakfast."
Halfway through Xiuyin's words, a bitter voice came in, "Captain Irwin, when did our Blood Eagle Mercenary Group start serving a little lord to this extent?"
Listening to this uncomfortable voice, Xiu Yin looked up and saw a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks wearing a round hat and two tufts of mustache.
"Captain Med, I seem to have said before that there is no need to report the actions of me and my subordinates to you."
Irwin said to the visitor with some disdain
