I just covet their strength

Chapter 241 Can you give me some strength?
On the southeastern border of the empire, on the vast plains, a legion is slowly entering an unfamiliar frontier territory.

Protected by armored vehicles and floating battleships, thousands of warriors held high the flag of the Wheel of Purity, a symbol of pure light, and sang the distant "Song of Purity".

This song, created by the ancestors of the Bright Forest and passed down orally for thousands of years, has an ethereal air as if it came from ancient times, telling the story of how the ancestors overcame difficulties and built their homeland while bathing in the sunshine.

The melody is positive, beautiful and moving.

It really doesn't sound like a military song, but because of this, "Song of Brightness" washed away the army's inherent murderous atmosphere, allowing the imperial people in the pioneering territory to dare to walk out of their homes and line the streets to watch this army that is about to dominate the border area.

"Is this the army led by Qinghui?"

"He is truly a teacher of kings."

"Mighty and civilized, with strict military discipline, no wonder they were able to drive out Chaos and recover their homeland in such a short time."

"I know the Bright People. If nothing else, their image is really beautiful."

"Are we all going to follow Qinghui's orders from now on?"

"Perhaps he will directly annex the current Lord Qinghui. He is very ambitious."

"."

People watched the legion move in and talked about it.

In addition to those floating warships, the most eye-catching thing about this legion is the [Qinghui Guards] walking in the front, either on foot or riding on owl beasts, and almost every Qinghui Guard is wearing expensive construct armor.

This kind of strategic armament is only equipped to elite warriors. Since we have the support of Yuanxi Territory and the People of the Sky, it is no problem to arm all the Qinghui Guards. There is no problem in switching between the two sets.

The exquisite armor of the construct battle armor reflects a shining glow in the sun, and because of the special temperament of the knight's way, it looks awe-inspiring and majestic.

The man riding on the warhorse at the front of the guard team was more eye-catching than any warship or legion.

Westhead was wearing a black military uniform trimmed with gold and silver threads, which fit his well-proportioned and strong body tightly.

He wore a [Shadow Life] on his belt, and his long boots and trousers exuded a cold temperament.

A single shawl embroidered with a bright wheel covered his left arm, while his right arm held the reins, and the man held his head high.

The red eye shadow outlined around the purple eyes made the originally deep and charming eyes appear even more sharp. I didn't dare to look into her eyes at all.

Because he wanted to show the majesty of the leader in front of the people, Westhead did not engage in seduction, but instead showed his most serious side.

Facts have proved that even if we don't count his ability to "attract the opposite sex", Westhead is also extremely outstanding if we simply evaluate his personal charm.

"That's Lord Qinghui?"

"He's even more handsome than I imagined."

"That's the rumor."

"Nonsense! Lord Qinghui can tell at a glance that he is a man among men, a male among males. How could he do such a thing?"

"I think it's a rumor. Lord Qinghui is probably just a playboy. Given his situation, it would be difficult for him not to attract many men, right?"

"That's true. I said it was just a rumor. It's fine if it's just private talk. Don't take it seriously."

"Compared to that, the story of Lord Qinghui slaughtering the God of the Wilderness is more exciting. Men should listen to this."

"Ah! A real man should be like this!"

"."

Westhead looked straight ahead, but tried his best to catch the discussions of the people in the pioneer territory with his ears, and nodded secretly.

That's right, that's how I whitewashed myself, creating more legends about my wisdom and bravery. Although I don't care much about "selling literature", I still need a good image to gain faith.

When the Qinghui Guards escorted Westhead to the center of the pioneer territory, the lord of the pioneer territory immediately came forward with a group of officials and saluted cautiously:

"Mr. Qingqinghui, we respectfully welcome you."

"Don't be nervous. We, the Qinghui Army, have accepted the commission from the imperial capital to protect the people of the empire at the border."

Westhead spoke in a kind and friendly tone, but he did not get off his horse. He maintained a condescending attitude and said:

"Although Kaituo Territory is not yet a province of the Empire, you are still a neighbor of Qinghui Territory. As the Branch of Prosperity, it is only natural for us to help you. Next, in order to maintain stability and tranquility in the border areas, we will implement militarized management of the city. Is that ok?"

"Yes, you are absolutely right. I will do as Lord Qinghui said."

The local lord forced a smile, nodded and agreed continuously, then took Westhead to his mansion and began to gradually complete the handover of power.

Westhead walked alone into the garden of the mansion, sat down with his sword in his hand, and closed his eyes to concentrate.

This is the fourth pioneer territory that Qinghui Territory has incorporated into its military control. It has been basically like this all the way. Just give one notice in advance, and then the army can go there, move in, and take over the military and political power of the pioneer territory.

The reason was that Selvira was too sensible. A few days after Westhead sent the letter, he received a reply from the imperial capital.

His Royal Highness the Regent highly praised Westhead's integrity and ambition in sharing the country's worries, and with a wave of his hand, he directly appointed Duke Qinghui, the "Branch of Prosperity", as the full-power governor of the empire's southeastern border in the name of the Imperial Center.

Simply put, as long as it is a territory that the imperial center cannot control, whether it is a frontier territory or a remote imperial province, Westhead can take it over in the name of "risk of subversion, advance investigation and protection". It can be said that his authority is unlimited.

Although Celivilla did not provide any material support except a letter of appointment and a few gifts representing the governor's status, the regent put pressure on the nobles in the imperial capital, requiring all those who sent their tribesmen to open up the border to obey orders.

What about those pioneering lords who were not sent out by the imperial capital nobles?

This means that there is no one behind it, and it is not worth mentioning. The Qinghui Legion drove the floating battleship into the air. Any clear-headed pioneer lord would know what to do.

This is not the same time as White Rock City.

Chaos is striking, the gods have lost contact, the order that mortals used to follow is collapsing, and there are only two kinds of people in power in the world.

One is the weak and timid people who only want to return to the past order;

One type is ambitious and despises imperial authority.

The former naturally could not resist the authorized Qinghui Gong, but for the latter, direct criticism of weapons was enough.

Nowadays, there is no enemy in the frontier areas that can stand up to the Qinghui Legion.

It is indeed very comfortable to expand power without bloodshed, but it is not completely comfortable.

Because Westhead's goal was to accumulate merits, he was just a little bit away from becoming a legendary figure, and although he could accomplish his goals quickly, he would not be able to achieve great things.

"Hey, can you give me some strength?"

Westhead sighed, looking up to the sky.

As if his words were true, on the fourth day after Westhead entered the city, bad news came.

Huge numbers of refugees poured in from neighboring provinces of the empire.

They brought shocking news.

"The Dongluoye Province is destroyed."
