After Maxing out all Classes

Chapter 671: Send a military force over there

The queen saw that she couldn't persuade Robb, and a trace of worry deepened in her eyes, but she didn't try to persuade him again.

She understood that when a man had decided something, not even eight horses could pull him back.
Of course, men often made foolish decisions and stubbornly persisted, leading to their own downfall.
But it was precisely because of this tenacity and spirit that men were able to achieve what others couldn't and create a new world.

Even if there were ten thousand fools who couldn't be persuaded, as long as one of them succeeded, the world would move forward one step.

If all men became wise and obedient, not daring to take risks, try to challenge themselves or the future, the world would stagnate instead of progress.
Short-sighted women might not understand this, they only knew how to dissuade their men, but those like the queen, who had exceptional vision and insight, certainly did.

She was only worried, but never obstructed.
 

The call was hung up!

The queen thought carefully and then turned to the attendant next to her, “Summon all the important ministers to come.”

In no time, all the important ministers of West Gran were gathered together.

The queen said to them sternly, ” Westwind City is acting recklessly! That damn man doesn't intend to move his wealth, and I can even sense that he wants to attract the black dragon Avicus and fight it to the death.”

As soon as they heard this, the expressions on the ministers' faces were extremely interesting.
 

A moment later, a minister stepped forward and whispered, “For us, this may be an opportunity to take back Westwind City.
If that man is killed by the black dragon, we can easily regain control of Westwind City.”

“Don't be ridiculous,” the queen said indifferently.
“What's the use of taking back a city that has been razed by a black dragon? Do we rebuild it for fun?”

The minister thought carefully and then withdrew in embarrassment.

A commander stood up and asked, “Your Majesty, what do you want to do?”

The queen said seriously, “We may need to prepare for a battle with the black dragon.”
 

This statement shocked everyone in the room.
All the ministers showed an expression of disbelief, and even a few of them started to shake.

A minister immediately said, “Your Majesty, are you asking our soldiers to go die?”

A commander also said, “We do not fear death, but going to fight an enemy with such a significant strength gap is not bravery, but stupidity.
It will only lead to loss of lives and no benefits.”

The queen's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled deeply, “I did not mean to send soldiers to their death, because we may not necessarily lose.
That damn man is still in Westwind City! As long as he is there, we might be able to fight the black dragon.”

Ministers shook their heads together, “There have been many heroic figures in the past, and everyone thought they could fight the Black Dragon, but in the end, the result was their deaths…
This beautiful wish is ultimately just a wish, and reality will always crush our hopes time and time again.”

“I certainly understand this truth,” said the queen.
“But we cannot give up any opportunity to defeat the Black Dragon.
Avicus, the Black Dragon, is a common enemy of all people and all kingdoms on the mainland.
If we cannot defeat it, we will always live in fear.”

She pointed to a minister and said, “You moved dozens of treasures out this morning and buried them deep in the ground in a small town in the countryside.
You do this kind of stupid thing every four years.
Don't you feel uncomfortable?”

The minister lowered his head awkwardly and said, “I don't mean to run away.
I just want to reduce the probability of being attacked by the Black Dragon of Bright Road.”

The queen then pointed to another minister and said, “You also moved things out of the city this morning.”

That minister also lowered his head awkwardly.

“Do you all want to live like rats forever?” the queen asked.
“When the cat comes, do you all just hide in a hole?”

The ministers remained silent.

No human being wants to live like that!

Everyone's face showed a sense of indignation, but what good is indignation? The power gap is too great, and there is no chance of resistance, just like a mouse never even thinks about fighting back against a cat.

“I want you to prepare an army,” said the queen.
“After the New Year of 1348, station it a few miles away from Westwind City and keep an eye on the city.
If Avicus the Black Dragon really comes, I don't expect the army to fight immediately, but they must be prepared.
If…”

At this point, she paused and said very seriously, “If that man cannot defeat the Black Dragon and dies instantly, the army will immediately withdraw and not make any unnecessary sacrifices.”

When the ministers heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.
That would not be a problem.

“But if that man really has the strength to fight the Black Dragon, and if there is even a little hope of victory, we will fight together!” the queen continued.
“At that time, I will also pass through the portal to Westwind City and fight alongside you all.”

This sentence made the ministers' long-suppressed blood boil.

If there was a chance to kill the cat, which mouse would be willing to hide in a hole forever?

The ministers all bowed together and said, “We obey!”

The next few days were the days when Robb witnessed the wonders of the mainland.

From autumn to winter, for a full two quarters, the entire mainland was undergoing a large-scale reshuffling of population and wealth.

The wealthy and nobles living in the big cities were doing everything they could to transfer their wealth to rural areas, the poorer, the better.

The nobles who owned estates in the countryside were fine as they could just go back to their own estates, but those who didn't have estates would randomly find a village and buy a poor person's house, bury their wealth in it, and then lead a large group of servants to guard their wealth.

This kind of population and wealth mobility of different social classes was certainly not an easy thing to accomplish.

The assassin leader responsible for intelligence work would report to Robb almost every day about where a murder had occurred or where a robbery had taken place.
For example, today, “Godfather, there was a robbery in Nanli Village.
A band of robbers robbed the wealth that a noble was transporting, and the noble himself was also killed.
The body has now been brought back, and it is estimated that it won't be long before his wife comes to you crying and begging for his resurrection.”

Robb could not help but cry and laugh, “Who told him to move out? Such a foolish person who brought this upon himself, I won't save him.
Even if his wife comes to cry, it's useless.
I am a person with a heart of steel.”

One hour later, the noble's daughter, a pink and tender little girl, clung to Robb's thigh and cried.
In the end, Robb resurrected the noble and also sent Elsie to capture the gang of robbers and bring them to justice.
He publicly hanged them once as a way of repaying life with life, and then resurrected them and threw them into prison.
