Chapter 716 - 353: The Peril of Fang Qingshu! Zhi Ning Returns Home!_2
The Dragon Temple itself possessed an incomparably powerful influence; its only flaw was the lack of a large-scale armed force. And the fifty thousand Temple Army soldiers were certainly not the ultimate goal of the Dragon Temple, but merely the beginning.
Once the Dragon Temple had an army of two to three hundred thousand, then, under the pretext of protecting monasteries everywhere, they could start garrisoning troops throughout the Rage Wave Kingdom.
At that time, the royal family of the Rage Wave Kingdom would become nothing but true puppets.
"Fine, I can agree to this condition, but it can only be fulfilled after I ascend the throne as king," Zhi Li said. "Currently, Suo Lun’s expansion momentum is extremely fierce, and countless nobles and princes are speculating and watching. With each passing day being important in this waxing and waning struggle, I need you to capture Yan Nai’er in the shortest time possible and drag Suo Lun into this mess. Not only must his expansion be halted, but his backbone must also be broken."
"It can be done, I will go and talk to the Judgment Chief and His Excellency, the Holy Priest, right away," Fang Qingshu said.
Zhi Li nodded, then casually donned a robe, stepped out of the secret chamber, and went above ground to Li Chenglian, "Send a message to Turing Tuo, I need to marry Turing Mo immediately, and also, have Turing Duo and Tuli Yang enter the royal city right away!"
"Yes!" Li Chenglian said.
...
Within the Dragon Temple!
Fang Qingshu went to visit the two leaders of the Dragon Temple in the Rage Wave Kingdom, Luo Ge and Ge Li.
"Zhi Li has agreed that after he takes the throne, the numbers of the Temple Army will be doubled, increasing from twenty-five thousand to fifty thousand," Fang Qingshu said. "The condition is that we capture Yan Nai’er and drag Suo Lun into the fray."
