Chapter 1766 - Chapter 588: Allied Nations Shocked_9

The warriors of the Flower Kingdom are a sacred and solemn army. The two types of Flower Knights, Yarrow and Guizhou, must be conscripted systematically. Without the corresponding named flowers, the Flower General cannot confer the ranks of brigade leaders and barrack leaders in stages as the Flower Minister would with officers. Without solving the problem of the Yarrow archers, Xiao Kong can never establish an imperial flower army — abandoning the Jing Gold and switching to gold is another option, but more than sixteen hundred Yarrow archers firing nearly five thousand gilded arrows at once requires nearly a city's annual fiscal revenue. Such a huge expense would be impossible for a pauper like Xiao Kong, let alone the Tang Zang Empire.
