"Alice, don't get involved in the goblin matter, with your identity it's no longer suitable to participate in such a thing, leave the rest to the empire to deal with, with me here, I will definitely teach those arrogant guys an unforgettable lesson, so that they don't dare to provoke us again in a short time." ”

Semiramis raised her hand to stop Alice from saying something, her face was very serious, and there was no joke in it.

"I know, what you want to say, what you want to say is nothing more than that in the Empire, only you can fight against such troublesome things as the Goblin Group. ”

"Jutland is very important, if the city of Les is the undersea capital of the Baltic Empire, then Jutland is the capital on land, the most economically developed thing, carrying more than half of the income of the entire empire. ”

"But, because of this, you can't, and shouldn't go, don't you see, Alice, that what happened in Jutland is a very likely trap. ”

Semiramis's words calmed Alice, and she sat down in her chair, her head in her hands, and pondered carefully, carefully recalling what had happened during this time.

Goblins are very different from the enemies they deal with, they are superior to the empire in terms of economy and intelligence, and their connections are very broad, even if they don't have any strong people, they can use the wealth in their hands to find strong reinforcements.

"Alice, what do you think is the weakness of our empire?"

Semiramis's question caused Alice to ponder, and they had discussed this question many times, but they had never received an answer.

In terms of force, there are strong men like Alice and Skaha, an army with new equipment and new tactics, and countless sea tribes as soldiers in the Baltic Sea.

Economically, the empire that controlled Jutland and the Baltic Sea almost monopolized the maritime trade of the entire north, and various taxes every day made the treasury expand several times. 、

In terms of internal affairs, with Semiramis in the center and controlling the direction of the empire, dealing with the contradictions between various races, coordinating the allocation of various resources, and calming people's hearts, as well as the help of many vampire maids, internal affairs are the least to worry about.

After removing the economy, military force, and internal affairs, all that needs to be considered is culture, and in this fantasy world, culture can actually be equated with faith.

"Semiramis, do you mean those refugees who have just joined the Empire, who have no sense of belonging, who have not given up their previous beliefs, who have not believed in me? No, it should be said that the inhabitants are the inhabitants of our Empire from the moment they join the Empire and the Empire accepts them. ”

Speaking of faith, Alice can only think of the refugees, who, if given enough time, will integrate into the empire and become assets for the empire to continue to create wealth.

But now these refugees have only recently joined the empire, and many of them still believe in the gods of the past, and do not have much sense of belonging to the empire.

"No, that's not really a problem. ”

Contrary to Alice's expectations, Semiramis shook his head and denied Alice's speculation, because of the recent war, a large number of refugees accepted are indeed an unstable factor, but the force is in the hands of the Empire, and those refugees have received the favor of the Empire in the most difficult time.

The people of the North, especially the people at the bottom, don't have as many fancy intestines as the guys in the South, they are much simpler, and they are much more lovely, and there may be riots because of rumors, but the possibility of rebellion is very small.

"You don't need to worry too much about faith, you just need to leave this to me, the refugees we accept are grateful to us, as long as we deal with some unstable factors, the rest is only a matter of time. ”

"Besides, the force is in our hands, and those fellows have no power to resist, and they can only accept the path we have arranged for them. ”

People who have no strength, are simple-minded, and still have a grateful heart, Semiramis has dozens of ways to turn their gratitude into faith, so that they can truly understand that the reason why they can survive is because of the empire, and because of the girl who brought calamity to others, the [Calamity Girl].

"Semiramis, don't be careless, the situation in Jutland is said to be very bad, you know that Skaha is not good at dealing with these things, you must be prepared for the worst and don't let the situation develop out of control. ”

"Don't underestimate the power of the people, or underestimate the strength of the weak, they are weak now, and they were the same in the past, but it is precisely because they are weak that they will continue to live as weak, fight the same, and then destroy the strong in the way of the weak. ”

"It is precisely because they have nothing that they do not need to be afraid of losing anything, so they can have the possibility of defeating the strong with the body of the weak. ”

Alice said very seriously, her face was very solemn, full of unquestionable firmness, in the past years, in that epic of another world, there are countless examples of the weak defeating the strong, even if it is a strong man who can fight thousands of enemies with a white edge, he is still drowned in the tide of the weak.

Even in this world, there is a recent war provoked by the Fishman Empire, countless powerful legends, in that war, fell into the hands of the weak they once looked down on, causing heavy losses to the Kraken and the Mermaid, which directly contributed to the emergence of the Baltic Empire.

"I see, Alice, I'll keep an eye on those guys, and I'll take measures when necessary, even if it's by cruel means, such as a strong man's broken wrist, it will definitely not let the situation develop out of control. ”

Semiramis finally nodded, agreeing with Alice's point of view, if they have reached the level of gods and have the power to destroy all life on a continent, then there is nothing wrong with such remarks, the problem is that they are still a distance that is difficult to cross.

"But Alice, there are some things that don't go on the surface, you have to give Skaha a little more confidence, although she is not as good as her performance on the battlefield in dealing with internal affairs, people have the impression of being more of that unparalleled female warrior, but this does not negate Skaha's ability, especially you, Alice, can not be questioned. ”

Semiramis shifted the subject, her index finger tapping lightly on the smooth wooden table in front of her, making a thump thump.

"Thank you, Semiramis. ”

Alice squinted slightly, and there was an extremely happy expression on her face, she knew that Semiramis's words were sincere, and that was why she felt so happy.

Alice likes this kind of picture, and hopes that her various lovers can get along amicably, a little more purely, and not like the harems of other kings, full of black intrigue and hypocritical smiles.

"Okay, ahem, let's get on with business, get down to business. ”

A little unable to stand Alice's gaze, Semiramis turned his head with a slightly red face, coughed twice, and said.

The smell of what happened just now has not completely dissipated, and she doesn't want to be interrupted by something like that when the business is not finished, even if in fact she desires it more than anyone else, and cherishes the time the two of them spend together more than anyone else.

"I've talked about the weakness of our empire before, and I've talked about it many times before, but this time I'm going to stick to my point. ”

"Do you still think that our background is too low? Well, I see what you mean, you mean that there are too few strong people in the empire, vampire maids are useless, and only a few of us can become pillars. ”

Alice nodded, agreeing with Semiramis's statement and understanding her considerations.

"Skaha can't leave Jutland, and Kir is still training in Schleswig, the two largest landmasses of the empire, which must be guarded by strong men. ”

"And Rice City, as the center and capital of the entire empire, controls the lifeblood of the entire empire, and also controls the surrounding islands such as Zealand and Funen, which is the heart of the entire empire, and as the queen of the empire, you must stay here. ”

The situation here on the island of Rice is a little better, but because of the fact that the islands of Zealand and Funen have just been ruled for a short time, the inhabitants there have not yet obeyed the rule of the empire from the bottom of their hearts, and sincerely recognized their identity as residents of the empire and regarded themselves as part of the empire.

"I should have no problem analyzing, Semiramis. ”

Alice's gaze looked at Semiramis, and she leaned gently back on the sofa and said lazily.

"Well, that's right, it seems that our long-standing argument can come to an end. ”

At this time, Semiramis focused on another plan, which proved to be correct in some things.

"Alice, do you think you can think of these things, those goblins can't think of them? They have a lot of money, a lot of money, and they have collected a lot of information about our empire, maybe more than we imagined. ”

"Whether it's from the analysis of your actions or the intelligence obtained through their spies, it's easy to conclude that you're going to go after them and solve the matter once and for all. ”

"What do you think they will do then, and where will they be the target of their attack next, Schleswig or Lyce, or Sealand or Funen?"

Lure the snake out of the hole, when the poisonous snake entrenched in the imperial sky is lured out of the lair, the next step is bound to take advantage of the void, this is the choice that even skilled hunters will make.

"It's still not enough, the previous war has drastically reduced the number of Baltic powerhouses, and now we have these things in our hands that want to maintain the order of an empire is very reluctant. ”

Speaking of this, Semiramis couldn't help but sigh, if there was no war, the Baltic Empire would not have been established, but it was with that war that the Baltic Empire seemed to be very strong and competent, worse than the Scandinavian Empire of Siegel, which still had snow-capped druids and the attention of the gods.

"However, Semiramis, you have to believe that with my strength, there is nothing in the entire main plane that I can't beat, and even if I really can't fight, if I want to escape, I can say that no one can stop me. ”

Alice stretched and spoke slowly.

The nickname of "Calamity Girl" was really set up with the corpses of strong enemies, and it was fought one after another, without a little water.

"I believe, in this regard, I believe in you, and no one believes in your power more than I do, Alice. ”

"On the main plane, you are the strongest person I have ever seen, even against the likes of Cyrus, Tutankhamen, and Gilgamesh, I believe that you can defeat them and ascend to the strongest seat. ”

"However, the goblins don't have to defeat you, they don't want to kill you, they just need to pay a certain price, trap you, contain you, and that's it. I'm sure the rich goblins won't skimp on all kinds of resources, including artifacts and forbidden spells, in this regard. ”

"Their purpose was clear from the beginning,"

Semiramis agrees with Alice's words, but it is precisely because of her agreement that she feels worried, as we all know, goblins will never be unprepared, otherwise goblins will not survive well under the resentment of so many races, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, to the scale that even empires are helpless.

"It's a real problem, no, it should be said that such a problem, it will definitely arise, and now it is we who are at a disadvantage, and it is we who need to make a choice. ”

Nodding in agreement, Alice said.

"Targeting our weaknesses, a precise and clever blow, it seems that we underestimated the goblins too much, and only saw their greed, and did not notice their greed and wisdom. ”

She admitted her previous mistakes without hesitation, and reviewed them, it was hard to believe that such a person did not have the dignity and arrogance of a strong person at all.

"Really, every time I talk to you about these things, I talk about other things. ”

Semiramis tapped lightly on the table and reminded.

"Now we need to think about how to solve the dilemma we are facing, as you just said, go directly to find the culprit, there is a great possibility of falling into their trap and making the entire empire passive. ”

"It's just a palliative, not a cure, and even if the dark clouds that shroud Jutland are dispelled this time, those goblins will take action and adopt similar tactics. There are too many chips in the goblins' hands, and there are too many resources at their disposal, so we can't do anything if we simply hurt people. ”
