After Empress Catherine said this, without waiting for Jian Chen to answer, she laughed first: "But it seems impossible to tell you not to be nervous now, maybe this is the sadness of sitting on the throne, now everyone will be respectful to me, and no one dares to talk to me like a friend like before!" ”

When she said this, the empress's smile had an indescribable gloom.

This made Chen Jian a little stunned.

The woman in front of him, although she is the empress and has the power of the world, I don't know how many people in the world feel envious and jealous of her, and some people even think about driving her off the stage all the time, but she herself doesn't seem to be very happy.

And I don't know what, Chen Jianjue's attitude of talking to herself is not like an empress talking to her courtiers, but more like an old friend who hasn't seen each other for a long time is talking to each other.

This feeling made Jian Chen even more puzzled in addition to his good impression of the empress.

At this time, the empress changed her words and said: "Jian Chen, I didn't know that you had such a great ability before, and I thought that you would definitely not be able to hold Hammondal, so although there are three wings of griffons in Marston City, I just asked Ryan to bring four angel warriors to Hammondale to check the situation and wait for the opportunity to move, you must also know that although griffons can fly, they are not good at attacking fortifications, if the enemy has occupied Hammondale Castle at that time, these griffons will not have a big effect even if they come, I arrange it so, You don't blame me, do you? ”

The empress took the initiative to explain, of course Jian Chen knew each other, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Jian Chen doesn't dare!" ”

The Empress nodded, and said, "I heard that you had already guessed that I would send the Griffin Legion to battle, and even more so that I would go out in person, how did you come up with these, and what are the reasons, can you tell me about it?" In order to maximize the secrecy, and for fear that you would make the enemy suspicious because of your avoidance of battle, I didn't notify you or Ryan in advance, but you could think of it, which is really surprising to me. ”

Chen Jian was speechless for a moment, and secretly smiled bitterly, those words were just rumors spread by him, the purpose was to calm people's hearts, but he didn't expect it to become a reality.

Could it be that he wants to tell the empress that everything is just his own nonsense?

While hesitating, the empress spoke again: "If you feel embarrassed, forget it, the matter is over anyway, and your intentions are good." Fortunately, your hype did not cause any serious consequences to my plan, so I should pay attention to it in the future, after all, you are too young and inexperienced. But there is another thing you have to answer me honestly, why do you want to take some big-eared monster prisoners of war as your subordinates? Do you know what the people of the Empire think of the big-eared monsters? Do you know that if this matter is known to other conservative nobles, how will you, the Viscount of the Empire, Lord of Hammondal, be impeached in front of me? ”

After speaking, the empress looked at Jian Chen with a solemn expression.

The meaning of the beating in the empress's words Chen Jian didn't care much, it was just a misunderstanding, but when the empress mentioned the matter of the big-eared monster, Chen Jian's heart suddenly became stunned, startling the boss, and the cold sweat on his back also flowed down.

To be honest, he didn't expect that his act of recruiting big-eared monsters would have so many sequelae.

In his opinion, he just wanted to use all the forces he could use to strengthen his strength as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that even the empress would be alarmed.

Jian Chen, who couldn't figure out the empress's intentions, hesitated for a long time and didn't speak, and Empress Catherine was not in a hurry, just looked at him quietly and didn't say a word.

After a long time, Jian Chen gritted his teeth and repeated the theory that he said that day about race and bloodline does not determine good and evil in front of the empress.

Anyway, the matter has already been done, and Chen Jian doesn't think there is anything wrong with him.

Finally, Chen Jian said: "Your Majesty, I dare to say that although it is true that the hatred between races cannot be easily resolved, it is not impossible to resolve it!" The key is whether we are willing to solve it! Is there enough sincerity to resolve it? Is there enough strength to resolve it? Simply killing against killing, killing to stop killing can only continue to deepen the hatred of all parties, although it can play a temporary role, but it cannot guarantee long-term peace and stability, unless we have the means to exterminate all the races that are hostile to us! But is it possible? When pigs fly! ”

"So I think that with its outright exclusion of other races, it is better to try to convert them, to make them identify with us, to identify with the Empire, to join us in the fight for the common good! Of course, the premise of this is that we must ensure that our strength is strong enough! If we are too weak, or even so weak that we don't even have the ability to protect ourselves, then no other race will agree with us! ”

As he spoke, Jian Chen suddenly found that his thinking gradually became clearer, and the more he spoke, the smoother and faster he spoke: "And the empire is fully equipped with such strength, although the strength of the empire was seriously damaged in the last war, but it did not collapse because of this, but began to show signs of revival under the control of His Majesty!" At this time, we should vigorously absorb all the forces that can be used for us, just imagine, if the imperial army can have special troops of other races, not only can it be higher in terms of combat effectiveness, but also more diverse in tactics! What's more, we can not only strengthen the empire itself, but also weaken the strength of those races and nations that continue to be enemies of the empire. ”

"I believe that if the Empire can one day achieve a great fusion of the various races on the continent with our efforts, if we can make powerful races such as the Dragons and Titans also identify with the Empire and join the Empire's military sequence, then we will no longer have to be afraid to face any enemies! We can even make the enemy surrender without a fight! Do the soldiers who surrender to the enemy without a fight! And eventually bring the entire continent into the empire's territory! Let the continent of Erathia truly become the continent of Erathia! ”

(Note: The real name of the Erathia Continent is the Entagre Continent, and later due to the rise of the Griffonheart Dynasty, the Erathia Empire became the largest and most powerful empire in the whole continent, and this continent was habitually called the Erathia Continent, according to Chen Jianyou)

The last paragraph, although it is obviously a bit of sycophancy, is theoretically possible, so what Chen Jian said is reasonable, and Yifu should be so generous.

After speaking, Jian Chen lowered his head and waited for the empress's reaction.

Although these words were said to exonerate the guilt, except for the last part, the others were also Chen Jian's heart, but he didn't know whether Her Majesty the Empress could accept these theories. But in his mind, he said so many beautiful words later, even if the empress didn't approve of it, he should be held accountable for his crimes, right? Didn't you just take in a few big-eared monster soldiers?

At this time, the empress, who had been quietly listening to Jian Chen's big talk, finally spoke: "Are these your sincere words?" ”

Chen Jian, who was already a little nervous, was shocked again when he heard this.

He looked up, but saw that the empress was staring at him with blazing eyes, her face was still so serious - since Chen Jian began to answer her questions, her expression had always been like this, and it had never changed, so that Chen Jian had no way to judge her emotional changes.

Does the Empress not agree with her own claims? The uneasiness in Jian Chen's heart deepened.

But the words have already come to this point, and now it is unwise to talk back, Chen Jian had no choice but to grit his teeth again and respond loudly: "Back to Your Majesty!" Not bad! Truth or truth! ”

Stretching out the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife, and Chen Jian can be regarded as a knife.
