Gretta-Mildern's status has skyrocketed for more than three years, and although he has never held a formal official position and is outside the imperial power system, the title of "Emperor's Left" is known and accepted by everyone.

It was she who advocated more than three years ago that the empire should stop conquering other countries, and should focus on consolidating the empire's existing territory, purging the Church of the Will, and vigorously developing technology. While maintaining neutrality between the Red Union and the Dawning Empire, take advantage of the situation of wrestling between the two sides to absorb nourishment.

The emperor agreed to this proposition under great pressure, and at first the two military and political parties were indignant, and there was a great momentum to peel the gray tower and sink it into the river, or make it a living soul. But then the technological competition between the Red Union and the Dawning Empire changed with each passing day, which frightened these ministers, and they wholeheartedly assisted the emperor and promoted the empire to practice internal skills.

Internally, clean up the nobles of the kingdom of the old era, reorganize the empire through the Church of the Will, use the arcanists to develop their own technology, and win the subdragons such as the Steel Dragon to join the empire. A series of measures have settled the empire,

Externally, the goal was no longer to conquer the territory of neighboring countries, but to divide and disintegrate the surrounding "anti-volitional imperial alliance", and through diplomatic and economic means, it won over some vassal states and improved the external environment of the empire.

At the same time, the Empire continued to support its citizens in the Hell Commune and the Adventurer Commune, and although many elites were absorbed by these two communes, a considerable number of elites returned to the Empire, bringing back advanced technology and management experience to the Empire.

The relationship between the Empire and the Temple of Commerce also eased. The Empire allowed the Temple of Commerce to resume its day-to-day business in the Imperial Capital and several other large cities, and while the circulation of the gold bushel was still prohibited, the scale of trade between the Empire and the Temple of Commerce increased, and it was in use.

Enlisting the support of other neutral deities was also an initiative of Greta and made a real contribution. She persuaded the emperor to allow the church of the goddess of life to participate in the coronation of the empress, and granted the empress the status of "saint of life".

Taking this as an opportunity, the emperor promulgated the "Neutral Deity Act", declaring the churches of more than a dozen neutral deities such as the goddess of life, the goddess of nature, and the god of war as legitimate churches within the empire, and at the same time completely severing the relationship between the church of will and the predecessor church of tyranny, and even the god of tyranny, which also made the empire of will change from the camp of chaos and evil to chaos and neutrality at the level of gods.

Of course, in order to take care of the emotions and interests of the Arcanists and the Dragons, the Magicians and other dragons except the White Dragon, the Black Dragon, the Steel Dragon, and other dragons are not allowed to operate openly within the territory of the Will Empire.

After more than three years of development, the territory of the Empire in the main plane is now seven or eight times that of the Red Federation, and the population is twelve or three times that of the Red Federation. Although it is not as good as the Dawning Empire, it is no longer a weak existence that can only huddle with the Red Union for warmth.

Technologically, the Empire of Will is naturally inferior to the Red Alliance, and there is a big gap between it and the magicians of the Dawning Empire, but it has embarked on an independent development route and has an absolute advantage in West Fein.

During this period, everything was not going well for the Empire.

The core god puppet of the Arcanist will be fully absorbed by the Empire, resulting in the Arcanist being leaderless, causing a lot of turmoil when the West Feen Kingdoms spread, especially in the north.

It was Grita who, as the emperor's envoy, mediated in the northern kingdoms to settle the turmoil, and also supported the Icewind Kingdom, a loyal vassal state.

To the northeast of West Fein, the conflict between the High Union and the Highland Kingdom became the stage of the struggle between the Red Union and the Dawning Empire. It was also Greta who advocated quarantine measures and resolutely did not intervene, so that the empire was not caught up in this vortex.

In short, Greta made great contributions to stabilizing the external environment of the empire, and the emperor granted him the transcendent status of "chief advisor", giving him special authority over all his subjects, and no one raised doubts.

Can the ministers in front of the emperor's throne, can their eyesight be worse?

Merit or anything is secondary, and the most important thing is that Greta and the queen are good girlfriends who talk about everything.

Why was Kettins, who was called the "Arms of the Empire" with Callahan? Wasn't that the fool accusing the Emperor of not being too soft on the Empress?

Of course, there is also gossip that it was the Kettins who was reprimanded for not completing the tasks assigned by the emperor.

Kettins once went to the Red Federation and asked a certain Red Federation dignitary to serve as an ambassador in the imperial capital, but was ruthlessly rejected by the other party. The emperor couldn't hold his face, so he had to throw the pot to Kottins, saying that it was Krentins' personal opinion, not the emperor's intention.

In short, Gretta's status in the Empire is extremely noble, and the title of nobility is only symbolic in the Empire, but everyone thinks that the title of "Duchess of Bauhinia" is well deserved in Gretta.

Greta opened the door to compliments on the emperor for his courtiers, and the gushing praise poured out, turning the meeting into a platform for the emperor's praise.

Romroth stopped his ministers: "Even if I am a human god, the power still comes from the Emperor, from my belief in completing the mission. It depends on everyone's efforts to make such a force work, so you can't let me go into battle in every battle, right?"

"I'm asking everyone...... Not only you, but also the vast number of subjects, are you ready? ”

Greta responded indifferently: "As long as Your Majesty is determined, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome. So, Your Majesty just needs to ask yourself if you're ready. ”

Romrose reluctantly glanced at Grita, wasn't he just not ready, so he wanted to find confidence in his ministers?

Gretta's smile remained unchanged: "Your Majesty, Bishop Torlimbo said that Your Majesty is with the Empire. So whether you're ready or not depends on your majesty. ”

"Your Majesty hesitated, perhaps because he felt that he might not be able to see clearly, then His Majesty could still look at this empire. We, the ministers, are but a tiny part of this empire, a small speck of dust within your reach, and are not qualified to answer this question. ”

Romulus smiled bitterly, since the incident of the incense more than three years ago, Grita's tone was like this, almost revering and worshipping himself as a god.

It's not a bad thing to be treated like this, but it's always a bit ...... Weak-hearted, Romrose honestly doesn't feel like he's on par with the Goddess of Order and the Crimson Lady.

This must be the wish of Greta and the other ministers, hoping to become stronger enough to compete with the other gods, after all, there are no gods behind the Holy Will Empire.

Since his subordinates wanted to do so, and at the same time they had to accomplish their mission, Romrose made it his goal and worked tirelessly.

"Very good, I also understand the general situation of all aspects......

Romulos had no choice but to borrow the ladder given by Grita to come down: "I'll look at the rest." ”

The meeting ended abruptly, and Romrose continued to speak with Grita alone.

"I'm sorry Your Majesty, but I didn't mean to disrupt the meeting," Greta said, "and I think the biggest threat to the empire right now is from within. ”

Romulos was stunned, it's been more than three years, and the empire has basically been straightened out, how can there be any problems?

Greta sighed: "Your Majesty, I also read the statements of the Dawning Empire and the Red Alliance, there is nothing on the Dawning Empire's side, the Red Alliance's side, don't you think, Your Majesty, Richie Prell's remarks will cause a huge turmoil in the main plane?"

Romrose nodded, "Of course, but isn't it the Dawning Empire that threatens us?"

Greta shook his head: "Your Majesty, you haven't realized how much damage Li Qi's instigation has done to our empire? In his mouth, isn't our soul image technology the oppression of mortal souls? Isn't our dragon soul technology enslaving mortal and dragon souls?"

Romrose smiled disapprenousively, "This...... You are too sensitive, the soul image technique is to teach the power of the Great Emperor that I have mastered to others, and it is precisely this power that protects their souls from being controlled by extraordinary powers. ”

"As for the dragon spirit technology, there were indeed some problems at the beginning, but under my urging, wasn't it modified to be more humane and benevolent? Generally, floating ships have changed to use dragon crystal arrays, what is the difference between this and the red alliance using ethereal spirits? As for the dragon spirit technology used by the main battleship, the dragon riders are all volunteers, and the dragon spirit is also from the dragon of the evil race. The things that mortals slay dragons in the old days were much more cruel than what we did, how could this enslave mortals and dragons?"

Greta said faintly: "Your Majesty thinks so, but the opposition hidden in the empire does not think so. They will only use Richie's remarks as a very useful banner, and such a banner can indeed gather many transcendent people who claim to be free, as well as other stupid people, people who do not know the truth, and people who try to fish in troubled waters. ”

Her next words made Romrose's expression sink as well: "The Red Union shouldn't not understand what kind of reaction such words will trigger, what kind of wave will be set off, but they still said it through Li Qi's mouth, what do they think of our empire?"

"Your Majesty, I said a long time ago that our empire is also evil in the eyes of the Red Federation, and it is an enemy that must be destroyed. It's just that the great enemy of the Dawning Empire is in the way, and they have to cooperate with us. ”

"The conflict between the Red Federation and the Dawning Empire seems to be fierce, but in fact, it is still in the stage of fighting verbal battles and manipulating agents to make small fights. On the side of the Dawning Empire, whether it is the Empress of Dawn or the Goddess of Order, they actually don't want to fight. So who is the Red Union aiming at with these remarks?"

Romeros said in a deep voice, "You mean, the Red Union is actually targeting us?"

Greta was about to speak, when the palace deacon's communication came in, and the news sent made Romerrose jump to his feet.

"His Highness Qi, Qili is coming to visit!?"

Romrose's irrepressible joy made it difficult for Greta to continue, and she changed her words, "Then listen carefully to what they want this time." ”

Grita took her leave, and Romrose was full of thoughts about how to greet Kiri, but he didn't hold back.

On the northwestern border of the Empire, on the summit of the snow-capped mountains near the shores of the Angry Ocean, stands a magical Tallinn.

In the central tower, Greta walked out of the communication room and moved from the teleportation circle to another level, her face very unsightly all the way.

In another, more secluded communication room, Greta bowed to a white-haired old man and sighed, "It's not that easy to destroy Romrose's relationship with the Red Union......

After listening to Grita, the white-haired old man nodded and said, "So, the root of the problem is actually Romulus's private feelings for this elf?"

"Not really...... Exactly," said Greta with indeterminacy, "but things would have been much easier without this elf." ”

The old man said lightly: "Then let this elf disappear......"

Grita was stunned: "Isn't this going to backfire and make Romulus notice us?"

The old man shook his head: "Don't worry, the Living Soul Technique is easy to disguise the source of power. ”

Gretta's eyebrows raised higher: "Camouflage...... Doesn't that make Romroth closer to the Red Union? It's completely contrary to the original intention, Lord Lucian?"

The old man was none other than Lucian, Gretta's upline, and chuckled, "Haven't we been looking for an opportunity, an opportunity for Romerrose to transition from his own orbit to ours?"

"It is indeed too abrupt to let Thevins carry this opportunity and complete the whole transition, and it is very likely that something will happen. If it's this elf, take a part of the twist, and it's no problem. ”

Greta suddenly opened her eyebrows, nodded and said, "That's true, I've forgotten our more important goal. ”
