Nine hundred and eight slaps in the face are three hits in the face, and Romulos is the most difficult
In the middle of the kingdom of Bled, the hills divide the land into pieces, the tall pine forests are sparse and foliage, and the clouds that never disperse make this land look extremely depressing, just like Romroth is in the mood at the moment.
It's not the environment that affects him, Brad has always been like this. When he first arrived in Bled, Romrose was still in high spirits, having defeated the Northern Legion of the Dawning Empire three days ago, and even felt that Bled's sky was actually very clear.
But now, bits and pieces of signs are making his mood sour.
After looking up at the sky for a while, making sure that the irascible guy in front of him had calmed down a little and felt his own coercion, Romulos lowered his head and looked at his face again.
"Callaghan, before marching into Bled, I said that in order to win here, in addition to fighting bravely on the battlefield, things outside the battlefield are equally important, such as treating the Bled people well. β
Romerrose said in a cold tone, "Do you think what I said is wrong, so you leave it behind and ignore it?"
Count Callahan bowed his head under the emperor's forced gaze, and his mouth was still unconvinced: "We are doing it, I have tried very hard to restrain my subordinates, asking them not to beat and scold and kill the Bleders, just pretend not to see them." β
"But we can't avoid contact, there were a lot of Brads who followed us to fight the legions of the Dawning Empire at first, but those people ...... How can I say it......"
Callahan was a big old man, and he thought about it for a while before he found the right wording: "The temperament is too explosive, and he is a mutated mongrel, some have hair on his face, and some have fangs and red eyes." Our people are wary of them, and they think they're being treated like monsters and start getting angry, aren't they monsters?"
"Just like the previous decisive battle, after the battle, a lot of Bradmen came to search for corpses, and our people just drove them away, maybe a little rude, but they didn't intend to kill them, they actually started to kill us as enemies. β
"These guys don't know how to be grateful at all! Without us, they are still hiding in Tibet under the encirclement and suppression of the Dawning Empire, and they don't even have the courage to emerge from the hole! Now they will take revenge and dare to fight with us!"
Romrose looked at him for a moment and sighed, "Callahan, is that really all there is to it? Just because of a little conflict over the spoils of war on the battlefield and killing dozens of Bradmen?"
Callahan sweated on his forehead, but he only lasted for half a second, and then said sharply: "Your Majesty, there are indeed many things to ......"
The eternal serenity of Romrose is not only used to smash enemies, but also to the heads of his deceitful men. There is a special hall in the palace of Terros, and the heads of those who have been opened are showing all his subjects the tragic fate of the "bullies".
So Callahan poured the beans into the bamboo tube and said everything.
Seeing the Bradmen trailing and caged like monsters, Callahan explained that this was to keep the Legion safe.
Passing through the village and town of Bled, he broke his stomach by eating the locals' food, and arrested people and tortured and interrogated. In the end, he had to kill the werewolf who had mutated and gone crazy, and he was forced to defend himself.
Because it was rumored to be a vampire lair, the "righteous people" in the team made a noise, and finally developed into a brigade with guns and cannons, and also called for aircraft support, and killed hundreds of Bradians in the entire crypt.
No way, who let those people really be vampires......
Romroth's forehead was bruised, and his meticulous control was only limited to the flying and magic cannon troops, and what was the situation of the infantry corps below could only be mastered by the staff of the Imperial Legion headquarters through the magic guide communication equipment that had spread to the brigade level.
Of course, this is not backward, compared with the Marshal and the King of West Fein, it is completely different from heaven and earth. Those people only have a general idea of how many people are in the legion under their command and what kind of equipment, and they can't do much more than give orders when, where, and who to fight, after all, it is still the aristocratic system of vassal lords in the old era.
But the reality of the situation made Romroth feel that he was not in control at all, and to be honest, he wanted to know exactly what each squad and even each soldier was doing.
He always felt that if he didn't stare directly, his subordinates would deviate from the direction at any time, and it turned out to be true.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, I don't think there's anything wrong with that!"
Seeing that Romulus was obviously angry, Callahan's neck twisted: "Your Majesty is the descendant of Tudor, we swear to follow Your Majesty to the death, complete the uncontested career of Tudor the Great, and let the glory of mortals shine on Finn! Mortals are human beings, and there is no share of those monsters! Who can trust people who are not humans?"
"Those Bled people have become monsters! Werewolves will go berserk, vampires will drink blood, don't you get rid of them and let them take a mirage? Oh, there are still remnants of orcs here, not to mention them, killing those three human nations in the north and almost extinction!"
"Although the Dawning Empire is an enemy of us, I think we are right in this matter! Our fight with the Dawning Empire does not mean that we recognize the Brydes as the same kind!"
Glancing at Romerrose's expression, the rough man added: "This is not my personal idea, Your Majesty, ask the soldiers, everyone thinks so!"
"Shut up!"
Romrose stopped in embarrassment, and if he continued to talk about it, he and even Tudor the Great would be held accountable.
Although he was determined to inherit the cause of the Emperor, it did not mean that he agreed with all the ideas of the Emperor. On the question of "what races should mortals include", he felt that the emperor was a little narrow-minded, and the failure at the beginning had nothing to do with this.
However, since he has raised the banner of the Great Emperor, even if he pays attention to suppression in this regard, he is not easy to step on the righteous name of "mortals are human beings", and he agrees with it in his heart.
Are there any other races...... Half-elves and halflings can barely be counted, and humans don't really have much resistance to these two races anyway.
As for the elves......
A strange figure suddenly appeared in his heart, and Romulos said in his heart that elves are not mortals, they are a kind of intelligent race that is higher than mortals, and human beings must respect and admire.
After all, Finn is no longer there, leaving only Qili as the "last elf".
"Does it matter what the idea is?"
Romrose reprimanded with a straight face: "We fight wars, and in order to win, we must rely on intelligence, conceal intentions, and use various strategies and techniques......"
Callahan frowned and muttered, "Didn't we rush up against the Northern Legion of the Dawning Empire before......?" Wisdom?"
Romeros gritted his teeth, pretended not to hear, and continued: "How to get along with the Bledians is also a battlefield, even if the Bleders are weak, it will cause all kinds of changes, and the environment we are in and the situation we face will change. β
Of course, he couldn't say that he was afraid of being reprimanded by Qili, but in fact, he was worried that this matter would affect his relationship with the Red Federation, so he felt that something was wrong and asked Callahan to reprimand him.
Callahan's brow furrowed even tighter, "What's changed? The Dawning Empire will think we've treated the Bleders enough...... Cold, to their liking, just quit Bryde?"
With a thud, the flail fell into Romulus's hands, and the cold gray glow flowed on the bronze hammerhead.
Romrose said angrily: "When I say it in vain, I only ask you, why don't you take my words to heart?
Callahan knelt down and said with a resolute expression: "I understand! I will strictly restrain my subordinates, and whoever dares to do anything to the Bleders will be killed!"
So that you don't make Brad an enemy, and you treat them as uncles?
Do you have a bad brain or do you have a heart?
Romulos said coldly: "As long as I have the result, whoever affects the entire battle situation and the environment of the empire because of the affairs of the Bleders, I will kill whom!"
Callahan shuddered and didn't dare to speak again, he knew that the emperor was serious.
The affairs of the Bradmen are not of great importance, and those who died before are also dead. Romulus also felt that those people were outliers, and although he had some pity, he was not to the point of punishing anyone for this, and it was enough to beat Callahan with a beating.
His focus now is not even on Brad, but on the Three Northern Kingdoms and Norton.
Greta volunteered to persuade the Three Northern Kingdoms to surrender, and Romrose was grateful and looking forward to it. Although I know that this woman has the support of the remnants of the fragrance behind her, as long as she has the mind of the emperor, why not make the best use of it?
Norton's affairs gave him some headaches, and he was furious that the Arcanist fleet had been sent out by the Golems on their own initiative. Not only because of their own opinions, but also because the Divine Golem Society actually put together a whole fleet. Are these arcanists really fearless, or are the ignorant fearless?
Just now, he also received a complacent report from the leader of the Divine Golem Society, saying that he would soon be able to subdue all the magicians of Norton, turn that place into a country of arcanists, and then dedicate it to the Emperor, and there was a hint of hope that the Emperor would seal that place to the Divine Puppet Society.
If the golem really subdues the magician, he will be very ...... Very headache.
The Northern Legion of the Dawning Empire retreated to the defense of King Bled, their equipment is not too backward, and they have popularized magic guide guns, but the concept of war is still very backward. In the previous battle, the Northern Army actually lined up in a dense formation, beating the drum and advancing towards itself. A handful of magic chariots were mixed with the Demon Beast cavalry and placed on the flanks to maneuver.
At that time, seeing the other party's style, Romrose himself burst into tears of laughter.
Coupled with the serious lack of air power of the opposing side, that battle was like an exercise. At the cost of less than a thousand casualties, the Holy Will Empire crushed the opponent's army of fifty or sixty thousand people, and wiped out at least half of the men.
According to the information obtained by the spies, the Northern Army is still in a state of licking its wounds in a daze, and it will take more than ten days for reinforcements from both sides of the Dawning Empire to arrive. Romerrose felt that taking advantage of this juncture to deal with Norton's affairs first was the first priority, and as for the Northern Legion, as long as it was decided on the battlefield, he had nothing to worry about.
Rush to Norton, restrain the Arcanist, and bring the Arcanist's actions under his own name, so as to avoid the Arcanist going to the point of establishing his own country, and avoid the terrible situation in which the Empire has to break with the Golem Society after reaching that point. Compromise with an Arcanist, Romrose would never accept.
Many vassals are reminding Romrose of the reappearance of the mortal Theresia and regaining power of the Dawning Empire as an empress, and Romrose is naturally not worried at all.
That empress must be fake!
What is the real situation, he is an eyewitness at the scene, the mortal Theresia is completely gone, leaving a daughter for Richie.
It was just an illusion created by the goddess of order who wanted to rule over mortals directly, and since it was forged by the gods, she must not have true mortal wisdom, and everything would only be considered from the perspective of the gods, so why worry?
So he decided to return to the imperial capital and take a small fleet of dragons to Norton.
After training Callahan, Romross returned to his tent and explained to his subordinates what had happened since his departure.
At this time, the communications officer came to report that Romrose was overjoyed, and he ignored the words as soon as he was halfway through, and left his subordinates behind.
Looking at the people with stunned faces, the communications officer smiled and whispered, "It's His Royal Highness Qili of the Red Alliance." β
The subordinates let out a long sigh, and it was no wonder that even Miss Thewens, who had not yet ascended to the position of Empress, would not let His Majesty the Emperor be so surprised that she lost her temper.
In the communication room, which was shrouded in a secret barrier, Romulus had his eyebrows stretched and greeted Qili with a smile on his face.
"As for what you told Richie, it's a shame that we can't follow up on it. β
Qili began with his proposal to divide East Fein equally: "I don't have to hide it from you, something has happened on our side, we must shrink and solve our own problems first." β
"That's really...... It's a shame......"
Romroth hurriedly suppressed his smile, and when he first proposed that plan, he was worried that the Red Union would interfere with it or grab the territory on his own, so he wanted to talk to the Red Union about the division of spheres of influence.
The result of defeating the Northern Army has greatly increased the confidence of Romrose's side, and there are not many decent troops on the books of the Dawning Empire, and some of Romrose's vassals have complained that this division will be cheaper for the Red Alliance. After all, looking at the current situation, it would take three or five months to seize the entire territory of the Dawning Empire.
Now that the Red Union has withdrawn on its own, Romulos is naturally overjoyed.
"Also, I've got some news here......"
As soon as Kiri spoke, Romrose's heart thumped.
Sure enough, Kiri talked about the Bleders.
"Romrose, you once said that you must not only carry on the legacy of the Emperor, but also correct the mistakes he once made......"
After sending the information over, Qi Li said in a tone like a teaching apprentice: "But what you're doing now is not like this, I don't ask you to talk about the equality of all spirits like the Red Alliance, and even the kobolds are treated equally, but don't go to extremes, kick away the forces that can be united and can be fought for, which will make your path narrower and narrower." β
Romrose froze, and a very uncomfortable feeling welled up in his heart.
He suppressed this unhappiness and said with a smile: "It's really a coincidence about this, I was reprimanding my subordinates just now." You know, they have a lot of brains, and they treat the Blyads like they treat the outliers, and they can't help but ...... Minor issues. β
Qi Li nodded: "I also believe that this is not your intention, but there is a problem with the control of the legion." Well, we've been cooperating on the matter of the Bled immigrants anyway, and I'll send some people over to help you deal with the affairs of the Bled people. β
This is a good thing, with the presence of the Red Alliance, there is no need for the legions of the Holy Will Empire to deal directly with the Bleders.
However, Romrose still subconsciously hesitated, which came from the emperor's hesitation.
The Holy Will Empire is responsible for fighting the war, and your Red Federation is responsible for dealing with the Bled people, so when the Bled is defeated, whose place is it?
"Yo, you're still worried that we'll usurp the fruits of your war?"
Qi Li saw through his mind at a glance, and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry, this is just part of the immigration project." Since you don't approve of the Bleders, let them all move to our side. β
Romerrose was about to say yes directly, but a distracting thought flashed through his mind.
He wanted to get his subordinates to say that even if he was an alien, he was a good slave.
If he insisted, his subordinates would naturally not continue to oppose it, but they would all have a very tacit and ambiguous smile on their faces.
Just like the smiles on the faces of the communications officer and his subordinates......
In the end, he said: "It's a good plan, I will discuss it with the ministers as soon as possible." β
Qili tilted her head to look at him for a while, and suddenly sighed, "Romrose, I feel like you're ...... right now The path seems to have gone a little off. β
The unhappiness in Romrose's heart was even worse, although at the same time there was a taste of joy that His Highness really regarded him as a disciple.
"Your Highness, please speak, I listen. β
As he bowed his head respectfully, the unhappiness turned into a scorching air current, swirling in his chest.
The Divine Will Empire is already a big empire, and when you defeat the Dawning Empire and occupy Valentine, do you still think that the Crimson Path is correct, and Li Qi is your satisfactory disciple?
"Don't be like that, I'm not your real mentor......"
Qi Li sighed: "Just as a friend, remind you." β
Romrose's heart was sour, she really thought I was not as good as Richie!
Killy continued, "The mortal struggle is just a small chessboard in Finn's world change, and there is an even bigger chessboard on top of this chessboard. We naturally despise the gods strategically, but we need to pay attention to tactics. β
"Now that you are going deep into the Dawning Empire, it seems that you have neglected the power of the Goddess of Order at the level of gods, which is very inappropriate, it is better to be cautious. Whether militarily or politically, don't be too ...... Radical, after all, you're not Tudor the Great yet. β
If it had been before, Romeros would have seriously reflected on these words, but now, he felt that Qili seemed to want to slow down and ......
Let Li Qi slow down and shine before himself?
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your teachings, I will think about it carefully. β
Romrose said this in a reluctant tone, but she didn't hear her clearly, looking down.
Then he had an idea, raised his head and said warmly: "Since Your Highness wants me to cooperate with the Red Union to transfer the Bleders, why don't you come to me to preside over this matter?"
At that moment, Qili's eyes widened.
She said, "Li Qi is busy with other things, I have to help him take charge, I really can't get out of ......"
"It's time for him to be independent!"
Romroth's anger finally had a reason to pour out: "He relies on your Highness for everything! Isn't it the credit of His Highness that the Red Union has been able to develop to this day? Why did he call you like a human being!?"
Qi Li lowered her head and covered her face: "This ...... You have a misunderstanding......"
"It was His Highness who helped me find the inheritance of the Great Emperor! It was His Highness who inspired me to step into the legend! It was His Highness who gave me the first guidance and let me through the first hectic days after the establishment of the empire. β
Romrose said proudly: "Compared with Richie, I think I am more qualified to be your disciple!"
"If you're talking about the national teacher and the emperor or something, then it's exempt......"
Qi Li smiled bitterly: "I believe that you don't want to be told behind your back about where this empire is sacred, whose will is it implementing, and whether it is an empire or not." β
Romrose choked, and he understood what Kiri meant.
Found an elf to give him an idea for the emperor, is this empire still a sacred human empire?
Since it was all the elves who made the idea, did this empire implement the will of his Romulus?
Everyone knows that this beautiful god incarnate spirit is the holy daughter of the Crimson Lady, she has come to dominate the empire, and this empire will not become a vassal of the Red Union?
He sighed secretly, he respected Qili so much, and it did cause criticism from his subordinates.
Who made Her Highness Qili the embodiment of beauty, or just an elf?
Qili took the opportunity to say: "Okay, about the matter of the Bled people, let's leave it to the specific manager to negotiate." Don't take those words too seriously, after all, I don't know much about your current situation. β
Starting to distance yourself from me?
If you don't understand, come and understand!
Romrose's heart was even more sour......
He reluctantly smiled: "I just want to go back to the empire, and then transfer to ...... There are a few things that Koster deals with, and if I can, I'd like to talk to His Highness Kiri in person. β
Afraid that Qi Li would shirk it, he hurriedly said: "I think the things related to the Red Union on my side are not only Brad, and many cooperation can be deepened, since Li Qi is not here, can you talk to me face to face for him?"
Qili pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, I do need to talk to you." β
The stunningly beautiful face disappeared along with the pair of pink pointed ears, and Romrose was stunned for a long time.
The anticipation of the upcoming meeting with His Highness Qili cheered him up, and after explaining to his subordinates, he flew to the immigration base on the west coast of the Inland Sea on his "Golden Tree" landline, escorted by a squadron of sardine fighters.
The connection between the Holy Will Empire and the Red Union is indeed inextricably linked, and the reason why Romeros wants to fly to the immigration base is because the Red Alliance has very complete aviation facilities there, and the next stop is the Wolfsburg base in Silverpine District, for the same reason.
Not only are the facilities perfect, but the route has been cruised for a long time, and the observation system along the way is also very sound, so you can monitor your whereabouts along the way and avoid accidents.
Romrose doesn't like teleportation, the Arcanist has no achievements in teleportation technology, they all borrow the teleportation technology of the magician, and the subspace involved has a lot to do with the goddess of commerce, and he doesn't want to leave such a loophole.
Anyway, it's convenient to fly now, and it's okay to spend a little more time.
From this point of view, he is very grateful to the Red Federation, without the technical assistance of the Red Federation, he can only ride a dragon, and from here to Wolfsburg has to fly for at least two days. His landplane was converted from a monkfish transporter, and although it only traveled at four or five hundred kilometers per hour, it was twice as fast as the dragon and dragon ship.
It was early afternoon when I departed, and when I landed at the immigration base, it was not yet dinner time.
The plane was just here to refuel and replenish the water, and Romrose did not get off the plane.
He was rubbing his head and secretly screaming that he had forgotten to give Thewin a ribbon gift, when the captain's panicked shouts suddenly came from the cockpit: "What are you doing!? Don't you see us here? Stop!"
Romulos was stunned, and when he entered the cockpit, he saw that a dark gray monkfish was sliding towards him, only a few dozen meters away.
It was the Red Union transport plane, which flew through the Imperial skies every day on the Bled immigrants, and everyone was familiar with it.
"I felt a strong wave of power!"
The Arcanist Acolyte rushed from behind, opening the Arcane barrier and shouting, "Your Majesty be carefulββ!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a blue light bloomed, filling Romulus's entire field of vision, and at the same time, the heavens and the earth turned upside down, as if the world had collapsed.
