Valentine Shield Castle, the Empress walked down the long corridor to the terrace, a puppet as thick as a barrel always in front of it, casting a somewhat blurry figure in the air.

The figure had a robe and hood, bowed his head, his face could not be seen clearly, and his voice was as gloomy as a cold wind: "Rich-Prell's legion bombarded the frontier with magic cannons, but there was no major attack. The Mad King decides to send his minions to the border to fight back against Prell, and neither side has any intention of fighting. ”

"Kester's informant reported that the Mad King had announced his goal to his courtiers. He prepares to take down the corrupted Oka and use it as a springboard to rule all of Finn, and Oka must have something he must get. ”

The empress nodded: "I see, is there anything special in the empire?"

"Unrest in the Forgotten Forest and in parts of Sachitoon is growing more and more intense, and the people loyal to His Majesty are calling out to His Majesty's legions. If no legions are sent, the rebels must be condemned, and the people will be given the right name to organize themselves to exterminate them. ”

"Because of the arrangement of the Grand Duchess of Sylvie in the territory of Red Stone, and the Marquis of Zolde and other lords also firmly support His Majesty, the large-scale rebellion has been quelled. In Norton, the Mage Confederation cleared the rebels and stabilized the situation. ”

"I see, so be it", the empress did not say anything, and the figure stroked her chest and bowed, gradually dissipating.

The Empress instructed: "Take General Towson ......"

After a while, a cold middle-aged man appeared on the communicator, and said respectfully: "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

Listening to the empress's inquiry, Sylvie's deputy, Towson, who was in charge of the reorganization of the legions, said in a somewhat panicked tone: "At present, only ten legions have been reorganized according to the new standards, but they are only putting up shelves. New equipment such as automatic magic guns, small magic cannons, and magic guide vehicles are not yet in place, and training cannot be carried out yet. And in terms of personnel...... Your Majesty, you know, too many of the backbone have been discharged, and they all have titles and domains, and it is unlikely that they will return to the army, unless the empire is under great threat, so most of the officers and men of the new legion are rerecruited. ”

"There are still more than thirty of the old legions, but their equipment is no longer superior to that of ordinary adventurers, and they are not willing to leave home, so they can only be used for fortresses and city defenses. ”

"Your Majesty, as long as we have enough funds, we will soon have dozens of new legions comparable to the Prell Legions, each of which is not only twice as numerous as the old legions, but also more than ten times as strong as the old ones. Now is not a good time to massively put the army on the battlefield, we need time, at least ...... A year of time. ”

The Empress did not say anything, but listened to the report.

Then her steps slowed and she fell into deep thought, and the attendants and maids who followed behind her held their breath and did not dare to make any loud noise.

The communicator slid onto the terrace, and the Empress raised her hand, and the attendants and maids all stopped, watching the Empress walk onto the terrace alone.

"Richie, is this your response to me? It's so perfunctory......"

Looking to the north, you can vaguely see the floating ship and the flickering magic brilliance, which is the imperial capital under construction, Theresia subconsciously stroked her lower abdomen, and whispered to herself: "If you don't get at least the least progress with Romrose by the end of the month, it means that you don't take me to heart at all, whether in public or private, I will make you regret it!"

She smiled to herself: "Why are you still thinking about personal matters, I didn't allow you to think about it at that time." ”

You can't pin your hopes on Li Qi, and if the legion can't rely on it, you can only make multiple preparations.

Sylvie must return to the West as soon as possible to open the way for the army to pass through the kingdom of Bled to Rakami.

The power of the Western Realm alone is not enough to compete with the Mad King or even Romulus for the fragrance, and his own side must have enough power. It is difficult for the existing legions to enter the battle as soon as possible, so the three northern kingdoms that are not injured should contribute.

It seems that Baudouin, who has been put into the cold palace, will have to be reactivated, even if Brinto is against it. Speaking of which, it just happened to deter Brynto, that guy was too close to McGore, and the current situation of the empire was full of smoke, to a large extent, it had something to do with their move to expand the West Fort treason.

In addition to the legion, it is also necessary to organize a high-end force, including himself, to be a commando, and if the time is right, directly lead the team to Helik, kill Belino, clear the source of Karma's corruption, and completely solve Kelastro, who is still containing and distorting Keim's will.

The commando team should include...... No, Numael couldn't go, he was badly wounded during the storming of Valentine Cathedral, and he had to be given a rest. It just so happens that there are some signs of unease on Benuin's side, and the Benuins should also be included in the rule of the Empire, and the strong sandmen can just join the legion to serve the Empire, so let him go to Benuin to be the governor.

Numan El is not there, a legend that can be fully trusted...... It seems that there are few left, and it seems that there is only more reliance on the power of the red dragon and the silver dragon.

Theresia pondered, and suddenly a sadness welled up in her heart.

It would be nice if Roydas was still alive and loyal to her, and the Legion wouldn't have to use the newcomers who weren't so reassuring.

By Roydas, she thought of more......

The people who are kneeling under her crown now are either magicians who are full of thoughts of borrowing the stage of the empire and relying on magical knowledge for profit, or commercial temples, dragons, magicians, and merchants who want to use gold bushels to extract profits within the unified empire, and the rest are low-ranking nobles, commoners, and even slaves who have become new nobles by virtue of their military exploits.

Now the great nobles who are very peaceful, instead of firmly following her and supporting her ideals, have merged with magicians or merchants. For example, the reason why he gave up the principality was that his status as a grand duke limited his media career. If he is still the Grand Duke, he will naturally be resisted if he goes to other countries to set up communication towers.

The other nobles, even if they were disgruntled, were oppressed by powerful forces and lured by powerful interests, and they had to bow their noble heads and throw themselves into the rolling tide of the times.

Now those who raise the anti-flag are precisely the fighters who do not give in under strength, do not waver under interests, and have the strongest faith in the oath of breaking the tower.

They opposed the empire, the destruction of the aristocratic order, and they believed that they should defend such an order, and not use the empire to destroy such an order. In their eyes, they are traitors, they have broken the oath of the broken tower, and they have rebelled against the empire based entirely on faith.

Theresia clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.

Why are they so stupid!? Why don't they want to think seriously about who will unite the people and their homes without an empire, in the era of the rise of Romrose and Belino, in a future where the epochs will inevitably be more violent?

And most importantly, did the empire destroy the old order? No, the order is an invisible law that does not change with the change of people. I was indeed a little obsessed with the appearance of order before, ignoring the laws under order.

From slaves to commoners, from knights to barons, from marquis to kings, such an order contains the loyalty of the weak to the strong, and the responsibility of the strong to protect the weak. The order woven by the hierarchy of loyalty and duty was the order she defended, not the terms knight, nobleman, and king.

Aren't knights, nobles, and kings the same thing as legions, nobles and officials, and emperors?

Why are they so stupid!?

"The Great Prince of Sachiton, the half-elves of the Forgotten Forest and even the silly hairy boys of Hadron, I've been giving them a chance, hoping they'll figure it out. Instead of using their brains or understanding my pains, they only wailed over their lost interests, and incited these warriors who should have remained loyal to me to rebel against me, and I could no longer use my patience against them. ”

Theresia's tumbling heart calmed down a little, and she first called Sylvie and asked her to come over in the evening to talk about the West, and then summoned Numan Air. The legend of Benuin is in the Shield Fort, a moment away.

"To be governor in Benoin?"

Numan-El was very worried: "Your Majesty, the matter of Erxiang is not over yet, you still need someone to protect you, and I am a Benuin, aren't you worried that I will be influenced by my fellow people and do things that are not conducive to the empire?"

"You're Numan El", Theresia said with a smile, "You are also a legendary knight, if you can't be trusted, who else can I trust?

"Don't think I'm disgusting you, I just think you should play a greater role in yourself, not just my guard. And your injuries are no longer suitable for participating in legendary-level battles, so go to Benuin to recuperate. It's remote, but it's your hometown, so it should make you feel more at home. ”

Numael thanked the Empress for her trust in her, and admitted that she had no experience in government affairs, and she was afraid that she would not be able to do it.

"As representatives of the Empire, it is enough to show the Bennuins the duty of the strong to the weak in exchange for their loyalty. ”

"Of course, by the way, it is also necessary to deter those who are trying to use the Benuin pseudo-gods to cause chaos, and we must strike them mercilessly, and we must not let them lead the Benuin people to continue to create bloody conflicts from the entire human race." ”

Presumably seeing this as a matter of greater concern to the Empress, Numael accepted the appointment despite his apprehension.

He reluctantly said: "I'm not by Your Majesty's side, please take care......"

"Don't worry, I'm with Kem", Theresia was also a little sentimental, patted his arm and said, "I also want Shuma to be with you, and we will be loyal forever like Kem and Shuma." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Numael replied without hesitation, naturally hoping that the covenant between the two gods, stronger than steel, would bless him and the Empress with mutual trust for eternity.

After Numael left, Theresia stared into the distance, the imperial capital that was taking shape at an unprecedented speed was incomparably magnificent, a gift from magicians, dragons, merchants, Valentines, and the people of the empire. Because of the huge investment in the imperial capital project, it also involved the progress of the organization of the new army and all aspects of affairs.

Originally, she was against such extravagance, but the ministers were right, the imperial capital is not only her personal enjoyment, but also the source of confidence of all the people of the entire empire, just like Erika and Valentine, only great deeds can convince the people of the power of the empire, so as to bait countless senseless disputes.

Isn't even Li Qi engaged in some kind of mobile fortress project to boost the confidence of the people under his rule?

Theresia's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden quarrel behind her, and it was Timmy Osquim in the voice.

"Who knows what you want to do when you come to the empress? You red dragons all grew up taking pills, and you can fish you away with a thick and black thing, and you are embarrassed to defend the empress?"

The pink-haired little man stared at the red-haired girl guarding the entrance to the terrace.

The red-haired girl laughed angrily: "A little bastard who doesn't even have the form of a dragon, dare to bark at me Sindesala, even your father doesn't have the guts, do you really want to die so much?"

As she spoke, the air around her distorted, and the invisible force suddenly extended.

There was a crisp crack, the air burst continuously, and the escaping power was blocked by a slender young man.

The young man was knocked up by the messy force, but he stood firmly, and he said respectfully: "Your Excellency Sindesala, my sister is young and ignorant, and I will bear any faults, please don't worry about her." ”

"You are the invincible Silver Dragon Mirror Stone under the legend in the Dragon Domain?"

The red dragon princess Sindesalla snorted, "It's really unlucky to have such a sister." ”

Timmy's arrogance became even more arrogant: "Look, as long as there is a male appearance......, you are in the estrus preparation period! Woohoo......"

Jingshi covered her sister's mouth with sweat, and Sindsara sneered: "It sounds like you're not just fighting hard, Jingshi, you want to fight with me?"

Sensing the Red Dragon Princess's gaze on the indescribable, the mirror stone turned from sweaty to sweaty.

The empress's voice rang out: "Is it Timmy?Sinny, don't mess with her, aren't you all dragons, don't talk about harmony at all." ”

Hindsara and Timmy were eye-to-eye, and at the same time muttered in their stomachs, "The red dragon and the silver dragon are harmonious?Why don't you say that the black dragon is kind and the golden dragon is humble?"
