In the end, the total number of private soldiers and mercenaries integrated from the alliance was as high as 25,000. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn Sophia's view, the numbers are meaningless, because a scattered rabble cannot be regarded as an 'army'.

And the [Luna Armor] is also not available to everyone. Not to mention the production cost and materials, it is impossible to carry out large-scale mass production, and even if it is used, the body must be strengthened to a certain extent, and the use of the team's armament also needs to be trained.

In other words, a detailed control and training programme will have to be decided on later. However, in terms of the management of soldiers, she already has a suitable candidate in mind. So, put that aside for now.

"Next, there's the way to purify the mana pollution...... Before we do that, we have to introduce you to a person. ”

As she spoke, Sophia returned her gaze to the direction of her eldest sister, Alice. As if she had been prepared, Alice bowed slightly, walked to the side door of the hall, and reached for the doorknob.

Probably an illusion, the moment the door was opened, everyone felt a refreshing cool breeze sweep through the hall, and then, a girl so beautiful that she couldn't find an adjective appeared.

Most of the nobles have a certain degree of resistance to beautiful women, after all, the aristocratic women in the social circle pay attention to their appearance and often dress up in a fancy way. But they had never seen anyone with a beauty comparable to the girl in front of them.

The girl was wrapped in a pure white silk skirt all over her body, and her finely carved facial features and beautiful expression echoed each other. If there is anything to compare her beauty, then there is probably only "the goddess of ice and snow".

Of course, not everyone is unimpressed with the girl in front of them. For example, the alliance leader, Count Lutga, showed a somewhat puzzled look, and the [Eitania] lord who had just spoken was terrified, and the [Regerdia] Count Will looked familiar. Except for all their faces, there is nothing but amazement.

"This is Miss Laqi...... Ratchey Crusnier. ”

Alice trotted all the way to the girl's side, took her hand that was as white as snow, and introduced it to everyone.

"Krusnier......?"

Someone repeats the girl's last name, and then compares Alice and Ratche's appearance back and forth. The same surname, like sisters, similar facial features. If it weren't for the fact that Count Lutga was too young, it would even make people misunderstand that the two were biological sisters.

As a result, most people have secretly come up with a more reliable conjecture - this is probably a relative of the lord, such as a niece.

However, Alice's words then negated all conjectures and brought them back to a state of confusion.

"She's my mother. ”

"Huh!?you, you mean...... Mother?" It was Earl Will who took the lead in shock, and once again he carefully examined the face of the girl named Laqi, as beautiful as ever, which made people's hearts congeale, but aside, it was the mother of an eight-year-old girl, who was too young, and she looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old at most.

In addition, some of the lords and nobles who were born in the imperial capital, and the lords and nobles who had experienced the 'bloody suppression' eight years ago, were even more stunned by this. Because they know that the mother of the triplets in this house died eight years ago. And her identity is the princess of the empire who has never had time to marry Count Lutga - Flora.

However, for the girl's appearance at the moment and Alice's introduction, the person concerned, Count Lutga, did not put on a negative look, and could only see some doubts and worries on his face. However, after a pause, Alice added-

"Uh...... It doesn't seem quite right to say that now. It should be said that Miss Ratch is a woman who is about to marry her father and will soon become our mother. As she introduced, Alice led Ratchet through the door into the room.

Rathi just bowed slightly, and bowed casually in an elegant posture, without saying anything, perhaps in the eyes of the nobles who were inferior to men, the girl's response was more rude, but because it was so breathtaking, and even made people feel a certain 'fear' of the amazing beauty, everyone forgot about it.

Miss Ratchey will be preparing to marry her father at the beginning of next month. ”

"Ahem, this, this is really surprising news, congratulations on the alliance leader, you can marry such a beautiful woman......" One of the younger nobles in the room coughed dryly, and cast an envious glance at Count Lutga. If it had been a few months ago, before the crusade against the Demon Dragon, he would have shown blatant jealousy, or used the rumors of 'O Child' to satirize in public.

Just like before, someone takes the lead, and naturally someone follows closely. Suddenly, the sound of blessings in the hall came and went.

"Ah, oh no...... Ahaha...... Thank you, thank you. ”

In this regard, the alliance leader Lutga was still a little at a loss, he scratched the back of his head, showed an uncomfortable smile, and expressed his gratitude to the people who congratulated him. The party on the other side, a girl named Laqi, tilted her head, a little unclear.

"However, Lord Alice, may I ask if this has anything to do with the 'Purifying Magic' mentioned earlier?"

Naturally, someone hit the nail on the head and raised the question. But Alice, of course, was prepared, she used her long-honed storytelling skills, and Wanwan arrived and began the following explanation-

"Miss Ratchey isn't really human. ”

"Hah, no, not humans, are they orcs!?" Alice's words immediately caused some of the nobles to react violently.

You know, in the Tyranian Empire, the distinction between subhuman races has been deeply rooted, especially in the aristocratic upper class who believe in the Goddess Cult, and these people consider orcs to be dirty and lowly, a term that is equivalent to slaves.

I have to say that it is really a great doctrinal brainwashing, until the men who still cast longing eyes on Laqi, they can resist the superimposed effect of the beauty of the alluring city and the 'dragon power', and their eyes changed in an instant.

"No, not orcs, Miss Laki is a rare tribe known as the Dragonmen. ”

"Dragonman ......?"

"I'm sure all of you here have heard of the myth of the Abyss Dragon that circulates around the Fa Rilabis Mountains. ”

"Ahhh......h Of course I do! The ancient kingdom was destroyed by the angry dragon, and finally the hero with the holy sword sealed the dragon on the top of the mountain. ”

"Yes, that's right!" Alice said in a gesture of "this is it" with her index fingers stretched out at the same time, and continued, "This Miss Ratch is the last descendant of the royal family of the ancient destroyed kingdom. Legend has it that the kingdom at that time worshipped the Ayebuchi Dragon as a god, but because they violated the will of the gods, they were destroyed in the end. And the royal family of the country at that time was the dragon clan that had the blood of the dragon flowing in its body and was able to dredge up with the consciousness of the Qingyuan Dragon. It is precisely because of this that they have been able to use the power of the demon dragon to make the country strong for a long time. ”

"Oh...... A similar legend seems to have ......"

The older aristocrats echoed this way, and because of its long history, there are many different myths about the Abyschi Dragon, and there are many different legends circulating just in the vicinity of the Fa Rilabis Mountains. In order to fool today, Alice also did her homework.

"All in all, whether it is worshiped as a dragon god or the Qingyuan Dragon as a demon seal, the power of the dragon clan wizard is indispensable. Just like in ancient times, Miss Rakhi, who originally lived deep in the mountains and forests, was a shrine maiden of the dragon people, and she left her secluded home alone in order to warn the world about the resurrection of the demon dragon and convey the method of sealing it. Since Miss Ratchei doesn't know much about the world, she encountered some dangers on the road......"

Speaking of this, Alice smiled a little slyly and swept her gaze to the lord of [Eitania]. This made the other party immediately stagger his gaze and bow his head in embarrassment.

"My father rescued Miss Laqi by chance during his journey and learned from her how to defeat the dragon. ”

"Oh oh I see!!"

Alice's annotation made everyone present suddenly realize, including the lord of [Aitania], who was the only person on the scene who had witnessed the power of the Rakisaurons. To this day, the light that pierced the sky at that time is still vivid. If it's to kill the demon dragon, that power is understandable.

At the same time, he also secretly cursed in his heart for the gray beast group slave merchants who kidnapped Raqi, which was like digging a fire pit for himself to jump.

"As a shrine maiden of the Dragonmen, Miss Ratch has mastered the ritual of purifying magic on a large scale, after all, her ancestors did the same thousands of years ago. Although the demon dragon has been exterminated now, the breaking of the seal still causes a lot of bad sequelae to the surrounding environment. ”

"Then, please arrange the ceremony—"

"Please rest easy, the ceremony of the dragon people is special, it must be held together with the wedding ceremony. So ......"

This time, before Alice could finish speaking, everyone suddenly realized "oh-oh-" again. The combination of the dragon witch and the dragon-slaying hero and the blessing of the world to its demise sounds plausible and full of legends.

As for whether there is love between the two or not, it doesn't matter to the nobles. Because, the so-called aristocracy marries for the sake of "necessity"

And the political strategy of the organization is just that. They believe that the same is true of the marriage contract with Princess Flora,

Alice was smug about the reaction and smiled smugly at her sisters. The reason for this is that when it is rehearsed and explained in advance,

Arize: "Sister~~ There is no scientific basis~~"

Sophia: "yes, the context is not plausible......"

Finally, Alice, who was in high spirits, announced-

"If you can understand, it's really gratifying, in order for the ceremony to go smoothly, I hope you can meet some of our small requests, as mentioned in the previous visit, we need to set up a special magic guide on the top of the high-rise buildings in your city, so that the effect of the ceremony can spread throughout the Imperial Alliance territory. ”

"When, of course, very willingly!"

As a result, of course, it was a complete response, and if anyone present was still confused about this, then there were probably only two people, the alliance leader Lutga and the quasi-alliance leader's wife Laqi.
