Chapter 176: Estes (5k begging for a monthly pass and subscribing~)

The military parade was held on the main square called the Imperial Square, and the little emperor of the empire, who was only seven or eight years old, attended in gorgeous and solemn costumes representing the status of imperial power.

He wore a golden crown on his head, a gorgeous cane in his hand, and a small and immature face, trying to maintain a calm and serious expression, and he looked decent.

Beside the little emperor, standing was the tall and mighty, exuding the aura of a man of steel, this man who was already a pillar of the empire before Estes, and he was in a good mood today.

Bringing His Majesty the Emperor out of the palace controlled by the minister Earnest to come into contact with the good men of the Imperial army was a very important thing in the eyes of General Bude.

Otherwise, the young emperor has been growing up under the service of the harem women, and his usual contact with slaves and women has always been how to cultivate manhood?

"General Bud, why would the minorities of the South rebel against the rule of the Empire? Are there anything they don't like about me? ”

Looking at the soldiers who were preparing, the little emperor asked the doubts in his heart, he had actually been thinking about this question all the time, but unfortunately he couldn't understand it at all.

"Obviously, the situation in various places is very good, the wind and rain are smooth, there are no disasters, there is plenty of food, there are clean officials, and the government decrees are clear, why would anyone want to rebel? Do they just not know how to be satisfied? ”

The little emperor's words sound very reasonable, if the situation of this empire is really as he said, then there is really no reason for the rebellion of those ethnic minorities, and it is no wonder that this little guy is puzzled.

General Bude was a little silent for a while in the face of the little emperor's inquiry, he didn't know how to tell the naΓ―ve little emperor that the situation in this empire was actually not so good.

But that kind of thing obviously does not belong to his profession, and it is not something he should talk about or discuss.

Bude, who has always adhered to the belief that "only the army is in charge and does not discuss politics", will not take the initiative to expose the minister's coaxing words to the little emperor, although he knows that they are all false.

This is also an important reason why Minister Earnest will let the little emperor follow General Bud out, and Minister Ornest clearly knows what kind of person General Bud is.

However, General Bude doesn't speak, it doesn't mean that others can't speak, and the people who heard the little emperor's question are not the only ones, and he is not the only one who has the qualifications to speak here.

"Your Majesty, those barbarians in the south are all beastly and untamable guys, it is not so strange that they will rebel, after all, the desires of beasts are difficult to control, but under the ravages of the powerful army of the empire, they will not have any chance of resistance, I will crush them."

The answer to the little emperor's question was a woman's voice, which was very young, but the words were full of confidence.

"General Estes, are you ready?"

The Little Emperor and General Bude, as well as the guards and generals standing behind them, all looked at the visitor, and the woman was General Estes, the main general of this expedition.

As a radical general who has risen to prominence in recent years, Estes's reputation can be said to be rising rapidly, and he has reached a position that can be equal to General Bude, who has gone through two dynasties.

"Yes, it's ready, Your Majesty don't worry, I'm completely sure, it won't be long before I can return to the dynasty with the Great Victory Class."

Dressed in a completely different style from the generals around him, not like a general, but like a Coser, Estes knelt down on one knee and saluted the little emperor.

This woman's aura is very powerful, and just standing there makes it impossible to take your eyes off her body.

This is not because of her naked, slender and long white thighs, nor because of the great evil that her neckline is low on her chest, but because of her real personal charm, which seems to have her own aura.

"I'm sure General Estes can do it, but what is General Estes going to do with those rebels? Before, at the court meeting, General Estes, didn't you apply for the right to dispose of yourself? I still have some interest in your thoughts, can you share them with me? ”

The little emperor did not let Estes continue to kneel on the ground, but directly let her stand up, he seemed to easily believe Estes's statement, and did not continue to ask what the reason for the rebellion of those minorities was, but began to ask how Estes planned to deal with those minority rebels after the war.

"The minister is about to ask His Majesty for instructions, and according to the minister's opinion, we should deal with those wild and untamable southern minorities more harshly."

Estes stood up, her eyes flashed with excitement and belligerence as she looked at the little emperor, although she did not look like a fierce person, she looked extremely standard, tall and hot, and her face was delicate and beautiful, like a princess.

But the words that came out of her mouth were as chilling as demonic whispers, and her personality was obviously not normal.

"They have been entrenched in the south and have received all kinds of preferential treatment from the empire, but not only do they not want to repay the empire, but they have been constantly harassing the place, constantly making trouble everywhere, and the minister thinks that completely eliminating them is the best solution, and it can be done once and for all."

Estes really went with this intention this time, she didn't look at the ethnic minorities living in the south unpleasantly, she didn't want them to be wiped out, she just wanted to create more excitement for the peaceful life.

Estes will not kill all the people of those ethnic minorities, she will deliberately let go of some people with strength, heart, and talent, so that those people will work hard to become stronger in pain and hatred.

Then she would wait for those people to come to her for revenge, and in the end she would easily defeat the avengers, and she would humiliate them and feel their pain as much as she could.

This is Estes's traditional art, cultivating enemies and then defeating them, this is the most top-level torture method among her many interrogation and torture methods, and for this super shake S queen, this is the spice of life.

Although this kind of behavior would be considered very brain-dead by ordinary people, after all, those villains who "cut the grass but not eradicate the roots" will generally die very miserably, but for Estes, it is because she has enough confidence in her own strength, so she will do it.

Compared with Bigu Kiyojuro, the woman Estes is actually invincible in the setting, and in the final battle, she fought against more than a dozen imperial envoys and million-level troops with her own strength, not only did she not feel any pressure, but she was also very happy.

If it weren't for her being too careless, if it weren't for the [Kill Village Rain] and the red pupil of the explosive seed, she wouldn't have died in the end, this kind of character of hers has been ingrained, this is a bad habit that she has developed for too long, and it is also a weakness in her character.

"Do this... Isn't it a little too cruel? Have they sinned to this extent? ”

The little emperor hesitated a little, he had a slight objection to Estes's idea, he always felt that those rebels should not be to the point of being exterminated.

"How can it be cruel? Your Majesty, when you think of the people of the Empire who are being ravaged by the rebels, you will not feel cruel to do so, all this is the result of what they have done wrong. ”

Estes obviously didn't intend to change his mind, and the little emperor didn't say anything more, he felt that since he had given General Estes carte blanche to deal with it, he shouldn't interfere more.

The little emperor always remembered the minister's teachings to him, that is, he should study more, listen more and ask more questions about government and military affairs, but do not make decisions lightly, and listen to the opinions of experienced officials.

And the little emperor too

Indeed, he basically left all the decisions in the hands of the minister, and he was obviously the only "experienced official" in the eyes of Minister Earnest.

Although he does not have the right to make decisions, the little emperor often asks some questions and listens very carefully, and the ministers often interact with him, so the little emperor feels that he is actually very involved in the court meeting.

The little emperor didn't have the slightest feeling, he felt that he was being set aside, but he felt that he was doing everything himself, and he had a sense of achievement, and the minister's grasp and control of his character was really textbook-like, and Earnest's ability to coax children was really not to say.

"It's all set to go."

While the Little Emperor was chatting with Estes, Najeta walked up to the podium with an adjutant, and she first saluted the Little Emperor, and then looked at General Bud and Estes.

These two "pillars of the empire", the former is a political ally she wants to win over, but repeatedly rejects her, and the latter is her good friend, but she disagrees with her politically, Najeta feels that it is too difficult, but fortunately she finds her brother, so that her life is sunny again.

Najeta was already fully armed at this time, she was not as "waved" as Estes, but went to the battlefield in her regular clothes.

There was only one "wave" present, and there was only one adult, Estes, even General Bud was wearing armor, and in addition to Estes, the other one who was wearing regular clothes was the little emperor, but they just came to have a ceremony, and they were dressed solemnly, not as casual as Estes.

"So, let's get started."

The little emperor looked at General Bude, and after receiving a positive answer from the other party, he directly issued an order and announced the official start of the military parade, which was actually the official start of this expedition.

After the soldiers were reviewed, they would leave the imperial capital directly and go to the battlefield in the south to counterinsurgency.

Ling Ze followed Najeta up to the Dianjiang platform, standing at the very edge, and together with a group of guards of the same identity, he could also see the scene of the military parade.

At first, Najeta was actually a little resistant to him wanting to follow him to the stage, after all, she was worried that Ling Ze's eyes would affect him, but under Ling Ze's insistent request, Najieta, who doted on her younger brother, finally agreed to Ling Ze's request, but that was also after Ling Ze proved that his eyes would not affect his actions.

"These are the two guarantees that this empire will not perish no matter what it does, and it is really reassuring."

Ling Ze thought about it for a while, if he was the emperor, with such two generals under his hands, it seemed that he really didn't have to worry about the country being attacked, but he felt that what he needed to worry about more might be the loyalty of these two generals.

After all, with such a terrifying power in his hands, it was difficult for Ling Ze not to be afraid of them, unless he had a more powerful power than the other party, and if he was just an ordinary person, he would probably have to face them tremblingly and walking on thin ice.

In this kind of world with the ability to "destroy the country and destroy the world alone", Ling Ze still doesn't really believe in the so-called "loyalty", and the powerful people really obey the weak people, no matter how you think about it, Ling Ze thinks it is unlikely.

In this kind of world, "big fist" is the simplest but hardest truth, and there is nothing more effective than this, which is why he feels that he may overthrow the empire and become his own master, after all, those children around him are one of the "biggest fists" in this world in the future.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Ha! Ha! Ha! ”

As the war drums of unknown dangerous skins rang out, Estes' army began to pass through the newly built tall parade platform to be inspected by their generals and His Majesty the Emperor.

It was a completely different army from the Imperial army on the border, their discipline was strict, their momentum was high, and their formation was also very neat, as if they were countless doppelgangers of a person, which reflected their excellent basic qualities.

Each of them has excellent physical fitness and mental outlook, this is what an empire that dominates the world should look like, and Estes really has a set of rules for governing the army.

Although she is a queen of Shake S, her Shake S metamorphosis attribute will only be shown when dealing with enemies.

When facing his own people, Estes is actually quite a normal character, so this Queen of Shake S actually has extraordinary popularity in the empire.

Her popularity is not the same as Najeta's, after all, although she is very good to her own people, she is too cruel to the enemy, everyone worships her and respects her, but they don't want to marry her home, she is more like an idol, she can only be seen from a distance and cannot be blasphemed, not as simple as Najeta's style.

Estes treats her subordinates very generously, she does not love money, she always gives the bounty given by the emperor to her subordinates, and she is not greedy for enjoyment, she can eat with ordinary soldiers and enjoy the same treatment.

Therefore, the morale of the army she led is extremely high, and the military quality and personal quality are also extremely high, and everyone is willing to serve her to the death, which Ling Ze has already seen.

And she can get along well with ordinary people, she can talk casually with the shopkeepers on the street, she never accepts bribes, does not accept any unspoken rules, this famous female general, also has many fans in the empire.

She cooperated with Minister Earnest only because the Minister was able to provide her with more opportunities to fight, her personality was very belligerent, and she liked the thrill of war.

"General Estes's troops are really reassuring, our empire has such soldiers to serve, what is there to worry about?"

Like Ling Ze, although the little emperor is young, he also has similar feelings, and he has great trust in the abilities of General Bude and General Estes.

"They are all good sons, when I return from a great victory, Your Majesty should not be stingy in rewarding them."

Estes really loves soldiers like a son, and she doesn't forget to win awards for her soldiers, and she never wants to reward them herself.

"Of course! This is a certain thing, even if Estes Qing doesn't say it, I will definitely do it. ”

The little emperor happily promised and gave a promise of "this time", in fact, if he just looked at it like this, Ling Ze felt that this was only a seven or eight-year-old little emperor, and he actually did a very good job.

At least this kid knows what rewards and punishments are, and can give these imperial ministers enough respect, he doesn't look like a faint king, and it can be seen that in this child's heart, he also hopes that he can be a beloved Ming Jun.

"It's a pity that those people around you don't want you to be well."

Ling Ze sighed slightly, if it weren't for the minister Ornest, if General Bude didn't have such a rigid character, and this little emperor was cultivated, the national glory of this empire might be able to continue for a while.

Of course, the current problems of the empire cannot be solved by a good emperor, after all, the empire is rotten at the root, and the change from the top down and from the inside to the outside will not work, and the only way to save the country can be through violent dismantling and reorganization from the bottom up and from the outside in.

The current empire, in Ling Ze's opinion, is like the end of the Qing Dynasty, even the end of the Ming Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty, this Qing Dynasty is the final pill no matter how it jumps.

"Let's go, let's go."

Najeta came to Ling Ze's side and told him to follow, and by this time Najeta and Estes had already left the little emperor, and they were about to start with the army.

"This is? Your new lieutenant? ”

Estes looked at Ling Ze, her eyes looking Ling Ze up and down, interesting.
