379: Act II, War
Conference room.
The high-level leaders in the empire who can speak are all gathered here at this moment, waiting for the arrival of the emperor.
After a while, the door was pushed open, and the young men and women holding hands walked in leisurely, which made people both helpless and relieved.
It's really that the relationship between the two is too good, I'm afraid it's not, just a word from the young man, even if the empire is to be dissolved, the little emperor will gladly agree.
"All the staff is here, all right, take your seats, the meeting begins." Altaïr said.
Bai Hua shook his head, not caring about the gaze of others.
He didn't have any positions in the Empire, and although he actually controlled a few legions, he was not properly named, and these civil officials naturally looked at him unpleasantly, but they were used to it.
Looking around the room disappreciatively, Bai Hua's eyes flashed with nostalgia.
In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.
The little girls at the beginning have grown up to be able to take charge on their own, except for Akino Ya and Hoshino Suzu, they have all become a lot more mature.
[Night Raid] and his special squad disbanded the formation, and with their respective abilities, they gained a place in the empire.
"Time flies so fast, it feels like it's just a blink of an eye, everyone has changed, I'm also old." Bai Hua sighed with a heavy sigh.
"Woo~, it's not, Brother Bai Hua will always be my Brother Bai Hua, so he won't be old."
Akino Ya sat in Bai Hua's arms and retorted very seriously.
It's... The sour smell of love!
Although they knew that it was just an illusion, several people still couldn't control their emotions, staring at a few pairs of eyes full of murderous intent, staring at Akino Ya.
Stealing!
The oldest members of Uguyer, one by one, seemed to be about to eat Akino Ya, and remembered that they were called Sister Ya at the beginning, but now, their 'Sister Ya' looks younger than them, and has learned more than 100 kinds of selling cute techniques, more than 300 kinds of medicine prescriptions, 500 kinds of pot throwing skills, 800 kinds of discord schemes, more than 1,000 kinds of superior methods, and countless sultry postures.
Is there anything more odious than that?
It's just unreasonable, the scheming doesn't have this, Brother Bai Hua is everyone's, how can you monopolize it alone!
Traitor!
If you want to say that the mood is the most complicated, it is Suzu Hoshino.
She and Akino Masa are sisters who have the best relationship, but the other party ······ It's been frozen for three years, but she's surpassed her in growth, she still looks like an eleven or twelve-year-old little Lori, but Akino Ya has begun to take shape.
Why!!?
Of course, that's it, the most excessive thing is that the other party seems to float after coming to this world, what do you call her?
Sister Suzu?
Deliberately mocking?! I almost vomited blood out of breath, her age is younger than Akino Ya!
"Hey! You're enough, you have to change places. Altaïr snorted impatiently and motioned for Suzu Hoshino to call up the model.
Suzu Hoshino immediately cast a grateful look and quickly operated.
Soon, a virtual map unfolded in the center of the room, clearly marking the borders of the empire, as well as the continental plates.
Everyone was stunned for a while, and then came back to their senses in a trance.
Cars, trains, etc., there were some theoretical prototypes before the empire, and they could still accept them, but electronic devices such as computers, there were no theories, and even if they were used, it was difficult to adapt to them in a short time.
Altaïr observed the change in everyone's expressions, stepped forward with a nonchalant face, and pointed to a piece of territory in the empire.
"Here, this is our empire."
After speaking, he motioned for everyone to look at the rest of the map.
"And these, part of which are the territory of other countries, and part of which are undeveloped areas, how about it, how do you feel?"
"What, the empire is so small!"
"That's it... Eastern Kingdom, so small. ”
"There are so many places."
Everyone was talking about it, and the shock in their voices could not be concealed.
There were also more perceptive officials, looking at Altaïr, Bai Hua and the others, knowing that today's meeting was no longer the same as before, just discussing the development of the empire.
After a while, the map changes again, and a long red pillar rises from the Empire, with the number [3] displayed at the top, as do three other nations.
Immediately afterward, dozens of long blue cylinders rose up, marked with the number [2].
Finally, in some unexplored areas, long columns with the number [1] are raised.
"These numbers represent the level of civilization, [3] level civilization, which represents the stage of getting out of the cold weapon, developing hot weapons and implementing them, I believe everyone will be familiar with them, and the second-improved firearms have been equipped with various legions."
Altaïr points to the number [2].
"[2] level civilization is limited to cold weapons, and countries that have formed armies are included in this category, and [1] level civilization is a small country, or even a territory that has not yet fully evolved."
As he spoke, contempt appeared in Altaïr's eyes.
After investigation, there is still an unfinished crowd in this world, to put it bluntly, it is an ape-man, with incomplete wisdom, in a stone civilization, and there is no doubt about beasts.
Moreover, the empire also has arrogant capital.
Although there is more than one Empire in the [3] level civilization, the Empire has a unique weapon, the Imperial Tool.
And under Bai Hua's development, the organ simulation of the super dangerous species has been completed, and the emperor can be mass-produced.
The ability to mutate in resonance has been eliminated, and the blessing of combat power has not been weakened, far exceeding that of ordinary firearms.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call the empire the strongest civilization in the world.
"General, ······ do you mean?"
The high priest asked hesitantly, and also understood, this is the rhythm of expanding the territory, thinking of the fact that the empire has been strengthening its military in the past five years, and he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.
This was clearly premeditated.
As a high priest, he was not only in charge of rituals and other things, but four years ago he was assigned to supervise agriculture, concerned about the safety of the people, and really disgusted with war, whether it was for the people of the empire or for other countries, he couldn't bear it.
At this moment, Lan stepped forward and patted the high priest on the shoulder.
"High priest, there are some things that must be done, and now we have the ability not to take the initiative, and in the future, we can only be passive."
"Lord Lan, do you support it too?" The high priest exclaimed in disbelief.
As a representative of the new faction, Lan is not a military attaché, but he acts decisively, but he has always longed for peace, and when he talked with the high priest, he sighed that today's peace was not easy to come by, how could he support war now?
Lan smiled and asked rhetorically, "Could it be that the high priest thinks there is a second option?" ”
“······”
The high priest looked at the faces of the people who were sitting on the throne, and was silent for a moment.
The content of today's meeting was discussed by those few people in advance, and now, it is not a meeting discussion at all, but to inform them of the decision of the Empire.
If you don't support it, can you still oppose it?
"Alas, old man, support."
