Volume II, Chapter 34
"No, no, no...... Nothing," I said, pointing to the trail down the mountain, "Look, they're almost down the mountain!"
Lirita nodded slightly, "Go down by yourself, remember, don't be rude to Princess Charlotte." β
"Yes!"
Seeing that Lirita stopped talking, I put on my helmet and walked down the stairs...... I actually ran behind a goddess who was at least 3,000 years old for a long time!
Counting, she's my grandma's grandma...... In that generation, it is very likely that the body covered by her clothes was miserable, but fortunately I didn't see it!
No matter what! I have to see what I can do, if it's good, I'll keep it myself, and if it's bad, give Fischette to her!
Kindness...... I heard that there is also a princess Charlotte! My sister is already like this, and my sister is even more exciting...... What's the drooling?
"Governor Cohen!" a voice rang in my ears.
When I looked up, it was David, the god of war, and his voice was much softer.
"My lord!" I had an idea, and gave him a military salute to save him from the pain of kneeling.
David nodded at me, "They're almost there, so stand next to me." β
I stood to the side, but David turned to look at me again.
"My lord," I was furious at him, "is there anything wrong with me?"
"The round shield on your arm," said the god of war, "did Princess Lirita tell you how to use it?"
I shook my head.
The god of war frowned, "In this way, then you have to comprehend it yourself." β
"Your Excellency. It's just a shield. I asked, confused. "What is there to comprehend?"
This time it was the god of war's turn to shake his head, "You have to understand that everything that Princess Lirita gives you is specific to your characteristics, and she will never give you useless things." And out of all Princess Lirita's collections, which one is ordinary? Don't let down Princess Lirita's trust in you. β
I'm speechless...... Is it trust to get my body flying around in the air?
"I can only tell you a little," the god of war continued, "and it's not just a shield. β
"yes," I thought to myself. "If I want, I can use it as a vegetable mound. β
At this time, Fichette and his party had already stepped on the platform and walked in front of the god of war under the leadership of Venina.
"Everyone," Venina's voice was nice, but flat, "this is David, the god of war. β
Prince Letu of the Tanxi Empire, who was already walking in front, heard Venina's introduction, and immediately took three steps forward, chanting the praise of the gods in his mouth. He knelt on the ground and saluted with a "poof".
Good minion!
The god of war didn't say anything, and raised his hand to get him up. Who knew that he had just stood up, knelt down in front of me with another "poof", and kissed my combat boots!
I realized that my body was now covered in armor, and I put the helmet on again. Under the backdrop of the armor and cloak, it is simply an angry man! In the eyes of others, who knows whether this majestic guy is a god or a demon? Of course, he knelt down and said it!
The god of war is a villain, he is really a villain, he actually stood next to him and said nothing...... In that case, I'll let this Prince Letu kiss my boots!
"Prince Letu...... "I saw that he had kissed him for a long time, so I took off my helmet, "What are you doing?"
"Ah, how are you?" said Prince Letu, "you are so bold, you dare to deceive Your Highness!"
"What am I lying to you?" I said innocently, "I just came back from an errand for the great Protoss, and I want to stand here and sleep, who knows that I will see you as soon as I open my eyes...... What did I lie to you?"
I'm not talking nonsense, I can really sleep standing up......
"Two," the god of war had already spoken to the other two princes, and walked past us, "we should go." β
I paid no more attention to Prince Letu, and followed Fischet, talking to him as I went.
Fichette loved the cloak on my armour, and my brothers admired it.
"You'll have it too," I laughed, "depending on your luck." β
The god of war led us to a palace, handed us over to the other two Protoss women, and left.
The palace is different from Princess Lirita's palace in that it is more like a large garden, and all the buildings are surrounded by exotic flowers and plants...... Although it was snowy outside, the climate inside the palace was mild.
We were taken by two Protoss women to one of the small platforms, on which there were many stone chairs with high backs, which formed a circle with the low table between each of them, like a place for meetings.
"Everyone, please be seated," said one of the Protoss women who brought us here, "Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte will be here soon." β
Eleven people sat down in three places, I sat to the left of Fichette, and the three brothers sat next to the two of us.
But I hadn't seen even a bird fly by for a long time, and it was so quiet that I could hear my heartbeat.
No matter who I'm waiting for, waiting makes me feel unusually uncomfortable.
I turned my head to look at the others, all of them staring straight ahead, their bodies motionless. Fichette was still calm, as if he was thinking about something.
Finally, just when I couldn't help but feel like a handstand, they came.
I don't need anyone to sue me, I know she's Princess Charlotte, and she walks in front of the four maids to make my eyes shine!
She looks, she wears, and she is almost exactly the same as her sister.
If the most beautiful thing about her sister, Princess Lirita, is fickle, then the most beautiful thing about her is eternity, eternal beauty, plain, soft, but almost breathless! Because as soon as I blinked, I would find that she was even more charming than before I blinked, although she still had the same face and the same eyebrows...... But the more you look at her, the more you can't extricate yourself, and the longer you look at her, the deeper you fall.
Her eyes swept over everyone present, and immediately some people breathed heavily, and some even stopped breathing!
Swept by her eyes, I finally knew who the eyes of the three cardinal priests were learning! That is, they were learning from the Princess Charlotte in front of me! But for her...... It's almost a blasphemy!
Fichette's breathing was still steady, and his face was very cautious. But there seemed to be a glow in the eyes. This is the first time I've seen such a cautious look on his face...... His heart was moved.
I have to admit it. When it comes to women, I'm not as good as Fischette. If my heart is moving, my eyes will always be fanatical, and my expression is extremely grim, and all I think about is how to remove one obstacle after another and take it for myself.
And Fischet, he would rather hold his beloved things higher than himself, no matter what the cost.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte," while the others were confused. Fischette had already stood up and saluted, "I am Fischette of the Spya Empire, and I pay you the highest respect. β
"Prince Fichette, please be seated," Charlotte nodded slightly, "This is not an official audience yet, so there is no need to be restrained. β
Only then did the other two princes and their subordinates come to their senses and salute one after another. Princess Charlotte didn't care about their gaffes, and after answering them one by one. Everyone take a seat.
I knew it had to be a test she was in charge of. Hopefully I can get through.
"Prince Ribera," Charlotte began quietly after all the etiquette, "Is the Bansai Empire's products okay this year?"
"Yes, my god," the tall and thin Prince Ribera stood up, put his right hand on his chest, and bowed, "In recent years, the abundant products of the kingdom can fully support the divine alliance in this great war. In addition, the army of the country has also entered pre-war training, and the scale is even larger than the previous one. β
"In the last war, the Bamsai Empire performed outstanding feats, and I hope that Prince Ribeira can live up to the prestige of his father. β
"Yes, my God," said Prince Ribeira, "allow my fellow officials to report back the catalogue." β
Charlotte nodded in agreement, but I snorted coldly in my heart: from what I have observed along the way, Prince Ribera is a showy man, and he will never give up such an opportunity to his minister. The situation in your own empire is not clear, what kind of bullshit prince are you still being?
The two officials of the Bansai Empire stood up separately, and a large series of numbers came out of their mouths, among which the two most used words were "expected" and "probably".
These two people are pure straw bales, and the real person in charge of the Bansai Empire can never be them. But Princess Charlotte seemed to listen to it with relish...... But I'm sure she already knew the truth about the Bansai Empire.
"Prince Letu," Charlotte asked, turning her head, "and how is the Tansi Empire prepared?"
"Returning to my gods," said Prince Letu respectfully, "the country is poor in goods, and the only way to serve my gods is to train more elite soldiers." β
"Since the last war, there has not been a single official or nobleman in the country who has not worked hard. Now the army of the country has taken shape and is ready to fight at any time!" Prince Letu, who was well aware of the situation of his empire, said eloquently, "The newly formed expeditionary force has a total of 200,000 people, all of whom are the elite of the nearly one million soldiers of the country! It is divided into thirteen legions, all of which are commanded by the best generals of the country. β
"Among them, there are 880,000 heavy cavalry regiments, 450,000 heavy infantry regiments, and the remaining 70,000 royal legions are commanded by me. Listening to Prince Letu's words, he seemed to have confidence in his army, "All the required weapons and armor are complete! The training of special services has been completed! The army of the country will fight against the demons with the strictest military appearance and the highest morale!"
"Thank you, Prince Letu. Charlotte raised her arm lightly, "I heard that you have lived in the barracks for four years and have not returned to the mansion, and there are not many princes like you in the younger generation, please take a seat." β
"My god praises, and I am terrified!" said Prince Letu as he sat down, a smile on his lips.
Charlotte's gaze rested on Fichette.
"Prince Fichette, is the Sbia Empire at the forefront, ready?"
"Yes, our preparations for the war are all in progress," Fischette said, standing up, "and all the supplies for the Divine Coalition have been completed, but the food will not be ready until next summer's harvest." β
"The other empires were built ahead of schedule," Charlotte asked, "why can't the Sbia Empire?"
"Because four years ago, there were three years of food failure in our country," Fichette replied calmly, "and at the same time, every year a large number of refugees poured in from the dividing line between gods and demons...... These new refugees had no land to cultivate, no lord to lead, and they had to consume food. These refugees have just been settled. A new wave of refugees has arrived. β
Charlotte nodded slightly. "How did the Sbia Empire settle these refugees?"
"About that. We already have proper measures. In the newly built dark province of our country, there is a vast area, sparsely populated, and fertile land can accommodate tens of millions of people to cultivate. "Although the Dark Province is still under construction, the migration of refugees has already begun. By next year's spring planting, the total population of the Dark Province will reach three million. After the summer harvest, the Dark Province will be self-sufficient. Imperial support is no longer needed. β
"And what about the management of the Dark Province?"
"The Dark Province is governed by Governor Cohen Al Khaida, the third son of the Al Eda family. Fichette glanced at me, and I told him with his eyes that he continued, "The construction is normal, and the management mechanism is complete. β
Hearing this, Princess Charlotte did not speak, but swept her gaze at everyone, and her eyes implied encouragement.
My heart beats, it's coming!
"Can the Protoss delay the responsibility of the Protoss because of the refugees?" Prince Ribera snorted coldly. "It's just a few refugees who are resettled in the province of the Construction Bank, just kill them!"
Princess Charlotte smiled slightly. And not blocking. But I made a note of Ribera in my heart, and did not speak. Wait and see what Fichette will say.
"Prince Ribera, our country is different from yours," Fichette shook his head, "our country has a special territory, and indiscriminate killings are very likely to cause a civil uprising, and the civil uprising will cause a national uproar, and only then will it be called a major delay." What's more, by the time of next year's summer harvest, China will still complete its tasks as scheduled, and there will be no delay at all. β
"The Sbia Empire is doing this," Ribera is still stubborn, "it's disrespectful to God!"
"Whether our country respects the gods or not, the Bright God Clan naturally understands. "The different national conditions of each country cannot be so rigid that the people's grievances are boiling, and they should be treated separately according to the current situation, do you understand?"
Fischette's first half of the sentence was said in the ancient language of the gods, and a fool like Ribera couldn't understand it at all, but he was afraid of losing face in front of the gods, so he had to blink his eyes and nod obediently like a young apprentice, and fell into the trap of Fischett's second half of "Do you understand?" Suddenly looked sleepy and didn't dare to say more.
If it is replaced by someone else, even if you can't understand the first half of the sentence, you can use the second half of Fischert's sentence as the basis for counterattacking, only this kind of straw bag who doesn't know how to pretend to understand and suffers from gains and losses will be speechless.
Fischett, this guy usually looks like a ball of cotton. But now in a few words, Ribera's reality is clear, and this blow is accurate and ruthless, revealing the other party's superficiality. His wit made me almost applaud.
Princess Charlotte smiled silently, and the three guys from the Tanxi Empire were happy to watch the joke.
"Prince Letu," it seems that Princess Charlotte is not going to spare anyone, "what do you think about this?"
"Returning to my gods, I am a military general, and I may have to think more about such a thing," said Letu, "but according to Prince Fischet, it is appropriate to do so." β
Letu, this bastard, shows that he is very modest, self-motivated, and has goods in his stomach, and he dares to use the tone of an elder to evaluate Fischette's words, "It's appropriate"!
Fichette smiled and didn't speak, showing that his target was not on Letou now. Then I'll make a note of Letu in my heart.
"In that case, this matter is in favor of Prince Laufichette, and I hope that the Sbia Empire can prepare as soon as possible. Princess Charlotte got up from her chair, "When I came here just now, I saw flowers blooming in the garden by the roadside, would you be interested in accompanying me to see it?"
Who wasn't excited to hear that they could swim in the garden with the goddess? Of course, they nodded again and again, and asked Princess Charlotte to go first.
I was also excited, but the thought that this could be another new round of testing made my enthusiasm cool down a lot.
Then I noticed that one of Princess Charlotte's maids was holding a large vase in her hand, and the other was holding a tray with several golden scissors on it.
Looks like it's going to be a flower arrangement. Don't pick on me, I can't do this job, I've always seen that flower good...... I stole it while no one was looking at me.
The road to the garden was not short, Princess Charlotte led the three princes in front, and we followed behind with the foil minister, and the distance gradually widened, and after a few bends, we could no longer see the people in front of us. I don't know what's going on in front of us, but even the eyes of our group looking at each other are "crackling" and flashing with sparks.
Dare to stare at me? I'm going to want you to look good! But ...... Which side to start with?
I winked at my brothers, squeezed my body, and was already inserted between the two ministers of the Bansai Empire.
"Ah--this brother--" I saluted to the one on my left, who was dressed in a robe, "and I am envious to see that you are dressed so tastefully, and the colors are so elegantβ"
"Yes!
"Elegant and elegant!"
"Very tasteful indeed!"
The brothers exclaimed in unison.
"This is the clothing provided by the temple," the official said, "Everyone has it, and the difference in color and taste?"
"But it's different when I wear it on my brother's bodyβ" I reached out and pointed at his robes one by one, "Brother Tai has a slender body and a well-fitted physique...... Wearing this robe is even more chic and elegant. Brother Tai's handsome demeanor, others can't learn......"
"Yes, yes!"
"Physical fitness...... Chic and chic!"
"It's a handsome demeanor!"
This person was speechless, but there was already guard in his eyes.
My eyes were very sincere, "I'm a minister, do you know why I'm wearing armor?"
He shook his head.
"It was during the bath, and the robe given to me by the temple was far inferior to that of Brother Tai!" I said indignantly, "It doesn't fit well, how can I see people? I have to wear this heavy armor! Brother Tai is valued by the temple, and Cheng dΓΉ has already been reflected in this robe!"
"Look, this fabric, this needle, this placket, this neckline......" As I spoke, my voice immediately lowered as soon as my head approached his ear, "Let's work together and get a glimpse of the people of the Tanxi Empire first!"
"Ahh......h
"But before that," I sneered as my hand reached his collar, "I want to get a glimpse of youβ"
In his horrified eyes, my fingers began to strain, and a few small sounds rang out, and I made a cut in his linen robe through the neckline to his abdomen......
"Ahh
"You! you...... I...... I ......"
He held two pieces of torn fabric in his hand, covering his chest, and his eyes were extremely innocent. (To be continued......)
