There is only one man and one woman in the quiet room, and the man is the Marquis Gerald, who can be said to be proud of the spring breeze recently, because he has become a representative of the southern nobles and merchants of the Aurora Kingdom, and has repeatedly criticized the northern magnates in the court for ignoring the interests of the south, and demanded the establishment of a multi-level council that includes the participation of nobles and merchants.

The woman is dressed in a military uniform, her hair is shawl, her posture is heroic, and her eyes are like economizer that people dare not force to shoot, her appearance was not originally a peerless beauty, and there is a crescent-shaped deep scar on the left forehead near the temple, but because of this rare fierce temperament, it is a unique charm, which not only suppresses men, but also makes people involuntarily have a trace of crazy desire to conquer each other.

Of course, the men who tried to conquer her failed, and even some people who acted out of line had a very bad end.

She is the Valkyrie of the Aurora Kingdom, Leona, among the legendary powerhouses, women are a minority, and Leona is a rare legendary female warrior.

But it's no fluke that Leona can be called a Valkyrie and stand tall in the Kingdom of Aurora as a woman.

The families of the Kingdom of Aurora value male members more than elsewhere, because of the extreme brute style, women are usually weaker than men in their concept, but they value the strong more, so Leona swept her opponent with absolute strength, and no one dared to challenge her again, still won the undisputed honor and status.

And Leona is not only outstanding in force, but also unique in leading troops to fight, and the legions she leads are brave and fierce.

She is not an academic magician, nor was she born in a place where you can systematically train commanders like the God of War Academy, when she was a girl, her father had a grudge with someone and died early, which led to the fall of the family, and the enemy took the opportunity to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, but she didn't expect to be destroyed by the other party's battle to become the starting point of the battle for the name of Leona Valkyrie.

She appears as a weak daughter who has lost her father. Gathering the remnants of the family's private soldiers, boosting morale, and taking the lead himself, he took advantage of the carelessness of the enemy's victory, and successfully counterattacked with the momentum of mourning soldiers in one fell swoop, killing the commander sent by the enemy. The leaderless enemy family guards were defeated, and the mercenary group hired by the enemy with money was also shocked by her offensive at the expense of the same end, and did not dare to fight her to the death.

Later, a year later, she was appreciated by an old general of the Aurora Kingdom, accepted as the only female apprentice, and led the troops to defeat the enemy and joined the teacher's army. After the death of the old general, she inherited the position of general and became a rare female general in the Aurora Kingdom, and also got the name of Valkyrie.

Marquis Gerald couldn't help but clench his palms slightly in the face of her, feeling some pressure, but he had no choice but to convince Leona.

"General Leona, today I ask to meet with you. It's because the people of the South need your help. "The Marquis Gerald was calm, and he didn't beat around the bush. Implicitly points out the meaning.

Leona's phoenix eyes swept over Marquis Gerald like electricity, and Marquis Gerald's face trembled, but he still mustered up the courage to say: "General, among the current countries, Titania has a deep heritage, and Asturias is the last. Although the Saxons are conservative, they have the help of the Church of Light, and only we seem to be like a brocade, but in fact we are rotten inside, and we have fallen behind others. If it continues like this. One day others will take us as prey, and the time has come for change. ”

Leona ignored his alarmist words, "The kingdom has the Eastern Beast Alliance as an ally outside the kingdom, and there are guards, such as me, Campbell Serves, and Antemiri inside, even Titania does not dare to offend lightly, and Asturias has nothing to fear." ”

Her long eyebrows moved, "On the contrary, you are always noisy, if the kingdom is not at peace, how can you fight against foreign insults." ”

Gerald's face couldn't help but turn red, but he took the risk of secretly meeting Leona this time, so naturally he wouldn't give up like this, and couldn't help but slow down his voice and said: "I know that the general has something to do, but I am still willing to be accused of rebellion and make a private appointment with the general, and the general is willing to see me, so naturally he will not open his eyes and tell nonsense." The royal family and those families have always rejected the southerners and despised the role of merchants, but the world has changed greatly, and the growth and decline of national strength is fundamental, whether it is to enrich the country and strengthen the army, or to fight against foreign enemies, they need more forces to participate, if they are allowed to continue to dictatorship and tyranny, and exclude dissidents, they will only deviate from morality and become weaker and weaker. The Eastern Beast Alliance seems to be strong, but the orcs are rude and barbaric, do not produce, only know how to consume, rely on robbery and battle to replenish, and climb up to Aurora after splitting, just like a parasitic plant, in fact, they are not our good allies, and in the end we always have to rely on ourselves!"

Leona surprisingly did not speak in a reprimanding tone, but sighed softly, speechless for a moment.

Gerald's words actually touched her, or in fact, she was not unaware of some crises in Aurora's country.

Since the third generation of kings of the Aurora Kingdom succeeded in "cutting the domain", a lot of power has been concentrated in the hands of the royal family, and the subsequent generations of kings are mediocre, or have outstanding personal force, but they are not the kings of the country, so these powers have been stolen by some courtiers, magnates or families with geniuses. shared, but they all basically belonged to the north, and the southern characters were excluded from the political situation, even the southern sword lord Roman was the same, but instead used a large number of orcs to enrich the force, maintain internal and external strength, and later accepted the Eastern Beast Alliance as mutual assistance, but still suppressed the southern part of the country into the core of the kingdom's power.

If there are exceptions, only the Valkyrie in front of her is a slight exception, because she is half a northerner, although her father is a southerner, but her mother is a northerner, but she can be raised by the army controlled by the north, and then has a lot of influence in military and politics, in addition to strength and achievements, there is also a big reason that the deceased teacher of Leona, the former commander of the legion, Francis, is highly respected in the north, and Leona, who inherited the mantle of Francis, can be accepted smoothly.

With the rapid development of other countries, some people in the south are more worried, worried that Aurora will fall too far behind in this country-to-country wrestling, and that they and their families will be tied up, so they will have a greater need for political power and try to change the dilemma between themselves and the kingdom.

These Leona are not without a little feeling, but she inherited the position of Francis, and also carried some of the responsibilities of Francis.

It should be said that her teacher is one of the few people in the northern faction who has good intentions towards the South, but this goodwill is also limited, and it is unlikely that he will completely stand on the side of the Southerners, but is close to the outgoing Carlo Grenan, hoping to find a balance between the North and the South, which is one of the reasons why Francis would accept a female disciple with half Southern blood.

Remembering this, Leona sighed, "Do you think that the only way to save the kingdom is to establish a council like Asturias? I cannot promise to support you fully, but they should indeed try to change their attitude towards you." ”

Leona said in a deep voice: "The rapid development of Asturias and Titania, I think the key is not what parliament they have established, that thing is just a mechanism for everyone to compromise and share power, and the supremacy of royal power is not without benefits, the concentration of power, as long as the direction is correct, everyone works together, but it is more effective than them, and the promising monarchs of the past generations, which one is not eloquent and powerful." Their development, I think because of the study of magic guidance, we are indeed weak in this regard, but it is the south that has the advantage of development in this regard, and the royal family and those families who reject the southerners because of selfishness have made the kingdom lag behind in this direction. I will advise the kingdom to encourage you to conduct and support the study of magic, and the research and development of magicians is always inseparable from abundant resources, and I will ask the kingdom to follow the strategy of Asturias and completely open up the alien planes that are being conquered and explored, allowing merchants and commoners other than nobles to participate, and treat the south equally. ”

Gerald's face was slightly bitter, knowing that Leona had rejected his contact with the merchants on behalf of the southern aristocracy.

Not long ago, he had officially received the support of most of the southern nobles and merchants, so he tried to contact Leona, if there was her support, not only would the southerners greatly increase their military strength, but also the prestige of the Valkyrie would make some other forces with poor relations with those few temporarily remain neutral, plus the new private army with the support of the Rose Bank, although Gerald could not be crazy enough to really seek to overthrow the royal power and abolish the monarchy according to the idea of the Rose Bank, but he hoped to establish a parliament and become a bridge for the southerners to enter the core of the kingdom's power。

But Leona did not support them, believing that the kingdom's plight and Gerald's hopes could be solved in another way.

That is, through the continuous external strategy, to conquer new alien planes, and in the process, to bring the role of southerners into play. The power of the southern aristocracy and merchants could be rewarded in the conquest and plundering of the Alien Planes, and even the need for power could be solved in this way.

Alien colonization can create positions of power, and can also settle southerners, especially if the southerners make great efforts in the conquest of that plane, even the kingdom will be difficult to stop.

In this way, there is no need to exacerbate the contradictions in the current kingdom structure, on the contrary, it can even be used to divert the contradictions, even if there will be resistance from the aborigines or the interference and hostility of other countries and forces in the conquest of the alien plane, but it will only in turn promote the unity of the north and the south, which Leona thinks is what she should do.

"Thank you, General, I will convey your kindness to everyone. Gerrard sighed, he was not satisfied with the result, but it was better than nothing.

I have to take one step at a time, hoping that it can really be as Leona expects, through external plunder and conquest, to alleviate the contradictions between the north and the south of Aurora, and get the resources needed for development, otherwise the gap with Asturia and Titania in the economy, military, politics, trade, magic research and other aspects will only get bigger and bigger, and the fate of the south will be even more embarrassing, because it will be subject to both the soft impact of the outside world and the exploitation from the north from the inside.
