Chapter 74 The Queen Has Changed?
Bell tribe king tent, outside the city of Serena.
Countless torches along with the blessings given by shaman priests and priests of the Church of the God of War, made 200,000 elites from different orc tribes stronger and fiercer.
At the forefront of the phalanxes, half-dragon princess Tasika raised the crimson sword and exclaimed:
"Hot-blooded men of the orcs, the Green Vine Empire attacked the Wolf tribe, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. Now their greedy soldiers are pointing towards the depths of the Khenpusak desert, towards the homeland where we live. Coming towards our wives and daughters, cattle and sheep!
Those evil imperials want to take from the goddess the last refuge of the orcs, and turn it into another bloody page of the history of the evil queen's conquest... In this crisis, are there any warriors willing to join me on the expedition to fight the Green Vine Empire? "
Under the influence of divine magic, her voice reached the ears of every soldier present.
The news that the Green Vine Empire captured the Wolf tribe was also spread to all the other tribes, and no one wanted their home to be trampled by the iron hoofs of the enemy.
Princess Tequila is slender and beautiful, but now even this princess has to go to the battlefield to fight against foreign threats, how can the people present bear it! All of them, full of enthusiasm cried out loud:
"Yes sir!"
Tasika leaned forward and asked with a pretense of doubt, "Are there no warriors? Are there no men in my orc tribe? Why can't I hear a sound?"
The emotions of the orc soldiers were provoked, their throats were raised, their chests were slapped, their eyes were red, and they roared hoarsely:
"I will!!!"
Noisy answers echoed above the yellow sand, resounding through the sky, just for the princess to hear their voices.
Tasika raised a hand, a beautiful silver dragon descended from the sky, lowered her head in front of her, and asked her to sit on it.
The beautiful princess turned out to be a powerful dragon knight?
The orc soldiers felt that their situation was stable.
The giant dragon is also one of the most powerful monsters in the evernight world. The one who can conquer the giant dragon and become dragon knights must be the most powerful person in the world.
Tasika controlled the dragon to climb to a height overlooking the army formation, pointing her long sword to the east, "Kill all the ivy thieves!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The most elite soldiers of the 200,000 orcs started to run forward with Tasika.
Go east.
In the city of Serena, in the palace, one could faintly hear the high-spirited shouts of killing outside the city.
The current chief of the Bell Tribe, Francesca Caccini, held up the wine glass and smiled at the chiefs of several large tribes, "Listen, this daughter of mine is still good at mobilizing morale, and after handing the soldiers into her hands, you can be rest assured?"
"Don't worry! Princess Tequila lives up to her reputation!"
These chiefs are also full of praise.
In the face of a powerful enemy, the soldiers under her can charge without fear of death, even females can be called fierce generals in this world.
She also has a good chance to resist the so-called undefeated queen.
It's just that they don't know that if they could look from above and see far, they would see Princess Tequila, who claims to take the initiative to fight, the soldiers in command, and Rommel's marching route...
Passed by one another.
On the silver dragon's back.
"Lord Joestar, is this the only way?" The true Tasika washed her face in tears in the sea of consciousness as she looked at the Ivy army that was heading straight for Serena Castle.
There was no emotion in old Joestar's voice, "If you don't shed enough blood, you can't overshadow the hatred among the tribes."
The true Tasika stopped her mourning and then became firm, "I understand, then together we will unite the orc tribes and fight against the tyranny of Ivy!"
…
…
The mysterious capital, Charles House.
Angelina was pulled out of bed by the Queen of Eternal Night.
She didn't complain.
As the chief assistant of the empire, it is normal to be disturbed when urgent official duties come up.
What's more, this time, Her Majesty came to the door in person, instead of summoning her to the palace. She woke up instantly and came to the living room in her pajamas.
Then she saw the scene of her younger brother drinking tea and snacks with the Queen of Eternal Night, and chatting enthusiastically and speculatively.
Angelina: Is this my trash brother? He is able to chat with Her Majesty about national affairs?
"Your Majesty, what is so urgent that you have to summon this minister late at night?" Angelina sat down on a chair specially reserved for her.
The Queen of Eternal Night was holding a pot of puffs but she could still speak clearly while eating, "Oh, it's nothing urgent. It's mainly because our dear Roger said that the desserts here are better than those from the Royal Academy of Magic. I came to have a taste and then I suddenly remembered that I have to talk to you about the law."
Angelina, "Didn't Your Majesty reverse the order of importance?"
Shouldn't we talk about the law first and then taste the dessert?
You are the wise and marvelous Queen of the empire!
The Queen of Eternal Night was temporarily occupied by desserts and responded subconsciously, "No, it's delicious, don't you want to try it?"
"Sorry, I'm not hungry, Your Majesty, what's wrong with the law?"
Angelina turned her head with difficulty.
I'm not a strong person like you, I'm an ordinary person, I can't use up my calories, I refuse to continue to eat desserts!
At this moment, I already have three catties of fat on my body and there is nowhere to put it, please don't seduce me with puffs!
And it's still late at night!
Isn't eating this calorie bomb late at night trying to gain weight?
Please give me some immediate political diversion!
"Then sister, try this mango mousse, it'´s a new recipe from the kitchen."
Roger picked up a beautiful triangular cake and handed it to Angelina.
"You are all devils!"
Angelina didn't hold back and took it.
Her brother's desserts have always been delicious, and she couldn't miss the new recipes she had never tried.
She is not hungry, but she is thirsty!
As for fatness...
One would definitely not get fat after eating such a small piece of cake
Next, the three discussed the issue of the law.
Under the arrangement of the Empire, pretending to be the Restoration Army, they have very precisely targeted the remaining nobles of the Seventeen Kingdoms. In addition, the people in the old places of the Seventeen Kingdoms were bullied, and their unstoppable emotions were also vented towards the bereaved families of the Seventeen Kingdoms.
As a result, a large area in the territory of the Seventeen Kingdoms has been vacated and is ownerless.
After the cabinet discussion, Angelina led the formulation of the "Equalizing Land Decree", and planned to distribute the farmland obtained this time to the people of the seventeen countries according to the population.
This new system is conducive to the reclamation of unowned land, improves farmers' enthusiasm for production, and will have a positive effect on the restoration and development of agriculture there.
Moreover, the increase in the proportion of self-sufficient farmers is beneficial to centralization.
Compared with the low and backward territorial governance level of the nobles of this era, if the decree of equalization is implemented smoothly, it will be a sign of progress.
But the actual situation of the Green Vine Empire right now is that even if the land is allocated, those farmers will face famine before they have time to harvest.
Then it will be harvested by the southern nobles, and it will be impossible to save the people and the land.
In this way, the land and population that the empire had worked so hard to win over by disguising as the Restoration Army in the past, will finally return to the traditional land aristocracy.
The Queen of Eternal Night and Roger discussed the situation, and they both agreed that this is by no means the right time to implement the Equalizing Order.
Even with the existence of the growth spell, if those southern nobles operate properly, they can still make huge profits and plunder large tracts of land.
Therefore, Roger suggested that the land held by the empire shouldn't be distributed, and should become state farms.
Direct investment by the state, direct management, unified harvest, overall distribution and control of grain prices.
If the central government of the empire holds enough grain it'll fundamentally prevent the great aristocracy from hoarding the grain and making it difficult for the country to make money.
It can also greatly strengthen centralization.
Moreover, the follow-up Magicka, seed improvement, magic water irrigation facilities, and more alchemy tools can all be tested on state farms.
Concentrated and large-scale farmlands are also suitable for this kind of "Mechanical-like" development since it bypasses the problems of ordinary farmers not being able to afford it and big nobles not paying attention to it, thus failing to develop related industries.
This is the economic self-circulation model that Big Brother has practiced.
The industrial sector manufactures mining equipment and sells it to the mining sector, the mining sector buys the equipment and digs out ore and sells it to the industrial sector, and the industrial sector uses the ore to manufacture more mining equipment and sell it to the mining sector…
Before the output reaches the upper limit and as long as there are no external competitors, relying on this self-circulation, the economic scale and vitality will continue to increase, and the country's productivity will be pulled up like this.
It is also feasible to apply it to the agricultural development of the empire.
In the early stages, the construction of the empire ensured a large enough market for alchemy farm tools, and magicians had the motivation to carry out research on development and production.
The Queen of Eternal Night has a limited understanding of economics, but Angelina is an expert in internal affairs. She considered that Roger's state-run farms that magically expand the scale of agriculture are very feasible!
"Famine, displaced peasants, and serfs are also more receptive to state farms. They are reluctant to accept new things but, compared to the benevolent deeds offered by southern aristocrats... it is a great opportunity for the implementation of state farms!"
Angelina's eyes glowed with admiration, she stared at Roger and said in disbelief, "Are you my brother?"
"Please look at the problem from a different perspective, thank you."
Roger didn't dare to answer directly. It's hard to say that your real brother has already been killed by Joestar.
Of course, Angelina didn't doubt his identity but was surprised that Roger could make such great progress in a short period.
He made "New Arcane" and the trend of thoughts and magic industrialization triggered by "New Arcane" promoted the agriculture of the empire...
Rubbish magic would just surprise Angelina, but the concepts of state farms, tractors, magic rice, combined harvesting puppets, etc. completely shocked her with the infinite possibilities brought by magic industrialization!
MD, in the future, I will no longer have to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, to satisfy your majesty's war-mad military needs!
Looking at her expression, the Queen of Eternal Night couldn't help but smile, "Angelina, take your time, magic will only bring you more miracles."
She pondered that some large-scale alchemy tools could be regarded as the prerequisite technology for human-controlled golems.
This shows that we are one step closer to the debut of our Golem Legion!
After negotiating this matter, the Queen of Eternal Night teleported back to Fenglingyue Shadow Palace.
After discovering the rebels and thieves and calling the Jungian order to stop the chaos, it is time to go back and arrange an urgent list.
After waiting for the queen to leave, Angelina still couldn't come back to her senses and she said to Roger doubtfully, "Not only do you feel different to me, Her Majesty... it seems like she's different too?"
Roger nodded, "I can only agree."
Angelina immediately grabbed his ear, "This has something to do with you? What did you do and say to Her Majesty?"
The former Queen of Eternal Night would not go to her courtier's house late at night just to eat dessert.
Well, even if it was actually for dessert, she would use an official business as an excuse, and she would never say it outright for the sake of her appetite.
Not only was she dying to save face, but she was also trying to maintain the image of a textbook-level iron-blooded queen.
But now the queen is still working hard and diligently, but the subtle changes make Angelina, who is very familiar with her, feel the difference.
It seems that a layer of restraint has been untied, and the mood and burden that she has been suppressing have relaxed a lot, just a little...
Do whatever you want?
She is no longer the symbol called "the queen", but she gives off the feeling of being a person?
Angelina couldn't tell what feeling the Queen of Eternal Night gave her just now.
Roger hurriedly held her hand and shouted aggrievedly, "Sister, take it easy, I won't take the blame. It was those nobles in the south who wanted to defect to the church and hurt Her Majesty's heart. I comforted her, you don't know how scary the scene was at that time, Her Majesty was going to hurt me, an innocent passerby."
"They not only hoarded food but also dared to defect to the church? Had I been there, I would have order them to be slaughtered on the spot!" Angelina was instantly filled with righteous indignation.
No matter how kind she is, she still can tell who's an enemy and who's a friend.
She is also a prime minister who reached her position during the war years, so she would never be reluctant to make a move.
"Who said no, those people are too chilling for Her Majesty." Roger slapped his thigh and recounted the scene to Angelina.
Of course, he didn't dare to say all the words that he said to enlighten the Queen of Eternal Night.
In this era, those thoughts are very outrageous, and even my sister will not understand.
At that time, Roger felt the murderous intention of the Queen of Eternal Night. To save his life, he expanded and adapted a hymn written by a senior leader into a short essay to the Queen of Eternal Night with full marks.
The core of it was, Queen of Eternal Night, you have done enough for the empire and you no longer owe the empire anything.
Even if you don't wear a crown, don't bear its weight, we still love you!
The bloody treasure flies bravely, and the all-encompassing mother will always be with you!
Roger didn't feel anything after reading it.
But after everything that happened, he learned about the past of the Queen of Eternal Night, and knew that she only wanted to be a "Little person" and also had a girl's dream.
Not only is she arrogant, but she is also very greedy. This kind of attitude is different from a ruthless queen who has absolutely no desire.
But for various reasons, she was chosen to lead a country on the verge of collapse to become the strongest in the world.
Hundreds of millions of people support and respect her, but how many understand her?
Was she born to give everything for the empire?
It is true that the queen also enjoys the beauty given by the country but, if quantified, will the steps taken by the queen make the country progress enough to repay her?
This is a question that modern leaders often debate.
And Roger thought that she would fight to the last drop of blood under the pressure of the Seven Gods in the future. Apart from a very small number of ignorant loyalists, the rest of the empire was just a group of ignorant people who didn't understand her at all...
When the empress was mad, they were madder than anyone else. When the empress failed, they ran faster than anyone else. By the way, they kept scolding the Queen of Eternal Night.
Because her name only has four characters, only five characters...
It seemed that something strange had gotten in.
Therefore, Roger would occasionally feel sorry for this bloody empress.
Although it was to get rid of his death crisis, after hearing what he said, the Queen of Eternal Night seemed to have put down some burdens and become more real and more self-contained, and Roger was also happy for her.
Perhaps the Queen of Eternal Night will still fail, but at least this time she will not be trapped by the morality of the imperial people who cling to her and she'll fight to the end by her own will.
When she fails like this, she won't blame herself as deeply as the one in the CG, consciously dragging down the empire...
But this empire is not worthy of a queen who surpasses the times!
"I see... I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing." Angelina looked complicated.
She could feel that her best friend had less burdens on her shoulders.
But whether this is good or bad for the empire, she has no way of knowing.
Everyone's position is different, and there will always be differences in the way they look at things.
Roger didn't talk any further, and smiled, "Sister, go to sleep, I still have some official business, and I need to go back to the ice room to deal with it."
"Why do you work so hard?"
"Everything is for the empire."
"Come on, stinky brother!"
Angelina tiptoed to kiss his forehead and went back to the bedroom.
She would not persuade her brother to cherish his body, but would only be pleased that he served the country.
As for Roger's work...
Didn't he ask little Joey to wait for him in her room to reward him?
Men have to keep their word.
I don't know how Angelina would feel if she found out that her brother was in the manor given by Her Majesty, in the name of overtime, doing some sports with another woman that Her Majesty didn't want to see, hey...
