Winter has passed and spring has come, and it’s the season of renewal for all things.
The annual spring sowing celebration is approaching, and the streets of the imperial capital are decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and there is an atmosphere of joy and celebration everywhere.
However, in the palace in the central area, two pieces of bad news came one after another, weighing heavily on the heart of the current emperor of the empire, "Morte Sol Argestas", like a huge stone falling from the sky.
the first thing.
According to reports from secret agents on the border, a mysterious figure who calls himself "Night Dire" has founded a country in the bitter cold land of snowy fields outside the northern border of the empire. Currently, it has integrated the three tribes of Headhunter Rabbit, Harpy, and Winged Man, as well as a few small tribes of other races.
There are also dependents, and the total population has exceeded 200,000.
The second thing.
Because the doctor "Kurokawa Moli" of the Japanese army was abducted in the imperial capital, Japanese envoys have entered the palace many times to negotiate, asking the empire to rescue her as soon as possible, otherwise the Japanese army will go to the northern snowfields to negotiate with the new king in person.
Well, these two things actually boil down to the same thing.
What gave Emperor "Morte" a headache was not the 200,000 people of the demi-human country that stood tall as a monkey. It didn't even have the population of a single territory in the empire. Moreover, it was the business in a bitter cold land like the snowy plains of the north where there was a lack of food and clothing.
If the roads are blocked for half a year or a year, this small country will automatically fall apart.
But the trouble was the kidnapped female doctor from the team.
"Morte" has been in power since he was in his twenties, and it has been nearly thirty years now. He has been scheming with the group of nobles in the Senate all day long, and he has an extremely clear view of political affairs and people's hearts.
How could he not know what the seemingly harmonious Japanese envoys were thinking behind the scenes?
Once the other party is brought into contact with the northern demi-human puppet country, the nature of the whole matter is likely to change from the internal affairs of the empire to the diplomacy of two peer countries.
A useful bargaining chip used to threaten the empire.
Therefore, the only solution for now is not to give the two the chance to come into contact, and for the empire to send troops to the northern snowfields to eradicate the hidden danger of the demihuman puppet country in one fell swoop.
As for whether the female doctor named "Kurokawa Jasmine" would die as a result, the emperor "Morte" did not consider it.
In fact, whether it is the empire or the Japanese country, everyone knows very well that this hostage incident is just a cold-blooded game of straight words, and the life and death of the parties involved is not actually important.
What matters is just the excuse.
However, the empire is not the emperor's word. Especially matters such as attacking disloyal ministers must be discussed and approved by the Senate before sending troops.
At the Senate meeting the next day, the proposal to conquer the northern snowfields met with strong opposition from the nobles.
"Your Majesty, in the past, a demi-human puppet country of 200,000 people could be conquered by just sending an army of vassal states. However, in the battle of "Arnus Hill" last year, 300,000 coalition troops of vassal states were defeated.
The entire army was wiped out, and the empire also lost nearly 100,000 elite troops on the other side of the "gate". The border guards are already stretched thin, and they really can't spare any extra troops!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice! Even if the empire can barely squeeze out some more troops, the lack of generals is still a big problem! In the battle of "Arnus Hill", almost all the famous generals of the empire were killed, and those who survived were mostly disabled.
, I can no longer lead troops to fight!"
I don’t know since when, the Senate seems to have developed a culture of confronting the emperor. No matter whether it is a big or small matter, it seems that it cannot show its loyalty to the empire without rebuking the emperor.
If you can just happen to anger the emperor and receive some punishment, that would be even more extraordinary. It can become the real capital for these nobles to brag about for a lifetime.
Emperor "Morte" certainly knew that many of these old guys were opposed purely for the sake of opposition, but this time he had to admit that troop strength and generals were indeed two unavoidable problems.
"Both problems are easily solved."
A sudden sound came from the entrance of the Senate. A young man with long orange hair, slender and handsome, opened the door and walked into the venue alone.
"Oh? It turns out to be His Highness the Second Prince "Jia Bo", do you have any good ideas?" A senatorial nobleman who had just raised objections was full of yin and yang, thinking that the other party was standing up for his father.
The second prince "Jiabo" bowed to the emperor "Morte" who was sitting at the top. After receiving permission, he walked up to the central podium of the circular venue and said loudly: "As we all know, the demi-humans are just a group of uncivilized barbaric races.
Fighting depends entirely on personal bravery. Once encountering the regular army of the empire, it is often collapsed..."
"Your Highness, the Second Prince, we all understand what you are saying, but the problem is that now we have no extra regular troops available."
"Please listen to what I have to say, thank you." Compared with the irritable eldest prince "Soshar", the second prince "Jia Bo" has very good personal cultivation and did not show any dissatisfaction because his speech was interrupted midway.
He smiled and said: "What I mean is, since the Naya puppet country is just a group of tribal barbarians, why do they have to send out the regular army of the empire to carry out a crusade? Is it just for the sake of conquering unsubordinates in the name of righteousness?"
Why?
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone in the Senate suddenly lit up, and their limited thinking immediately broadened.
"Your Highness the Second Prince, you mean...those adventurers?"
"Yes, they are those adventurers who drink, fight and make trouble in the imperial capital all day long." The second prince "Jia Bo" took out a roll of parchment from his arms, shook out the tether and showed it to everyone in the Senate, "I have
The "Agbachi Warriors Guild" has negotiated terms. As long as they pay 1 million gold coins, they are willing to go to the northern snowfields for the empire to conquer the Naya puppet country and bring back the head of the puppet king named "Night Dire".
With Your Majesty."
There were low exclamations among the seats in the Elders' House, and some people even asked directly: "Is the "Agbachi Warriors Guild" the adventurers' guild that is said to have more than 8,000 members and is known as the strongest in the imperial capital?
"
The second prince "Jiabo" dedicated the contract to his father "Morte" with both hands, turned around and smiled and said: "Yes, but my lord, your news is obviously out of date. The finals of the Adventurer Tournament held yesterday
On the Internet, guild member "Peter Greer" won the championship in one fell swoop and won the title of "The Strongest Man on the Surface". The "Agbachi Warrior Guild" to which he belonged also became famous and expanded again. Now it has reached the level stipulated by the empire.
The maximum limit is 10,000 people.”
"Oh? Is that the adventurer "Peter Greer" whose strength is said to be equal to that of all the brave men of all time? I've heard of his name."
Emperor "Morte" also chimed in jokingly, with a faint smile on his lips.
"It is an honor for Peter Greer to be known by my father." The second prince "Jia Bo" saluted the elders again, "I also ask you all to make a decision as soon as possible, because according to rumors, that
After "Peter Greer" won the tournament championship, he has successfully proposed to "Luviria Sanctus", the daughter of the president of his union, and the wedding is expected to be held in the near future."
After everyone in the Senate discussed among themselves for a moment, they raised their right hands in agreement one after another.
The emperor "Morte" nodded approvingly to the second prince "Jiabo", stood up from his seat in high spirits, waved his hand and said: "Then it's decided! Allocate one million gold coins from the treasury to hire "Yagbachi"
"The Warriors Guild" went to the northern snowy plains to crusade against the demi-human puppet country! In addition, according to my decree, I asked that "Peter Greer" to be patient and wait until he comes back from the war before getting married. At that time, I will personally solemnize the wedding for him!"
Asking for votes, I have a headache today, and this is all I have... Regarding this "strongest man on the face of the earth" with a mental resistance of 0, I suggest that good children should not read it, but should read it with criticism if they want to read it.
