Chapter 366 Sudden Incident
Irina did not directly answer Ambassador Wang’s inquiry, but just said: “The Mentoje family used to be the backbone of the empire. They led the army to conquer the entire Stuttgart. Jia Dalu is one of the capable men of the first Emperor Mavia..."
"So are they being reused by Her Majesty the Queen now?"
Wang Haiqi asked with a chuckle. When Irina shook her head slightly, he stood up immediately: "I understand."
"They are the old aristocrats of the empire, and they did not make any dissatisfaction during the whole process of my ascension to the throne. …”
Irina still seemed a little undecided.
Wang Haiqi said with a half-smile: "But they didn't express their support for your ascension to the throne, right? When Duke Rono rebelled, they were probably on the side of the Duke."
"As expected of the old nobles of the empire, they are proficient in the skills of standing in line. No matter how the empire changes, they can always stand firm."
Queen Irina stared at Wang Haiqi. After a few seconds, he immediately said: "Ambassador Wang, if you have something to say, you may as well say it directly."
"After the association's merger plan is finalized, we will definitely implement it in accordance with the plan. It may have been discussed at the beginning Come, if everything goes well, we will compensate the merged area according to a certain proportion, or give them the right to use the houses in Nanjin New City..."
Wang Haiqi said in a deep voice: "Of course there are unsatisfactory situations - such as encountering those so-called old nobles you just mentioned."
"If the situation is too bad, we will also choose to use some special "
Queen Irina was silent for a few seconds. She knew very well how powerful the association's methods were. If she really wanted to turn against her, she would not say anything about the old noble Mentoje family. Well, the entire Coman Empire will be wiped out in an instant!
"I will send someone to handle these matters."
Irina said to Ambassador Wang: "When will the plan be officially announced?"
"About the next week."
Irina nodded, and immediately spoke to Ambassador Wang: "Just in case, I need to mobilize part of the Imperial Legion to prepare for battle - the Mentoje Family I have always raised a lot of private soldiers. Due to the status of the old nobles and their taxes, I have always turned a blind eye and not raised any objections since I came to the throne."
" Do you need help from the outpost?”
“This is an internal matter within the empire, so I won’t bother you.”
Ambassador Wang was about to leave, but was called out by Queen Irina again. Live: "In a few days I will go to a nearby military camp for a review. I hope the outpost can send a delegation then. At least those guys have also been trained by you."
"I have taken note of it, Her Majesty the Queen."
Ambassador Wang nodded slightly, "I will inform the base about this when I get back."
"Then I'll trouble the Ambassador."
“You are too polite.”
Looking at Ambassador Wang’s leaving figure, the expression of Queen Irina, who had been smiling, gradually turned cold.
She knew very well what the Outpost wanted to do. The merger and increase in production were all to obtain more resources on the Stuttgar continent. Although the Outpost promised that the commission points to the Empire would also increase accordingly, she could Queen Irina was still quite resistant to this in her heart.
After all, more than 90% of the mines developed at the outpost at this time were once exclusive to the Coman Empire!
In order to expel the orcs and reunify the entire Coman Empire as soon as possible, the princess Irina resolutely signed relevant treaties with the outpost. Looking at the contents of these treaties now, It was somewhat outrageous, but the situation was urgent at that time. Irina even believed that if strong foreign aid did not come in, the empire would be destroyed in an instant...
Right now, with the help of the power of the outpost, Irina successfully grasped the highest power of the Coman Empire and ascended to the position that countless Coman people dreamed of. She also had to implement the contents of the treaty in an orderly manner.
The outpost is too powerful, so powerful that all the people in the Coman Empire feel suffocated!
If she suddenly turns her back and refuses to acknowledge the contents of the previously signed treaty, she may be directly expelled from the throne in the next second, and then the outpost will find an "easy to control" descendant of the Mavia royal family to take over.
Thinking of this, Irina smiled bitterly.
She walked slowly back to her throne. This position seemed to be beautiful, but in fact the pressure she had to bear was multifaceted and huge. She needed to coordinate the relationship between the empire and the association. This The middle position is thankless, and both sides may not be satisfied.
The Coman Empire is now in a difficult stage of recovery. The population is withering and everything is in ruins. If there is another major war or change, I am afraid that the entire empire will not be able to support it.
After the outpost appeared, apart from having a great interest in the land and mineral resources on the Stuttgar continent, it almost never directly intervened in the internal affairs of the empire. Irina sent people every time If you go and ask him, some personnel from the outpost will come to provide key assistance.
Thinking of this, the expression on Irina's face became much more relaxed.
Although the outpost is like a sharp sword hanging above their heads, at least this sword will help them kill the enemy when they need it. Normally, they can get enough by relying on the power of the sword. interests.
For example, after arriving at the outpost, it was easy to do what generations of rulers of the Coman Empire had been unable to do - feed everyone.
The outpost does not do anything fancy. They improve the crops grown in the fields and use their cutting-edge technology to make exclusive improvements to each piece of land. This allowed the Coman Empire to have a bumper harvest in the previous year and the empire was established. This is the first time in hundreds of years that such a quantity of food has been obtained!
Not to mention the improved vegetables and fruits brought by the arrival of the advance outpost, various industrial products and innovative technologies...
‘It’s not unacceptable if we get along with each other as we are now. '
The Queen sat on a chair in the palace and murmured softly. The origin of the outpost was quite mysterious. She only knew that it came out of the Forest of Forgotten. The huge building complex was hidden in In the Forgotten Forest, a natural barrier, a paradise-like place...
At this moment, an intelligence officer came in from the outside, and the guards stopped him. A guard came to report the situation, and then Irina After coming back to his senses, he motioned for the intelligence officer to come in.
"Your Majesty."
The intelligence officer knelt down on one knee towards Queen Irina, and immediately heard the Queen's voice: "Have you finished what I asked you to do?"
"The humble duties have been completed, and according to His Majesty's request, I have also left people in those places to spy on information. Those key personnel are also under our close surveillance."
"You have done a great job. Okay."
Irina said in a deep voice, "I need accurate news to be delivered throughout the day. Next, you will be responsible for the delivery of this kind of news. What do those old guys do every day? I want to know exactly what I ate.”
“Yes!”
She waved her hand to the intelligence officer below, who immediately bowed and evacuated. There was no hesitation. Irina waved to the attendant not far away again. The attendant immediately knelt down on one knee and listened carefully to Her Majesty the Queen's oral message.
After speaking for a while, the attendant immediately stood up and left, and Irina breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, when are we going to the military camp?"
The senior attendant responsible for arranging the itinerary asked timely. The queen waved her hand casually and said: "Look Let's make arrangements. When the time comes, we will go with the delegations from the outpost, and we need to ask them if they have time."
The attendant was stunned for a moment, and then nodded meaningfully, that's okay. I won’t get to the bottom of this matter anymore.
...
The news that Queen Irina was going to the military camp to review the legion's training results soon spread throughout the royal capital, and the training at the military camp became increasingly tense.
Irina also quickly received a receipt message from the outpost, and finally set the review time for tomorrow afternoon.
The time came in a blink of an eye, and the outpost sent a delegation of six people plus three senior officers. All six people were wearing the latest upgraded power armor, but the three senior legionnaires in the delegation They were all just wearing regular military uniforms.
The leader of the group was a senior colonel, and his deputies were a lieutenant colonel and a major, which gave Irina enough face.
Irina greeted everyone in the delegation enthusiastically, and then they got on the minibus heading to King Selia City.
The members of the delegation are actually very unfamiliar to Irina. It is said that the members of the delegation who were familiar with her before were all pulled back to rotate their duties. After a while, Irina found a familiar outpost. The people in the base have been rotated, making it almost impossible for her to obtain more information through building relationships...
The military camp is located in the northwest corner of Selia City. Chen Lin had seen this location in another city before. When I passed the Feilong breeding site, the smell was really unpleasant.
Selia City itself also has a flying dragon breeding place. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the flying dragon cavalry, all major cities with conditions had this thing.
However, the situation has been greatly improved now. After the planning and reconstruction of Selia City, the original breeding grounds were moved to the periphery, and the area was re-expanded and modified into pure military training. site.
As soon as everyone got off the minibus, a group of soldiers from the Coman Empire rushed over. They ignored the warnings of the soldiers in the delegation and stood around them.
“What is this?”
The colonel in the delegation raised his hand to signal the soldiers behind him not to shoot rashly. He asked Irina: “What is this? Worrying about our safety, you also provide bodyguards?”
Irina also looked a little angry at this time. She gave the person next to her a look, and the person immediately ran away towards a few people in the distance. After passing by, the soldiers surrounding them quickly withdrew...
"This is considered a special protection given by them, but I think it is quite stupid to do so."
Irina helplessly explained to the delegation. Several people in the delegation didn't care at all. They just smiled and said: "We have our own people to protect, so we don't need your people."
"That's true."
Irina waved in the direction of the minibus, and immediately a group of people ran over from a distance - they were the guards she personally selected The regiment is all female, numbering around fifty, and is equipped with special equipment purchased from the outpost, such as carbon steel weapons, stab-proof clothing, bulletproof shields and other high-end goods.
“Let’s go.”
Looking at Irina surrounded by people, the delegation suddenly had a helpless thought - they were a little too nervous. , shouldn’t the soldiers in these legions be our own talents, right?
Why does Irina always feel like she is guarding against these people!
However, they did not ask this question directly, they just followed the crowd towards the military camp.
"Something's wrong... Where is the person who is hosting us?"
Everyone followed Irina for a while, and suddenly noticed this. The wave just now After the people withdrew, no one came to receive them!
This is the ruler of the empire, Her Majesty Queen Irina, who is here in person. Logically speaking, everyone in the legion should be directly gathered to welcome him!
"The situation is not quite right."
"Be alert!"
With the major officer's low shout, the six power armor warriors behind him immediately entered combat mode, and they quickly lowered their voices. The body spread out in all directions, and the electromagnetic weapon in his hand quickly began to charge energy.
"The military camp is a bit weirdly quiet. No matter how busy it is, it will never be so quiet...Don't they train or train?"
Irina also frowned slightly, her intuition Telling himself that there must be a problem in some link, the people around him immediately prepared to go to the front to inquire about the situation. However, before they walked out, they noticed an empire general running out in a hurry with a few soldiers in the distance.
As he ran, he said apologetically to the Queen: "I'm so sorry, Your Majesty, the training camp is at a critical moment. We really can't escape here. The personnel have been gathered now and are waiting for you to come in person. "
Irina recognized that this general was called Ferrico. He was promoted from behind and controlled half of the legion, about 10,000 people.
“Why are you here?”
She stared at Felico and said suspiciously: “Where is the commander-in-chief of the royal capital? I came here in person, but the commander-in-chief didn’t even show up. Come in person, but let a young general like you come to receive you?”
At this time, Ferrico was nervously showing his kindness to the delegation, and he looked towards the delegation with an innocent smile. The senior colonel officer in front stretched out his hand and introduced himself by name. Several power armor soldiers who were on alert were also asked to put down their firearms and return to their respective groups to stand at the back.
But before the colonel smiled and stretched out his hand to shake his hand, he saw the guy with an innocent smile in front of him suddenly raised his hand.
He lowered his head in surprise and saw that the left side of his chest was directly pierced - it was a hidden blade, one of the weapons commonly used for assassinations in the Coman Empire.
"Everyone in the outpost deserves death!"
Ferico suddenly raised his left hand, violently preparing to attack the lieutenant colonel next to him, but the long-lost gunfire was the first When it rang out, his entire body was blasted to pieces with one shot!
The next second, the soldiers behind Felico seemed to smell the smell of blood. They each pulled out weapons and blades from under their clothes, and attacked Irina and the delegation like crazy. Come over here!
The situation changes suddenly!
