Chapter 111 Countermeasures

4days ago Xuanhuan Novels 3
Another lord meeting, which was quite hasty, was held as scheduled. The majestic and magnificent meeting hall in the inner city of the Imperial Palace of the Sorafa capital, once again gathered the most powerful group of people in the Northern Empire.

Compared with a few years ago, the biggest difference is that among the western nobles, the most loyal and patriotic, and a model of knights, Bruno, the Count of Limestone Fort, has been replaced by Marshal Ishasanadale, the Western leader who now dominates the entire western part of the empire and is afraid of all parties.

On the huge flags behind the throne covered with the emblems of the major nobles, the solemn and arrogant wind wolf emblem, which was originally inconspicuous, has now become one of the four nobles supporting the wings of the royal family's monster bird emblem, the three-headed demon dog emblem with a terrifying and weird shape.

The female nobleman with long blood-red hair on the seat was as eye-catching as her prominent position.

That pretty face that is even more charming and delicate than Princess Riat of the Ibis Empire, known as the No. 1 beauty in the mainland. With the hot body curve that cannot be concealed even by a slim military uniform and fur cloak, it is like the bright moon in the cloudless night sky that makes people involuntarily bet on it.

However, Istansha, who is different from the past, is not the existence that the male noble lords can play with. She smiled and enjoyed the complex eyes of everyone that were concealed and mixed with desire and fear, and couldn't help but feel a little full of ambition in her heart.

Now that she is in power, she finally knows why humans are so crazy about power and wealth. These original sins are so wonderful, and they are indeed worthy of being crazy about by the world.

When she deliberately walked into the hall later than all the nobles present, the audience, which was noisy, calmed down in an instant. Then the noble lords who had always been above the top lowered their proud heads and saluted respectfully to the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Army and the Duke of the Western Leader. The Marquis Ulaquette, who had once taken away the power of the brothel, had to salute the boss according to the rules of the army before they could greet the old days. Even Prime Minister Jeff, Duke Panda, and Duke Anne, who were the four major dukes, stood up and nodded to express their respect to the Western Leader.

In addition to bowing slightly to the other three grand dukes to show their favor, Istansha just waved his hands to show that there was no need to be too polite to other nobles.

Another concrete manifestation of the benefits of power is that her arrogant move, which is obviously more suspicious than others, represents the majesty of the Grand Duke and the Imperial Marshal in the eyes of the nobles. It is a natural act, and no one dares to feel resentful.

But if it were when she was still a prostitute, no matter how obedient and humble Istansha was, any action she would have been regarded as an irrespectful act by the nobles, as a contempt for their noble status, thus becoming an excuse for them to abuse and abuse the Demon King.

Istansha slowly glanced at the hall with her narrow eyes. Suddenly she frowned and pointed at a middle-aged nobleman who was sitting behind the Marquis of Uraquette with a pale face and said: You, yes, don't look, I'm talking about you, Viscount Vieira, come here.

The named lord immediately stood up, walked to Istanza with a blank face, bent down again, held the white and tender hands of the red-haired lady with both hands, and kissed the heraldic ring on the little finger of the Western Leader Duke respectfully and gently, then asked with a flattery and careful voice: The most beautiful lady in the world, the invincible Marshal, what are you asking?

What's going on with the injury on your arm?I remember you are a magician. Even if you go to the battlefield, you are always behind the guards. How could you be so seriously injured?Istanza pulled the bandage wrapped around the viscount's right arm with her hands, and asked in a bad tone at the hideous wound that was visible to the bone.

At this moment, Emperor Notsk, who looked younger and younger, wore a golden fang-shaped crown, a dark brown luxurious robe embellished with complex golden silk patterns, and walked into the hall with a big bear fur cloak with spring breeze.

Behind him was the crown prince Sauron, dressed in armor and military uniform, and the Marquis Safina, who had just been moistened not long ago and had completely faded between his eyebrows and eyes.

The emperor first pressed his hands to let everyone sit down, and then walked straight to Istanza and asked: What's wrong, my beauty, what happened to Viscount Vieira?Although the North did not pay much attention to red tape, it was also the supremacy of imperial power. Viscount Vieira did not dare to cover up his words, and could only tell the story of his own insulting the army to escort the front line and was injured when he was attacked by rebels when he was attacked by rebels.

What is noticeable is that during the attack, he was injured by several high-level thieves. After repelling the attackers and leaving several lives on the other side, he found that these thieves were all hired and specifically targeted him, not just a simple act of the rebels attacking the supply line.

Hearing this, even Emperor Notsk, who had always been a good temper, was a little furious. He pointed to the Marquis of Ulaquette next to him and shouted: Didn’t you say that there were only ordinary indigenous rebellions in the southern territory!?If it were just a group of mobs and a group of untiety, how could anyone afford gold coins to hire assassins from the Thieves Guild to openly attack senior generals of the Imperial Army??

Even Istansha, who had always been with Uraquet, put it on the old emperor's arm as soon as possible to comfort him in time, turned around and asked in a confusing tone: The Rotoks had just experienced heavy failures and suffered huge losses in military and economic losses. Even if they were eager to restore their national strength, they would not be able to pay for the peasant rebels who were destined to be unable to become a climate.

Moreover, Simon, the president of the Thieves Guild, died in the Eastern Realm. They were at the time when there were no leaders. Before the new president was elected, it was unlikely that an organization would be organized to provoke a powerful empire.

Obviously, someone is spending money to hire thieves to work hard. Who is behind the scenes supporting those rebels?The nobles were talking about it. Now Rotok is not in charge. Although the Ibis Empire is rich and powerful, if it were their actions, Princess Riat and Grand Duke Tirami would not have traveled thousands of miles to the capital to meet the emperor.

So, who dared to make these small moves openly to provoke the majesty of the empire after the Sorafa Empire defeated the two powerful countries Rotok and Kuvia one after another?

Marquis Ulaquette and Duke Panda, who also got up from his chair and walked here, looked at each other, took out a bag of gold coins from his arms and threw them on the long table in front of Istanza's seat.

This was found from the dead body, and this is also one of the main reasons why Lord Panda and I asked to hold this meeting.General Uraquette, who had a few more white hairs on his temples due to the delay of the war, said with a pale face.

He is a fearless brave general on the battlefield, but when faced with such straggling attacks and conspiracies, he will most of the time be stretched.

Istansha picked up a gold coin from the bag and looked at it, frowned even tighter, and seemed to be enduring the anger and handing the gold coin to the old emperor again.

This is a gold coin with different patterns from the Rotok Mountain Fox Emblem gold coin or the Ibis Griffin Emblem coin. On the front is a beautifully carved balance, while on the back are densely arranged with stars shining figures.

Neutral Trade Federation!Who gave them the courage to provoke the great Sorafa Empire!The old emperor's roar resounded throughout the hall.

Even Prime Minister Jeff shook his head after looking through the gold coins in the bag, and said with an incredible expression: These clowns used to be just standing behind Ibis and Rotok, but they didn't expect that they are so bold that they are doing these small moves to us directly... It's really incredible. Are they not afraid of the empire's revenge?

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Now we are in control of the plains on the west bank of the Zulu River, and the empire has a cold relationship with the neutral trade alliances from the east coast to the coastline, which has caused their income to be greatly reduced, so these small countries naturally cannot sit still.

Only by letting us be frustrated by the rebellion and finally having to return our territory to Rotok, or letting the territorial autonomy of the territory on the west bank of the Zulu River will this wealthy trade route be restored again.

The words of the Duchess of the Western Region immediately gave the emperor and the nobles a feeling of clearing the sky. Everyone lamented that this woman is indeed worthy of her resourceful reputation and could think of the key to the problem before others in an instant.

So, since we know who is the one who is playing tricks behind us, how can we cut off the hands that come out and quickly quell the rebellion on the new territory?The old emperor secretly pinched Istanza's plump buttocks and calmed down, then slowly walked back to the throne, and asked Jeff, Istanza and other pillars of the empire.

The cunning emperor was well versed in the ways of emperors and understood that this was actually a very difficult problem. Not to mention that the countries of the neutral alliance have always been under Ibis' protection, which made Sorafa not have any way to start for many years, the national riots and rebellions that were not led by the imperial people could not be simply put down.

So the emperor immediately kicked the ball out witty. Anyway, if things are not handled well, it will be the incompetence of the people below, and it has nothing to do with him as the leader.

For a time, the noble lords in the hall, including Duke Panda and Marquis Ulaquette, all turned their attention to Istansha, the great marshal of the imperial army, while civil servants sent nobles to look at Duke Jeff, the first prime minister of the empire, the head of civil officials.

The hall of the Supreme Council of the Empire was silent, but clearly distinct.

Duke Jeff's elegant and gentle face still smiled. He turned around and walked back to his table to fill two glasses of expensive amber honey wine, and handed it to Istansha with his own hands. He touched the glass with a gentle and graceful gesture with the beauty in front of him and nodded and sipped the wine. He signaled the lady to give priority.

The only one who made the blame so naturally and elegantly in front of everyone was probably the only one who had a good appearance.

The Great Demon King stared at Jeff with a constipated expression, analyzing in his heart how this man who looked weak in front of him could be so shameless.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, she drank the wine in her hand, placed the cup heavily on the table, turned around and shouted to the emperor: I suggest to fight against foreign countries first and then settle the country, mobilize the army immediately, and eliminate the countries of the neutral alliance in one fell swoop!

puff!Cough cough cough cough cough cough... Prime Minister Jeff, who had just successfully passed the blame to Istansha, and was waiting for the woman to be in a dilemma while tasting the wine, was directly choked into his throat by the other party's simple and rough brainless speech.

OK!I actually wanted to do this a long time ago!It’s worthy of being my Isabao…well, it’s worthy of our Isamar!Unlike the nobles who looked at Istansha like a madman in the hall, the Marquis of Ulaquette, who was simple-minded and fierce and warlike, immediately applauded and expressed support for the proposal to start the war.

Duke Panda, who was quite mature and steadfast in military and national affairs, also stood up to question Istansha's very irrational war proposal: Marshal, the countries of the neutral alliance have always maintained close trade with the Ibis Empire, so they have always been considered as protected by it. If we start a war with it rashly, we will be retaliated by the Ibis Empire. This cannot be changed by your shameful personal relationship with the Grand Duke Tirami.

Speaking of this, there was a burst of laughter in the hall. In fact, the little things that happened to Istansha when she was a prostitute in Agaric City were already well known in the Sorafa noble circle. Her businessman, the duo-married husband, also died in a duel with the brave man of heaven. These things that can be discovered with a little investigation are not a secret at all.

It's really ridiculous!When did you, the men of self-righteousness, have become less courageous to face the Ibis?If you are afraid of fighting with the Ibis Empire, why don’t you give up your territory here and go to the south now? Isn’t it great to be a rich man in the Ibis Empire for the rest of your life with the savings you have saved for many years?The female devil's face showed contempt and sarcastically said to the nobles who laughed at her.

Bastard!Who would be afraid of those cartilage-headed Ibis people!

We Sorafa men are fearless!Lord Duke, even you want to apologize for your just words!

You are insulting my dignity!

Madame Isa, I, I will fight with you to defend my honor! ...

The nobles in the hall roared in anger. The men of the Northern Empire, who had always been rude and arrogant, could not stand being questioned about their courage, especially when the other party was still a woman.

Since you are not afraid, why are you afraid of going to war with the Free Alliance?Istansha asked with a chuckling.

This question made the passionate emotions in the hall as if they were choked and quickly calmed down. No matter how irritable the nobles were, they would not be so hot that they would devote their financial resources and soldiers to a war where they could not see any chance of victory.

Prime Minister Jeff finally could no longer sit and watch Istansha push her absurd and completely unrealistic war proposal, so he could only frown at the red-haired woman who was even more outstanding and dazzling even though she was pointed at by thousands of people, and explained calmly: Marshal, you must know that although you may not have the amazing brilliant military achievements you have, none of them are cowards.

If the Ibis really dared to invade the empire's territory, we would drag the invaders to hell together even if we shed the last drop of blood!

But when everything still has room for reversal, it is meaningless to easily launch a war that is destined to be difficult to see hope. We cannot let those brave soldiers die in vain.

I think it is very unwise to show off Yang Wei's courage but lose his long last.

Jeff's words immediately resonated with the nobles, and they began to echo the Chief Lord's move to relieve all their embarrassment and shame.

The explanation of these is not a matter of courage, but a matter of not being able to fight rashly in the overall national situation.

Istansha sighed in her heart that she is worthy of being the first prime minister of the empire. She is wise and outstanding and eloquent.

She squinted her eyes and swept through the hall and began to refute the nobles who used various principles to refute her proposals with Jeff. She suddenly pursed her lips and laughed out loud, then picked up the long sword beside her chair and slowly hit the tabletop.

The nobles stopped speaking their own words, waiting for Istansha's speech, and made up their minds that no matter what the other party said, they would follow Prime Minister Jeff's ideas and use great principles to persuade this crazy woman to give up those terrible radical ideas.

The female devil's hands overlapped on the hilt of the Frost Frost Sword, and finally stopped laughing: I am the marshal of the Imperial Army and a soldier, so I also lack consideration for the political issues mentioned by the Prime Minister, or the so-called end of the empire.In my mind, I only know that it is better to dominate the world like a lion than to live for a hundred years!

At this moment, the parliament hall was silent and the needle was heard. Everyone was shocked by the last words of the woman with a striking red hair.

The brave men like Prince Sauron and Marquis Ulaquette couldn't help but start to turn red with excitement. Even the calm and calm old emperor and Jeff could not help but silently recite this exciting speech in their hearts.

It is better to be a hero like a hero, and he will live for a hundred years than a sheep!The Marquis Ulaquette was the first to hit the table with a war hammer and repeated this inspiring words. Then the nobles picked up their weapons and slapped them and repeated them over and over again, gathering into rolling thunder echoing in the hall.

The court clerks immediately excitedly recorded this sentence in the book of the eternal passage. It is not difficult to imagine that the name of the Duke of the Western Leadership will spread throughout the continent again with her speech.

Emperor Notsk suppressed his ambitions that were hooked in his chest. After calming down his emotions, he finally slowly raised his right hand.

Prime Minister Jeff immediately shouted loudly: Quiet!His Majesty the Emperor has something to say!The lords and nobles stopped repeater mode and calmed down from their passion.

Everyone didn't know that because they were stormy because of the great demon king's extremely inflammatory words, they were all affected by the bloodthirsty effect of the evil aura leaked from the demon king, and became slightly out of control.

In addition to easily causing the world to collapse and break through the sky and break up with the fire, the evil power of the great devil Istansha is the real terrible thing that can deceive the mind and soul of the living beings and make everyone unable to guard against.

Duke Isa is worthy of being the female war god with the name of invincibility. Your words just now will be recorded in history forever.

However, now it is difficult to get the diplomatic relations with the Ibis Empire, so it is not a good time to start a war with the neutral alliance.

In the eyes of the empire, those miscellaneous clowns were nothing more than a group of jumping clowns, and they were vulnerable. If they wanted to deal with them, they did not need to mobilize a large army. They could easily wipe out the entire East Coast countries by just letting the army under Duke Panda attack.

The old emperor was not a monarch who could be easily influenced by others. He easily mentioned the war and satisfied the vanity of the nobles.

However, the emperor's words were not exaggerated. The Sorafa Empire, which had been fighting for years and had a strong military proficiency, was a first-class military power in the entire continent. Its strength was by no means something that the countries in the east bank of the Zulu River to the coastal areas could imagine that those countries with developed trade and prosperous economy were only imaginable.

The so-called "beating a dog depends on the owner". The reason why Sorafa has always been reluctant to the small actions of the East China National Alliance is completely afraid of the Ibis Empire behind it.

If it weren't for someone behind the scenes, the unique and abundant land under which the Neutral Alliance had occupied would have fallen into the hands of Sora Francis, who was jealous of it, and with the military strength of the Northern Empire, the countries in the East China Sea could be wiped out within a few days.

Speaking of this, the old emperor paused for a moment, pointed his finger at Istansha and said loudly: Okay, our main problem now is the mob rebellion in the southern territory. I want to know what my marshal can do about this.

Istansha felt secretly hated when she saw that the old emperor was not involved in the trap, but she still maintained a humble and gentle smile on her face. She bowed slightly and replied: I can send troops to help General Uraquette quell the rebellion, and there is no need to mobilize the troops of the leaders. The Western leader currently has more than 300,000 troops, including the alien coalition, which is enough to solve all problems.

Because those mobs were not Sora legal persons, it was difficult for them to truly submit to the imperial rule. Even if they could quell the rebellion for a while, when the army evacuated, they would immediately rebel again.

So I am going to mobilize the Orcs to quell this rebellion. The barbarians have no human nature and have no pity. They are the most suitable tools for slaughtering civilians. As long as all the Rotok lowly species are killed and replaced with our Sora legal person, I believe there will be no rebellion again.

The red-haired woman's hoarse and seductive voice calmly told the bloody proposal that made people feel cold behind her back. There were even a few noble lords in the hall who had just endured to the Zulu River Plain, who had just surrendered to the Sorafa Empire. After hearing this, they were already scared to the point of pale faces, and even trembled slightly.

no!Your Majesty, the Marshal's proposal is too cruel. If a matter of massacre of civilians is spread, it will be despised by the entire continent, and the peace agreement that has finally reached will be invalidated.Besides, the empire's reputation in the mainland was not very good, and it was compared to the incarnation of cruelty and rudeness by the countries. If we follow Lord Isha's method, we will no longer have any friends on the entire continent.Prime Minister Jeff was the first to stand up and objected loudly.

If Istansha really did it according to the method of Istansha, the reputation of the Sorafa Empire would definitely be completely destroyed, and I am afraid that it would face criticism from all countries on the continent.

Yes, this is not possible. Since the empire has occupied it, both the land and the people living there are also the people of the empire. If it is easily massacred, it will definitely be deemed... Isha, I believe in your wisdom, and think of a more appropriate way.

Of course, the emperor knew that this was inappropriate, but he did not intend to let Istansha go. He knew that this woman was resourceful and would definitely have a safer plan. It was just that the power struggle between Istansha and Jeff was in military and civilian power. Istansha did not want to do her best, but was trying to kick the ball to the other party.

Jeff is good at internal affairs and diplomacy, but he is not a good general in military affairs. This kind of dealing with uprisings and rebellions is obviously not what he is good at.

When asked, Istansha saw Xiaoxin being seen through by the emperor, she could only ponder and think. After thinking for a while, she suddenly walked to Duke Anne, the highland leader, looked up and down at the youthful aristocratic girl, a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and asked: Our beautiful Duke Anne of the Golden Tower Rose, I want to take the liberty to ask you, are you still a virgin?The hall was in an uproar. Unlike the Western Duke who was born as a prostitute and acted casually and frivolously, the Highland Duke Anne Nord was from an ancient family with a long history.

The Nord family ruled the highlands for hundreds of years. In addition to generations of talents, they also made everyone afraid of their research on mysterious techniques and dark magic.

As the direct daughter of the old Duke Nord, Duke Anne is one of the few dark sorcerers in the northern continent at a young age with his outstanding talent. In those simple and delicate little hands, I don’t know how many lives he sacrificed to summon extremely powerful demon creatures from the abyss of hell.

Although its family emblem is a garland woven by roses, the Demon Rose is the name behind the nobles' Highland Territory Nord family.

Everyone dares to make those jokes about Istansha, but no one dares to show any disrespect to Duke Anne. Hell and demons are always the taboo things that everyone is most reluctant to mention.

After Duke Anne was stunned for a few seconds, a seductive blush immediately appeared on Jiaoyan's face, and she said shamefully and annoyedly: Madam Isa, does this question have anything to do with the question His Majesty asked you?

It's okay, I just suddenly thought of a good idea.After saying that, Istansha twisted her butt, walked back to her position, and smiled at the emperor and suggested: Since Your Majesty is kind and does not want to kill too much, then we will find a way to turn the Rotoks in the southern territory into our species. Only by eliminating ethnic barriers can those leaders truly feel a sense of belonging to the empire.

So my solution is to implement the first night right bill of forced racial intermarriage in the southern territory, which means that any newly married couple of Rotok must spend the first night of their marriage with Sora.

This will make Rotok women pregnant with our Sorafa people. How can those Sorafa men, after tasting the taste of our Sorafa women, still be interested in partners with ordinary figures and appearances?

Anyway, the empire has more women and fewer men, and has a lot of beauties. Many poor women have been fighting for many years and cannot survive alone. It is better to give some rewards to encourage them to migrate to the southern territory to settle down.

This is a mandatory regulation. I will send some orcs and ogres to assist the Marquis of Ulaquette and the Southern Lords in implementing this bill, with the purpose of not killing, but deterring.

Of course, they will also be kind and powerful. If the Rotoks follow the bill or simply intermarry with Sora's legal person, they will not only not be punished, but will also receive preferential policies such as monetary rewards and tax exemptions.

I believe that as long as those Rotoks are not stupid, they will make wise choices before the rich benefits and the orc ogre fangs.

The words of the Great Demon King once again made everyone think. Although this method is incredible, it is simple and direct. It not only understands the magic of coercion and temptation, but also fits the actual situation of Sorafa.

In fact, Istansha had already thought about this method. She could see from Aqiya that Sorafa was in trouble with the internal friction between the nobles and other things, and the barren land caused a large number of orphans and widows. The difference in the ratio of men and women just corresponds to the situation where the Rotoks are more men and fewer women on the comfortable and fertile land in the south.

Although forced intermarriage does not sound too humane, it is of great benefit to the reproduction of the entire region at the end of the population. Moreover, the northern Sorafa Empire produces sexy beauties with fair skin, beautiful appearance, long breasts and thighs. Even the Rotoks who have always been incompatible with Sorafa, many nobles or rich people have been smuggling to buy Sorafa female slaves.

As long as the Rotok man can be pressed on the woman's belly, after tasting the sweetness, I believe that many people will not be bewitched and incited and will sacrifice their lives to join the rebellion again.

The emperor turned his attention to Jeff, who, after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, finally nodded slightly.

Duke Panda raised his hand and directly agreed to the proposal. Although Duke Anne was embarrassed that Istansha was staring at him when he came up with a solution. What he thought was obviously very unbearable, but he had to admit that this was indeed a simple and crude, but very feasible method, so he raised his little hand angrily.

The proposal was unanimously recognized by the nobles. The lords in the new southern territory even began to fantasize about the wonderful days of sleeping with the bride every day in the future. After breathing a sigh of relief, the original Rotok nobles began to stick to the Western, Highland, and Wasteland, and began to think about whether they could propose to the female nobles of Sorafa. Seeing that these were all sexy beauties that are rare in the world, the outstandingness of Sorafa’s beauty is definitely even more serious than the rumors.

In a harmonious atmosphere, Istansha was thinking: if women are assigned to southern territory, then men here will have fewer choices.

Then who can still refuse the temptation of the black elf beauty?, but the elves are difficult to nurture offspring... Well, it is time to find a way to pull the succubus tribe in my hometown into the human world. That is what can be said to be the disaster of the whole clan. As long as they are brought here, I believe that humans will never escape my palm~ Hehehehe...
