Chapter 967 Qili's Fate and Romulus' Turning Opportunity

Greta Mildern's status has skyrocketed in the past three years. Although she has never held a formal official position and is outside the imperial power system, everyone knows the title "Left of the Emperor" and everyone All served.

It was she who advocated more than three years ago that the empire should not continue to attack other countries, but should focus on consolidating the empire's existing territory, purging the church of will, and vigorously developing technology.While maintaining neutrality between the Red Federation and the Aurora Empire, take advantage of the situation of the two sides wrestling to absorb nutrition.

Under tremendous pressure, the emperor agreed to this proposal. At first, the military and political circles were outraged, and there was a great momentum to skin Greta and sink the river, or make it into a living ghost.However, the technology competition between the Red Federation and the Shuguang Empire was advancing with each passing day, which frightened these officials, and they wholeheartedly assisted the emperor and promoted the empire to practice internal skills.

Clean up the nobles of the old kingdom internally, reorganize the empire through the church of will, use arcanists to develop their own technology, and win the sub-dragons such as steel dragons to join the empire.A series of measures stabilized the empire,

Externally, the goal is no longer to capture neighboring countries, but to divide and disintegrate the surrounding "anti-will imperial alliance". Through diplomatic and economic means, it has won some vassal states and improved the external environment of the empire.

At the same time, the empire continued to support its citizens to participate in the Hell Commune and the Adventurer Commune. Although many elites were absorbed by these two communes, a considerable number of elites returned to the Empire, bringing back advanced technology and management experience for the Empire.

The relationship between the Empire of Will and the Temple of Commerce has also eased.The Empire allowed the Temple of Commerce to resume its daily business in the imperial capital and several other large cities. Although the circulation of gold pures was still prohibited, the scale of trade between the Empire and the Temple of Commerce was increasing day by day, and it was using gold bulls.

Enlisting the support of other neutral gods is also Greta's initiative and has made practical contributions.She persuaded the emperor to allow the Church of the Goddess of Life to participate in the Queen's coronation ceremony, and granted Queen Twins the status of "Saint of Life".

Taking this as an opportunity, the emperor promulgated the "Neutral Gods Act", declaring that within the empire, the churches of more than a dozen neutral gods, including the Goddess of Life, the Goddess of Nature, and the God of War, were legal churches, and at the same time completely separated the Church of Will from its predecessor Church of Tyranny Even the relationship with the god of tyranny, which also made the empire of will change from a chaotic and evil camp to a chaotic neutral at the god level.

Of course, in order to take care of the emotions and interests of the Arcanist and the Dragon Clan, magicians and other giant dragons other than the White Dragon, Black Dragon, Steel Dragon and other Dragon Clan are not allowed to perform public activities within the Empire of Will.

After more than three years of development, the territory of the Will Empire on the main plane is now seven or eight times that of the Chilian, and the population is twelve or three times that of the Chilian.Although it is still not as good as the Dawn Empire, it is no longer a weak existence that can only hug the Chilian for warmth.

Technically, the Empire of Will is naturally inferior to the Chilian, and there is a big gap compared with the magicians of the Dawn Empire, but it has already embarked on an independent development route and has an absolute advantage in Sifein.

During this period, not everything went smoothly for the Empire of Will.

The core puppet of the Arcanist will be fully absorbed by the empire, resulting in the power of the Arcanist without a leader, which caused a lot of troubles when it spread in the countries of Sifein, especially the most violent in the north.

It was Greta, as the emperor's special envoy, who mediated in the northern countries to settle the incident, and also supported the loyal vassal state of the Icewind Kingdom.

Northeast of Sifern, the conflict between the High United Emirates and the Highland Kingdoms has become an arena for the Red Federation and the Dawn Empire.It was also Greta who advocated the adoption of isolation measures and resolutely refrained from intervening, so that the empire was not involved in this vortex.

In short, Greta has made great contributions to stabilizing the external environment of the empire. The emperor granted her the detached status of "Chief Advisor", allowing her to have special authority over all subordinates, and no one raised any doubts.

The officials who can get in front of the emperor's seat, how can their eyesight be worse?
Merit is secondary, and the most important thing is that Greta and the queen are good girlfriends who can talk about everything.

Why was Curtins, who was called the "arms of the empire" with Callahan earlier, dismissed?Isn't that the idiot accusing the emperor of being too weak to the empress?

Of course, there are gossip that said that Curtins was demoted because he failed to complete the task assigned by the emperor.

Curtins once went to the Red Federation and asked a certain important person from the Red Federation to serve as an ambassador in the imperial capital, but was ruthlessly rejected by the other party.The emperor couldn't bear face and had to throw the pot to Ketings, saying that it was Ketings' personal opinion, not the emperor's.

In short, Greta's status in the Will Empire is extremely noble, and the title of nobility is only symbolic in the empire, but everyone feels that the title of "Duchess of Bauhinia" is well-deserved by Greta.

Greta opened the door to compliment the emperor for the officials, and the endless praises spewed out, turning the meeting into a platform for the emperor's praise.

Romulus stopped his officials: "Even if I am a man-god, my power still comes from the emperor, and from my belief in accomplishing my mission. To make such power work, I still have to rely on everyone's efforts. I can't let me fight every battle." Are you going to fight yourself?"

"I'm asking everyone... not only you, but also the majority of subjects, are you ready?"

Greta responded indifferently: "As long as His Majesty is determined, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome. Therefore, Your Majesty only needs to ask if you are ready."

Romulus winked at Greta helplessly. Didn't he just want to find confidence in his officials because he was not ready?
Greta's smile remained unchanged: "Your Majesty, Bishop Tolimbo once said that His Majesty is with the Empire. So whether you are ready or not is up to Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is hesitant, perhaps because he feels that he may not be able to see clearly, so His Majesty can still take a look at this empire. We officials are just a very small part of this empire, a small piece of dust within your power, and are not qualified to answer this problem."

Romulus smiled wryly. Ever since the Erxiang incident more than three years ago, Greta's tone has been like this, and she almost respects and worships herself as a god.

Although it's not a bad thing to be treated like this, I always feel a little... guilty. To be honest, Romulus doesn't think he has reached the level that can be compared with the goddess of order and the red lady.

This should be the wish of Greta and other officials, hoping to become stronger enough to compete with other gods. After all, there is no god behind the Holy Will Empire.

Since his subordinates hoped so, and at the same time he had to fulfill his mission, Romulus took this as his goal and made unremitting efforts.

"Very good, I also understand the general situation of all aspects..."

Romulus had no choice but to borrow the ladder Greta gave to get down: "Other aspects, I will look at it."

The meeting ended hastily, and Romulus continued to talk to Greta alone.

"I'm sorry Your Majesty, I didn't mean to disrupt the meeting," Greta said, "Actually, I think the biggest threat facing the empire is still internal."

Romulus was stunned. It has been more than three years, and the internal affairs of the empire have been basically straightened out. Why are there still problems?

Greta sighed: "Your Majesty, I have also read the statements of both the Aurora Empire and the Red Federation. There is nothing on the side of the Aurora Empire, but on the Red Federation side, don't you think, Your Majesty, that Li Qi Player's remarks will be heard in the main Is there a huge turmoil in the plane?"

Romulus nodded: "Of course, but isn't the Dawn Empire a threat? What does it have to do with us?"

Greta shook her head: "Your Majesty, you haven't realized how much damage Li Qi's incitement has done to our empire? In his mouth, isn't our soul image technology oppressing the souls of mortals? Our dragon soul technology, Isn't it enslaving the souls of mortals and dragons?"

Romulus smiled disapprovingly and said: "This...you are too sensitive, the soul image technology is to pass on the power of the great emperor I have mastered to other people, it is precisely this kind of power that protects their souls from being controlled by extraordinary power. "

"As for the dragon soul technology, there were indeed some problems at the beginning, but under my supervision, hasn't it been modified to be more humane and merciful? Generally, airships have switched to dragon crystal arrays, which is similar to Chilian's use of ethereal arrays. What's the difference? As for the dragon soul technology used by the main battleship, the dragon riders are all volunteers, and the dragon souls also come from giant dragons of the evil clan. The things that mortal dragons did in the old days were much more cruel than what we do. Why do you enslave mortals and dragons?"

Greta said quietly: "Your Majesty thinks so, but the opponents lurking in the empire don't think so. They only use Li Qi's remarks as a very useful banner. Such a banner can indeed rally There are a lot of extraordinary people who keep saying they are pursuing freedom, as well as other stupid people, people who don't know the truth, and people who try to fish in troubled waters."

What she said next made Romulus' expression sink: "The Red Federation shouldn't understand what kind of reaction and waves such words will cause, but they still said it through Li Qi's mouth. How do you see it?"

"Your Majesty, I said a long time ago that our empire is also evil in the eyes of the Chilian, and it is an enemy that must be eliminated. It's just that the great enemy of the Shuguang Empire stands in the front, and they have to cooperate with us."

"The conflict between the Chilian Empire and the Shuguang Empire seems fierce now, but in fact it is still at the stage of quarreling and manipulating agents. On the side of the Shuguang Empire, no matter whether it is the Queen of Shuguang or the Goddess of Order, they actually don't want to fight. Then the Red Federation Who is Lian’s remarks aimed at?”

Romulus said in a low voice: "You mean, the Chilian is actually following us?"

Just as Greta was about to speak, the palace deacon's communication was connected, and the message sent made Romulus jump up.

"His Royal Highness Qi, Qili is coming to visit!?"

Romulus' uncontrollable joy made it difficult for Greta to continue, and she changed her words: "Then listen carefully, what are they trying to do this time."

Greta left, and Romulus was full of thoughts about how to welcome Qili, but did not keep her.

On the northwest border of the Empire of Will, on the peak of the snow-capped mountains near the coast of the Ocean of Wrath stands a forest of magic towers.

In the central tower, Greta walked out of the communication room, from the teleportation circle to another floor, with a very ugly face all the way.

In another more secret communication room, Greta bowed her head to a white-haired old man and sighed: "It's not that simple to destroy the relationship between Romulus and the Red Federation..."

After hearing Greta finish speaking, the white-haired old man nodded and said, "So, the root of the problem is actually Romulus' personal feelings for this elf?"

"It's not...not at all," Greta said uncertainly, "but without this elf, things would be much easier."

The old man said casually: "Then let this elf disappear..."

Greta was stunned: "Will this backfire and make Romulus notice us?"

The old man shook his head: "Don't worry, it's easy to disguise the source of power in the soul-living technique."

Greta raised her brows even higher: "Pretend...meaning to put blame on that side? Doesn't this bring Romulus and the Red Federation closer? It completely violates the original intention, Your Excellency Lucian?"

The old man was Lucian, Greta's upline. He chuckled and said, "Haven't we been looking for an opportunity, an opportunity for Romulus to switch from his own track to ours?"

"It's really too abrupt to let Thewins carry this opportunity and complete the whole turning point, and accidents are very likely. If it's this elf, it's fine to take part of the turning point."

Greta suddenly realized, stretched her eyebrows, nodded and said, "That's true, I have forgotten our more important goals."
