Mirelia said, "Just punishing Ottocre will get you your help. Can I understand why you want to do this?"
Li Wei said, "Because he took his resentment towards Chiyo the Shield Hero out on me. I don't know what happened before, but I don't want to be anyone's scapegoat."
Mirelia and Ottocre have spent over ten years together, and she knows a great deal about Ottocre's past. Because of the previous Shield Hero, and for other reasons that are hard to explain, Ottocre lost important family members, so he harbors a twisted resentment towards the Shield Hero.
Mirelia sighed and said, "I know what to do. Don't worry, he will get the punishment he deserves, and I guarantee it will satisfy you."
Li Wei nodded and said, "To be honest, your luck is pretty bad. Those three heroes are all defective. They weren't the first in line for summoning; they were reserves among reserves. That's why their performance was so poor. With their current strength, if they were to fight the enemy army head-on, they would only be surrounded and killed. Hobray also has his own Seven-Star Heroes, and they also have ways to interfere with the teleportation ability of the Four Sacred Artifacts. Those three guys are unreliable right now."
The reason why the Four Sacred Weapons are considered top-tier sacred weapons is because their abilities are guaranteed to be very high. Although Li Wei has not studied the other three sacred weapons, he has thoroughly understood all the technologies within the Sacred Shield and knows that the Four Sacred Weapons are already excellent as stellar consciousness weapons.
Even if the summoned heroes are just ordinary people with no combat experience, as long as they fight using holy weapons and accumulate experience to level up, the four holy heroes can possess strategic-level power simply by relying on the various conventional abilities of the holy weapons, which is something that the seven-star heroes cannot do.
The "familiar weapons" used by the Seven Star Heroes are a grade lower than the holy weapons used by the Four Holy Heroes. This is the conclusion reached by many researchers in this world after hundreds of years of research.
Although the Seven Star Hero on the other side is now a weakling, considering that the Kingdom's side, apart from Li Wei, also has three other Four Saints Heroes who are weaklings, this is indeed a "fair match".
Mirelia paused for a moment after hearing Levi's words, and said, "There are still Seven-Star Heroes on Hobre's side?"
Li Wei said, "The other side is very good at hiding. They never want to take the lead. Apart from a few people who know the truth, most people only know that he is a big shot and an arms dealer."
Mirelia sighed. The agreement reached by the various major powers stipulated that heroes could not participate in wars between nations, whether they were the Four Holy Heroes or the Seven Star Heroes, even if they participated indirectly.
However, because the kingdom broke the agreement first, all the previously agreed-upon agreements were null and void. Now, other countries have produced heroes who can reasonably participate in the war, which will undoubtedly make the war more intense and cause more casualties.
Li Wei said, "I can provide support with a powerful expert to keep things under control. If the other three warriors can't be relied upon, he can ensure the battle line doesn't collapse. However, he has a bit of a temper and occasionally accidentally injures his own men. I hope you can understand."
Chapter 1. The Rise of High-Class Style
Mirelia said with some surprise, "One person is enough? That must be a very powerful expert."
Li Wei said, "He is indeed considered a strong person by the standards of this world. However, he is one of my subordinates and can only barely be ranked in the top 100. It just so happens that he does not have a world to guard right now, so it is quite suitable for him to come here to handle some miscellaneous affairs."
Levi originally planned to have Geese appear on Kitamura Motoyasu's side, but now the Queen needs to arrange for Ottocre, and also needs a strong enough person to maintain the front line.
Li Wei clapped his hands lightly, and a golden circular spatial gate appeared. A burly young man named Giss, dressed in a golden holy robe, with long golden hair tied in a low ponytail and a serious expression, appeared beside the two.
Upon seeing Levi, Giss gracefully performed a hand-on-chest salute and said, "Your Majesty, what important matter do you wish to discuss with me?"
In her youth, Mirelia was also an adventurer. She was also a mage with considerable power and was extremely sensitive to the intensity of energy. Just by standing there, Giss exuded a terrifying pressure.
In her perception, Li Wei seemed like an ordinary person, unassuming and unassuming. However, she knew this was because the difference in their strength was too great. Moreover, Li Wei was also a very low-key person, rarely revealing his power to ordinary people. Therefore, ordinary people knew very little about Li Wei.
Levi said, "Giss, I have a task for you now."
Giss's face lit up with surprise, and he said, "Does Your Majesty wish for me to conquer this world and let it bask in Your Majesty's glory?"
Li Wei said, "I have no interest in this backward world, and the empire has no need for such a remote and impoverished place. When the natives here develop to the point where they can look to the stars, if they can find me, I will give them a chance to pledge allegiance to me. Consider it a special privilege of mine. But for now, let's forget about it."
Giss showed a regretful expression, and even the golden light on his body dimmed a little.
Li Wei said, "You are not yet suitable to be Governor Fang. Just do what you are supposed to do. The opportunity you want will come soon when you are ready."
The conversation, packed with information, surprised Mirelia. The language Levi and Geese were using was a mysterious language she had never heard before, yet she found herself able to understand their conversation.
The fate of this world seemed so cheap in Li Wei's eyes, which instilled fear in her heart. Just what kind of terrifying big shot had this hero summoning ritual summoned?
However, what Mirelia doesn't know is that both Krauser, whom she encountered before, and Geese, who has just appeared, are merely disguises for Levi. Levi uses this ability to quickly orchestrate events; he alone can deceive the entire world. Using it to fool a regional leader like her is overkill.
Giss frowned slightly, looking puzzled, and said, "Your Majesty, I don't quite understand."
"Is there anything you don't understand?" Li Wei asked with a smile.
Giss said, "Is such a remote little world worth Your Majesty's personal attention? It's a world that a mere bandit general could easily destroy, yet you've condescended to do so. I really don't understand."
Li Wei tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said, "Indeed, this remote and impoverished little world is not important to me. I came here for that so-called wave. The wave is not a natural phenomenon, but is being pushed by someone behind the scenes."
Mirelia showed a shocked expression. The waves that had been going on for hundreds of years had been studied extensively by scholars from various countries on the continent. However, regardless of the school of thought, they all agreed that the waves were a natural phenomenon, the result of the collision between two worlds. The winners could gain temporary peace, while the losers would lose everything.
However, Li Wei is now saying that the waves are not a natural phenomenon, but rather that someone is stirring things up behind the scenes, which has somewhat overturned her worldview.
Giss said, "Why does Your Majesty need to personally intervene with such a despicable person who only dares to hide behind the scenes? I can take a group of men and deal with that villain behind the scenes."
Mirelia was shocked again. Even Levi's subordinates were confident that they could take down the mastermind behind the Wave. Just how powerful was Levi? The thought that she was actually bargaining with such a strong person sent a chill down Mirelia's spine.
Li Wei said, "That guy hiding behind the scenes has roughly the strength of a governor. He's a very dangerous enemy for you right now, and I don't want you to perish here. Moreover, this kind of vile act that causes different worlds to collide can be considered a provocation against me. Although this isn't imperial territory, such malicious terrorists could cause trouble within the empire at any time, threatening the world within the empire as well. Therefore, I'm prepared to personally take action and completely crush this despicable guy, as well as serve as a warning to those with ulterior motives."
··· ·Requesting flowers···· ·
Gis nodded and said, "What should I do? I want to contribute my strength to His Majesty's battle."
Li Wei laughed and said, "You don't need to do anything. It's your vacation time now. What you need to do now is help the lady in front of you resist the invasion of foreign enemies. Of course, I will also set restrictions for you. You cannot leave this royal city. I will only provide the last line of defense for this country to ensure that the kingdom will not perish. As for the rest, that's up to the kingdom to handle."
... .....
Gis looked at Mirelia and said, "You are very lucky. His Majesty is a kind man. Although you are not a citizen of the Empire, I will still protect your safety, provided you stay here. If you go out, I will not be able to help you."
Mirelia said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, Hero. Hero, do you mean that as long as it's within the capital's territory, everything here can receive Lord Giss's protection?"
Li Wei smiled and said, "I know what you're going to do, just don't go too far."
Mirelia nodded quickly and said, "I know my limits and will never overstep them."
Mirelia is preparing to expand the royal city, but the original population capacity of the royal city has a limit. Even if the defenses are contracted and refugees are taken in, the population that can be protected will not be too many.
But things are different now. With Giss's protection, at least the capital city can be guaranteed not to fall. What she needs to do is expand the capital city's territory and use Levi's orders to Giss to protect more of the kingdom's people. However, this approach must be measured; she can't simply annex large tracts of land to the capital city. Such an overbearing act could easily provoke Levi's resentment.
Chapter 1. After the Secret Talk
Li Wei said to Gis, "This is not imperial territory after all. According to the empire's Primitive Civilization Protection Law, imperial research units and the military are not allowed to intervene in this kind of internal strife between natives. But this time I'm making an exception for my own personal reasons. This is something you and I know. If it gets leaked, I'll hold you accountable."
Gis quickly lowered his head and said, "I understand, and I will certainly not make things difficult for Your Majesty."
Li Wei nodded and said, "I must set an example for myself by following the rules I set, but this is a special situation, so you can act as you see fit. However, you must not cause too much casualties to the natives of this world. That's my bottom line. Do you understand?"
Gis nodded and said, "I understand."
Li Wei said, "You should leave now, and don't let anyone know you're here."
Li Wei looked at Mirelia and said, "Don't tell anyone about this, understand?"
Mirelia nodded quickly, indicating that she knew. Right now, Li Wei was the only powerful figure she could rely on, so she naturally wouldn't dare to disobey him on such matters.
After Geese left, only Mirelia and Levi remained in the room. Since the biggest problem had been solved, Mirelia was in a good mood. As for the other three heroes, although she would try to persuade them, she was no longer as nervous as before.
Previously, the Kingdom had no way out, but now with Li Wei backing it up, as long as it doesn't give up, even against Hobra, whose national strength is far superior, the Kingdom still has a fighting chance.
Moreover, the current situation presents her with an opportunity for a power reshuffle. She can use Hobray to uproot those unruly nobles. If those opportunists side with Hobray, that's fine too; at least she'll have a legitimate reason to deal with them. Even if she punishes those nobles, no one will dare to gossip.
Mirelia could already sense the kingdom's current decline. The aristocratic system had indeed made great contributions during the founding of the kingdom, but with the development of the times, it had become out of touch with the times. If the kingdom wanted to get rid of its old ways and embark on a new and prosperous path, it was necessary to find a way to take back the power from the nobles.
From then on, nobles would only have honors and titles, and would no longer have fiefdoms. The feudal system was extremely poisonous to the kingdom.
Mirelia raised her glass, toasted Li Wei, and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Hero. I have no way to repay you."
Li Wei revealed a playful smile and said, "What if I told you that you could repay this favor?"
Li Wei stood up and walked unhurriedly behind Mirelia, placing his hands on her shoulders. The magnificent queen's dress was a style that exposed her shoulders, and Li Wei's hands were directly on her shoulders, which made her shiver. An indescribable thrill welled up from the depths of her heart.
“Hero, you…” Mirelia was interrupted by Li Wei before she could finish speaking.
"You're willing to pay any price to save this kingdom, right? So, how about you pay any price now? I have no interest in the kingdom, but I am quite interested in you personally." Li Wei's voice was exceptionally gentle.
Mirelia fell silent. She felt as if something inside her had shattered, as if the shackles binding her had been broken.
“Let’s spend this wonderful night together,” Li Wei said with a smile.
........................
As the night passed, Li Wei, having enjoyed the taste of a mature queen, returned to his room. He could understand why Prime Minister Cao liked this kind of thing; after all, the Minotaur War God was invincible.
Seeing Li Wei return, Lixia breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My lord, why didn't you come back last night?"
Lisia and Raphtalia enjoyed a sumptuous meal last night. The ladies' service was quite attentive, and the banquet hall prepared just for the two of them was decorated very warmly. Even Filo, the little fat bird, enjoyed all kinds of delicious food that suited him.
Li Wei said, "The Queen invited me over yesterday because she had important matters to discuss. War is about to break out. Hobray will probably declare war in the next couple of days, though it's also possible they'll start without a declaration."
Lisia looked surprised and said, "That's so fast! Hobre's already finished preparing?!"
Li Wei said, "The other side is in trouble. They originally planned to detain the Queen directly, which would both damage the morale of the kingdom and deprive it of its command center... But they didn't expect that the Queen had a special teleportation device on her, which allowed her to bring everyone back. Now the Queen is preparing to announce the specific situation to the public and is mobilizing troops from all over the world to resist the invasion of Hobray."
Lisia's mouth dropped open in surprise as she exclaimed, "This is going to change the world! Can the current kingdom even defeat Hobra? I'm afraid it will be pushed to the feet of the capital in three months, or perhaps the capital will be breached in less than three months."
Li Wei laughed and said, "The kingdom also has its trump cards. If Hobra's army really reaches the foot of the royal city, then they will truly have no chance of returning."
It is said that even a day's marriage brings a hundred days of kindness. Mirelia has become his woman, so naturally he will not let his woman suffer any grievances. Mirelia has also changed her mindset. Now, she is just standing guard for the next queen. After Levi takes care of the mastermind behind the waves, she will leave with Levi.
Li Wei's desire to eliminate the mastermind behind the waves was not a whim, but rather a desire to hunt down the target and turn them into sustenance for his own advancement.
A powerful being like this must be covered in treasures. The mastermind behind the wave is someone who aspires to godhood. This kind of unlucky person, who clearly lacks the ability but insists on causing trouble, is Li Wei's favorite prey. Taking down this prey would yield top-quality materials for refining weapons and alchemy. Just for this reason alone, Li Wei wanted to kill the opponent.
No one ever thinks they have too many good things, especially hoarders like Li Wei, who have a penchant for collecting treasures.
Lisia was somewhat surprised by Levi's words, but she reasoned that the Queen's lineage, having ruled the kingdom for centuries, must possess some hidden trump cards, which they simply didn't usually reveal. Now, with the kingdom facing a life-or-death situation, the Queen would naturally no longer conceal her abilities.
Chapter 1. Morning Meeting
Lysia stroked her chin, a thoughtful expression on her face, and said, "In other words, the Kingdom may not win, but it has a safety net and is not easy to lose."
In Lisia's view, this was actually meaningless. If the kingdom could not surpass Hobra in national strength, it could only rely on that trump card to get by. Once the trump card failed, Hobra could still shake the foundation of the kingdom's rule.
Moreover, she knew very well that what Hobray wanted to fight was not a war of annihilation, but to turn the kingdom into a colony. Hobray's side consisted mainly of his own people, and they were not very interested in ruling a new country. What they wanted was money, and more opportunities to make money.
The kingdom has always maintained a small-scale agricultural economy. In addition, due to the rise of Hobra's national power and the threat from Sidwellut, the kingdom has implemented a policy of isolationism for three generations of queens to prevent the kingdom from being impacted by external forces.
However, this is not so friendly to Hobray, a country built on commerce. Hobray has always wanted to open up sales channels in the kingdom, but due to the insistence of the royal family, Hobray's ideas have not been realized. Now, what the other side wants is still for the kingdom to open up its commercial gateways. War is just a means, not the ultimate goal.
What Hobrae wants is a kingdom with spending power, not a kingdom that has been completely destroyed. Therefore, if the war situation is favorable to Hobrae, he will try to oust the current royal family and install a new puppet royal family so that he can make money without lifting a finger.
