I, the yellow-haired noble, hypnotize the beautiful wife from another world

Hadaway's eyes flickered, and then he said: "We should find a way to nominate him as the emperor of the Golden Eagle Empire. This way, we can break up his alliance with the queen."

"What if he doesn't accept it?"

"If he doesn't accept it, we won't lose anything. And even if he doesn't accept it, won't Queen Theresa have doubts in her heart? Won't she start to worry that Aslan and the Crusaders are becoming too powerful? Does she really want to be Aslan's good wife and mother for the rest of her life, or even a flannel ball, handing over all her power and territory to Aslan, and then being a good boy and being satisfied as long as Aslan fucks her?"

After all, Theresa was also a member of their Griffin family. Hardaway was still a little unhappy with what Duke Shilkov said. He felt that this was not only an insult to Queen Theresa, but also to the entire Griffin family.

But even though he was unhappy, Hardaway still felt that what Duke Shilkov said made sense. Brothers should settle accounts clearly, and husband and wife are birds of the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly away separately. Are there really idiots in this world who would give up power for love?

Are you kidding? This is not a female-oriented novel.

"Worth a try."

He nodded, approving Shilkov's plan.

Chapter 47: Boiling Frog Tactics

They had no idea how comfortable and pleasant it was to be treated this way and that by Aslan. They also had no idea that the Queen really didn't want any power or status. As long as Aslan could always pamper her, she would be happy. She wished that Aslan could be more powerful. She could live a relaxed life as a lady every day, open a salon during the day to read novels and appreciate flowers and plants, and have sex with Aslan at night. That was good enough.

Simply judging others by their own standards, Duke Shilkov and old General Hardaway began their plan.

While carrying out this plan, they were also happily fantasizing about all sorts of things.

If Aslan really became the emperor, they could bring him up to their level, and then defeat him with their rich experience.

Even if it doesn't work, after falling into chaos and internal conflicts, cracks began to appear in the alliance between the Crusaders and the Queen, giving the rebel alliance more room to maneuver.

……

In addition to carrying out this conspiracy, General Hadavy and Duke Shilkov did not forget to continue to strengthen their military strength, and tried to use diplomacy, religion or any other messy methods to strengthen themselves and mess up the enemy.

Just like what the Crusaders and Queen Theresa did.

Although Aslan believed that all the princes of the empire, regardless of their size, should seize their property and then establish a strong, unified, centralized empire, governed by a county system and a professional civil service system.

However, the current situation requires us to race against time, so the best thing would be to pretend to be friendly with the feudal nobles for a period of time, defeat the rebels at a faster speed, and then swallow up all the territory of the Ryan family and kill all the Griffin rebels.

After obtaining the two duchies in the southeast and integrating the rebels' territories, 80% of the territory of the entire Golden Eagle Empire is under the control of the Queen. In this case, the empire can directly abolish the feudal system from a practical perspective, and it will not be like a certain Louis XIV, who used the conciliatory method of giving up military power with a glass of wine to support a large number of parasites and put a heavy burden on the national finances. It's really great.

Unfortunately, everyone is not an idiot, so the diplomatic achievements of the Crusaders and the Griffin Alliance are quite few.

Although they said, "Okay, okay, no problem, if the queen kills them, they will open the city gate and rebel." But if they were asked to turn against the queen right now, they would definitely not do so.

Of course, at the same time, the diplomatic achievements between the rebels and the Ryan family were also not great. No one was willing to give them money or effort anymore. They were basically perfunctory.

……

No one dared to offend the Crusaders and the Queen. But at the same time, no one wanted the Crusaders and the Queen to win. This led to such a contradictory situation.

In Aslan's view, Dio, who was willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of small gains, was just waiting to die. They would be killed sooner or later anyway, so it was better to do as Hadaway said, while there was still a choice in the current situation, take out all the troops, strength and money, and fight Aslan with all their strength.

Of course it would be best if he won, but if he still lost, it would mean that Aslan was invincible. No matter what he did, it would be useless, so he would die knowingly.

It's just that people are unwilling to do so.

This is not only because of procrastination, but also because I don't trust Hardaway and Shilkov. Who knows if you two Gou Ba, after getting all the resources and power, will use it as a bargaining chip to bargain with Aslan, and finally sell us all out in exchange for your own glory and wealth?

Therefore, although Hillkov and Hadavi now believe that all the people in the world who oppose the Crusaders should unite and fight with all their might, just like dealing with the Scourge of the Undead or the invasion of Hell, all the people in the world, even the elves and dwarves, dragons and giants, should unite as one and kill the evil and crazy Crusaders. If possible, they can even accept orcs and even goblins as members of this covenant.

After all, the Crusaders have become the world's greatest scourge. If we don't defeat them, we will all be swallowed up by this behemoth.

……

With the crazy increase in the strength and power of the Crusaders, even with the continuous propaganda and guidance of Aslanism, the Church of the Goddess of Light and the Order Society, the theory of the threat of the Crusaders is still becoming more and more popular.

No matter how much they promote themselves as messengers of justice, when the monarchs see the power of the Crusaders and Aslan's strength, their worries will grow day by day - so if one day the Crusaders really annex the entire Golden Eagle Empire, no matter how the Crusaders annex it, the encirclement and alliance against the Crusaders will definitely be established faster. Unless during this period of time, a greater threat quietly arrives.

"A bigger threat, a bigger threat..."

After the letter from Hadavi and Duke Shilkov expressing their willingness to nominate Aslan as the emperor of the Golden Eagle Empire reached Aslan, Aslan began to think frantically and seriously.

If he really implements his centralized power plan now, the Crusaders may become the target of public criticism. At that time, Aslan will have to unify the world by force, just like Nazi Germany. But is that path really feasible?

Or do I need to slow down?

"It's not impossible to slow down, accumulate strength, and then fight. After all, we are much stronger than the opponent. The longer we delay, the better it will be for us. But is there such a way..."

If a major event like the undead scourge or demon invasion really happened, the human world would unite as one. In this case, if Aslan wanted to promote centralized reforms, would other countries and nobles agree to it for the sake of foreign invasion?

Or...

Or will they refuse without mercy, or even become traitors and join the devil like the southern city-state did in the past?

Aslan didn't want to gamble.

"Let's take a step back for now."

Aslan thought: "The plan to take control of the entire Golden Eagle Empire in one go can be cancelled. We can take it slowly. We can adopt the tactic of boiling a frog in warm water. Of course, this does not mean that we will make peace with the rebels right now."

Thinking of this, Aslan's eyes flickered and he finally made up his mind.

We have to fight, and we have to fight again. We have to wipe out the Ryan family and the main forces of the rebels in one fell swoop, and establish the Crusaders' imperial hegemony with an indisputable victory.

The Golden Eagle Empire is about to have a new owner.

Aslan will begin to rule this corrupt empire as the Grand Marshal and Regent of the Empire, bringing it new life!!!

Chapter 48 Nothing is better

After making up their minds, the Crusaders headed towards Rock City at the fastest speed.

In the relatively flat hinterland of the empire, this was a rare relatively dangerous area that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Unfortunately, the Griffin army had low morale before this, so they barely put up any decent resistance and lost this strategic location to the enemy.

The rebels originally planned to use Mountain Stone City as a bridgehead for their future march into the imperial capital. But now with the intervention of the Crusaders, the rebels are preparing to fight a defensive battle here, using the mountains of Mountain Stone City, the solid fortress, and the temporarily enhanced magic barrier to stop the Crusaders.

Of course, before this, there had been heated discussions within the rebels. Some believed that with the Griffin rebels and the Ryan family's army numbering more than 100,000, it would not be impossible to claim that they had 300,000 troops. The army could completely defeat the Crusaders in a fair battle.

But after some discussion, people decided that this was not the right approach. The northern frost giants were strong enough, but they were still defeated by the Crusaders in the end. So it was better to just defend the city.

But can we win by defending the city? Not long ago last year, the old general Hardaway was an ally of the Crusaders. He witnessed the long-range firepower bombardment of the powerful artillery, the accompanying mages, and the dragons of the Crusaders.

Under such powerful long-range firepower bombardment, the southern mountain fortress group that Duke Darkes had painstakingly built and thought was impregnable was reduced to ashes without any decent resistance.

The great hero Darkus began to go downhill after that. Whether it was an alliance with the southern city-state or secretly joining the Jade Empire, it was just a dying struggle, and in the end the great hero died with hatred. The Crusaders stepped on the corpses of the Phoenix army and ascended the throne of the world's strongest army.

Could the temporarily reinforced Stone City Fortress be compared to the southern mountain fortresses? Could the patchwork coalition army be compared to the army that Phineas had painstakingly built?

The Crusaders are now stronger than they were a year ago. They have more soldiers...

Therefore, defending is not an option, fighting is not an option, running away is not an option, and surrender is not an option.

After a heated discussion, everyone discovered with a little sadness that all of Gou Ba's roads were blocked. What should they do in this situation?

"The key lies in top-level combat capability, top-level combat capability, top-level combat capability."

Even if the three near-god warriors on Aslan's side do not take action, there is still Nana and Aslan, two top legends. The unreliable Nana is said to be the strongest under the near-god, a top existence that cannot be defeated even if eight or ten legends join forces. Aslan himself is not strong enough in a single fight, but after another upgrade and strengthening, he has transformed into a giant dragon that is developing towards the direction of the ancient golden dragon, and is the ultimate killing weapon on the battlefield.

At the same time, with the addition of two legendary dragons, Kanna and Elizabeth, the Crusaders completely crushed the opponent in terms of high-level combat power.

This is because the other party didn't know about Skadi's existence, and didn't know that Riven and Beatrice had advanced to legends, and Aslan defeated the legendary succubus Lamy with his own ability. Otherwise, it would be even more ridiculous.

Even if the Crusaders are not counted as the legends of the Griffin family and the legends that can be hired temporarily, they are still able to crush the high-level combat power of the rebels.

Especially on the rebel side, most of the legends are in a mercenary relationship, and the only ones who truly stand on the rebel side are a [Perfect Knight] and a [Golden Mage].

One of them was the cousin of General Hardaway and the best professional of the younger generation of the Griffin family. The other was the heir of the Ryan family—although he was only the illegitimate son of Hillkov. But he had brilliant golden hair and was as wild as a lion, and possessed an unparalleled magical talent. It was precisely because of this powerful power that Hillkov, against all odds, made him his heir.

It is also because of this that the two of them are closely tied to the interests of the rebels, and they will not surrender no matter who surrenders.

But just a perfect knight and a golden wizard cannot compare with the luxurious lineup of the Crusaders.

Legendary masters also like to flatter the powerful and trample on the weak. Those wild legendary professionals who were hired by the rebels are now trying to find ways to withdraw. No one will continue to accept their employment.

In the wars of the fantasy world, victory or defeat is usually determined by two factors: the strength of the general public's army, and the legendary combat power of high-level professionals.

Now, on the first point, the rebels felt that they could barely rely on their numerical advantage to fight the Crusaders on equal terms. The lion knights coming from the Great River Valley were even more self-righteous, thinking that the Crusaders' tricks were nothing. They had to see the power of the Golden Lion.

But as for the second point, I am a bit confused.

"Is there any way? Is there no way?"

While working frantically to reinforce the defenses of Rock City, the rebel leaders were also thinking about how to strengthen their top-level combat power.

Especially after hearing that Yelena could produce legendary golems equivalent to legendary warriors in small batches, everyone felt even more excited.

Especially at the same time, Griffin and the Crusader Alliance had already coordinated diplomatic matters.

Aslan issued a declaration through the Church of the Goddess of Light and the Society of Order, declaring that he refused to accept the crown offered by the thief, and that he was fighting for justice and order in the human world, so he would never make peace with the enemy who interfered with all this.

I will continue to support Queen Theresa's rule and bring peace and order to the entire Golden Eagle Empire.

At the same time, Queen Theresa also issued a statement. In addition to highly praising Aslan and the Crusaders for their efforts for the world and for human peace and order, she also declared that she was willing to appoint Aslan as the regent prince, prime minister and imperial marshal of the Golden Eagle Empire, and make him the queen's full-power agent to preside over the military and political affairs of the empire, concentrate forces, and defeat the rebels and the Ryan family's legion.

After that, in May 1003, when summer fell, a total of 5 troops consisting of Crusaders and newly reorganized Doppelganger warriors, under the unified command of Aslan, marched southward towards the Stone City south of the imperial capital.

Meanwhile, the coordination of the rebels, whether it was strengthening the city's defenses, finding external aid, or obtaining the assistance of more legendary masters, was not completed.

Under such an unexpected and comprehensive disadvantage, the battle between the Crusaders and the rebels began completely.

Chapter 49: The World's Strongest Legion

When the Griffin Knights brought the news that the Crusaders were already one hundred kilometers away from Rock City, the faces of the rebel officers present became extremely serious.

The faces of the rebel griffin knights were pale, as if they had seen something unbelievable and terrifying.

They did not dare to speak freely in public, but in letters to relatives and friends and in private notes, they described the shocking scene in detail.

The soldiers of the Crusaders were arranged in extremely neat rows, and even when they were marching, they were in uniform formation, like a machine. Everyone walked in exactly the same pace and length of steps, as if they were not independent individuals, but a gear in a huge war machine.

Even the hooves of the Crusaders' Knights of the Order and the Centaur warriors stepped together, creating an earth-shaking feeling, as if the earth was shaking.

——It was obvious that they mistook the latest batch of puppet maids from the Centaur territory for the newly recruited Centaur cavalry of the Crusaders.

Of course, in a sense, it was not wrong to think so. The Crusaders used the giant spider chassis puppet maids in the Underdark, and the effect was quite good. The centaur chassis puppet maids were put into actual combat for the first time. Aslan hoped that they could play a corresponding tactical role.

……

In addition to these griffin riders, Griffin's other griffin riders also brought back more news.

Because of the centralized strategy implemented by Aslan, most of the Griffin Knights, who were proud of them, chose to join the ruler who they believed was more orthodox and more sacred. Today's Otto IV is Theresa's distant cousin.

Originally, the Griffin Knights thought that this would give them an air superiority. But that was not the case. Other Griffin Knights brought back news that they had encountered an overwhelming army of dragons. After a not-so-intense air battle, the Griffin Knights collapsed completely.

As long as the white dragons gave a round of dragon breath, the opposing griffin knights would all be defeated, without any additional greetings. The magicians riding on the white dragons all felt very bored.

Unlike those giants who did things roughly, the Crusaders who obtained the White Dragon Legion chose to fully unleash the fighting power of the White Dragon Legion.

They did not let the White Dragon Legion continue to follow the hopeless beast trainer, but used more scientific and rational magic, as well as biological genes, to ensure that the White Dragon Legion would become stronger and more loyal.

The magic aspect specifically lies in the magic contract and the suppression of Aslan's dragon bloodline.

Aslan, who has the blood of a half-step dragon god, can achieve a huge unifying effect even when facing five-colored dragons, making the white dragons feel awe and submission from the bottom of their hearts.

The little magic developed by Yelena can make these white dragons more awed and submissive. At the same time, the use of magic contracts and simple Stockholm-style control techniques can also make them more loyal to the Crusaders and Aslan's great empire on a psychological level.

In fact, it is not just the white dragons who think this way. The silver dragons also have a subtle idea. The current Crusader Knights State is actually a righteous country founded by a great genius gold dragon and belonging to the dragon monarch. It is also because Aslan belongs to the great country of the metal dragon clan, or even the platinum dragon god Bahamut.

That is why they recognized the alliance with the Crusaders and were willing to fight for Aslan.

……

As for biological genes, they hope to transform these white dragons into giant dragon families through science... or magic.

Although there has never been a precedent of a giant dragon influencing a giant dragon as a clan before. If there is one, it is the Dragon God. However, on the one hand, Aslan's method is more scientific, and on the other hand, these are just the weakest of the five-color dragons, the white dragons known as the shame of the true dragons.

So if we work harder, maybe this thing can be accomplished.

As for whether letting the white dragons carry people would offend their dignity, it goes without saying - just kidding, the social status of the white dragons in the Frost Giants was that they were hard-working slaves who worked part-time as food storage. Now Aslan has at least given them citizenship. Even if the white dragons were idiots, they would not do this to anger Aslan for such a small matter.

Just like that, the most powerful, unimaginable and premier dragon knight force in the world appeared in Aslan's army.

Although it was just a white dragon, the fact that it could be produced in small batches still gave the Crusaders the upper hand in this air battle.

"We cannot sit idly by."

When all the information was gathered, Duke Shilkov was like an ant on hot pot, pacing around the room.

He waved his hands to emphasize his words. "We didn't expect that the Crusaders' air force firepower would be so formidable. If we continue to choose to defend, we will be blown to pieces by the dragon's breath falling from the sky. There is no chance of fighting back at all!"

Because before this war, there was almost no organized air force firepower in this world. Even if there were elite knights that could move in the air, such as the Griffin Knights, Manticore Knights, Pegasus Knights, and Horned Eagle Knights, they did not have strong long-range firepower output capabilities, and only relied on their own mobility and the power of riding monsters, plus the relatively short-range release of Qi to fight.

Although its combat capability is very strong, it is still far behind the giant dragon that is as powerful and terrifying as a bomber.

Yes, the white dragons' icy breath is much weaker in terms of power, especially in terms of attacking ability. However, the existence of magic potions allows the white dragons to transform the elemental attributes of their breath, transforming the icy breath into the flaming breath, in order to enhance their attacking ability.

So the Crusaders did not have twenty-five ice dragons, but twenty-five fire dragons with powerful attack capabilities.

Under such circumstances, if you want to fight a city defense battle with the Crusaders, you must be crazy and you will not even know how you died.
