Some people were even inspired by the old general, and with a roar of blood boiling, they jumped on their mounts and launched the last charge of their lives towards the Crusader army.

Aslan: "..."

Looking at these warriors who were ready to die bravely, Aslan was silent for a few seconds: "Try to capture them alive."

He gave such an order.

When people have some spare time, they might as well be more compassionate.

As for the future, whether they might come back and let the tiger go back to the mountains, Aslan is not afraid, because Aslan believes that the future belongs to him.

"let me go!"

"Asshole, I can still fight!"

"If you have the ability to fight in a duel!"

The vast majority of the knights and warriors who finally chose to charge were all captured by the battle puppet maids and became prisoners of the Crusaders.

In fact, if possible, Aslan also hoped to make Hadavi surrender, then kneel on the ground and shout: "Your Majesty is invincible!"

But unfortunately not.

Even if he used mental magic, or the special ability that Aslan had awakened before, he couldn't control it - on the one hand, it was because of the old general's talent and determination. On the other hand, it was also because of Aslan's respect for the old general.

"I'll give you a ride, General Hardaway."

Aslan thought this silently in his heart. Then he canceled the dragon transformation, returned to Elizabeth, urged his mount, and rushed towards the old general.

The giant dragon and the griffin collided fiercely in the air. At the same time, the two spears that rushed towards each other finally hit the target.

One of the swords lost its power halfway through, while the other pierced through the heart.

In the Griffin family, the old general who had fought on the battlefield for decades came to an end.

With just one move, Aslan defeated him. The difference in fighting power between the two sides was really too great.

"General Hardaway..."

"Old General..."

Seeing this scene, many rebel soldiers cried out in pain like desperate wounded wolves. However, more rebel soldiers showed a look of relief, or numbly dropped their weapons without showing any expression, just waiting for the Crusaders to rush up and capture them.

Just like that, a total of 60,000 troops, almost the best and most warlike army available in the entire human world except the Crusaders, were defeated head-on at a rapid speed and without any suspense by the Crusaders' army which had only half the strength of the Crusaders.

When this news reached the desks of various forces, many people were speechless for a long time. Many people felt that a new world, a brand new world, was about to be revealed before the eyes of the world.

Aslan and his Crusader Empire will become the masters of this new world, and mankind will usher in a new era.

Chapter 54: The Beginning of a New Era

After the death of General Hardaway, Prince Chilkov completely lost the courage to continue fighting.

Although the defense of Stone City is still strong, and Duke Shilkov still has an army of nearly 100,000 people.

However, when the news that the Crusaders had easily defeated old General Hadavi reached Duke Shilkov, the Duke chose to surrender as quickly as possible.

Although he knew that after surrendering, Aslan would still take away everything that belonged to him: his territory, his wealth, his status and glory, but in any case, being alive was better than being dead.

As long as you are alive, there will be a day when you can make a comeback, even if it means changing your lifestyle.

He could also become an Aslanist, or he could serve the Crusaders. Even if he couldn't, his sons and descendants could do all of this. As long as they could continue to live a prosperous life in this new era, that would be enough.

For Duke Shilkov, a shameful suicide like General Hadavi's was the most undesirable.

"I will continue to fight." His eyes flickered: "Even if I am laughed at by the world, I will still continue to fight in another way."

The era of the nobility will not just pass away, and the era of the Crusaders will not last very long. After all, everyone wants to enjoy themselves. Even if Aslan himself does not, will his subordinates not?

When fighting for an empire, everyone strives to be the first, but what happens after the empire is conquered?

"Let's lie dormant for a while. The lion of the Ryan family will one day be able to dominate the world again."

Shilkov thought so in his heart.

He picked himself up as quickly as possible and made new plans for the future.

From this point of view, this man who was as strong as a brown bear was unexpectedly a very good hero. In a sense, he was even better than the opponents that Aslan had fought before.

It was a pity that Aslan did not give Shirkov any more chances. Even though he surrendered voluntarily and gave up all the weapons of the 100,000-man army, it was a great help to Aslan.

If we follow the traditional, ancient aristocratic etiquette, then Aslan should treat the Ryan family with favor at this moment, and even recruit several of Hillkov's sons as his guards. Then he should work hard to train them, so that it can become a good story.

But unfortunately, Aslan has already had an update.

There is absolutely no place for these fakes on Aslan's side.

All the male members of the Ryan family were exiled to the North, which was the most strictly controlled area of ​​the Crusader Empire. As for all the women, they were remarried or sent to monasteries, where they lived in darkness from then on.

All the property and territory of the Ryan family were plundered and brought under the control of the Griffin family - of course, the Griffin of Queen Theresa - and of course, in the name of the Golden Eagle Empire.

Of course, of course, of course, with the civil strife of the Griffin family quelled and the Ryan family completely defeated, the Golden Eagle Empire was actually equivalent to a unified empire under the centralized and autocratic rule of the Griffin family and Queen Theresa.

Even the most pessimistic people will admit this.

At the same time, everyone also acknowledged that the Crusaders and their commander Aslan had unparalleled influence on this centralized and unified empire.

Many people believe that Aslan is actually the true ruler of this great empire. Even the most optimistic people believe that Aslan is at least a co-ruler with Queen Theresa.

Many people expect to see a round of open and secret struggles between Aslan and Theresa for power and status after all the internal and external enemies are defeated, and it will be best if one of them beats the other to the punch.

Whether Aslan or Theresa wins, it will seriously shake their rule.

If Aslan wins, without Theresa's legitimacy, he will become a tyrant. At that time, the entire Golden Eagle Empire will become very unstable.

On the other hand, if they lose the support of Aslan, the world's number one commander and the most powerful and warlike Crusaders in the world, relying solely on Theresa's governance and military capabilities, the princes, nobles and external enemies from all over the country will not mind coming up and taking a bite of the big pie called the Golden Eagle Empire.

It's just a pity that, first of all, those who expect this to happen don't know that with the current strength of the Crusaders, even if Theresa's so-called legitimacy is removed, relying on the civil service examination, Aslanism, and the management of the puppet maid, it is enough to rejuvenate the entire Golden Eagle Empire.

The Golden Eagle Empire under the rule of the Crusaders must be a highly centralized, industrialized empire that develops at an extremely fast speed, with large-scale development of magic and strange machine technology. It must be a powerful empire that is completely different from other countries in this world.

The huge amount of resources and manpower that industrial countries can mobilize will make all non-industrial countries dumbfounded.

That is to say, under the same scale, an industrial country, even if it only uses cold weapons to fight an agricultural country, can still easily defeat it by relying on its terrifying numerical advantage and huge logistical advantage.

There would be no situation where the Golden Eagle Empire would fall into turmoil due to the shallow foundation of the Crusaders after the loss of Queen Theresa.

Besides that, Queen Theresa had no intention of opposing the Crusades or Aslan. She was disgusted with politics, war, and diplomacy.

She is more interested in the title of "the most noble woman in the world" rather than "the most noble queen in the world".

In fact, at this moment, Queen Theresa was completely overwhelmed by the joy of victory.

Before the Crusaders joined the battlefield, her empire was on the verge of destruction. But now it is different. Her empire has become a true empire. Even the most harsh critics cannot judge the bulk and flaws of the Golden Eagle Empire.

When Aslan led his army back to the imperial capital, Queen Theresa led all the nobles, officials and priests to welcome the victorious Crusader commander ten miles away, thanking Aslan for saving the empire.

After a grand celebration party, Theresa announced to everyone in front of all the civil and military officials that Aslan's position as the prime minister and marshal of the empire would not be shaken. She entrusted all the power to rule the empire to "her beloved husband". Soon, Aslan would become the new emperor of the Golden Eagle Empire. Together with her, he would govern this new, great empire. When the news came out, the whole world was shocked. Everyone sighed helplessly that the era of the Crusades had really arrived. And it was unstoppable.

Chapter 1: Aslan is about to get married

It was the early spring of the year 1003 of the Goddess Advent Calendar. It was a year after Aslan won the Battle of Rock City and the Imperial Army defeated the two duchies of the Lion family and completely controlled the entire empire.

"Your Highness, it's getting late."

At the call of the lovely dark-skinned dark elf maid Elisa and the lovely half-elf maid Kulala, Aslan woke up from the huge bed with nearly three girls lying on it. Then the maids helped him complete all the steps of getting up in the morning. Then he went to the restaurant to have breakfast with Queen Theresa.

At this moment, they have been engaged for nearly a year, and a grand wedding is also being prepared in an intensive and orderly manner.

But before that, Aslan had already moved to the imperial palace in the imperial capital, and he reveled every night, doing this and that, and then that and that.

At first, Queen Theresa was not very satisfied with this. After all, she was thinking, why should she share the wife with those women?

But soon, after doing this and that with Aslan many times, the Queen no longer dared to do it.

Because Aslan's throwing was too strong. After this and that, Queen Theresa was beaten to her knees and forced to work as a hard slave.

In order to prevent herself from being killed by Aslan one day, Theresa had to ask the female tutor Melis to come and help. Then she found out sadly that even if it was two against one, they were no match for Aslan.

Even if all the places are used, it won't work. Not only will it not work, but it will also increase physical consumption.

So, although she was still unhappy, Queen Theresa finally relaxed her boundaries and asked Aslan to recruit the maids and head maids in her house to help.

But the maids and head maids alone were not enough, so they had to unblock Aslan's childhood sweetheart, the dark magic girl, and the people from the Order Society.

But this still didn't work. So although it was a bit embarrassing, after Aslan made her reveal her Ahegao, the Queen finally agreed to let Yelena, Nana, Maria and Margaret, as well as Duchess Erimeo and Lady Silver Dragon Elizabeth, who were more sensitive...

In this way, the entire palace unknowingly became Aslan's party venue.

The Queen wanted to complain about this, but she thought about it and realized that she screamed very loudly every night, so she couldn't say much. She could only grumble and forget it.

And as time goes by, such grumbling has gradually become a little hobby between couples.

The world was harmonious, the harem was harmonious, and the state of the Golden Eagle Empire was also harmonious. The second half of the year 1002, when the goddess descended, became a rare period of time in the world where no wars or conflicts broke out, and the world generally maintained a peaceful state.

After getting rid of the traitors in the Griffin family and the Ryan family led by Duke Hillkov, the Golden Eagle Empire was unified under the Queen. And as many people expected, there was no conflict between Aslan and Queen Theresa, and no internal friction due to the struggle for power.

Although there were still many people in the Griffin family and the Golden Eagle Empire who were resistant and suspicious of Aslan, after the strongest opposition, General Hardaway, was easily crushed and slaughtered by Aslan, no one dared to oppose Aslan openly.

Their state of non-violent non-cooperation has completely backfired as they have been replaced by new-age bureaucrats who have passed the civil service examination and successfully competed for the job, as well as those more professional puppet maids.

Unwilling to lose power, the foolish local nobles launched a large number of riots over the past six months. Naturally, these small-scale riots were easily crushed by the Crusaders in the shortest possible time.

The tireless fighting puppet maids easily marched, raided, and massacred continuously, nipping all resistance in the bud.

As a result, the Crusaders' control over the entire Golden Eagle Empire not only did not decline, but instead increased further.

……

At the same time, the diplomatic environment of the Golden Eagle Empire became somewhat delicate.

As mentioned before, the Golden Eagle Empire is located in the central region of the human world and is surrounded by other countries.

To the west are Lotharingia and Lunsenor, to the east are the Beast Tide Wasteland, Wend and Iberval, and to the south is Corlia, which is controlled by the Dark Council.

After the Crusaders unified the Golden Eagle Empire, except for Korlia in the south, which was willing to maintain good diplomatic relations with the Golden Eagle Empire because of the threat from the powerful Dark Elf Empire, the other four countries, because they sensed the threat from the Golden Eagle Empire, became increasingly unfriendly towards Aslan and the Crusaders.

One of the most important signs is that the Order Society, which is controlled by Aslan and advocates Aslanism, has been boycotted in these four countries and can hardly be openly active in big cities - of course, only in big cities. It was the feudal era. Even though the lords hated the unification of the Crusades and the Order Society, as well as the policy of cracking down on the aristocracy, in the vast rural areas, a large number of ordinary gentry, rich farmers and small landlords, including some landlords and knights, were supporters of the Crusades and Aslan's theory.

With the help of these supporters, the Crusades and Order, as well as Aslanism, continued to thrive, with a sense of the countryside surrounding the city.

The four major human nations, plus Iberval, made a total of five. They all knew that this would not work. However, the unparalleled strength of the Crusaders made everyone afraid to become an enemy of the Golden Eagle Empire.

Then there is Aslan's biggest and perhaps most important enemy at the moment, the Jade Empire.

The Jade Empire adopted an inclusive and open system, and formed a professional guard based on a variation of the tax farming system and the military district system. It had sufficient money and manpower, and advanced military technology. It was the biggest enemy of the Crusaders.

However, at present, the Dark Elf Queen Olivia has no intention of becoming an enemy of the Golden Eagle Empire.

Even the Empress' expansion in the Beast Tide Wasteland has entered a stable period. It is no longer limited to blind territorial expansion, but has begun to involve immigration and settlement, as well as commercial activities.

In this way, according to Aslan's calculations, it was unlikely that the Crusaders would engage in another large-scale war in the short term.

In other words, the Golden Eagle Empire, the entire Northern Territory, and the northwestern corner of the Beast Tide Wasteland controlled by the Crusaders will also usher in a period of peaceful development.

Aslan hoped that during this rare period of recovery and development, a series of military, political and economic reforms would be carried out to transform the Golden Eagle Empire from a loose feudal state into a modern industrial country, or at least a semi-industrial country, laying the foundation for further expansion in the future.

Chapter 2 The History and Potential of the Golden Eagle Empire

The Golden Eagle Empire is the largest in area and has the largest population among all human countries.

After precise measurements using magic and mathematics, Aslan confirmed that he currently ruled a vast empire covering an area of ​​more than seven million square kilometers.

Of course, two-thirds of these seven million square kilometers are located in the northern region, which is the kind of happy land with snow that never melts all year round and cannot support too many people.

In fact, even the remaining one third, about two million square kilometers of the Golden Eagle Empire, and the Beast Tide Wasteland in the northwest, are not particularly good territories in the traditional sense.

In the ancient times, when humans were still brothers in distress with orcs and were regarded as a strange species between barbarians and wild monsters, the Golden Eagle Empire of that era was regarded as an inferior land by the elves and dwarves.

Compared to Lotharingia and Lunsenor, the territory of the Golden Eagle Empire is too cold and the soil fertility is insufficient. It was even once considered unsuitable for farming.

This situation continued until the beginning of the human era, and there was not much change. The first and perhaps most commendable empire in the human era, the ruling core of the Magic Empire, was in the west and south of the New World, in the Lunseno and southern city-states. It was a warm, spring-like land with an ocean, a place of choice for trade, fishing, and salt.

The valleys and plains of Lensenau, as well as the forests and riverbanks, contain countless fertile territories for growing figs, grapes, olives, and wheat.

These fertile, warm, flat territories with freshwater irrigation supported a relatively civilized population of tens of millions even in the classical era when agricultural technology was not well developed.

At that time, the people living in the Golden Eagle Empire were a backward nation with only a small amount of farming, still in the tribal era, and densely forested.

People believe that the Golden Eagle people and the Northern Barbarians have the same ancestors. In fact, the Golden Eagle people are a kind of Northern Barbarians.

This is also one of the reasons why the city-states in the south of the Golden Eagle Empire are unwilling to obey the emperor of the empire. They think they are the descendants of the ancient magic empire and are more advanced and civilized. Bathed in the glory of the past, looking at the current situation of these city-states, people will have a strong sense of loss.

When the Magic Empire fell apart due to civil war, the elves and dwarves, as well as the Golden Eagle people who were once regarded as barbarians, took the opportunity to rise up, and the era finally entered a state closer to Aslan.

The Golden Eagles' heyday had arrived. They occupied almost the entire territory of the Magic Empire - except for the territories that were broken up in the civil war and then became islands, all of which were controlled by the Golden Eagles.

It is with the help of the remaining technology and magic technology of the Magic Empire that the territory of the Golden Eagle Empire has been effectively developed.
