In response to this, Tallulah, at Anshu's instruction, immediately mobilized a group of more than a thousand imperial personnel to arrive in Londinium. These recruited imperial personnel all had one thing in common, that is, although their strength was not very strong, they had an almost fanatical loyalty to Tallulah and even the Holy Terra Empire.

Well, it's worth mentioning that most of these people are from Ursus. Thanks to Tallulah's exaggerated military record and her iron-blooded approach to eliminating the nobles, although Tallulah set the capital of the empire in Londinium, she actually has higher support in the former Ursus territory.

This could be seen from the moment Tallulah placed them in an open space in the palace and came to speak to them in person. Their faces flushed with excitement, their backs stood straight, and the fanaticism in their eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames.

"I thought that continuously waging wars would make many citizens dissatisfied with me, but I didn't expect that I would be so popular."

To be honest, Talulah didn't quite understand why these people were so fanatical about her. She felt that she hadn't made any significant contribution to the empire. At most, she reviewed and handled many affairs of the empire, big and small, every day. Apart from that, she relied on Anxiu for most things.

But Tallulah overlooked one point, that is, because Anxiu had been hidden behind the scenes from the beginning, the image she had in the eyes of outsiders might be a little different from the image she had in her own perception.

"But part of the reason is probably due to Ursus's national culture. In their eyes, even if you wage wars repeatedly, as long as you win in the end, even if the fruits of victory have nothing to do with them, it won't stop them from supporting you."

An Xiu answered thoughtfully.

As a country modeled after Anxiu's previous life, it is reasonable for the people of Ursus to have a culture of admiring the strong. And when it comes to strength, in the eyes of the people on the land of Terra, is there anyone more powerful than Tallulah, a heroine among women, a man among women, the Iron-Blooded Emperor who killed all the nobles and capitalists and built the strongest country on the land of Terra today?

The answer is none at all. Do you understand what it means to destroy three countries in half a year, and not long ago to defeat Letania, and to humiliate the Twin Queens by signing a series of unequal treaties? The gold content of strong alkali is incredible.

"Hehe, Shuang Xing once said that I have no femininity at all, and that no one would like me even if I became the emperor. If she dares to say that to me again, I will definitely use this incident to refute her harshly."

Tallulah just laughed triumphantly, while Anxiu beside her could only give an awkward but polite smile.

An Xiu: “?”

Is it possible that this popularity has nothing to do with whether Ata is feminine at all? Rather, is it that being popular because of this kind of thing is a complete failure from the perspective of femininity?

"Fellow citizens of the empire, welcome. I believe you already know the purpose of summoning you here."

"Before, Leithania's spies secretly infiltrated a border city of the Empire, causing it to fall without anyone noticing. This is a disgrace to the Empire, and a problem that must be resolved."

"To prevent similar situations from happening again in the future, the Empire has specially developed armor similar to the Victorian Steam Knights. However, unlike the Steam Knights, which required extremely high standards from the pilot, this new type of power armor can be controlled by almost anyone."

"I have decided to use this to establish a brand new security force in the empire. After undergoing specialized combat training, they will pilot this new type of power armor and go to various cities across the empire to maintain law and order. You will be the first group of members."

"Then, as the Emperor of the Empire, I ask, are you willing to dedicate your lives to the Empire?"

Coming before the more than 1,000 people who had been summoned, Tallulah spoke loudly with a calm expression and asked questions to everyone present.

In response, the eyes of the summoned imperial personnel turned red and bloodshot, and they shouted in unison.

"I swear allegiance to His Majesty until death!!!"

"Your Majesty, Talulah, loyalty! Honesty!!!"

"Your Majesty, we are ready to die for you at any time!!!"

Just like that, none of the people present chose to refuse, and all joined the newly formed security force. They were issued power armor, given authority, and went to a specific venue for training.

"In this way, the empire's public security problems can be resolved, and things like the previous one will surely not happen again."

A smile appeared on Tallulah's lips, and Anshu nodded in response.

......

Half a month later, in a remote street somewhere in Londinium.

"Vina, are you okay?"

In an independent wooden warehouse, Vina was sitting against the wall, holding an injured arm and with her blonde hair covered in dust.

Facing the concerned inquiries from her companions in the Glasgow Gang, Vina silently shook her head.

"It's okay, just some minor injuries, just a bit of carelessness, just a little bandage will do."

Ever since Victoria, Casimir, and Ursus were merged by Emperor Tallulah to form the Holy Terra Empire, the crime rate in Londinium, the capital of the empire, has been much better than before the arrival of the Sarkaz from Kazdel, due to the gradual improvement in living conditions and quality of life.

But a lower crime rate does not mean that no one commits crimes. There is no shortage of people who commit crimes for their own selfish interests. This problem cannot be eliminated by any country.

For example, the experience of the Glasgow Gang led by Vina. To be honest, after the establishment of the Holy Terra Empire and the restoration of order in Londinium, although the Glasgow Gang was a street gang, it has always lived honestly and low-key in the capital of this empire.

Although it still holds the name of a gang, it has actually long ceased to engage in any gang activities.

We usually go to work together, and then get together to eat and rest. Life is pretty good.

But the problem is, even if the members of the Glasgow Gang want to live in peace, the enemies that the Glasgow Gang has offended in the past don't think so.

So, not long ago, when Vina was leading the Glasgow Gang to have dinner in the stronghold, they were attacked by their former enemies. This was a premeditated revenge. The Glasgow Gang was caught off guard and could only fight with the other side in a remote street, and then hid in this warehouse.

"Those guys actually dared to attack us in the street. Are they crazy? Aren't they afraid of attracting the Imperial Security Forces?"

Indra couldn't help but grit his teeth when he thought of the enemy who had just attacked them.

"That's normal. If these guys were afraid of the security forces, they wouldn't have formed a gang before."

Vina, who was sitting against the wall, sighed and said.

 

 

...

Chapter 204: The Arrival of the Steam Knights, Hakishi Panted

"If they weren't carrying weapons, how could those guys possibly be our opponents?"

Several members of the Glasgow Gang said this with some reluctance.

Originally, under Vina's leadership, although the Glasgow Gang had only a few members, each of them could be considered an elite and was by no means just a simple street thug.

If they had brought weapons in advance, the enemies who attacked them would definitely not be their match.

However, the peaceful days have lasted for a long time, and with the improvement of public security, it is inconvenient to carry weapons on the streets. Not to mention the other members of the Glasgow Gang, even Vina, who is aware of her sensitive identity, can't help but slack off. The hammer that she used to carry with her has been thrown in the corner of the Glasgow Gang's stronghold and has not been touched for who knows how long.

"The Imperial Security Force will soon be here once they learn of the situation. Do we have to continue hiding here until then?"

"No, I'm afraid it's too late. Those guys have already caught up here."

Vina shook her head and said in response to the suggestion of her companion.

At this moment, she could already hear the faint sound of footsteps coming from outside the warehouse. The footsteps were very hurried. It was obvious that the enemies who attacked them were also afraid of being caught by the imperial security forces, so they wanted to find their hiding place as quickly as possible.

In this situation, the people hiding in the warehouse cannot hide anymore, so the best option is to take the initiative to attack.

So, everyone used local materials and randomly picked up some handy discarded wood and stones in the warehouse as makeshift weapons, and rushed out decisively when they heard footsteps approaching.

Peng!

Vina, who was leading the way, swung the discarded wood in her hand and knocked down the two enemies in front with one blow. Then she snatched the weapons of the fallen enemies and continued to attack others.

The other members of the Glasgow Gang were not to be outdone. In just a few seconds, many members of the rival gang fell to the ground.

But at the same time, because their position was exposed, more enemies surrounded them in a blink of an eye.

"Kill them!"

Among the enemies, a man who looked like the leader spoke.

According to his estimation, since the previous fight on the street was quite noisy, even if the location was very remote, people must have reported the incident to the Imperial Security Forces.

In a few minutes at most, the Imperial Security Force would arrive here. If he couldn't kill all the members of the Glasgow Gang and destroy the scene before then, not to mention his current group of brothers, even he, the gang leader, would be arrested and put in jail.

To this end, the gang leader kept urging his men to increase their offensive strength. The Glasgow Gang, whose members were already injured due to a sneak attack, suddenly fell into a disadvantage, and all members were struggling to hold on under the attacks of numerous enemies.

And in the darkness, a pair of lion eyes stared at the situation in front of them, their eyes full of confusion.

"Vina is in danger. What should we do...should we take action?"

Gawain, hiding in the dark, looked hesitant.

As a beast master, with the blessing of long years and immortality, Gawain's strength is undoubtedly at the upper level in this land. If he were to take action, he could naturally easily deal with this group of Vina's enemies and protect the safety of Vina, the last bloodline of Aslan.

But the problem is that once he takes the initiative, unless he can guarantee to kill all the enemies present, if one of them escapes and his existence is exposed, then due to the special nature of the Beast Master, the Holy Terra Empire will definitely track down the identities of Vina and others, thus making the empire pay attention to Vina, the last descendant of the Aslan bloodline of the former Victoria royal family.

If that situation occurs, then considering the terrifying strength of the empire, he will probably have no choice but to consider taking Vinarun to the tropical rainforest on Sargon's side to live as a primitive man.

Taking action would bring danger to Vina, and if she didn't take action, Vina's current situation would also be not optimistic.

Just as Gawain was paying attention to the situation at the scene and weighing his thoughts in his mind, a large shadow suddenly covered the scene. Many people looked up, wanting to see what was blocking the sunlight, and then their eyes widened.

"Then...what is that?!"

In mid-air, accompanied by the roar of steam jets, several metal mechas several meters tall fell from the air and slammed into the center of the battlefield.

The tall and hard metal shell, the appearance design that combines advanced and retro, the metal cones on the two huge mechanical arms that are strong enough to tear the city walls are extended and pointed at the people on the scene, accompanied by the warning sound that is transmitted through the loudspeaker and spreads to the entire battlefield.

"Warning! You have violated Article 4 of the Imperial Inviolable Law, which prohibits armed fighting, intentional wounding, and damage to others and public property. Please immediately lay down your weapons and surrender, otherwise the Empire will use violence."

Pfft!Pfft!Pfft!

Faced with the warnings from these metal giants that were several meters tall and exuded a terrifying aura, how could a group of ordinary gang members present still have the courage to resist? They were so scared that they dropped their weapons one after another, including the gang leader, and all of them knelt down tremblingly.

Just when the members of the Glasgow Gang were hesitating whether to do as they were told, a figure hiding in the dark suddenly rushed out and blocked the Glasgow Gang, or rather, Vina.

Are you kidding? Ordinary people might not recognize these giants, but how could Gawain not recognize them?

Although there were some minor changes in appearance and details, Gawain would not mistake them. Aren't these the Steam Knights who only obey the orders of the Victorian royal family?!

As the strongest branch of the military in Victoria, one of the predecessor countries of the Empire, the Steam Knights were top-notch in Terra in both individual combat and coordinated combat capabilities. During Victoria's heyday, countless battles ended with the roar of steam and the sight of these behemoths descending from the sky.

One Steam Knight placed on the battlefield of a small battle is enough to change the situation of the war. If ten Steam Knights are deployed collectively, it is enough to make any neighboring country ready for battle.

Now, several steam knights appeared here, and Gawain had to consider the meaning behind this.

There is no doubt that the Holy Terra Empire discovered the identity of Vina Aslan's bloodline and sent the Steam Knights here specifically to arrest her!

Damn, when was it exposed? Why didn’t even he notice it?

Gawain, who was standing in front of Vina, had no time to think. He just arched his body, opened his mouth to reveal his sharp teeth, and growled at the huge monsters in front of him.

A few Steam Knights who were powerful enough to change a battle appeared here just to maintain law and order? This statement could only deceive ordinary people who didn't know the truth. For Gawain, who knew the power of the Steam Knights, he didn't believe a word these people said when they appeared.

Therefore, in order to protect Vina's safety, Gawain breathed at the steam knights in front of him with the most resolute attitude.

Chapter 205: Large Cat Lover TV, the Embarrassed Beast Master

"Vina, go!"

boom! boom! boom!

On the battlefield, Gawain's shouts were mixed in with the roars.

The beast master, who had already determined that these enemies came for Vina, obviously intended to use his own life to buy time for Vina to escape.

The gang members around who were unaware of the truth had already dispersed the moment Gawain started fighting with the members of the New Empire Security Force who arrived at the scene in imitation Steam Knight power armor. As for Vina, she and her companions looked towards the center of the battlefield with a look of pity.

It was because at this moment Gawain was being unilaterally beaten by several members of the New Empire Security Force who were driving imitation Steam Knight power armor.

In fact, this is also normal. After all, apart from the blessing of immortality, the strength of most beast masters is still far from the real top combat power on the land of Terra. Even if they have various special powers, in Terra, a world where numbers are king, facing several members of the Imperial Security Force driving imitation Steam Knight power armor at the same time, it is normal to be put on the spot like a cat-watching show.

Looking at the golden-haired Haki lion who was surrounded by several imitation steam knight power armors, being hit back and forth like a furry ball, having been beaten to the point of being unconscious, with each of his four legs having its own ideas and unable to even stand steadily, Vina could not hold it any longer.

"Stop! I'm Alexandrina Vina Victoria. Leave my teacher alone. If you have any problems, come to me!"

Upon hearing this, several imitation Steam Knight power armors stopped moving, and several members of the New Empire Security Force who were driving the mechas looked at each other.

"Assign two members to recapture those who have escaped. The rest of the group will take these people away and report them to His Majesty for his decision."

To be honest, these members of the New Empire Security Force, who were originally selected to become drivers of the imitation Steam Knight power armor simply because of their loyalty, did not actually know the Beast Master. Only a few people on this land knew of the Beast Master's existence, but they recognized Vina's surname.

Daring to call herself by the surname of the former Victorian royal family, this little girl has undoubtedly revealed her identity as a "remnant of the previous dynasty".

The appearance of a former member of the Victorian royal family in Londinium was clearly beyond their authority to handle, and they had to report it to His Majesty for his decision.

So after leaving two members behind, the rest of the New Empire Security Force left with Gawain and Vina, the remnant of the previous dynasty who suddenly exposed himself.

......

Londinium, Royal Palace.

"I see, is that what happened?"

Looking at the contents of the document on the table in front of her, Talula nodded in understanding, then turned to look at Anxiu beside her.

"An Xiu, what do you think?"

"I sit and watch."

An Xiu, who was just checking his points balance, closed the system panel upon hearing this, and then spoke indifferently.

"She's just a young girl with former Aslan royal blood. It's entirely up to you, Ata, to decide how to deal with her."
