In other words, this little earth beast is a golden descendant in beast form!

And so Caesar bestowed upon this little earth beast a great name… Arabi!

Is it really necessary to be so envious?

The two glowing eyes of the human and the beast stared at Cerudela, leaving Her Majesty the Queen speechless.

“You can buy it anytime on the streets of the North, and the taste is pretty much the same. There’s no need to make that face.”

Thanks to Queen Krydella's reforms, the Northern Kingdom has developed into an unprecedentedly powerful nation!

After Krydela expanded her territory to a certain extent, she completely stopped expanding and instead devoted all her efforts to assimilating these territories, thoroughly labeling them as the Northern Kingdom.

Those who were greedy, those who stirred up public opinion, and those who disrupted the order of the North were all sent by Caesar to guard the North... Everyone knows what the North of the North is like: a frozen wasteland!

Of course, to prevent these people from making any underhanded moves, Crydela still showed her "Caesar" side, dividing them into five groups to guard the frontier...

Seeing those people weeping bitterly, Krystal felt that she was indeed a great philanthropist. Look how moved they were! They were all crying!

With a unified centralized government in place, the next step is to address the people's livelihood issues... In order to ensure that every person in the Northern Kingdom can have enough to eat, Kerudela directly activated her racial talent.

The little crown burning with blue flames may not have these abilities, but the actor playing the role is very proficient in "farming"!

It was during this period that Crydella completely changed her foreign policy, shifting from annexation to defense, leaving both the Empire and the Rebel Alliance bewildered…

Hey lady, what are you doing?

We're all waiting for you to attack, so we can backstab you...

So you actually started farming?

No, we can't let farming succeed in the North!

As a result, both the Empire and the Rebel Army took action, attempting to disrupt the rare peace in the North.

But is Crydella someone to be trifled with?

You stepped on my ground!

No imperial soldier who entered the northern territory ever returned alive.

The rebels fared slightly better. Although they had the right to enter the northern country, they were constantly under surveillance and dared not make any rash moves. In the end, they had to return empty-handed.

Kerudela did not immediately eliminate the resistance, since they had not yet openly broken ties and there was no need to disrupt the stability of the current development phase.

The Northern Kingdom simply needs to continue developing; this is a national policy I learned in my previous life!

"If you guys are really beyond my control, then fine, take this!"

Seeing Esdeath and Aragaki's expressions, Crydella had no choice but to sit up from the sofa and then toss two grapes to them.

It wasn't done with hands...

Although they had eaten the grapes, the expressions of the man and the beast remained unchanged, instead revealing more regret.

Just then, the door to the room opened, and a white-haired figure walked in with a smile. It was none other than "Kindhearted Lady" Najendan, who seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Your Majesty, I have arrived!"

"Lord Kindhearted One, tell me what's going on!"

National affairs cannot be treated casually. Krydera immediately adjusted her posture and looked at Najendan seriously.

"Yes, Her Majesty's recent reforms have enabled the vast majority of people in the Northern Kingdom to enjoy hot meals, and their sense of belonging to the Northern Kingdom is growing stronger. They even praise you on the streets!"

Najendan's face was beaming with smiles. She had joined the army because she wanted to change the empire's corrupt state. But she never imagined that her dream would actually come true in the North.

I've never lived such a wealthy life before!

Kerudela has been using the Golden Descendants to work at the grassroots level, imparting knowledge and life skills, which is why the quality of life of the people of the North has been able to improve rapidly in a very short period of time.

The northern lands have become a colossal entity!

"That's why I say we should not only learn to save money, but also learn to use money wisely and where it's needed!"

"Tell me, how did they praise me?"

Krydella casually tossed a snack into her mouth, showing some interest in the information.

Although she was an empress, Kerudela was also compassionate towards her people. She would often ride her harbinger through different cities, giving the people of the North more confidence.

She had naturally heard many words of praise, but those people's words of praise all sounded like official jargon in front of her, which made Kerudela dislike them.

She preferred the idle chatter of the common people, because only in such places could she hear the real story.

"Yes, many people talk about you in their spare time!"

“Her Majesty the Queen may look small, but she has managed to feed us all. We are so grateful.”

"I also long to have a child as petite and adorable as Her Majesty the Empress."

"It's decided, from now on my clothing will resemble Her Majesty the Empress's."

"..."

There were many voices, most of which praised Krystra, but why couldn't she feel happy?

Click!Click!

After all, they were her beloved subjects, and Krydela couldn't just lay a hand on them. She could only vent her frustration on the snacks in her mouth, chewing them up fiercely…

"However, while people's livelihood is very important, we haven't fallen behind in military matters, have we, Lord Shanxin?"

"Of course, please rest assured that even in times of peace, we have no intention of slacking off and continue to train hard every day!"

"That's good."

Upon hearing this, Krystal's expression softened slightly, and she relaxed again, lying down on the sofa behind her.

"Han Yingjue, now it's your turn to feed me..."

"I believe that we will be able to launch a general offensive soon!"

Despite being in such a relaxed state, Krystal's words sent a jolt through everyone in the room…

The final battle is finally here!

PS:

I'm a bit tired, so I'll just post two updates for today and add more another day.

Kerritt & Hazel / Scarlet Eyes: Chapter 74 Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole

The Northern Kingdom had already begun preparing for the final battle. Cerlydella had long envisioned the worst-case scenario: the Northern Kingdom facing both the Empire and the Rebel Army simultaneously.

However, most of the rebels are also from the Empire, so it's not a problem to consider them as part of the same faction.

The empire can mobilize half of its forces, while the rebels can mobilize the other half; together, they form a complete "empire."

But Krydella didn't care. What did it matter how many enemies she had?

As long as the right method is found and the correct tactics are used, victory is a sure thing.

"However, before the entire army is mobilized, we still need to lure out the snakes lurking in the palace... I think that's what you're thinking too, right?"

Inside the palace's council chamber, Krydela had already summoned the four members of the assassination society, saying she had something very important to discuss with them.

Although the four realized the problem, they had no choice but to proceed despite the difficulties. After all, this was Crydella's stronghold. Even Barbara, an assassin with many years of infiltration experience, could not guarantee that she could escape alive, let alone with her four apprentices.

Therefore, they preferred to place their hopes for survival on the upcoming negotiations...

“You are absolutely right, Your Majesty.”

No one dared to contradict Krydella, especially when she exuded a tremendous sense of oppression.

Those who had witnessed Crydella's power understood perfectly well that even though she was now known as the "Wise Queen" among the people, that did not change her true nature...

They show no mercy when they start fighting!

During their time living in the Northern Kingdom's capital, the four of them had witnessed many scenes of Krydela executing her subordinates, so they could completely understand that... these things would eventually happen to them.

After all, the resistance is not just targeting the Empire, but any organization or force that has infringed upon their interests.

Previously, it was an empire. Because the empire was cruel and inhumane, the rebels could raise the banner of righteousness and launch a rebellion against the empire.

But now, the empire has declined…

The rebel leadership was certain that even in a full-scale war with the Empire, they had at least a 70/30 chance of winning.

However, with the rise of the Northern Empire, the balance was completely broken. Neither the Empire nor the Rebels could be considered weak wolf cubs in the face of the tiger of the North.

Therefore, they must unite to fight against the cold current from the north. It is likely that the empire and the resistance will not truly fight each other until the Northern Empire is completely destroyed.

So the question is, how will the Northern Empire be destroyed?

Of course, it's the death of Empress Crydella!

The reason why the Northern Kingdom rose to prominence in such a short time is obvious to anyone with discerning eyes: it was due to the reforms of Queen Cerlydella.

He single-handedly dragged a country forward until it became a world power that both empires and rebel groups feared!

Therefore, Crydella had long been a thorn in the side of those people in the south, and people cursed her to die every day, but these curses had little effect, after all, the strength of a demigod was no joke.

If you want to kill Crydella, you must use every means possible!

"So can you tell me? When exactly are the rebels coming to kill me? You should have already received the news, right?"

Krydella continued to savor the delicious food in the box, her casual tone as if she were asking "What should we eat tonight?", which sent chills down one's spine.

Even when facing assassination attempts from enemies, one can maintain composure, which cannot be explained simply by having a strong heart.

So Barbara, Melard, Taeko, and Chelsea clenched their hands, their expressions conflicted.

"They will make their move late tonight..."

After much deliberation, Barbara finally sighed and reluctantly revealed the entire rebel plan.

"I thought you were going to lie to me. What changed your mind?"

Krydella was somewhat surprised. Barbara had lived in the Northern Kingdom's palace for so long without revealing the assassination plan, which was enough to demonstrate her loyalty to the resistance.

Now, when Krydela asked, the old woman was no longer as sharp as before, but instead became peaceful.

Something clearly happened that she didn't know about...

"Because during my time living in the North, I discovered something."

"The Empire has no regard for the common people. Although there are rebels, they are few and far between, and most of their time is spent on distributing benefits... The only one that truly cares about the people, and even takes action to realize its own ideas, is the Northern Empire that you created."

"Therefore I choose to pledge my loyalty to you!"

Barbara pulled a short staff from her bosom, which immediately attracted the attention of her three apprentices.

"Is this the deputy leader's token?"

"Teacher, what are you going to do?"

Upon seeing the token, the three apprentices' expressions immediately changed. The reason their assassination society held such a high position within the resistance was due to the deputy leader's appreciation and the token given to them by the higher-ups.

As long as Barbara still holds that short staff, they will always be friends with the resistance, even if they break away from the resistance in the future.

However, Barbara completely ignored the gazes around her, forcefully snapped the cane that served as a token in half, and casually threw it on the ground as if it were trash.

"Haha, you're really funny!"

Seeing this incredibly familiar scene before her, even Crydella couldn't help but laugh, but Barbara's three students looked on with bewilderment.

"Teacher, why?"

"Because we have been abandoned by the resistance!"

Having spent decades in the assassination world, Barbara, after this period of investigation, has fully understood the resistance's plans.

He and his apprentice were bait to attract Crydella's attention, while the real killing move had already been prepared in secret.

Given the chance, the rebels would probably attack him directly, or even torture and kill his own disciples!

Since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being unjust!

Barbara was truly angered by the rebels' attitude, which is why she resolutely rebelled.

After hearing about the darkness of the resistance from their teacher, the disciple's expression also turned grim.

They had been focusing almost entirely on their lives in the North lately and hadn't thought about this aspect, but now…

"That's absolutely outrageous!"
