"Excuse me, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I just suddenly thought of something." Odis waved his hand. As long as the Black Queen didn't come in person, there would be no problem. Odis said that he had never heard of the words of the vampire prince Akado.
"Archbishop, I hope you can publicly declare your support for Princess Lilia, and call on the civilians and slaves of the Kingdom of Lufen who are willing to support Princess Lilia to come to my territory."
"If you and I act as guarantors, the human nations should be able to provide these people with some convenience so that they can come to my territory alive."
Eleonora did not answer immediately, but walked to the door. Yesterday, she and Iris saw a lot of things in this Liyue City. The civilians here live very well, and most importantly, there are no slaves.
Eleonora had heard rumors about slave liberators in Odis before, but even in the Holy Kingdom and the Church, there were slaves. And here in Odis... there were actually slaves.
Well, those Warcraft and dark elves have no human rights and are not recognized as intelligent creatures by the entire continent, so they cannot be considered slaves. To be precise, they are even worse than slaves.
This made Eleonora feel that Odis was a good person, at least he was not a cruel tyrant. Moreover, Odis actually went to the farmland in person today to care about agriculture, which surprised Eleonora.
Because except for Odysseus, she had never seen the king personally go to the farmland to investigate these things.
"I can make the call as an individual, but I can't guarantee the Pope's support."
"I'd like to trouble the Bishop to ask about this."
Odis did not ask for anything excessively. If the other party was willing to help, it was a favor. If he was unwilling to help, it was his duty. In fact, what he did was close to moral kidnapping. If it were people from other countries, they would have to ask for some benefits. Only the person in front of him, the serious saint of the system, would do it without asking for anything.
"It's okay. Everything is for humanity." After that, Eleonora stood up, walked to the window, and asked Odis: "Lord Odis, I'm asking you a question. If you don't like it, you don't have to answer it, but please don't lie to me."
"You may ask, Archbishop."
"May I ask Lord Odis, if the problem of the land being uncultivated cannot be solved, what will Lord Odis do?"
As she spoke, Eleonora raised her eyes slightly, and her blue pupils shone with a hint of golden light. This was not a spell, but a vision of being Perro's glorious servant.
Although there was no magic, Odis felt a great pressure. Eleonora's question was very touching. Odis' lips opened and closed slightly, but he could not answer for a long time.
He didn't want to deceive anyone, especially someone who was truly a moral saint.
Eleonora did not urge him. She just leaned against the window and looked at Odis quietly. Her eyes were as calm as water, but with a bit of expectation.
"I will lead my army to attack other territories and survive with my people."
Odis did not say where specifically they would attack, but both of them knew it well that this continent was so small, and except for the northern area that no one cared about, other areas had already been occupied by the countries on the continent. If Odis wanted to survive, he could only go to war with other countries!
"Very good answer. You will be a very wise king."
Eleonora did not object to this answer, but smiled calmly, with a look of even stronger admiration for Odis in her eyes.
"You're not angry?"
"Why should I be angry?"
"I am going to go to war with other countries."
"I never think it's wrong for a king to lead his people to survive. In this matter, there is no good or bad, only a stance."
Odis listened to Eleonora's words and seemed to finally understand why the system said that the woman in front of him was a true saint. No, perhaps only such a person was worthy of being called a saint.
Be natural, understand right from wrong, and know the ways of the world. You can sacrifice your own interests for the survival of the race, speak up for the weak unconditionally, and face up to the good and bad, right and wrong that come with different positions.
"Thank you for your understanding, Archbishop. I just hope that the people of Shivaash Territory can live in peace."
Odis saluted Eleonora not because of her identity, but because of her character. You don't have to be a saint, but you shouldn't laugh at people who sacrifice their own interests and lives for the country and the race.
Next, Odysseus began to ask when the support from the Holy Kingdom would be delivered, because Eleonora had promised to provide manpower and material resources to help Shivaash Territory build the temple.
Eleonora said that they had communicated with the Holy See before they left, and the construction materials and craftsmen had already been sent to the north under the escort of the Holy Knights.
After receiving this news, Odis once again expressed his gratitude to Eleonora. Seeing that today's work was done, Odis planned to return to the City Lord's Mansion to arrange the location of the small temple and the construction of Xumi.
But when he reached the door, he found that sisters Iris and Ramrem were waiting for him and Eleonora at the door.
Odis knew that it was probably because Iris failed to solve the problem of Ram's horn. Odis had asked the system about this matter. The system said that Ram's talent was envied by the gods, and that the horn was broken was her fate. If she could survive it, Ram would grow into one of the strongest people in that world. But the problem was that Ram could not survive this disaster for her sister Rem.
Chapter 97: The Black Queen's Revenge
According to the system, in the original world, Ram's horn could not be healed, but now that the world has changed, it is possible. However, in this way, Ram's original growth limit will be greatly reduced.
Because the two worlds are different, Ram's horn originally represented the original power of wind in the re0 world. Once Ram grows up, her power will be second only to the jealous witch Shatira who devoured half of the re0 world and the son of the world Reinhard in the re0 world.
If it were the world where Odis is now, Ram's growth limit would be a demigod, and he would have to be a more powerful demigod at that.
"Archbishop, it seems I still need your help with this matter!"
Odis looked at Eleonora who was about to send him away. The two had discussed this issue before, and Eleonora was willing to treat Ram.
"Well, I'll try my best."
Eleonora showed a gentle smile and looked at Ram. She liked this lovely little girl very much, especially because Ram was very polite and well-behaved.
"Thank you, Archbishop."
When Ram and Rem heard each other's words, they immediately lifted their skirts at the same time and saluted Eleonora.
"Then Ram, you stay here for a while, and let the archbishop treat you. Let Rem go back with me." Odis made the arrangements and took Rem back to the City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, it was almost dark, and Odis was a little hungry, so he sent someone to invite Wolfe over, intending that the two brothers could eat and talk while resolving the impending revenge of the Black Queen.
With Luca delivering the message, Wolfe arrived soon, and the two of them had dinner in the restaurant of the city lord's mansion. There were three people who were worried about the maids, one was Rem, the other was Luca, and the last one was the dark elf knight Chloe who looked unwilling and angry.
Odis let her come on purpose. In addition to using humiliation to undermine the other party's heart, it also showed his trust and reliance on his elder brother Wolfe.
Although these things were routines that had been used to death by the ancients in the original world, they are surprisingly useful in this world.
When Wolfe arrived, Odis opened the middle door, went down the steps to the main entrance to greet him, and said, "Brother, you have worked hard these days. Let me treat you to a good meal today so that you can have a chat."
Wolfe naturally agreed to Odis's words. He was quite satisfied with this lord who trusted him and did not hinder him at all. Moreover, in Wolfe's eyes, Odis really regarded him as his elder brother.
So, the sworn brothers walked into the restaurant hand in hand. When Wolfe walked in, he was stunned at first, because he found that Chloe was there too, which made him curious.
"Brother, please!"
The seat that Odis prepared for Wolfe was on his right, and he sat facing south with his back to the north. Soon, Luca came over with the food, giving one portion to Rem and one portion to Chloe.
Poor Chloe, she had never been a maid before. It could be said that she felt greatly insulted at this moment. Her pair of silver teeth were grinding, but whether it was the slave collar on her neck or the obscene pattern on her lower abdomen, she had to listen to the other party.
Even though her eyes were blazing with fire, Chloe could only serve food and pour wine for Odis with her eyes blazing with fire.
"I also want to thank you for giving me this gift, big brother. If it weren't for her, I really wouldn't have known about the Black Queen's plan. When we conquer the Black Castle and capture the Black Queen alive in the future, I will definitely credit you with the credit!"
Odis smiled and raised his glass to Wolf. What they drank was not red wine, of course, but strong liquor from the dwarves. After all, one of them was a knight and the other was a mercenary. They hated the effeminate behavior of the nobles the most.
Wolfe quickly raised his glass, and Rem beside him obediently poured wine for Wolfe. After the two drank a glass, Wolfe asked Odis why he was called here this time.
Odis did not keep the audience in suspense and directly stated that the Black Queen would retaliate against the territory in the next seven days.
"Sir, is the information accurate?"
This matter is not a trivial matter. Wolfe's face instantly became serious, and there was a bit more murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at Chloe. How could this matter be known by this dark elf?
"There is no information. I just guessed it. You should know Chloe's identity. I tortured her and got a lot of information. The reason why she appeared in Khanduras is because..."
Odis told Wolfe about Chloe and the Black Queen, and Wolfe's body trembled. There was basically no one in this world who was not afraid of the Black Queen. When Wolfe heard that the Black Queen was going to be deified, his face turned pale.
"I see. So the reason the Black Queen sent a war was not actually for her, but for Princess Lilia?"
As the world's top military talent, Wolfe saw through the Black Queen's purpose at a glance. If the Black Queen wanted to refine a short-term divine potion, she had to obtain the holy light energy in Lilia's body. Therefore, the Black Queen's attack on the Shiva Ash Territory this time could not be a pretense, but a real monster siege!
The North was a plain, and there was no strong pass like the Seven Shield Alliance to defend. In fact, Odis had never thought of defending. For him, attacking as defense and taking the initiative were his consistent principles.
"Yes, so I hope Brother Wolfe can ask Hicks to gather intelligence, preferably to find out the troop deployment and commander of those monsters."
Odis naturally couldn't say that he already knew that the leader of the monsters was the vampire prince Akado, because there was no reasonable source of information. As for the vampire prince Akado, Odis knew about this monster. Although Akado was treated like the third grandson of the Black Queen, he was a monster with a terrifying reputation on the continent, and he could also stop children from crying at night.
In a sense, it is much higher than Odis's current legendary level.
"No problem, I'll arrange for Hicks to investigate later." Wolfe agreed immediately. This matter was too big and it was related to the survival of the Shivaash Territory, so Wolfe did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
"Brother, if you recruit with all your strength now, how many troops can you gather?"
Odis nodded in satisfaction, and then asked again. This question made Wolfe look bitter, but he had to answer truthfully.
Chapter 98: Silky Milk Chocolate Thighs
Wolfe's army was of a mercenary nature. Apart from his own Black Beast Mercenary Group as the base, most of the mercenaries who went out to fight were temporary mercenaries.
The number of Black Beast Mercenaries has reached more than 20,000 after years of expansion, and they are all elite. However, the number of mercenaries coming from the omens is even greater, about 30,000. It is precisely because of this that Wolf has nearly 50,000 troops to attack the Black Queen's tribal gathering place and various monster groups.
Odis now asked him how many people he could recruit with all his strength. To be honest, Wolfe himself was not very clear, because he had never recruited mercenaries with all his strength.
In fact, although most of the mercenaries in the world are willing to obey the call of Wolf, the legendary mercenary, a considerable number of them have joined the Fourth Fortress and become Samira's subordinates.
Because, now in addition to Wolf, there is also Samira, a legendary mercenary. And Samira is now the fortress chief of the fourth fortress. In terms of status and position, she is even higher than Wolf.
If Wolfe had not been so generous and willing to share every piece of spoils and women he obtained with his subordinates, some members of the Black Beast Mercenary Group would probably have wanted to go to the Fourth Fortress to make a living.
You know, no one wants to live on the edge of a knife all their life. Those tired and exhausted mercenaries will choose to find a wife, have a baby and live a stable life.
And it is precisely these people who are the real masters among the mercenaries. After all, you will feel tired and exhausted. First of all, you have to live to that time.
Therefore, in the Fourth Fortress, although the mercenaries are less skilled than those in Wolf's place, accounting for about 40% of the number of mercenaries, there are many more experts than in Wolf's place.
Many of the people who came to Wolf to be recruited and to participate in the war were young mercenaries who were willing to risk their lives for a better future. Wolf had a promotion channel for mercenaries, because Odis gave him some quota to fill the best mercenaries into the regular army of the Black Beast Legion after the victory of the war.
After hesitating for a long time, Wolfe said to Odis earnestly: "To recruit with all our strength, we need to increase the bounty and pension by 30%, and increase the number of regular soldiers by about 3,000. If you agree, I estimate that we can recruit 50,000 to 70,000 mercenaries. However, the combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed."
"You know, sir, most of the mercenaries have lax discipline. Although their individual combat capability is good, their group combat capability is not that strong when it comes down to it."
"Besides, more conscripts may not necessarily be a good thing."
Wolfe's words were the complete truth. Mercenaries could be cannon fodder, but they were not capable of taking on important tasks. Over the years, only Wolfe's Black Beast Mercenary Group could be called an army. The others were not.
"It's okay. I didn't expect them to attack. I just wanted to hire these people to gather intelligence. The clearer the better. If they can bring back some tongues, I can give a higher reward. In addition, I need them to blockade and monitor the area around the territory. If they find the Black Queen's monster scouts, they should be captured alive if possible!"
Odis waved his hand, indicating that he was not optimistic about the combat effectiveness of these mercenaries. These people had poor discipline and were just a group of mobs on the battlefield. However, everyone has his own expertise. These mercenaries were experts in spying, assassination, counter-espionage, and counter-reconnaissance.
After listening to Odis's words, Wolfe nodded, thinking that mercenaries were indeed being used to the best effect, and said.
"There's nothing wrong with this, but isn't it a little early to call it up now?"
"It's okay. It's been nearly ten days since you brought Chloe back. The Black Queen's army should be ready to set off. Intelligence is the key to a battle. I suspect that the Black Queen's scouts have already appeared around the territory."
"Don't underestimate the Black Queen's subordinates. Those old monsters who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years are not so easy to deal with." After Odis finished speaking, he said to Chloe: "Tell me about the monster leaders on the Black Queen's side."
Chloe turned her head away, unwilling to pay attention to Odis. Odis sneered, then moved his fingers slightly, and instantly Chloe began to spasm all over her body, and arcs of electricity appeared on her body.
This is the power of the slave collar, and Odis also put a few small things in her body, causing Chloe's thighs, which were as smooth as silky milk chocolate, to constantly clench and then couldn't help loosening.
The dark elf girl who was constantly moaning and struggling was really unbearable to watch, but no one present at the moment regarded the dark elf as a human being. Wolf, Rem, and Luka all watched this scene coldly, without any change in their expressions or eyes.
About three minutes later, Chloe's body suddenly tensed up, and then as if all her strength was drained away, she collapsed into a puddle of mud.
"If she doesn't want to reveal the information, I have a solution. I recently recruited a poison master from Japan, Shamuhaza, who claims to be a fellow disciple of Kaguya, the chief priestess of the third fortress. He has many useful poisons and is especially good at forcing confessions through torture. Moreover, he has some poisonous insects that should be very useful to you, my Lord."
Wolfe looked at Chloe, who was still unwilling to speak at this time, and said something to Odis.
Poison Master? Odis was slightly stunned, as if he had thought of something. At this moment, the distant memory attacked him, and he seemed to remember that there was indeed such a person, and it seemed that in the plot of the game, he planned to use Kaguya's body as the seedbed of his poison.
Odis tapped his fingers on the table and said, "This is indeed a talented person."
"Oh? Is that so? Bring him to me tomorrow. I'll leave the gathering of intelligence and the recruitment of mercenaries to you, big brother!"
Wolfe said tactfully that the matter was urgent, so he left to make arrangements and did not stay. After personally seeing Wolfe off, Odis returned to the restaurant and continued eating.
However, this time he ate on top and Chloe ate on the bottom. The dark elf knight paid the price for her stubbornness. She was miserable now. Not only was her whole body trembling, but her toes were constantly tightening and loosening for some reason, and a strange sound was constantly echoing in the room.
Rem and Luca on the side picked up food and poured wine for Odis while letting him gently caress their bodies.
Chapter 99: As a man, who doesn’t want to have a party?
The next morning, Odis took Luca directly to Xumi. If the construction of Xumi before was just for the purpose of settling refugees, then the importance of Xumi would be much higher now.
Among the gods of mankind, there are still many reliable gods, such as Suni, the goddess of love and beauty. In addition to the two duties of love and beauty between men and women, she is also the god of mating and fertility. If you worship the goddess of love Suni, you can increase the population fertility rate of this city.
Odis said that he definitely did not want to worship the goddess of love, Suni, just because her followers liked to have sex.
Well, this goddess Shuni is a typical hedonist. She often holds banquets in the kingdom of God with a group of equally unreliable goddesses. The scene is quite exciting.
However, after so many years in this world, Odis knew that this goddess of the good camp was quite philanthropic. In the early days of human society, the Temple of Love was a kind of alien version of a club.
At that time, noble ladies who believed in the goddess of love would do some kind of work in the temple for a period of time. Sometimes, if they met a handsome man, the goddess would personally manifest an avatar or projection to fight.
Even now, some organizers of masked balls among the nobles are also priests of the temple of the goddess of love.
