Chapter 523 Three Major Advantages
"Hahaha, what a bunch of stupid people who don't know how to live or die."
Close minister Oster laughed with his beer belly: "No one can offend the majesty of Her Majesty the Queen. The behavior of the enemy is the same as sending someone to death."
"Oster, tell me what you think." The queen held her head, showing no signs of happiness or anger.
"Your Majesty, we are the ones protected by the goddess. We are destined to win."
The minister squinted his eyes: "We have three major advantages."
"First, the enemy army is not familiar with our country's terrain, and the Dragon Tower Empire's advantage lies in its navy, and landing operations is a disadvantage."
"Second, the enemy has no determination and has declared war on us by reinforcing the rebels. This shows that the enemy has left a way out. The more there is a way out, the easier it is to fail."
"Third, Her Majesty the Queen is extremely capable. The country's power has increased dramatically in recent years. Everyone in the empire is willing to swear loyalty to her. I believe victory is within easy reach."
"Well said."
The queen's brows relaxed, she didn't expect that she had such a good chance of winning.
"Moreover, the southern part of the empire is guarded by the most powerful Lord Protector of Ashes. His strength is enough to resist the Kingdom of Franvia."
Due to the special system of the Griffin Empire, similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the "princes" within the empire were either strong or weak.
"The Archduke of Ashes owns three wealthy plain provinces, and the territory alone is equivalent to a quarter of the size of Flanvia."
"That makes sense, but we need more supplies." The Queen shook her head.
"Pass my order! Collect war taxes from the peasants in the empire. The empire has given them enough kindness, and they should repay the empire."
"Telling all the nobles about this and urging them to assemble more private armed forces is still the same time and place."
"My marshals, assemble the main army of the empire and prepare for battle."
"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen!"
Everyone agreed and left.
The Queen slowly came to the garden, where a little golden griffon was being groomed and fed by the servants.
"Your Majesty the Queen, are you feeling any pressure?" the little griffon said.
The Queen waved her hand and signaled the servants to leave.
"There are some, I really didn't expect that they would be declared war by Dragon Tower and Franvia, two greedy wild dogs." The Queen picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "But fortunately, the empire's power is not worse than them."
"In this battle, we have to show some trump cards." The little gryphon nodded, "But be careful not to mobilize the chosen ones from the direct line of the elves and demi-humans. Never."
"No problem." The queen's lips curved into a beautiful smile.
"This time, the Duke of Ashes will be in bad luck. He borders Franvia, and the main battlefield is right there. If the cavalry regiment steps over, all the food in his territory will be reduced to rubbish."
The territory of the Duke of Ashes has the most fertile soil in the empire.
"Isn't it a bit... to weaken the power of the nobles at this time?"
The little griffon pondered for a moment and said tentatively: "Although the Grand Duke of Ashes does not deal with our griffin family on weekdays, he is still a compatriot of the same country and nation. If he does too much..."
"How can you call your own people if you don't deal with them?"
The Queen didn't take it seriously, and even thought to herself: It would be great if the Duke of Ashes died in the battle and extinguished his heirs. Her family would simply take three wealthy provinces for nothing.
This is no longer the land of the "empire", but her personal and family land. It makes me happy to think about it.
What kind of Grand Duke of Ashes protects the country? Sorry, we are really not familiar with him.
"I'm going to the ball to socialize first. After all, the sun is coming. There are many balls and performances waiting for me to attend."
The next day, God descended upon the sun.
Field was awakened early in the morning by restless fighting spirit.
With a little movement, Dou Qi is running crazily, and the speed of cultivation is greatly increased.
"Holy shit, there's really a tide of divine power, even the fighting spirit is running much smoother." Fielder was amazed.
"Good day, my lord, may the glory of the goddess shine on your future." Kao, the butler, came to say hello early in the morning.
"Good day." Field smiled and nodded.
"I have checked the celebration procedures twice and there are no problems. I distributed the coupons in exchange for food yesterday."
"Haha, it's very good, but don't be too nervous." Field waved his hand, "It's just a celebration. Don't be too harsh on everyone, just prevent crime."
"You are always so kind and forgiving."
The residents of Night Territory fell into a sea of joy. On both sides of several main roads in the town, long flags commonly used by nobles have been hung. The patterns with black background and gold patterns made the originally ordinary Fengqizhen immediately become solemn and noble.
The lord built a stage in the center of the town and prepared a lot of wood to prepare for a bonfire dinner.
They were even told that today's food would be given away for free, as long as they relied on the exchange coupons issued a few days ago.
"Wow, it's so lively."
The night owl's gray dove spun around happily.
On the street, you can see people playing songs or playing with earthen instruments everywhere. They are not professionals, but just showing off their hobbies.
The citizens wandered around the town, and the parks and commercial streets were crowded with people.
"That's right, I never thought that people in the Night Leader could be so happy."
Ellin no longer had a bad look on her face, but just like an ordinary girl, she was just having fun.
"Even the hometown in my memory is not that lively."
Gray Pigeon was in a daze. His hometown was in Canghai Province, which was a lifeless place. Even when a child is born, the citizens will always have numb and painful expressions, let alone any celebrations.
No matter what day it is, you have to work and pay taxes to the lord. Celebrations have always belonged to the nobles.
"Field is a tolerant and good man. He is different from other nobles. The Night Territory is also different from other places. It is clean and peaceful. No one will starve to death or be hanged for no reason."
"If I were born in his territory, it would be great. I wouldn't have to suffer so much." Erlin saw the little civilian girl holding candy.
She seemed to see herself in the past, but she was miserable at that time.
Living in a stinking alley, snatching kitchen waste with wild dogs all day long, and even stealing cattle and horse feed when she was too hungry.
There was no way, she was too thin at that time and didn't even qualify to be a slave.
Later, they were kept in captivity by a mysterious organization and learned how to kill cruelly.
She was even a little jealous, jealous of the little girls here.
"Hey~ Don't you hate Field very much?" Gray Pigeon covered his mouth and laughed.
Erlin was furious: "Who called him a bastard? I will never forgive him in my life."
"Everyone go to the square, there are free skewers and juice!"
Yexiao and the others hurried to the square and saw Field riding a tall horse at first sight.
Feier waved slightly at the crowd, and the people cheered loudly without even giving a speech.
