Orc Tyrant

"The animalized man is finished?"

Surprising voices looped between the white marble pillars, brushing across the magnificent dome and the creation myth depicted on it. On the colorful glass windows are patterns of flying phoenix wings, and the sunlight reflects from many angles. When it came down, it was reflected on the surrounding magnificent curtain by the smooth marble floor.

The Phoenix Palace, the power core of the Harpy Kingdom, stands at the highest point of the nest city. It consists of a main hall, four auxiliary halls, and thirteen towers. It is a miracle in the history of engineering. One of the oldest buildings in the world, many scholars in the past even ventured into the flame plateau under the threat of being captured as slaves, just to get a glimpse of this magnificent creation.

The owner of the palace, the current sky queen Isabella III, stands proudly on the ancient throne-the nest of the ashes. She has a gorgeous golden feather, graceful and elegant, without the weird feeling of a low-level banshee at all. The perfect combination of noble beautiful women and gorgeous birds and birds, colorful feather coats draped over the body, dimly covering the bare skin, and a dazzling red hair under the simple colorful crown.

Because it is a pure matriarchal society, the Harpy Kingdom has no real dynasty inheritance. There are many ways for a queen to choose a successor. It may be appearance or conspiracy, but in any case, it has nothing to do with their father. , Although the queens will respect their biological father and place him properly.

Below the high-hanging throne, there are neatly arranged two teams of banshees with solemn expressions. The feathers on their bodies are all glamorous without exception. These two queues respectively symbolize the nobles and officials of the kingdom, which also support the entire banshee kingdom. The basic system of operation, because it has been outside the civilized world for a long time, the system of the Harpy Kingdom is still maintained in the ancient past, the era when kings and nobles played with the game of power all day long.

Standing between the teams, the old banshee reporting to the queen is the Vizier of the kingdom, which is equivalent to the prime minister of the human world in the past. This position is usually held by the queen's relatives, such as the aunt.

"Yes, your Majesty, the four-family united force is all over. Oak kicks their **** all the way, like a cat chasing a mouse."

The old Vizier has a hoarse, but sonorous voice. She has been assisting the young queen for almost eight years. She is a tough and capable politician, but also the biggest obstacle in the hearts of the reformists of the kingdom.

"They... won't come to us?"

The queen's voice was soft and full of sorrow, her slender eyebrows squeezed together, and her inner insecurity was written on her face.

Seeing this, her aunt sighed secretly, and couldn't help but doubt her sister's choice. In this era of turbulent times, is it really okay to let the flowers in a greenhouse bear the responsibility of the entire kingdom? Even though she has the most sacred feathers on her body, she behaves like a dreaming human princess, and even her bedroom is full of disgusting knight novels.

"If they dare to come! We will let them know what the true anger of the **** of beasts is!"

A banshee wearing a light armor and a thin sword hanging from her waist stood up. She was graceful like a swan, with an emerald plume, and her appearance was somewhat similar to that of the queen, but she was more heroic and arrogant.

She glanced at Vizier and continued:

"But the premise is that we have to have more advanced weapons and more complete logistics."

The words of this banshee noble made Vizier's brows frowned, and even the nobles and officials in the surrounding line began to whisper because she took the topic in another dangerous direction-reform.

Although they have been isolated from humans for a long time, the harpymen are not ignorant of the development of the world. With the smuggled books, scientific and rational ideas are continuously reflected in the upper class. Some nobles and officials who are unwilling to continue to sink into this ancient country have begun to propose The slogan to learn from humans, but it also stimulated a backlash in religious power.

Because of the past history, the Church of the Beast God was extremely hostile to everything in human society, let alone their thoughts. This also affected many nobles' views on reform, which they felt was frivolous and dangerous.

Such discussions have continued for hundreds of years. Human influence is still infiltrating. Firearms have begun to spread in the army of the harpy. Cannons have strengthened the nest city. Steam spinning mills have also begun to appear. Merchants who are stronger than untouchables have become more powerful, and even the queen has to borrow from them to maintain the decent royal family.

But in the political arena, discussing change is still a dangerous move, because human beings bring not only technology, but also their thoughts. That kind of thought has caused the heads of several human kings to fall, and it has also caused it in the human kingdom. Great turmoil and destruction.

"The kingdom's standing army is already under construction. There are already three divisions."

Vizier is an old-fashioned politician. She did not choose to take the other party’s words. Instead, she directed the matter to the purely military aspect. The lord of the Golden Falcon City is known as the pioneer of reform, but her intention of reform is for the kingdom and her Sister lifted the throne? Vizier has reason to suspect the latter.

"Three divisions? My dear aunt, a small principality can arm ten divisions with thousands of cannons, but we are complacent because of three divisions? And I know that at least half of those three divisions still hold them. Bows and arrows! The proportion of new rifles is less than three percent!"

"Ava, things always have to come one step at a time. The new rifle itself is expensive, and the kingdom does not have that much budget to purchase. Don't you know what the virtues of those smuggling merchants are?"

"That dung-like finances of course can't do anything! But why was the proposal to establish a new-style arsenal rejected!?"

Hearing her words, the Sky High Priest who hadn't spoken stood up. She shook the robe on her body and said loudly:

"Every nest city is a sacred shelter given to us by the **** of beasts..."

"Stop your clichés! I hope you can still preach to them when Oak pushes you to the ground and pulls out your feathers!"

"you!"

"enough!"

Isabella, who has endured for a long time, finally speaks. With her rebuke, the invisible power swept through the hearts of every banshee present. This was both a shock and a comfort, no matter what her personality was, but at least every queen of the sky did. Is a top wizard.

The three banshees who were still arguing also had to stop, turned and bowed to the queen.

"We are guilty."

Regardless of whether the words were insincere or not, the agitating Hanan's force subsided, and the queen looked at her aunt, sister and mentor, her eyes showing a sense of helplessness.

She sighed and whispered in a sad tone:

"My dear subjects and relatives, quarrels with each other will only weaken the power of the kingdom. At this time of crisis, I hope you can let go of your prejudices so that our people can avoid this disaster."

"Follow the king's order."

All the banshees present bowed their heads to salute.

After straightening up, the high priest of the Sky Temple spoke again.

"In fact, the temple sent assassins to know the leader of Ouke a month ago, but now it seems that they have failed."

"Is there anything else? I never heard you mention it."

The queen was very surprised at this. Before today, her concept of Oak was only in books. After all, that place was too far away from here.

"Return to your Majesty, the temple has been doing this for more than once."

"Why?"

"Maybe you have forgotten your majesty. The second chapter of the fourth chapter of the sky decree clearly states that Ouke is a catastrophe of eternity, and you must not remove the trapped beast."

"It seems... so."

"So it seems that the oracle is not what some people say... illusory."

After the high priest finished speaking, he glanced at Ava sideways, and the other party just responded with a cold snort.

"Then next, is there any good way to deal with it?"

"Your Majesty, I have conscripted the Grey Wind, the Yan Pheasant regiments, and five militia regiments. They will be dispatched to the Beak Ridge area for defense, and the military plans to build seven nests in the defense area as support points. Improve the defense system there."

Vizier was clearly prepared. After listening to her report, Isabella III couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, her expression eased, and her warm smile returned to her beautiful face.

"Just follow this plan, yes, now that the defense zone has been delimited, the garrison general is..."

Due to the lack of a standing army in the Harpy Kingdom, there are no full-time generals, most of the time they are temporarily assigned nobles, and it is the same now.

Isabella III glanced down and saw her sister's eager expression. As soon as she was about to speak, her aunt had already said:

"Earl Morana, her territory is on the border, and she has long led a militia to fight against the beasts and has a wealth of experience against beasts."

"I object! Morana is too cautious. If the enemy is safe two hundred steps away from her, then she won't take two hundred and one step."

Ava immediately objected loudly. She took a few steps forward and said to her sister:

"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve as the garrison general of Beak Ridge!"

"Naughty!"

Vizier could no longer bear this little girl's arrogance and reprimanded loudly:

"You haven't even seen blood! Where does the courage come from to lead the army! Beak Ridge is the first barrier of the kingdom, and there is no room for loss. We are not going to counter Ouke, we just need to defend!"

Faced with another quarrel, Isabella III was in a dilemma, but in the end she chose to trust her aunt.

"Then let Earl Morana serve as the garrison general of Beak Ridge according to your aunt's decision."

"can……"

Her sister still wanted to talk, but the young queen waved.

"Just leave the court, sister, come to the backyard, I have something to tell you."
