Spellcasting Heavens

Your Majesty the Queen, this is an urgent document just sent from the border. Please read and approve it as soon as possible.

Your Majesty, this is the financial expenditure in recent months. I must remind you that with the fall of a large part of the country, our taxes are no longer enough to support such a large-scale army. In three to four months at most, the precarious finances of the national treasury will be Bankruptcy.”

There were riots! Because of the war, the prices of daily necessities such as food, meat, vegetables and cloth tripled in a short period of time. Poor people's riots broke out in many areas, including the capital. Although in the end there were no Exceptions have been suppressed, but if the problem is not resolved, I believe it will not take long for the riots to resurge.

…

Listening to the government affairs submitted one by one by the ministers and advisors, Villa held her forehead, a tired look on her beautiful face.

Without taking over this devastated country, she never dreamed that the situation had gotten so bad. Even if Kerwin did not launch a final attack, as long as the stalemate lasted for a few months, the kingdom would slide into the abyss of destruction.

After being silent for a full minute, she raised her head and looked at Iseult, who had remained silent all this time: Master, how are you preparing that thing?

It has been made! It can be used as a weapon on the battlefield at any time! In addition, you only have about half a month to prepare, and a war must be launched after half a month. The old man replied in the affirmative without thinking, with an unabashed look in his eyes. of excitement and anticipation.

As a spellcaster, nothing brings him greater physical and mental pleasure than crafting a weapon of great destructive power.

Especially the mysterious substance wrapped in energy gave him a strong impulse to research.

Because so far, there is no kind of magical energy that can rival these seemingly inconspicuous gadgets in terms of destructive power.

Very good! Then let us know, withdraw half of the army from the front line and send it to the military town bordering the Principality of Pork in the southeast. Half a month later, formally declare war on the Principality and tell Grand Duke Sith II to either surrender or There is no third way to death. Villa firmly grasped the armrest of the throne and gave the order firmly.

However, this order immediately surprised the ministers and nobles in the room.

Among them, Duke Brunhilda, who had surrendered her rights and only had the right to observe, asked unceremoniously: Are you crazy? We are now fighting the traitor Kerwin! You actually want to do it again? Provoking another country? Didn’t it cause the kingdom to perish quickly enough?”

No! It's you who don't understand the situation! Our war with Kerwin is over! From now on, he will not launch attacks on the remaining lands of the kingdom, but he will not return those captured parts either. In short In short, we are now in a delicate peace reality. Rather than risking this hard nut, it is better to find a relatively weak opponent and tear the opponent's flesh and blood to make up for the kingdom's losses. The land area of ​​the Principality of Bok is only half of the kingdom. , which is just equivalent to our current strength. As long as the enemy's main force can be defeated unexpectedly in the battle, then the kingdom can annex the principality and restore part of its strength. Vilia explained seriously while tapping the table with his right index finger.

Of course, she was not stupid enough to say her loyalty to another person in public, let alone tell these conservative ministers and nobles that the kingdom would no longer have peace in the future, but would continue to wage war until it finally collapsed. .

The so-called drinking poison to quench thirst probably refers to her current situation.

He clearly knew that waging continuous wars was the path to destruction, but if he chose to take this path, the kingdom would not even have a chance to destroy itself, and it would be swallowed up by Kerwin, who was eyeing him.

Rather than fail in despair and pain, she would rather her country be divided amid strong expansion.

What? A truce! He already has the advantage, why should he truce? Another Duke stood up and asked impatiently.

Not only him, but most of the people in the meeting hall were confused except for two insiders.

But Vilia obviously didn't want to dwell on this issue and directly changed the subject: This is a secret. I don't want to say it yet. All you have to do is obey my orders. Otherwise, I will deprive him of his rights as queen. Noble titles and territories. Okay, that’s it for today’s meeting. Let’s all take action. In half a month, I hope to see a brilliant victory.”

After saying that, she immediately waved her hand to signal the ministers and nobles to leave.

Although many people were reluctant to leave and wanted to stay and ask questions, Iseult's threatening gaze made no one dare to make a mistake and they all chose to leave obediently.

You must know that the bloody palace coup happened not long ago. Even the smell of blood and coldness still lingers in the air, reminding everyone who tries to cross the line that the young girl sitting on the throne is no longer that person. The princess who is loved by everyone is the queen who holds the power of life and death.

After the last person disappeared from the corner of the corridor outside the door, Villa asked in an uncertain tone: Master, are you sure that weapon can help us win a crucial victory?

Iseult nodded without thinking: Yes! I am very sure and sure! Don't forget, this is a gift from the great master, and his wisdom is something you and I can never match. Don't doubt, don't hesitate. , as long as we obediently follow the direction of his fingers, we will be able to gain victory one after another. Believe me, this country will move towards glory under your rule. Maybe a few years later, when someone mentions Queen Vilia, they will not be able to bear it. I praised her loudly, she is a heroic woman who puts all men to shame.

Hero among women? Hahahaha! You really know how to joke. We all know that I am actually a puppet on strings. Not many decisions come from my heart. We are all servants, chess pieces controlled by the master, nothing more. . Villa laughed and laughed at herself.

From the bitter tone, it was easy to tell that her life was not happy at all, but full of pain and struggle.

Victories are written by the victors! And almost all history books and biographies praise the emperors and conquerors who established huge territories. People don't care what kind of stories are hidden behind those great victories. They I just want to put myself into the emperor and experience the arrogance and arrogance. Well, don’t be so discouraged. I will take you to see the power of that weapon now. Once you see it with your own eyes, you will understand that all the weapons in the world The army is as fragile as a newborn baby in front of it...
