"So, what's your decision now?" Jerry asked Lei with a smile, leaning on the wall at the gate of the Empire's highest women's college, tilting his head and ogling the beauties coming in and out.

Lei scratched his head and said with some annoyance: "According to the rules of the Imperial Senate, I can't stay in the imperial capital unobtrusively. I am now a big noble with a fiefdom, and I must go to my own territory, especially my private army.

With such a large amount, the ministers of the imperial capital will not allow me to stay in the imperial capital for longer. However, my territory is divided on both sides of the empire. The two provinces in the east are connected, but the province in the west is connected with

Your areas are connected, where should I live?"

Jerry blew a kiss and looked at two little girls who were only fifteen or sixteen years old and fainted on the ground in excitement. He said in a glib tone: "Well, then, I suggest you live in the two rows on the east side.

Province. After all, in terms of climate, the two provinces in the east are close to the southwest and are much better to live in than the one in the northwest. Moreover, haven’t you noticed? The two provinces in the southeast happened to block the entry of the three principalities into the empire.

The inland route, the one in the northwest, also blocks the passage from the 'God-given grassland' to the interior of the empire."

Ray frowned, and Jerry smiled and said: "What about your relationship with Li, haha, I won't talk about it... However, it's just because of your favor in saving Master Hart and the others, plus at least 20,000

Many of the garrisons in the 'Sacred City' survived because of your bloody battles. Therefore, as long as your territory is there, if anything happens to the 'Sacred City', they will not be embarrassed to pass by your territory.

.As for the three principalities in the southeast, they are now provinces of the empire, but the people's customs are too strong. If you, with Rocart and the other three, are stationed there, then the remaining principalities will be obedient and obedient.

of?"

Lei was stunned, and Jerry concluded: "So, the person who proposed this reward plan is a fucking genius. Pushing you to the front, the 'Sacred City' and the three southeastern principalities that have severed ties with the mainland will

All threats to the empire have been eliminated. Moreover, your loyalty is known to the entire empire, because you do not have the bad habits of traditional aristocratic families. You do not pursue too much power. You control three people by yourself.

With a province and the 300,000 private troops under your command, at least the empire will be in peace for the next thirty years after the war, and no big noble will dare to confront you head-on?"

Jerry looked at Lei's puzzled face, smiled and whispered: "Don't forget, this generation of dynasty took advantage of the previous dynasty's extremely weakened national power after the war to rebel. It's hard to say what's going on inside the empire now.

Whether there are such nobles? If so, this is what His Majesty Shagru needs to worry about. Think about it, the number of male casualties in the empire exceeds 30 million, 30 million, Lei, the empire needs at least thirty years

In order to regain their strength, women need to continue to have children... The empire's treasury is basically empty. In order to cope with the requirements of the dragons, all the gold, silver and jewelry accumulated by the empire have been moved out, which is cheap.

Got rid of that bastard Carlin, he levied 50% of the so-called personal income tax from the Dragon Clan, damn it.”

Jerry cursed a few words angrily, and then said: "It seems that everything is calm inside the empire now, but I am afraid that there will be big fish under the water. If there is, it can swallow our Majesty Shagru."

Big fish. That's why His Majesty made such a distribution. Especially during non-war periods, the Five Beast Legion has always been in the hands of the military. Only when the war begins, the power is delegated to the legion commander.

But Lei, it seems that the military power of your Mad Dragon Legion has not been taken away?"

Lei was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly and said: "Yes, the military power of my Mad Dragon Legion... When I went to the military headquarters to hand over the power, the ministers of the military department said that the process could be delayed for a while, and it seemed that it was necessary.

I have more military strength on hand to cope with future events."

Jerry nodded, then shook his head and sighed: "I can imagine that in the next ten years, most of the empire's cultivated land will be deserted. At the same time, because there are not enough people to do business, the empire's economy will also fall into a trough. Maybe,

Ten years from now, there will be big fluctuations in the empire. At that time, it will be the time for your Lei's Mad Dragon Legion and your private army to show their power. Huh, our Fante Empire has suffered a lot in this sinner war.

Well, several other countries, except for the Bicester Empire, did not suffer much loss at all. In other words, the treasury was emptied."

While he was talking about such a serious topic, Jerry had a smile on his face, blowing kisses and winking eyes to the beautiful girls walking around him. As one of the two youngest dukes in the empire, Jerry

First, as one of the military bosses who holds military power, Jerry's image is much more handsome than the big bear-like Lei next to him. The girls kept screaming, regardless of their status as a noble lady.

He was more reserved. What a pity was Beamon next to Lei. Beamon, who had broken an arm, was standing in front of him stupidly. He had just recovered from the serious injury in the battle at the 'Senko' Pass. Alexander, who had a cold look on his face, looked like his arms were bigger than his.

Meng was even more terrifying, forcing the little girls not to come close, otherwise they would have rushed up and kissed Jerry forcefully.

Jerry let out a long breath, looked at Lei seriously, and stopped talking... After a while, Jerry gritted his teeth and whispered: "So, Lei, don't stay in the empire anymore.

, quickly go to your own territory to receive power. Lomathe can't leave with you this time, because although Lomaat owns a fief, he is still a mere marquis, not the kind of big noble who owns a province. He wants to stay in the imperial capital.

On standby at any time. However, you still have Inger, so you should be able to handle those complicated matters."

Jerry licked his lips and sighed in a low voice: "Reorganize the army carefully and quickly, Lei, if you are fast enough, I am afraid our empire can avoid a storm. As long as you have 600,000 in hand

With the army, plus the millions of troops that the three southeastern principalities can recruit at any time, no big noble dares to risk confronting you, especially when his own life cannot be guaranteed." Jerry smiled: "You should understand.

How terrifying a paladin is. If you want to assassinate that noble noble who is plotting to rebel, no one can stop you?"

Lei frowned and looked at Jerry in puzzlement: "Are you talking too seriously? It's as if someone will really rebel... However, I should also go to my own land and wander around. Haha

, that is to say, all the cultivated land in a province is my territory? Oh my god, how big a piece of land it is... Jerry, you should go and take a look. You can see rice on a plain under the sun.

The rippling situation is really the same as the sea. Although I have never seen the sea, rice waves are more beautiful than the sea."

Affected by Lei's good mood, Jerry couldn't help but laugh happily: "No matter whether someone is preparing to rebel or not, it is still necessary to at least prepare. Especially, the nobles in the imperial capital have begun not to welcome you, Lei... this

It's a rule in the aristocratic circle. You have a lot of troops and you own fiefdoms in three provinces. No matter what their relationship with you was before, these ministers in the imperial capital now regard you as the biggest threat.

You are too strong... Hey, look at those guys on the street corner over there. Do you think I don't recognize them as spies from the Security Department? Damn it, they've been staring at us too closely these days.

?”

Lei sighed: "Then, I really want to leave as soon as possible. I don't want to conflict with them. Tomorrow I will say goodbye to His Majesty and go to my own territory. Ha, the two southeastern provinces are rich in heavy metal mines. I can

It’s time to reorganize the equipment of your army. Also, an archer equipped with a full-metal longbow should be like a nightmare?"

Jerry laughed softly, but there was a hint of unspeakable worry in his eyes: "Lei, you go and take care of yourself. Sometimes, you have to make a choice about many things. If you want to choose, you must choose one

The best position for yourself... Hehe, don't look at me so strangely. Do you think I'm saying something strange? I mean, you should be married... You are different from me, I am less than four years old.

When I was ten years old, my family would not ask me to get married, because the family wanted me to choose a woman who could bring the greatest benefit to the family. But you, you will not learn from me and change a noble lady every day, so in order to avoid a lot of troubles

Trouble, you'd better get married as soon as possible."

Lei's face suddenly turned red, like the color of pig liver. Jerry looked at Lei with a smile, nodded and said: "Yes, we should get married. During the more than ten days you stayed in the imperial capital, you talked with me all day long.

Together with Miss Kelly, to be honest, Miss Kelly is very suitable for you... If it is a delicate aristocratic lady, I am afraid that one day you will get angry with their weird temper and will kill them directly...

Miss Kelly is a very good, outstanding girl. Although I know there are some things between you and Miss Li, wuwu, don’t hit me, I’m telling the truth.”

Jerry squatted on the ground holding his head and muttered: "Choose, choose to live with Miss Kelly, or meet Miss Li in a dream. You know very well that Miss Li will not abandon you."

When the 'City of Gods' comes to our empire, you have to make a good choice... Lei, sometimes, when something comes to pass, you have to make a choice."

So, Lei squatted in the corner of the wall and discussed with Jerry eagerly for an hour. After the traffic was blocked by the noble ladies who were watching, Lei finally stood up and shouted loudly: "Okay, it's decided.

I will go and tell His Majesty now that I will go to my territory to prepare for the wedding. Well, does it take half a year to prepare for the prince’s wedding? Then, in half a year, Kelly and I will get married.”

The surrounding aristocratic ladies screamed. They heard that Lei, the only prince with a foreign surname in the history of the empire, was going to get married. They were all stupidly waiting for pie in the sky. Even if Lei randomly grabbed a girl and proposed to him,

, they would agree without hesitation. However, Lei actually wanted to marry Keri, who had no reputation in the aristocratic circle and was unknown to these ladies. On the spot, more than thirty aristocratic ladies were severely hit.

He fainted on the spot.

Cold sweat dripped from the foreheads of Lei and Jerry. They immediately opened the way from Beamon, followed by Alexander, and hurried to the palace. There were complaints and curses from countless beauties behind them, even those who were watching Lei at the corner of the street.

The secret agents of the security department were also frightened and fled, not daring to provoke these girls whose dreams were shattered in their hearts.

One day later, the Vante Empire submitted official documents to the ministers of various countries. The imperial prince Lei will hold a wedding in six months. It is hoped that all countries will send important personnel to watch the ceremony. Shagru also squeezed out the empty treasury.

One hundred million gold coins were handed over to Lei as a pre-congratulatory gift from the emperor of the empire. You must know that Lei, a prince and dual-titled duke, could not find a single gold coin on his body. When the imperial capital fell, Lei kept his military pay and salary.

The treasury was also robbed by criminals.

When Lei led Keli towards his own territory, what he was thinking about was the cautious advice given to him by the forty-year-old Shagru: "Lei, the future of the empire depends on you.

Ready. You understand that the 100 million gold coins I gave you are more of a gift than military expenses. Your Mad Dragon Legion will be stationed in your province as a garrison and will be directly under your command. etc.

After the Flying Leopard Army and the Flying Phoenix Army are replenished, I will hand over the command of the army to you... As for your wedding, it may be able to attract most people's attention and avoid a storm. After all, a prince

Your wedding will be more important, and people’s attention will be attracted to it.”

Lei didn't understand what Shagru said. It seemed that Shagru understood that there would be a storm in the empire in six months. However, this was not what he was worried about. There was no need for Lei to stay in the imperial capital.

, leading the elite soldiers of the 100,000 Mad Dragon Legion, Lei followed the official road towards his territory. If a prince's wedding is not troublesome, it is similar to the wedding process of the common people. But if it is troublesome, then,

It's really a big trouble. There are at least about 10,000 nobles from the seven countries participating, and at least more than 200,000 people are accompanying them. It is necessary to prepare food, clothing, housing and transportation for so many people. Lei's scalp goes numb just thinking about it.

However, when he saw Kelly sitting in the carriage, Lei felt relieved. Although he was forced to propose to Kelly by Jerry, Lomat, Milomi and other bad friends, he said

To be honest, putting aside the factor of Li, Lei is very happy to marry Kelly. If he had to choose between a charming young lady and Kelly, Lei would definitely choose Kelly.

The place where Lei decided to settle was at the junction of his two provinces, a large grassland. There was a royal hunting park built two hundred years ago, which was now given to Lei by Shagru as Lei's temporary residence. Lei

His plan is that he will build a new city around this hunting park, a city large enough to station a hundred thousand troops. This is also what Shagru means, plus the relationship between Rokart, Beamon, and Inger.

, this is enough to frighten the three principalities in the southeast.

However, during the six months he was preparing for the wedding, Lei lived a paradise-like life. Every day, Lei took Kelly and a group of close knights to camp on the grassland, hunt, fish, and explore.

The relationship with Kelly is also heating up rapidly. If there was still a trace of shyness in the past, the two are now inseparable and inseparable. And under the unified management of Inger and Rockart, the wooden trees in the rows are inseparable.

The houses were built and served as a garrison for the Hundred Thousand Mad Dragon Legion. When waiting for the wedding, these houses could also be used by the entourage of the nobles to live in, so as not to add too much burden to the nearby cities.

As the days passed, Lei heard in his mansion that there was indeed a turmoil in the country, and it was a big turmoil. When the sinners invaded, in order to thoroughly implement the plan proposed by Ming·Desi to increase his own race on the spot,

According to the population plan, more than 20 million women in the empire were raped by sinners, orcs, dwarves, and elves, and 17 million of them were pregnant. As the days passed, the bellies of these women slowly

The situation became larger and larger, and social contradictions were immediately exposed.

The conservative Vatican people asked those women to eliminate the children in their bellies, because those stubborn old men could not bear to have a child of unknown origin in the belly of their daughter or wife. And those who had all their men killed

In the family, these pregnant women suffered the greatest discrimination from other families because of their natural motherhood, which made them refuse the request to have their own children. As a result, rumors of so-called witches spread in many places. Those pregnant women

The women either escaped into the mountains, or fled in the direction of the 'God-given grassland', or were burned alive.

Dark waves rippled, and people's dissatisfaction and conflicts suddenly intensified. All the spearheads were pointed at the empire's supreme ruler: Shagru. The people's opinions gradually unified: "An incompetent emperor, we are like this

The source of suffering." In particular, the sequelae of the shortage of men have begun to be exposed. Some lands lack people to cultivate, and there are more weeds than crops. And most of the women who could have done part of the farming work are pregnant. The entire empire has

The basic production system is close to collapse.
