On Lovna's 26th birthday, her portrait was hung in churches everywhere by believers.

More than a dozen countries in the Greater Hessen region, including Ipoli, signed a formal alliance in front of the small ruined city called "Lovnania" and appointed Lovna as the guardian of each country. By.

After that, her father wisely stopped mentioning Sirna in front of her, and instead affectionately called Lovna "my most proud daughter."

This was the beginning of this queen.

………………

Wuming was a little surprised as he listened to the queen in front of him tell the story of her beginnings.

Before, she always felt that Miss Lovna was a poor person who had to rely on Charles for everything, was not very bright, and was always deceived.

But I didn't expect that after returning to Ipoli, she would actually do so many things in just a few years. It was like she was a completely different person.

Lovna's face was full of arrogance: "There is no way. In the past, I wanted to rely on Teacher Charles for everything, but after having those seven children, I became the one who was relied on. I definitely can't be lazy. I have to go to school if something happens. . Of course, although I have achieved so many achievements, it is also due to Sharlanna and the others, but I am also great."

"Yes, Lovna is amazing." Charles also touched her raised head: "Long live our great Queen."

Lovna was greatly benefited from her lover's praise.

However, after a brief period of joy, Lovna's eyes gradually became lonely again.

After all, that was over 1000 years ago.

The children who had helped her and accompanied her in the wars all lay in coffins and slept forever;

The original site of "Lovnaniya" is now being repeatedly renovated and rebuilt, becoming this magnificent imperial mausoleum at their feet;

The Great Hessende region, which was quite backward back then, has now become the core territory of the empire and developed into a prosperous urban area.

The changes in things and people still made the queen feel a little emotional.

It seemed like the only thing that hadn't changed was the people around her.

105. The birth of the devil

The murals in the interior of the imperial mausoleum reflect the bright light and shine in the beams of light that shine through the dome.

The past before the rise of the empire has been eulogized and praised by future generations as best they can. That period of bright and hopeful history seems worthy of being remembered forever.

The nameless general said: "Miss Lovna, in this way, you gained the unanimous support of those countries by acting as the guardian of the Great Blacksend region, and finally you legitimately unified the entire Great Blacksend region. To become an emperor?"

Charles glanced at Wuming and said nothing.

"No." Lovna suddenly showed a profound expression: "...I am not a good person."

----------****----------

Up to that point, everything was going smoothly.

After Lovna became the guardian of the Great Blacksend region, she felt proud and arrogant for a while, thinking that she had achieved quite gratifying results.If nothing else happens, she should be a popular princess and be respected and worshiped by everyone in the Great Blacksend region.

However, her initial achievements were essentially based on the magical abilities of those children.

Although she does dare to fight and is willing to run around, without the powerful Netherworld magic ability of these children, with her limited ability, it is impossible to lead more than 2000 people to fight invincibly, let alone conquer them. Gain such a high prestige.

And these children born from the Nether Realm are not good.

After all, they are the creations of the devil, creatures of the underworld.

The devil did not create them for their achievements.

"Sharlanna and the others have been following me. Their power is getting stronger and stronger. They usually read books, play games, and listen to my stories at my residence. When I face strong enemies, they help me. Heal me when I'm injured, and give me early warning when I'm in danger... so I can make progress smoothly. However, the power of the Netherworld comes at a price."

Only death and the most extreme obsession can make these children stronger.

One time, after a bandit of 200 people invaded Great Black Sund, Lovna found these bandits as usual and defeated them easily.

These gangsters were different from the usual ones. They didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, and their fighting power was very strong. They just robbed some food. After being defeated, they quickly surrendered.They claimed to be a group of farmers who were attached to a certain noble. Because of the death of the noble, they had to take risks and take refuge here.

The experience of these people was quite pitiful. Lovna felt that it was appropriate to show some mercy. After confiscating their weapons, she took in this group of gangsters and promised that as long as they surrendered, they would be distributed to the local lords. Keep farming.

But... the next day, these fleeing serfs died completely.

Because Sher Lana and her seven children quietly came to the camp of this group of gangsters in the middle of the night.

In the noisy darkness, these seven or eight-year-old children smashed the heads of these people one by one with stones.

"We killed all those gangsters."

These children did not hide what they had done, but directly reported it to Lovna.

Looking at these children who were covered in blood and expressionless, Lovna felt scared for the first time.

"We are just doing what we should do, Sister Lovna." Sharlana said seriously: "Our strength can only be enhanced when there are a large number of dead people around, otherwise it will be weakened. You also said Well, those gangsters who invaded us would not regret dying, so in order to help you, we can only let them make a small sacrifice."

The disregard for human life seems to be engraved in the bones of these children.Watching a familiar child say such strange and cold-blooded words, Lovna was a little at a loss.

"Your father wouldn't want to see you do this." was all she could say.

"Only in this way can I help you, Sister Lovna."

Another child named Jialtan added: "You have to kill some people. This is the power of the Netherworld. Only at the cost of mortal life and obsession can you be qualified to use it. If we don't kill some people, then we will We will be the one who bears the price, and we will be swallowed up by the Netherworld."

As he spoke, the child revealed his arms, which were covered with evil and twisted black runes - those were traces of corrosion from the Netherworld magic.

Only death and pain can exchange for the power of the Netherworld.

This is what the devil created them for.

When these children from the Netherworld grow up, due to their respective talents, they will inevitably become undisputed leaders. They will also inevitably rise above mortals and rely on spreading death to increase their power.

Under the blessing of the Netherworld, they will inevitably use their long lifespan and powerful magic to create endless riots and killings in the mortal world.With the last wish of the "subversive", spread those evils and chaos.

Realizing the potentially bad future, Lovna hesitated.

She loves these children who rely on her.

Lovna: "How about you stop using these magics in the future. Anyway, now I have trained a group of soldiers, and there are many who can fight. If using magic will hurt you, then don't use it."

Sharlanna: "Sister Lovna, I think if it weren't for us, you would be in a lot of trouble on your own."

"How is it possible... You have to believe me, I will definitely be reliable." Lovna said firmly: "You will just be like ordinary children from now on, have fun, study hard, don't kill people anymore, and don't use those magics, I will take care of you Good on you. Don't do bad things! Otherwise, your father will definitely be disappointed."

Although the children were reluctant, they agreed.

However, it turns out that without these children, Lovna will indeed have a hard time.

Although the two to three thousand men under her can move sideways in the Great Blacksend area, they are not an overwhelming force.

Relying on funding from surrounding countries, the two 3000 people could only ensure adequate food and distribute the seized materials as trophies after defeating some gangs.

They do not have a complete military pay system, nor a pension system, and their marching formations are sparse. In the past, with the help of Sharlanna and other children, Lovna was able to defeat the gangsters at a very small cost every time, so this system can work. Go down.

However, if there is a strong enemy and hundreds of casualties occur, this grassroots team will be at risk of collapse.

Sure enough, in another autumn, another large group of gangs invaded the Great Black Sende, and Lovna led her soldiers to immediately attack them.A fierce battle broke out on a river bank.After paying a heavy price, Lovna defeated the group of bandits, but she only defeated them and did not capture any supplies. Instead, her own soldiers suffered serious casualties.

And with the material reserves in Lovna's hands, she couldn't distribute much food to appease these wounded soldiers who had suffered a defeat.

To pay the pension, she could only ask her father, King Nolen, for supplies, but the surrounding countries were already burdened with a lot of resources in order to squeeze out supplies to support these 2000 people.

They can't squeeze out much food.

Under this situation, even the soldiers who respected Lovna the most began to sigh.

This is the most annoying part. Without the support of magic, the burden of reality can crush an ordinary person like her.

The cost of feeding a standing army was extremely high.If these high pensions cannot be afforded and absolute victory cannot be guaranteed, most of this so-called standing army without sufficient material support will only be disbanded.

These soldiers could only pick up their hoes again and go back to farming.

Lovna, the "Guardian of the Great Blacksend Region", has ceased to exist in name only.

She needs more money and food, needs to feed more soldiers, and needs to have a truly sustainable army.

But she didn't want her children to use those terrible powers anymore.

If she wants to succeed and become a great person, she must pay the price.

This price can only be borne by others.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Lovna came up with an idea.

A rather wicked idea.

----------Liu Jin's downfall-------

To the east of Ipoli, there is a small state named Liujin.

This small country is located in the middle of Great Hessende. It is about the same size as Ipoli. It has several towns and some manors with good harvests.

Since it is surrounded by other countries, any gang that wants to come here to plunder will inevitably pass through other countries first.Therefore, Liujin was protected by other countries.

Therefore, the king here felt that there was no need to conclude an alliance with Iboli and had been living his life indifferently.

Therefore, this place was targeted by Lovna.

One day, Lovna suddenly entered Liujin territory with 400 people and stationed at the border.

King Liujin hurriedly took a group of guards out of the city to inquire about the situation.

After greeting each other, Lovna briefly described the situation: "Your Majesty, we intercepted a group of gangsters in the west, but dozens of bastards were too cunning and escaped our encirclement and sneaked into your territory. We are I’m here to help you hunt down these guys.”

King Liujin was a little confused, but looking at Lovna who was extremely serious, he couldn't question it, so he could only allow them to enter the country to help search for and suppress the bandits.Of course, the king kept an eye on it, and he accompanied Lovna fully armed in case of any eventuality.

Lovna searched carefully in the suburbs of Liujin for seven or eight days. Although King Liujin was impatient, he slowly relaxed.

On the tenth day, Lovna suddenly told King Liukin seriously.

"Your Majesty, we have found traces of the bandits. They seem to be hiding in the mountains and forests to the south. We plan to organize a manned search and suppression there. I hope your Majesty can watch the battle from the sidelines."

King Liujin agreed perfunctorily.He was afraid that this prestigious princess would ask him for money and food, so he wanted to catch the culprit quickly and send this annoying guy away.

Lovna took hundreds of people under her command and came to the forest with the king and dozens of his guards.Sure enough, we found the bonfire pile and scattered supplies left by the bandits in the forest.

"Your Majesty, my soldiers are not very familiar with this forest land. It is easy to get lost if they sneak in hastily. Could you please send a few good soldiers to lead the way for them?"

King Liujin thought for a while and felt that this request could still be met, so he sent a few knights and asked them to lead Lovna's men into the forest.

King Liujin himself was waiting outside the forest with Lovna.The king was already very old and was impatient to wait, so Lovna took out a bag of fine wine she had brought with her and gave it to the king graciously, asking him to drink it. The relaxed king also drank.

The herbs in the wine quickly took effect.

The king yawned and sat on the horse in a daze, almost falling off the horse several times.

Then, Lovna, who was mentally prepared, stabbed the king to death.

Her soldiers also hacked to death the king's careless guards one by one.

Afterwards, these people carried the dead king on a stretcher and ran to Liujin's capital. They shouted that His Majesty the King was injured and needed medical treatment. They easily opened the city gate and took over the city defense.

"That's how I took over Liujin. I casually made up some perjury, claiming that King Liujin took in the bandits and shared the looted property with the bandits. After I found out, King Liujin planned to kill me to silence me. I justly killed him."

Lovna said lightly: "In order to punish Liujin, I confiscated the wealth in Liujin's palace and distributed it to my subordinates as military pay. Then, I supported a fairly obedient guy to be Liujin's new king. Let him and Yiboli concluded a contract, and from now on, he respected me as the 'Protector of the Liukin Region'.

"Then, I took a lot of farms from Liujin and distributed them to other surrounding countries. The other countries also acquiesced in my annexation of Liujin.

"Finally, I also brought a lot of serfs and grain and distributed them to my soldiers as rewards... Anyway, I finally solved everyone's food problem, made up for the pension that was not enough before, and stabilized the morale of the army. .

"Liujin was just the first one. Later, I used similar methods and found some excuses to conquer several other countries in the Great Hessend region.

“Originally, I was a little worried that I would encounter strong resistance, but I didn’t expect that after I showed my true strength, everything went very smoothly.

"Those countries either found a reason for me to beat them up and chose to obey, or actively chose to rely on them. With the support of those countries, my army is getting larger and larger, and it is becoming more and more decent. Regular military pay, sufficient Food, combat experience, weapons and armor, everything is available.

"When I reunited with Teacher Ciel, I had de facto controlled the entire Great Black Sund."

106. Sharlana’s expectations

Wuming listened blankly to Lovna's description, feeling that his knowledge of her had been completely overturned.

"Why, are you looking at me like this?" Lovna glanced at Wuming and asked with a half-smile, "Are you surprised?"

"I...I thought you were a very kind ruler, Miss Lovna..."

"Don't be naive."
