I am Honkai!

Facing Selene's inquiry, Sebastian was silent for a moment, "Compared to our world... this world is a real 'cannibal' world!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The bleak wind whizzed by, rolling up the dead weeds on the ground with a hint of coolness. On the official straight road built under the power of the empire, there was no one in desolation.

On the official road, discarded clothes, toys, broken and unusable carriages, bones of various animals, and even human corpses have long since rotted...

Until... a master and a servant, two figures, one white and one black, appeared at the end of the official path. The color of life they radiated seemed to be incompatible with the desolate atmosphere of this land.

Looking up, although the vegetation is dense and the land is considered fertile, but it looks so bleak, it is not a natural disaster, but only one result-man-made disaster!

Continuous wars have destroyed the vitality of this empire border village.

Desolate, desolate, dilapidated... This is the scene Selene saw along the way, a scene at the end of the dynasty...

The remnants of the once endlessly glorious great empire, the official roads and military fortresses that can still be used after thousands of years, are in stark contrast to the dilapidated scene of the empire's borders that are lingering under internal and external troubles...

"Frequent border rebellions and internal hidden dangers, isn't it convenient for us to usurp this world?"

While walking, Selene asked jokingly: "Sebas, do you think we want to join any force? Which force should we join?"

"..." Sebastian fell silent.

When passing through a small border village that was plundered by foreigners on the southwestern border, Selene had already determined what kind of world this was through the various official notices and related maps left in the largest house in the village.

Here, Selene will recall Zhan Chi's world view.In that world, there was a powerful country, the Empire, that once ruled the entire continent.

The ancient country with a thousand-year-old civilization, the most powerful country in the world, is the only one that can rival it is the western kingdom, while the southern islands and northern permafrost are relatively backward, and the eastern island country is an uncivilized land.

However, that was all in the past, and the current empire has also begun to become decayed after thousands of years.Internal and external troubles have come one after another. Although it is not on the verge of collapse, the hidden dangers under its powerful rule are not small at all.

This kind of corruption can't be cured by getting rid of one or two people, but from the ministers of the country to the tax collectors in the streets, they are all corrupt to the bone.

If we don't talk about the deep-seated reasons, but just talk about the shallow root of corruption, we have to talk about the minister of this empire--Ernest.

After the former emperor of the empire died of illness, he poisoned all members of the royal family except the youngest prince, including the empress, and then put the little prince on the throne, and became the auxiliary minister himself.He began to constantly frame and exclude dissidents in the court.

After that, he even arranged his cronies and people from his own faction in key positions.As mentioned in the original book, the most powerful combat force in the world - Esthers, was supported by Ornest as the general.

She is Ernest's partner and the sharpest knife in his hand.

But Estes only cooperated with Ernest to satisfy his desire.She loves fighting, longs for war, and is a firm believer in the law of the jungle.At the same time, Estes is also a queen who is extremely cruel to her enemies.

Her most famous deed is nothing more than the murder of 40 northern aliens. In the eyes of the aliens, she can be said to be an out-and-out devil.

But such a woman with perverted strength and perverted personality is very friendly to her subordinates and the people of the empire, and never accepts bribes.

He is cruel to his enemies, but generous and friendly to the people and army under his rule.This is one of the two great generals of the empire, Estes.

There is the faction of Minister Ernest, which naturally has its opposite neutral faction and the so-called conscience faction.And the top force of the neutral faction is another great general of the empire, Bude.

If it is said that Esdes is in charge of fighting abroad, then General Bude is dedicated to protecting the emperor and is the guardian of the imperial capital.He commanded the imperial guards, guarding the safety of the little emperor every step of the way.

He is rigid and upright, and he doesn't give him a good look even in the face of Minister Ernest, who is covering the sky with his hands.

Although he can't understand Ernest's behavior very much, he has always followed the teachings of his ancestors and believed that warriors should not interfere in politics, so he knew the corruption of Ernest and others, but he did not intervene in the slightest.

It can be said that his existence is also one of the reasons why Ornest has not fully grasped the empire so far.If he could be a little stronger and use his own strength to destroy Ornest and his henchmen, the empire might collapse a few years later.

As for the so-called faction of conscience, under the exclusion of Minister Ornest, it has long been in decline, and its influence on the court has basically been wiped out. There are only three or two big cats and kittens left. survived under the protection of

Regarding the declining state of the empire, many people believe that Minister Ernest made the empire become like this. As long as he is removed, the empire can become better again.

Selene dismissed this statement. The decline of a feudal empire has never been achieved by just one or two people, but more of the corruption of an entire upper ruling class.

Although it may be a bit general to say this, Selene can be sure that if these ruling classes are pulled out and shot one by one, there must be fish that slipped through the net!

And another major force in the Chi Chi world is the religious force, said An Ning.This religion believes that doing good deeds can lead to happiness and longevity, and it has a huge number of fanatics.

But to be honest, Selene didn't like it very much.

And when it comes to this, I have to mention the forces that have been standing on the opposite side of the empire-the Revolutionary Army.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance.For the corruption of the empire, there are naturally those who raise the banner of rebellion.This is the second largest force in the world, the Revolutionary Army.The army that exists to overthrow the corrupt imperial rule, eliminate Ornest, and overthrow the imperial rule is the revolutionary army.

However, in order to overthrow the rule of the empire, the revolutionary army actually joined forces with foreign races in the West to attack the empire.Don't they know that the three alien tribes in the north, south, and west have always wanted to invade the empire, burn, kill, loot, occupy the center of this fertile continent, and turn the people of the empire into slaves?

What is this operation? "It is better to be a foreigner than a domestic slave."?This instantly cleared Selene's senses to him!Actually cooperate with hostile aliens?

In Selene's view, this is a typical example of luring wolves into a house, and what is the difference between it and the later emperor's son emperor. This kind of behavior really disgusts her.

Although she despised their actions very much, Selene did not empathize with them. Along the way, she has been thinking about how to completely dominate the entire world faster.

The Anning Road and the Revolutionary Army have been ruled out, so the only thing left to do is to join the empire. That's just right, the empire at this time has been in decline, with corruption, corruption and high-handed rule internally, and the ministers are domineering, killing political opponents, and monopolizing power.Externally, there were alien invasions, the southern revolutionary army rebelled, rebellions across the border, and religious forces plotting wrongdoing, it can be said that the war continued.

This situation is worse for the empire, but it is an opportunity for Selene, there is more room for maneuver, and it can better extract some nutrients during the collapse of the empire.

Boil the frog in warm water, Selene has plenty of time now, as long as she can receive the world more completely, she does not suggest waiting a little longer.

As the ruling empire of this world, after he usurped it, the core of the world is not at hand!

And if you want to achieve the revival and rise of the empire to improve your civilization level, and then improve your own strength, then you have to plan carefully. After all, Selene's collapse characteristics determine that the higher the level of civilization in the world she masters, the better she will be. The stronger one's own strength is.

In addition to relying on robbing, isn't this characteristic forcing Selene to farm and improve technology?

"But I just don't know what time it is now, 1014 in the Imperial Calendar, and I don't know if Ernest has come to power... Sigh."

Thinking about this, Selene felt a little headache, how to do these specific operations, "...why think so much, let's go find people first."

Event [-]: The founding of the first emperor

Event 48: 1000 Teigu appears.In view of the fact that the age of Susanoo in the official book is 1024 years old, and the time when Tazmi killed the earth dragon is 24 in the imperial calendar, it means that the production time of Susano is about 48 years in the imperial calendar. All [-] Teiju were built."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Huh?" I really came up with something, when I turned over a hill, a large amount of cooking smoke appeared on the horizon in the distance.

"Finally met people."

Selene was almost annoyed to death along the way. I didn’t meet a single resident of the empire. I met quite a few of those foreign races in the southwest, but they were completely uncivilized savages and couldn’t communicate at all.

No way, Selene had no choice but to destroy them, otherwise, judging from the meaning of those alien races, they planned to catch Selene and cook them up.

With super vision, Selene quickly locked onto a small town about 3000 meters away.

Although the town's buildings are very old, it can be seen from its angular masonry walls and a large number of arrow towers that this is a small military town on the southwestern border of the empire, but it is probably due to disrepair. Covered with countless cracks and gaps.

And those cooking smoke came from under the city wall of the small town. There were countless temporary sheds, large and small, colorful and extremely messy.

Perhaps because it is located on the border, this small town that is extremely bloated due to receiving refugees has built observation towers at the four corners of the refugee shantytowns outside the city.

At this time, a few militiamen wearing half body armor, or holding bows and arrows, or holding spears, were still patrolling more conscientiously.

Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, one of the militiamen holding a bow and arrow opened his bow and arrow instantly, "There is someone in front!!"

Hearing this, the surrounding militiamen immediately became vigilant, staring at Selene's master and servant duo who were gradually approaching from far to near.

It wasn't until Selene and Sebastian's one white and one black figures came up to them that they realized that they immediately put away their weapons and quickly stood up straight.

After all, Selene and Sebastian are completely different from the people here, no matter their clothes or temperament. They are not ordinary people at first glance, and they probably can't afford to provoke them.

As for whether they are spies from a foreign race in the southwest, that is even more impossible. How could a group of savages who drink blood have such a temperament.

Although they didn't know the identity of the person who came, and they didn't receive a notice that someone from above would come, but this didn't hinder their enthusiasm, "I don't know what the two adults are doing here?"

Perhaps intimidated by the virtues of other nobles in the empire, these militiamen were extraordinarily humble towards Selene.

"It's nothing, you can go about your business." After finishing speaking, Selene ignored the guards standing behind him and walked directly into this small border town.

"Yes, yes, sorry to bother you! My lord, please." Seeing that Selene seemed unwilling to talk to them, the guards tactfully stepped aside without showing any dissatisfaction.

"Ah."

"Huh..." Seeing the figures of Selene and Sebas walking away, several guards couldn't help but take a deep breath, they were really scared to death, the aura that Selene exuded just now really shocked They are like falling into an ice cave, they would not have come to ask if they knew about it...

"Hiss... this noble lady is really pretty."

"Yeah, it should be from the imperial capital."

"However, why does she come to a place like ours that doesn't shit..."

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Finally, the captain of the team came to his senses. After hearing what his team members were talking about, his expression changed drastically, and he slapped his face several times, "You guys are dying! You can talk about adults too?! Let me go on patrol!"

......

After entering the refugee shanty town, there was only one word in front of Selene—chaos!
