Utopia

"Okay. Anything else?"

"To answer your Majesty's question, in fact... it is actually related to the Orchid Republic in the north."

"oh?"

"There is a vast wilderness between the empire and the Orchid Republic in the north. In addition to all kinds of monsters, the most threatening existence at present is the green-skinned Orks. The Orchid Republic recently issued a diplomatic letter, I hope we can help and destroy their camp."

"No. What have they, the Orchid Republic, done that I don't know about? Didn't we have a transport ship that disappeared half a month ago? I don't believe they don't know."

Obviously, since Emperor Dunde knew that the Orchid Republic in the north secretly recruited the gray-haired untouchables and made them his own citizens, he would never trust this republic easily.

However, the "excellent performance" of the Orchid Republic, which leaves no traces of its work and leaves no evidence for itself on the surface, made him quite admired.

[To be honest, I have been using it recently, and it works on both Android and Apple. 】

After all, the guy who "told" himself clearly without leaving any obvious evidence was an opponent that he couldn't easily deal with for the time being.

And he himself also knows one thing, that is, the most important reason why the Orchid Republic wants some gray-haired untouchables to be its citizens is that the Orchid Republic has a large area of ​​swamps formed by the water spouted from hot springs that cannot be discharged into the ocean in time.

The Orchid Republic responded to such swampland by turning it into rice fields.

I have to say that in fact, if it were him, Quan Dunde, he would do the same thing. After all, the swamp soaked in hot spring water is definitely not a bad and barren land. On the contrary, such swamps are the place to grow crops in extraordinary times. In addition, the Orchid Republic, as a country located in the north, should have been in a state of raging cold winds all year round.

But the Orchid Republic doesn't know why, but there are quite a few hot spring areas within the territory, allowing its citizens to live a less uncomfortable cold life. So much so that rice and other tropical plants that should be impossible to grow in the frozen land can also grow on the land of the Orchid Republic. At the same time, he didn't know why, but he felt a little regretful in his heart.

Let the citizens of the Orchid Republic eat hot spring rice... Alas! There was no use regretting it. He did not believe that the Orchid Republic, which had a powerful naval fleet, did not trade with the Old World by sea caravans.

Even here, he could see merchant ships from the Orchid Republic from time to time, and the merchants off the merchant ships were selling various agricultural products from the Orchid Republic at the port.

And is the Orchid Republic really going to remain neutral for a long time in order to coexist, as they say?

In short, for such a country that is neither a friend but not a mortal enemy, Quan Dude is very wary of them.

What's more, even if the Orchid Republic is not advanced in light weapons, it has quite a lot of heavy weapons. In order to ensure its own safety and actual national defense interests, he cannot offend or be too friendly.

After all, this country is too mysterious and too weird.

"Your Majesty, will rejecting them directly lead to their dissatisfaction? After all, we have some weapons and equipment that need to be imported from them."

"If the troops below keep saying that they don't have enough artillery fire to break down the wall of the natives, do I need to import from Lanfang? In this way, I... can find some reason to stall them... Yes! Let's just say we are here There are slaves revolting and slaves fleeing, so we really can’t spare the troops to kill the Orks.”

"As commanded."

Although this reason is quite weird, and it is also very abnormal to say it from the mouth of Emperor Dunde; but the minister responsible for the report is helpless. After all, His Majesty did not tell lies, and the Guangwu Empire is indeed facing these troubles.

So he nodded and took out a pen and paper to record.

"As for the Orks...Li Aiqing, how much do you know?"

"A green-skinned humanoid monster, a rough and savage robber with no culture and no idea what civilization is."

"For our empire...do they have camps at the border of our empire?"

"No."

This white-haired kobold minister named Li Caiyuan also knew in his heart that as a former diplomat and military minister, the reason why he could be reused was not only the territory where he had been sent as an envoy to the Japanese and Mai people, but also It was also because I had served as a teacher when His Majesty was still a prince.

He absolutely knows what kind of character and temper His Majesty is. Therefore, His Majesty will definitely not take the existence of the Orks seriously, as they are not on their own borders and do not pose a threat to the people's livelihood of the empire.

"No? That's okay. Anyway, the main task of our empire is survival and the capture of the south. Like the Principality of Elimu, I heard that there is a brave man..."

"Wayne the Brave, his full name is Wayne Baladian Elimu."

"Hmph! What kind of brave man? You are a piece of rubbish and you made your name so long. Do you want your tombstone to take up more space? Or do you want to give yourself as many pieces as possible? Give the order to kill this brave man, 5 [To be honest, I have been using it recently, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.] [To be honest, I have been using it on Android and Apple recently.] Kilograms of gold, no matter what the background, the royal family is willing to marry a woman to him.”

"Your Majesty? This...is so necessary..."

"It's expensive, right? Li Aiqing, you are my teacher, so you understand what I mean. If we don't give some sweeteners to the soldiers below, how can we make them fight the enemy bravely?"

Emperor Dunde's words were very simple. He believed in civil and martial arts and suppressed the power of the army, but he actually disliked the army. However, there is no other way. If he wants to survive and develop in the New World, he does not rely on the power of the army. How can he sleep peacefully in the palace?

"Yes. But the Principality of Elimu has now surrounded its borders with walls. We..."

"City wall? Is it useful?"

Definitely useless.

Therefore, the regent of the Principality of Elimu and the brave man of the Ascetic Church, Wayne Baladian Elimu, felt extremely heartbroken that the neighboring Kingdom of Zweiner was ruthlessly plundered again.

For no other reason than to be dependent on each other, the Kingdom of Zwirna and the Principality of Elimu have changed from enemies in the past to brothers who are now suffering from the ravages of the Kobold clan.

"If possible, I would like to talk to the Kingdom of Zwiener."

"Lord Regent?"

"Although it must sound a bit fanciful to you, I...I hope that the Principality of Elimu can form an alliance with the Kingdom of Zweina. I even...I asked the Grand Duke to marry a princess of the Kingdom of Zweina as his wife. It will be all right."

"Huh? Isn't this bad?"

"Is there anything good about it? They are finished, and we will definitely not end well."
