“coming!”

Irelia’s expression tensed. She had encountered this scene in the previous simulation. At that time, she teamed up with Letitia to suppress Karls. But this time, Letitia was not with Ash, and Irelia was not sure what was going on.

But in a one-on-one fight, Karls, who used the divine descent technique, had reached the peak of the holy realm and was almost invincible.

[Weinei: Damn it! Why didn’t I blow this guy to death when I activated the holy weapon? ]

She deliberately waited until the Holy See army entered the city before activating the holy weapon, but unfortunately Karls was too powerful. He forcibly saved the Archangel Legion, and 10,000 ordinary Holy See soldiers died.

[Phyllis: I still can’t beat him.]

On the screen, after releasing the God’s Arrival Technique, there are only two words on Carls’ face – invincible!

At this moment, a biting cold wind suddenly swept over, and heavy snow covered the sky, almost covering the entire simulation screen. The princesses were surprised, and saw silver chains flying out in the wind and snow, quickly strangling the archangel in the sky!

Hua la la la~~

The chains trembled in the air, making crisp sounds. Karls’ eyes flashed, and he waved his scepter to release a magic attack in a certain direction in the wind and snow, but was hit by the oncoming chains. The two forces made a huge explosion in the air.

Boom! ——

The gust of wind swept through, blowing away the wind and snow, revealing a figure in the snow – wearing a sky blue cloak, white down wrapped around the back of the neck, long silver-white hair dancing in the wind, and under the bangs, a pair of beautiful golden eyes emitting a cold glow.

Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…

The girl walked step by step in the wind and snow. The cold breath formed a vortex around her. Frost condensed under her feet, freezing the earth and also freezing the Holy See soldiers along the way in place.

[‘I am not a king, but a man who follows in the footsteps of a king.’]

The girl came in front of Ash, knelt on one knee, and lowered her head slightly.

[‘Esde, meet your father.’]

……

……

Asking for a monthly ticket! ! !

Volume 101: Chapter 91 Chapter Orcs will never be slaves? The prelude to building an empire, blood sacrifice to the Mother Goddess of Life!

[‘Esde, meet your father.’]

The girl on the simulation interface knelt on one knee.

Esde was completely stunned.

No, it took me half a year to awaken successfully. I merged the first relic, and my strength was enough to crush everyone. Then – the first thing I did when I came out was to kneel down and kowtow to Ash???

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

Esde didn’t believe that this was something he could do.

She would understand if you just said thank you or said, ‘Father, I did it, let me take over the rest.’

After all, this was the opportunity given to her by Ash, and she should be grateful to him.

But Esde couldn’t understand the idea of ​​kneeling down.

She is the queen of the Extreme Ice Kingdom!!!

“The plot setting… yes, this should be the plot setting.”

Esde suddenly realized that there was a hint when the option popped up before. The favorability exceeded the limit, which should be the development according to this plot, but in reality, she just needed to not follow this plot. As long as she could find the relic fusion, wouldn’t everything change completely? Even the previous steps could be omitted, whether it was subduing Amabel or expelling the nomads, these could be omitted, because Esde felt that she was invincible at this moment!

[Phyllis: Hahahahaha! I want to remember this scene. I want to remember it for the rest of my life.]

[Weinei: Hmm~ He is indeed my prince. Even the Queen of Ice has to kneel down to him.]

[Irelia: It’s a bit… incomprehensible, but it seems understandable. ]

This was definitely the most interesting simulation they had ever seen, and everyone was very satisfied.

But Ash was actually a little confused. My daughter, what the hell is this Lu Bu worshipping his adoptive father drama you are playing? You’re making me a little confused.

Esde didn’t care. No matter what these people said, she knew it in her heart. She knew what she wanted and insisted on being herself. How could a mere simulation affect her? Wasn’t she the same in the previous simulations?

In the picture, Queen Esde finally stood up.

[‘Father, I succeeded. Leave the rest to me.’]

Esde: “…”

That’s exactly what she would say.

Never mind. It doesn’t matter anymore.

Although Esde was dissatisfied with the game character’s “self-promotion”, she had to admit that she was very satisfied with the strength after the fusion of the relics.

After Karls performed the God’s Arrival, almost no one could suppress him except the ninth-level quasi-god. However, Esde’s awakened form was able to fight Karls on equal terms, and her strength was several points stronger than that of Irelia after she fused with the Crystal of God.

With her holding Karls back, Ash immediately turned around to fight the Archangel Legion. The outcome of the battle was no suspense.

“These are probably birdmen. They have nothing to do with angels.”

Ash looked at the slaughter in the simulation and shook his head in disdain.

The clergy always like to promote everything as grand and noble in order to consolidate their ruling position. From the perspective of the power of faith, these archangels are similar to the Guards of Khorne, except that they take longer to grow. If the Guards of Khorne are given a few more years to grow, they may even become more terrifying than these birdmen.

Simply put, it is something created by a tiny part of divine power and has nothing to do with angels.

But if there had been no war, the sight of the Archangel’s arrival alone would probably have been enough to drive the followers of the Holy See completely crazy.

So, faith is indeed a useful tool for ruling.

[The Holy See was defeated, and Cardinal Karls led the remaining troops to retreat.]

“Heh~Come and fight? Why are you running away?”

Ash snorted. You were so awesome when you killed my little Hui?

Archangel? Roasting birdman!

[In March 1783, Ash ordered the Archangels to be tied to the cross and a fire was set in the name of burning heretics. Hundreds of Archangels were burned by the flames, shocking the continent.]

[In the same month, the Holy See Karls angrily denounced Ash as a heretic, the head of evil, who would bring disaster to the continent.]

[In April 1783, the Ice Queen Esde led her army to start a massive attack on the northern countries.]

[In May 1783, the Orc Kingdom was destroyed and its territory was incorporated into the Arctic Ice Kingdom.]

“Finally we got it.”

Ash looked towards the Orc Kingdom. He had to admit that these guys were indeed very strong. It took Magrianne and Amabel so long to succeed in the siege. In the end, only 30,000 people were left out of the two armies of 100,000.

But it’s all worth it.

Nowadays, most of the entire northeast region has become the territory of the Arctic Ice Kingdom. With the Arctic Ice Kingdom as the center, there are only a few countries in the east. To the north, it is covered with snow and is sparsely populated. There are the most countries on the southwest. At this moment, Esde has led his troops to unify the north in the name of his father.

Ash clicked on the orc information. The entire kingdom was now reduced to only 200,000 people, of which more than 100,000 were ordinary orcs, and the remaining 30,000 were prisoners captured before. The number was not large, but after a few years of development, as long as they were given enough living conditions, the fertility of the orcs would soon increase.

He planned to break up the orcs and integrate them into the Arctic Ice Kingdom, using some as labor and others as military force.

The labor force has many uses. Given the physical conditions of the orcs, their employment prospects are bright. If things don’t work out, they can just open a pink street and reap a lot of money from those ladies.

Moreover, the addition of orcs will help improve the competitiveness of the industry and let the common people know that their status as a labor force is precarious. Roll up, roll up everything. If you don’t do it, there are plenty of orcs who will do it!

The combat effectiveness of the army is also important to Ash. You have to know that the Orcs once dominated the continent and their combat effectiveness is unquestionable. They are not lacking in individual strength, but in weapons and equipment, systematic training, and tactical and strategic thinking, and Ash has all of these.

With a little training, the fighting power of the orc army will definitely not be weaker than that of the Iron Pagoda.

Add to that witchcraft enhancement, blood frenzy, and bonuses from famous generals, and a powerful army is formed.

As for the possibility of rebellion, he was not worried at all.

Orcs will never be slaves? More food!

In the past, most orcs had no idea where to start. Now, Ash provides them with food and warm clothes. Isn’t this better than staying out in the snow and starving?

The biggest advantage of orcs, in addition to their strong physical fitness, is that they are easy to tame. They do not have strong beliefs and ambitions like some humans. For orcs, as long as they can feed me, then we are brothers!

This is also what makes Ash most satisfied.

What he likes most are obedient subordinates.

As long as the other party obeys his orders, he doesn’t mind reducing the other party’s tax amount by 1%.

After all, Ash is not a demon.

Wu＋⑺〉⑥＠∮⑹〈〓三四〉：驷◎｀诱≯ＪｉＡoLiUQun: Actually, Ash felt that most people on the continent misunderstood him, saying that he was a demon, a heretic, or a tyrant. Is that true? Most nobles in this world think of their people first to exploit their interests, but Ash’s first thought is to feed them!

See, what is wisdom? What is kindness? This is it!

As for working oneself to death after having a full meal, it was purely a choice that the people were willing to make in order to protect their peaceful lives. Ash swore that he had never forced anyone.

“The territory is enough, but it’s still a long way from building an empire.”

While Esde and others were leading their troops to war, Ash began to study the development of national strength.

If you want to establish an empire, the system will give a comprehensive national strength assessment, taking into account various aspects such as economy, military, science and technology, politics, culture, society, and resources. Only when all conditions are met can an empire be established.

As for the Arctic Ice Kingdom, first of all, the economy is far behind. They have been fighting wars for years. Although they have basically won all the battles, it still brought huge obstacles to the domestic economy. As the saying goes, after a wave of war, the economy will regress ten years. There is a reason for this. It is not always possible to make a fortune from war like Amei did.

Of course, the advantage of the Arctic Ice Kingdom is that after the battle, the territory resources will double, and these will need to be slowly redeemed in the future.

Although there is still some gap in the military sector, the gap is not big. The Ice Kingdom can be said to be the best in the continent in terms of comprehensive military strength, so Ash has nothing to worry about.

Science and technology are so far behind. In the slave-dominated Rhea continent, the productivity of every country is very backward, and this is even more so in the Arctic Ice Kingdom. There is no other way. The living conditions are too poor. Most territories are developing in the simplest and most direct way. They have to fight against the cold winter and the nomadic orcs, and they have no extra energy to do anything else.

In addition to energy, developing technology requires investment of money, but the economy of the Arctic Ice Kingdom is not developed, which has led to a vicious cycle of having no money to develop technology, backward technology and productivity, and backward productivity being unable to create an economy.

The political aspect is fine. Now the political decision-making of the kingdom is unified. Basically, whatever he says is what it is. The organization, mobilization and execution are all at a very high level.

“Economy and military are easy to deal with. Technological development requires the integration of magic technology, which requires investment and time to produce feedback. Culture is more difficult… The entire Ice Kingdom doesn’t have much culture.”

Culture is something abstract, but it has a huge impact and is something that requires the most time to hone.

The depth of the cultural heritage can largely reflect the development experience of a country. Just look at the 5,000-year history of the Flower Country. However, the Ice Kingdom does not even have the most superficial cultural heritage. As for the cultural characteristics? It may be “dipped beans, cool!”

There are a lot of female soldiers all over the country, each of them is so strong and powerful that it’s okay to let them fight and kill, but if you ask them to learn culture and improve their moral qualities, I’m sorry, it’s better to kill a sheep, pour soul juice on it, and then everyone gather together to enjoy it comfortably.

In this cold northern region, isn’t it better to learn something?

Facts have proved that the cultural value of the Arctic Ice Kingdom is indeed lower than that of countries in other continental plates. Of course, fighting is also a kind of culture, but the conditions required to impact the empire at the moment are still far from enough, even a little desperate.

$/伍⊙¤戚@○榴６℃⒊似丝尔玥费裙〉: Fortunately, apart from this, other things are not too difficult. The overall social strength is reflected in stability and economy. As long as everyone lives a good life, the values ​​will naturally go up.

As for resources, there is more than enough land resources. What we need to solve now is the population. Ultimately, we still have to develop the economy. People will be willing to have more children only if their living standards are guaranteed… Well, in order to set an example for the people of the kingdom, Ash feels that he has to work hard on his side as well.

“I have no interest in Slaanesh, this is purely for development.”

Ash’s purpose is quite clear.

Slaanesh?

Look at my situation, I can’t even pass the test of Slaanesh!

Although he has opened the path of Slaanesh faith, Ash only uses it to achieve the purpose of controlling the target. He is not interested in the extravagant scenes of dozens of people having parties and frantically pressing the F key and shutter key with juice flowing. From this point of view alone, those noble grandfathers have more fun than Ash.

But Ash still thinks the current situation is good. The ultimate of Slaanesh is the ultimate perversion and madness. People with trembling brains and losing reason may not even listen to him. What he wants is a capable person, not a madman with sperm in his brain.

Of course, maybe Ash still likes to shoot in his nature. Compared with being a bit stubborn, he is more interested in conquest and fighting. After all, he still doesn’t understand how he opened the Path of Slaanesh. Can faith also open up new land?

God is a group. There are powerful creatures that exist in reality, and there are also some conceptual spirits. When the power of the concepts is strong enough, gods that gather such beliefs will naturally be born.

“Forget it, it’s not important.”

Ash opened the kingdom management interface and began to develop, while spreading the faith of Khorne outward. He glanced at the number of believers, which had reached as many as four million. After reaching this level, the spread of faith entered a temporary bottleneck, and a larger Khorne was needed to break it.

In other words, faith cannot be just slogans. The Holy See has been able to rule for so long because the Mother Goddess of Life really exists, but Khorne has not been seen at all so far. To put it bluntly, most of the people who can follow Khorne to fight now have attributes that are highly compatible with Khorne, and in fact, rational people account for the majority. Even those who are oppressed by life and can’t raise their heads will not directly show their second brother and shout “Fight!” just because of a false belief.

If he wants faith to explode again, Ash will need to plan a grand “performance” to bring Khorne to the continent of Rhea.

“The Holy Land of Mirolanka, where the Holy Court worships the Mother Goddess of Life.”

Ash looked at a place a little north of the Holy See headquarters on the map, the holy land of Miroranka, the pilgrimage site for all followers of the Mother Goddess of Life. Every year, a large number of pilgrims go to Miroranka, and the most recent time the Mother Goddess of Life was worshipped was July 1783, 7.

—-Reality—-

“Master Ash, you… should go talk to Miss Yasuna. She is mobilizing troops to attack Picaan City.”

Herlanth stood in front of Ash with a bitter face.

“Ah.”

Ash responded calmly.

“Did she say why?”
