【Phyllis: …】

Weinet was very excited now. This time she had finally avenged the loss in the previous battle and killed Eret.

However, this time she did not give Eret a chance to collude with the Holy See. She left the royalist faction, and then took the opportunity to pull the chief wizard of the court into the camp to fight against her uncle, the Sky Sword Saint. She then imitated Ash and trained an army of tens of thousands of Iron Pagodas, which made Eret stupid in one fell swoop.

The whole country of Benincia was shocked!

No one expected that the big-breasted and unambitious princess would be so good at fighting and even reform the military force.

The old king was so happy that he passed on the throne directly – mainly because he was in poor health and was drugged by Eret. Fortunately, Weine discovered it in time, so he had the opportunity to win over the court wizard.

Honestly speaking, after taking the throne, Weine doesn’t know what to do now. She will study the national war to see if she can defeat the Holy See. If not, forget it. Anyway, for her, this is a matter of doing it if she can, and not doing it if she can’t.

“Or we can produce more griffins. Twenty thousand are not enough. We need at least thirty thousand.”

“Alas, my finances are a bit limited. Which country should I go to to get it…”

“The Iron Pagoda only has 40,000. When will it reach 100,000?”

“Hey, military expenses are so expensive, let’s go to the neighboring country and get some.”

“By the way, let’s also light up the Cult of Khorne. We still have to deal with the Holy See later. Hehe~ I will also take action after Ash takes action.”

“Alas, we are running low on supplies again. Let’s go get some next door.”

Her Highness Venetian is continuing the simulation.

…

[Achievement ‘Drunk on the Dragon Couch’ obtained. 】

Ash stared at the simulation interface and stroked his chin.

“This Ice Queen is really cunning. I, Ash, have a heart for the kingdom, all for His Highness Esde. You are being a little bit mean by your own standards, aren’t you?”

In the picture, Ash’s character is lying on a gorgeous big bed – besides him, there is another person, Queen Margarion.

With this trend picking up, he will be Queen Margarion’s man from now on. Her Majesty the Queen is obviously afraid of the 100,000 troops outside the city, so she wants to create some ambiguity to win over Ash and shut up those nobles.

Her Majesty the Queen personally invited him to settle in Star Castle, what an honor it is in the Arctic Ice Kingdom, and more importantly, Ash is a man, so the original rumors about Ash ‘having his own army’ immediately turned into ‘guess when His Highness Esde will have a younger brother/sister’.

And – “On whether the Queen’s blood relatives are more qualified to become the next Queen than outstanding heirs”

Everyone knows the selection mechanism for the crown prince of the Kingdom of Arctic Ice. In the history of the kingdom, queens almost never get married because they feel that no one is worthy of Her Majesty the Queen, except in special circumstances. Based on this, each crown prince is selected directly from the royal family, with comprehensive tests of bloodline, character, knowledge, command, politics and other talents, and finally the best ones are selected to become princesses.

But when the queen and an outstanding man have equally outstanding offspring, will the position of crown prince change?

There were all kinds of speculations, so much so that the rumors completely overshadowed the doubts about whether Ash would rebel, as if Margarian wanted to block these voices to prevent reminding Ash that he could be king himself.

But it must be said that the queen acted quite decisively and posted herself out without hesitation. No wonder a ruthless person like Amabel was suppressed for so many years.

“Why didn’t I refuse? I must have been influenced by the belief in Slaanesh. If it were me, I would definitely refuse.”

Ash thought secretly.

Honestly speaking, he sent his troops here purely to wait for Magerion to be killed by Amabel and for the royal city to be in chaos so that he could suppress it. By that time, the queen would pass away and various princes would rise up. Without some troops, how could he stabilize the government and kick Esder to the throne?

Who knew that Margarian was so cruel that she blew off an eye in exchange for a turning point in the battle.

Now it seems like he has some evil intentions, and I am so loyal.

Ash closed the interface and began to think about what to do next.

The scene changes.

The palace hall.

The Ice Queen stood in front of the throne, a blue cloak draped over her shoulders and goose-white fur around her neck. Margaret crossed her arms over her chest, one eye covered with an eye patch, and the other eye, with its golden pupils, looked down at the ministers in the hall.

Even though she lost an eye, her majesty was still enough to overwhelm the howling wind and snow outside the palace.

[‘I listened to the oracle yesterday, and the Ice God gave me a sign that I am thirty-five this year, and it is time for me to marry and have children. In order to rectify the country, I have agreed to the gods and decided to marry Yaxiu.’]

″<ＺhUａｎqUｎ②：er￠△⑨￡々4⊥∥⑷3⑸!’⑹×＆④{+ [In February 1780, Queen Margaret announced to the world that she wanted to marry Ash.]

I’m coming!

As soon as the news came out, all major magic news newspapers were busy reporting the first-hand news.

Then Esde, who was leading his troops to fight against the orcs on the front line, suddenly lost his temper.

She used Ash in order to suppress Amabel and stabilize the situation in the kingdom.

But I never thought of calling back my father!

If Ash shows any “uselessness”, the people of the kingdom will collectively stand up and oppose him without her saying anything. After all, this is a country where women are superior, and the man who is worthy of Her Majesty the Queen is naturally the best among men.

However, Ash suppressed the rebellion and defeated Amabel. In the Arctic Ice Kingdom, no woman would dare to say that she was stronger than Ash.

As a result, the entire kingdom not only voiced opposition, but also shouted in support.

What Phyllis said came true. When she goes back and sees Ash again, she will have to call him father.

“…What kind of thing is this?”

Esde rubbed his temples, feeling the urge to postpone this simulation and restart it.

She didn’t even need to look at the forum to know how Phyllis was laughing.

“Let’s reopen.”

Due to strong psychological resistance, Esde wanted to reopen it.

As a result, the next moment, another message popped up –

[In February, Queen Margarion announced that she would pass the throne to Esde after marriage and move to Char Castle with Ash.]

“…”

[Phyllis: @Esdemaglian Queen really took great pains for you. Really, I gave you Ash as the starter, and it was a colored card. You had the biggest advantage among all the people, but you almost lost the game. You are so useless! I will teach you how to use Ash next time! ]

The corner of Esde’s mouth twitched slightly, and his hand moved away from the ending simulation.

She didn’t expect that Margaret had such a trick.

Marry Ash, and then move to Xia City. Then Ash, the brave general with outstanding achievements, becomes a father with a baby, and lives in Xia City to retire peacefully.

More importantly, Xia City was Amabel’s original territory, and the people inside were definitely hostile to Ash. It would be extremely difficult for Ash to develop his military strength by relying on the territory. He should cut off his retreat and just focus on having children and retiring.

As for Esde, it was natural for him to ascend the throne.

Yes, the opportunity to complete the main storyline of the first stage is right in front of us.

But Esde just couldn’t be happy.

This wave was all thanks to the help of Mother. Ash dealt with Amabel, and Mother dealt with Ash. The two major terrorists in the kingdom were solved, and now it was her turn to perform.

In fact, Margarian is not old enough to abdicate, and with her ability, she has been governing the Arctic Ice Kingdom without any problems for many years.

But in order for her to secure the throne, Margaret chose to marry and abdicate at an age when she should have been fighting, and passed the throne to her.

Which king doesn’t want to reign longer and accomplish greater achievements?

Her mother sacrificed so much for her!

This sacrifice really made Esde too embarrassed to accept the throne with peace of mind.

at this time.

[In February 1780, the bitter cold of winter covered the entire northern border. This year’s winter was particularly cold, with snowstorms in many places and an extremely serious food shortage.]

[In the same month, the orcs gathered an army of 150,000 to invade the Arctic Ice Kingdom.]

Winter in the north is extremely harsh. In places like the Guardian Kingdom, which is located in the northeastern part of the north, living conditions are even harsher. This year, when the frost hit, it was colder than in previous months even though it was already February. Climate change has led to an even harsher living environment. Even a grain of rice has to be broken apart and shared, so the orcs could no longer bear it.

The North is so small, and the resources of the Arctic Ice Kingdom are the best. However, due to the kingdom’s powerful strength, every time the orcs try to steal food, they will deliberately avoid large-scale friction with the Arctic Ice Kingdom.

But this year the situation is serious. Secondly, the Arctic Ice Kingdom has just suffered a coup, the domestic situation is chaotic, and the national strength has seriously declined. It is a good time to attack.

Not to mention the Orcs, even the nomadic peoples began to mobilize on a large scale. In addition to the Arctic Ice Kingdom, many small countries were also attacked one after another.

“One hundred and fifty thousand?”

Esde glanced at the battle situation across the border and was not frightened by the number of 150,000.

Having dealt with the orcs for so many years, she knew very well what the orcs’ army for food grabbing was like. The basic composition was ‘50% cannon fodder + 30% jackals + 20% main force’. The 150,000 people were equivalent to 75,000 ordinary orcs who were recruited by the Orc Kingdom to steal food because they were hungry and had nowhere to go. Some of them would receive simple training, while others would go directly to the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness was quite low.

The real threat is the Jackal Army and the main Orc Army. The fearsomeness of the Jackals lies in their mobility and human wave tactics. They charge forward fearlessly and have a strong impact on the formation.

However, Esde felt somewhat fortunate in her heart. If she just went back to inherit the throne, it would be no different from picking up the position of queen for free. But if she could defeat this wave of orc invasion and resolve the crisis of the kingdom, it would barely prove that she was qualified to be the Queen of Ice.

[In February 1780, you applied to Margarian to lead troops to fight against the orcs.]

In the kingdom, due to the failure of Amabel’s mutiny and Maglian’s actions, Esde’s support rate is steadily rising.

Nobles from all over the country expressed their support for her, which would be very advantageous for her in the next confrontation with the orc army.

[At the end of February, Princess Esde led an army of 2 and joined forces with the border noble territories to attack the beastman army.]

[Irelia: Why is the forum so lively? Have you finished the simulation? ]

[Felice: Irelia, you are finally here! ]

[Irelia: What happened? ]

[Phyllis: Queen Margarian has gone crazy with her killing. ]

[Irelia: Margarian…Esde’s mother?]

[Phyllis: Yes, after her efforts, she succeeded in making Ash the father of Esder.]

[Irelia: ???]

Father?

It does not make sense?

[Phyllis: You showed up. Is the simulation over? Let me tell you something…]

[Irelia: No, I just wanted to see if His Highness Esde has finished the simulation. It looks like it will take quite some time now, so I’ll get busy now and we’ll talk later.]

However, due to Ferris’s tragic plea, Irelia closed the forum and focused on the simulation in front of her.

The interface shows a vast ocean.

The fleet she led was docked at the edge of an island.

Yes, she went out to sea.

Under the pretext of exploring overseas resources, she reduced friction with the elves and the countries of the southern continent and focused on the South China Sea front.

Last year, she personally led fifty warships out to sea and defeated the army of the sea clan. She then used tough measures to establish a united front in the South China Sea, replicating Ash’s original operation and forming a South China Sea coalition to explore the ocean.

There are two purposes for this voyage, to fight the sea creatures and to dig for resources.

It is impossible to wipe out the sea tribe in one go. Irelia mainly wants to test their strength so that she can have an idea in mind for the next battle.

Mining for resources is a must. The resources in the sea are so abundant, with various mineral veins and ruins innumerable. When the difficult territory sank, an unknown amount of wealth sank along with it.

One of the last two relics she found was found in the sea.

But this time, Irelia found something different.

[Dungeon entrance——’Explore the Abyss’. 】

[The challenge is not open, do you want to open it? ]

[Note: In the mysterious time and space, planes interweave, gods fight each other, and ancient mysteries dwell in the subspaces they created. They often appear in the abyss. Please be careful. Your exploration will reveal a corner of the mystery, but it may also attract terrifying existence.]

This thing was discovered after she led her troops to kill a group of sea guards.

Copy.

And it doesn’t seem to be an ordinary copy, but another land that exists independently of the Rhea continent. This discovery shocked Irelia greatly.

Although she had heard the mysterious white-haired girl mention the ‘Abyss Realm’ before the end of the last simulation, she had no idea about it. It was only now that she knew for the first time that there were other places outside the Rhea continent, and that the Abyss Sea Clan might have come from there.

Because there are too many mysteries and unknowns, Irelia does not plan to open the dungeon for the time being. She came out to take a look just to find out whether Esde’s simulation has ended. Then she will find Ash to fight together.

“Keep exploring.”

…

[In March 1780, Esde led his troops to defeat the orc army and beheaded more than 3 of them.]

[At the end of March, Esde ambushed the main force of the orcs. The two sides fought on the prairie. After three days, the main force of the orcs was defeated. Esde took advantage of the victory and pursued and defeated the main force of the orcs. ]
