When Yasna led her troops to fight fiercely with the Pikaan army, the Arctic Ice Kingdom had already blossomed on all sides.

[In October 1780, the Principality of Desibia surrendered. ]

[At the end of October, the Principality of Ludia announced its surrender. ]

[In early November, the Principality of Atessi announced its surrender.]

In the northern region, the territory belonging to the Arctic Ice Kingdom increased again, and the territorial colors of the three duchies also became the same color as that of the Arctic Ice Kingdom.

After taking down four principalities in one fell swoop, Ash did not choose to attack again, but instead sent four capable card-making Slaanesh guards to each country to take over administrative power.

Surrender does not mean complete submission. Ash is well aware that these countries will rebel without hesitation if given the chance. If one wants to completely conquer a place, one must start with its culture and beliefs.

Cultural invasion, belief rule!

However, cultural invasion is still not efficient enough. Ash plans to use Slaanesh to directly control the top leaders of various countries, and then vigorously develop the Cult of Khorne. In this way, within a few months, the four duchies will completely become part of the Arctic Kingdom.

Of course, the more followers the better. The behavior of Khorne followers is often too extreme. It is better to say that there are very few who can become Khorne followers and fight with the Holy See. As for the rest, most ordinary people, Ash needs them to work hard to earn their living expenses and security fees.

Hmm? No?

Chu Chu Chu!

“The last simulation started with the Ten-Nation Alliance. We moved too hastily. We can’t make the same mistake again this time.”

Ash thought secretly.

The turning point of the last simulation was the southern expedition. If the coalition forces of ten nations could be wiped out in advance, there would no longer be 350,000 coalition forces entering Zi Ling. Of course, the Holy See would definitely intervene in this process, so Ash needed to consider all factors and seek the greatest benefit.

The painting project needs to be carried out step by step, testing the limits of the Holy See step by step.

Painting, controlling, developing, storing up food, and slowly becoming emperor… In addition to this, Ash now has an important task on hand.

【Unlock the title ‘National Master’. 】

He didn’t expect that the proud Queen Esde would actually take the initiative to ask him for advice.

My daughter wants to make progress.

This is a good thing.

In the game “In the Name of the Princess”, characters with high attributes can teach characters with lower attributes than themselves to improve the other party’s three-dimensional attributes, especially the female protagonists. Their initial attributes are not actually high, but they grow very fast and will eventually become powerful gold cards.

Like when I first taught Wei Nei, the latter’s attributes improved a lot.

Ash thought about it and decided that the title of Pioneer of New Ideas should not be wasted. The attribute bonus was real, and Esde was also a gold card with outstanding abilities in the middle and late stages. He was thinking about how to make Esde more obedient.

“Teaching and educating people, that’s what I’m good at.”

…

【Ash invites you to study cultural thought. 】

【Ash invites you to study politics. 】

【Ash invites you to learn strategy and tactics. 】

【…】

【…】

Queen Esde is growing up happily.

“This effect is too good. How high are Ash’s attribute values?”

Looking at the rapidly growing three-dimensional attributes, Esde was shocked. She had discovered before that there were three ways to improve personal attributes: one was to learn by yourself, which was a very slow way to improve. The second was to trigger special opportunities, such as playing a dungeon. The third was to be taught by others, but the other party’s attributes must be higher than yours, and generally there was a level leap.

For example, purple cards teach blue cards, and blue cards teach white cards.

Or maybe the opponent has a particularly outstanding value among cards of the same level, and this will be effective.

After so many simulations, Esde’s personal attributes were already very high, so she had only intended to learn Ash’s thinking mode and core concepts of tactics and strategy, but she did not expect to directly increase her three-dimensional attributes by so much.

[Achievement ‘Unique Vision’ obtained, Talent +3. 】

[Achievement ‘Thought Innovation’, Morality -3. ]

[Unlock the entry ‘World New Thought Awakener Elementary’. ]

[World New Thought Awakener Elementary: Politics +5, Leadership Ability +3, Charm +2, Comprehension, Learning Efficiency Increased by 10%. ]

“Hmm? Title?”

I don’t know what it’s used for, but it adds a lot of attributes.

When Esde saw it was still golden, she was immediately surprised.

“Can the gold attribute be acquired through learning?”

At this moment, Esde had to re-examine the value of Ash’s colorful card.

“This saves a lot of points.”

Points can be used to improve attributes and character entries, which are benefits that correspond to reality and are quite intuitive.

“But why does the moral value keep falling?”

Esde couldn’t understand, shouldn’t learning be a process of self-improvement?

Can morality go any lower?

It’s not impossible, but she has never seen a fall like this.

In addition, Esde also discovered that his character had a very high level of affinity with Ash.

This made her confused. She had only been studying for two months, so how come her morals dropped while her favorability increased?

To be honest, this favorability value is actually a bit dangerous.

“It’s not a big problem. As long as I can control myself and stick to my heart, it’s fine. This is something that is hard to quantify. Games are just games after all.”

After thinking about it, Esde felt that there should be no problem. She knew her own situation best. How could she develop a liking for someone for no reason?

Even if the memories are synchronized after the simulation, she just needs to stick to her original intention and not be affected by the memories.

Even if the morals of the game characters are lowered, hers will not be lowered.

She would not do anything that the game character did against his or her will.

Esde is still confident about this. What should be is what should be. Just like in the game, Ash became her father and regent. In reality, she would never let this happen, and would never use Ash again – because she would become Ash, or even better!

[Phyllis: I know how to do this question. I think Vinay has done this before.]

Princess Ferris was still watching the simulation out of boredom.

[Irelia: It should be able to improve a lot of attributes. ]

[Phyllis: Huh? Why are you here again? ]

[Irelia: It’s over.]

[Phyllis (alert): It’s over? Didn’t you become the queen? There’s no large-scale war, so how can it end? ]

She felt that Irelia was here to amuse her.

[Irelia: Went out to sea and encountered a plague. 】

Irelia didn’t explain too much. In fact, they didn’t encounter a plague, but the fleet encountered a storm at sea and was swept into an unknown land. That was the road leading to the open sea. There were thunderstorms everywhere, and the sea was foggy. It was impossible to see the surrounding situation clearly. After drifting for more than ten days, Irelia found herself in a strange place.

Abyss world.

Almost everyone around her had died, and only a thousand people were left on her ship out of the army of hundreds of thousands. Seeing that they could not go back, Irelia took the thousand people ashore to explore.

We encountered a large number of monster attacks along the way.

We found villages a few times along the way, and there were humans in them.

The village is suffering from a plague, and after asking around, it is discovered that it is a curse cast by an ominous witch.

They encountered a human army of only about two hundred people, but they defeated them and made them flee in disarray. After Irelia led her troops to escape, there were less than a hundred people left.

Also saw a strange lizard man.

They entered a deserted city and saw a group of undead creatures inside. A necromancer in black robes rode on a giant bone dragon, and countless skeletons surrounded Irelia and her men.

And then…there was no after.

Irelia felt like everything was a dream, but she knew that the simulation content was definitely real… The Abyss was an extremely chaotic and dangerous place!

[Phyllis: That’s really unlucky for you. But among the four of us, Esde has Ash’s help so it doesn’t count. How could that girl Vene hold out for so long? Didn’t she end the simulation long ago and hide?]⑼

The simulated sharing interface of Venetian was closed, so Phyllis couldn’t see what that guy was doing.

[Irelia: Because it won’t happen. Her Highness Venetian probably can’t help but stay here… What’s the situation in the North now? ]

[Felice: Regent King Ash has conquered four countries, the useless Queen Esde is learning from him, and Queen Margarian is about to give birth. Esde will have a brother or sister. I hope she won’t do anything immoral… But this guy is immoral, he says one thing and does another, just like you.] 8

[Irelia: …]

The amount of information is a bit too much.

But what do you mean by the same as me? I don’t recognize Ash as my father.

The scene changes.

The simulation message continues.

[In December 1780, a riot broke out in the Desibia region and was suppressed.]

[In the same month, the orc army appeared in the Atsi region.]

[In the same month, a large number of nomadic soldiers appeared in the Ludiya region. ]

On the strategic map, the orcs and nomads began to take action.

It is cold in December, and a new round of cold wave is very likely to break out again. Whether it is orcs or nomads, they need to stockpile more food. It is unrealistic to attack Amus, which is heavily guarded by Ash. It is just right to enter the three major areas conquered by the Arctic Ice Kingdom because it is chaotic enough.

However, the orcs and nomads had obviously miscalculated, because although the number of troops stationed in these three regions was small, they were all led by Ash, and it would be better to attack the border of the Arctic Ice Kingdom than to attack those places.

[In January 1781, the orc army and nomadic soldiers were blocked, suffered heavy casualties, and retreated one after another.]

[Phyllis: Poof, he ran away right away.]

[Irelia: It’s normal. We’re just fighting for food in winter. There’s no need to fight to the death in one place.]

The place where the most intense fighting for food broke out was the junction area between the northern border and the eastern and western continental plates, because the countries there were relatively weak and easy to rob.

[In February 1781, the former Ice Queen Margarian gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Regent King Ash held a banquet in the royal city, and the whole country celebrated.]

Esde was shocked when he saw the news.

Finally, she gave birth to a child, and she had two in her lifetime.

Forget it, it doesn’t matter. Her mother has fallen and is no longer the goddess she once admired. Her goal now is to become a better self, to surpass Margarian and Ash!

【You attended the party. 】

[At the banquet, you saw Margarian and Ash standing together with their child, feeling a little disappointed.]

“???”

A series of question marks appeared above Esde’s head.

[Felice: I smell a hint of Irelia.]

[Irelia: Your Highness Ferris, please explain clearly, what do you mean by my taste? ]

[Phyllis: You judge for yourself…@Weinei, come out and see, the prince of your dreams married someone else and had two children.]

no response.

[Phyllis: This hasn’t come out yet, it looks like it’s still being simulated.]

Esde couldn’t hold it any longer.

“Maybe it’s because of Mother Margarian.”

she thought to herself.

After all, the character’s experience in the game has not been synchronized with reality, so she cannot personally feel what Esde is feeling at this moment, but she guessed that he must be feeling depressed after seeing his mother being kidnapped.

Never mind, it’s just a simulation anyway.
