Great time travel

Chapter 96, The Vision of the Empress of the Empire

Fists, slaps, curses, howls, fights, flying shoes and chairs, and Queen Pinna rolling her eyes and looking sad on the throne. "The handed down paintings, through the physical communication between many characters in the picture, and the indescribable gloomy expression on Empress Pinna's face, clearly show the chaos, pessimism and laxity of this declining empire.

"...You must not sit back and watch the lowly headhunters occupy Rendell City. Your Majesty should immediately dispatch the Rose Knights and the Guards to crusade!"

"...It's ridiculous! The biggest crisis facing the country today is the mutiny of the Grasse Peninsula and the Imperial Navy! At this time, you want to instigate His Majesty to transfer the last elite reserve team from the imperial capital. Could it be that you want to lure wolves into the house? You How much bribe did you accept from the traitor?"

"...Shut up! That's a completely different matter. When did I say that I don't need to attack the rebels in the Grasse Peninsula? Although the empire's territory is large, none of it is superfluous. Whether it's orcs, barbarians or traitors, as long as they try to Anyone who invades the sacred territory of the empire must be punished in the same way! Moreover, the old man’s family has served the emperor for ten generations, and his loyalty to the empire and the royal family is absolutely beyond doubt..."

"...Damn it! You old man, stop pretending to be a loyal minister! If you hadn't suggested to the first emperor to activate the time-space gate to plunder the wealth of other worlds, the empire would not have the disaster it is now. Look at the empire now. What has become of it? What's the saying, "Although the territory of the empire is large, none of it is superfluous"? It sounds better than singing! Why don't you go and declare war on the aliens in Mount Arnus?"

"...The outsiders who illegally occupied Arnus Hill are naturally enemies of the country, and they should declare war and expel them as soon as possible..."

"... Enough! Old stuff! Stop talking nonsense at the military meeting of the Senate! General Graff, the Empire still has the ability to organize an expeditionary force and a corresponding transport fleet to cross the sea to suppress the Grasse Peninsula. Rebellion, to claim the head of the traitor, Gable?"

"...I'm afraid it's very difficult. Before His Majesty ascended the throne, the empire had already lost most of its excellent military ports, so the imperial navy had to park most of its ships in the crumbling enclave strongholds on the Grasse Peninsula. Now, with the rebellion of Hermister Lord Gabor, the entire Grasse Peninsula has changed hands in an instant, and four-fifths of the Imperial Navy's warships have also rebelled or been captured...

With all due respect, what the Senate needs to discuss right now is how to strengthen coastal defenses to prevent the rebels from the Grasse Peninsula from using the captured warships to cross the sea and attack the imperial capital instead of trying to take back the Grasse Peninsula, because this is simply impossible to things.The land route is already impassable, and if the sea route is used, the fleet carrying the expeditionary force will not be able to see the coastline at all, and will be sunk into the sea by enemy ships halfway! "

"...Damn it, that traitor Gabor was originally just the owner of a territory like Hermist. How could he sweep the entire Grasse Peninsula in just a dozen days, leaving the empire too late to react? Even the fleet I seized it before I even had time to go to sea!"

"... Of course Gable himself didn't have that ability, but who made him give birth to a saintly son, His Excellency Alpine? The local people simply worshiped the young man as if he were a god. The city-states voted Alpine as the supreme consul through a referendum! Moreover, Gable has been planning and preparing for this rebellion for a long time, but the empire is beyond the reach of the Grasse Peninsula..."

(The original setting of "Fantasy Self-Defense Forces", the prestige and image of Alpine, can refer to Sakyamuni and Mito Konmon for details.)
"...In this way, the empire is already doomed to lose the Grasse Peninsula, and can't punish that traitor Gable? How abominable!"

"...That's why this old man insisted on attacking the barbarians of the headhunters in Rendell City! I have already lost the Glass Peninsula and most of the imperial navy, so I have to win the battle quickly anyway, to save some face, otherwise the empire will be ruined." It will be attacked by princes from all directions!"

"...Stupid! Even if you want to find someone to fight and save face, you can't find a headhunter who has a lot of connections with people from other worlds!"

"...Gods! Compared with dealing with the rebels and barbarians, saving the collapsed finances is the top priority! The last bit of reserves in the treasury has bottomed out, and I don't know where the next month's military pay will be! If you can't If we get the money as soon as possible, even the rest of the army will mutiny!"

……

——The Imperial Senate under the rule of Empress Pinna, is still in the same group fight as usual today...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Seeing the elders of the empire who were cursing and fighting each other without any grace at all, Empress Pinna couldn't help but feel dizzy.

——It seems that only five years have passed since the empire united the mainland and the invincibility in the universe. Why did it suddenly turn into such a bad state?

Suddenly recalling five years ago, when I was appointed as the regent princess by my father who was on tour for the first time, when I sat on this throne holding a scepter, the empire that had just unified the entire Farmat continent and had unprecedented prestige was How dazzling and magnificent it is!

At that time, the barbarians all bowed their heads and huddled up in the wilderness like before, the peasants worked obediently in the fields as usual, and the vassal states from all over the world also paid tribute in trepidation. The banquet continued... But today, everything has changed.All the prosperity and mighty hegemony of the past, like a fantasy dream, have long since disappeared without a trace.

Thinking of this, Empress Pinna couldn't help being filled with melancholy and anger. When the supreme imperial power was handed over to her, the empire was left with only a crumbling hollow skeleton, endless rebellions, and financial bankruptcy. The collapse of the border defense, the dilapidated economy, the shrinking territory, and a lot of idiots fighting for power and profit are destroying the country step by step—she knows very well that at least a quarter of the elders are colluding with foreign forces in private, She is always trying to sell her and the throne of the empire for a good price.There are also some powerful veterans and generals who are eager to peep at the throne themselves, or want to replace a weaker and incompetent member of the distant branch of the royal family to sit on the throne as a puppet.

Obviously, they are all sinners who should be burned to death, but Queen Pinna has nothing to do about it. If she doesn't want to make herself a sinner, she must hold her nose and endure, and continue to deal with these heinous sinners. Pulling each other's hair, pulling beards, spitting, smashing chairs, hypocritically admonishing themselves with all kinds of unbelievable "harsh advice" - otherwise the empire may fall apart in an instant!

Whenever she thought of all this, the luxurious throne inlaid with gold and silver under her buttocks made her feel extremely cold and extremely helpless.

Back to the topic, Her Majesty the Queen knew very well before the military meeting of the Senate that the Grasse Peninsula was doomed to be lost.As early as when she first became emperor, the power of the empire on the land of the Grasse Peninsula had only a few port strongholds surrounded on all sides, and the land passage to the hinterland of the empire was completely cut off, surrounded by people with ulterior motives. princes and rebels.Even if the Imperial Navy is still in hand, it is a military adventure with a low probability of success to organize an expedition across the sea, not to mention that even the main force of the fleet has been lost now?

As for the headhunting rabbit tribe entrenched in Rendel City, they can only let it go.Anyway, before that, the imperial court had already lost control of that city, and it would be painless to change the owner now.Since the Rabbit Queen is still willing to ask for the canonization of the royal family, the imperial court should agree immediately, so that both parties can save some face.Otherwise, if you recklessly tear your face apart, on the one hand criticizing and arousing the other party's anger;

Anyway, Empress Pinna had already made up her mind that no matter how she was poked at the back and scolded, she could no longer use the only army she had. When she first came to the throne, the regular army of the empire was almost wiped out. So far, she has only restored the standing military force of the empire to a scale of about 8, of which 5 are private soldiers of noble lords from various places or militia guards of autonomous cities. It all depends on local self-raising, and its combat power can barely bully the common people. More than 2 regular troops with relatively high combat effectiveness were organized into three field regiments and several independent brigades. The rest included a regiment of imperial guards, the Knights of the Rose as the imperial guards, and two naval fleets. All the soldiers and horses under Queen Pinna's command.And with the rebellion on the Grasse Peninsula, not only was the territory of the empire that had already shrunk substantially, but it also lost another piece.Even the available soldiers under Queen Pinna's command will undergo another wave of substantial attrition.

Therefore, this small-scale army is already the fundamental bargaining chip for her to maintain the survival of the empire and her own throne, and absolutely cannot tolerate any unnecessary loss.Even if you want to go into battle, you can't put it in a place where you will lose, or on a battlefield where there is no oil and water.

Of course, it is very important to preserve the army, and it is also very important to maintain the reputation. Although Queen Pinna has done a lot of things like abandoning the country without fighting, I still hope that a few loyal ministers will stand up and offer to give up. Suggestion of falling into the land, more or less take the blame for her, otherwise the increasing infamy and pressure still make her feel a bit unbearable-unfortunately, the elders here don't seem to have many such "do not hesitate to blame, do for No matter how many hints Empress Pinna gave, they all turned a blind eye...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

All in all, after an extremely lengthy and cumbersome discussion and deliberation, as well as all kinds of sensational performances of crying, punching and kicking, the Imperial Senate finally came to basically the same conclusion about the major issues discussed today. That is: put it on hold for the time being and discuss it later.

——Well, the so-called re-discussion basically refers to re-discussing, re-researching, re-discussing, re-balancing, re-comparing, re-considering, re-observing, re-watching, re-thinking, re-considering blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

To put it in the simplest and straightforward way, it means that no feasible countermeasures have been proposed, and it can only be delayed.

Seeing this group of so-called "loyal ministers" who refused to share the responsibility and infamy for her, Empress Ping Na suddenly felt "tired".

Alas, it seems that they can no longer be counted on for major national affairs. Regardless of border defense or financial issues, they can only find their own solutions.

However, no matter how tired she is, she has to continue with the next schedule for today: that is to receive the tour group from Earth.

——As the capital of the empire, although the city of Ula Bianca is quite dilapidated now, it was once the center of civilization of the entire continent after all.Even after repeated wars, there are still countless cultural relics scattered in the streets and alleys: temples, squares, triumphal arches, monuments, libraries, public baths, celebrity tombs... Countless exquisite sculptures and murals are hidden among the lush green trees , can be called an excellent cultural tourist attraction.

The Imperial Palace located on the hill of Satyrai, naturally, like the Forbidden City in Beijing, Buckingham Palace in London, Versailles in Paris and the Kremlin in Moscow, has also become the first choice of travel agencies on the earth that provide "fantasy tours to other worlds". One of the important selling points is that almost every group of earth tourists who come to the imperial capital of Ula Bianca must visit the palace on the hill of Satyrai.

Of course, even the earth tour groups visiting other worlds are divided into different classes.Most ordinary earth tourists are only allowed to walk a few laps along the stone road in the palace under the supervision of guards and maids of honor, to take a look at the few idle palaces that have been opened, and then rush to close the palace gates in the evening leave.But occasionally, there are platinum-level VIP luxury tour groups of extraordinary value. Not only can they be personally received and guided by Queen Pinna, but they can also have an alien version of the palace feast with the red-haired queen in the palace. Stay overnight as a VIP...

——Of course, this extraordinary courtesy requires money. Seeing that her small coffers are full, the queen is so easy to talk about.

At this moment, Empress Pinna had just finished the meeting of the Senate when she saw a crowd of Earth tourists bustling outside the gate of the palace.Among them are men and women, old and young, all dressed in earthly clothes and uniform yellow peaked caps.Mr. Li Wenchang, the Chinese diplomatic consul stationed in the imperial capital, held a small red flag in his hand, standing in front of the tourist line, and was introducing something to them.The tourists, on the other hand, had already raised their smartphones and cameras, and approached the guards and maids with awkward expressions, snapping pictures.

At this moment, even if they saw the distinguished elders of the empire come out of the meeting, these earth civilians who do not have titles on their bodies have no intention of giving way to the elders, let alone kneel down to salute the elders.A few elders who were proud of their status were so angry that they blew their beards and stared, but they were helpless.

To be honest, Queen Pinna wasn't in a very happy mood when faced with these earthlings who didn't know how to behave.However, in view of these wealthy tourists from the earth, they have been making outstanding contributions to the enrichment of the royal coffers.Moreover, Li Wenchang also claimed in the previous secret meeting that if these distinguished guests can be satisfied, the emergency loan interest rate that Queen Pinna begged can enjoy a discount—this is the only way for Queen Pinna to make up for the financial deficit in the short term... ...So, after a brief hesitation, the red-haired Queen of Knights adjusted her mood as quickly as possible, put a perfect ceremonial smile on her face, opened her arms enthusiastically, and greeted the group It is said that the distinguished guests of the earth are of great wealth:
"... All distinguished guests from another world! Welcome to my palace..."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the evening breeze is blowing, and everything is silent.

The long table, which was messed up just now, has been cleaned up by the maids.The court entertainers who performed music and acrobatics also dispersed with reward money.Pushed by the joint efforts of the female knights, the two heavy bronze gates closed with a cracking sound, bit by bit.

The royal dinner for the earth tour group had come to an end at this time, and the tourists from the earth, who were full of wine and food, went to the guest rooms of the palace to rest under the guidance of the maid with the lamp.Empress Ping Na, who had been busy all day, finally came to rest.

——The personable and smiling Yan Yan in the banquet hall, and the penny-pinching and verbal strife in communication cannot conceal the exhaustion and melancholy that fills the heart. When I accompany this tour group to visit the palace, I will sign a contract with her by the way. Mr. Li Wenchang, the Chinese diplomatic consul who signed the agreement, bowed to her with a smile on his face. After the last one left the banquet hall, the true emotion gradually returned to the young empress.

Unloading the heavy golden crown and purple robe, Empress Ping Na, who had been busy for a day, no longer cared about her demeanor and manners, and directly collapsed on the soft bed, let the maids pull out her hairpin and Hairpin, let go of her long flame-like red hair, and then waited for her to change into soft slippers and loose nightgown. Finally, supported by two powerful maids, she almost staggered into the room. in the bathroom.

It wasn't until after soaking her tired body in hot water sprinkled with flower petals that the queen, who had been tense for a day, really felt physically and mentally relaxed.

On the inner wall of the bathroom, there is a mosaic inlaid portrait of her father, Emperor Molt: strong muscles, lips that are always smirking, and firm and deep eyes, making Empress Pinna look a little dazed: her father Although Emperor Molt was cruel and unjust, but at the same time he also spent his whole life as a soldier, conquering the north and south, pushing the empire's hegemony to the highest peak in history, and he is worthy of being one of the greatest monarchs in the history of the empire.However, after her father's sudden death, her two elder brothers almost completely destroyed the empire like idiots in just over a year.

Time has passed, and the result is irreversible. The elusive and fickle fate finally made Princess Ping Na, who was born in the concubine, the winner of the battle for the throne, and put the extremely heavy hope of revitalizing the empire on her. On her shoulders, she was crushed physically and mentally and exhausted.

Even so, she survived in the end, even though she was struggling for a while, and even though she was in danger, she still persisted until now.

Moreover, according to some news that Princess Pingna inquired, the bad luck that has lasted until now seems to be coming to an end, and the time to change fate is coming!
"...Father! Although I don't have your lofty ambitions, your bravery, or your strategy and skills, I will still do my best to protect myself and protect everything you left behind. The Empire will live, and so will I..."

Looking at the mosaic painting of her father on the wall, Queen Pinna muttered to herself, "...I found out from the church of Hanty, the god of the underworld. Counting from now, the shortest period is two years, and the longest period is three years. In four years, the gate of time and space on Arnus Hill will close and disappear, and those sturdy and powerful aliens will also leave the Farmat continent forever. The beautiful cities and countless heritages they left behind, It will become the possession of the empire. Once this huge wealth is obtained, the empire can easily get rid of the current predicament and win the capital to revive again..."

Speaking of this, Queen Pinna couldn't help sticking out her tongue and licking her lips, her eyes were shining brightly, "...At that time, I will move the imperial capital to another world on Arnus Hill There is no city more beautiful than it in the entire Farmat continent..."

However, just as Empress Pinna was stretching her jade body, half lying in the steamy marble bath, she was looking forward to peacefully taking over the city of Arnus in the near future.Little did they know that at the same time, there was another ambitious woman who was also paying attention to the "Inheritance of the Other World"...

PS: After reading "The Rise of the Lord God" by His Excellency Wen Chaogong, I found that Xianxia novels can also play unlimited streams, and the results are quite good.So after much consideration, Pharaoh Wang changed his plan again, and the new book "Attack on Meow Stars" still writes unlimited streams, but adds a copy of Xianxia.In this way, multiple brain holes can be considered, and by the way, imagine how practitioners fight swords in weightless spaceships, how to plant a paradise on an asteroid without an atmosphere, etc.——Imagine weightless monks The scene of dogs planing in space and smashing headbutts at each other must be very fun.

Then, in order to clearly introduce the ending of each character, the ending of "The Great Time Traveling" became longer and longer, so the promise of ending the book last week had to be skipped. I hope readers will understand.After all, when I write a novel, I always want to start well and finish well.It's painful enough to be forced to be unfinished by eunuchs once.Please continue to support Pharaoh Wang and finish writing the book "The Great Time Traveling", thank you.

Finally, I would like to recommend Brother Half Frog's new book "The Fruity Flavor of the Lord God", which is also an infinite flow story with a lot of brain holes.
