And who is the richest force in the royal capital
Aristocratic faction!
At this time, a night watchman outside the door came in and handed the empress a handwritten letter.
The empress took it and took a look at it. She couldn't help but raise her red lips and said, "Oh, the nobles of the capital have come to hold us accountable. They want to use remote projection magic to convene a temporary parliament."
Chapter 84 I will get back all the debts I owe! (Fourth update)
"Congress?"
Licinius couldn't help laughing and asked, "What do they want to do by convening a temporary parliament at this time?"
Red Dragon was furious when she mentioned the nobles. She had had enough of them over the years. "Of course, they want to stop the battle urgently and force us to withdraw. They are using the same old tactics from the past few years. First, they control the transportation of food, and then refuse to provide military funds."
She snorted coldly: "Without money to buy weapons and food, the soldiers will starve. And without money, who will fight for you? As long as they control the wealth of the empire, they can control the people's hearts."
Licinius thought that indeed, when faced with life and death issues, most people would abandon their faith.
No matter how patriotic you are, you can't fight a war on an empty stomach.
What’s the use of your Majesty’s charisma
You are loyal, but His Majesty cannot pay you a salary.
In order to support the family, job hopping is inevitable.
The empress raised her beautiful eyes and said calmly, "The little money of the royal family, including the private money I saved from traveling around the continent, has been invested in the Truth Project. If we can't convince them in Congress, then we will indeed face a very embarrassing dilemma."
"Ahem..."
Licinius asked tentatively, "Don't you still have a lot of holy relics?"
The empress narrowed her eyes and raised her voice: "Can relics be sold?"
That's her life.
It is more important than dowry.
"I didn't say I would sell it. You can mortgage it to Florence. The Secret Tower has plenty of money!"
Li Xini counted on his fingers: "Including the royal silks, antique murals and other collectibles. Including the high heels, dresses and stockings you wore, you can also auction them for a high price... Don't glare at me, I mean you can sell them to your die-hard female fans, they have money too!"
He analyzed, "After these things are sold, I will use the money to make some money. As for my sister, I will try my best to get her to hand over her dowry. Our Valerius family is quite wealthy, and she is also a hidden rich woman."
Of course, if you are willing to sell your underwear, such as underwear, panties, etc.
Tsk, the original flavor of the empress.
Licinius immediately sold the clay bomb recipe and his shop and went all in!
"Heh, do you know how expensive the Destruction Mercury you want is? It's comparable to a top-level holy relic."
The empress looked at him coldly.
It seems to be saying, please solve this problem for me quickly!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. As long as I live, you won't have to endure the wrath of the nobles anymore."
Licinius waved his hand and said, "As for the military expenditure, we just need to hold on until the first batch of Titan cannons can be put into use. After that, I will find a way to solve the funding problem."
The first batch of alchemical matrices and blueprints he delivered was eventually codenamed Titan Cannon.
These will be the first thermal weapons to come out.
The power that will change the world!
The empress was stunned, but as smart as she was, she immediately knew what the young man was talking about.
She snorted, a hint of a deep smile appeared on her lips, and she said with satisfaction: "Very good! I forgot about this. Although this approach is crazy, I like it very much!"
Licinius looked at her and smiled, thinking that even if she was an empress, she still had the temper of a little girl.
I feel bad...
"What on earth are you talking about?"
Red Dragon asked blankly: "Can the problem of military expenditure really be solved?"
This crude and rough woman obviously couldn't keep up with the pace.
The empress smiled, stared at the map in the tent, and ordered: "Trust Lord Licinius. Red Dragon, strengthen the defense of the barracks tonight, arrange for the Holy Light Knights to go to Florence, and make sure that the weapons arrive safely. Lord Neil, the military advisor is not in good condition. You can show your skills without him."
Old Neil bowed and saluted: "As you command, Your Majesty."
Without that damned black magician, he is the most powerful radar on the battlefield.
It can not only observe enemy actions and provide early warning, but also be responsible for the transmission of information and the screening of spies.
It can also boost military morale.
There is no problem even going into battle to kill the enemy.
Very useful anyway.
As for the confrontations between the secret agents, they were naturally the responsibility of the Night Watchmen.
Currently, the Iron Legion on the airship is under close surveillance by the Night Watch.
Although Cyrus has a rebellious heart, he currently dares not openly disobey His Majesty's orders.
War is imminent, and the ancient city of Hera is currently guarded by the Iron Legion.
They were facing off against the Loen Kingdom's army at a distance of thirty-two kilometers.
But they just held their ground and gave a lot of reasons, and it was obvious that they were just slacking off.
“Everything is ready.”
Licinius took a look at the complicated map on the long table. He didn't know much about military knowledge, but he could still see that the terrain outside the ancient city of Hera was mostly complex.
It's not the more common great plains.
But that's okay.
The truth can level everything.
Once the Titan cannon arrives, it will be delivered to the special forces of the Legion of Glory for use.
Licinius also made some changes to the Titan cannon.
There are no restrictions on the first use of these thermal weapons after they are refined.
And the second time, a restrictive spell will appear.
It can only be opened by a special matrix made from his blood.
This is the ultimate insurance.
The only person who can use the Titan Cannon must be the one chosen by him.
Even if his blood could leak out, no one knew how to create the alchemical matrix.
"Noren..."
Li Xini shrugged. "In that case, let's take out our cooking recipes. Since we are going to fight, we must crush our opponents in all aspects. When the two Glory Legions arrive at the battlefield, we will hand over the recipes to the logistics department and ask them to give the soldiers something good to eat."
Noren said "oh".
"What's the recipe?" the empress asked curiously.
Tria was stunned, and suddenly remembered the recipe she saw in the old house on Maria Street.
"That is none of your business, Your Majesty."
Li Xini asked with a hint of anticipation: "Did you really get the Mercury of Destruction that I wanted?"
It was only after he asked the Hundred-Eyed Evil God that he learned about the existence of such a special substance.
It possesses extremely rare destructive properties.
So far, no substance has been found that it cannot destroy.
Of course, substances with mysterious powers are another matter.
For example, a high concentration of magic shield or something.
"I already have the active devouring metal you want, and I also got the destructive mercury by handing over the secret formula of the Titan Cannon and a large amount of gold coins."
The empress glanced at the sky and said, "It will be delivered in two hours at the latest."
Mercury of destruction, with extremely strong destructive properties.
Active devouring metal, its function is to accumulate elemental power by eating other substances.
They are all extremely high-level and rare materials.
“I’m really looking forward to it.”
Li Xini's eyes flickered. This idea came to him after he obtained the Eye of Darkness.
I didn't expect that after consulting the Hundred-Eyed Evil God and His Majesty, it would be realized so quickly.
If I could really refine that thing, it would be much more exciting than the Berserker's Hand Cannon!
"What are you working on again?"
The empress is now looking forward to this guy.
Every time is a different surprise.
"Ah, have you heard of anti-material sniper rifles?"
Li Xini thought for a moment and said, "Oh no, to be precise, it should be the Alchemy Magic Technology Three-in-One Anti-Material Sniper Rifle. Wasn't Captain Red Dragon worried that we would be at a disadvantage in the battle with the warlocks? It's time to let those barbarians from the Kingdom of Loen know what the power of the times is."
He licked his lips and asked, "By the way, when does Congress start?"
The empress said meaningfully: "Probably tomorrow afternoon, you will meet your old acquaintance."
She knew that this young man was a complete father-worryer.
"Oh, I'm really looking forward to it. It's a pity that they didn't come in person, otherwise I might have to put on a show. Goodbye, my father, and my cowardice!"
Li Xini sighed regretfully, turned his head to look at the girl beside him, and said with a smile: "Noren, it seems that the stage play of fatherly love and filial piety will be delayed for a while longer."
Given the pampered nature of those nobles, they would never risk coming to a place like a battlefield.
Norn stuffed a peeled grape into his mouth, but his eyes were unusually gentle.
Because she knew that the young master had suffered a lot because of him.
The family once used her as a threat and forced the young master to do many things he didn't want to do.
The hatred incurred over the years must be taken back bit by bit.
"But I will give him some surprises when we meet tomorrow."
Licinius tilted his head, and the iron demon's mask seemed to be smiling silently.
Chapter 85: Thousands of cannons roar, doomsday is coming! (Two in one)
“Refine!”
A dark overlapping hexagram matrix lit up in the palm of Licinius' right hand and flashed away.
The Ouroboros disappeared again, and was replaced by a huge silver-white sniper rifle. The slender barrel was scarlet, with hideous lines swirling around it like blood vessels. The gun frame was made of steel. The cold lines and eerie colors filled it with a strong sense of violence.
There is a black scope mounted on the gun mount, which uses a special distorted lens.
It is a unique and top-of-the-line telescope in this world.
With a little modification, it can be installed on a sniper rifle.
The only thing missing is the magazine.
"After several attempts, we found that the Ouroboros Undead Metal is the most compatible. And because of the characteristics of Undead Metal, there is no need to worry about wear and tear or damage."
Licinius murmured, "In this way, I can integrate all kinds of rare metal materials into the Ouroboros, and transform its form through different types of alchemical matrices."
Today, the Ouroboros, which appears to be only the size of a bracelet, has several alchemical matrices embedded inside.
And there are three different states.
The first is the normal pistol mode.
