After Defeat, the Empress’s Negotiating Chip Turns Out to Be Me

Chapter 46

46~ Method~

The little Princess sat in the Empress's lap petting cats, completely not in the mood to listen to the Empress and General Qin's discussion.

"This, I want to ask if Your Highness has any suggestions?"

"Ah ah? No."

She just wasn't in the mood. Where would she listen?

Seeing the little Princess had no mood, General Qin also didn't continue asking, afraid of making the little Princess even more unhappy in a bit, and the Empress would deal with him afterward.

"Mo."

"What?"

Lifting her head under pressure, General Qin on the side hastily averted his gaze.

"Regarding what you wanted to know before, I've already investigated some leads~"

It was about the former Scarlet Radiance Nation. The little Princess of course still remembered this matter. She immediately became interested again.

"Then is there information about the builder?"

"Didn't I already say it's just some leads? Things from several hundred years ago, how could they be so easy to figure out?"

Not to mention historical gaps leading to information loss. The nine nations that split from Scarlet Radiance Nation each took certain historical information. Finding it also required time to compare and piece together. Take Scarlet Phoenix Nation for example. In the middle, there was even a dynastic change, making the historical gap even more severe. Being able to find even a tiny bit of Scarlet Radiance Nation's information locally was already good!

Among the nine nations that split from Scarlet Radiance Nation, apart from Scarlet Phoenix Nation, two other nations also experienced dynastic changes. So until now, they had only found some leads regarding that room.

"Leads?"

"Yes, leads."

The little Princess was thoughtful. Next, what Scarlet Phoenix Nation faced was the Eastern Region's Eighteen Alliance Nations. Only by winning could there be the possibility of continuing to dig.

The little Princess's expression fell again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"But don't worry. I said before, as long as we recover Donglai, the Eastern Region's eighteen nations are just a motley crew."

"So that means I don't need to participate in the upcoming wars?"

"When did I ever say such a thing?"

So it meant she was still needed next?

To be honest, she always felt she wasn't that great. Her so-called talent mostly came from memories as a graduate student in her previous life. This body was actually completely a burden. Apart from a good appearance, it was nothing.

"Count me out. I'm not good at this kind of thing."

"The blitzkrieg recorded in history before was researched by you~"

"Just a coincidence."

"Then the blocking battle before that was also just a coincidence?"

The Empress moved close to her ear and said, her hand also scraped the inside of her thigh under the table, making her whole body shiver.

Aren't you afraid General Qin will notice something doing this!?

Perhaps because she hadn't been teased by the Empress like this for a while, she hadn't adapted yet for a moment.

She forcefully pinched the Empress's thigh. Unexpectedly, it went even further!

"Hey! Stop it! I'm about to..."

General Qin was somewhat puzzled. Was Princess Mo uncomfortable? Or was it...

He looked at Her Majesty the Empress and discovered her face had no expression, still concernedly inquiring how Princess Mo's body was. As expected, Princess Mo's body was uncomfortable.

"I'll help, I'll help, okay!?"

Hearing this, the corners of the Empress's mouth curved up slightly.

Originally, she actually didn't want to continue helping. When she saw that after the Empress recovered all nine nations that split from Scarlet Radiance Nation, the entire territory had complete resources. It could be said that resources findable in the entire Eastern Region, apart from those resources with relatively extreme growth conditions, could all be found within today's Scarlet Phoenix Nation's territory.

With such resources, afraid of not being able to defeat other nations? That fundamentally didn't exist, okay? With the current advantages, they just needed to develop for a period. Sweeping through the entire Eastern Region was completely no problem!

Unfortunately, the Empress was too eager for success, unwilling to give herself time to develop. She definitely wanted to conquer the entire Eastern Region in the fastest time.

What exactly was she after? Although she seemed ambitious, it hadn't reached the degree of trying to dominate the world. What exactly was driving her to continuously conquer the world?

"Come take a look. This is the Eastern Region's remaining eighteen nations... oh, now it's seventeen nations. Which do you think is most suitable as an attack target?"

Eastern Region Eighteen Alliance Nations. Donglai Nation was one of them. Although it fell, the Eastern Region Eighteen Alliance Nations' name still hadn't changed.

The remaining seventeen nations were mostly distributed north of Scarlet Phoenix Nation. The Eastern Region's south had almost all planted Scarlet Phoenix Nation's flags.

The little Princess carefully compared several nations whose territory was close to Scarlet Phoenix Nation. After discovering they weren't very suitable, she placed her gaze in the distance...

"Northern Radiance Nation."

The little Princess's statement scared General Qin.

Northern Radiance Nation. You had to know that was the nation farthest from Scarlet Phoenix Nation among the Eighteen Alliance Nations! It had already entered the Northern Territory's range!

"Your Highness, this...!"

"I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet."

The Empress on the side didn't speak, waiting for the little Princess's explanation.

"Northern Radiance Nation is located in the extreme north. It doesn't have too many resource advantages itself. The geographical advantage is mainly reflected in being easy to defend and hard to attack, because the extremely cold weather makes it difficult for attacking armies to advance. Not only do they have to resist the severe cold, they also have to guard against wild beasts living there."

"Among them, the most difficult is soldiers' acclimatization. After arriving there, it's very hard to adapt to the extremely cold weather."

"But as long as we conquer Northern Radiance Nation, then offense and defense switch. Our army becomes the side with the advantage."

"Then how shall I attack Northern Radiance Nation?"

The Empress propped up her chin and asked.

"Go around through the Misty Great Forest in the continent's center."

"How is this possible to do?"

General Qin exclaimed it was impossible.

Why was Misty Great Forest called Misty Great Forest? Because the miasma inside was very heavy, and mist lingered year-round. It fundamentally wasn't something people could pass through. Very few people who entered came out.

"Enchanted Equipment can solve this problem."

"Then how do we discern direction after entering? The trees in Misty Great Forest grow so densely. There's fundamentally no way to rely on the sun to discern!"

"Of course there's also a solution for this. Otherwise, why do you think I'd bring it up?"

First, Enchanted Equipment could be provided by Glaze Nation. Earlier when she was idle with nothing to do, she placed her attention on Misty Great Forest. Therefore, she had some Enchanted Equipment that resisted miasma, and also had a complete production line.

Not many nations would make this thing, because it fundamentally wasn't needed normally. Teams entering Misty Great Forest didn't need many people either. One, teams entering Misty Great Forest all possessed mages to dispel miasma. Two, there was no production line. The cost of individually manufacturing one piece of miasma-resisting Enchanted Equipment was high.

As it happened, Glaze Nation possessed an entire complete production line. Although the scale wasn't large, as long as Scarlet Phoenix Nation was willing to pay, then Glaze Nation could expand production scale at any time.

After listening to the little Princess's explanation, General Qin somewhat suspected whether the little Princess came from Glaze Nation. How could she even know clearly about Glaze Nation possessing a complete production line for miasma-resisting Enchanted Equipment? Glaze Nation never sold miasma-resisting Enchanted Equipment externally. Even within the nation, you could only buy it through custom orders. Equipment production lines could also only be established by the imperial family...

This kind of secret production line that was never disclosed externally, Princess Mo actually knew it clearly. Simply terrifying!

General Qin had to look at the little Princess with even more admiration.
