Chapter 1419: Determination to Die
In addition, the total number of county city guards and county city guards exceeds the city guards of the state capitals. Therefore, just to pay the salaries of the city guards of thousands of states will require more than a trillion holy crystals.
If the rebels are suppressed and the state capital is recovered in the future, more military pay will need to be paid.
By then, where would she find so many Saint Crystals?
Thinking of this, Empress Lingzi had a headache. She looked at the Prime Minister and said, "Can we expand the scale of mining of holy crystals?"
"Your Majesty, it's difficult!"
The Prime Minister shook his head: "However, I have ordered people to work hard to collect new holy crystal mines. Once a new holy crystal mine is found, we can increase production!"
"Increase production? Haha!"
The empress smiled mockingly to herself: "Today's military expenditure requires at least one trillion holy crystals every year. Even if the output is doubled, it will be of no avail!"
The Prime Minister was silent, and thought to himself, yes, so what if we find a new holy crystal mine, water from afar cannot quench our thirst, not to mention that the empire is now in chaos, and most of the civil and military officials have selfish motives.
Don't think that the empress is stupid. She has been the empress for so many years, but she has no loyal confidants. Therefore, she already knows that the major forces in the empire have teamed up with the mysterious external force to short the Phoenix Coin.
But behind these forces stood the civil and military officials in the court.
The empress wanted to deal with these officials and kill them all.
But she couldn't. The short selling of Phoenix Coin this time involved a wide range of people, and more than 90% of the officials were involved. If she really wanted to take action, I'm afraid as soon as the news got out, all the officials would turn against the news.
By then, the entire Fengling Empire will collapse in advance, and even the empress herself will be unable to protect herself. After all, the general Zhu Shou who was most loyal to her has fallen.
Therefore, the current empress can only act stupid.
Pretending to know nothing, she could understand how painful the empress's mind was.
"Prime Minister, do you think we can restore Feng Coin's credibility?" The empress' voice sounded again, pulling the Prime Minister out of his thoughts.
"Your Majesty, this is difficult!"
The Prime Minister smiled bitterly and said that she had also thought about this problem and even thought about replacing the Saint Crystal currency system with another system, but she has never been able to find a suitable replacement item.
"Your Majesty, urgent report from the border!"
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the imperial study room.
"Send it in!"
The empress felt ominous.
Soon, a piece of information was delivered to the Empress' desk. After reading it, her entire face turned as cold as ice.
"Your Majesty, is this the Sky Empire...?"
Prime Minister Cang Xue asked with worry.
Empress Lingzi nodded, her voice filled with an abnormal calmness: "The Cangqiong Empire sent 50 million troops to invade from Nanyan Continent. Now, most of Nanyan Continent has been captured!"
Without waiting for the Prime Minister to speak, the Empress continued: "Prime Minister, do you think our Fengling Empire can be saved?"
Obviously, the Cangqiong Empire knew that there were only 50 million elites left in the Fengling Empire.
If these 50 million people are sent to fight at the border, no one can suppress the rebellion within the Fengling Empire. As long as the Cangqiong Empire's army holds back these 50 million Fengling troops, the Fengling Empire will continue to deteriorate. erosion.
If the empress did not send those 50 million people to the border, the city guards alone would not be able to resist their invasion.
There was also news from the Holy Alliance.
The Six Holy Kings are about to ascend the throne and become the new leader of the alliance.
After he has reorganized his forces, will he sit back and wait for such a great opportunity?
At that time, it will be the Holy Alliance and the Cangqiong Empire attacking the Fengling Empire.
Therefore, no matter what we do, the Fengling Empire is not far from being destroyed.
Thinking of this, Empress Lingzi felt a little regretful in her heart. If she hadn't insisted on attacking the Holy Alliance, how could such a thing have happened?
Of course, what she hates even more is the mysterious force that shorted Phoenix Coin.
If Feng Coin had not collapsed, Fengling Empire would not have fallen into this situation.
Facing the empress's inquiry, the Prime Minister remained silent again.
But the empress seemed to have forgotten what she had just asked, and said to herself: "After taking over the empire from my mother, I have been working hard. I am afraid that I will live up to my mother's expectations, and I hope that one day the Fengling Empire will become the most powerful in the Daoling world. A powerful empire will be destroyed again The Holy Alliance avenges my mother. For this ideal, I have given up a lot. After taking the throne for so many years, I have not even stepped out of the imperial capital. Apart from dealing with state affairs and practicing cultivation, I am really tired. I have almost forgotten how much I have I haven’t slept once in years!”
"Your Majesty, your suffering is visible to me!"
The Prime Minister said in a complex tone, but there was a look of love and pity in her eyes. She and the Empress could be said to have grown up together. The original Empress was an innocent girl, and her biggest ideal was to travel throughout the Dao Ling world. Eat all the delicacies in Daoling Realm.
But since she became the empress, her whole person has changed. She has devoted herself to state affairs and cultivation, completely forgetting her original ideals.
The Fengling Empire was also prospering under her care, but her many years of hard work turned to waste overnight.
"Prime Minister, please accompany me for a walk. I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future!"
Suddenly, the empress raised her head and looked at the Prime Minister with expectation.
For no reason, the Prime Minister felt distressed, because no matter what the outcome, the fate of the empress was destined. The Cangqiong Empire would not let her go, nor would the Holy Alliance let her go. Even the many forces in the Fengling Empire would not let her go. she.
No matter who becomes the final winner, she is destined to be sacrificed.
The Prime Minister's heart surged with an impulse, staring at the Empress, and said with expectation: "Your Majesty, how about we hide our identities, stop caring about all this, and be ordinary people?"
The Empress smiled, and her smile was full of sadness: "The empire was passed down to me by my mother, I can't abandon it!"
The Prime Minister's heart sank, knowing that the Empress had already made up her mind to die, and forced a smile: "Lingzi, put aside everything for the time being, sister will accompany you to visit this beautiful land!"
"Thank you sister!"
The Empress also smiled, and her smile was more innocent.
Qin Tian has been in Fengling Empire for ten days. The entire Fengling Empire is in chaos, fighting everywhere, and even the air is filled with a smell of blood.
He has a great responsibility for all this.
But he has no choice. He is at least a member of the Holy Alliance. If he does not help the six kings, then the end of the Holy Alliance may be worse than that of Fengling Empire.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
A figure flashed by, and a group of fierce-looking people surrounded Qin Tian and others.
The laws of the Fengling Empire have now collapsed, and the human nature that has been bound for many years has also been released at this moment. In the past, if you broke the law, you would be dealt with by the empire.
But now, the empire itself is in danger, so how can it care so much.
"Boy, if you want to live, hand over all the storage rings on you, otherwise you will die!"
The leader shouted sternly.
This kind of thing is not the first time that Qin Tian and his group have encountered it. It can be said that they encounter it several times a day.
Qin Tian's eyes fell on Song Meng, Ao Zijun and Gu Jie: "Who of you will go up?" (To be continued)
