From the curse back, I started to eat the clone's soft rice

After hearing Anxiu's words, Tallulah said with some entanglement.

Admittedly, replacing the ordinary Imperial Army with the Wendigo Legion or the Luna Wolves Army can indeed minimize the losses and maximize the deterrent effect, but if you want to send two legions to achieve the most shocking effect, at least hundreds or thousands of people will be needed.

When it comes to a group of remnants of nobles, it always feels like sending an aircraft carrier group to fight pirates.

"That's okay. There's no need for the Wendigo Legion or the Luna Wolves to intervene. I intend to use this opportunity to showcase the Empire's new military."

"We will use these remnants of the nobility, and their backers, to establish the prestige of the new troops that will soon join the empire."

A smile appeared on An Xiu's lips, and the new type of soldiers he mentioned was naturally the giant Wendigo, whose strength had been preliminarily verified in the last world of Genshin Impact, but had not yet had the opportunity to show its strength on the land of Terra. Let these Terra natives feel the numerical charm of the ultimate enhanced version of the Wendigo.

Chapter 195: Tallulah: How can an invisible hand defeat an iron-blooded army?

On the border of the empire, in a border city.

Several nobles in formal attire gathered at a manor in the city. Most of them behaved elegantly, but their expressions were gloomy. Some of them had downcast eyes, some looked at each other and talked in low voices, or simply stood in the corner without saying a word.

Among these nobles, the leader was a middle-aged Filin nobleman, who was previously the honorable Earl of Victoria, an orthodox Victorian aristocrat.

Of course, that was only in the past. After Tallulah defeated the Duke's coalition composed of several grand dukes, took control of Victoria with absolute force, and merged the three countries into the Holy Terra Empire, these former Victorian nobles suffered collectively.

The reason was simple. The new empire did not recognize the nobles previously conferred by Victoria. As a result, all the nobles in the entire territory of Victoria were deprived of their noble status almost overnight. If they wanted to be re-conferred, they had to go to Londinium in person to apply to the empire for restoration again, so that they would have a chance to regain their title.

But the problem is, from Ursus to Casimir to Victoria, who in the whole of Terra doesn't know about the cruelty of the Red Dragon Emperor Tallulah towards the nobles?

The Ursus aristocracy had been completely wiped out when Tallulah held her coronation ceremony in the Ursus capital. The upper echelons of Casimir's Chamber of Commerce were practically exterminated, and nearly half of Casimir's knightly nobles were dismissed. A few, like the Linguang family, who had actual achievements and good conduct, were barely retained, but they only retained the title of nobility and, aside from a slight increase in social status, enjoyed almost no privileges.

Don't even think about fiefdoms or city management rights. The only way to be appointed to any position with real power is to be appointed by the empire after demonstrating ability.

This kind of overbearing and centralized power would certainly be boycotted by the nobles in a normal country on Terra. However, from the very beginning, the nobles of Ursus had already profoundly explained to these Victorian nobles the tragic consequences of those who dared to go against the Red Dragon Emperor.

Dare to boycott? Then go talk to the several armies under my command and the Wendigo Legion.

Large aristocratic groups or capital groups such as business federations that control the national economy can form an invisible hand to engulf the entire country, but the Iron-Blooded Army and the Wendigo Legion can hang the invisible hand and the masters behind them on the gallows.

Just ask, after seeing the fate of the Ursus nobles and the Casimir Business Union, how many of the Victorian nobles would dare to go to Londinium to meet Tallulah?

Considering the situation before Victoria, with its many noble warlords separatist, and the fact that after Tallulah ascended to Londinium and labeled several dukes and their allied forces as rebels, none of the nobles in Victoria responded, wouldn't going to Londinium be simply walking into a trap?

As a result, a large number of Victorian nobles began to flee. A small number of them who simply wanted to save their lives and therefore did not take much money with them were able to escape, but those nobles who not only wanted to escape but also tried to transfer the property within their territory were in a more miserable situation. Most of them disappeared overnight.

After all, now that the fiefdoms have been reclaimed, all the properties that once belonged to the nobles have been nationalized. If you are sensible enough and simply want to live, Tallulah may turn a blind eye and let you leave alive because of her kindness. But if you dare to sell off the empire's property, you are simply courting death.

At the moment, the former Earl of Victoria was the type who fled without taking any property with him. However, this was not because he did not want to, but because his fiefdom was not far from Londinium. If he dared to spend time transferring his property, he was worried that he would be found by the imperial army before he could escape.

But just when he fled to this remote city on the border of the empire and was about to leave, the former Earl of Victoria regretted his decision. He was unwilling to give up his hereditary title and the life that was superior to all Terrans, so he chose to constantly encourage other former Victorian nobles who had fled here to stay and try to infiltrate this border city.

Coincidentally, his intention was discovered by a group of unidentified people who claimed that they would provide them with some assistance to help them secretly control this border city, and the price was that they had to keep collecting intelligence from the empire and report it to them.

This group of people are none other than the 'Voice of the Queen', a spy under the White Queen, one of the Twin Queens of Leithnia. In order to gain insight into the Holy Terra Empire, a vast nation that was suddenly established in a very short period of time, the Twin Queens, as rulers of Leithnia, have never given up on sending people to secretly investigate the empire's true strength.

The nobles present now, including the former Earl of Victoria, are nothing more than pawns supported secretly, and even if any problems arise, they can distance themselves from them at the first opportunity.

After all, the Twin Queens are not stupid. The strength of the Holy Terra Empire is obvious. As the most powerful country on Terra today, the Twin Queens of Letania have witnessed with their own eyes the countries of Ursus, Casimir, and Victoria, which had territorial disputes with their country before, changing hands one after another. If we were to say which country among the Terran countries is the most insecure and also the most afraid of the Holy Terra Empire, apart from Dayan, it would definitely be Letania.

They don't want to go to war with the empire just to gather some intelligence about the empire. It is necessary to get some dirty hands like the remnants of the empire are doing now.

"Huh... With the covert assistance of our allies, we've basically completed our infiltration of this border city. I've summoned you all here to discuss whether we should further expand our sphere of influence, using this city as a base to continue infiltrating other border cities."

The leading earl took a deep puff of his pipe and spoke.

"But if we continue to expand our sphere of influence, we'll easily be discovered by the Empire, right? Important border cities are garrisoned by the Empire. Border cities like this one, which are geographically unimportant and therefore not deliberately guarded by troops, are already rare. If we continue to expand, once the Imperial Army discovers us..."

The expressions of the remaining nobles below did not agree with the Earl's proposal. In their opinion, the current situation was already very good. All they had to do next was lurk in the dark and provide intelligence to their supporters behind them, so that they could continue to act tyrannically in this remote border city. Why should they continue to take risks to infiltrate other cities?

To put it bluntly, even with the support of those behind the scenes, do they have the ability to do so?

Chapter 196: That Day, People Recalled the Fear of Being Dominated by the Wendigo

"Have you already forgotten the glory of your noble past and are planning to settle for the status quo?"

Hearing the words of the other remnants of the nobles below, the earl's face looked very unhappy.

In the Victorian era, even the slightest change in the expression of an earl like him would be enough to make other lesser nobles panic. However, now, although the other nobles present clearly saw that the earl looked unhappy, they did not take it too seriously.

After all, it was already a certain time, and the identities of all the remnants of the nobles present had been abolished by the empire. So what if he was an earl? Wasn't that all a thing of the past?

In the final analysis, everyone's identities are essentially the same. So who are you still showing off to?

To put it bluntly, they are still immersed in the glory of the past, fantasizing about defeating the empire and returning to their fiefdom. The other nobles present all suspect that the leading earl has a problem with his brain. Look at the imperial army and think about the invincible Wendigo Legion. Instead of continuing to hold on to unrealistic fantasies, it is better to lie down and enjoy the present.

As long as they can continue to ride roughshod over the heads of the common people and act as the superiors of their Terrans, these nobles will be satisfied.

Naturally, even though Count Filin's face had turned as black as coal, no one responded to what he said.

But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, accompanied by a burst of rapid shouting.

"My Lords, something terrible has happened!"

Hearing the shouts of their men, the few remaining nobles in the manor looked at each other, then stood up and went outside the manor.

"What happened? Didn't we order you not to come to this manor easily?"

Upon hearing this, the subordinate who came to report was horrified, but it was not because of the questioning of several remnants of the nobles.

"My Lords, our men stationed on the city walls just reported that the imperial army seems to be approaching!"

"What?!!"

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this.

"How, how could this happen? Why did the imperial army suddenly arrive? We clearly hadn't leaked any information before. Unless His Majesty the Emperor could notice even the smallest incident in a remote border city, there's no reason for him to discover us."

"We were discovered even in this situation. Are we really that unlucky?"

"Don't worry, maybe it's not us who's been exposed. The imperial army might be here for other reasons."

"Yes, yes, yes. Have our men stationed on the city walls reported which imperial army is coming?"

"My Lords, according to reports, the incoming army may be... the Wendigo Legion."

Facing the questions from the crowd, the subordinate who came to report swallowed and returned.

"Wendigo Legion?!!"

In an instant, the faces of all the remaining nobles present turned pale and their clothes were soaked with sweat.

Everyone knows the Wendigo Legion. It is the most powerful and terrifying army under the Red Dragon Emperor. The full strength of the army can reach several thousand people, and all its members are powerful Wendigos.

In the entire Terra, there is no country that is not terrified of this army!

Damn it, what on earth have they done to deserve the Empire sending out the Wendigo Legion to deal with them?

"The Wendigo Army? How could it be a Wendigo Army?! Is there a specific number? How many Wendigos have come? And what do you mean by it looks like a Wendigo Army? Could it be a case of mistaken identity?"

The leading earl asked hurriedly.

To be honest, he now regretted choosing to stay in this border city and wanted to run away. I believe that most of the people present also had the same idea at this moment.

But the problem is that the imperial army is now at the gates of the city. They have to at least withstand the first wave of attacks. At the very least, they cannot let the soldiers stationed on the city walls, who are unaware that the city has been secretly controlled by them and still obey the orders of the empire, open the city gates at the first time. Only in this way can they buy time to escape.

Therefore, everyone in the manor is praying at this moment, hoping that the number of imperial troops and Wendigos coming here will not be too large, so that they can still have a chance of survival.

"According to the report, there are only three of them."

Upon hearing their subordinates' answers, the remaining nobles breathed a sigh of relief.

"Only three Wendigos? Luckily, there's a rumor that three Wendigos can destroy a small city, but that was a long time ago."

"That's right. As long as our people can forcibly take over the fortifications on the city wall immediately, it shouldn't be a problem to hold off the three Wendigos for a while. This time is enough for us to escape."

"Fortunately, the situation has not reached the worst point."

Faced with the happy expressions on the faces of the people in front of him, the subordinate who came to report hesitated for a moment, but still added a sentence.

"But according to our people on the city wall, their complete description of the three wendigos was that they were three wendigos as big as mountains..."

"What do you mean, what's a mountain-sized Wendigo?"

Boom!

Before the remaining nobles could think about it, a flash of thunder suddenly appeared in the sky, followed by bursts of thunder.

For some unknown reason, a large number of dark clouds suddenly gathered together, covering the sky at an extremely fast speed, plunging the entire city into darkness.

The howling wind made everyone's clothes rustle. At this moment, everyone's heart couldn't help but become very depressed.

After all, anyone can sense that something is wrong with such abnormal weather changes.

Boom!

Another sound was heard, but this time it came not from the sky, but from the ground.

The ground beneath their feet was shaking for some reason, and the strong tremors seemed to be clearly transmitted to everyone from a long distance away, as if some huge creature was walking, and the shaking of the ground beneath their feet was because of the sound of its footsteps.

But, but how is this possible? After all, if this is true, then how big would that giant creature be?

So, their guesses must be wrong and just unrealistic fantasies, right?

The trembling feeling became more and more intense, and finally, at one point, a remnant of the nobles who was facing the distant city wall suddenly looked extremely terrified.

Everyone followed his gaze, and then their eyes became terrified and dull.

Looking towards the direction of the city wall, the first thing I saw was not the nearly 100-meter-high city wall, but a huge head.

Scarlet light flashed in the eye sockets of the deer-like head. The huge figure was even taller than the city wall. The hundred-meter-high city wall could barely reach the chest of the one who was over one hundred and fifty meters tall.

At this moment, the huge figure like a mountain slowly turned its head, like a giant looking down at ants. Its scarlet eyes swept across the buildings in the city and finally stopped on the manor where everyone was.

"hold head high----!!!!"

The deafening roar resounded throughout the world. At the same time, the same response came from the direction of the city walls on the other two sides.

Three, three giant Wendigos, each 150 meters tall, surrounded the entire city from three directions. At this moment, the huge city seemed to have turned into a dinner plate, and the people in the manor were like fat sheep placed on the dinner plate, waiting to be slaughtered.

Chapter 197: Teach Leitania what a weak country has no diplomacy

The huge city wall was now empty. As soon as the giant Wendigo appeared, all the guards had retreated and began to evacuate the people in the city in the face of this obviously invincible enemy.

I saw a giant Wendigo stretching out a hand to grab the city wall, and suddenly, accompanied by a teeth-grinding cracking sound, dense cracks appeared on the originally solid city wall.

This was not intentional on the part of the giant Wendigo. After all, this city was the property of the empire. Compared with the power of the giant Wendigo, the walls of a small city were as fragile as tofu. Even if one was very careful, damage was inevitable.

After placing one hand on the city wall, the giant Wendigo stretched out its other hand, deliberately avoiding the area where civilians were. The huge hand that seemed to cover the sky and the sun for a normal human slowly clenched, and a spear made of lightning appeared in the hand of the giant Wendigo.

The remaining nobles in the manor had already fallen to their knees with weak legs, because after the huge lightning spear was condensed, it was thrown straight towards the manor where they were by the giant Wendigo.

Boom boom boom————!!!!!!

A violent explosion sounded, and the remaining nobles, the manor they were in, and a large uninhabited area around them were all covered by lightning in an instant. Everything within the range was instantly wiped out from the world by this attack.

And because the power was deliberately controlled, although the entire city was shaking under this attack, until the aftermath dissipated, other people in the city only felt a "slight shock" and were not affected in any other way.

"How can this be..."

Looking at the huge crater formed by the previous attack in the area where the manors of the remnants of the nobles in the city were previously located, several spies belonging to the Twin Queens of Letania, also known as the "Voice of the Queen" hidden in the city, stared blankly with wide eyes.

In fact, as early as the moment the giant Wendigo appeared, all the members of the Queen's Voice had been stunned, and it was only now that some of them came back to their senses.

However, even after they managed to come to their senses, the spies of the Queen's Voice only felt a strong sense of absurdity about the scene before them.

After all, who could tell them where these monsters came from, taller than the city walls, whose mere presence could change the celestial phenomena, and who looked so much like a magnified Wendigo?

A giant Wendigo over 150 meters tall, is this even human?!

Did the Empire's Wendigo Corps mutate? Or did the Wendigos within the Empire revert to their original form?

He could crush the city wall with one hand and leave behind a huge crater with one strike. The aftermath of the attack alone was enough to shake the entire city, coupled with the oppressive feeling brought by his huge size.

The BYD Empire should have told you earlier that it had this thing. If it had, would the Queen have sent them to test the empire's strength?

What the hell could possibly stop such a terrifying war monster on the battlefield?! Even a high-speed battleship would be overturned head-on by these giant Wendigos, right?

"Fortunately, it seems our presence hasn't been exposed yet. These monsters only stopped after dealing with the nobles."

The giant Wendigo outside the city wall stopped attacking after killing all the remaining nobles in the city with one blow. The members of the Queen's Voice immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.

As long as their presence is not exposed, all they have to do next is leave here before the Empire's personnel and troops arrive to deal with the subsequent situation in the city, carefully dispose of all traces left behind, and then return to Leithania to pass the collected intelligence to the Queen.

As for the dead remnants of the former Victorian aristocracy?

What does this have to do with them, Leithania? They know nothing.
